Si YuFan laid his plans out. They dare treat XunMi like this? Yu family really has reached the end of the road. They had no real use. Keeping them around would just be a waste of space.
Nian Zheng seriously looked at Si YuFan before nodding his head. He patted his shoulder and sighed. âIâm entrusting you with Xiao Xun. She had a rough childhood so I hope you will protect her well. Make sure she doesnât get hurt.â Besides his identity as a revered marshal, he was just an ordinary grandfather. His granddaughter had only been a few years old when she lost her parents. Afterwards, he had sent her away to a faraway planet. He didnât want to think about the kind of loneliness and helplessness that she experienced there. Who knew that just as she felt like she had gained a companion, this would be her outcome? Luckily, there had still been enough time for them to turn the situation around.
XunMi didnât know what Nian Zheng was thinking but she could guess. She grabbed Nian Zhengâs hand and said cutely, âGrandfather, donât worry about me. Iâm not that weak.â
Si YuFan lightly nodded his head solemnly in agreement. âGrandfather, donât worry. XunMi is my life. If anyone dared to hurt her, Iâll make sure to turn them into ash.â XunMi was so extraordinary, so beautiful, so wonderful. He needed to make her his first. He already decided so no one was allowed to come try to steal her away. He turned to Yu HeTian. Seeing him stiffen, Si YuFanâs eyes filled with killing intent. âSince Marshal Yu cares so much about those wild animals, then you can go service them yourself. Guards! Send him away. Take this one with you too.â He might as well treat them together so that neither of them could jump out to cause trouble in the future.
XunMi didnât have much of a reaction. As long as the scum man and his other womanâs conclusion was bad, she could relax.
Yu HeTian was truly shocked. The soldier from earlier had said the woman had no worthy background, that she was only able to come in today due to Marshal Si. In his eyes, Si YuFan wouldnât oppose Yu family just for a woman. That was why he was able to decide to punish XunMi without even reviewing the situation. But now, they were saying this woman was Nian Zhengâs granddaughter? Yu family definitely couldnât go up against Nian family and Si family together. Although he didnât have much talent in the military, Yu HeTianâs brain was up to par. He could clearly see the pros and cons of the situation. But, how exactly was he supposed to turn this around? Before he could think of a solution, Si YuFanâs men appeared.
Without saying a word, they grabbed him. They didnât care if he was a marshal or a president. They only listened to Si YuFanâs orders. If he said to take him away, they were going to take him away. It was obvious that Si YuFanâs deterrence and authority in the military was number one.
Yu HeTian broke out of the two military menâs grasp and tried to calm himself down. âSi YuFan, what do you mean? I still have my position as Marshal. Even if you want to act against me, you still have to go through the military court and get their approval. Youâre abusing your power right now. I have the right to arrest you.â The empire had always been composed of the three largest marshals, the court, and the parliament. All the sections were set up to obstruct any unfair or unjust things from occurring. Si YuFanâs current actions were equivalent to breaking the law.
Unfortunately, Yu HeTian didnât know that the court and parliament had already been sitting in the palm of Si YuFanâs hands. Both sides were all willing to gain his favor, much less overlook a power move for him. Even if he didnât gain their permission, they wouldnât be able to make a sound.
When Yi Ling heard that he was also being dragged to the beast feeding zone, and even his father-in-law had no way of getting out of this, he promptly fainted from fear.
XunMiâs lips twitched. As expected of scum. He could faint from such a minor sign of trouble. He didnât have a backbone. Luckily, he hadnât clung onto the original soul or else she probably wouldnât have been able to resist the urge to smack him away early on.
Si YuFan and Nian Zheng looked down at Yu HeTianâs behavior with disdain. Everytime there was something he couldnât handle on his own, he would pull out the court and the parliament.
âSpeaking with you is a waste of my saliva. Drag him out. Such a good banquet has become so bleak because of you.â Si YuFan waved his hands. A few large soldiers quickly rushed forward and took Yu HeTian off the grounds.
Those that had run over from Hall 2 watched perplexed at this scene. So this was the old marshalâs granddaughter. 100 rumors are not even comparable to one glance. No wonder she was the old marshalâs granddaughter. She had a transparent air of nobility, making her stand out among the other young misses in the crowd.
The one smiling the most was Si YuFanâs mother. Her no-feelings son had finally asked her about emotions. She had been so excited that day that she couldnât even sleep. This son of hers was finally beginning to see women. But a few days later, he walked around all sullen. She almost thought her son had been rejected. Fortunately, her son could finally start being peaceful again after today. Mother Si was feeling very happy. In her head, she was already planning when to prepare their wedding. Marshal Nianâs granddaughter. Whether it was background or the girlâs temperament, everything about her was very suitable for her son. But she wasnât that conservative either. As long as they loved each other, she wouldnât object. Since the girl obviously was interested in her son as well, all was well.
XunMi felt a sudden chill run down her back but it quickly disappeared. She raised an eyebrow. She didnât just become the target of someone elseâs schemes, right?
Si YuFan put his hands on her shoulders and asked worriedly, âWhatâs wrong? Are you uncomfortable? What about we leave first. Itâs already so late, letâs go get something to eat.â
She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 11 PM. Time really flew by. XunMi thought for a second before nodding her head. She had done what she needed to do already, so there was no real point in staying. Besides, werenât there many future opportunities to network anyways?
âGrandfather, are you staying or should I follow you back first?â XunMi tilted her head and asked.
âYou two go eat. Iâll return later, donât worry.â Nian Zheng patted the hand XunMi hooked around his arm.
âAlright, then Uncle An and Jiang ge, please take care of my grandfather for me. Let me know if there is anything.â XunMi asked the people standing on guard next to Nian Zheng.
âYoung miss, donât worry. Weâll take care of old marshal.â An Kang smiled and replied.
Si YuFan took XunMiâs hand and walked away with satisfaction, completely disregarding the mess he made that still needed to be cleaned up.
Mother Si happily went off to help clean up the mess. Nothing should be as important to her son as the task of pursuing her future daughter-in-law.
The two elders of the respective families harmonious came together and began discussing their juniorsâwedding.
