Due to the noise disturbing the backyard, many people in Xia Manor were dispatched to "defend" Xia Manor.
For a moment, only General Xia, Xia Yuhan, Madam, and Sun Liuxiang remained in the courtyard.
"Yu Han, when did you get to know Lord Jiang?" Perhaps because she had climbed such an unattainable peak, General Xia's tone towards her softened considerably.
Xia Yuhan felt a chill in her heart; indeed, the only one who cared for her in this Xia Manor was Second Madam: "Daddy, Yu Han doesn't want to."
Turning around, she saw Sun Liuxiang being left out to the side, and a trace of coldness flashed in Xia Yuhan's eyes!
Since it was inconvenient to suppress Madam with outsiders present, why not do so when no one was around?
"Daddy, Yu Han can really prove that Madam knew about Daddy's return because there is another witness besides the deceased Xue'er. This is an urgent update."
"Who is it?" General Xia's voice instantly turned cold and solemn.
"Sister Sun also knows about this!" Xia Yuhan said while secretly signaling Sun Liuxiang with her eyes. "At that time, my mother and I were about to return to Xia Manor when Xue'er suddenly revealed the news that Daddy was coming back to seek justice and explained everything clearly to Yu Han and my mother. If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother. Furthermore, after we returned home, Sister Sun accidentally bumped into the distraught maid Xue'er and pressed her for details; that's how Sister Sun also learned about Daddy's return."
General Xia's face darkened as he turned to Second Madam, his voice filled with anger: "Ruxin, is this true?"
Second Madam seemed to have been frightened by the earlier shocking situation; her face was still pale: "Yes, General, Yu Han is right. At that time, I was afraid that the General would beat Yu Han to death upon his return, so I suggested temporarily leaving Xia Manor to avoid trouble. However, Yu Han, if we leave Xia Manor, it would confirm the accusation of being indiscreet with men. That’s why I gathered my courage to step into Xia Manor."
"Who would have thought that as soon as we entered the door, Madam was waiting for me and Yu Han inside, forcing us out or demanding that Yu Han take her own life. General, we certainly made mistakes; we wronged Xia Manor and damaged its reputation in the capital. But only you have the authority to drive me and Yu Han away."
Although Second Madam was unsure whether Sun Liuxiang knew about this matter, she did not want to stand up for her and chose not to mention Sun Liuxiang at all.
Madam was nearly driven mad by this scene: "Nonsense! Ruxin, from beginning to end I never forced you to do anything; I merely suggested what you should do! Don't casually link this matter with the General's return! If the General doesn't believe it, he can call any servant from Xia Manor to confront us..."
"Enough! Shut up! Don't say another word! Is there not enough people who know? Do you want things to get even more chaotic? Am I dead? Yu Han, continue!"
General Xia impatiently interrupted Madam's words; fortunately, these family scandals had not been overheard by outsiders!
Xia Yuhan looked at General Xia's increasingly dark face and felt even more pleased inside; everything was under her control.
As for Sun Liuxiang, as long as she wasn't pushed too hard, this person was not to be feared. Xia Yuhan had already figured out her temperament very well.
“Daddy, there are no secrets that can’t be uncovered. The informed Xue'er and Sister Sun have already been found out by that person! To prevent Daddy's secret from spreading to more people, and to avoid being caught with evidence, Xue'er will act tonight and create the illusion that she was brutally trampled to death by a villain.”
“Daddy, think about it. If something happens to Xue'er at this time, others will definitely not suspect them; instead, they will blame me, Xia Yuhan, and do so with even more joy and malice!”
“So who could this person be? Daddy, think again. Who would be the first to know if someone died in Xia Manor? It certainly wouldn’t be the guests remaining in Xia Manor! But why is Sister Sun the first one to discover Xue'er’s body?”
“Naturally, someone deliberately guided Sister Sun to find Xue'er and then came to Yu Han's door to 'humiliate' Yu Han. In that case, logically speaking, Yu Han would mistakenly believe that Sister Sun was the villain who caused her to lose her virtue! Naturally, Yu Han would see Sister Sun as her greatest enemy for life!”
“This plan kills two birds with one stone; it eliminates the informed Xue'er while using another's hand to remove a threat. On the surface, although this matter was done seamlessly, there were still flaws!”
“That person did not expect that Yu Han would not only not be angered by Sister Sun's sharp words but would instead cause Sister Sun to lose control of her emotions! That person also did not anticipate that Yu Han would analyze the pros and cons for Sister Sun, leading Sister Sun to seek help from Yu Han; otherwise, there wouldn’t be today’s scene! Daddy, if you don’t believe it, you can ask the servants who caused trouble at Yu Han’s residence with Sister Sun last night.”
