Chapter 139 Some people and some things will eventually have to be faced (2)
Xiao Chuhan was worried that Lan Xi would be bullied after returning to the Ye Mansion, so he decided to escort her back personally. Although they were not friendly to Wuyou in the past, considering Xiao Chuhan's face, General Ye's family should not embarrass Wuyou again.
Lan Xi knew the intention of Xiao Chuhan's action. He just wanted to make sure that the people of the Ye family would not dare to bully her without scruples. However, Ye Wuyou today is no longer the timid woman of the past. She is a cold-blooded female killer who is not at the mercy of others! Although her martial arts in modern times may be slightly inferior to those of the ancients, it is more than enough to protect herself and avoid danger.
Xiao Chuhan arrived at the Ye Mansion with Lan Xi. Even though General Ye and his family were dissatisfied with Wuyou, they had to give Xiao Chuhan some face at this moment.
After all, Wuyou is now the Queen of Chu and has a respected status, so the people of the Ye family naturally can no longer treat her as they did in the past.
Early in the morning, General Ye ordered the servants of the Ye Mansion to get busy. General Ye, his wife, his daughter, and her husband were waiting in front of the gate of the Ye Mansion, anxiously awaiting their arrival.
When they saw Xiao Chuhan and others arriving, General Ye and others hurried forward to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Queen, you are so honored to be here. Please come in and have a rest!"
Lan Xi stared at General Ye in front of her, thinking to herself: This is Ye Wuyou's biological father. He is handsome, but he can be so cruel to his own daughter. Maybe the only right thing he has ever done is to marry Wuyou to the emperor.
Lan Xi followed General Ye's gaze and saw the selfish young lady and her husband. This was Wuyou's eldest sister, a woman with deep scheming.
Ye Xinyi walked to Lan Xi in a flattering manner, took Lan Xi's arm and said, "Sister, I miss you so much! Why don't you come home to see me more often? Come on, come on, I have prepared a generous gift for you. I will take you to see it now."
However, Lan Xi couldn't stand those hypocritical people the most. Lan Xi shook off her elder sister who was holding her arm and said unhappily, "I didn't come here to chat with you about family matters and old times."
Everyone in the Ye Mansion was shocked by Lan Xi's sudden action, but no one dared to say a word.
Lan Xi turned her gaze to her father and asked, "Father, why can't I see Brother A-li?"
"Li'er has gone out to do some work and will be back later. Let's go inside first." General Ye responded politely.
Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan beside her tenderly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Lan Xi walked towards Xiao Chuhan lightly, gently took Xiao Chuhan's arm, and the two walked side by side towards Ye Mansion.
Xiao Chuhan stared at Lan Xi's every move, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes. When Lan Xi approached, Xiao Chuhan lowered his voice and whispered in Lan Xi's ear: "You'er, you seem to be very different today than before."
Lan Xi responded in a low voice: "I really can't stand those hypocritical people. If they didn't see you here, how could they be so attentive to me? In the past, I always thought that we are a family after all, and I can ignore how they treat me. However, after all the experiences during this period of time, I deeply understand a truth - a good horse is ridden by others, and a good person is bullied by others. Since they are unkind and unjust to me, don't blame me for retaliating!"
Although Wuyou is no longer the timid woman she used to be, Xiao Chuhan likes her more and more now. At least, Wuyou is no longer submissive and submissive like she used to be. Wuyou now bravely fights for her rights and never lets herself be wronged again.
Looking at the strong and confident Wuyou in front of him, Xiao Chuhan felt relieved. Perhaps it was because Wuyou had experienced so many ups and downs that he had changed so much. And this change also made Xiao Chuhan realize that even without him by his side, Wuyou could protect himself well.
The road of life is always full of variables, and people gradually grow and transform in constant experience. Perhaps only after experiencing more setbacks and hardships can we truly understand the true meaning of life and find our own direction. At this moment, Wuyou is interpreting all this with practical actions...
Seeing General Ye's hypocritical concern for Lan Xi, Lan Xi felt sick in her heart. If she was not the Queen of Chu, if Xiao Chuhan was not worthy of her returning to the Ye Mansion today, why would the people of the Ye Mansion welcome her with such a grand ceremony like today? Xiao Chuhan could see that Lan Xi did not like such a scene. Xiao Chuhan asked Jiuer to accompany Lan Xi back to her room first. Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan gratefully. In this era, Xiao Chuhan really understood herself, but he and Xiao Chuhan met each other at the wrong time. She already had someone she liked, and Xiao Chuhan's heart had always liked the worry-free past. There was no result between them.
