195: Grandma, just say it!

"My ancestor, my dear auntie, what do you want? Just say it!"

Huangfu Rui urged impatiently.

Huangfu Yunyan then spoke indifferently: "I want to go to Liang Province with you."

He thought Huangfu Yunyan would make some Heaven-Defying request, but he hadn't expected it to be this.

It immediately left him dazed.

"If you want to go, then go. No money? Or do you need bodyguards? I'll arrange everything for you."

"No, I want to go with you."

Huangfu Rui was stunned. "No, why are you pestering me? With money and bodyguards, can't you go wherever you want?"

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head. "I must follow you. You will take me as your traveling maid. I want to attend the Expedition Banquet hosted by the Jiang Family with you. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Jiang Family governing Liang Province. The anniversary and the Expedition Banquet will be held together; it will definitely be extraordinarily lively."

Hearing this, Huangfu Rui understood a bit. Huangfu Yunyan had sacrificed her body just to use the opportunity of his participation in the Liangzhou Trial to enter the Jiang Family.

"I can take you, but you have to tell me what exactly you intend to do?"

Huangfu Yunyan's gaze turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "On the day of the banquet, in front of everyone, I want to expose the matter of Feng Ming marrying his sister-in-law on behalf of his brother."

"I want Feng Ming dead and the Feng Family destroyed."

As she spoke these words, Huangfu Yunyan's entire body radiated coldness and Evil Qi.

Huangfu Rui immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. It wasn't because of Huangfu Yunyan's strength, but her obsession with hatred; she had been planning this since she entered the Sect.

She could even endure seeing her enemy every day without taking action.

"I can understand your desire for revenge, but there's no need to go this far. Setting aside whether you can persuade the Jiang Family—after all, they didn't specify who should marry Jiang Shuwan, everyone just assumed it would be Feng Mian."

"What if the Jiang Family Head doesn't care about Face? What if he doesn't care who marries Jiang Shuwan?"

"Besides, if you just wait a bit, maybe our family will deal with Feng Ming for you?"

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head, a hint of mockery on her Face. "Do you think I would go to such great lengths if the Huangfu Family were still of any use?"

"What do you mean?"

The Huangfu Family was Huangfu Rui's greatest backing. Hearing Huangfu Yunyan say this, his Face immediately darkened. He even began to feel that the woman before him was a nuisance.

He had to find an opportunity to get rid of her to avoid future trouble.

If last night's events were leaked, he would be beyond redemption.

Seeing him in deep thought, Huangfu Yunyan sneered, "Are you thinking of getting rid of me?"

"I advise you not to have such thoughts. Once something happens to me, my maid will expose everything. Of course, if you really want to kill me, I don't care. Anyway, I'll have the entire Huangfu Family for company. Aside from not getting my revenge, I have nothing to lose."

Huangfu Rui's expression darkened. "What exactly do you mean?"

"I mean, the duel between the Huangfu Family and the Feng Family began last night, and the Huangfu Family lost. The assets and people your father transferred in advance were all captured by Lu Zhenfeng."

"This includes Huangfu Jing, who took over the position of Family Head. Of course, your father also left a message for you, telling you to Cultivate well and strive for a good ranking in the trial. I don't need to tell you what follows; you can talk about revenge once you have the ability."

"To put it bluntly, you are just like me now—homeless."

Hearing this, Huangfu Rui could no longer sit still. It felt like a bolt from the blue.

Every word from Huangfu Yunyan was like a heavy hammer striking Huangfu Rui's heart, causing him to completely lose his reason.

"I don't believe it!"

Huangfu Rui immediately tried to run outside, wanting to verify Huangfu Yunyan's words.

Huangfu Yunyan spoke indifferently: "You are welcome to go out and try. As long as you aren't afraid of death and aren't afraid of the whole world knowing about your illicit affair with your cousin, you can go out naked. Otherwise, close the door and behave yourself."

Huangfu Rui stood at the door but ultimately did not walk out. He closed the door and turned around, full of confusion. "The Huangfu Family has been destroyed; why do you still want to use me?"

Huangfu Yunyan put down her comb and stood up. "If I hadn't used my body to keep you here last night, you would probably be a corpse by now! You should be glad you still have utility value."

While speaking, Huangfu Yunyan had already walked up to Huangfu Rui. "Your father already made a choice for you and Huangfu Jing. His talent wasn't as good as yours, so he was called back to inherit the Huangfu Family, while you were chosen to Cultivate well. This was so that even if the Huangfu Family was destroyed, someone would seek revenge for them."

"But as for you, once you heard the news, it would have been absolutely impossible for you to stay behind alone. So, I designed a way to keep you here. In other words, I am now your savior."

At this point, Huangfu Yunyan's tone softened slightly.

"The Huangfu Family is gone. If you still consider yourself a son of the Huangfu Family, then don't be so indecisive. Even I, a concubines daughter, can endure so much for revenge. Can't you?"

It was a provocation, but it clearly had some effect on Huangfu Rui.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"First, survive well, then seek revenge. Don't worry about whether I'm using or threatening you; our goals are the same."

"Put the matter of the Feng Family aside for now. Wait for the Liangzhou Trial in eight months. We will reveal everything at the Jiang Family's banquet. That will be our opportunity."

After Huangfu Yunyan finished, Huangfu Rui sneered, "Why do you think Feng Ming will let me go?"

"Because you weren't involved. As long as you go to the Sect Master to plead for mercy, stating you knew nothing about it and that you never left the whole time—as long as the Dean believes you and pleads on your behalf, Lu Zhenfeng will definitely let you go."

Huangfu Rui sneered: "Then wouldn't it be safer if I just ran away?"

Huangfu Yunyan's Face turned cold. "Setting others aside, if you dare to run from me, I'll make sure you die without a burial place. You think you can just run after sleeping with me? What kind of wishful thinking is that?"

She had plotted for so long, and it wasn't just for a moment of pleasure with Huangfu Rui.

The main reason was that Huangfu Rui had something worth utilizing.

Not only could he take her to Liang Province, but he could also help her eliminate Feng Ming.

While speaking, Huangfu Yunyan's Face was hideous, but after she finished, she returned to being gentle, leaning into Huangfu Rui's ear.

"Then again, although I schemed against you, you aren't losing out. At least from now on, you can come to my bed whenever you want."

"You!"

Huangfu Rui couldn't help but swallow hard.

It wasn't out of desire, but entirely out of fear.

This was no cousin; she was a complete scorpion.

Yet, Huangfu Rui had no choice!

He couldn't flee, and he couldn't stay.

He had to find a way to avenge his father and brother. For now, he could only cooperate with Huangfu Yunyan.

"Where are you going?"

Huangfu Rui put on his clothes and was about to leave.

Huangfu Yunyan looked wary, her Face gloomy.

Huangfu Rui gave her an annoyed look. "Where else could I go? To the Sect Master to plead for mercy!"
