Han Yunxi listened to Han Yuqi's words from the side, but wasn't surprised. Lady Xu had said the same thing to the bridal sedan chair on the day of her wedding. Moreover, her words were even uglier and more arrogant.
She'd said that she, Han Yunxi, wouldn't be a phoenix even if she flew to a branch. A lowly girl would always be a lowly girl.
She'd said that she, Han Yunxi, was marrying the Duke of Qin like a toad wanting to eat emu meat.
If it was anyone else, they'd have slammed their heads against the wall and died long ago. Only her skin was three feet thick enough to get on the bridal sedan chair.
Although it was Grand Concubine Yi who told the wedding nanny to go the wrong way that day, Lady Xu had her own ways as well. Whether it was her wedding dress, makeup, or jewelry, everything had been tampered with. She'd even docked her dowry and made her bring a chest full of her little sister's old clothes.
Han Yunxi knew all of this. Today, she was avenging little Yi 'er and herself!
Seeing Han Yuqi stop moving, Han Yunxi ordered Cold, "Someone come, drag the eldest young master out and beat him viciously!"
Although she'd only brought little Chen Xiang with her, none of the Han Family's pageboys dared to slight her. They quickly went to prepare and drag Han Yuqi out.
"Let me go … let me go!"
"Qin Wangfei, I'm begging you, spare me! Spare me! "
"I won't dare again, I won't dare again …"
… …
No matter how Han Yuqi begged, Han Yunxi remained indifferent. Since she'd made a big fuss today, she might as well make a bigger one. Everyone in the Han Family would see clearly that a married daughter like her wasn't to be trifled with.
As soon as Han Yuqi was taken out, the people outside all parted to form a path, surrounding the left and right sides.
How could Han Yuqi rest peacefully on the bench? He wanted to get off immediately, but Han Yunxi said coldly, "Tie him to the bench for me! Be taut! "
"Yes … yes …" the pageboy's teeth were chattering, but he had no choice but to obey.
Madam Xu chased after them. She had to lean on the wall to steady herself. She didn't even dare to look at her son. She glared at Han Yunxi with hatred in her eyes. She couldn't wait for this woman to die!
Han Yunxi, you better not fall into this madam's hands one day. Otherwise, this madam will definitely tear you to pieces!
Very quickly, Han Yu Qi was tied tightly to the stool. Two manservants, one on the left and one on the right, held large boards.
"Fifty times, not one less! Beat him! "Han Yunxi ordered coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, "Pah!" A plank was struck down. Just by hearing the sound, one could tell that he didn't use much strength.
"Stop!" Han Yunxi coldly looked at the manservant. "What, are you hungry? Why don't I let you eat a few paddles as well? "
The manservant was frightened. Without waiting for Han Yunxi to say anything, he immediately slapped Han Yu Qi's butt with the board. "Pa!" It was a resounding slap!
At the same time, Han Yu Qi also cried out, "Ah …"
Learning from the previous example, the other manservant didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately followed up with a plank.
"Ah …" Han Yu Qi's cries were incomparably miserable.
Fifty paddles, one after another. Every hit was very heavy. Seeing this, everyone's hearts also pounded heavily. Madam Xu covered her mouth and supported herself against the wall. She didn't dare to look.
In the quiet courtyard, other than the sound of the paddles, there was only Han Yu Qi's miserable cries. It really was like a pig being slaughtered.
Finally, the fifty paddles were all finished. The two manservants' hands were numb. Han Yu Qi's butt was simply a bloody mess. It was a shocking sight. He had already fainted.
Madam Xu rushed over. Seeing this, she was so distressed that she almost fainted. She hurriedly shouted, "Doctor, someone come, call a doctor!"
How could she still care about the storeroom key in Han Yunxi's hand? She ordered people to send the eldest young master back to his room while she urged the doctor. Her entire person seemed to have gone crazy.
Seeing this, all the servants were dumbfounded. They had never seen Madam Xu so out of her wits.
After Madam Xu and the eldest young master left, Han Yunxi looked at the surrounding crowd. With this look, everyone immediately lowered their heads and consciously retreated.
Third Yiniang and Second Miss were hiding behind a big tree. They didn't show themselves nor did they leave …
Third Yiniang and her daughter heard that Han Yunxi had the storeroom key in her hand and rushed over. Who knew that they would run into the scene of Han Yunxi severely punishing the eldest young master.
Madam Xu relied on her maternal family's power to act tyrannically for so many years. Someone should have come out long ago to teach her a lesson. However, they never thought that it would be Han Yunxi who would come out.
One had to know that even though Han Yunxi was a legitimate eldest miss, she had always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble. She was a person who tolerated and retreated silently. Moreover, even if she became Qin Wangfei, she would only be a decoration.
Second Miss Han Ruoxue looked at Han Yunxi's face from afar and a trace of jealousy flashed through her eyes. She said in a low voice, "Mother, her face has really recovered!"
Han Ruoxue was the Han family's most beautiful daughter. However, now that the poisonous scar on Han Yunxi's face was gone, her face directly surpassed Han Ruoxue's. On the day of the wedding, many people in the Han family had seen Han Yunxi's beauty and the servants had been talking about it for a long time. Han Ruoxue had never seen it, so she didn't believe it.
However, now that she saw the real person, even she had to admit it.
"The rumors outside say that she knows how to detoxify and saved the young general. In my opinion, it might be true." Madam Li said faintly with a shadow in her eyes.
If it wasn't true, why would the Supreme Court's Official Ouyang be so afraid of her? What right did she have to arrogantly return to her maternal family with the identity of a wangfei?
