The next morning, Granny Yang really went. Even though her injuries were still aching, she was eager to get things done.

Why?

Because she had promised Lord Sai that if she didn't get things done this time, she would lose her life.

She straightened her clothes at the door, looked around to make sure no one was passing by, and swaggered into the Snow Garden. As she entered, she saw Yunhe tidying up in the courtyard.

Hearing the footsteps, Yunhe instinctively looked up. When he saw Granny Yang, his eyes instantly filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces. Gripping the basket tightly, he stepped forward, his face full of annoyance, and said, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

Snap!

Granny Yang wasn't having any of it. She raised her hand and slapped Yunhe across the face: "How dare you, a lowly maid, speak to an old servant like that? You're asking for a beating!"

Yunhe touched his face in a daze, never expecting that Granny Yang was really capable and actually dared to lay a hand on him.

Just as Yunhe was about to teach Granny Yang a lesson, Qian Youxue came out of the house at some point. Seeing Yunhe being slapped by Granny Yang, Qian Youxue rushed forward in a fit of rage. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and Granny Yang didn't even see her before she was right in front of her.

Snap snap snap snap snap snap!

With lightning speed, Qian Youxue used both hands to save face for Yunhe in front of Granny Yang.

This time, it was Granny Yang's turn to be stunned. The young lady was just a good-for-nothing, so how could she be so fast, and with such force that Granny Yang was almost disoriented? By the time she fully realized what was happening, her face was already swollen like a pig's head.

Qian Youxue was already trying her best to control her impulse, and her movements weren't too forceful. If she had really used her full strength, this wretched woman would have been dead long ago.

Now was not the time to act impulsively. Lianxin's revenge was necessary, but it absolutely could not be done at the Qian family's residence. She knew this perfectly well, so she restrained herself and only slapped Granny Yang. Finally, she stopped when her hand started to ache.

Granny Yang slumped to the ground like a pig's head, looking utterly ridiculous. She stared at the young lady, unable to believe that this was really the young lady she knew.

"Get out! If I ever see you again, I'll kill you!" Qian Youxue spat out these words, one by one, and turned to walk into the house.

Granny Yang snapped out of her daze and, realizing what was happening, raised her hand and called out, "Wait! Doesn't Miss want to know why I've come here?"

"Get out!" Qian Youxue spat out a single word. She didn't want to hear anything about her mother anymore because the pain in her heart was unbearable.

Granny Yang got up from the ground, pushed aside Yunhe who was blocking her way, and went around to the young lady to block her way, saying, "Someone asked me to tell you that if you want to know the secret of the Qian family, you should meet at Dahe Restaurant."

The Secret of a Thousand Families!

Qian Youxue knew that the Qian family must have a secret, but who would know the secret of the Qian family? Why send Granny Yang to deliver the message? Could it be that Sai Miaoshou?

"So the young lady really has become smarter." When Granny Yang first returned, she didn't quite believe Chunhua's words, but now she does.

The young lady has changed. She's not a fool at all, or rather, she's been feigning madness all these years to survive in the Qian family. It's unbelievable that even the madam fell for her trick. It seems this young lady is no longer an easy target.

"If I don't become smarter, how can I survive?" Qian Youxue asked rhetorically.
