Chapter 2111: Fine wine
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Killing a person was a normal thing in the Abyss of Hell. It was normal for tens of thousands of people to die every day in the Imperial Capital. Therefore, they did not take Sima You Yue’s life to heart.
“However, in this case, will Ling’er be angry when he finds out? He seems to value this Master very much.” Xiao Ling’s Father said hesitantly.
“Ling’er finally turned her attention to the family business. If that person encourages him to be by her side at this time, I’m afraid his heart will fly again.” Xiao Ling’s Mother said with a frown.
“I’m afraid that if I kill someone directly, it will cause Ling’er’s disgust, and my heart finally escaped again.” Xiao Ling’s father said.
“It’s also possible,” The Patriarch of the Xiao Clan replied thoughtfully.
“Why don’t we talk to that person first, let her leave the Imperial Capital, and stop pestering Ling’er. We’ll give her whatever she wants.” Xiao Ling’s Mother said, “She followed Ling’er back, and that’s what she wanted!”
“Well, if she agrees, it’s possible to keep her life.” The Patriarch of the Xiao Clan said, “I’ll leave this matter to you.”
“Yes, Father. I will take care of this matter.”
Sima You Yue was discussing options with Wu Lingyu, and before she came up with a comprehensive plan, she heard the maid say that the Madam was coming.
“Madam?” Sima You Yue was stunned for a moment before she realized that Madam was Xiao Ling’s mother.
“She came quite fast.” Wu Lingyu said.
“It was much slower than I expected.” Sima You Yue said, “I thought she would come when Xiao Ling returned!”
“It is estimated that I will wait to see my son first.” Wu Lingyu said, “I am afraid that this time the visitor doesn’t have good intentions!”
“Go and have a look and you’ll know.” You don’t need to think about whether they’re here to welcome you, but you don’t know whether they plan to try peaceful means before resorting to force.
Sima You Yue led her maid to the living room, where Xi Er Ni was already waiting.
“Are you Ling’er’s Master?” Xi Er Ni sized Sima You Yue up as she took a scrutinising look at her and she realised that she was much younger than she thought.
Seeing her arrogant appearance, Sima You Yue did not salute her. One was Xiao Ling’s mother, and the other was Xiao Ling’s Master.
“Exactly. You are…?” She deliberately looked at Xi Er Ni, pretending not to know her.
Well, in fact, she really didn’t know her at all.
“I’m Ling’er’s mother.” Xi Er Ni replied.
“It turned out to be Xiao Ling’s mother. Nice to meet you.” Sima You Yue went directly to the main seat and sat down.
Seeing that her reaction was so indifferent and she sat at the seat where she usually sat at, Xi Er Ni felt very unhappy and said with a sullen face, “Young people still need to be polite.”
Sima You Yue blinked her eyes pretending to be puzzled, then looked suddenly realized, and then said solemnly: “Madam Xiao, in terms of seniority, you are Xiao Ling’s mother, I am his Master, our seniority is the same. As a guest, I live here now, and I’m the host here. You are here now as a guest and when the host comes, the guest doesn’t even want to get up, and the host doesn’t care anymore.”
“Host? This is Ling’er’s yard. You are just a guest here. How can you call yourself the Host?” Xi Er Ni gave her a contemptuous look, “Yes, this is your purpose, just greedy for glory and wealth.”
“Madam Xiao, what do you mean?” Sima You Yue put away her smile and looked at her displeased.
“You are a chef, didn’t you come here with Ling’er to make a better life?” Xi Er Ni waved her hand in disgust and said arrogantly, “Our Ling’er will be a person who will do great things in the future, and will not learn those lowly menial things. For the sake of your acquaintance, you can make a price, leave the Imperial Capital when you get what you want, walk far away, and stop pestering him!”
“Lowly menial things?” Sima You Yue sneered, “I wonder how Xiao Ling would feel when he heard his Mother describe the things he loves like this!”
“Of course Ling’er can’t hear it.” Xi Er Ni said, “Make a price!”
“Madam Xiao, I think you are mistaken. I came here for my own business, and I have no interest in pestering Xiao Ling and the Xiao Clan! I still have things to do, if Madam Xiao has nothing else, please leave!” Sima You Yue’s impression of Xi Er Ni was extremely bad, because she didn’t want to waste time and energy dealing with her.
“Did you just chase me away? What qualifications do you have to chase me away? This is my son’s yard, and it’s you, an outsider, who should be the one to leave!” Xi Er Ni shrieked.
“You also said it was Xiao Ling’s yard. Now that he lent this place to his Master, that’s me, of course I have the right to drive away anyone I don’t want to see.” Sima You Yue said, “Or Madam Xiao, go and ask outside. Guards and maids, do they listen to you or to me?”
“You…” Of course Xi Er Ni wouldn’t ask. She knew her son, and he would definitely treasure this chef, and he would definitely tell these people to listen to her. Asking herself would just be shameful.
“Madam Xiao, for the sake of your being Xiao Ling’s Mother, this time I will ask you to leave. If you make a rude remark next time, I don’t know what I will do.” Sima You Yue said. After a brief pause, she continued on, “I will leave naturally after finishing my business, and you don’t need to worry about what I will do to Xiao Ling.”
For Xiao Ling’s sake, she still didn’t want to make the relationship so stiff, so she said this. But Xi Er Ni obviously didn’t believe it.
In Xi Er Ni’s heart, she was a chef who coveted wealth and honor, and she didn’t believe what she said: “I advise you, don’t refuse the proffered wine, or else you can now only have wine as punishment. However, let me kindly remind you, fine wine is hard to drink, and you have to have your life to drink it!”
“Well, if I have my life to drink that glass of fine wine, I’ll tell Madam Xiao what it’s like. I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you.” After speaking, she calmly got up and left without looking at Xi Er Ni again.
How could such a Mother raise such a simple Xiao Ling?
She should leave, otherwise, she won’t be unable to control the chaotic energy in her body and do something unkind.
“Stop!” It was the first time that Xi Er Ni was ignored by others, she got up and shouted, and at the same time, she waved her hand, and a spiritual energy was thrown towards Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue felt the killing intent chasing behind her, and teleported avoided the spiritual energy.
“Boom—”
The yard was smashed into a big hole by spiritual energy.
Sima You Yue came out from the other side of the courtyard, and her anger rose: “I thought that Madam Xiao, as a lady, would at least have the basic courtesy and have something called a face. I didn’t expect you to launch a sneak attack from behind! This made me gain some insight!”
