Han Yunxi, that damned girl, actually used her own words to return the favor. Madam Xu was so angry that her chest felt stifled. The taste of blood immediately rose to her throat. If she hadn't held it in, she probably would've spat out a mouthful of blood!
But!
This shameless slut, did she really think she could use the empress dowager's name to strut around just because she saved the crown prince?
She was too naïve!
Madam Xu's hands clenched into fists within her sleeves. Her long eyebrows reached her temples, and her eyes were fierce and fierce. She'd originally planned to wait until her son's injuries were better before asking Han Yunxi for the storehouse key as the eldest son. But now she couldn't care less!
There was no time like the present. She wanted the storehouse key now and kill Han Yunxi's arrogant limelight!
"Esteemed wangfei is right. This commoner was lacking in manners," Madam Xu smiled insincerely and bowed slightly.
"It's fine. It'll be fine as long as you change." Han Yunxi was very confident and didn't feel guilty at all.
"If Seventh Young Master doesn't have anything else, then I won't go in. Esteemed wangfei, you came just in time. I was just thinking of a day to pay you a visit. Why don't you come to this commoner's place for a cup of tea? "Madam Xu added.
At these words, Han Yunxi knew what was going on. Madam Xu wanted the storehouse key!
Little Chen Xiang had been full of confidence in persuading Seventh Madame these past few days. How would she know Seventh Madame's worries? But Han Yunxi understood.
She was a married daughter. Even if her status was noble, according to the customs of the world, she'd be gossiped about if she frequently returned to her maternal home, let alone meddling in her family's affairs.
After all, Tianning Country's customs could be considered civilized. In many places, once a daughter married out, she could only return to her maternal home after being divorced.
Thus, if Madam Xu allied with a few other concubines to ask for the storehouse key in her hands, she really would have to give it to them.
However, since Han Yunxi dared to come, she must have a countermeasure. She wasn't afraid!
"Is there something you can't talk about here?" Han Yunxi feigned ignorance as she asked curiously.
"This matter can be big or small. Now that I'm the one in charge of the Han family, it's more appropriate to talk about it in my room."
As Madam Xu spoke, she was about to leave when she turned around and glanced disdainfully at Han Yunyi. She shouted towards the courtyard, "Seventh Madam, why don't you come along?"
Seventh Concubine's heart skipped a beat. She knew that something bad was about to happen, but she had no choice but to follow along. Before she left, she instructed Yi 'er, "You and Sister Chen Xiang stay in the courtyard. Don't run around, understand?"
Han Yunyi nodded obediently as he stole glances at Han Yunxi's retreating form. His dark eyes were filled with reluctance as if he'd never see this big sister of his ever again.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around and said, "Little Yi 'er, come here. Come with me."
A child was a child. Han Yunyi immediately broke into a grin, unable to hide his emotions. Just as he was about to run over, Seventh Concubine said, "Esteemed Wangfei, it's better for a child to …"
"It's not a big deal, it's fine to let him come! I like him. "Han Yunxi smiled and waved at Yi 'er.
A trace of worry flashed across Seventh Concubine's eyes. She wanted to say something but stopped. She originally wanted to wait for esteemed wangfei to come and talk to her about the storehouse key. Who knew that she would bump into Madam Xu the moment she arrived?
Seeing that his mother didn't stop him, Yi 'er was extremely excited and immediately ran over. However, this boy was still shy. He was clearly running towards Han Yunxi, but in the end, he grabbed his mother's hand.
Han Yunxi was amused and picked up Yi 'er. "Why are you so afraid of me? I saved you, I won't eat you! "
Yi 'er's little face reddened and he didn't speak.
At the side, Madam Xu glanced at him and her lips curled into a mocking smile. No matter how much Han Yunxi dotes on this boy, he won't have a share of the storehouse key!
Han Yunxi, just smile. I'm looking forward to your reaction later.
"Go, invite Third Concubine over as well. Tell her that there's something important and she'll definitely come!" Madam Xu instructed in a low voice.
On the way, Han Yunxi kept teasing Yi 'er. Although Yi' er was shy, he had a stubborn temper. No matter how Han Yunxi teased him, he didn't speak. Perhaps it was fate. Han Yunxi was exceptionally patient and didn't get angry.
"Hey, hey, hey, boy, do you know who I am? If you don't answer me, I'll punish you! "Han Yunxi warned.
Unfortunately, Han Yunyi just looked at her and blinked his big, adorable eyes without answering.
Han Yunxi thought for a moment and asked, "Boy, Big Sister plans to be your guardian and protect you. When you grow up, how do you plan to thank me?"
Unexpectedly, this time, Yi 'er actually pursed his lips and timidly said, "When I grow up, I … I'll protect you."
Han Yunxi didn't expect this and laughed happily. "You finally opened your mouth. Okay, Big Sister will remember. Here, pinky swear!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her pinky. Yi 'er blushed and smiled, stretching out his pinky as well.
Holding Yi 'er's pinky, Han Yunxi's heart was actually a little heavy. Little Yi' er, you have to grow up smoothly!
Other than Madam Tianxin's Orchid Residence, Madam Xu's Fallen Secluded Residence was the largest and had the best location in the residence.
Originally, this courtyard was worthy of its name, quiet and livable. Unfortunately, after Eldest Young Master Han Yuqi's renovations, it completely lost its original elegance and became luxurious and high-profile. Those who didn't know would think that they came to the wrong place.
Along the way, Madam Xu was looking forward to Han Yunxi's reaction when she asked for the storehouse key.
