Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack

22

Si YuFan laid his plans out. They dare treat XunMi like this? Yu family really has reached the end of the road. They had no real use. Keeping them around would just be a waste of space.

Nian Zheng seriously looked at Si YuFan before nodding his head. He patted his shoulder and sighed. "I'm entrusting you with Xiao Xun. She had a rough childhood so I hope you will protect her well. Make sure she doesn't get hurt." Besides his identity as a revered marshal, he was just an ordinary grandfather. His granddaughter had only been a few years old when she lost her parents. Afterwards, he had sent her away to a faraway planet. He didn't want to think about the kind of loneliness and helplessness that she experienced there. Who knew that just as she felt like she had gained a companion, this would be her outcome? Luckily, there had still been enough time for them to turn the situation around.
XunMi didn't know what Nian Zheng was thinking but she could guess. She grabbed Nian Zheng's hand and said cutely, "Grandfather, don't worry about me. I'm not that weak."

Si YuFan lightly nodded his head solemnly in agreement. "Grandfather, don't worry. XunMi is my life. If anyone dared to hurt her, I'll make sure to turn them into ash." XunMi was so extraordinary, so beautiful, so wonderful. He needed to make her his first. He already decided so no one was allowed to come try to steal her away. He turned to Yu HeTian. Seeing him stiffen, Si YuFan's eyes filled with killing intent. "Since Marshal Yu cares so much about those wild animals, then you can go service them yourself. Guards! Send him away. Take this one with you too." He might as well treat them together so that neither of them could jump out to cause trouble in the future.

XunMi didn't have much of a reaction. As long as the scum man and his other woman's conclusion was bad, she could relax.
Yu HeTian was truly shocked. The soldier from earlier had said the woman had no worthy background, that she was only able to come in today due to Marshal Si. In his eyes, Si YuFan wouldn't oppose Yu family just for a woman. That was why he was able to decide to punish XunMi without even reviewing the situation. But now, they were saying this woman was Nian Zheng's granddaughter? Yu family definitely couldn't go up against Nian family and Si family together. Although he didn't have much talent in the military, Yu HeTian's brain was up to par. He could clearly see the pros and cons of the situation. But, how exactly was he supposed to turn this around? Before he could think of a solution, Si YuFan's men appeared.

Without saying a word, they grabbed him. They didn't care if he was a marshal or a president. They only listened to Si YuFan's orders. If he said to take him away, they were going to take him away. It was obvious that Si YuFan's deterrence and authority in the military was number one.
Yu HeTian broke out of the two military men's grasp and tried to calm himself down. "Si YuFan, what do you mean? I still have my position as Marshal. Even if you want to act against me, you still have to go through the military court and get their approval. You're abusing your power right now. I have the right to arrest you." The empire had always been composed of the three largest marshals, the court, and the parliament. All the sections were set up to obstruct any unfair or unjust things from occurring. Si YuFan's current actions were equivalent to breaking the law.

Unfortunately, Yu HeTian didn't know that the court and parliament had already been sitting in the palm of Si YuFan's hands. Both sides were all willing to gain his favor, much less overlook a power move for him. Even if he didn't gain their permission, they wouldn't be able to make a sound.
When Yi Ling heard that he was also being dragged to the beast feeding zone, and even his father-in-law had no way of getting out of this, he promptly fainted from fear.
XunMi's lips twitched. As expected of scum. He could faint from such a minor sign of trouble. He didn't have a backbone. Luckily, he hadn't clung onto the original soul or else she probably wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to smack him away early on.

Si YuFan and Nian Zheng looked down at Yu HeTian's behavior with disdain. Everytime there was something he couldn't handle on his own, he would pull out the court and the parliament.

"Speaking with you is a waste of my saliva. Drag him out. Such a good banquet has become so bleak because of you." Si YuFan waved his hands. A few large soldiers quickly rushed forward and took Yu HeTian off the grounds.

Those that had run over from Hall 2 watched perplexed at this scene. So this was the old marshal's granddaughter. 100 rumors are not even comparable to one glance. No wonder she was the old marshal's granddaughter. She had a transparent air of nobility, making her stand out among the other young misses in the crowd.

The one smiling the most was Si YuFan's mother. Her no-feelings son had finally asked her about emotions. She had been so excited that day that she couldn't even sleep. This son of hers was finally beginning to see women. But a few days later, he walked around all sullen. She almost thought her son had been rejected. Fortunately, her son could finally start being peaceful again after today. Mother Si was feeling very happy. In her head, she was already planning when to prepare their wedding. Marshal Nian's granddaughter. Whether it was background or the girl's temperament, everything about her was very suitable for her son. But she wasn't that conservative either. As long as they loved each other, she wouldn't object. Since the girl obviously was interested in her son as well, all was well.
XunMi felt a sudden chill run down her back but it quickly disappeared. She raised an eyebrow. She didn't just become the target of someone else's schemes, right?

Si YuFan put his hands on her shoulders and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? What about we leave first. It's already so late, let's go get something to eat."

She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 11 PM. Time really flew by. XunMi thought for a second before nodding her head. She had done what she needed to do already, so there was no real point in staying. Besides, weren't there many future opportunities to network anyways?

"Grandfather, are you staying or should I follow you back first?" XunMi tilted her head and asked.

"You two go eat. I'll return later, don't worry." Nian Zheng patted the hand XunMi hooked around his arm.
"Alright, then Uncle An and Jiang ge, please take care of my grandfather for me. Let me know if there is anything." XunMi asked the people standing on guard next to Nian Zheng.
"Young miss, don't worry. We'll take care of old marshal." An Kang smiled and replied.

Si YuFan took XunMi's hand and walked away with satisfaction, completely disregarding the mess he made that still needed to be cleaned up.

Mother Si happily went off to help clean up the mess. Nothing should be as important to her son as the task of pursuing her future daughter-in-law.
The two elders of the respective families harmonious came together and began discussing their juniors'wedding.
