Chapter 131: Volume 1, Chapter 131: Does the Old Man Not Like This Prince?

Being called by her full name, the Old Madam was startled and stood up from her seat, a bad premonition striking her heart.

The next moment, Yun Yongyuan rushed in like a gust of wind.

Before the Old Madam could react, a "Slap—" sound landed on the Old Madam's face.

For a time, the entire front hall of the Marquis Mansion was unusually quiet.

Chen Shi didn't even recover from being slapped.

Because, for so many years, she had never been hit.

She simply couldn't believe that she, who had been pampered for so many years, had actually been hit.

However, the sharp pain on her face told her that the fact she had been hit was true.

"Ah—" Chen Shi screamed.

Then, Chen Shi didn't care about her age or image, and sat on the ground on her bottom, "Oh heavens, this old woman has lived to this age and still has to be hit; this is going to take this old woman's life."

At this moment, where was there any image of the Old Madam of the house left in Chen Shi? At this moment, she was simply a street shrew.

However, such a Chen Shi only further enraged Yun Yongyuan.

"Take your life? Fine! I will grant your wish."

As he spoke, Yun Yongyuan pulled out the sword from Huailin's waist and thrust it toward Chen Shi, who was throwing a tantrum on the ground.

Chen Shi was stunned.

But, she didn't want to die!

"Ah—"

Chen Shi screamed, climbed up from the ground with agility, and began to dodge.

And Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye finally reacted at this time, hurriedly trying to stop Yun Yongyuan.

However, compared to Yun Yongyuan, who had fought on the battlefield, Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye had grown up pampered; how could they stop Yun Yongyuan?

But, they had to stop him even if they couldn't; they couldn't really watch their mother be stabbed to death by their father, right?

If this got out, the two of them would probably have no face to see anyone in the capital.

So, the two looked at each other and knelt down before Yun Yongyuan, begging bitterly.

"Father, please calm down, don't act on impulse."

"That's right, Father, what fault does Mother have? For so many years, Mother has followed you, if there's no credit, there's hard work—"

"Get lost—"

Yun Yongyuan kicked them both in the chest without mercy.

The two fell to the ground in pain, but still climbed up, "Father, you really cannot kill Mother—"

"Fine—" Yun Yongyuan's eyes were red as he glared at his two sons, "If I don't kill your mother, I'll kill you two beasts!"

As he spoke, Yun Yongyuan was about to act.

Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye were terrified and wanted to hide.

But their legs felt like they were filled with lead; they couldn't hide even if they wanted to.

In his anxiety, Yun Jiande hurriedly shouted: "Father, if you want to kill us, you have to give a reason, right?"

As soon as Yun Jiande said this, the sword in Yun Yongyuan's hand stopped.

Yun Jianye also thought of something and hurriedly said: "Father, is it that bitch—is it that Qiyue told you some baseless things? This is not true, you must not believe her one-sided words—"

Originally, Yun Yongyuan was also in a rage, which was why he wanted to vent.

But, seeing the faces of these family members he had originally thought were okay, for a moment, Yun Yongyuan only felt they were strangers.

So, all that had come before was just their disguise?

The more Yun Yongyuan realized, the more disappointed he became.

Then, before Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye could react, he raised his hand and swung the sword.

"Ah—"

Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye both screamed in unison.

But in the end, what was shaved off were their hair crowns.

Even so, the two were still paralyzed on the ground.

"Don't think that I am a deaf and blind old fool who will let you fool me. Even at this point, you are still splashing dirty water on Qiyue. You better behave yourselves; if I find out you are restless again, I will shave you."

After finishing, with a "clatter," Yun Yongyuan threw the long sword into the scabbard at Huailin's waist with extreme precision.

Then, in a terrified silence, Yun Yongyuan smashed all the valuable things in the hall with a palm wind, turned, and left.

After Yun Yongyuan left, the front hall of the Marquis Mansion was plunged into silence for a long time.

Then, there was a wail.

Not only because of the pain and fright, but also because there weren't many good things left in the front hall that had been smashed by Yun Qiyue before, and now it was adding frost to snow.

Especially since the things inside now were all contributed by each branch; this was simply making their hearts drip blood.

The commotion here soon reached Yun Qiyue, but regarding this, Yun Qiyue just laughed it off and didn't express any opinion.

"Miss, the Old Master has moved to the General's Mansion," Xue said.

Yun Qiyue: "If he wants to come and live, let him live."

No matter what, this General's Mansion was his son's property, so it was only natural for him to live there.

After a while, Xue came again, "Miss, the Old Master has been standing outside for a long time."

"Mn." Yun Qiyue was tinkering with the things in her hands and didn't react much.

Xue saw this and sighed.

The task her foster father gave her to restore the relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter was really hard to complete!

Xue went out and came back in again.

"Miss, the Old Master heard that the Emperor annulled your engagement with the Crown Prince and changed it to a marriage with the Regent, so he angrily saddled a horse and went to the Imperial Palace," Xue said, a bit anxious.

After all, she and Qingyan had both seen the Regent's protection of the Miss in the Imperial Palace today; the Regent was so good to the Miss, much better than that Crown Prince!

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue finally had a reaction.

"What is he going to the Imperial Palace for? Could it be that he thinks he can make the Emperor take back his order?"

Xue: "..."

Just as Yun Qiyue thought.

Yun Yongyuan going to the Imperial Palace did not make the Emperor take back his order.

The Emperor played Tai Chi with Yun Yongyuan, indicating that if Yun Yongyuan had a way to make the Regent agree to annul the marriage, he would take back the order.

Yun Yongyuan had only been away for three years, which didn't mean his brain wasn't working.

He understood the Emperor's meaning.

To put it bluntly, he was afraid of the Regent and couldn't make decisions for the Regent.

But if that was the case, was the Emperor's head broken when he bestowed this marriage on Qiyue in the first place?

Yun Yongyuan was very angry.

He could only return to the General's Mansion dejectedly.

But his granddaughter's marriage had become a thorn in his heart; what kind of person was the Regent? If his granddaughter married into the Regent's Mansion, would she still have her life?

So that night, Yun Yongyuan couldn't sleep, his heart thinking of ways to make Ye Lanjue annul the marriage.

And the fact that Yun Yongyuan went to the Imperial Palace to find the Emperor to annul the marriage reached Ye Lanjue's ears that night. Ye Lanjue frowned and asked his subordinate, "Does the Old Master not like this Prince?"

Subordinate: "... Probably not, I suppose."

Inner thought: That's more than just not liking; it's like encountering a flood or a wild beast.

But, under his master's cold gaze, he didn't dare to tell the truth.

Ye Lanjue: "Go investigate—what do old people like?"

Subordinate: "..." ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
