When Yi Qingshan said that there was no need to compensate, Xue Fanxin smiled as brightly as possible. “Master Yi is really a straightforward and generous person!”
“Haha.” Yi Qingshan did not know how to respond and could only laugh dryly.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely make them cough up as much money as possible, but as for Xue Fanxin… forget it. He had finally built a good relationship with the Ninth Lord’s Estate and did not want to ruin it for money.
The people around them were speechless because of Xue Fanxin’s shamelessness, but all of them looked like they were used to it. Clearly, they knew her personality, so they did not find it strange.
Yi Fenyun smiled helplessly in his heart, then changed the topic and asked, “I wonder if it’s convenient for the Ninth Imperial Consort to tell me what happened here just now?”
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. It has something to do with you. Yi Fentian disguised himself and returned to the Yi family. Looking at his ruthless appearance, nothing good would have happened. He was most likely back to kill people. We discovered his whereabouts and came to get rid of him, but he was saved by an expert. Ah Jiu fought with that man, destroying your courtyard as a result. To be precise, we’re not the perpetrators. Yi Fentian is mostly responsible. Also, if it weren’t for us, I wonder how many people from your Yi family would have died?”
A guard hurriedly rushed over to report. “Master, we found a few corpses in the utility room. There were two maidservants’ corpses in the lotus pond in the backyard. These people died miserably. The murderer used extremely cruel methods.”
Hearing the guard’s report and coupled with what Xue Fanxin had just said, Yi Qingshan’s heart trembled.
Yi Fentian had returned to take revenge and remained undiscovered even after killing so many people. If Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin had not happened to come looking for him, the outcome would have been terrifying.
“This unfilial son is really ruthless.”
“Master Yi, there are some things I don’t know if I should say.”
“Ninth Imperial Consort, feel free to speak.”
“Yi Fentian is a demon now. He might return in the future to seek revenge, so be prepared.”
“A demon?” Yi Qingshan’s expression got uglier and uglier. Thinking of the hidden danger, Yi Fentian, he felt uneasy.
“I’ve said all I needed to say. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first!” Xue Fanxin smiled guiltily. Receiving Yi Qingshan’s nod of agreement, she left with Ye Jiushang. She was still worried that Yi Qingshan would mention compensation to her.
She had taken a closer look just now. Everything in this courtyard was valuable. If she really were to compensate, she would definitely have to pay a lot of money.
Ye Jiushang knew why Xue Fanxin was in a hurry to leave. Outside, he said to her, “Don’t worry. Even if Yi Qingshan’s heart aches to death, he won’t dare to let you compensate.”
“That’s hard to say. Anyway, leaving is the best option.”
She did not have much money and still had to pay for those spirit herbs. She did not know if it was enough.
Anyway, no one would give her money, including her grandfather.
Xue Batian, in the Lord’s Estate, suddenly sneezed. “Who’s scolding me?”
Little Lei rolled his eyes. He continued eating his drumstick while glaring at Zhu Hai, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, from time to time.
When would that idiot woman turn this guy into a puppet?
