Chapter 174

Yi Ling had already forgotten all logical reasoning due to the pain coming from his lower body. When Si YuFan threatened him, Yi Ling’s anger got the best of him. He suddenly found a burst of courage and began ranting. “How well did Nian XunMi service you for you to be helping her to this extent? She’s just a bitch that climbed up the social ladder using men. What right does she have to talk about me? Nian XunMi, you’re shameless. If you dare, come out yourself. Don’t just hide behind Marshal Si.” His meaning was clear and the reasoning did make sense. But his words made a few people almost erupt with anger. This included the old marshal, his adjutant general, and his student, who had all just arrived. Another angered party was Si YuFan, who had been standing protectively around XunMi the entire time.

Si YuFan hadn’t moved his leg. Now, he harshly smashed down on Yi Ling’s face. Crack!

“AH!” The tell-all sign of a broken bone sounded accompanied by yet another screech. The previously straight nose had been flattened down. The crowd shivered. He had broken a nose with his foot! Marshal Si’s physique was no joke. In this moment, they could only think of one thing: you could go against the heavens, but you should never go against Nian XunMi.

They would even cross Marshal Si himself before they crossed Nian XunMi. From start to finish, Marshal Si had been following Nian XunMi like a loyal dog looking for affection and petting. Because someone yelled at her, he wanted to cut off her tongue and give her to the troops to use. Now because someone cursed her, he directly…

The crowd refused to think about it anymore. The more they thought about it, the more they wanted to tear up.

“I’m going to sue you! I’m going to sue!” Yi Ling tried to endure the pain stabbing his nose while screaming.

“Sue? I’m afraid that you won’t get that opportunity.” A clear but bitter voice called out. His voice carried the sternness of a military man and the sharpness of a tsunami. “You worked together to scheme against my granddaughter. You almost costed her her life. I, Nian Zheng, will make sure you pay for your actions.” Nian Zheng walked forward from the back of the room. Those in their way naturally parted for them. Everyone’s faces were utter shock. The woman that they had thought was just lucky in gaining Marshal Si’s interest was now of higher status than they could imagine. The old Marshal Nian’s granddaughter!!! If there were two great figures that dominated the empire, old Marshal Nian would definitely be one of them. No one could even compete with his influence. Moreover, the other Marshal was also on the same side. They were definitely in an alliance!

“Grandfather, you’re here.” XunMi smiled happily. The seniors’ gathering was next door. The two events were actually not together. Yet Grandfather appeared in this crowd because he was worried about her. Her heart filled with warmth as she smiled sweetly.

“Xiao Xun, are you alright?” Nian Zheng grabbed his granddaughter’s hand and looked him up and down.

“Grandfather, I’m fine. YuFan was here.” XunMi pulled her suddenly frozen lover closer so that she could introduce him to her grandfather.

Nian Zheng’s expression was a bit stinky. His granddaughter had awoken after such a long time. They hadn’t even had time to catch up as granddaughter and grandfather when this boy popped in. He was feeling a bit resentful, alright?

“Si family’s kid.” Seeing that you protected Xiao Xun, I’ll reluctantly acknowledge you. “Not bad.” He was utterly better than that Yi Ling.

Si YuFan was excited. Did grandfather just agree? Overwhelmed with excitement, he blurted out, “Grandfather, I’ll treat XunMi very very well.”

Nian Zheng was depressed. Xiao Xun hadn’t even married him yet. This fellow really did have thick skin.

XunMi tried to hide her laughter from the sidelines. The light from eyes obviously expressed her happiness.

Where there are happy people, there are saddened people. Just as the head of the Yu Family, Marshal Yu was drinking wine with his family, he received some news. In the next moment, his wine glass crashed to the floor and he headed to the banquet next door in a fury. When his group saw that there seemed to be a situation, they looked at each other before following after him. The chaotic banquet in Hall 1 was made even more nerve-wrecking with the arrival of numerous seniors from the banquet in Hall 2.

Yi Ling, who was on the floor still heaving, stood out to the new arrivers. Marshal Yu saw Yi Ling’s condition as soon as he came in.  His temper flared immediately. He walked over and pulled him up before roaring to the room. “What damned fool touched my people?” His red face paired with his twisted expression was quite ugly.

No one made a sound. Those that knew what happened all looked up at the ceiling or down at the ground. Some even turned their backs towards him. They weren’t stupid. No one was willing to be the source of the information. Moreover, Yu family couldn’t even compare with Nian family and Si family. They knew which one they couldn’t afford to offend.

Marshal Yu was even more furious now. He grabbed the person that had delivered the news earlier, and demanded he explain the situation. The little soldier trembled as he retold everything that he had heard and then quickly lowered his head down.  He was afraid of becoming the brunt of Marshal Yu’s anger. He tried his best to make himself less noticeable.

After Marshal Yu finished listening, he turned his gaze towards Si YuFan and XunMi. “So you were the bitch that hurt my son-in-law and took away my daughter. Damn it, guards! Send her to the beast feeding zone.” He needed to quickly go find his daughter or else it might be too late. “Remember to give those beasts some aphrodisiacs. Since you dare touch Yu family, I’ll make sure you suffer a plight worse than death.”  His bloodshot red eyes glared at XunMi.

XunMi’s expression also darkened. As expected, there wasn’t a good person in Yu family. He didn’t even care to understand the situation before going straight for revenge. Great, that’s great.

“Yu HeTian. You dare do that to my granddaughter? What audacity. I originally thought that I wouldn’t go after Yu family at least for that old man’s sake. But now, that seems impossible.” Nian Zheng was also angry. If Si YuFan and him weren’t with Xiao Xun today, would she really have suffered such a fate? Just thinking about it gave him chills. This Yu family needs to be stopped.

“Grandfather, this is a small matter. You don’t need to worry yourself with this. It’s just a small Yu family, it’s not worth getting angry over. Since they’ve already written their own execution papers, I’ll just be a good person and give him what they want.”
