Chapter 277

Seeing this touching scene between mother and daughter, Yunxi felt bored and said, "Madam, I haven't had a proper stroll around the backyard yet. Could I take a walk by myself?"

Madam Yun had just noticed that her beloved daughter's expression was off, and she had been worried about how to get Yun Xi away. Now that Yun Xi had taken the initiative to speak, Madam Yun readily agreed: "Alright."

Watching Yunxi turn and leave, Yunwan finally couldn't hide her grievances anymore. Before she even reached the courtyard, she couldn't help but pour out all the grievances she had suffered.

“Mother, you don’t know, I originally thought that she was my second sister, after all. Although she was a concubine in the Marquis’s mansion, I was the older sister, so I tried to persuade my mother-in-law to let my second sister attend the family banquet on New Year’s Eve. But my second sister did something else. At the family banquet, she actually flirted with the distinguished guests in front of the whole family!”

Madam Yun was shocked: "How dare she be so bold?!"

"That's right. Speaking of which, my second sister and that distinguished guest are old acquaintances, and even childhood sweethearts. I didn't not understand at first, but it was at a banquet. I tried to explain for her, but she turned around and said that I was too focused on the distinguished guest. I ended up getting a lot of complaints!"

Madam Yun's gaze immediately became complicated.

No wonder she felt that Shen Rang's attitude towards Yun Wan was a bit strange today; it turned out it was because of Yun Xi!

"This girl is so ill-mannered!" Madam Yun couldn't help but say, "Wanwan, you've suffered so much!"

Yun Wan forced a smile: "Never mind, it's all in the past anyway, let's not talk about it anymore."

Seeing this, Madam Yun felt even more affection for her, and naturally, she became even more dissatisfied with Yun Xi.

Yun Ruiyang, who had been following at a distance, listened to their conversation, sharing the same thought as Madam Yun.

Yun Ruiyang knew that Yun Wan had returned and came over specifically to talk to her, but before he could even step forward, he heard these words.

Yunxi is so dishonest!

Yun Ruiyang paused, then turned around abruptly and went to find Yun Xi.

He was determined to teach that heartless, despicable girl a lesson!

——

At that time, Yunxi was wandering aimlessly in the garden.

The garden was almost deserted, with nothing to see. Yunxi pulled her cloak tighter and found a sheltered spot to sit down.

Jixiang looked around and said, "Auntie, shall I go and get you something warm?"

“No need,” Yunxi shook her head. “It’s so far away, the food will be cold by the time we get it. Anyway, it’s time for lunch, so let’s sit for a while.”

Jixiang nodded and said nothing more.

Just then, Yun Ruiyang, filled with rage, arrived.

Yunxi looked at him indifferently, without taking the initiative to greet him.

Yun Ruiyang strode towards her and said, "Do you have no heart?! Wanwan has already suffered so much because of you, yet she's still willing to speak up for you. It's one thing for you to be fickle, but you're also heartless and ungrateful, causing Wanwan to be scolded, and now you're acting like nothing happened!"

Yun Ruiyang's words were sharp and barbed, and Yun Xi's eyes gradually turned icy.

"What kind of look is that?!" Seeing Yun Xi staring at him without saying a word, Yun Ruiyang's anger burned even brighter.

"Perhaps Young Master Yun has misunderstood something," Yun Xi said calmly. "What does the young mistress's reprimand have to do with me?"

Yun Wan got scolded because she brought it on herself; what does it have to do with her?

Does that mean it was her fault that Yun Wan didn't kill her?

absurd!

"Don't play dumb!" Yun Ruiyang gritted his teeth. "Someone like you, who dares to do something but not take responsibility, does he even deserve to have the blood of the Yun family flowing in his veins?!"

He looked around and, seeing that no one was around, approached Yunxi step by step: "Today I'm going to teach you how to be a person!"
