Yun Manman did not look at Yun Wang's pale, frightened face.
She turned her gaze straight to Yun Fa, her voice still indifferent, revealing little emotion.
"Still not going to get lost? You're trespassing in a private residence. Even if I injure you, the authorities won't do anything to me. Besides, I have silver. I believe the authorities will take my side."
Yun Fa looked at Yun Manman with a complicated gaze. This girl used to be quiet and afraid of strangers. How had her personality suddenly changed so drastically, and how had she become so formidable?
"Husband, husband, are you all right?"
"My son! How badly is your leg hurt? You've lost so much blood! You money-losing girl, you actually hurt my son! I'll fight you to the death today!"
Yun Manman's expression was filled with annoyance. Her eyes coldly looked down on the person charging at her, killing intent flashing through their depths as the aura around her abruptly changed.
Her outstretched palm swept straight toward the charging Old Woman Yun.
Old Woman Yun landed like a rag doll on the straw mat by the courtyard gate, her face instantly twisting in pain.
Before anyone could react, they saw a white-clad afterimage flash rapidly.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
The members of the Yun Family were thrown out of the courtyard one after another, all in too much pain to straighten up.
Everyone in the courtyard was so shocked that they dared not blink. When had they ever witnessed such a scene?
This girl...
Yun Manman walked slowly out of the courtyard, looking coldly down at the people sprawled on the ground, her tone carrying a trace of irritation and warning.
"Get back to your own dog kennel. Out of consideration for the uncles and neighbors visiting my home today, I won't pursue your trespassing. Don't come provoking me again!"
The corners of Yun Manman's lips slowly curled upward, and intense killing intent instantly flooded her purple eyes.
She bent down slightly, drawing close to Old Man Yun, Old Woman Yun, and Yun Wang. Her voice was quiet, but they heard every word clearly.
"I will take your worthless lives, but not today. Old Woman Yun, Yun Wang, have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time?"
Old Man Yun abruptly raised his head to look at the devil-like girl, the emotions in his eyes tangled and unreadable.
Old Woman Yun and Yun Wang were stunned by Yun Manman's words. They looked at her in terror, unable to believe that she had actually said she would kill them.
That incident had been her doing too, and such a bizarre incident at that.
"You... you... it was you!"
Yun Manman swept a contemptuous glance over them.
She turned and went straight into the courtyard, while those behind her remained on the ground, digesting what had happened. No one dared utter another curse.
Old Woman Yun and Yun Wang in particular had panicked eyes and pale faces, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They had experienced that pain worse than death firsthand.
As Yun Manman stepped into the courtyard, she saw the looks she had expected: some frightened and fearful, some cautious, and some boys' eyes filled with envy.
Yun Manman gently lowered her lashes to conceal the emotions in her eyes, took a few slow steps forward, and raised her gaze again.
A faint smile filled her eyes, as though everything that had just happened had been a dream.
"Uncles and aunties, you may not yet know what kind of person I, Yun Manman, am. So long as people don't bully, insult, or harm me or my family, I certainly won't hurt anyone."
Watching everyone gradually relax, Yun Manman swept her gaze over the table.
"Stay for dinner too. My father will go buy some more meat, so eat as much as you like. My family's affairs gave you all a fright today. Consider this my apology."
Seeing Yun Manman's attitude, along with that pretty face, everyone gradually relaxed.
They had watched this girl grow up, but had only interacted with her over these past few months. Although she usually said little, she always wore a smile.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and they had never seen her lose her temper.
Thinking about what had happened today, the old Yun family must have gone too far.
If she had not stood firm today, this courtyard would have had nothing to do with Yun Zhen's family from now on.
"Lass Yun, you did the right thing today. You protected your father and kept your courtyard. Otherwise, you would have had a miserable time of it."
"Exactly! Rough fellows like us don't need an apology. Hahaha!"
"That's right! That's right! Lass Yun, you were already gentle today. If you ask me, your Auntie Zhou, you should have taken a hammer and beaten them out right from the start!"
The group all spoke over one another, comforting Yun Manman.
Yun Manman once again wore her customary smile, standing there obediently listening, with not a trace of impatience in her expression.
Meanwhile,
The old Yun family supported Yun Wang as they all stared at their own large tiled house, now without a roof.
Their eyes held resentment and bitter envy. They had once thought this courtyard was excellent, but now that they had seen that residence and come back to look again,
This was nothing but a thatched hut, not to mention that the roof really was thatch.
Old Woman Yun and Yun Wang both cursed under their breaths. Their faces and eyes betrayed traces of panic. They were clearly still afraid, yet unwilling to let the matter end like this.
Old Man Yun knitted his untidy brows, his eyes full of regret and venom.
For the first time, he felt some regret. If they had not severed ties back then, he would now have had both prestige and tangible benefits.
"Get inside already! Are you standing in the doorway because you expect me to open the door for you? Are you just like that little bitch, not taking me seriously either?"
As for the old Yun family's squabbling,
Yun Manman paid it no attention at all. After reassuring everyone in the courtyard, she returned to her own courtyard.
She had just sat down and taken out several Returning Lotus Fruits to place on the table when Guagua's excited voice rang out.
"Master, that family's resentment toward you is absolutely intense now! My space has grown quite a bit, and even the points have gone up. What am I going to do with you?"
Yun Manman looked at the bright red fruit in her hand, a cold gleam flashing through her purple eyes. "It looks like it's time now. Then I'll simply take their worthless lives one by one."
Behind her, Yuanwei and Yun Mo both looked worried. Yuanwei nodded to Yun Mo, then stood behind Yun Manman and gently kneaded her shoulders.
"Sister Man, should we deal with the old Yun family ahead of time?"
Yun Manman raised a brow and looked at Yuanwei behind her. "Why would you think that?"
She had always thought Yuanwei was simple-hearted. Even now that Yuanwei was learning martial arts from her, she was still not ruthless enough. She had not expected Yuanwei to be so direct about dealing with the Yun Family.
Yun Mo stepped forward and spoke to Yun Manman, a hint of caution in the voice.
"Sister Man, I followed them all the way after they left here just now. Those people were insulting you the whole way, and..."
Yun Mo stole a cautious glance at Yun Manman. Yun Manman lifted her eyelids slightly, her voice revealing no emotion.
"Go on."
"In my view, although they're afraid of you now, I feel that their rotten nature hasn't changed.
"They may still scheme against the family, or even hurt you directly, so I think you shouldn't let them off, Sister Man."
Yuanwei remained behind her, obediently massaging her shoulders, and gently shook her head at Yun Mo.
They had already told her what had happened. Exactly what to do was still up to Sister Man herself.
