Ye Shiqi nodded gently at the old woman guarding the gate, a slight smile on her lips. This gentle deanor was reserved for those she respected and she too deserved respect!
By the ti she arrived, General Grandpa was already eating breakfast. It wasn’t that he was not waiting for her.
"Grandfather, good morning!"
"My granddaughter, you’re here? Grandfather has so matters to attend to at the military camp today. Have a good ti with Grandmother!"
The Old General expressed his apologies. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay back at the mansion to support them, but the Madam’s man seed to have planned this to give him trouble!
"Oh, Grandfather, take care of yourself!"
Ye Shiqi personally brewed tea for her grandfather, adding Space Water into the teapot and made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea. She forgot the space’s honey, and then took a military flask from her space, poured the remaining hot water from the stove into it, and added honey!
As the Old General savored his breakfast, he glanced over here from ti to ti, appreciating the bliss of being able to enjoy his grandchildren’s fortune.
His heart could not be more thrilled and delighted!
The Second Lady was serving by his side, not even minding her own breakfast, having risen even before dawn to get busy!
So things didn’t need his hands-on involvent, yet watching over them, the people around her were limited by the Old Lady, and very few among them were truly loyal in serving him!
So of Old Lady’s people were caught and thrown into the dungeon, and later dismissed by the General!
Remaining by the Old Lady’s side were a few with ager abilities, as the competent ones were lying in bed, gaining an excuse from today’s early morning arrival of maids sent by outsiders claiming for Old Lady’s use!
The bitterness in the Second Lady’s heart was palpable; they surely had their strength gathered to trouble her today!
"It’s wonderful to have a granddaughter!" The Old General, having finished his breakfast, refused the guard’s offer to hold the flask. He insisted on holding it himself. The water brewed personally by his granddaughter was not to be drunk by anyone else!
"Hehe!" Ye Shiqi laughed, sending her grandfather off!
"Tell Heir Ye to go to the military camp by himself later," the Old General told a guard at his side.
"Yes," the guard acknowledged and left.
The Old General watched as the guard fetched a horse, and left the mansion with a few guards.
Ye Haohuan was about to have breakfast at the Old General’s courtyard when he heard that the Old General had already gone to the military camp, and at that mont, a maid brought him breakfast!
He could only eat his breakfast in peace and then head to the military camp with his guards.
As he and so guards were exiting the main gate, preparing to mount their horses, a few carriages arrived. It seed that these people had arranged to co this early. While everyone else was having breakfast, did the guests need to co so early for breakfast?
Ye Haohuan did not even look at them. Regardless of whether these people were related to the General Mansion, he did not want to bother with these won!
He ignored everyone else, but that didn’t stop them from hassling him!
"My lord, please wait,"
spoke a maid around fifteen or sixteen years old who got down from a carriage and then helped a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady out of the carriage.
The situation was similar with the other carriages; they all competed to chauffeur, eager to introduce themselves to the young Master!
Ye Haohuan... Had the frontier’s customs beco so bold?
These won, each one so unattractive, yet they dared strut in front of , the young Master!
Ye Haohuan mounted his horse, intending to gallop away when soone daringly blocked his horse!
In front of him was a maid from among those won!
Ye Haohuan angrily scolded:
"Get out of the way... or I’ll trample you without any responsibility!"
"Heir Ye, our Lady wishes to get acquainted with the young Master!" the Maid said boldly. By doing so, she was risking her life while trying to please her Lady, because if her Lady really got along with this Heir, she would have a chance to beco the son-in-law’s person!
And she would have the opportunity to go to the Capital City! To enjoy wealth and honor!
With a single glance from Ye Haohuan, the guards around him drew their swords with a "clang", and one of them put his sword to the Maid’s neck, then dragged her aside, and pushed her down!
Not caring for frailty or beauty at all, the sudden change of events terrified the Maid, who fell to the ground shivering with pain and did not dare to get up again to interfere!
The other won had never seen such a situation before; they were the Heavenly Pride Girls of this Oasis, only they looked down on others, who could deny them face when they eagerly wanted to get acquainted?
They had never encountered such refusal, not even given face!
This man, seemingly gentle and like an Immortal, bore no resemblance to the tenderness he showed to little girls yesterday. Now, he seed like a cold and ruthless Asura!
The won stood frozen in fear, covering their mouths with handkerchiefs to suppress their trembling!
They opened their mouths intending to speak, but could not utter a word!
Ye Haohuan didn’t even bother to give them a glance, and galloped away on his horse!
"Tap tap tap tap"
The guards all mounted their horses and followed the Heir!
The Soldiers guarding the gates of the General Mansion, these two were left by the General to guard the gates; they saw everything!
Soldiers... tsk tsk, these are the noble ladies of the Oasis!
The noble ladies felt unwilling; such a good opportunity, yet they failed to keep this man!
They could only stomp their feet in frustration, as they had co early just to et this man!
They composed their expressions, haughtily lifted their heads, and puffed out their chests as they prepared to enter the General Mansion!
"What are you looking at? Where are the people from your house? Not coming out to greet important guests!"
One maid, facing the two Soldiers guarding the door, vented the anger she had just experienced!
"Oh, important guests, you say? Our master is currently busy having breakfast. Didn’t you have breakfast at your mansion? Or did you co here to have breakfast with us?" One Soldier cheekily retorted.
"How dare you! A soldier of the General Mansion dares to speak to our Lady like that, do you know who we are?"
The shaful scene just now was witnessed by these won. They had heard that their companion was coming and didn’t wait for their mothers, arriving early at the General Mansion to et up!
Earlier, multiple won trying to stop a noble young man on this street, everyone passing by, those with stalls, or even distant shops, all had seen and gathered to watch!
"Our house servant is right, dear elder sisters, have you not had your breakfast after coming here for so long? Please, co in and have breakfast!"
The soldiers guarding the gate had already run in to report as soon as these won, with their carriage, tried to intercept the noble young man!
Ye Shiqi was having breakfast with her grandmother and heard about the situation. She had finished her al and it was a good ti to et these bold won!
As soon as she reached the door, she heard their arrogant words. Ye Shiqi did not retaliate angrily but responded with mocking words and a smile on her face!
"So you are the granddaughter of the Second Lady? Truly a face fit for seduction."
The speaker was a daughter of the Oasis City Lord! With an arrogant deanor, she looked at Ye Shiqi, who was about eleven or twelve years old with such good skin. She was jealous that Ye Haohuan had been so gentle and nice to her, yet so harsh towards them just now!
"Which family does this elder sister belong to? Your little sister doesn’t recognize you yet! Oh, look at your skin, weather-beaten by the wind and sun, even an old grandmother has better skin than yours; yours are way too rough!"
