When they saw her, Xue Zhi and Han were both shocked.
Besides being shocked, Xue Zhi also felt a touch of nostalgia. Looking at Xue Huan walking in from the door, it was as if he saw the young Lin Lan walking towards him.
He couldn't help but stood up and walked towards her.
Han was shocked to find Xue Huan's face completely intact. How could this happen? Shouldn't her face have been bloody and mangled by her own scratches?
She cast her gaze at the personal maid behind her, her eyes full of questioning. The maid's face was horrified. She had indeed given the powder to Maid A.
In front of Xue Zhi and the old lady, Han Shi couldn't question the maid, so she could only give her a fierce look that said "I'll hold you accountable later".
The sound of Xue Zhi standing up made the old lady open her eyes. Seeing Xue Huan walking into the hall, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. However, compared with Xue Zhi and Han, her emotional management ability was obviously better, and her face did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations.
Xue Zhi, who had previously called Xue Huan a "wicked girl," suddenly changed his attitude when facing Xue Huan. "You... are Huan Huan?"
Xue Huan: “…”
She sat down on the chair, crossed her legs, and said in a relaxed manner, "What do you want me to do?"
There was no greeting, no respectful title, and he looked very rude.
The old lady frowned at this and slammed her palm on the solid Huanghuali wood: "Look at what you look like! You have absolutely no respect for your elders, how can you be so disrespectful!"
Xue Huan looked surprised and looked around the hall. "Your Excellency? Where are you? Why didn't I see you? I'm sorry, I grew up alone in the countryside, without a father or a mother. I grew up in a muddle. It was only when the Empress sent someone here that I learned that I was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changyang Mansion in the capital."
As soon as she said this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Xue Huan looked at Xue Zhi and said, "I guess you are Xue Zhi, Marquis of Changyang, my biological father. I have long forgotten everything about my childhood. I haven't seen you for so many years, so I really can't remember much. Please don't be offended."
Xue Zhi felt a pain in his heart when he heard what she said, and realized how big a mistake he had made in the past few years!
He actually abandoned Alan and his child to Pengcheng and ignored them for so many years!
Xue Zhi was filled with guilt, and all his belated fatherly love poured out. "Hanhuan, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have sent you to Pengcheng. You..."
The rest of the words were interrupted by the old lady's shout: "Alright!"
She looked at Xue Huan, her eyes somewhat gloomy, without any trace of compassion or warmth from her years of chanting Buddhist scriptures and eating vegetarian food.
"Xue Huan, as soon as you came back, you caused Cheng'er to burn his face and disturbed the entire Marquis' Mansion. With a physique like yours, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely not tolerate you. But you are at least of the Marquis' bloodline. Now that you are back, the Marquis' Mansion cannot kick you out and leave you wandering the streets. From now on, you should live in the family temple, eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, cultivate your body and mind, and pray for the Marquis' Mansion."
Xue Huan's future life was determined in a simple manner.
Xue Huan's expression was calm, neither frightened nor angry. "Sending me to the ancestral temple? What about my engagement with the prince?"
The old lady's eyes gleamed, "The engagement back then was simply something your mother forced upon the Empress. Now, it's time to cancel it. I'll go to the Empress and plead for you later, saying that you feel unworthy of the Crown Prince and have shaved your head to become a nun. Cancelling the engagement will be good for both you and the Crown Prince. Don't be so stubborn."
Xue Huan originally came to cancel the engagement, but the old lady's approach made her very unhappy.
She clapped her hands, seemingly praising the old lady's words, but in reality, her tone and expression were filled with sarcasm. "You're wrong. It's not that I'm unworthy of the Crown Prince, it's that the Crown Prince is unworthy of me. I was planning to cancel this engagement, but it wasn't you or anyone else who had nothing to do with it. I had to cancel it myself."
As Xue Huan finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.
Everyone present was shocked by her words and was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Han finally came to her senses and pointed at Xue Huan: "You, you are so arrogant! Who do you think you are? How dare you say that the Crown Prince is not worthy of you! Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror--"
Before she could finish her words, Xue Huan slapped her in the face from a distance, causing Han to turn her head away and her hair to fall apart.
"If you keep on cursing, I'll slap you every time you curse me." Xue Huan said, flexing her wrist.
Han was furious. "You bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will—"
"Pa!" Another loud slap landed on her face, leaving a distinct slap mark, forming a perfect symmetry with the previous slap.
Xue Zhi and the old lady looked at Xue Huan in shock. When had she acquired such strength? She could actually slap someone from a distance?
In other words, releasing the true energy? This can only be achieved by reaching the Zhenwu realm at least!
Could it be that Xue Huan is no longer useless?
The two looked at her carefully, but could not detect any fluctuations of true energy in her body.
Nonsense, of course there is no fluctuation of true energy, because Xue Huan is following a different path of cultivation from everyone else in this world - cultivating immortals.
What she cultivated was spiritual power.
Han was almost going crazy, staring at Xue Huan with eyes full of hatred, but the two consecutive slaps scared her so much that she didn't dare to pounce on her.
Xue Huan smiled slightly, "Anything else? If not, I'll go back. Oh, by the way, I won't go to the ancestral temple."
After saying this, he leisurely left the hall.
Xue Zhi and the other two were left alone, shocked and angry, unable to calm down for a long time.
"What a rebellion! This evil creature!" The old lady slammed the table and shouted angrily.
The pressure from his body spread out, causing the servants in the hall to bend over and tremble with their legs trembling.
After a while, Xue Zhi said, "Mom, I also think it's inappropriate to send Huanhuan to the ancestral temple. Let's not mention this matter anymore. Huanhuan finally came back, so don't let her become estranged from us."
Han almost laughed out loud. Looking at that bitch Xue Huan, has she ever been close to you?
Maybe he already hates you, his father, in his heart.
Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably relieved.
The old lady put away the anger on her face, twirled her Buddhist beads, and her expression returned to calm. All her emotions were suppressed in her heart, making it impossible to tell.
"I was inconsiderate just now. In that case, let her stay in the mansion."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
As she walked out of the hall, a crack appeared on the table behind her.
At the same time, a strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"I must kill this bitch!" Han said viciously after returning to the inner room.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both had murderous intentions towards Xue Huan.
Unfortunately, Xue Huan is not someone who can be bullied. Those who want to deal with her or kill her will often end up having their evil power rebound and be killed by her.
