Xia Yaqin continued to ask, "What niece? I don't seem to remember having any nieces. When I left the Xia family, my younger brother wasn't even married yet. Explain yourself."
"That's your brother's daughter. She'll be 14 this year and ready to get married."
Xia Yaqin flew into a rage and pointed at the guard, cursing loudly:
“You bunch of beasts, you’re all beasts! Tang Shaorong is already in his fifties or sixties. You’re going to marry a girl under the age of 14 to him just to get close to the Tang family. It was me back then, and now it’s my niece. You all deserve to die.”
Seeing his mother's anger, Qin Feng's murderous aura grew stronger, making the guards feel as if they were in the deepest hell. Their hearts trembled, their bodies shook uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured down their backs.
Qin Feng coldly commanded, "Take us in."
The guard was about to refuse when Qin Feng's next words rang in his ears.
"If you still want to live."
The guard trembled, quickly shut his mouth, and led them to Xia Yunliang's courtyard.
The guard's screams had attracted many members of the Xia family. Looking at the guard who was covering his face, they asked:
"Uncle Wang, what happened? What happened to your face? Who are these people? Did they hit you? They have some nerve to cause trouble in my Xia family."
"Who are you people, daring to cause trouble in my Xia family? Are you looking for death?"
Uncle Wang, that's the title the Xia family uses for the guards.
Upon seeing someone arrive, Uncle Wang, the guard, immediately gained confidence. He pointed at Qin Feng and said:
"It was this wild boy who threatened me to bring them into the mansion, and this woman is Xia Yaqin. She's the one who caused us to be targeted by the Tang family. We are in this predicament today because of her."
Qin Feng shook his head, feeling a chill run down his spine. This man was truly courting death, but Xia Yaqin held him back.
"Xiao Feng, don't be impulsive. If you can resolve this properly, don't hurt anyone."
Qin Feng suppressed his killing intent and nodded.
When the rest of the Xia family heard this, they all glared at Qin Feng and the others with disdain and arrogance.
"It was because she rejected the marriage proposal from the young master of the Tang family that our relationship with the Tang family became very strained."
"How dare she come back?"
"That troublemaker! She actually hoped to marry Young Master Tang, but she refused. She really doesn't know what's good for her."
Qin Feng thought to himself: If it weren't for the fact that you're from the Niang clan, I would have slapped you all to death. What's with all the swagger? A bunch of cowardly bullies who prey on the weak.
Xia Yaqin's expression was also not good, but she just wanted to see her parents and relatives and ignored these people.
Seeing that Xia Yaqin remained silent, these people assumed they were in the right and became increasingly unreasonable, even blocking their path.
Qin Feng's hand was held tightly by Xia Yaqin. He was helpless; what could he do if his mother wouldn't allow it? He just felt very unhappy.
I really want to kill someone to vent my anger.
Xia Yaqin calmly and easily said, "I just want to see my family. I'll leave after I'm done. Please move aside."
"Get out of the Xia family. You are not welcome here."
"That's right, get out of here right now."
Yin Tiantian couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "Don't go too far. They just want to see their relatives. They're not going to stay here. Get out of the way."
It is said that even the King of Hell cannot persuade a ghost that is destined to die.
These people wouldn't let it go, blocking the way and hurling insults.
The commotion here was so great that it alerted many members of the Xia family, including Tang Shaorong, the young master of the Tang family who was staying at the Xia family residence.
An elderly man with a somewhat dignified air came over and said unhappily, "What's going on? Why is my Xia family's market here? Are you haggling over prices? Someone tell me what's going on."
"Master, it's that woman Xia Yaqin who's returned. It's normal for the clansmen to react so strongly."
Xia Kai, the head of the Xia family, frowned upon hearing this, and looked Qin Feng and his group over again. He was somewhat stunned when he saw Xia Yaqin.
"It really is you! Didn't you leave the Xia family? Why are you back?"
Xia Yaqin responded, "I came back this time to see my parents and younger brother. I'll leave after that and won't stay at the Xia family home."
The Xia family head nodded and waved to the others.
"You can all leave now. It's just a family visit, why are you all so excited?"
Yaqin, go ahead. It's not your fault what happened back then. Actually, I hesitated at the time, but as you know, there are many things in the Xia family that I can't make decisions about.
I hope you won't blame them. They haven't had a good time these past few years, so they're taking it out on you. Go see your parents and then leave; it will be a good thing for you.
Immediately, some people disagreed with Patriarch Xia's words, shouting:
“Patriarch, this isn’t right. She’s caused us so much trouble, and yet we’re letting her into the Xia residence.”
"Exactly, she should leave as soon as possible."
Xia Kai, the head of the Xia family, didn't stand on ceremony and replied calmly:
"Come on, all of you. Don't put all the blame on her. Don't you have any problems yourselves? You know, you can't rely on others. You have to rely on yourselves. You guys are always thinking about clinging to someone powerful."
"Our Xia family used to have no one to rely on, and we still lived just fine. Why can't we do it now?"
Some of these people were unconvinced but didn't know how to refute him. Besides, he was the head of the family, so they had to give him face.
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the Xia family head to be so reasonable, unlike what he had imagined. This made him feel more favorably toward the Xia family.
It seems that the Xia family isn't entirely made up of opportunistic sycophants, and that's enough.
Xia Yaqin bowed to him gratefully and then prepared to turn and leave.
At this moment, the person she least wanted to see appeared: Tang Shaorong from the Tang family.
"Let me see, the Xia family seems quite lively today. What's the show? Oh, it's Miss Xia Yaqin who's back. It's been a long time."
Qin Feng listened to his irritating words while sizing him up.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man with obvious dark circles under his eyes and pale lips. He looked like a typical person who had overindulged in sex and was quite weak. Coupled with his lewd smile, he was really asking for a beating.
Xia Yaqin ignored him, intending to take Qin Feng to visit her relatives, but the next sentence made her suddenly turn around, her eyes turning cold.
"By the way, your father has agreed to let Shihan marry me, so from now on I will have to call you Aunt Xia."
Qin Feng swore he had never seen his mother look so terrifying.
