Chapter 50: Volume 1, Chapter 50: To Deal with Shameless People, One Must Use Even More Shameless Methods

As soon as Yun Jianye heard that Yun Qiyue had come, his expression immediately turned ferocious. "She still dares to come!"

Because of Yun Qiyue, he had almost lost all the family property of the third branch.

So, upon hearing Yun Qiyue's name, he gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could peel her skin and pull out her bones.

When the rest of the people in the Marquis Mansion heard Yun Qiyue's name, their expressions weren't much better.

Especially the Old Madam; upon hearing Yun Qiyue's name, she first thought of the threatening words Yun Qiyue had said that day.

And that jade pendant was so special; intuition told her it must have great use, and she didn't want to give it away.

However, at this time, Li Shi caught the drift and asked with a frown, "Are you saying the Third Miss came from the main gate?"

Once Li Shi asked this question, everyone also realized something was wrong.

The two mansions were connected; why would Yun Qiyue go through the trouble of going to the gate?

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper nodded. "Yes."

The people of the Yun family looked at each other, not quite understanding what kind of operation Yun Qiyue was pulling.

"Don't see her, tell her to get lost." In the end, unable to figure it out, the Old Madam gave the order.

She was afraid that if she saw Yun Qiyue, she would have another heart attack.

However, upon hearing this, the gatekeeper did not immediately retreat to drive her away, but stood there in a dilemma, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Yun Jiande was displeased and shouted angrily, "Did you not hear the Old Madam's order? Are you deaf? Get out of here!"

The gatekeeper wanted to get out, but didn't dare to. Finally, gritting his teeth, he braced himself and spoke, "Old Madam, when the Third Miss came, there were many people watching at the gate, and the Third Miss also said that... if the Marquis Mansion refuses to open the door, she doesn't mind telling the Emperor about the 'contributions' the Marquis Mansion has made to the General's Mansion over the years."

"Presumptuous!" The Old Madam slapped the table angrily.

The gatekeeper was so scared that he knelt down immediately, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Xu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to appease her. "Mother, why don't we invite her in?"

Just as Xu Shi finished speaking, she received a cold glare from the Old Madam, but Xu Shi wasn't afraid and continued, "Could it be that we really block her outside and let her go to the Emperor to spout nonsense?"

As she said this, Xu Shi's lowered eyes were full of malice.

She didn't believe that she couldn't get rid of Yun Qiyue once she lured her in.

Hearing Xu Shi say this, the Old Madam's expression softened a little.

Seeing this, Xu Shi ordered the gatekeeper, "Go, let her in."

Seeing that the Old Madam did not object, the gatekeeper hurriedly got up and ran out.

After the gatekeeper went out, Xu Shi whispered something into her personal maid's ear. The maid understood and left immediately.

The people of the Yun family didn't care what a maid was going out to do; they were all thinking about how to teach Yun Qiyue a lesson once she came in to vent their anger.

Before long, Yun Qiyue walked in with her two maids.

She scanned the people in the hall casually and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Not to mention, the people were quite complete; except for those two legitimate daughters, all the other main legitimate members were present.

Yun Qiyue didn't talk nonsense either; she looked at the Old Madam and went straight to the point. "I've come to take back my things."

The Old Madam didn't make a sound, nor did she look at Yun Qiyue, looking as if she were about to enter meditation.

Xu Shi looked at the Old Madam, and seeing the Old Madam's attitude, she knew what it meant, so she said with a fake smile, "Qiyue, what are you saying? What things of yours are in our Marquis Mansion?"

Xu Shi was truly good at playing dumb.

Yun Qiyue didn't even look at Xu Shi, but glared at the Old Madam. "Old Madam, you tell me, do I have things in the Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing that the question was put to her, the Old Madam had to respond, but she refused to admit it. "What could you possibly have in the Marquis Mansion?"

