What's it like to stand at the top of the food chain overnight? Even if... this food chain is poor and pitiful. Even if... you become a scourge that everyone avoids. Even if... there are all so...
Seeing this, Han Lei immediately spoke up, "Han Yun, don't be impulsive."
"Brother Han Lei," Han Yun said angrily, "this guy really deserves a beating, he has to be beaten."
He keeps calling people demons and cursing them, but doesn't he know who his aunt has harmed?
On the contrary, there are many benefits to sharing it.
“We can’t fight anymore,” Han Lei coughed lightly before speaking, “It’s not convenient now, but if we have the chance in the future, we can just put them in sacks and throw them up the mountain to feed the wolves.”
"That's a good idea," Han Yun said with a smile. "Just beating him up would be too easy on him!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan coughed twice to make her presence known.
"Auntie, Auntie," Han Yun's smile froze, "Why are you here?"
As she spoke, she winked at Han Lei pleadingly, signaling him to come to her rescue.
Feeling that Jiang Nuan wouldn't do anything to her younger brother, Han Lei simply pretended not to see it.
"Can't I come?"
"Of course not," Han Yun denied without hesitation, then paused and cautiously probed, "Did you just hear something?"
“I heard everything, starting from when he started swearing.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yun awkwardly rubbed his nose twice, "He forced me to do it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan didn't react. She stepped forward and asked the troublemaker, "Why do you think the Lady Protector of the Nation is a demon?"
"Why ask so many questions? She is who she is!"
"Has she ever done anything to harm you?"
"No!"
"Have you ever harmed your family?"
"No!"
"If that's the case, what right do you have to act on behalf of Heaven?"
Jiang Nuan was genuinely puzzled by this question.
From beginning to end, she never hurt anyone, nor did she do anything to harm them.
“What qualifications are needed to act on behalf of Heaven?” the man sneered. “She may not have harmed me, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t harmed others. If this continues, more and more people will definitely suffer.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan scoffed, "What if she hasn't harmed anyone else either?"
"That's impossible!"
The man seemed somewhat surprised, as if he had never thought about this question before, but his tone was firm and resolute.
"What's impossible about it?" Han Yun sneered. "How could a lady like you bother with such mortals?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan lowered her eyes.
Han Yun was wrong; she was calculating, extremely calculating.
Having never done anything to harm anyone, yet bearing so much infamy for no reason, not pursuing the matter is already the ultimate act of kindness.
She will not allow anyone to take advantage of her, no matter who has echoed these rumors.
"That's what everyone in the capital is saying. If she's innocent, why is my luck so bad that I can't seem to win at gambling?"
"Can't you be reasonable? What does your loss have to do with anyone else?" Han Yun sneered before speaking. "You even dare to slander the Lady Protector of the Nation, who gave you the guts?"
With that, Han Yun stepped on the man, pressing his foot directly against his chest. "If you don't apologize today, I'll break your legs!"
Han Yun was somewhat irritable.
These people are like dogs, impossible to tame. They eat fine, sandy salt every day, and no one refused when the medicine was applied before. They dare to think they are righteous after hearing a few rumors. Who gave them that right?
My aunt is such a good person. She has a good temper and is kind. She is capable but doesn't look down on others.
However, because of some unfounded rumors, he was cursed every day and even threatened with violence.
Are these people blind in both their eyes and their hearts?
"You're bullying me!" the man said, bursting into tears with red eyes.
“Crying won’t help,” Han Yun said, truly determined to prove this man right. “If you don’t give me a proper explanation, don’t even think about leaving here unscathed.”
"I... I didn't mean to," the man stammered. "I've been having bad luck lately, and I've lost all my winter coats. I just wanted to vent my anger on someone." And maybe he could extort some money from him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to slaughter their neighbor's dog.
Hearing this, a surge of resentment welled up in Han Yun's chest, and he stomped his foot down hard, yelling, "Bastard!"
"Han Yun," Jiang Nuan beckoned, "come here first."
"Auntie," Han Yun said reluctantly, "I'll deal with the person first."
"It's not worth arguing with this kind of trash," Han Lei said in a deep voice. "It's not worth it!"
"Fine then." Han Yun kicked the man hard before turning around.
Then, with a smile, she said, "Auntie, what brings you here?"
"Come and see the prosperity of the capital," Jiang Nuan said with a smile in her eyes. "Han Yun, how come I didn't know you were so impressive?"
Back in the Huang family, she was adorable and easily embarrassed, like a rabbit, so she thought this person really looked like that.
Han Yun blushed deeply at the teasing, lowered her head, and said weakly, "I didn't want to either, it was all their fault for making me angry."
Even the young master often speaks his mind incoherently, so where is his prestige?
"Auntie knows your good intentions," Jiang Nuan said with great emotion, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"
Han Yun's actions slightly eased Jiang Nuan's somewhat world-weary mood. Admittedly, there are indeed many heartless and ungrateful people in the world, but not all efforts go unrewarded.
"Brother," the man said boldly, sensing the easing of tension, "I've admitted my mistake and promised not to cause trouble for the Lady Protector. Can you let me go back? I have important business to attend to."
It's not easy to trick a bookworm into the gambling den so that we can take advantage of the chaos and have a couple of rounds. If we miss this chance, who knows when we'll have a second one?
"Let you go back?" Han Yun sneered. "What are you thinking? Do you think Juquanlou is the place that wants to..."
"Xiao Tian," Han Lei interjected at the right moment, "go and take him to the Ministry of Justice prison. Remember to tell the jailers to treat him well."
"Understood, Brother Lei, don't worry."
"You can't do this!" The man panicked completely upon hearing this. "I haven't broken the law, why are you sending me to jail?"
"Ignore him," Han Yun said impatiently. "Hurry up and take him away. He'll want to attack as soon as he sees you."
“Monsters, you are all monsters,” the man shouted. “Just wait, I’ll burn you all to death sooner or later.”
"Don't mind it, Auntie," Han Yun carefully reassured her. "That's how gamblers are. When they lose, they'll say anything. There's no need to take it to heart."
"Yes," Jiang Nuan looked at everyone apologetically, "I've dragged you all into this."
Everyone in the hall remained calm; clearly, this kind of thing happened frequently, and they were all used to it.
She only encountered it once, and she was already in a terrible mood; others must have felt even worse.
“Absolutely not,” Han Yun said angrily. “This has nothing to do with my aunt. If we’re going to settle scores, we should go after those powerful families who spread the rumors. They deserve to die!”
To spare no effort in erasing such a good person is utterly depraved.
"Don't worry," Jiang Nuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "they will pay the price for their actions."
“It would definitely be the best,” Han Yun clenched his fist. “Bad people deserve to be punished.”
"right!"
