Chapter 714: Chapter 714: A Medicinal Death for you, Old Thing!

"Juxiang, listen to Young Master Yun Mo, don’t anger him any further." He could only advise his granddaughter this way.

Ya Juxiang was taken away by Yun Mo amidst her sobbing. Ya Yulan watched as his sister was taken away, sighing heavily in his heart. To think she would go this far even when she knew it would lead to disastrous consequences - how could he have such a sister?

"Yun Xiang..."

"What are you all still standing here for? Go ahead and get back to work!"

Just as Ya Yulan was about to say something to Yun Xiang, her stern voice chimed in. Despite their concern for their daughter, Father Ya and Mother Ya had no choice but to heed Yun Xiang’s words and resume their work.

As for Ya Yulan, all he could do was sigh for a second time before going to work as well.

"Miss Yun Xiang, my son Yulan..."

It was only after hesitating for a while, watching as his son and daughter-in-law left, that Clan Chief Ya finally managed to speak to Yun Xiang and tried to establish a rapport.

It wouldn’t matter much if Yun Mo, being a man, had multiple wives or concubines, and his granddaughter failing to please Yun Mo wasn’t unexpected. But Yun Xiang was different. She was a maiden, and if she married into the Ya Family through Yulan, she would become part of their family.

Even though she was currently heeding Ya Molian’s commands, if she were to bear an heir for their family, she would surely obey Yulan’s orders.

If he could establish a good relationship with Yun Xiang, perhaps he could use her to deal with Ya Molian in the future?

"Old man, what do you want to say?" Yun Xiang sneered, facing Clan Chief Ya.

"This... Yun Xiang, I just wanted to ask if... if my son Yulan has been treating you well. If he dares to mistreat you, let me know, I will teach that rascal a lesson."

Clan Chief Ya, with a sycophantic smile plastered on his face, asked timidly.

"Hmph!"

Yun Xiang sneered again.

"Old man, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? I warn you, if I see you associating with Ya Ji, I will get some poison from the town and make you suffer!"

Having said this, she turned around and walked away.

"You--"

Clan Chief Ya, with his teeth gritted due to Yun Xiang’s words, wondered what to do about this sister-brother pair. He decided to take things slowly and bide his time.

After all, there were only two of them, wouldn’t there be times they couldn’t keep an eye on everyone in the family? He could see Ya Ji whenever he wanted.

But he was mistaken.

Soon after, Clan Chief Ya saw Yun Xiang leave his room, surprisingly carrying a bronze bell. She fetched a hammer and a nail and attached the bell to the outside of the courtyard gate before closing it again.

’Ding-a-ling.’

The sound of the bell rang out as the courtyard gate closed, piercing Clan Chief Ya’s ears. He swallowed a gulp of saliva and gritted his teeth heavily, feeling a rising rage stuck in his chest.

Installing the bell on the outside like this meant that any opening of this gate would alert Yun Xiang and Yun Mo.

He watched as Yun Xiang glared at him before returning to her room, leaving Clan Chief Ya pissed. Coupled with the constant whining of Ya Juxiang coming from her room, he had no choice but to fume in silence and went to look for his grandson.

...

In the kitchen, Ya Yulan was picking vegetables. When he noticed his grandfather come in, he just glanced at him and continued with his work.
