Chapter 428: Chapter 428, Jinnian Makes a Move
Fen Chen’s wife was terrified when she heard Shi Jiayu’s words.
Thinking that Hemei was just a little maid, she tried to stop her, but Hemei turned around, immediately grabbed Fen Chen’s wife’s arm, and threw her to the ground.
"Ouch, ouch, my third child, my third child..." Fen Chen’s wife cried out in pain.
Upon seeing his mother at a disadvantage, Fen San picked up a stool and smashed it towards Hemei, who easily dodged and dislocated Fen San’s arm in two moves.
"Nonsense!" Hemei shouted angrily, completely ignoring these two lunatics.
She went to find Yun Bi to report the incident.
However, Hemei did not find Yun Bi; instead, she found the butler.
The butler’s surname was Fen, namely Fen Chen’s husband, Fen San’s father, Mrs. Xia’s father-in-law, and grandfather of Nuandong and a few others.
As soon as Butler Fen heard what Hemei said, he knew trouble had befallen.
This domestic issue should not have been stirred up; if it escalated, the Fen Family would not reap any good rewards. Now that someone from the miss’s side had brought it up, the master would not spare him, let alone the Fen Family.
"Miss, this old servant will immediately go call for a doctor. Can you not inform the master and miss for now?" Butler Fen pleaded.
He hoped to settle the matter privately.
Hemei looked at him, "Crazy!"
She turned to find Yun Jinnian.
This was a matter that Yun Jinnian had to decide on.
Butler Fen’s heart was filled with panic, "These wretched women!"
Having given birth to a daughter who was also Fen Family’s granddaughter, she should have been well-raised and married into a prosperous family, receiving a hefty dowry. That would have been far better, but she insisted on provoking Mrs. Xia, and now everything was ruined...
Forget about luxurious clothing and abundant food; it would be difficult even to keep their positions.
He quickly turned to instruct someone to call the doctor and the midwife, knowing he couldn’t go to the servants’ quarters himself.
Yun Jinnian saw Hemei return in a huff and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"I’ve seen shameless old prudes, but never one as evil and heartless as this!" Hemei recounted, telling him everything she had witnessed.
Yun Jinnian frowned deeply upon hearing this.
Henuan was stunned.
Were there really families and men like this?
"Henuan, go call Qian Mama and have her bring a few people over. We’ll go and have a look together, hurry!" Yun Jinnian quickly commanded.
Henuan did not hesitate and immediately summoned Qian Mama. Yun Jinnian was already waiting at the crossroad with Hemei, carrying a medicine chest.
When Qian Mama arrived with five female guards, they all headed together to the servants’ rooms.
Along the way, maids and old women were startled by Yun Jinnian’s presence and, seeing the group following behind her, who were clearly not to be messed with, bowed and made way after paying their respects.
Upon reaching the servants’ quarters, Yun Jinnian could smell the stench of blood from a distance.
And the sound of ugly cursing.
Yun Jinnian frowned, "Gag her mouth!"
Qian Mama immediately went forward with her people, didn’t care whether Fen Chen’s wife was injured or not, gagged her mouth, and dragged her out of the house.
When they saw Fen San, they dragged him out as well.
"What do you think you’re doing? Is there no law anymore?" Fen San roared.
He had never imagined that anyone would back up Mrs. Xia.
He kept on shouting.
"Law?" Yun Jinnian stopped, glanced indifferently at Fen San, "You treat your wife like this, heartless and cruel, inhuman and unjust. Do you really think we need to talk about the law with someone like you?"
Fen San, looking at the celestial beauty of Yun Jinnian, was suddenly at a loss for words.
Yun Jinnian looked at him, feeling utter disgust.
She walked into the room.
It was a very small room, very cramped; there was a kang bed, a table, four stools, two wardrobes, and a washstand. It was very clean, however.
"Miss..."
The four Nuandong sisters had cried themselves into a mess. Seeing Yun Jinnian enter, they looked to her like their pillar of strength, all of them full of hope.
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly, checked Mrs. Xia’s pulse, and her expression turned even more grave, "Qian Mama, prepare to move her to my courtyard!"
