[PART 2] Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 380: If the Feng Family Kidnaps You, Where Will I Seek Justice?

On weekends, the Yun family usually had family dinners. Their third uncle and third aunt had been busy with business affairs lately and hadn't visited for two weeks. Their daughter, Yun Kexin, was studying abroad and visited the Yun family even less often.

Problems that could be solved with money weren't a problem for her third uncle.

In the Yun family, the housekeeper had been hired by the third uncle and stayed loyal to him. Yun Xi often saw the housekeeper giving her grandfather money, which she presumed came from the third uncle.

...

In contrast, she saw her second uncle and her second aunt all the time because they lived close by and suffered from mediocre health.

Yun Xi had called Mu Feichi last night to tell the butler to call her home landline very early on Saturday morning and hang up as soon as the call went through.

Yun Xi chose an appropriate time when the people in the villa complex would usually get up, then she washed up and went downstairs. Her mother hadn't dared to sleep in because she wanted to stalk Yun Xi.

Yun Xi had left enough time for her mother to summon her gossipy friends from the villa complex.

From her understanding of her mother's personality, her mother definitely wouldn't want to be alone when forcing a confession...

Without witnesses, there would be no way to obtain hard evidence.

When Yun Xi went downstairs, both Yun Ziling and Liang Xinyi were already up. Yun Chuhan always slept late, and Liang Xiuqin never paid any attention to her anyway.

The landline on the first floor rang on time. The housekeeper picked up the phone and used the lines that she'd rehearsed with Yun Xi to tell her to answer the phone.

"Who is it?" Yun Xi asked deliberately as she came out of the dining room.

"I don't know. It's a man." The housekeeper glanced at the three people in the living room who were holding their breaths as they eavesdropped.

Yun Xi picked up the phone. According to the plan, the other side was supposed to hang up after hearing her voice, but who knew that Mu Feichi would be the one who called?

On the other end of the phone, a man's mellow, charming voice sounded. "Good morning. Since you've set up the stage already, don't you plan on letting me take part in it as well?"

Yun Xi turned her back, narrowed her eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "I wouldn't dare bother your highness!"

If he came, then there would be no need to put on an act.

"If I don't come, and if the Feng family kidnaps you, where will I seek justice?"

Upon seeing that his woman was about to become someone else's daughter-in-law, how could he sit still?

Yun Xi really wanted to yell, "None of your business!"

But there were three people in the living room listening. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, "Don't you believe in me?"

If she hadn't been absolutely sure that the Feng family wouldn't acknowledge her, would she have had the audacity to use her mother as bait? Wouldn't she be digging her own grave?

"I believe in you." Mu Feichi chuckled lightly. "Regarding the Su family, I have sent someone to deliver the news."

"Okay, got it. I'll be over there in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Xi heard Yun Ziling snickering as she turned around. "Sister, you insist that you have nothing to do with Brother Feng, but he just called you so early in the morning. Do you really think we're blind? The rumors circulating in the villa complex are true. Brother Feng is really pursuing you!"

"It's none of your business!" To Yun Ziling, Yun Xi said the words she'd wanted to say to Mu Feichi, but couldn't.

The more she refused to admit it, the more Yun Ziling suspected that there was something going on.

Yun Xi turned around and went into the dining room to have breakfast. She needed to fill her stomach before the drama started.

"Mom, look at her attitude!"

"Don't worry! We'll make her give up the engagement with the Jiang family, and we'll see how smug she is then."

After eating breakfast, Yun Xi went upstairs to get two essays to read and went back downstairs. She glanced at the dining room and living room. Liang Xinyi and Yun Ziling were gone.

She glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who was pretending to pour tea, then turned to go out.

As soon as she left the house, Liang Xiuqin put down her cup and followed her.

That wretched girl was probably meeting up with Young Master Feng, and she was sure that she would be able to catch her red-handed today.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Xi left the house, she walked directly toward the direction of the villa complex where the Feng family lived all the way to their door.

As Liang Xiuqin followed, she sneered, and a smug expression appeared on her face.

It seemed that finally today, she would be able to become in-laws with the Feng family.

If she was able to climb up the social ladder through the Feng family in the villa complex, become in-laws with the Jiang family, and arrange for Yun Chuhan to marry another wealthy young master, in the future she would have ties to all the prominent families.
