Li Yunyan asked Cuixiu to pick out the most luxurious outfit for her.
Fortunately, she was taller and had a more prominent figure than Li Yunwu. No one else in the mansion could wear her clothes, so they have been preserved intact to this day.
The luxurious silk and satin she wore gave Li Yunyan an imposing aura, and every move she made exuded a natural and natural grandeur.
A smile played on her lips as she raised an eyebrow at her reflection in the mirror with satisfaction.
"Come on! Go and pay your respects to my dear grandmother!"
Li Yunyan's grandmother's courtyard was about a ten-minute walk from here. Along the way, the three of them, with their unusual demeanor, attracted the attention of many servants.
I heard that the young lady was carried back by the Grand Marshal of the Army yesterday.
That's the Grand Marshal of the Army!
He was second only to the emperor in the imperial court, holding a position of immense power!
The young lady looks radiant today, walking with her head held high and chest out, appearing even more elegant than before.
Sure enough, he's found a powerful backer!
These servants, always quick to change their tune, rushed forward to greet the young lady.
Li Yunyan nodded casually, and without stopping or saying a word, walked directly into the old lady's courtyard.
Just as they reached the courtyard gate, they were stopped by Granny Tian, who was in charge of the old lady's affairs.
"Please wait, young lady. Allow me to go in and inform your master!"
Granny Tian was the old lady's confidante, and relying on the old lady's trust, she often gave Li Yunyan a hard time. Granny Tian was the one who carried out all the punishments that the original owner of this body had suffered.
He was one of her enemies.
She spoke to Li Yunyan with an arrogant and contemptuous tone, despite being almost a head shorter than her, she insisted on holding her head high and looking down on people.
From Li Yunyan's perspective, she seemed quite ridiculous.
However, she is not yet the main character today, and she is not qualified for Li Yunyan to make trouble at this time.
Li Yunyan's hearing was also at its best. She heard Li Yunwu and the old lady talking and laughing in the courtyard, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
That's perfect! It saves her the trouble of dealing with it in batches!
She ignored Granny Tian's words and walked straight in.
Granny Tian cried out in a voice like a rooster's crow, "Young Miss! How dare you barge in without the Old Madam's permission? You have no manners at all!"
Just as she was about to chase after her, Cuixiu stopped her, saying, "Granny Tian, our young lady has something to discuss with the old lady. We servants should refrain from meddling in other people's business."
When stopped by the maid she usually looked down on, Granny Tian wanted to slap her.
Cui Xiu easily grasped the old woman's wrist, which provoked Cui Xiu's anger. She said in a low voice, "If Granny Tian keeps pestering me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Granny Tian was used to being fawned over by her subordinates; when had she ever been treated like this?
She has always looked down on the people from the main branch of the family. No matter how glamorous they are outside, they are all like paper tigers in front of the old lady. She is not afraid of them at all!
"You little hussy! You dare to stop me? You've really gone too far! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Snap!"
With a clever move, Cuixiu dislocated her jaw.
"Huh? Uh! Ah! Ahh!!"
Granny Tian was speechless for a moment, only a single angry sound came from her throat.
Her hands frantically clutched her dislocated jaw, trying to scream but unable to utter a sound. Her face was flushed with anger, her eyes glaring intently at Cuixiu, as if trying to bore a hole through her.
Cuixiu didn't even glance at her, following closely behind her young mistress.
Finally, her ears were at peace. Li Yunyan took a moment to turn around and give Cuixiu a thumbs-up.
Passing through the front porch, around the artificial hill in the courtyard, and then past a lush ancient tree, you arrive at the main hall of the old lady.
The talking inside had long since stopped, suggesting that the people inside had heard Granny Tian's rooster crow earlier.
Just as she was about to step into the room, an unidentified object flew towards Li Yunyan's feet.
With a slight turn and a kick of her toe, the object flew out and shattered right in front of her.
The speed was so fast that even Cui Xiu didn't have time to react.
"ah!!!"
An old woman who looked like a thousand-year-old tree demon sat in the main seat, her hand on her heart, as if she had been greatly frightened!
How could I not be frightened?
The teacup was originally intended to be thrown at Li Yunyan's feet to give her a hard time, but she kicked it back untouched, smashing it at her own feet with a loud bang.
Old Madam Li glared angrily and directly confronted Li Yunyan, shouting, "This is outrageous! You beast! Kneel down!"
If it were the old Li Yunyan, she would probably be trembling with fear by now. Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, she had to kneel down no matter how unwilling she was, as her grandmother told her to.
But as for Li Yunyan now...
What is kneeling?
(Ahem, scratch that! Let's be more polite!) I'm not even afraid of zombies, so why would I be afraid of you, a tree spirit?
She looked up and saw Li Yunwu standing next to the tree demon, smiling smugly.
Is this a case of not even pretending to be sisterly?
It seems that the three slaps yesterday were too light. She still had the energy to complain. Did she think that no matter what she did, she couldn't go against her "grandmother"?
hehe!
Li Yunyan took a few big strides forward, grabbed Li Yunwu, turned her around, faced the tree demon, and kicked her in the back of the knee.
The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion!
Li Yunwu knelt down with a "thud!"
Li Yunyan crossed her arms and said with exasperation, "Little sister, you've made Grandmother so angry. She told you to kneel, why aren't you kneeling? You really don't know any manners!"
