Qin Chun was a confidante of Old Lady Qin. During Yixuan’s time away from home, he happened to meet Old Lady Qin, who, having no children of her own, adopted him as her foster son and even changed his name.

Here in Dongdi, few might know Liang Yixuan, but mention the Young Master of the Qin family, Qin Xuan, and it’s a name that everyone knows.

Yixuan already had a bad feeling in his heart, and seeing Qin Chun in such a flustered state made his heart sink.

"Is Grandma Qin okay? What happened?"

The expression on Qin Chun’s face was a bit strange. He looked worried but also seemed angry.

"The old lady has fallen into a coma, she was infuriated!"

Qin Chun spoke through gritted teeth, then sincerely looked at Dong Huiying.

"Young lady, could I trouble you to accompany me?"

Qin Chun had come specifically for Dong Huiying, seeking her assistance.

Even though she knew that Old Lady Qin fainted after reading the letter, she was still concerned due to the lady’s old age.

"Alright!"

Dong Huiying readily agreed without hesitation, quickly lifting her skirt to follow Qin Chun.

...

The old lady liked green, a light jade color. Ever since she saw Yixuan in an outfit of that shade, she fell in love with the color, calling it refreshing. Because of this, she even changed all the curtains in her room to varying shades of green.

Upon entering, Dong Huiying first observed Old Lady Qin’s complexion, quickly getting a sense of the situation. After feeling her pulse, she turned to look at Qin Chun and Yixuan, saying, "Grandma’s problem isn’t serious, it’s just a moment’s anger, but..."

This time, her gaze focused on Yixuan, as she believed he would understand her meaning.

After all, at such an age, frequent fits of anger could shorten one’s life. By Old Lady Qin’s age, she should be enjoying a peaceful and comfortable life.

Yixuan asked Qin Chun, "Aunt Chun, could you let me see the letter that grandma was just reading?"

Qin Chun, though a servant of the Qin family, had been by the old lady’s side for decades, earning Yixuan’s respect. To Yixuan, Qin Chun was akin to an aunt.

Qin Chu angrily remarked, "Yes! Xiao Xuan, you should see it. Those troublesome old hags don’t let the old lady have peace, exploiting her childlessness as an excuse to cause trouble all day. They probably wish to anger the old lady to death, so they can seize the Qin family’s assets!"

The Qin family was dominant in Dongdi. Even back when Xiao San, Shujun, had ’modest assets,’ she was envious and would lament how hard she’d worked to build up the Huizi Store. Yet it still fell short compared to the Qin family’s long-established business.

However, as of now, the Huizi Store has gradually caught up with the Qin family.

Yixuan frowned, "Thank you, Aunt."

Qin Chun went to fetch the letter, and Yixuan maintained his composed and elegant demeanor, although there was a chilling aura emanating from him.

Nearby, Dong Huiying and the brothers from the Liang family exchanged glances, clicking their tongues in surprise.

It was clear to them that whoever had dared to provoke Yixuan was in for a terrible fate.

...

Qin Chun brought over the letter, and Yixuan skimmed through it quickly, his face growing colder by the second.

Everything was deathly silent, even the wind outside seemed to hold its breath.

Yixuan’s brow twitched slightly, and suddenly he offered a gentle smile. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Is that so?"

Qin Chun hesitated to speak and glanced at Yixuan.

"Aunt Chun, you need not hold back, feel free to speak openly with me."
