When Xu Lingyi arrived, there were already many people in the old lady's yard.
The most obvious thing was the guards all over the yard. Xu Lingyi recognized that among them were the princess's guards as well as the Xu family's own guards.
Including the people Xu Lingyi brought, the whole yard was full of people, which looked particularly funny and ridiculous.
It was obvious that the old lady was frightened by her beating yesterday, so she made full preparations today.
However, none of these people were as good as the ones left to her by Xu's father.
Xu Lingyi was calm and composed as she walked into the main room.
I found that the old lady was sitting at the very top, and next to her were the elders of the Xu family. If I remembered correctly, the daughter of one of them was now His Majesty's Defei.
Xu Lingyi just found it ridiculous.
Does the old lady still think she can be afraid of these people?
So what if there is strength in numbers, she also has people around her.
Although the old lady had more people on her side, they were no match for the guards her father left for her.
The old lady obviously didn't learn a lesson from what happened yesterday.
"Why don't you kneel down?" one of them said.
Xu Lingyi stood still.
Xu Lingmian pretended to step forward and pull her sleeve: "Sister, please kneel down and don't make grandma angry anymore."
Xu Lingyi smiled and pushed her hand away, her face expressionless.
But hatred surged in her heart as she thought of her vicious and hideous face in her previous life.
"What have I done wrong? Why should I kneel?"
Not only did Xu Lingyi not kneel, she also pushed the standing Xu Lingmian away and sat directly in her seat.
Even though the old lady tried to calm herself down again and again, she couldn't help but behave like this.
Ever since her son became a general, no one has dared to speak to her like this for many years.
"You!! You evil beast, you still dare to ask what you did wrong? Yesterday, not only did you talk back to your elders, you also whipped your grandmother. There is no woman like you in the world, and you still dare to say you are not wrong. Today, I will beat you to death with a stick. It is all right. No one else can find any fault with me."
The old lady was furious, but Xu Lingyi kept smiling.
She smiled and said, "Then Grandmother, please kill me. But if you want to kill me, I will not let you beat me as you did in the past. You almost beat me to death. Do you know that I almost died that day? I had one foot on the verge of death."
The old lady was stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I beat you that day? It was because you, this evil creature, caused trouble outside, not only embarrassing yourself, but also embarrassing the entire Xu family."
"What evil have I done?" Xu Lingyi asked, her voice echoing in the hall. "I just went to ask Xie Huaixing why the engagement was broken off. What have I done wrong? Should I cover up for someone else who has done something shameful?"
"Xie Huaixing and I have been engaged since childhood, with a marriage certificate as proof. The Xie family's casual cancellation of the engagement is tantamount to trampling on the Xu family's face. Grandmother, in silence, is truly disgraceful in my opinion."
"And my mother and sister, in order to destroy me and make my sister a concubine for Xie Huaixing, they even helped the Xie family to slander me in public. This is shameful."
"Even though Xie Huaixing hasn't become the crown prince yet, my grandmother, mother, and sister are already eager to kowtow to him. They fawn over the Xie family and act like their slaves. It's not that the Xie family's slaves are surnamed Xie, and you are surnamed Xu. You are even worse than them. This is a disgrace to my grandmother."
"You! You!" Xu Lingmian could no longer pretend after hearing these words. "Xu Lingyi, how dare you say that to me! I am a princess personally appointed by His Majesty."
Xu Lingyi whipped her with a whip, which hit her face directly, leaving a bloody mark instantly.
"Ahhh my face!! Mother my face.!"
"Where are the guards?" The princess hugged her daughter distressedly: "Guards?"
Xu Lingyi's guards were already entangled with them, and the princess's guards were unable to escape.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Xu Lingyi whipped her again with a backhanded whip. "Sister, you'd better avoid me in the future. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you. I don't plan to get married anymore, and reputation is useless to me. But it's different for you, sister. If I tell others that you've been secretly having an affair with Xie Huaixing, what do you think you'll do?"
"No one will believe you!" Xu Lingmian shouted excitedly.
"That's hard to say. I'm your biological sister. Why wouldn't others believe what I say? Besides, I have evidence in my hand, sister. If I didn't have evidence, how do you think I would know about you and Xie Huaixing? Sister, do you want to experience the feeling of having your reputation ruined?"
When the old lady heard this, she became completely anxious.
"You evil creature, what on earth do you want to do? Are you going to destroy your sister and the Xu family?"
"It's you, the Xu family, who want to destroy me, Grandmother. You destroyed me first, and I'm just fighting back now. Even clay people have tempers, let alone me. How you treated me in the past, I will treat you in the future. Grandmother, please don't provoke me again."
"If you touch me again, I might cut off one of your fingers in a fit of rage. Anyway, I've already given up."
"Aren't you afraid of death? There are still laws in this world. If I make trouble in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, can you, this evil beast, still survive?" The old lady said.
"You wouldn't dare, grandma." Xu Lingyi continued to provoke.
"I'll leave tomorrow. It's better for you to die than to keep this evil creature here."
"Grandma, you're forcing me to do this. I've been so tolerant of you, out of consideration for our relationship. I never thought you could be so cruel and actually want to kill me."
Xu Lingyi's face turned cold and she whipped the old lady with a whip. The whip was so powerful that the old lady fell directly off the chair.
There were few people around yesterday, but now, in front of so many people, she still dared!! Acting like this, whipping an elder.
"Ah!" the old lady cried out in pain.
Xu Lingyi drew his sword, strode forward, and struck the old lady between her legs with his sword.
Suddenly there was a smell in the air.
Xu Lingyi drew his sword and placed it across her neck.
"Grandma, are you afraid?" Xu Lingyi asked with a smile. She raised the corners of her lips, with a sinister and cruel look on her face.
At that moment, the old lady's heart almost jumped out of her chest. This was not her granddaughter at all, she was simply an evil creature.
"You are not my granddaughter! You are a demon! Someone come quickly!"
"You, you, you, how dare you act like this? How dare you kill your own family? Put down your sword immediately." One of the elders spoke tremblingly.
"Elder, how can I say that I'm kinslaying? Do you really want me to do it? Besides, what am I afraid of now? Everyone in the capital says that I bully my younger siblings and disrespect my elders. Even if I did these things, my reputation wouldn't be that bad, so what should I be afraid of? But it's different for you, my grandmother, my mother, and my younger siblings."
"I've already said this, if you dare to hurt me even a little bit, I will die with you even if I don't want my own life."
