Chapter 102: The Little Bun Misspoke
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yunxi walked in holding Yu Junjin’s hand and Qian Qing appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Yu Junjin wore his human skin mask, and his eyes were very dark as he fearlessly met everyone’s gaze.
Old Master Yu scoffed coldly. “Do I need to personally go out and invite you back?”
Old Master was deeply prejudiced against women. He felt that women should be simple, humble, and never surpass men. The reason he had made Old Madam Zhou, who had a lowly background, his official wife back then was not due just because of feelings. It was because she was foolish. He knew that Old Madam Zhou only knew how to play petty tricks in the backyard and would not outshine the men of the Yu family.
Old Master Yu hated Yu Yunxi’s mother so much because he felt that she did not know her limits. As a woman, she not only opened a medical hall, but she was also frequently summoned into the imperial palace. In his eyes, it was a humiliation to the men of the Yu family. What if others said that the Yu family relied on a woman to make a name for themselves? Yu Yunxi’s mother was like that in the past, and now Yu Yunxi was also like that.
“Grandfather, you could have done that if you like. After all… the Revival Hall is not far from the Yu Residence,” Yu Yunxi replied indifferently.
“You!”
Old Master Yu’s face turned red and purple in anger.
‘How shameless! She actually dares to speak to her grandfather like this!’
“Yu Yunxi, where did your manners go?” Old Master Yu bellowed, slamming his hand on the table again.
“Oh, that’s right. I have no manners, Grandfather. Thanks for the reminder. I’m tired now so I’ll talk to you another day. I’ll go back and rest first,” Yu Yunxi said before yawning. She was not her mother. She was not going to tolerate
him just because he was an elder.
“You, you…”
Old Master Yu was so furious that he was at a loss for words. He never imagined that Yu Yunxi was even more detestable than her mother.
“By the way, Grandfather, you should calm down and take care of your health. It won’t be good if you die of anger,” Yu Yunxi said, feigning a kind tone. Then, she held Yu Junjin’s hand and left.
“She… She’s too arrogant!”
Old Master Yu panted heavily, infuriated.
“You saw it for yourself. She’s been like this, and all of us were bullied by her,” Madam Chen said with a sigh, wiping the nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Old Master Yu grew even angrier when he heard these words. He said, “As long as I’m still breathing, I won’t allow her to be arrogant!”
Then, Old Master Yu suddenly turned to Yu Yongnian and said seriously, “Yongnian, you’re a general now. It’s easy for you to see the Emperor. Find a suitable chance for me to meet the Emperor.”
Yu Yongnian had been sitting in a corner silently from the beginning until now.
It was as though the commotion around him had nothing to do with him. However, when he heard Old Master Yu’s words, he frowned slightly.
“Old Master, Yongnian just returned to the capital. There are many people watching his every move. It’s better not to get him involved in these things,” Madam Chen said awkwardly. She wanted Old Master Yu to deal with Yu Yunxi, but she did not want to involve her son. After all, her son was going to marry the Fourth Princess in the future. He was going to be the Prince Consort. Nothing could go wrong.
“You’re a woman! What do you know?!” Old Master Yu said snappily, glaring at Madam Chen in dissatisfaction. It was as though he was venting his anger from Yu Yunxi on Madam Chen.
Madam Chen almost shredded her handkerchief, but she still pretended to be meek and obedient as she said, “I was wrong, Old Master.”
Yu Yongnian did not lift his head to hide his expression as he said lightly, “I’ll think of something, Grandfather.”
Seeing that Yu Yongnian agreed, Old Master Yu’s expression eased slightly. No matter what, he was in charge of the family.
Meanwhile, Madam Chen and Yu Wanrong exchanged a look. Both of them looked gloomy. They realized now that inviting Old Master Yu back might not do them much good.
Yu Wanrong was still stewing in her bad mood when her maidservant suddenly rushed over.
“Second Miss, the Eldest Miss has taken over your courtyard!”
“What?!”
Yu Wanrong could no longer sit still. Her expression changed as she stood up and ran out of the hall.
Madam Chen and the others naturally followed suit, chasing after Yu Wanrong. On the other side.
Yu Yunxi had brought a few guards from the King of Xinan’s Residence with her. She ordered them to remove the plaque with the words ‘Rongshui Pavilion’ and replaced them with the plaque ‘Qingxi Garden’, which was from her old courtyard.
Qian Qing also instructed people to throw away Yu Wanrong’s things.
Yu Yunxi and the little bun sat on a rocking child in the yard, looking extremely relaxed.
The little bun picked up the grapes at the side and handed them to his mother. “Mother… Aunt, please have some.”
