1782 Revenge
Inside the room, Nan Yiyi leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face. Her body was covered by a thick brocade blanket, and her eyes were blank as she stared ahead.
She looked as if she had lost her soul.
Countless images flashed through her mind, but it seemed to be just a blank. Nothing was left but a blur.
A maidservant pushed the door open and carefully handed over the small white bone porcelain bowl. “Second Missy, it’s time to drink medicine—Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Nan Yiyi suddenly pulled out a whip from under the bed and whipped the maidservant’s head!
The maidservant couldn’t dodge in time and was hit squarely.
A long scar spread from her scalp to the corner of her mouth, easily cutting through her delicate and young face. Flesh and blood rolled, bloody and terrifying!
The maid screamed in pain. The small bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
She fell to the ground just as a few more pieces of debris pierced her palm, causing her to bleed and the pain to worsen.
The maidservant looked up in panic and fear and saw that Nan Yiyi had already looked over. Her eyes were scarlet and terrifying, as sinister as a ghost! It was as if she wanted to cut her into pieces!
The maidservant trembled violently and immediately stopped crying. She kneeled on the ground, cried, and begged. “Second Missy, I know my mistake! I know my mistake!”
Actually, she really didn’t know what she had done wrong to anger the second missy, but it was her fault that the second missy was angry.
During this period of time, there had been rumors in the family that the second missy’s personality had changed drastically after she returned. In the past, she had only been spoiled and willful. Now, she had become unpredictable, irritable, and easily fatal.
In the month since she returned, three servants had died at her hands.
As for the injured, there were countless of them.
The maidservant was afraid that she would also be killed, so she ignored the pain in her body and desperately apologized and begged for mercy. However, the maidservant didn’t know that the more she acted like this, the worse Nan Yiyi’s mood became.
The blood in Nan Yiyi’s eyes quickly gathered, and she almost went crazy! So noisy… You deserve to die!
Nan Yiyi tightened her grip on the whip and was about to strike again when the front door was pushed open.
“Yiyi!” A figure hurried toward them—it was Nan Yifan.
Nan Yiyi stopped what she was doing.
Nan Yifan quickly sized up the situation in the room and frowned.
When he was walking outside just now, he heard a scream from inside the house. He immediately guessed that Nan Yiyi must’ve caused trouble again.
As expected.
He waved at the maidservant to dismiss her. “You can leave first. Rest well during this period of time. There’s no need to serve the second missy anymore.”
The maidservant immediately left as if she had been pardoned.
The room quickly fell silent again, leaving only a mess on the ground.
…
Anger surged in Nan Yifan’s chest as he said in a low voice, “Yiyi, how long are you planning to continue causing trouble?!”
It’s fine if it were just a day or two, but it has been a month! Yet, it still hasn’t stopped!
The entire Nan family is discussing this matter. From their words, they are already very dissatisfied with Nan Yiyi! Although Nan Yiyi is the Nan family’s second missy, this doesn’t mean that she could be lawless in the Nan family!
One had to know that the Nan family wasn’t Nan Yifan’s alone! The elders were usually very polite to him, but if he did anything wrong, he would also be punished!
Not to mention Nan Yiyi!
If this continues, how will I answer those people from the Nan family?!
Hearing the faint reprimand in his words, Nan Yiyi’s eyes turned red, and tears fell.
Instead of arguing, she just lowered her head and let the big tears fall onto the brocade blanket.
Seeing her like this, Nan Yifan’s heart softened again.
After all, she was the apple of his eye that he had doted on for many years. How could his heart not ache for her?
She had been so proud in the past, so it was normal for her to find it difficult to accept the current situation.
Nan Yifan sighed and walked over to sit by the bed. “Yiyi, listen to me. Give me the whip.”
Nan Yiyi paused for a moment before she slowly handed the whip over.
Previously, Nan Yifan only wanted to leave this thing for her to protect herself. But now, he would rather send more people outside than leave the whip with Nan Yiyi.
Taking the whip, Nan Yifan gently patted her hand again and said earnestly, “Yiyi, I know you feel aggrieved and uncomfortable. However, it’s not a solution to continue like this, right? Those servants didn’t do anything wrong to begin with. Not only will your anger not help your condition at all, but it will also cause the people in the family to criticize you.”
He paused, his face tinged with bitterness. “You also know your brother’s situation. Unless there’s a miracle, he’ll be crippled for the rest of his life. Other than a heavenly doctor I trust, nobody else in the family knows about this.”
How could he dare to reveal it?!
He had spent so much effort and time nurturing Nan Yuxing for so many years. In the end, he was crippled just like that!
Moreover, he only had this one son! This also meant that the position of family head had to be given to others in the future!
The Nan family was huge and had a total of three branches. The position of family head was usually fought for by people from these three branches.
All these years, he had worked so hard to nurture Nan Yuxing because he hoped that he could become extremely outstanding. This way, he could naturally pass the position to Nan Yuxing.
If his lineage failed, there would be people who wanted to replace him!
Countless people were secretly coveting the position of family head! Of course, this wasn’t what Nan Yifan wanted to see.
When Nan Yiyi heard this, her tears stopped. She then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at Nan Yifan.
She looked angry and indignant. Of course, the position of family head can only be ours!
But soon, her face was covered in gray defeat again. So what if I’m angry? So what if I’m unconvinced? The news that my eldest brother’s Yuan meridian has been crippled and that he has become a cripple can be hidden for a while, but not forever. The family will find out sooner or later!
And the fact that I’m mute… Everyone thinks that I’m in a bad mood and am unwilling to speak, but as time passes, they will definitely find out! At that time, the outcome will probably be even worse.
The culprit behind all of this is still living a carefree life!
Thinking of this, Nan Yiyi held her father’s hand and looked at him anxiously.
Nan Yifan immediately understood what she meant. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Yiyi, don’t think about this for now. You should recover from your injuries…”
Nan Yiyi shook off his hand and revealed a desperate and strange smile. I had long guessed that my father didn’t intend to help us take revenge! He wants us to swallow all the pain and torture!
