When Yun Xiao heard from his grandmother that Han Yiyi was a discarded woman whom even a scholar wouldn't want, his expression turned grim.
“Grandmother, she is not what you think. She is a very kind and optimistic woman. If you meet her…”
"Shut up……".
"She's not worthy to let me know what kind of woman she is. From this day forward, you are not allowed to leave the capital again. As for that chili pepper business, if you don't want to lose it, find someone trustworthy to take charge of it. In short, you are not allowed to see that abandoned woman again..."
Before Yun Xiao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Old Madam Yun. Seeing his unpleasant expression, she knew that he did not intend to give up on the woman. So, a fierce glint flashed in Old Madam Yun's eyes, and she continued to speak.
"If I find out that you secretly left Kyoto, I will make that abandoned woman disappear forever..."
Upon hearing Madam Yun's words, Yun Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at his grandmother with disbelief, not understanding why his usually kind grandmother would say such a thing.
Seeing her grandson looking at her with disbelief, a trace of heartache flashed in Madam Yun's eyes.
But she knew her grandson's personality best. Once he set his mind on something, he wouldn't give it up easily. If she wasn't firm in her stance and cut off his hopes, he would definitely try every means to marry that abandoned woman back into the Yun family.
However, at this time, Madam Yun did not consider whether Han Yiyi was willing to marry into the Yun family. In her opinion, any normal woman would not want to marry into the Yun family, especially a divorced woman, who would be even more eager.
Seeing that his grandmother had closed her eyes, Yun Xiao knew she didn't want to hear him anymore. Her fingers, clenched tightly under her sleeves, cracked as she turned and left the old lady's courtyard. However, her face was terribly gloomy as she left.
In fact, just as Old Master Yun understands his grandson Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao naturally understands his grandmother as well.
Therefore, he knew that what Madam Yun had said about making Han Yiyi disappear was not just to scare him, and that was why he looked at Madam Yun with disbelief.
As Madam Yun watched Yun Xiao's departing figure, her eyes narrowed slightly, filled with gloom.
Seeing this, the old woman on duty couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.
"Madam, why are you so angry with the young master? You're just a woman who can't be presented to the world. Since the young master likes you, find a way to change your status and bring you in as a concubine or maid. I think the young master will get tired of you after a while, and then we can find a greasy woman to get rid of you. That way, it won't hurt the relationship between you and the young master..."
Hearing what the old lady Yun was saying, she couldn't help but sigh.
"That was my plan too, but I never expected him to say that he wanted to marry that abandoned woman. You don't understand his personality. If you don't put an end to his thoughts soon, the consequences will be unbearable..."
As if remembering something, he asked a question.
"That abandoned woman was raising her two children all by herself..."
"Yes, that's what the letter said. It said that the two children had been separated from their biological father and that she was raising them alone..."
Hearing the words of the old nanny beside her, Madam Yun's eyes narrowed slightly again.
She knew that to completely extinguish her grandson's hopes, she would have to work on that abandoned woman. She slowly picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and then spoke again.
"Now that this abandoned woman is so capable, her ex-husband surely won't despise her. Besides, children need their biological parents to be together to be happy, right..."
Upon hearing Madam Yun's words, the nanny beside her nodded in agreement.
"Then this old servant will send someone to do it..."
"Hmm, and I've also heard that there's been another war in Yanlang City recently..."
The old woman didn't know how the conversation about the abandoned woman had somehow led to the mention of Yanlang City, but she still replied anyway.
"Yes, they have already been driven back by General Nangong..."
"Hmm, Dongli is ambitious and treacherous. I imagine it won't be long before there's another war there. I think that abandoned woman must have found life in a place like Ping'an Town too boring, which is why she started to seduce my Xiao'er. I think Yanlang City is quite lively. A restless slut like her should go to a place like that. As for whether she lives or dies, that's up to fate..."
Madam Yun, you want to send Han Yi, her ex-husband, and their two children to the front lines so that Yun Xiao won't be able to find them.
Furthermore, if they were lucky enough to have their whole family killed by the Dongli people, at least they would have some company, and they would have done a good deed.
The maidservant, upon hearing her mistress's words, understood her mistress's meaning, nodded in agreement, and then turned and left.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Yun Xiao went directly to Steward Liu.
Seeing Yun Xiao's gloomy face, Manager Liu knelt down before Yun Xiao could speak.
"Young Master, it's all my fault..."
"This is none of your business, get up..."
Before Steward Liu could finish speaking, Yun Xiao interrupted him, then spoke in a somewhat weary voice.
“Send a few reliable people to Ping’an Town and have them secretly protect the two children.”
When Manager Liu heard Yun Xiao's words, his heart sank. He understood that the young master was worried that the old lady would take action against Madam Han and her two children. He sighed inwardly, but dared not delay, and immediately turned and left the study.
After everyone left, a layer of mist gradually gathered in Yun Xiao's eyes.
The next morning, after Old Madam Yun had finished her breakfast, without waiting for her grandson to come and pay his respects, a look of displeasure appeared in her eyes. She turned to the nanny beside her and asked.
"Xiao'er, did you leave the manor today...?"
"Reporting to Madam, the young master's servant came early this morning to say that the young master has something to attend to today and will come to pay his respects to you another day..."
"Hmph, he's got something on his mind. I bet he doesn't even want to see this old woman like me..."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Madam Yun slammed the teacup she had just picked up onto the table. Due to the force, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
Upon seeing this, the maids in the room quickly lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Are they all made of wood? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and clean them up..."
Only after hearing what the nanny said did the maids dare to step forward and tidy up.
“Old man, you don’t need to be angry. The young master is still young. I think his feelings for that little slut were just a passing fancy. Now that he has returned to the capital, he won’t see that little slut again. I think he will forget about her in a few days…”