“You’re such a good boy,” Yu Yunxi said, stroking his head gently before taking the grapes from him. The grapes were brought here by Shen Hezhi from Xinan, and they were particularly sweet.
Yu Wanrong rushed over at this moment, shrieking, “Yu Yunxi! What did you do to my courtyard?!”
“I’ve taken a fancy to your courtyard so… I decided to take it for myself,” Yu Yunxi said in a leisurely manner after she ate the grapes.
“This my courtyard! You don’t have the right to take it from me!” Yu Wanrong said, seething in anger.
“Why can’t I take it from you? Did you think about this when you snatched my things away back then?” Yu Yunxi asked mockingly.
Yu Yunxi’s eyes turned red in anger when she saw her things being thrown out one after another. Unable to endure it any longer, she rushed over, screeching, “Yu Yunxi, you sl*t! I’m going to kill you!”
However, Yu Yunxi grabbed Yu Wanrong at lightning speed. She looked at Yu Wanrong coldly as she said, “Since you like to slap people so much, I’ll let you have a taste of what it feels like to be slapped.”
‘Is she going to slap me?’
Yu Wanrong was frightened, but she still said defiantly, “Yu Yunxi, this is the
Yu Residence. Do you dare to slap me?”
“That’s true. This is the Yu Residence. I really shouldn’t slap you,” Yu Yunxi muttered.
Yu Wanrong’s fear vanished upon hearing these words. Not only that, but she even felt smug. As expected, Yu Yunxi did not dare to make a move in the Yu Residence.
However, Yu Wanrong was not smug for long. In the next moment, there was a crisp cracking noise. She broke out in cold sweat and shrieked in pain, looking at Yu Yunxi fearfully.
Yu Yunxi had broken Yu Wanrong’s wrist. After that, she wiped her hands carefully with her handkerchief as though she had just touched something dirty. Then, she said icily, “It’s true that I shouldn’t slap you. After all, you wouldn’t repent that way. It’s better for me to break your hand directly.” Yu Yunxi swept her gaze across the courtyard before she continued to say, “Although this courtyard isn’t much, its location is not bad. I’ll reluctantly take it. Sister, I’ll have to trouble you to look for another place to stay.”
As Yu Yunxi turned around, she said to Qian Qing, “By the way, Qian Qing, in order to prevent my mother’s courtyard from being improperly used, send someone to level it.”
In the past, Yu Yunxi wanted to preserve her mother’s courtyards and belongings. However, after thinking about it, she felt that it was an insult to leave her mother’s courtyard in the Yu Residence. Since she could not take it away, she would destroy it. She did not want to leave any of her mother’s traces in the Yu Residence.
Perhaps Yu Yunxi would be a little more cautious if Yu Zhongcheng was still the Prime Minister. However, there was no need for her to restrain herself now that Yu Zhongcheng was stripped of his official title.
“Yes, County Princess.”
Qian Qing acted quickly. She led a few men toward the courtyard at the back of the Yu Residence immediately.
The little bun wanted to join in the fun so he quickly followed Qian Qing with his short legs.
At this time, at Yu Yunxi’s mother’s old courtyard in the Yu Residence.
A certain Prince Regent stood nearby with a dark gaze. He had just left the court when he heard from Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuang that Yu Yunxi had returned to the Yu Residence. Worried that she would suffer a loss, he had rushed over without even changing out of his court robes. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not see her.
Just as he lowered his head, lost in his thoughts, the roof suddenly rumbled as tiles began to fall one after another. In just a moment, the entire place was completely destroyed. He raised his head and looked at the rubble angrily.
At the same time, the little bun who was holding an explosive under the guidance of one of the guards looked at Feng Yili in a daze. After a while, he asked with a frown, “Fath… Your Royal Highness, why are you here? I almost blew you up…
Feng Yili inhaled deeply before he asked through gritted teeth, “Who allowed you to play with such dangerous things?”
‘He’s not even five years old, but he’s already playing with explosives?’
The little bun straightened his back and said proudly, “Mother! When Mother led the troops to war back then, I followed her and handed her explosives!”
It was also for this reason, the little bun was allowed to handle explosives under supervision. Destroying a courtyard was also nothing compared to what he had experienced before.
“What did you say?” Feng Yili’s expression changed when he heard the little bun’s words.
At this time, Qian Qing discovered that the little bun had misspoken and quickly called out, “Little Master!”
‘Oh, no!’
The little bun realized he had misspoken and instinctively reached up to cover his mouth. However, he seemed to have forgotten he was still holding an explosive.
“Be careful!”
Upon seeing this, Feng Yili’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly rushed toward the little bun..