She had thought of all sorts of reasons. This time, if Han Yunxi didn't hand over the storehouse key, it wouldn't be so easy for her to leave the Han residence!
But who knew that when the group of people arrived at Fallen Secluded Residence, they saw Second Young Miss Han Ruoxue running out in a sorry state. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like she was running away.
What was going on?
Han Ruoxue turned around and saw Han Yunxi and the others. She was first stunned, then choked with sobs. "Madam Xu, Eldest Young Master is too much of a bully!"
"What happened?" Madam Xu asked with a frown.
Unexpectedly, before Han Ruoxue could complain, she heard a commotion from inside the door. Then, she saw a group of servants swarming out of the door like a swarm of bees. Many people were even pushed to the ground and rolled a few times.
"Madam, Madam, Eldest Young Master is angry again. Not only did he chase everyone out, he also smashed a lot of things and almost hurt Second Young Miss!"
"Madam, Eldest Young Master also smashed all of the medicine. Even the ointment you applied this morning was all gone. I couldn't persuade him no matter what."
… …
Hearing the servant's report, Madam Xu's face instantly darkened. Wasn't he fine when she left? How could this unfilial son change his face so quickly!
Wasn't it shameful to make such a scene in front of Han Yunxi and Seventh Madame?
The servant still wanted to speak, but Madam Xu coldly cut him off. "Enough, you useless things. None of you can serve a good person. No wonder Eldest Young Master chased you out! Get the hell out of here! "
The servants and servants didn't dare to speak. They all admitted that they were unlucky and retreated.
"Madam Xu, you invited me and my mother here. What does Eldest Young Master mean by this? Isn't he going too far? "Han Ruoxue said angrily.
Third Madam Li's background wasn't as good as Madam Xu's, but she was still from a large family. Her maternal family in Tianshui City in the north of Tianning was considered a decent family.
Although Madam Li was the daughter of a concubine, her dowry when she married into the family was not small. Moreover, she had always been generous and magnanimous, so she didn't have much direct conflict with Madam Xu. Madam Xu and Madam Li minded their own business and tolerated each other's children.
"Ruoxue, where's your mother? Is she still inside? "Madam Xu pretended to be concerned.
"My mother told me to come over first. She'll be right behind me. Fortunately, she didn't come with me. Otherwise, I can guarantee that Eldest Young Master would even dare to hurt my mother!" Han Ruoxue usually disliked Han Yuqi the most, so she had to seize this chance to complain.
"Aiya, it's his fault, his fault! Just take into account that his injuries are so serious and don't bicker with him, "Madam Xu comforted.
"Madam Xu, don't worry. I'm not that petty," Han Ruoxue said. As Han Ruoxue spoke, she pretended to look up carelessly and saw Han Yunxi and the rest.
"Yunxi! Isn't this Big Sis Yunxi? " Han Ruoxue cried out in pleasant surprise. She pretended to grumble as she glared at Seventh Madame and stomped her foot. Her acting was very real. "Seventh Madame, when did Big Sis Yunxi come? You didn't even tell me!"
Han Yunxi put on a false smile as she thought to herself, What a smooth and slick Second Young Miss. She's on good terms with all the other branches, so why didn't she get along with me back then?
After being an older sister for so many years, this was the first time she'd heard her call her 'Big Sis Yunxi'.
When she, the eldest daughter of the first wife, lost power, Han Ruoxue, as the second young miss, was the boss of the sisters. She'd secretly instigated the other younger sisters to make things difficult for her. Don't think I don't know just because you're hiding behind the scenes!
Han Ruoxue carefully examined Han Yunxi's face, excitement written all over her face. "Big Sis Yunxi, your face's really healed. It's so beautiful, so I …"
But before she could finish, Han Yunxi cut her off Cold. "Second Young Miss, this wangfei isn't familiar with you, is she?"
Urk … Han Ruoxue's expression immediately turned stiff, but she quickly recovered. "Big Sis Yunxi just loves to joke."
Unfortunately, Han Yunxi wasn't planning to give her any face. Cold again, she said, "This wangfei isn't joking."
At these words, the atmosphere turned chilly. Han Ruoxue's eyes flashed with hatred as she thought to herself, Han Yunxi, this shameless thing. She caused father to go to prison, stole the storehouse key, and now she dares to come strutting around at the Han Estate. Does she think no one knows about her scandalous deeds?
She'd endure it. She'd wait and see how Lady Xu would take back the storehouse key and deal with her!
Lady Xu must have called everyone here for the sake of the storehouse key. Thinking up to here, Han Ruoxue suppressed her anger and smiled faintly. She purposely gave Han Yunxi a grand bow. "This commoner girl Han Ruoxue greets esteemed wangfei. Long live esteemed wangfei!"
Han Yunxi was too lazy to spare her a glance. Cold, she said, "Dispense with the formalities."
At this moment, an angry roar came from the courtyard. "Where's that shameless slut? Does she still dare to come? This young master sees her as a thief. She stole my family's things and still dares to come strutting around! "
"This young master would like to see how long that slut can keep up her arrogance!"
"If you know what's good for you, then hurry up and return the thing. Otherwise, this young master will definitely make her regret it!"
… …
These curses didn't mention any names, but they all hinted at Han Yunxi. It was obvious that the young master inside knew Han Yunxi had come and was cursing Han Yunxi for taking the storehouse key!
Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes. Of course she wouldn't be so stupid as to argue with Han Yuqi in such a provocation. She'd confess without being pressed and treat herself as a thief.
If Han Yuqi wanted the storehouse key, he could forget about it in his next life!
