Originally, everyone was terrified and trembling at Madam's angry reprimand. Now, seeing Madam's furious expression in person, they were even more frightened and hurriedly took Xia Wan'er away in a fluster.
Xia Wan'er was a precious figure in Xia Manor; she had never suffered such humiliation in front of others.
This time, it was someone who had bullied her for over ten years, a scoundrel! She had been bullied multiple times! How could she swallow this anger?
She initially thought about taking revenge and ordering someone to beat her to death on the spot, but upon seeing Madam glare at her, she dared not linger any longer. She reluctantly swallowed her anger and left in frustration!
Xia Yuhan, just wait; one day I, Xia Wan'er, will make you pay!
If Xia Yuhan could hear the endless curses that Xia Wan'er directed at her in her heart, she wouldn't be angry at all. Instead, she would find it quite amusing to let Xia Wan'er curse all by herself. Because she knew that the more one hates another, the more one can destroy oneself.
Thus, she didn't care at all about Xia Wan'er's curses.
Moreover, she never intended to stoop so low as to throw filth. If it weren't for Xia Wan'er's excessively irritating words, including insults directed at the mother of this body’s owner, Xia Yuhan would never have been so merciless!
After Xia Wan'er was taken away, there was one less person causing a commotion, and soon the venue fell into silence. The temperature in the entire space seemed to drop to zero, freezing all breath and making everyone feel suffocated.
The bewildered Second Madam looked horrified at Madam and then at Xia Yuhan. Thinking back to the earlier chaotic scene, she was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word and took a long time to regain her composure.
Due to being oppressed too many times in the past, Second Madam's first reaction was to repeatedly apologize humbly: "M-Madam, Yu Han... she absolutely didn't mean it; this has nothing to do with Yu Han. I Ruxin beg you to spare Yu Han; you can handle it however you like. Yu Han just acted out of ignorance..."
However, truth be told, Second Madam was actually very pleased inside. She never expected that her daughter was not as weak and incapable as herself and could stand up against others. Of course, she also never anticipated that her daughter would possess such spirit!
Although she had offended Madam, striking back at Xia Wan'er felt like a relief. Now that she saw her daughter achieve this transformation, she would willingly die in place of Yu Han!
Despite this, Second Madam's heart could never lighten up, as she knew that relying solely on the strength of her and her daughter was not enough to establish themselves in Xia Manor.
Madam did not wait for Second Madam to finish and sneered sideways, "Hmph! Dream on. After causing such disgrace to the family, you still want me to spare you? Or do you still have the face to enter this household? Don't you feel embarrassed? You want to drag us down with you? Dragging the entire Xia Manor into your disgrace?"
Second Madam was taken aback by Madam's words. Upon reflection, it was indeed true. Weak as she was, she suddenly panicked and did not know what to do. In a moment of despair, she cried out, "Madam, Yu Han is innocent; she has been framed. If punishment is necessary, then punish me instead. I, Ruxin, am willing to give my life for hers! Please spare Yu Han a chance at life."
Madam continued to sneer disdainfully, her thick lips curling slightly upward, revealing a hint of contempt. "These days, I've seen too many scoundrels; it's truly unfortunate! Especially with such a pair of scoundrel mother and daughter in my household. I really don't know what my husband, Zhongguo, thinks."
"How about this? I kindly offer you two options. Ruxin, you know that my husband Zhongguo values the reputation of Xia Manor among the people; he will absolutely not allow any disgrace to the family name! So if you want to live, you can leave on your own! If you wish to stay in Xia Manor, then according to the will of the capital's citizens, go hang yourself at Chastity Arch to atone for the Xia family's reputation over the years!"
Xia Yuhan did not expect Madam's methods to be so ruthless; she had complete confidence in using others' hands to effortlessly eliminate both her and her mother. From the moment she learned they were returning to Xia Manor, she had already devised a strategy and quietly set up this trap for them.
However, if things were truly to go according to her wishes, then she would not be Xia Yuhan!
"Madam, Xia Manor is our home; we have the right to decide whether to stay or leave without anyone else meddling in our affairs!"
"You are outrageous! Truly an ignorant and barbaric girl!" Madam suddenly shouted again, startling the servant beside her who nearly dropped the ceramic cup he had just picked up. Terrified, he knelt down repeatedly begging for mercy.
Madam seemed not to notice and continued drinking tea calmly, her disdainful gaze fixed on Xia Yuhan and her mother. After scolding them, she suddenly stood up with the help of a maid and walked toward Xia Yuhan with a cold expression.
At first, Xia Yuhan did not think Madam was that terrifying. However, after witnessing that scene just now, she instantly felt that this woman was most frightening when devoid of any expression; she was the hardest to deal with! Even in anger, maintaining a calm demeanor gave her an unsettling feeling—at least she did not know what Madam intended to do at that moment. Thinking of this made Xia Yuhan feel a bit uneasy.
Second Madam's face turned pale with fear; after all these years of interacting with Madam, she had never seen such an icy and unpredictable expression from her. She suddenly felt a suffocating pressure in her chest that made her anxious. "M-Madam..."
On the opposite side, beneath the thick layers of rouge and powder, there remained a cold face, and the expression of disgust ultimately fell on Second Madam's face.
This left Second Madam completely flustered: "Madam, I beg you..."
But what answered her was only the desperate sound of a slap!
This sudden slap stung not only Second Madam's face but also Xia Yuhan's heart. She never expected Madam to completely disregard Second Madam in front of so many servants of Xia Manor. No matter how much Second Madam was bullied, she was still half a master to those servants!
"Ruxin, you are truly shameless! Your own mistress has done something so disgraceful, and you still dare to plead for mercy here? Do you think I would spare you? Don't forget that you married into Xia Manor to bring trouble to the loyal nation. If it weren't for your beauty captivating the loyal nation, where would you find a place in this Xia Manor?"
Xia Yuhan understood why Madam harbored such hatred and animosity towards Second Madam despite being able to defeat her easily; it was because General Xia treated Second Madam well, and like Xia Yuhan, Second Madam possessed extraordinary beauty...
It turned out that what Madam hated was that Second Madam had taken away the joy from her boudoir...
Ha ha... She managed the entire Xia Manor but couldn't even have the man she loved most.
Madam, you deserve it!
