In the quiet courtyard, Yun Xi stood quietly, her face as indifferent as water, as if nothing in the world could touch her heartstrings.

She stared at Hong'er in front of her, her voice as cold as frost as she slowly asked, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to serve me?"

This question made Hong'er stunned for a moment. She quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "I... I will pour tea for the young lady right away." After she finished speaking, she was about to move, but was abruptly interrupted by Yun Xi's words "Step back".

Hong'er forced a smile and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Madam, my aunt is clumsy and I'm afraid it won't suit your taste. Let me do it."

Yun Xi's eyes flashed with impatience. She raised her hand and motioned Mei Qing to come forward and take Hong Er away from the scene. Zhang Chunru was furious at this scene. She glared at Yun Xi as if she wanted to eat her alive: "Do you feel any pleasure in humiliating me like this?"

Yun Xi smiled gently, but there was no warmth in that smile: "As Yi Han's concubine, it is only natural for you to serve me. How can you say you are happy or not?" Zhang Chunru's eyes flashed with stubbornness: "Are you forcing me to leave?" Yun Xi nodded without hesitation: "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunru did not back down, but instead became more determined: "I won't leave! It's just pouring tea. What's the difficulty?" As she said that, she strode forward, picked up the teapot, and was about to pour tea for Yun Xi.

Yun Xi took the teacup leisurely and gently spun it in her hands. Through the rising tea mist, she looked at Zhang Chunru coldly: "The daughter of the Zhang Sima family personally poured tea for me. I will enjoy this blessing. How can I bear to let you leave?"

Zhang Chunru was furious when she heard this: "These rough jobs should be done by servants, how can you treat me like this!" Yun Xi sneered and asked back: "You are not the master, but you are unwilling to do even such a small thing? Don't forget, in front of me, you are just a concubine."

Zhang Chunru was so angry at Yun Xi's words that she trembled all over. She shouted angrily, "Xiao Yun Xi!" Before she finished speaking, Yun Xi had already slapped her in the face. Her smile froze instantly, replaced by endless indifference and determination. "Don't think I will show mercy to you just because of my smile. If you don't leave, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death, and then assign you to a servant as his wife."

Yun Xi's words were like an icy blade, piercing Zhang Chunru's heart.

Zhang Chunru covered her cheeks, shock and anger intertwined. She asked in a trembling voice: "You... you dare!" Yun Xi chuckled, revealing eight white teeth. That smile actually made Zhang Chunru feel a chill: "You can try."

Zhang Chunru knew she was no match for Yun Xi, so she glared at Yun Xi, turned around and ran away. Mei Qing looked at her from behind and couldn't help asking, "Who is she going to find?" Yun Xi smiled faintly, "Of course she's going to complain to the old man."

"Why would she go to the old man? Will the old man help her?" Mei Qing was puzzled. "The old man hates trouble in the mansion, and he has an old friendship with Zhang Sima's father, so of course he will intervene, but I have my own excuse." Yun Xi explained confidently.

As Yun Xi expected, the old man sent someone to invite her over soon. Yun Xi tidied her clothes and came to the old man's study.

In the study, Zhang Chunru and Mrs. Mo had been waiting for a long time. Zhang Chunru's eyes were slightly red and the fingerprints on her face were clearly visible. When she saw Yun Xi coming in, she glared at her fiercely.

Yun Xi walked forward and greeted the old man according to etiquette, then waited quietly for the old man to ask questions.

The old man looked at Yun Xi with dignity and asked, "Young Madam, according to what my aunt said, you made many unreasonable demands on her, and she was unwilling to comply, and you even beat her? Is this true?"

Yun Xi answered calmly, "I wonder what unreasonable demands you are referring to? As for the physical attack, it is true." The old man's face suddenly darkened, "It is always wrong to hit someone."

Yun Xi smiled slightly and asked calmly, "Grandfather, have you ever thought about why I asked my aunt to pour tea and bathe me? This is just a basic request from a wife to a concubine.

If she doesn't want to obey, I will teach her slowly, but I have no choice but to do it myself."

Zhang Chunru could no longer suppress her anger after hearing this. She loudly retorted, "These are servants' jobs! Why should I do them?" Yun Xi's face turned cold after hearing this and she shouted, "Shut up! How dare you interrupt me when I'm talking to my grandfather! How dare you be so rude in front of my grandfather!"

The old man's face became even gloomier because of Zhang Chunru's rudeness. He glanced at Zhang Chunru calmly and then showed Yun Xi a kind smile: "Since she is Yi Han's concubine, it is reasonable for you, as the main wife, to let her serve you. You can teach her slowly, and there is no need to hit her."
