Chapter 65: Returning to My Hometown

  "Ah!" The madam suddenly realized: "Yue'er hurry in, your father is waiting for you."

  Then I maintained a perfect smile as I followed Madame into the mansion.

  My face is about to be smiled stiff!

  It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the room where my so-called father was. This prime minister's mansion is too big! I originally thought that Ying Moyu's mansion could be considered large, but now that I've seen my father's, I immediately realize how frugal Ying Moyu is in comparison!

  Led by Mrs. Dà into the room, only the second lady and Hantan Yue's second brother and third sister followed in.

  Looking at the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed with a towel covering his face, pale complexion and constant coughing, I feel that he seems to be full of energy and has no signs of illness.

  "Master, Yue'er has arrived," said the madam.

  "Alright, daughter, you've finally come back," he said with a series of coughs. The old madam was startled and quickly stepped forward to pat the prime minister's chest. The second madam rushed out shouting, "Get the imperial physician! The master is coughing again!"

  While everyone was busy and flustered, I just stood by and watched the commotion.

  It wasn't until the imperial physician arrived and helped the prime minister stop his cough that Madame thought of me. She walked up to me and said, "Yue'er, your father is too tired, why don't you go back to your own room first?" After saying this, she called a maid to take me out.

  I followed Ya Niang to Han Tai Yue's former room and found that it was still nicely decorated, fresh and elegant.

  I dismissed the maid and had just sat down to have a cup of tea when an unexpected guest arrived.

  "Hey, your father's condition is getting worse and you're here drinking tea! You're really filial!"

  "Third sister, you said it yourself that Father's condition has worsened. Do you have nothing better to do than come to my room and belittle me? Aren't you even more idle?"

  The third sister at the door was speechless after I scolded her, and she had to walk into the room and sit down beside me: "I heard that on your first night of marriage, fourth sister, you took poison and tried to kill yourself. Is this true?"

  "Third sister, don't hit people in the face and don't expose their shortcomings. Don't you understand this principle?"

  "Hmph!" But unexpectedly, Third Sister's face changed in an instant: "It was clearly me who was supposed to marry Young Master Ying back then. In terms of seniority, it wasn't your turn yet! At that time, Father didn't agree, and you even said you would cut off ties with Father. How is it that now you still have the face to come back?"

  Xiao Qian couldn't bear it anymore, took a step forward and said: "Third Miss, the madam is your fourth sister after all, she's the wife of the current prime minister. You speak so disrespectfully, if Prime Minister Ying finds out, you'll probably bring trouble upon yourself!"

  "Alright, even a little servant girl like you dares to scold me? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll become completely lawless!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he raised his hand and slapped Xia Qian.

  "My face suddenly fell: 'Third sister, don't be too presumptuous!'"

  "Ha! How's that? I think this maid has no remorse, she still needs to be beaten!" As soon as the words were spoken, her hand was raised and ready to strike.

  I swiftly got up and grabbed her hand, raised my hand and slapped her back, at the moment of her astonishment, I kicked her in the abdomen with my foot, only to hear her let out a strange cry "Ah!" before falling to the ground.

  I turned around and looked at Xiaoxian with concern: "Does it hurt?"

  Xiao Qian shook her head, her eyes still fixed on Third Miss, her gaze looking exceptionally angry.

  I glared at San Jie on the ground and snorted, "My people, when did it become your turn to lecture me? This time is just a small warning for you. Next time, don't blame me for not being kind to my relatives!"

  The three sisters couldn't believe that their fourth sister, who had always been gentle and weak-willed, could change so quickly. She gave us a fierce glare, then turned around and ran out the door with a swish of her sleeve.

  Xiao Qian furrowed her brow in concern: "Madam, is this right?"

  "What's wrong?" I glanced at the door: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they offend me, I'll give them three points of mercy. If they offend me again, I'll retaliate with one needle. If they still offend me, they will die without a whole body! Next time if she doesn't know what's good for her, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
