Chapter 51: Volume 1, Chapter 51: Why Don't You Call the Regent to Call Off the Engagement!

The Old Madam was so angry that her teeth were clenched, and her eyes were red as she glared at Yun Qiyue.

If looks could kill, Yun Qiyue would probably have died a thousand or eight hundred times by now.

Finally, the Old Madam took a deep breath and questioned sternly, "You are acting so wildly in my mansion; do you have any respect for me, the Old Madam? Huh?"

Yun Qiyue shrugged. "Isn't it obvious? Besides, you are not anyone to me; why should I have respect for you?"

The Old Madam was furious.

She felt that if she continued to argue with Yun Qiyue, she might die of anger.

So she didn't say much more, ignoring Yun Qiyue's previous threat, and ordered the guards who hadn't moved after entering in a cold voice, "Seize her for me!"

The guards obeyed the order and immediately surrounded Yun Qiyue, preparing to seize her.

At the same time, Yun Qiyue gave Qingyan a look, and Qingyan took Sixue and retreated to the side.

And when she withdrew her gaze, Yun Qiyue clearly saw the flash of ruthlessness in Xu Shi's eyes.

Tsk tsk, it seems these guards were found by Xu Shi.

Facing those ill-intentioned guards, Yun Qiyue didn't have a hint of urgency on her face, only coldly scanning those guards, as if reminding or provoking them. "Don't you forget, I am now the Regent's fiancée. Do you really dare to seize me?"

Upon hearing this, the guards who were about to seize Yun Qiyue didn't dare to move, and even subconsciously took a few steps back.

The Regent's terror was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, making everyone have an instinctive fear of people and things related to the Regent.

Seeing that her light sentence was so effective, Yun Qiyue sighed in her heart.

She just said this sentence to deter them because she was too lazy to do it herself; she didn't expect the Regent's name to be so useful.

But now, she was even more worried about what to do about this marriage.

She wasn't afraid of trouble, but... she didn't want to be an enemy of a man she felt was dangerous at all.

She always felt that when facing those unfathomable eyes, she had a feeling that if she were to be his enemy, she would be overestimating herself.

And her intuition had always been accurate.

Full of sorrow, and no one knew it.

Seeing the guards stop, Yun Jianye was a bit disappointed. "Are you stupid? Can the Regent really fancy this ugly woman? Don't be fooled by her."

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Qiyue with disdain. "Don't you take a mirror to look at yourself? With the way you look, would the Regent marry you? You're probably daydreaming, right?"

The guards were a bit loosened, but still didn't dare to move.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue was not angry, but looked at Yun Jianye with a relaxed face. "Saying all this, why don't you call the Regent to call off the engagement!"

If they really had the ability, she would respect them as good men.

Yun Qiyue's words successfully choked the people of the Yun family.

How could they answer this?

Call the Regent to call off the engagement?

Where would they get such courage and face?

Moreover, Yun Qiyue's words also reminded them that even if the Regent wouldn't marry Yun Qiyue in the end, as long as the Regent didn't come to call off the engagement and didn't make his attitude clear, Yun Qiyue was the Regent's fiancée in terms of status.

The Regent was moody; even if he didn't like Yun Qiyue, as long as Yun Qiyue was his fiancée for a day, they really couldn't do anything to Yun Qiyue for a day, otherwise, if the Regent wanted to settle accounts later, they would be miserable.

Especially, the people of the Yun family also thought of the Regent who appeared inexplicably at the Yun family gate on the day Yun Qiyue returned...

Could it be that the Regent really had something different for Yun Qiyue?

Compared to others, Xu Shi thought one layer more at this time, which was that she had sent assassins to assassinate Yun Qiyue twice, but neither succeeded.

Yun Qiyue might be capable, but she couldn't be more capable than two groups of assassins. Could it be that the Regent had a hand in it, and the Regent was helping her in secret?

Thinking of this, Xu Shi's face turned pale.

And the expressions of the other people in the Yun family weren't much better at this time, because of this layer of relationship between Yun Qiyue and the Regent, they really didn't know how to deal with Yun Qiyue for a while.

And Yun Qiyue didn't have the entanglement of the crowd; she only knew that the Old Madam wanted to renege on the jade pendant that should have been given to her, so while everyone was entangled, with a few waves of her hand, she smashed a few more valuable things.

Well, anyway, it wasn't hers, she didn't feel heartache at all, but instead, seeing the expressions on those faces, she felt exceptionally refreshed.

Seeing that Yun Qiyue still had the intention to smash things, the Old Madam hurriedly said, "Don't smash anymore, I'll give it to you."

If she let this reckless Yun Qiyue smash any more, the family wouldn't be able to take out anything to save face.

Moreover, although that jade pendant was peculiar, no one could say for sure if it was more valuable than the treasures in her Marquis Mansion.

Furthermore, if Yun Qiyue could take it away today, she would definitely be able to find a way to take it back another day.

After comforting herself like this, the Old Madam eased some of the depression in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue stopped her movements. She was still holding two blue and white porcelains in her hand, and looked at the Old Madam with the eyes of 'if the Old Madam doesn't hurry up, then she will continue to smash'.

This time, the Old Madam didn't dare to delay and immediately got up to take it herself.

Since getting that jade pendant, she had always kept it herself and hadn't passed it through other people's hands, so no one else knew where the jade pendant was.

The Old Madam was afraid that Yun Qiyue would smash things again, so she didn't deliberately delay time and came back with a brocade box before long.

She let the maid take the brocade box to Yun Qiyue, and the Old Madam sat down to rest herself.

Because she walked too fast, she was still panting.

Yun Qiyue took the brocade box from the maid's hand and opened it in public.

Inside lay a thumb-sized, water-drop-shaped red jade; the jade was as red as dripping blood, as if it were congealed fresh blood, and it even emitted a faint red glow.

When Yun Qiyue's hand touched the water-drop-shaped red jade, a peculiar feeling struck her heart, a warm and very intimate feeling.

Almost instantly, Yun Qiyue confirmed the unusual nature of this jade pendant, and it was no wonder the Old Madam wanted to renege on the debt.

And the other people of the Yun family were seeing that water-drop-shaped jade pendant for the first time, and for a while, their eyes turned red.

This jade pendant was so peculiar, it must be worth a lot; giving it to Yun Qiyue made them feel very unwilling, and they wished they could snatch it from Yun Qiyue's hand.

And after Yun Qiyue confirmed that the jade pendant was real, she took advantage of the effort of stuffing it into her sleeve to throw it into the space, then looked at the Old Madam and said, "This was going to be taken out sooner or later; if the Old Madam had taken it out earlier, wouldn't there have been so much trouble?"

The voice was quite helpless.

The Old Madam was so angry she almost fell backward, pointing at Yun Qiyue with a trembling hand. "You..."

Yun Qiyue ignored the Old Madam's appearance of being about to collapse in the next moment and left a piece of advice lightly: "Sometimes, if things are done too ruthlessly, there will be retribution."

Yun Qiyue emphasized the word retribution.

After saying that, she took the two maids and walked away, and the Marquis Mansion's main hall fell into a deathly silence... ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
