Chapter 408 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 8

Granny Li gritted her teeth and had no choice but to do it herself.

She swung the teapot in her hand and smashed it at Xi Yao.

Xi Yao tilted her head to avoid the teapot and took a step forward.

He grabbed Granny Li by the collar with his left hand and slapped her twice cleanly with his right.

Two sharp cracking sounds rang out, making Granny Li see stars and causing blood to seep from the corner of her mouth.

Xi Yao let go, and Granny Li collapsed to the ground like a tattered sack, covering her mouth and whimpering.

In just a few breaths, several people were sprawled out in the hall, groans of pain echoing throughout.

Old Madam Wang lay paralyzed on the couch, trembling all over.

She looked at Xi Yao with a terrified expression, her lips trembling as she couldn't utter a complete sentence:

"You, you...you..."

Xi Yao patted her sleeves, straightened the slightly crooked hair ornament, and gave Old Madam Wang a bright smile.

"Oh, Madam, your servants are so unruly. I was just giving them a little talking-to. You don't need to thank me too much."

As for the food, I imagine there are too many people in the Marquis's residence who don't know the proper etiquette. In that case, let them go hungry for a few days. I'll go and tidy up the kitchen for you right now."

After saying that, she led the dumbfounded Xiaomei out of the main hall with an air of nonchalance.

Behind them, Old Madam Wang's scream echoed throughout the courtyard:

"Guards! Quickly fetch the Marquis back! This wicked woman is causing chaos!"

Upon hearing the voice, Xi Yao merely raised an eyebrow, completely unconcerned, and instead turned to instruct Xiao Mei:

"Go outside the mansion and buy some food, buy a lot."

After saying that, he handed her some loose silver.

Xiaomei took the silver, hesitated, and said, "Madam, about today's matter..."

This is going to be difficult to resolve.

Since the lady's family isn't here, who will support her?

However, the lady's movements when she hit someone were so swift and powerful; she looked very formidable.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Xi Yao waved her hand. "Go on, or I'll starve to death."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Hearing that her master was hungry, Xiaomei didn't hesitate any longer and turned to run away.

Xi Yao herself leisurely walked into the main kitchen and resumed her old job amidst the horrified gazes of the group of people.

Pour in the oil and turn on the heat.

He clapped his hands, leaving behind a chorus of screams, and turned back to the yard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Han Yunzhao frowning and looking outside.

His expression gradually relaxed when he saw the person return, and he strode forward to greet them.

"Miss Xia, are you alright?"

When Han Yunzhao heard that Xi Yao had gone to pay her respects, he wanted to go with her several times, but he was afraid of disturbing her.

She had a very difficult time living in this mansion.

The arrogant and rude manner of the old woman in the courtyard this morning, coupled with the fact that no one brought breakfast for a long time, gave a glimpse into the situation.

"What could be wrong with me?" Xi Yao shrugged. "I'm just a little hungry. Yun Zhao, are you hungry?"

"I'll go out and buy some breakfast," Han Yunzhao said, preparing to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xi Yao grabbed him. "Xiao Mei has already gone out, you don't need to go."

Han Yunzhao lowered his eyes and looked at the slender, white fingers on his forearm, lost in thought for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Xi Yao blinked and asked in confusion.

Why do you look a little down?

Suddenly she thought of something.

"996, will Yun Zhao's memories return?"

After all, the poison had been neutralized, and she had given him a rejuvenation pill, so now he didn't have a single hidden injury on his body.

No, right?

Even I'm not sure about the 996 work schedule.

"Judging from the way the big shot looks, it doesn't seem like he's remembered."

"Is that so?" Xi Yao asked thoughtfully.

Han Yunzhao asked in a low voice, "Miss Xia, are you really going to get a divorce?"

"Yes." Xi Yao raised her eyes, trying to see the look in his eyes. "Xue Pingzhi and I are just forcibly tied together. A divorce would be better for everyone."

"If we get a divorce, Miss Xia, where would you like to go? Go home?"

"I'll go home to see my parents first, and then I'll decide where to go next."

Han Yunzhao's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"What?" Xi Yao laughed. "You're planning to elope with me after my divorce."

"How could you talk about yourself like that?" Han Yunzhao took a small step back, secretly hiding the freed hand behind his back.

Some people experience numbness and fever.

He even felt his face getting hot.

Elopement...

Xi Yao just looked at him silently without saying a word.

Han Yunzhao felt extremely uncomfortable watching this.

"I...I'll go get some water to wash up first."

After saying that, he turned and fled towards his room.

That silhouette looked like it was fleeing in disarray.

Xi Yao smiled gently and then returned to her room.

Not long after, Xiaomei returned with breakfast.

The belated breakfast was finally beginning.

As soon as Xue Pingzhi stepped out of the palace gates after court, he saw a servant from the Marquis's residence rushing towards him.

"My lord, something terrible has happened at the manor!"

Xue Pingzhi's expression changed, and he quickly got into the carriage and hurried back.

Before even reaching the gate of the mansion, wisps of black smoke could be seen.

"What's going on?!"

Xue Pingzhi jumped off the carriage, rushed to the gate, and grabbed the gatekeeper's collar.

"Lord, Lord Marquis!" The gatekeeper trembled. "The kitchen is on fire, and everyone is putting it out."

"Is the old lady alright?"

"The old lady is fine, and no one in the manor was injured."

Xue Pingzhi pushed open the gatehouse and headed straight for Madam Wang's courtyard.

"My lord! My lord is back!" Granny Li almost burst into tears of joy.

"Pingzhi?" Old Madam Wang, her face pale, got out of bed, tears streaming down her face before she could speak. "Pingzhi, you're finally back. Xia Shi has gone mad. She beat up a whole room of maids and servants, and then she set the kitchen on fire."

Xue Pingzhi looked utterly astonished. "Mother, are you serious?"

He doesn't believe it.

Half a year after Xia entered the family, she didn't dare to speak loudly.

And he has always been very respectful to his mother, how could he possibly do such a thing?

"My lord, it's true!"

With her face swollen and tears streaming down her face, Granny Li recounted what had happened.

After she finished speaking, Madam Wang began to cry.

It was obvious that she meant for Xue Pingzhi to deal with Xi Yao.

But Xue Pingzhi is still somewhat dazed.

If he hadn't seen that the kitchen was actually burned down, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Pingzhi, you must teach her a lesson. She's really gone too far."

"Disrespecting her mother-in-law, mistreating servants, and damaging the Marquis's property deserves to be punished according to family rules, including kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. Furthermore, she should also pay for the repairs to the kitchen."

Xue Pingzhi was silent for a moment, comforted his mother for a while, and then turned to go to Xi Yao's courtyard.

It was already past 9 AM, and Xi Yao and Han Yunzhao had almost finished their breakfast.

Xiaomei had just finished cleaning up the dishes and left.

Xi Yao poured herself and Han Yunzhao a cup of tea. "The Marquis's residence might not be very peaceful in the next few days. You don't need to worry about anyone's feelings. If anyone offends you, just fight back. Don't worry about me."

Anyway, his martial arts skills have been restored now.

Han Yunzhao immediately thought of the morning greetings and the fire at the Marquis's residence.

He looked at the gentle and quiet person opposite him, and was about to say something when the door was pushed open forcefully.
