Chapter 278
Yun Ruiyang was much taller than Yun Xi, and his height brought a natural sense of oppression. Coupled with his eyes that seemed to want to skin Yun Xi alive, it made it even harder for her to breathe.
Yun Xi stood still, her indifferent gaze falling on Yun Ruiyang: "Young Master Yun, you shouldn't be so impulsive. If you really did something to me, do you think the Lord and Madam would let you off in front of the Crown Prince?"
Yun Ruiyang scoffed: "You really think highly of yourself?"
So what if she has Yun family blood in her veins? As long as he's careful with his actions, even if things escalate, it'll just be a brother disciplining his sister. Besides, how much affection do Yun Changliang and Madam Yun really have for her? They certainly won't side with her!
At worst, I'll just get a scolding.
Is he a grown man? Does getting scolded mean he'll lose a piece of flesh?
Moreover, being scolded for Yun Wan's sake is even less worth mentioning.
Yun Ruiyang grew more and more confident as he thought about it, and with an overwhelming sense of pressure, he pressed down on Yun Xi.
Ji Xiang clenched her fists instinctively.
Yun Wan is still unaware that she is already Yun Xi's woman. She keeps asking about Yun Xi's situation, and just a few days ago she said she had something important for her to do. If it's exposed now...
Jixiang's mind was in turmoil as she watched Yun Ruiyang approach step by step, unsure of what to do.
The next moment, Yunxi curled her lips and actually turned around and ran away.
She ran away.
The woman moved with the agility of a deer in the forest, her cloak swaying gracefully behind her as she dashed far away in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ruiyang and Jixiang were both stunned when they saw Yun Xi's figure.
Yun Ruiyang had taught a lot of girls who were hostile to Yun Wan a lesson. Those girls either stood up to him with their necks stiffened or cried and showed weakness, but this was the first time he had seen one who turned around and ran away without saying a word.
However, Yun Ruiyang quickly realized what was happening and took off after him.
We can't let Yunxi just run away like that!
Otherwise, if he gets scolded for doing nothing, he'd be really wronged!
But he still underestimated Yunxi.
Who is Yunxi?
Having grown up in the countryside, she was always on the go, and climbing on roofs and removing tiles was something she often did. She hadn't been back in Luoyang for very long in this life, and she was still very agile.
However, Yun Ruiyang had been busy with Yun Wan's affairs and was in good health. Now, he was making every effort to catch up, and the gap between the two began to gradually narrow.
Seeing Yun Xi reach the hanging flower gate, Yun Ruiyang shouted, "Stop her!"
The servants were taken aback. They instinctively got into position, but only managed to grab Yunxi's cloak. Yunxi flicked it lightly and broke free. The cloak fell to the ground, and she continued to float away.
The servants, on the contrary, blocked Yun Ruiyang's path.
"Useless!" Yun Ruiyang pushed the servants aside with a dark face and continued chasing after them.
Yun Changliang and Shen Rang were together, which was a proper scene, and Yun Xi certainly wouldn't dare to barge in directly.
As Yun Ruiyang was thinking this, he saw Yun Xi barge straight in.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yunxi, who had been running steadily all the way, tripped over the threshold when she entered the door and fell straight in.
Yun Changliang's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
This daughter is so clumsy and careless; she doesn't resemble a daughter of the Yun family at all! She's a disgrace to him!
But before he could even open his mouth to reprimand her, Shen Rang stood up and walked towards Yun Xi.
The room was warm. Yunxi had run all the way from outside, and her originally fair skin was red from the cold. In Shen Rang's eyes, she naturally looked even more pitiful.
