Meanwhile at BiShui Courtyard
"Grandfather said that he can't come? Why?" Came Xiao Yun's anxious voice.
Xia Ni answered: "It's the Lord's father who said that he isn't feeling well. He needs to rest in the prefecture and said that he doesn't want to question about the matters within the prefecture of Princess Zhang. He wants the Lord and the second young miss to find a solution themselves."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yun clapped against the table, standing up. "How would grandfather say something like this? It must be you – this girl who hadn't explained everything clearly!"
Xia Ni hurriedly kneeled on the ground: "Second young miss, this maid is innocent ah! Although this maid is clumsy with words, this maid is still able to say a couple of sentences. This was the Lord's father's original words. This maid reported this back to the second young miss, without missing a single word. Second young miss, please investigate this."
Xiao Yun clenched her teeth, deeply sighing then she slowly sat down. In her mouth, she mumbled: "It doesn't make sense ah. How come grandfather wouldn't come?"
Concubine Xue walked out from the room and lowered her voice: "Yun Er, your father is sleeping right now. What are you making a loud racket about?"
Xiao Yun pursed her lips: "Grandfather said that he's not coming. How come the grandfather isn't coming?"
"He's an old man so he must be busy. You think that everyone is like you? Yun Er, what happened today, Concubine Qin had suffered more. How about let them go torment each other while we sit in the mountains and watch the fight!"
Indeed, sitting in the mountains and watching the fight was much easier. However, what she was more concerned with was why the grandfather isn't coming?
Today, within the Ling Yang College, grandfather let her go find Huang Bei Yue. At that time, her grandfather had told her in a serious tone that if this Huang Bei Yue was able to listen and let him use her as he wished, then he will keep her. If she didn't listen to him then he will definitely not show mercy!
Now that Huang Bei Yue was that arrogant, how could the grandfather keep enduring this?
Normally, grandfather had deep foresight and rigorous schemes. This time, there is probably some reason behind it?
Xiao Yun secretly thought about it when suddenly a maid from outside came in, reporting: "Lady, young miss, the servant outside came reporting that the Lord's father is coming!"
"Grandfather is coming!" Xiao Yun suddenly stood up. She was ecstatic. She knew that grandfather will definitely go against Huang Bei Yue. How could he possibly not come?
She harshly glared at Xia Ni: "You – this girl is probably being lazy! Look at how I am going to teach you a lesson tonight! Go, let's go greet grandfather!"
Xiao Ni held a crying face on, feeling as though she was wronged within her heart. She really did bring the words over ah. Plus, she did follow the Lord's father's order then came back to relay what he had exclaimed. The Lord's father did say he wasn't going to come. How come he is coming at this time now?
When Concubine Xue heard that the Lord's father was going to come, she wanted to call Xiao Yuan Cheng up from inside the room but looking at Xia Ni's face, her eyebrows were slightly scrunched.
"Ni Er, are you sure you brought the words over and the Lord's father said that he wasn't coming?"
"Report to the lady, this maid for sure had brought the words over. The Lord's father indeed did say he wasn't going to come ah!" The eyelids of Xia Ni's eyes was brimmed with tears. The second young miss's methods were usually harsh. She had no idea how she was going to teach her a lesson tonight. Just by thinking about it, she was beginning to shiver all over her body: "Lady, you need to bring justice to this maid ah. This maid really wasn't being lazy and didn't lie!"
Concubine Xue held onto the handrail of the seat, standing. She scrunched her eyebrows, thinking for a while. This Xia Ni, from childhood, she was the one training her. She was a diligent and attentive honest person, never lying.
Then what happened with the Lord's father today? He didn't need to play a joke on a maid. How come he said he wasn't coming but then end up coming?
In her heart, there was a faint feeling of something bad happening. She hurriedly ordered towards Xia Ni: "Quickly go in and wake the Lord up. Tell him that the Lord's father is here!"
As she finished her words, she rushed out to chase after Xiao Yun. Living for so many years, after all, she wasn't like Xiao Yun – this sixteen years old and that innocent. Somethings, you can't look just on the surface!
Xiao Qi Yuan was carried over by a sedan chair. His body was covered by the thick fox fur coat, bundled tightly. He had a mink fur hat on, covering the white hair.
Besides the four servants carrying the sedan chair, Xiao Qi Yuan had brought along a couple of extraordinary people. Two men and one woman, looking at the prefecture of Princess Zhang in alarm before daring to walk in.
"Grandfather!" Xiao Yun had already stepped out, welcoming him. She was delighted and crisply calling for him: "I thought you aren't going to come. I thought that you don't adore Yun Er anymore."
Xiao Qi Yuan walked off from the sedan chair. He swept his eyes across Xiao Yun, revealing a sense of warning.
Xiao Yun, inquired out of confusion: "Grandfather, what are you looking at?"
"Where does Princess Bei Yue live?" Xiao Qi Yuan didn't pay attention to her, immediately asking.
Xiao Yun felt joy in her heart. As expected, grandfather was coming to stir up troubles for Huang Bei Yue. However, if they were the ones coming to find her, doesn't that make it seem like they have no faces? She should let grandfather go to the front hall first and sip some tea while she orders for people to tie Huang Bei Yue out?
"Grandfather, we have prepared your favorite tea in the front hall. How about you first go-"
Her words weren't even finished when Xiao Qi Yuan turned impatient. He casually grabbed a maid over: "Lead the way!"
The maid was frightened. In front of her was an eight-star summoner. How did she dare to resist this? She hurriedly led the way to Liu Yun Ge where Huang Bei Yue lived.
"Grandfather?!" Xiao Yun held a face of confusion. Grandfather didn't need to be that urgent right?
"Yun Er!" Concubine Xue who had run out grabbed onto Xiao Yun's hand, a look of uneasiness.
"Mother, what is the matter? If your body isn't feeling well then go back to rest. I will go see how grandfather is going to teach Huang Bei Yue a lesson!"
Concubine Xue glared at her. In her heart, she sighed. After all, she was still a kid ah. No matter how smart she was, during times of importance, she would still make stupid mistakes ah.
"Stupid girl, did you not hear how your grandfather addressed that girl?" Concubine Xue hurriedly exclaimed, as though afraid that Xiao Yun will run away after not hearing her words.
Xiao Yun was stunned. She recalled: "Call Bei" Suddenly, that lovable and good looking face turned white!
"How come it's like this? It's impossible. Before, before, I must have heard wrong!" Xiao Yun mumbled. The body, on the other hand, turned freezing cold already from top to bottom.
"Yun Er, let's better not easily make a move. Even your grandfather had also-" At this time, Concubine Xue had felt the real terror. She thought back to today in the garden where there was a servant's corpse hanging on the mountains. Suddenly, she felt as though her hair had stood up.
Xiao Yun choked with emotions. Suddenly, tears fell out of the eyelids. She started screaming: "I don't want this! I don't want this! Mother! Even until death, I won't believe this ah! That slutty girl, how dare she?!"
"Speak with a lower voice!" Concubine Xue covered her mouth and turned around to look at the surrounding people. Thankfully, at this time, a lot of people knew that the Lord's father was about to arrive and was on his way to Huang Bei Yue's Liu Yun Ge. They thought that there was going to be a show to watch so they all headed towards the direction of Liu Yun Ge.
Xiao Yun 'wu, wu' a couple times before she sniffled and exclaimed with her red and swollen eyes: "I don't understand. How come even grandfather is like this?"
Concubine Xue thought about it in detail: "That Huang Bei Yue, in the past, has been deemed as a useless thing. She had let anyone bullied her."