“Right? Sister Sun? Every word from my sister is the truth, isn’t it?” With that, Xia Yuhan calmly met the dazed and disheveled gaze of Sun Liuxiang.
Sun Liuxiang, you can’t deny it now! Everyone who came with you last night knows what happened; the only thing unknown is your brief and quiet conversation that others couldn’t hear!
Others don’t know the content of this conversation; can’t I make up whatever I want? Now everyone will believe anything I say; on the contrary, if you tell the truth, no one will believe you!
……
Sun Liuxiang was scared pale; how detestable! This Xia Yuhan was so formidable! She openly used her to suppress Madam in front of the general while also clearing herself of suspicion! This indirectly proved her innocence and that she was framed.
Fortunately, the Right Chancellor of Azure Dragon Kingdom happened to come to Xia Manor; otherwise, if she had brought this up in front of so many people, not only would she lose face, but the entire Sun Mansion would also be disgraced!
Madwoman! Absolutely mad! No wonder when I first saw Xia Yuhan today, I felt something was off and uncomfortable all over; it turned out to be because of this matter!
She was unaware, so what? Now with Xia Yuhan's words, Madam and the eldest sister must have already developed a murderous intent towards her. If she continued to side with Madam, she would ultimately suffer.
Moreover, Xia Yuhan now had General and the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom backing her up. If she helped Xia Yuhan against Madam, they wouldn't dare to openly harm her. On the contrary, by speaking for Xia Yuhan, she might even gain some benefits. Why not?
Sun Liuxiang thought to herself, "Thud," as she prostrated on the ground: "What General Rain Cold Sister said is absolutely true!"
Despite her thoughts, when she uttered those words, she was unaware of how scared she truly was. It felt as if she was stepping into a trap set by Xia Yuhan.
Xia Yuhan, you are ruthless! Offending Madam means that she would never be able to stay in Xia Manor again!
But now it was too late; once the words were spoken, there was no way to take them back...
When Madam looked at Sun Liuxiang, a flicker of anger flashed in her eyes: "You treacherous scoundrel! You actually joined forces with Xia Yuhan to deal with me!"
It seemed that it wasn't even her turn to get angry. Xia Yuhan quietly met Madam's gaze, thinking to herself.
Sure enough, at that moment, General Xia stepped forward without waiting for Madam to defend herself and slapped her twice.
"Chenyu, Yu Han is still my daughter; do you wish for her demise? Your heart is truly vicious!"
Madam was struck dizzy, her eyes filled with stars: "How can the General place all the blame on Chenyu? It is Yu Han and this scoundrel Sun Liuxiang who are lying and deceiving the General!"
Xia Yuhan secretly smiled mockingly: "Madam, you are of no use now, are you? As the saying goes, 'the evidence is conclusive.' Although fabricating evidence is wrong, using extraordinary means in extraordinary times is permissible in professional ethics. I, Xia Yuhan, have nothing to feel guilty about!
Furthermore, Madam! You keep calling me a scoundrel; your virtuous image has vanished in General Xia's eyes. What will you use to compete for favor against her mother—Second Madam—in the future? Heh heh...
It's a pity that Sun Wan'er has been sent to the front yard. If she were here, it would surely cause a commotion, and there would be no shortage of punishment from the General!
Hmph! Sun Wan'er, I'll let you off for now!
"Shut up! Don't you think this situation is chaotic enough?" General Xia shouted angrily. "This matter ends here! No one is allowed to mention it outside! What are you still doing here? Get out of my sight! Leave... and think about your actions for a month!"
Xia Yuhan, Sun Liuxiang, and the others quickly responded. They absolutely dared not speak of this matter outside; if it got out, it would likely be Madam of Xia Manor who designed to frame Xia Yuhan and put them in an irretrievable situation. Moreover, if this news exploded, would Xia Manor still have a foothold in the capital? Without Xia Manor's standing, there would be no place for them either...
Madam's scheme to frame Xia Yuhan had backfired, and she was instead brought down by Xia Yuhan. She had underestimated her opponent! Under General Xia's hostile gaze, she left the courtyard without a word.
Her expression was like a dead well, calm and undisturbed...
This was exactly the expression that Xia Yuhan feared to see. She knew that Madam was definitely not someone who would let things go easily. Madam's expression told her that their real struggle had only just begun!
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhan couldn't help but tug at her blood-stained sleeve...
Once Madam left, Second Madam also withdrew, leaving only the General, Xia Yuhan, and Sun Liuxiang in the courtyard.
Xia Yuhan understood that General Xia's silence was due to not knowing how to speak to Sun Liuxiang. If he directly offered a thousand taels of silver as hush money, others would surely suspect him; besides, that wasn't the demeanor of a general...
But if he didn't make any gesture, he couldn't help but worry about what might happen in the future...
However, just because General Xia had no way out didn't mean that Xia Yuhan had no way out!
