When Bai Nuo arrived at the courtyard gate, Huang Yi'an had already bumped into a pillar. He had a large cut on his forehead, but not much blood. He was leaning on a servant for support. There was a group of people standing at the gate, mostly surrounding him.
When did the people in my family become so free?
Everyone was pointing and whispering around Huang Yi'an, or rather, they were concerned about her, so they didn't notice Bai Nuo's arrival. After Bai Nuo arrived and stood in front of Huang Yi'an, it was Huang Yi'an who noticed her first and called out, "Second Sister-in-law," before the servants noticed her.
Upon seeing her, they all lowered their heads in fear. In the past two days, Bai Nuo's infamy had spread throughout the entire Hu family. Everyone knew that Bai Nuo was not someone to be trifled with, even more terrifying than Madam Zheng at the time. Therefore, no one in the Hu family wanted to see Bai Nuo. It was said that after Granny Jiang was sent to the government, she confessed not long after and quickly returned all her valuables. However, even so, Granny Jiang did not fare well and was beaten half to death. Therefore, some people suspected that Bai Nuo was using this as an excuse to deal with Madam Zheng's people and eliminate the influence left behind by Madam Zheng and Huang Haichuan. As a result, none of those who were part of Madam Zheng's faction wanted to see her. They all kept their heads down, afraid that Bai Nuo would discover them.
"Everyone, disperse now. A few people, take Young Master Huang back to his own courtyard and fetch a doctor to examine him. Young Master Huang, why did you go and bang your head against the wall? Let's talk things out and not do anything rash."
The servants hesitated, and no one dispersed, but no one took Huang Yi'an back either. Bai Nuo's face immediately turned cold. Her body, which had not yet fully recovered, was throbbing with headaches. She said, "What? Is it that I can't order you around? Or do you think Young Master Huang's injury is not serious?"
The servants looked at each other, hesitant, but remained motionless.
Now that Huang Yi'an is here, they all want to see whether Huang Yi'an or Bai Nuo has the upper hand. If Huang Yi'an has the upper hand, then they will no longer listen to Bai Nuo.
Peony, watching from behind, couldn't help but feel angry. How could they not know what these people were thinking? Immediately, Peony cursed, "Are you all deaf, crippled, or dead? Didn't you see how badly Young Master Huang is injured? Although Young Master Huang isn't a member of our Hu family, if anything happens to him in the Hu family, and Second Master finds out when he gets back, he will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Peony's words were very stern, and the servants who were watching immediately dispersed. The few remaining people helped Huang Yi'an up one by one, trying to help him back into the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yi'an refused to leave and stopped the servants supporting him, weakly calling out, "Second Sister-in-law, I have a few words to say."
Bai Nuo looked at his pale face and the wound, and said gently, "Young Master Huang, you should go back and see a doctor first. We can discuss anything else when Second Master returns."
Since Huang Yi'an had threatened Bai Nuo with banging his head against the wall, he naturally didn't want to leave so quickly. If Bai Nuo took him back to his room, wouldn't it be pointless for him to bang his head against the wall for nothing?
"I call my second sister-in-law 'sister-in-law,' but she calls me 'Young Master Huang.' Does she not care about our blood ties at all?" Huang Yi'an asked with a bitter smile.
Bai Nuo remained silent. What kind of blood ties did she have with Huang Haichuan and Huang Yi'an? She was just a wife who had married into the family.
“Even though we weren’t originally surnamed Hu, Grandpa married a princess and had my eldest uncle. Although my eldest uncle and Dad weren’t born to the same mother, we still share half of the same blood. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected.”
Bai Nuo remained silent for a moment before saying, "So that's why you're unwilling to seek treatment? You're thinking that if you get injured, Second Master and I will also get injured and feel the pain?"
"...I just feel very sad that I'm still living in the original courtyard, but my parents and grandfather are crammed into the same courtyard." Huang Yi'an choked, not expecting Bai Nuo to say such a thing. After a while, he finally revealed his true intentions.
“Then you can go live in the same courtyard as them!” Bai Nuo said casually. “Isn’t Grandpa’s courtyard very big? There are plenty of rooms, so it’s not a problem for you to stay there alone.”
“They’re old, how can they stay in one courtyard all the time without moving around? How can they never come out? Sister-in-law, they are my second brother’s grandfather and second uncle. It’s not appropriate for you to keep them locked up like this. It’s too much!” Huang Yi’an said indignantly.
"You've taken everything you could from the house, so why are you still locking them up?" Huang Yi'an asked. "Aren't you afraid of causing harm to the children by doing this?"
"What did we take from this house?" Bai Nuo sneered. "Everything in this house was left by Hu Mingmei's grandmother, Princess Yu Ru. Princess Yu Ru is gone, and Hu Mingmei's father is gone, so naturally, the things belong to Hu Mingmei. Hu Mingmei's health is poor, which is why you've managed it for over a decade. Over a decade has passed, and you've already forgotten where these things came from? How did they become yours? Is it wrong for us to take back what's ours? A man who married into the family actually has the nerve to take a concubine." "Taking a concubine is one thing, but seizing someone else's property and only giving them a monthly allowance of two hundred? Aren't you afraid Princess Yuru will crawl out of her coffin and strangle you if she finds out? The reason I didn't let you out was to let you rest for a few more days. After all, you've been working hard for over ten years. Can't you even stay a couple of days? What are you trying to do? Is Second Master keeping you locked up? Are you and Huang Yikang still living in your own courtyard? Are all the people and things you're entitled to still be there? That's all I have to say for today. If you want to see a doctor, go ahead; if not, fine."
