"Where is Jinnian?" Yun Qi asked angrily.
"Second Master!" Hemei called softly.
"Where is Jinnian?" Yun Qi asked again.
Hemei immediately cried, "The Commandery Princess was taken away by a group of people!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qi was truly enraged. He struck out, and a wall immediately collapsed, scaring Yun Old Madam and the others inside the house into a shiver.
Especially Yun Old Madam, who panicked upon knowing Yun Qi had brought people here.
Her third son had completely abandoned her. If even her second son wouldn’t care for her, was she really to depend only on her eldest son?
Yun Qi left the estate, looked at the messy carriage wheel tracks, turned back to the estate, and walked to the tightly shut courtyard door, kicking it open with one blow.
A woman exclaimed, and Yun Qi raised his hand, slashed with a sword, and directly cut the woman’s throat, sending her to the afterlife.
Just then, a clap of thunder and lightning in the sky made Yun Qi appear exceptionally terrifying.
Especially as he held the sword, with blood still dripping from it, as he walked into the room.
Xu Xinmo screamed, scared into a corner.
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan also hid in Mrs. He’s arms, trembling in fear.
"You, you, you..." Mrs. He stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
She knew that Yun Jinnian had been abducted from this estate and that nothing she said would spare her from Yun Qi’s wrath.
Yun Old Madam was so terrified she wet her pants.
Frightened by her own son’s ruthlessness, she wet herself.
Opening his mouth to say something, Yun Qi brandished his sword in a flurry, slashing and chopping madly.
Regardless of maids, women, or servants, all perished under his sword. In this moment, he was no longer the elegant and graceful Third Place Scholar or the young and impetuous man who passionately chased after Mrs. Han in his youth.
He had become a demon, a demon from hell.
Knowing that Yun Old Madam, Mrs. He, Yun Musi, Yun Mulan, and Xu Xinmo were in the house, Yun Qi then stopped his hand, "Pack your things and come back to the Wang Residence with me, and also remember, Jinnian will be brought back home by me too. If any rumors about this spread and tarnish Jinnian’s reputation, this will be your fate starting today. I will no longer have any regard for kinship, and you better remember this!"
Mrs. He, Yun Old Madam, Xu Xinmo, Yun Musi, and Yun Mulan climbed onto the carriage, crying with runny noses and tears. Yun Qi ordered people to carry Hemei, Henuan, and a dozen Hidden Guards onto the carriage as well and set the estate on fire.
He had to return to the Capital City to discuss with Mrs. Han which direction to search for Jinnian.
Mrs. Han exclaimed, sitting up, rushing to get out of bed, and opened the window, looking at the desolate rain outside, her heart inexplicably aching intensely.
"Madam, what’s the matter?" Bai Que lit the lamp and asked urgently.
"Bai Que, go and see if Second Master has returned? Then go to Niannian Garden and call Hongye, Hongxiu, and Hongdou over. I have something to instruct them!"
Even though she wasn’t sure whether these three girls could be commanded, considering it’s about Yun Jinnian, they ought to listen, right?
In the dead of night, Yun Zihan had a dream where Yun Jinnian told her to go to Prince Rui Residence to find Prince Rui.
She woke up in fright.
"What’s wrong?" Liao Shijie asked with concern.
Yun Zihan sat there dazedly.
Liao Shijie reached out and embraced Yun Zihan, touching her belly, and asked tenderly, "Is the child bothering you? Or are you hungry? Shall I ask the kitchen to warm up some soup for you?"
