Mu Hanyan had already finished speaking when she suddenly drew her sword and slashed at Kuang Guangyi. Her movements were so swift, so fast that Kuang Guangyi had no time to dodge. But someone else was even faster: Ye Lanxun had already struck Kuang Guangyi with his sword. Kuang Guangyi screamed in agony and was slammed against the wall, blood spurting from his mouth, spraying all over the wall and the ground. His internal organs were dislocated, and the pain made his eyes black and he almost fainted.
Mu Zexian and the others stared at the scene in a daze. Everything happened so fast that they had not yet come to their senses.
"Speak, or die?" Ye Lanxuan's voice seemed to contain ice chips.
Mu Zexian and the others flinched. Although they didn't know what was going on, they weren't fools. From the situation, they knew Kuang Guangyi had ulterior motives for wanting to see Mu Hanyan, and had done something sinister to her, seemingly successfully. Watching Ye Lanxun's fury, they felt the temperature in the private room drop significantly, becoming icy and oppressive. So, they all fell silent, huddled in a corner, shivering.
"Why, why..." Kuang Guangyi spat out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground, looking up at Mu Hanyan with hatred, "Why can you people get so much without paying anything? And what about me? I'm full of hope, working so hard, but I get nothing. Thanks to my cousin, I finally earned some resources and have been practicing hard until now, but the head of the family still refuses to look me in the eye. People like Princess Jinhua deserve to die. Why? My cousin is loyal to her, but she brings my cousin down to earth because of a small mistake. And the so-called small mistake is just because she spoke up for her!"
"So... you hate your own background, you hate that you can't get something for nothing, and you also hate Princess Jinhua for cutting off your cultivation resources?" Mu Hanyan opened her lips slightly and said sarcastically.
"No, it's not like that!" Kuang Guangyi retorted excitedly, but it aggravated the wound on his body and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Why not? Look at your disgusting expression of unwillingness. Do you think you are particularly brave and righteous? In order to avenge your cousin, you used me, a notorious playboy, to strike at Princess Jinhua. You got rid of the evil and avenged yourself. It's really killing two birds with one stone." Mu Hanyan laughed. "Do you think I'm right?"
Kuang Guangyi was stunned. Every word Mu Hanyan said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
Isn’t this the fact?
Isn't it gratifying to see a playboy like Mu Hanyan being punished?
Princess Jinhua, such a heartless and ungrateful villain, deserves to be offended by such a playboy and have her reputation damaged, doesn't she?
"Get lost." Mu Hanyan didn't want to waste any time on this bastard. It was more interesting for someone like him to live and face what was to come, wasn't it? What did it mean to gain so much without giving anything? She had reached this point step by step, paying so much. Who knew how much she had endured? Not all the children of aristocratic families were so lucky to have the resources to cultivate; most were abandoned. Mu Hanyan didn't even bother to care about Princess Jinhua and her maid. Princess Jinhua had tried to scheme against her, but... it hadn't worked out. Just look at Ye Lanxun's attitude towards her.
Kuang Guangyi looked at Mu Hanyan in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Mu Hanyan would let him go so easily.
Would Mu Hanyan be so kind?
Of course not.
When Kuang Guangyi struggled to get up and walked to the door, Mu Hanyan said calmly, "I will let my grandfather and the head of the Kuang family explain what happened today. Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Kuang Guangyi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mu Hanyan with horror.
Mu Zexian suddenly rushed out at this time, kicked Kuang Guangyi's butt, and yelled: "I'll help you get out!"
Then Kuang Guangyi rolled downstairs.
Mu Zexian and the others were extremely nervous during this meal. No one had expected something like this to happen. No one had expected Kuang Guangyi to be so audacious as to use them and plot against their most respected brother, Han Yan. Now, what should they do?
Everyone looked at each other, filled with guilt, annoyance, regret, and fear...
"Okay, you didn't want this to happen. Have you all eaten and drunk enough? If so, go back." Mu Hanyan didn't mind this and waved her hand to let everyone go home.
"Then, what about you, Brother Hanyan..." Mu Zeran had just asked this when Mu Zexian elbowed him in the chest, causing him to grimace in pain. He looked at Mu Zexian, confused, and Mu Zexian nodded in Ye Lanxuan's direction. Mu Zeran suddenly realized that with Ye Lanxuan around, there was nothing they needed to worry about. So no one dared to linger any longer and hurried downstairs to leave.
Mu Hanyan stood up, paid the bill, and walked down the street with Ye Lanxun. The night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness on her face.
"Why are you here?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Princess Jinhua wrote to me saying someone pretended to be me and asked her out. I didn't want to pay any attention to it, but I found out the place was where you were having dinner tonight, so I rushed over. Luckily you're okay." Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done. Ye Lanxuan was glad that he had come, otherwise what would happen if his Hanyan encountered such a situation? Even though he knew that Hanyan would not sit idly by and wait for death with her abilities, he still couldn't control his worry and fear.
"Don't worry, it's all right. These clowns." Mu Hanyan curled her lips. She wasn't a true dandy, nor was she a man. The man Princess Jinhua met was Ye Lanxun, and her actions were destined to be a joke. If Ye Lanxun hadn't come, would her identity as a woman have been exposed earlier? What would Princess Jinhua's expression be if she framed her and found out she was actually a woman? It was truly pitiful. Mu Hanyan felt a false sympathy for Princess Jinhua.
"When you go out in the future, you should take Ang Ang with you. If anything happens, tell me in time." Ye Lanxuan said, taking Ang Ang out of his arms and handing it to Mu Hanyan.
Ang Ang's eyes were originally hazy, and it was obvious that he had not woken up yet, but as soon as he saw Mu Hanyan, he became energetic, shouting "Ang Ang Ang" and threw himself into Mu Hanyan's arms.
"Follow Hanyan from now on, and notify me immediately if anything happens." Ye Lanxuan said to Ang Ang.
"Okay, okay, okay." He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, but in his heart he was muttering unconvincedly, "She's my own wife, I know how to protect her."
…
After Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun returned to the Mu Mansion, Ye Lanxun went back to the courtyard while Mu Hanyan went to see Mu Beichen and told him everything that had happened tonight. Mu Beichen was so angry that he smashed a table.
