When the walking stick thumped on the floor, it was as if it thumped on Yuan Shuangrui’s heart, making her shocked and scared.
“Grandma, I did it for the sake of the marriage with the Han family, so it can strengthen our family.”
Yuan Shuangrui wanted to use the Han family as her amulet. When she heard of the firearms smuggling incident, she was scared to her wits as well.
The Lu family had been seized because of the firearms smuggling incident. They were fortunate that Majesty Kang protected the Yuan family.
Seeing the expression on Yuan Shuangrui’s face, the Old Lady merely said, “Don’t think you got lucky. The next time, Majesty Kang might really just treat the Yuan family like a pawn to be discarded. So your most important goal now is to settle your relationship matters with Han Mubai. If you can set a date for the marriage early, it would be best.”
“Yes, Grandma.”
Just as Yuan Shuangrui was about to heave a sigh of relief, the Old Lady narrowed her eyes and said, “Shuangrui, you must know that if your marriage with the Han family did not come to fruition, Grandma will have to reconsider your position seriously.”
Yuan Shuangrui widened her eyes. “Grandma, you promised me back then.”
“I did promise you. I remember I said that once you deal with the Qin family and make the Qin family our subordinate, I will support you to become the heir.”
“But why, Grandma? Why are you saying such things now?” Yuan Shuangrui was really scared deep down. She knew that in noble families, if she lost her status, she would be nothing. If that were to happen, her marriage to Han Mubai would be canceled.
The Old Lady merely replied, “Shuangrui, back then, Grandma chose you for your heartlessness and ruthlessness. You are still like that now, but you didn’t handle the issue with the Qin family well. Now, Qin Huailing has even come to the capital. You failed to assassinate him the previous time, didn’t you?”
Yuan Shuangrui’s body shook as she said, “Grandma, I won’t let him live.”
“You think he will wait for you to assassinate him a second time after you failed the first time?”
“I’m sorry, Grandma. It’s my fault!”
The Old Lady thumped her walking stick and continued, “Although I have retired, you won’t be able to hide things from me. You just need to hold on to the Han family and make sure that your wedding will proceed. Your position won’t change then.”
“Yes, Grandma.” In between breaths, Yuan Shuangrui could finally relax.
Before the Old Lady walked out of the door, she turned and looked at Yuan Shuangrui. “Shuangrui, you must remember. When you’re dealing with men, you can use some feminine means.”
After saying that, the Old Lady left.
Yuan Shuangrui knew that this was the Old Lady’s reminder to her. She thought about it, and her gaze flickered. If… If she could speed things up between them, given how responsible Han Mubai was, he would definitely marry her.
Just as Yuan Shuangrui was rushing to speed things up with Han Mubai, an underground tunnel was being dug beneath their house.
Everything was done without a soul noticing, leaving the Yuan family clueless to their impending doom.
…
When Han Mubai was working in his office, his phone suddenly rang. However, he did not look up and just continued with his work.
Later, when he was finished, he looked at his phone and saw that he received a photo. It looked like a letter written in blood.
After looking at it, Han Mubai’s expression changed, and a deep glow flashed across his eyes.
He leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes to think. After a moment, he reined in his emotions and continued to work, as though he had not seen that photo just now.
No one knew what was on his mind right now.
On the other hand, Yun Bixue remained in the hospital to recuperate. Every time the doctor came in to check, he would say that everything was fine and the baby was very healthy.
However, Xie Limo was still worried, so her stay in the hospital kept getting extended.
Today, when Yun Bixue was feeling bored, Xiajun Zihao came to visit her.
