Ye Shiqi thought that since the situation had already turned confrontational, pretending to be kind would only lead to being bullied!
Sotis acting can protect family and his young age at this ti!
The Hidden Guards around the Old Lady, both male and female, the n were impressed by won bickering, admiring this fiery Lady of General Mansion, as she seed quite bold!
The female Hidden Guard remained expressionless, she was also appointed here and wasn’t skilled at arguing.
The Old Lady was so furious at the insulting words of the young brat in front of her that she forgot previous lessons and threw her cane, intending to hurt these two wretches!
Ye Shiqi, while bickering, had already anticipated these people making a sudden move.
The Old Lady’s throw with the cane was quite forceful, she was known for having practiced martial arts before, she had been bedridden and treated by the Imperial Physician for over a month, seed to have recovered well, for she managed to catch the cane!
"Wow, Old Lady, are you gifting us a stick? Is this a cudgel for beating dogs? It seems tougher than the Old Lady herself! So vigorous! But this gentle action, is it ant to give a cane? But I’m so young, how can I use a cane? My grandmother is also very young, unlike you, Old Lady, so old!"
Ye Shiqi’s eyes were mocking, his gaze sharp, the words he spoke could anger soone to death!
When the Old Lady threw the cane, the Second Lady originally intended to step forward and block, but was surprised by the granddaughter’s skill, catching the cane with a step!
Their actions happened in an instant, even the maids and old won behind them hadn’t reacted yet!
Only those around the Old Lady cheered internally at her anger.
Within just two seconds, a face-slap mont, they forgot how formidable their opponent was!
Even the faces around the Old Lady, the old woman’s face distorted, unable to imagine such a forceful throw caught by soone so young, and supposedly with no Combat Power!
The cane in her hand felt like an ordinary bamboo, though it was actually quite heavy, also a weapon!
Made of a special kind of wood, this cane could hurt if used to hit soone; if this stick hit its target, it could maim if not kill!
She had intended to cripple the granddaughter and grandson but didn’t see it coming.
The opponent is not only sharp-tongued but also skilled with ruthless thods, a young woman mastering tactics better than soone like the Old Lady with decades of house fighting experience!
"You, attack! Cripple them and see how these wretches can still be so arrogant!"
The Old Lady ordered, not caring now about being in soone else’s courtyard, thinking her underlings weren’t as weak as before!
And now there is the Hidden Guard.
The people around the Old Lady, along with those suddenly descending from the rooftop, surrounded the Second Lady and Ye Shiqi’s group of five.
The other side intended to capture them this ti, taking advantage of the Old General’s absence to break relations by maiming them!
The Old Lady played her cards well, but would things go as she wished?
Previously they suffered a great loss at Ye Shiqi’s hands, seeking revenge this ti.
Taking precautions during the fight, they covered faces with cloth in one hand and wielded their weapons with the other, using short swords for close quarters combat!
Since marrying into this General Mansion, the Second Lady hadn’t learned martial arts, therefore repeatedly oppressed by the Old Lady, lacking natal family support, mainly because she was a bought maid!
Yet her indenture wasn’t held by the Old Lady!
Since she was made an equal wife, the indenture was torn up!
Lacking background family, she felt inferior, often bullied—punished to kneel or slapped, never faced swords like now!
Frightened by such enemy-like treatnt, being treated as a bitter enemy.
Cold sweat appeared on the Second Lady, yet she still shielded her granddaughter!
The small living room, surrounded by tables and benches, offered little fighting space, surrounding them, executing close combat!
Ye Shiqi noticed the frail grandmother, knowing she could handle herself, still shielding her against an unskilled elderly opponent!
This protective act, once unfelt family love, now realized to be blood-related protection!
Warm-hearted, a handful of silver needles was secretly retrieved from the space, preparing to strike opponent’s acupoints as they charged in!
"Thud, thud!"
Those hit by the silver needles fell!
Her hands moved quickly, while the maid beside her dodged an incoming strike, then using Grapple Technique, captured and threw them down!
The Old Lady watched their forces collapse, more falling, even the Hidden Guards weren’t spared, piling into a mass!
The old woman’s glare turned vicious, bloodshot eyes, gritted teeth, a twisted look, her face turning livid and uglier!
Second Lady...such power! My granddaughter and her companions are this capable now!
The Second Lady didn’t know martial arts, her companions weren’t highly combative, yet their strong bodies wielded man-like strength!
The maids beside Ye Shiqi had in these months, received her training; with self-defense Grapple Technique yielding so results, though using other weapons, victory might not be certain!
The trained Grapple Technique and so Sandakun, were martial arts well-suited for close combat, easily controlling opponents!
With Ye Shiqi’s powerful technique of silver needles, Hidden Weapon hitting the acupoints.
"So, how about it? Old Lady, do you want to try also?"
A mocking smile, Ye Shiqi wishing nothing more than to kill the old witch!
She restrained her emotions, knowing openly killing soone might implicate family, sparking a desperate retaliation, bringing even more assassins!
They could now employ masked assassins for covert work!
The biggest fear is for distant relatives with ordinary status being manipulated by these powerful people.
The Old Lady’s unconscionable actions, yet she couldn’t risk recklessness, relying on alternative strategies!
Still rely house fighting, as long as they don’t kill them, expecting submission is impossible!
"You scoundrels dare... believe or not your entire family will die?"
Old Lady’s hateful voice, her glare severe!
"Oh dear, Old Lady, don’t get angry, hurt yourself, and no one will care. These dog servants don’t know their place, don’t upset yourself; you, the honorable Dowager of the General Mansion, how can you jeopardize your health? You aren’t one to oppress the weak!"
Ye Shiqi’s words could kill by infuriating!
Old Lady listened, almost fainting from anger.
