Chapter 571: Chapter 572: Treating Xia Yangyang like a thief and driving her out of the Xi Family
Xia Yangyang was still somewhat stunned, not knowing what had happened.
However, it was Liu Ruyan who first spoke up: “Butler Han, what exactly has happened?”
With a stern face, Han Cheng replied: “Just now, Miss Xia trespassed into the forbidden area of the side building. According to the rules set by our Third Young Master, those who trespass must be driven out of the Xi Family. Second Madam, I’m really sorry about this. But it’s because our young lady didn’t follow the rules, and as servants, we have no choice.”
Liu Ruyan turned to Xia Yangyang: “Yangyang, why did you go there?”
Before Xia Yangyang could speak, the young maid beside her opened her mouth in grievance: “My original intention was to take Miss Xia to select wooden beds from several guest rooms in the side building. Who knew she would suddenly run off on her own? After searching for a long time, I finally found her sneaking into the secret chamber of the Third Young Master.”
Xia Yangyang felt that she was unable to defend herself.
Apparently, this young maid had suddenly disappeared, and now it was her who had trespassed into the forbidden area.
Xia Weiwei added fuel to the fire from the sidelines: “Xia Yangyang, the Third Young Master of our family is a renowned doctor. Those documents and resources in there are priceless treasures, coveted by many. Could your objective for coming to the Xi Family be related to them?”
Liu Ruyan reproached Xia Weiwei: “Don’t spout drivel!”
Liu Ruyan rose to her feet, walked up to Han Cheng and Xia Yangyang, and said, “Yangyang is a stranger here and must have accidentally trespassed. Butler Han, could you perhaps turn a blind eye this time?”
But Han Cheng maintained a serious expression: “Second Madam, I’m really sorry. It’s not that I don’t respect you, but this is a rule that the Xi Family has upheld for many years. After all, the Third Young Master previously lost important documents and threw a tantrum. As you know, he holds a special place in the master’s heart. Therefore, I must ask the Second Madam for understanding. However, if Miss Xia is displaced after leaving, I am willing to find a satisfactory lodging for her.”
Even if Xia Yangyang were foolish, she could tell that this was a scheme orchestrated by Xia Weiwei and her cohorts.
From the day this butler, Han Cheng, arranged for her to stay in the attic room.
Xia Yangyang realized that he must have been their insider.
Their aim was to evict her.
She was even driven to the wall and forced to play out this farce of trespassing into forbidden territory.
Liu Ruyan wore a helpless expression: “Yangyang, I told you when you arrived that the Xi Family isn’t like the Xia Family. It’s a large household with plenty of rules. Aunt Liu doesn’t have the ability to offer you shelter anymore. Otherwise, how about I find you a suitable hotel?”
However, Xia Yangyang merely smiled: “If Aunt Liu wants me to leave, why go to such lengths? Just say it outright. I, Xia Yangyang, am not the type to overstay my welcome.”
“You child, why do you talk this way? As you see, Aunt Liu is helpless. We are dependent on others here and have no authority.”
Xia Weiwei could no longer bear it: “Xia Yangyang, enough with your nonsense. Take your luggage and scram! This is the Xi Family, not your home. It’s been four years, and your audacity has increased.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t find the remittance receipt in Liu Ruyan’s safe.
But her initial objective for this trip had been achieved.
And naturally, she didn’t wish to stay any longer.
If not for her current illness, she might have left in the afternoon.
However, being driven out like a thief under the glaring eyes of the crowd was indeed a bitter pill to swallow.
Xia Yangyang declared: “Fine, I’ll leave right now.”
“The one who should leave isn’t you.” A cold and stern male voice suddenly echoed from the entrance.
