The icy gaze sent a shiver down Ah-Zhong's back. He gulped and said, "Madam, I know Young Master Yin Heng committed a grievous crime this time, but his motives were to better the future of the Yin family. After all, he's the future head of the Yin family..."
"You should know Eldest Young Master's personality. He's been bewitched by that vixen and most likely won't return, so the Yin family's future will have to depend on Young Master Yin Heng..."
Yin Yuerong's expression darkened abruptly. "Are you threatening me?"
"I... I wouldn't dare! Why would I, Madam?! I'm merely thinking on behalf of Madam and the Yin family!"
"Scram!"
"Yes... y-yes..."
...
In the Si residence secret dungeon:
Ah-Zhong snuck inside again.
As soon as Yin Heng saw Ah-Zhong, he asked anxiously, "How were things? Did Mother say when she'll rescue me?"
Ah-Zhong was afraid Yin Heng would be aggravated, so he tried his best to be tactful. "Madam... Madam is currently having a row with Eldest Young Master... So there's no way she'd relent so quickly... We can only inconvenience Young Master in suffering for several more days..."
"What? I have to wait several more days?" Yin Heng's expression darkened instantly and he finally sensed something was amiss. "Ah-Zhong, tell me the truth! Just what did Mother say? I want to hear her exact words!"
Ah-Zhong looked troubled. "Young Master Yin Heng, it'd be better if you didn't know..."
Yin Heng tightly clutched the metal bars. "Of course I have to know! Speak quickly!"
Ah-Zhong had no choice but to speak the truth. "Madam said... even if you were at the Yin Estate right now, your fate wouldn't be any better. And she also said... said... you were a piece of trash... and weren't worth her expending her energy..."
When Yin Heng heard this, he was incredulous. "Impossible! How could that be possible?! Yin Yuerong only has me left! She dares to not save me?!"
