Chapter 28: The General's Manor, Young Master Chu

"Let it be dead, just throw it into the pauper's grave."
"Yes!"
The servant did not dare to look at the little figure before him, bowing his head as he retreated. This was no ordinary child; he was like a reincarnation of a demon!
A living life was extinguished at the whim of Chu Junhan.
A child who regarded life as insignificant—what myth or legend could exist in such a heart? He was nothing but a spoiled brat!
Of course, the whispers among the servants soon reached Xi Feng's ears.
"Mother, she took Han'er’s things!" Chu Junhan sulked, kneeling before Xi Feng with drooping ears, looking pitiful in the blazing sun.
Xi Feng sat in the pavilion, waving a large fan angrily, "No matter how she took your things, you treat life so lightly?"
"Han'er did nothing wrong!" Chu Junhan pouted, turning his head aside.
"You..." Xi Feng rose, pointing at Chu Junhan with her fan in exasperation.
"Why is Madam Chu so furious? It’s not good for your health!" A noble lady, adorned with excessive makeup, approached, holding the hand of a well-behaved little girl, her slender waist twisting gracefully.

Liuyaner?!!
Chu Junhan's gaze was like a sharp sword, aimed directly at the little girl.
The girl met Chu Junhan's eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of danger, instinctively retreating behind the noblewoman.
Xi Feng scrutinized the flamboyant woman before her, an unyielding thought swelling within her, causing her to stand tall on the steps of the pavilion, looking down.
Seeing this, the noblewoman covered her mouth and giggled, "I apologize for suddenly visiting and startling Madam Chu."
After saying this, she gracefully curtsied and continued, "I have heard that Madam Chu is brave and skilled in battle, also the vice commander of the Chu family army. Seeing you today, you truly are a woman who rivals men."
Xi Feng examined the woman before her, feeling an inexplicable sense of disdain; it turned out that the elite ladies of Pingzhou were no different!
"Who are you? Why have you come to my residence?" Xi Feng said, displeased, with a slight curl of her lips.
The noblewoman looked at Xi Feng in shock, feeling awkward; she had not expected such a lack of manners.
Chu Junhan struggled to stifle a laugh, almost bursting out loud. It seemed her mother was not socially inept, but rather disdainful!
A maid accompanying the noblewoman stepped forward, looking down her nose at Xi Feng: "This servant has met Madam Chu. My lady is the wife of the prime minister, Lady Liu!"

"Oh~" Xi Feng waved her fan casually, one hand on her hip, feigning a sudden realization.
"You..." The maid's eyes nearly popped out in disbelief. How could this woman not understand that the prime minister was someone above all others?
Chu Junhan finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Just moments ago, her mother had been teaching her about reason, yet now it seemed her mother was the unreasonable one.
The maid, failing to intimidate, was already seething with anger. Spotting the kneeling child, she lifted her foot to kick Chu Junhan: "Daring to mock my lady?"
Dressed in coarse fabric from the borderlands, Chu Junhan indeed resembled a servant's child if one didn’t look closely.
Just as the maid's foot was about to make contact with Chu Junhan, Xi Feng shouted, "How dare you!" and executed a graceful flip, landing between the maid and Chu Junhan, delivering a powerful strike with her palm.
A loud crash echoed as the maid was sent crashing to the ground.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
