Hmph... It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!
As long as Xia Yuhan is willing to speak up and prove that the death of the maid Xue'er has nothing to do with her, that will be enough!
As long as she follows Xia Yuhan's words before clearing herself of the suspicion regarding Xue'er's death, that will suffice!
As for the future, we'll deal with that later!
"Liu Xiang will remember her sister's words! I hope sister won't go back on her promise!"
So her name is Sun Liuxiang! Hehe...
With Sun Liuxiang's assurance, Xia Yuhan coldly glanced over at Sun Liuxiang and then directly ignored them, slamming the door to her room shut!
Sun Liuxiang, do you think I, Xia Yuhan, don't know your little schemes? Do you think once you've boarded my ship, you can still get off?
Hmph!
If you, Sun Liuxiang, behave and listen, maybe in three months I, Xia Yuhan, will definitely find you a good family to settle down with. If not, then I, Xia Yuhan, will make you understand the consequences of angering me!
After closing the door, Second Madam stared blankly at the cold and chilling Xia Yuhan. For some reason, after seeing this scene, Second Madam felt a bit dazed: Is this still her Yu Han? After going through such an ordeal, she has completely changed! At this moment, her Yu Han must be thinking about revenge, right?
But alas...
As a mere woman, how can she help?
With someone like General Xia, who values reputation more than life itself, if he returns and insists on driving them out of Xia Manor, how will they live from now on?
"Mother, Daylight was startled; you should rest early. We don't know what awaits us tomorrow! Yu Han will go bury Xue'er now."
"Yu Han, Xue'er has been our maid for many years; she has worked hard and suffered alongside us. Here are some jewelry pieces; take them to give Xue'er a proper burial!"
Second Madam said softly, wiping her tears alone. Not wanting to go against her wishes, Xia Yuhan placed Xue'er's body on her bed, cleaned her up, and changed her into fresh clothes.
“Xue'er, if it weren't for my mother's kindness, you would probably never find peace even in death! When you get there, make sure to be reborn into a good family! In your next life, don't ever betray your master or your loved ones again…”
Xia Yuhan finished everything in a hurry, and before she knew it, fatigue swept over her, slowly closing her heavy eyelids…
Just as Xia Yuhan closed her eyes, a shadow quietly slipped through the window; it was a man with his face covered.
After entering, the man did not engage in any acts of murder or theft but instead stared intently at Xia Yuhan, who was sleeping with her head on the table…
At that moment, a beam of moonlight poured through the window and illuminated the sleeping Xia Yuhan…
Under the moonlight, Xia Yuhan shed her fierce demeanor; her sleeping posture was serene, and her stunning features revealed an air of dignity and purity.
Perhaps having just wiped down Xue'er, Xia Yuhan felt hot, with only a few pieces of clothing left on. Her arms, as smooth as jade, and shoulders radiating a holy glow added a hint of allure and charm, exuding a different kind of temptation.
He found himself unable to look away for quite some time!
Realizing this, the man shook off his thoughts and focused his attention on the lifeless Xue'er lying on the bed, revealing a trace of coldness deep in his eyes.
Having been asleep with her head on the table, Xia Yuhan likely felt a bit chilly from her exposed shoulders and instinctively moved her body to hide beneath her clothes in search of warmth.
Looking at her delicate and peaceful sleeping posture, who could have imagined that this was the same Madam of Xia Manor, who could single-handedly take down anyone in Daylight, and had dealt with Sun Liuxiang so thoroughly at night?
Seeing Xia Yuhan stir and put on her clothes obediently made the man feel somewhat at ease: Woman, just try doing that outside!
Thinking this, a wicked smile crept onto his lips beneath the mask…
However, when he saw the window open again and a White-Haired Old Man poke his head out, the man's smile began to twitch.
Without hesitation, he quickly darted out through another window in the room.
The old man seemed to have anticipated who the cloaked figure was and chuckled heartily to himself!
However, the sleeping Xia Yuhan was completely unaware. If she had known, she would have definitely set up Hidden Weapons in the room next time, beating the other party until they were half dead before she would relent!
The night quickly passed!
When Xia Yuhan suddenly woke up, she quickly washed up and got busy with the burial arrangements for Xue'er. While running errands, she complained, "Really, with so many servants in Xia Manor, hardly anyone listens to me! But my luck isn't too bad; I finally found someone to help. Otherwise, I would be exhausted..."
By the time Xia Yuhan finished with Xue'er's funeral arrangements, it was already noon!
Guessing that Second Madam must still be hungry, she stopped by a Steamed Bun Shop on her way back to buy a few buns for Second Madam.
However, as soon as she stepped through the main gate of Xia Manor, she felt an inexplicable eeriness; it was gloomy and oppressive, as if there was a pressure making it hard for her to breathe...
Especially when she saw the butler of Xia Manor walking towards her, that bad premonition was confirmed!
General Xia had returned!
"Second Sister, the General wants you to go to the Main House!"
Xia Yuhan had no words; just looking at the butler's gloating expression made it clear that it was not good news!
General Xia had really come back?
And he returned so quickly?
Everything was happening too fast!
So it turned out that what Xue'er said was true! Ever since Xue'er died, she thought it was just a trick by Xue'er's new master to deceive her, Xia Yuhan! But she never expected that General Xia would actually return!
Then the person who plotted against her must have an even more complicated identity?
Because of this, Xia Yuhan hesitated! The butler of Xia Manor thought that this was because Xia Yuhan was scared; there was a mocking look in his eyes: You were so arrogant yesterday; let's see how you turn things around today! You’ve made such a mess of Xia Manor and still expect to stay here safely? Dream on!
Xia Yuhan noticed the butler's expression, but she wasn't in the mood to pay attention to it right now; she would let him enjoy himself for the time being.
In the future, when she had time and opportunity, she would slowly deal with him!
For now, she needed to see General Xia first!
...
Before entering the Main House, Xia Yuhan felt a heavy and somber atmosphere inside. Once she stepped in, she saw Second Madam standing in the center with her head down, crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom.
On either side sat Madam, who was watching coldly, the smug Xia Wan'er, and...
And there was General Xia sitting right in the middle of the room!
At a glance, General Xia sat upright, exuding an imposing presence with sharp eyes and a face full of vigor. Although he was already a father of two children, it did not diminish the heroic spirit that lingered between his brows...
She didn't expect that this body’s father would be so mighty and handsome!
As she approached and met General Xia's inscrutable gaze, her respect for him grew even more.
