Everyone stood there with petrified expressions, incredulously watching everything unfold before them—
“Madam, since you haven't decided how to punish us after all this time, Yu Han will take Mother back to rest! After all, Yu Han still needs to find a doctor for Mother to check her leg; the days ahead are long.”
Her tone was so nonchalant, as if she were unaffected. When she said this, she seemed oblivious to Madam's fierce gaze and boldly supported Second Madam, turning to leave.
Second Madam trembled in fear upon hearing Xia Yuhan's words. After all, she wasn't prepared to stay at Xia Manor. She thought that they would be driven out of Xia Manor and have no further ties to it. Who would have thought that her daughter would undergo such a drastic change…
“Xia Yuhan, you…!” This time it was Madam who was taken aback!
“Madam, what’s wrong with Yu Han?”
“Don't forget that I offered you two good options for your sake! Ruxin, Yu Han is just a lowly person; I think you should know what to do.”
Still, Second Madam lacked the courage to voice her thoughts. Her demeanor indicated that she was merely a victim: “Madam, I…”
“Madam, my mother has caught a cold and has a sore throat; she can't speak much. If my mother can't speak, it’s not an offense for Yu Han to speak on her behalf. Moreover, what Yu Han is saying is exactly what my mother wants. On the contrary, Madam seems overly concerned for both of us!” Xia Yuhan could no longer bear Second Madam's frightened appearance and interjected regardless of her status.
Madam's face became as stiff as a dinosaur fossil that had been asleep for tens of thousands of years: “Xia Yuhan!”
“Madam! Xia Manor is Yu Han and my mother's home, and the master of this home is far away at the border. The master hasn’t made any decisions. Now Madam’s good intentions might turn into malice and could even become the root cause of destruction for the entire Xia Manor!”
“Furthermore, Yu Han’s life is worthless; if I die, it wouldn’t be a loss. But if it implicates Madam, that would be unfortunate! Madam has already punished Yu Han and my mother; that counts as punishment. If Madam continues to think of ways for us to escape now, it might not bode well for you in the future!”
Madam had seen many storms and how could she be helpless against Xia Yuhan's few words? On the contrary, she found Xia Yuhan's words extremely amusing!
“Xia Yuhan, you really think highly of yourself! To put it bluntly, you are just a worthless life. If you truly died, Xia Manor's reputation would be restored; your death would be a blessing for Xia Manor. I would be grateful for your loyalty to the country! How could that be detrimental to me?”
“Haha… Xia Yuhan, do you think you can compete with me? You’re not even qualified!”
Madam was indeed as people described—a woman with great means and deep schemes—who easily dismantled Xia Yuhan's attack in just a moment.
In response, she forced a laugh and tried hard to let her laughter echo down the infinitely distant street.
In this uneasy moment, she needed strength and laughter to cover all her anxieties: "Hahaha... Madam is absolutely right!"
"Just..."
"Just what?"
In that brief moment, Xia Yuhan thought of her difficult situation. Was it Madam who set her up? Or was it the prince named Canglong Hui?
Regardless of whether it was them, Xia Yuhan's current predicament was inextricably linked to them!
"Madam might know who saved Yu Han today, right? That's right, it's Azure Dragon Kingdom Right Chancellor---Jiang Tingyu, Lord Jiang! Even the nobles in the palace might not have enough influence to request his help. Do you know why Yu Han could get his assistance?"
"Yu Han also wants to tell Madam, but this matter is something Yu Han cannot discuss freely, or perhaps Madam is not yet qualified to know the reason, so please forgive Yu Han for being unable to disclose it. For more chapters and faster updates, please visit."
A hint of surprise flashed in Madam's eyes because she had previously heard from her subordinates that the renowned Azure Dragon Kingdom Right Chancellor had saved her. At first, she didn't believe it; after all, she had heard rumors about Azure Dragon Kingdom Right Chancellor, that he was young and accomplished, unafraid of power and influence, and someone favored by the emperor.
What connection could such a prominent figure like the Azure Dragon Kingdom Right Chancellor have with Xia Yuhan?
However, now that Xia Yuhan mentioned it, she began to believe a little.
It seemed that this Xia Yuhan could not be touched! If she harmed Xia Yuhan, angering this rumored celestial-like figure with immense power, she would not be able to bear the consequences.
But if all of this was merely a coincidence that the Azure Dragon Kingdom Right Chancellor saved her, then it was also possible that she was just speaking carelessly here.
Even so, Madam still had to give up on her plan to drive away Xia Yuhan and her mother and ensure they were thoroughly disgraced and expelled from Xia Manor!
Because this gamble was one she could not afford. She would rather let Xia Yuhan off this time than risk everything for this woman.
Thinking of this, Madam's tone was no longer filled with the usual disdain and harshness: "Xia Yuhan, I will let you go for now. Don't think that just because you can stay in Xia Manor, everything is fine! You have two paths ahead of you; eventually, you will have to choose one!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhan let out a heavy sigh of relief in her heart: "You don't need to worry about us, Madam. If you worry too much for us mother and daughter, and end up with a few more wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, my Daddy will not like it when he comes back!"
"You!" The fierce look in Madam's eyes suddenly reappeared. However, considering the backing behind Xia Yuhan, she did not explode on the spot.
"Indeed, words that do not astonish will not cease until death!"
Thus, Xia Yuhan took Second Madam away under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Second Madam might have been frightened; after walking a few steps, she quietly tugged at Xia Yuhan's clothes and asked, "Yu Han, are we really going to do this?"
Noticing Second Madam's nervousness, Xia Yuhan lowered her voice to a whisper that only the two of them could hear and replied, "Mother, if you want to stay in Xia Manor and avoid being forced by Madam to do things against your will, this is the only way! Mother, don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered!"
Seeing the determination in Xia Yuhan's eyes, Second Madam felt reassured and nodded repeatedly, softly responding, "Alright! Yu Han, you have truly grown up. Even if I really have to... I feel at ease!"
"Mother, please don't talk nonsense. Let's go back to our room and discuss it in detail."
"Okay, okay!"
At this moment, Xia Yuhan was more nervous than anyone else; only she knew that she was already drenched in cold sweat.
She felt like a desperate gambler who could only stake everything she had as her bet for victory. Fortunately, in the first long battle back at Xia Manor, she won!
