Chapter Fifty-Three The Power I Bestowed

  "What? When did Lingmu Manor become a place where you get to call the shots?" The people below all listened to Ye Yun's words and uniformly stood aside.

  As an elder of Lingmu Mountain Villa, Yu Shi felt as if he had been slapped in the face, a burning pain.

  "It's been a while. What? Don't you know?" Ye Yun stood up, glanced at Yu Shi with a hint of indifference, and walked forward with a smile, not giving Yu Shi a chance to explode in anger. She continued, "You want to discipline your granddaughter, I'm too lazy to intervene. However, since you're on my turf, you have to follow my rules. If you want to move my people, you need to get my consent first. Whoever wants to throw a tantrum on my turf, even if it's the King of Heaven himself, I won't give them any face."

  Ye Yun glanced faintly at the corner and said, "Dong Er, hurry up and escort your mistress back to her room!"

  "Yes, yes." Dong Er immediately ran out from the corner, carefully and cautiously helping Ling Wei up from her daze.

  Ye Yun looked at Ling Wei with a profound meaning and said: "Go back and reflect on yourself. I'll go see you later."

  After finishing speaking, she waved her hand at Dong Er.

  Dong Er carefully supported Ling Wei as they slowly walked towards Ling Wei's Butterfly Rain Pavilion.

  Ye Yun glanced at Mrs. Yu faintly, "Old lady, now it's clear who's in charge of the Lingwu Mountain Villa, right? I let you stay at the Lingwu Mountain Villa because you said you wanted to teach Ling Wei. My brother and I thought that since you've been living with my elder brother for many years and haven't seen much of Ling Wei, it was only natural that you'd want to get closer to your granddaughter. But what you've been doing recently doesn't look like any kind of teaching to me, and not at all like a grandmother's behavior - more like looking for trouble."

  "What have you done to her? Our family's young lady, even if she is arrogant and spoiled, what's wrong with that? Has she committed murder or arson? At most, she is just inexperienced and easily influenced. She is still young, after experiencing many things, she will naturally understand more. Who can become wise overnight? Is scolding and beating considered teaching? Is venting one's own dissatisfaction considered teaching?"

  Yu's face turned alternately pale and red as he listened to Ye Yun's words.

  "How detestable! You're such a lowly person! What business is it of yours to interfere with the affairs of our Ling family?"

  Ye Yun coldly smiled, "Haven't you heard the saying 'older sister is like mother'? Who says I can't interfere with Ling Wei's affairs? As long as it's within this Ling Mu Mountain Villa, everything is under my control!"

  Yu's family was so angry that they slapped the table with a "pa" sound, "Who gave you such great power!"

  "It was me." A calm and cold voice intervened at just the right time.

  Ye Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure in white clothes, Ling Feng, walking towards her with slow steps. Although his pace was slow, he had already arrived by her side in the blink of an eye, bringing with him a refreshing scent of lavender.

  Under the sunlight, a halo surrounds him, and with his beautiful face that is like a god's residence, it's...

  Monster! Ye Yun silently cursed in her heart.

  "Grandma, Auntie, what are you two acting out this time?" Ling Feng smiled, but the chill emanating from his body was enough to freeze everyone in their tracks.

  Yu also restrained some of her anger, because she knew that once Ling Feng got angry, it would be even harder to reason with him.

  "Ah, Wind, you've come just in time! I was just scolding your sister, she actually dared to obstruct me!"

  "Grandma, Yun'er is concerned about her sister, which is a good thing. As an elder sister-in-law, it's normal for her to protect her younger sister." Ling Feng's two casual sentences directly shut up Yu Shi, leaving her speechless. "Actually, I'm curious about something - why did Grandma want to scold her sister? Ah, Auntie, what brings you here today?"

  "I've come to propose a marriage between you and your sister." Wang looked at Ye Yun secretly, observing her expression.

  "Talking about marriage? Which young master is it? Yuner, are you satisfied?"

  "Pfft!" Ye Yun spat out crudely, glaring at the person beside her with a bad temper, "What's the use of me being satisfied? You should ask your sister if she's satisfied. Moreover, Auntie's choice isn't just some simple character."

  "Oh? Who is it?" Ling Feng wrapped one arm around Ye Yun's waist and drew her intimately close to himself.

  "It's the Crown Prince!" Yu Shi said eagerly, "Feng'er, the Crown Prince is at the Magistrate's residence, think of a way to introduce your sister to him. If we can gain the Crown Prince's favor, our Ling family will rise to greatness."

  Although Ling Feng remained expressionless, he tightened his grip on Ye Yun's hand. "Introduce Wei Er to the Crown Prince? There are countless beauties around him, and those more beautiful than Wei Er are uncountable. Grandma and Auntie should not have this idea."

  Yu Shi was unwilling to give up at this point, "If Wei Er can win the prince's favor and gain his exclusive affection..."

  "Grandma, Wei Er doesn't want to, does she?" Ling Feng directly broke off Yu Shi's beautiful dream, "So you just wanted to teach her a lesson?"

  Yu Shi suddenly remembered his promise not to force Ling Wei and quickly denied it.

  "Of course not! It's Wei'er who is shameless, actually saying such an outrageous thing. Who is Chai Jin? Just a lowly servant from our village! How dare he! If something like this really happened, I'd be too ashamed to show my face in public!"

  Ling Feng lowered his head and looked at Ye Yun, "Is this really true?"

  Ye Yun nodded, "She has made up her mind, she won't marry anyone but Chai Jin."

  Ling Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Where is she now? I'll go take a look."

  "I had Dong'er escort her back. Let's go together." Ye Yun turned around and swept a glance at the two elderly people present, "Do you two have any further teachings?"

  "We're off!" Yu Shi let out a heavy hum, glared at the two of them and then returned to the Emerald Tower.

  "Well, I'm going back too." Mr. Wang was a little afraid of Ye Yun and hastily left with a smile.

  Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Yun Er's deterrent power is much stronger than that of her husband."

  Ye Yun glared at Ling Feng with a bad temper, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go find Ling Wei. She was slapped by the old lady and just walked away stupidly."

  "What?" Ling Feng frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Wei'er has been spoiled since she was young, her father never dared to hit her."

  "It's good for her to learn a lesson." Ye Yun didn't sympathize with Ling Wei, a spoiled child needs some setbacks to grow up. "However, she bravely spoke out her thoughts and was willing to argue with the old lady, I quite appreciate this point."

  This is rare among ancient women, no, it should be said that even in modern times. Girls who bravely pursue their own happiness are not many.

  Pressure from reality often forces many people to give in.

  Love is driven by passion, but marriage, once it involves the mundane aspects of life, cannot be explained in just a few words.

  "Thanks to Ye Yun for not holding a grudge and helping Wei'er out." Ling Feng knew about the animosity between Ling Wei and Ye Yun. Today, Ye Yun's willingness to lend a hand to Ling Wei was somewhat unexpected, making Ling Feng look at her with even more admiration.

  "Now let's see the result of her reflection. I hope she won't disappoint me," said Ye Yun.

  Ling Feng raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, "Yun'er is willing to help Wei'er?"
