"No... I dare not..." Jiang Yao shuddered with fear and instantly fell to the ground, her forehead pressed against the cold white marble floor.
Yun Xi looked at the humble figure on the ground indifferently, without any emotion changing at all.
"Go ahead."
“Yes… yes…”
Jiang Yao struggled to get up from the ground, mumbling something in a low voice, lowered her head, and took more than ten steps back with her back to Yun Xi. Only then did she dare to turn around and almost staggered as she "escaped" from the Lilong Pond.
When Jiang Yao's figure completely disappeared at the corner of the mountain road, a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a simple long dress and with a graceful and elegant temperament appeared silently beside Yun Xi.
"Grandma~" Yun Xi was startled, then she grabbed the person's arm in a scolding tone, "You are always like this, always startled."
Madam Yun lovingly stroked her granddaughter's long, smooth hair, her eyes still sharp as she looked in the direction Jiang Yao had disappeared. "That little girl just now had quite a bit of ill will towards you. Why is she still around?"
Yun Xi showed a trace of helplessness on her face: "Who made Xiao Zheng like her? The boy is fooled around by her. If I touch her now, won't it just drive Xiao Zheng away from me? It won't be too late to deal with him when he gets tired of her."
Madam Yun smiled, with a hint of sarcasm: "More than that, right? Are you still not giving up on that kid from the Gu family? What do you want to do by keeping his sister-in-law by your side?"
Yun Xi's cheeks immediately flushed, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's just a casual move. Who knows, it might be useful someday."
"You..." Old Madam Yun tapped her granddaughter's delicate nose, her tone helpless and indulgent.
The two of them cuddled together quietly for a moment, and Yun Xi suddenly spoke up, "Grandma, I understand Liang Qiushi's character, and I also know how madly Jiang Xue loves Gu Jinzhi! I originally thought Liang Qiushi would use Jiang Xue to kill Gu Jinzhi!"
She frowned, full of confusion, "But... Mr. Fei (Yun Zheng's protector) said that Jiang Xue has reached the Great Perfection of Blood Nourishing..."
Yun Xi looked at Old Madam Yun. "Do you think Grandmaster Jiang would agree to let a genius who has reached the Great Perfection be a scapegoat for Gu Jinzhi? Or is the marriage between Jiang Xue and him truly a normal one?"
"So what if it's a normal marriage? So what if it's an abnormal one?" Old Madam Yun did not directly answer her granddaughter's question, but asked meaningfully in return.
A cold light flashed in Yun Xi's eyes. "If Jiang Xue is Liang Qiushi's scapegoat, then I will do nothing and just watch the show... But... if she is not..."
She paused, a cold arc appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Then I'll make her a 'yes'!"
Madam Yun encouraged her, "Whatever you want to do, just do it. If the sky falls, your grandfather and I will hold it up."