Yun Jiande stood out at this time and spoke to Yun Qiyue in the tone of an elder teaching a junior, "Qiyue, this is where you are wrong. You don't look at us elders and don't come to pay your respects, that's fine, but how can you come here and say with empty teeth that the Marquis Mansion has your things? It makes people think that we elders have embezzled your things!"

Yun Jianye also stood up and said in that commanding tone, "Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to your grandmother to admit your mistake?"

Yun Qiyue acted as if she hadn't heard the shameless words of the brothers Yun Jiande and Yun Jianye.

Why bother with them? It was a waste of breath.

Yun Qiyue's gaze remained on the Old Madam, as if to confirm, "According to you, the Marquis Mansion does not have my mother's water-drop-shaped red jade?"

Old Madam: "No."

She insisted that there wasn't one; let's see what she could do to her.

Thinking this way, the Old Madam looked at Yun Qiyue with some pride, but just happened to meet Yun Qiyue's cold, evil eyes and her slightly raised lips.

Such a Yun Qiyue made the Old Madam feel inexplicably afraid, and she couldn't help but shiver, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

Then, she saw Yun Qiyue scan the hall and walk toward the half-person-high vase that looked the most valuable.

"What are you do..." The Old Madam felt more and more uneasy and was about to ask what Yun Qiyue was going to do.

Then she heard a 'bang', the vase hit the ground and shattered.

The people of the Yun family didn't react for a moment and were all stunned.

"Ah—" The Old Madam screamed in anger, then pointed at Yun Qiyue furiously. "You... you actually dared to smash that vase. Do you know how much that vase is worth?"

That was a vase worth a thousand taels!

Because the main hall was often used for banquets, to save face, the things placed here were very valuable, and usually, when servants were asked to clean, they were very careful.

But Yun Qiyue smashed it with a wave of her hand; how could the Old Madam keep her composure?

The Old Madam's scream brought the people of the Yun family back to their senses.

"Evil creature, simply an evil creature. What kind of evil did our Yun family commit?" The Old Madam was so angry she slapped the table.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked at the Old Madam. "Only you know what evil the Yun family committed, Old Madam, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Old Madam didn't know what she thought of, and a flash of guilt crossed her eyes, but to cover it up, she kept slapping the table to show her anger.

Compared to the Old Madam's anger, Yun Qiyue looked at the Old Madam very calmly and asked one more time, "My things, are you giving them or not?"

The Old Madam gritted her teeth. "Not giving."

She smashed her things and still wanted her to give the jade pendant? Don't even think about it.

Yun Qiyue nodded, and then her gaze fell on a large jade Ruyi placed not far behind the Old Madam, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

To deal with shameless people, one must use even more shameless methods.

What's more, smashing their things made her feel good.

Noticing Yun Qiyue's gaze, everyone in the Marquis Mansion was shocked, and the Old Madam shouted in fear, "Quick, come here, stop her!"

Damn it!

That was a whole piece of jade, worth a fortune; she must absolutely not let Yun Qiyue ruin it.

However, just as the Old Madam's words fell, before the guards could even enter, Yun Qiyue was already in front of the jade Ruyi, and under the horrified gazes of everyone, Yun Qiyue raised her hand.

The jade Ruyi hit the ground and shattered into pieces.

And at this time, a large group of guards arrived late.

Looking at the broken pieces all over the floor, the people of the Marquis Mansion felt as if their hearts were about to break.

The priceless jade Ruyi was now worthless; who wouldn't be heartbroken and want to shed tears?

Yun Qiyue didn't look at the expressions of the people in the Marquis Mansion, but glanced at the unusually large number of guards, who looked like they had been prepared for a long time, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems they all really wanted her dead.

However, she liked it.

What she liked most was the look of these people wanting to kill her but being helpless; how pleasing to the eye.

Withdrawing her gaze, Yun Qiyue looked at the Old Madam again and asked, "Asking you one last time, give, or not give?" ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
