Cang Yile felt restless and did not want to continue entangling with the old man. With a flash of his figure, he quickly disappeared into the night.
"Hey... you..." The old man grunted, ignoring his troublesome disciple, and muttered to himself, "It's fine that he left. I can take a look at my wife alone, hehe!"
It wasn't that Cang Yile disrespected his master; it was just that he often joked around with him. Ever since he was young, Cang Yile had been "played" by the old man in this way, and he had been "ordered" not to be so restrained! Otherwise, for every time he was restrained, he would have to swing his sword ten thousand times!
There was no helping it; this old man named Fuyazi had such a peculiar personality...
Thus, the master and disciple had "happily" coexisted for over a decade...
And so, Fuyazi continued to lurk alone, observing the movements of Xia Manor.
...
At this moment inside the house.
"Yu Han, can we not offend them anymore in the future? After all, we still have a long time to spend in Xia Manor..."
"Mother, wake up! Even if we don't offend them, they will still bully us. If they see us as easy targets, they might even bully us more severely! Here in Xia Manor, no one can stand up for us; the only ones who can protect us are ourselves!"
Since the people of Xia Manor did not provide her with a place to settle down, she naturally would not allow them to bully her! One day, she would collect what they owed her with interest!
What puzzled Xia Yuhan was why those people outside had suffered losses but did not leave in disgrace?
Did they have another purpose for coming here? Otherwise, they wouldn't be causing such a ruckus in the dead of night!
As Xia Yuhan was lost in thought, a guard's voice came from outside, loud enough for her to hear clearly inside the room: “Miss Sun, the person has been brought here!”
“Hmph! Get out!” If it weren't for the guard's timely report, she would have been so furious that she might have completely forgotten her true purpose for coming this time. “Hmph, Xia Yuhan, just wait! I will let you see the consequences of mingling with the Adulterer!”
“Xia Yuhan, how dare you oppose me! Let's see how long you can keep smiling!”
Upon hearing the guard's voice, Xia Yuhan suddenly felt an ominous premonition rising in her heart.
What has been brought here?
Before she could think further, the door to her chamber was kicked open by a strong guard, and Xia Yuhan watched in shock as the guard placed a body wrapped in mourning clothes inside their room...
Before Xia Yuhan could voice her questions, the guard pulled back the mourning clothes covering the body...
At that moment, everyone present stared wide-eyed at the corpse.
Although Xia Yuhan did not show any extra expression upon seeing the body, a storm was raging in her heart.
On the contrary, Second Madam was not as composed; upon seeing the body that had been brought in, she staggered back in shock, even knocking over a screen in the room.
“Xue... Xue'er, how could this happen? How could she die like this?”
By the dim candlelight, Xia Yuhan saw that Xue'er was completely bare, her body covered in marks from whips, with dark purple bruises particularly prominent.
There was not a single intact spot on Xue'er's skin; bright red bloodstains followed the whip marks, staining her delicate form.
This scene left everyone inside and outside the room horrified.
From the coagulation of the bloodstains, it appeared that Xue'er had died less than an hour ago...
Xia Yuhan speculated in her heart.
Who could have such a deep grudge against Xue'er? Killing her was not enough; they had to use such cruel methods to torture Xue'er to death?
With Xue'er's death, some doubts in Xia Yuhan's heart were resolved in that instant. If Xia Yuhan's guess was correct, the one who killed Xue'er should be her latest master.
Xue'er's master had informed her of General Xia's secret return, intending to drive Xia Yuhan out of Xia Manor. However, instead of fleeing, Xia Yuhan stayed in Xia Manor after a struggle!
But Xue'er's master found her actions unsatisfactory, so she discarded Xue'er as a pawn...
Was this using Xue'er's death to warn her, Xia Yuhan?
After pondering for a moment, the annoying voice of Miss Sun interrupted her thoughts! "Xia Yuhan, did you see that? This is your future! I can't help but sigh at the saying: 'Like master, like servant!' Xia Yuhan, I want to see how you turn things around. Don't think that just because you have the Azure Dragon Kingdom's Right Chancellor backing you, you can live comfortably in Xia Manor! Let me tell you, this is just the beginning!"
"And do you really think that the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, the male god of the Azure Dragon Kingdom—Jiang Tingyu—would be enchanted by your beauty? Do you really think you're a nine-tailed fox?"
The maid beside her echoed, "Exactly! You should take a look in the mirror. You're not even as charming as a dull fox, yet you want to seduce our male god of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!"
Xia Yuhan felt very displeased at that moment. Some people just didn't know when to back off and insisted on provoking her when she was already in a bad mood!
What were they so proud of? Did they think that a maid, an outsider, could scare her? That was underestimating Xia Yuhan too much!
So what if she was a concubine's daughter? So what if her mother was a concubine? Could she not be legitimized?
To make her, Xia Yuhan, obediently commit suicide after witnessing the tragic death of her maid, or to leave Xia Manor, is simply impossible!
There is only one reason: the timid Xia Yuhan from before is dead! She is a completely new Xia Yuhan! She will absolutely not be led around by anyone!
Furthermore, Miss Sun, as an outsider, what right do you have to speak to her, Xia Yuhan, in such an arrogant manner?
"Are you done making a scene?" Xia Yuhan, who had remained calm until now, suddenly opened her sharp eyes and stared fiercely at the people outside. "Sister Sun, have you considered that Yu Han's maid went missing because you were the one who brought her here? If this matter is pursued, do you think you can escape responsibility?"
"No... it's impossible! That won't happen!" Miss Sun was initially shocked, but upon seeing Xia Yuhan's proud demeanor, she began to curse again. "Xia Yuhan, you scoundrel! You dare to threaten me!"
"Haha! Did I? I have never said such things! Sister, please conduct yourself with dignity!"
Xia Yuhan deliberately raised her voice on the words "conduct yourself with dignity," making it clear that this was a direct provocation towards Sun Mansion and Miss Sun!
The loss of purity and ruined reputation for someone who has always prided herself on her noble status and prestigious family background—there is nothing more ironic than this!
Miss Sun, the scoundrel you keep calling me, yet now in the eyes of the servants, you are even less than a scoundrel! Haha!
