Several people were about to lay hands on something Yun Shu had just bought and was particularly fond of.
They were stopped.
Jing Heng didn't say a word.
He stood still.
His eyes were filled with darkness.
It was as if his eyes held countless claws, each capable of biting off their hands.
The group was startled by Jing Heng's imposing presence.
They froze where they stood, their outstretched hands trembling.
"Who did you find? How dare you bring disreputable people back?!" Old Madam Yun was furious. She had been simmering with anger, and now, unable to deal with Yun Shu, her temper flared even more.
Jing Heng narrowed his eyes.
Old Madam Yun was terrified.
She had never seen anyone whose aura was so sinister that it made one's teeth chatter.
"He is my guard, naturally, he must protect me from being bullied! I am as beautiful as a celestial being, and naturally kind-hearted, making me easily bullied. Of course, I need a guard by my side," Yun Shu said with a charming smile, looking at the ashen-faced Old Madam Yun, her tone unhurried.
To Old Madam Yun, it sounded utterly grating.
How shameless could she be, calling herself as beautiful as a celestial being?!
Naturally kind-hearted?
Which of her actions in the past two days could be considered kind? It was she who had been bullying others!
Not only was Old Madam Yun stunned with anger, but Concubine Xiao was also both surprised and furious.
"Furthermore, I am spending my father's money. Aren't you all spending my father's money? Can only you spend it, but I cannot? I have been self-sufficient for many years and haven't used my father's money. My father is still filled with guilt towards me. If I don't use his money, he will be heartbroken. You don't care about him, but I do," Yun Shu added.
Hearing this twisted logic, Old Madam Yun's eyes nearly bulged out. "You! You! Twisted logic! How detestable! What kind of talk is this?!"
"Yes, Shu'er, how can you say such things?" Concubine Xiao gritted her teeth in anger.
It was too infuriating!
Yun Shu watched as they turned red in the face, her smile becoming somewhat genuine.
Seeing Yun Shu smile, Old Madam Yun found it extremely piercing. "Scram! Get out of the Yun family at once! Nothing in the Yun family belongs to you! When did Yun Changfeng's money become yours to use?"
"Oh?" Yun Shu blinked her bright eyes and looked towards the doorway.
"Father, I can't use your money?"
This question startled Old Madam Yun, making her body tremble as she stiffly turned her gaze towards the door.
Concubine Xiao looked over in a panic.
She saw Yun Changfeng looking at Yun Shu with affection. "You can use your father's money as you please."
Then, noticing the fabrics and other items displayed in the room, he immediately frowned, looking displeased.
"Changfeng, are you so sure this is Yun Shu?" Old Madam Yun, unwilling to give up, tried to awaken Yun Changfeng.
Concubine Xiao saw the change in Yun Changfeng's expression and knew he was displeased with Yun Shu's extravagant spending. She quickly sighed, "Shu'er can naturally use the master's money, it's just that such a large expense in one go..."
The next moment, her eyes widened, and her words caught in her throat.
"Why did you buy so little?" Yun Changfeng frowned.
She hadn't bought anything for years, and now she bought so little, indicating Shu'er was too cautious!
He was such a failure of a father, how could he let his daughter live so cautiously, unwilling to buy even the silks and satins, the gold and jewels that girls loved most?
Yun Shu's heart warmed. Just as she was about to reply to Yun Changfeng, a servant's voice came from outside the door.
"Master, several young ladies wish to see the Second Miss!"