When these words came out, Han Ruoxue's expression also became complicated. However, she quickly recovered and smiled. "Mother, do you think she came back to fight for the storeroom?"
Madam Li snorted. "She's a married daughter. Even if she becomes the empress, she still doesn't have the right."
Although Madam Li gave birth to a daughter, she spent a lot of effort to raise her. When it came to medical skills, she was considered the best in the Han family's generation.
She had always been looking for a good candidate for her daughter to marry into the family. This way, Han Ruoxue would have the right to inherit the position of head of the household.
"Then why is the storeroom key in her hands? I'm sure she stole it from Father's hands. She has this thought! "Han Ruoxue said hatefully.
Madam Li's eyes flashed with a complicated light. She looked at Han Yunxi for a long time before saying, "Xue 'er, you haven't visited Miss Mu in a long time, right?"
Han Ruoxue nodded. Although Han Ruoxue and Mu Liuyue's relationship wasn't as close as Mu Liuyue and Princess Changping's, they could still be considered good sisters. Han Ruoxue would always give Mu Liuyue some rare trinkets, making Mu Liuyue very happy every time.
Of course, this was all taught to her by Madam Li. Madam Li said that getting close to Mu Liuyue was the same as getting close to Princess Changping. With Princess Changping as her backing, she was much stronger than Madam Xu, the Minister of Personnel.
Ever since Han Yunxi married into the Duke of Qin's household, Han Ruoxue didn't dare to look for Mu Liuyue. She was afraid that if Mu Liuyue got angry, she'd be implicated. After all, she was Han Yunxi's younger sister.
"Regarding the matter of the general's household and the crown prince's strange illness, I think you should go check on Mu Liuyue," Madam Li said lightly.
"I'll do my best," Han Ruoxue replied seriously. Seeing that her mother was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped her. "Mother, are we just going to let her go like this? Even if Father gave her the key, it's still unreasonable. After all, she's married off. Let's go get it back."
Madam Li stopped, her cold gaze slowly moving from Han Ruoxue's hand to Han Ruoxue's face.
Seeing this, Han Ruoxue resentfully let go, knowing that her mother was angry.
"Madam Xu isn't worried, so why are you? Even if someone wants to take revenge, it shouldn't be us. "Madam Li's tone was cold and strict.
Ever since she was young, her mother had always been this cold. Han Ruoxue was already used to it. She lowered her head. "Yes, daughter understands."
Madam Xu's backing was strong, and this time, Han Yunxi beat up Han Yuqi for Han Yunyi. With Madam Xu's personality, how could she let the seventh branch off so easily? How could she not go against Han Yunxi?
If Seventh Madam Helian Zuixiang was said to be patient, then Madam Li was the most low-key person. She was always sober and leisurely as a bystander, waiting for the fisherman to reap the benefits.
Madam Li and her daughter left silently. Han Yunxi had already helped Seventh Madam into the room. Yi 'er was still unconscious. Han Yunxi touched his forehead to make sure that he didn't have a fever because of the wound infection. Only then did she relax.
"Qin Wangfei, today … today, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known …"
Seventh Madam looked at her son lying quietly on the bed, then looked at Han Yunxi. She was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Han Yunxi looked at Seventh Madam and felt helpless. How could such a weak and patient mother protect Yi 'er? She was afraid that this child would be the one to protect his mother.
This time, she showed the storehouse key and taught Han Yuqi a lesson. Madam Xu wouldn't dare to touch the mother and daughter, at least for a short period of time. However, that was only temporary and not a long-term plan.
The Han family's new head must be supported as soon as possible. Even if Yi 'er was young, with the status of head of the family, those people wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
Unfortunately, she had a bet with Mu Liuyue first and didn't have time to fight a battle of wits and courage with these people. If it was Han Congan's idea, Han Congan was already locked up. Madam Xu and Madam Li probably wouldn't agree.
Han Yunxi indicated that Seventh Madam didn't need to say more and sat down first. She pondered for a moment and said, "Little Chen Xiang, stay here and take care of Master Gu."
"Yes, Mistress, don't worry. With this servant here, I definitely won't let anyone bully Seventh Young Master!" Little Chen Xiang immediately accepted the order. This girl was getting smarter.
Hearing this, Seventh Madam was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to kneel in thanks. "Many thanks, Princess Consort. Yi 'er is able to receive Princess Consort's care. It's his good fortune from three lifetimes!"
Han Yunxi personally supported her and earnestly said, "Seventh Madam, take good care of Yi 'er. Sometimes … when it's time to be tough, you have to be tough. That Madam Xu isn't the official wife. Although Han Yuqi is the eldest young master, he's also a concubine's son like Yi' er. There's nothing to be afraid of. In the future, little Chen Xiang will live here. If there's anything, just tell her, understand? "
Seventh Madam was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She nodded repeatedly, her tears almost falling down in bunches.
Han Yunxi gave little Chen Xiang a few more instructions before leaving. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, she still hadn't finished today's business!
The manservant who had been guarding the door was still waiting outside the courtyard, not daring to leave. Seeing Han Yunxi come out, he hurriedly came forward to flatter her. "Princess Consort, this humble one has been waiting for you."
This manservant could be considered quick-witted. Han Yunxi nodded. "Lead the way."
This time, she had indeed come for the storehouse. However, she didn't want to obtain the things in the storehouse. Instead, she wanted to check if the storehouse had the three snake poisons she was looking for.
Under the manservant's guidance, Han Yunxi quickly arrived at the Han family's storehouse.
