Chapter 396: Take Her Away, No Rush XOXO
The handmaids and stableman who saw her sullen face were all scared, hence they lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. It was because they were all servants who had been by Madam Su’s side for a long time and based on Madam Su’s previous habits, a bad mood meant that one of them would bear the brunt of her anger.
Yet, Madam Su did not do as they had imagined and merely entered the carriage directly.
“Back to the residence.” Within the carriage, Madam Su’s face was exceptionally cold and her words came chillingly through her gritted teeth.
Immediately, the servant lifted up the carriage.
Helian Jiao Er clenched both fists in unwillingness. “Mother, are we just leaving like this? We didn’t even see the hidden army!”
“Jiao Er, didn’t you hear what the guard said? To see the hidden army, the mere identity as an heir of the Helian family isn’t enough, there needs to be a show of that Military Seal.” Inside the carriage, Madam Su slowly cooled the fire boiling inside of her as she replayed what the Master of the Hei family had told the guard to inform her and talked to her beloved daughter slowly.
Helian Jiao Er was a clever one and with a simple nudge in the right direction, her eyes brightened in understanding. “So this means that even if that b*tch Helian Wei Wei came by, she wouldn’t be able to see the hidden army without the Military Seal, am I right?”
“Exactly. To actually take control and delegate the hidden army, one needs to have the Military Seal. Hence, even if that little bit*h has Helian blood flowing through her veins, it’s useless. Moreover, with what she’s done over the past few years, the hidden army will probably be disappointed in her. Otherwise, they would have tried to make contact with her earlier on with her identity as the sole heir of the Helian family. Yet, the truth is that even Old Master Hei dislikes that little b*tch, haha, even if she can find the hidden army, they wouldn’t necessarily take orders from that little bit*h anyway.” With that thought in mind, Madam Su’s face no longer showed the anger that had previously been there. Instead, she was smiling happily like never before.
Helian Jiao Er smiled as well as she leaned against Su Yan Mo’s shoulder and said happily, “So that little bit*h, Helian Wei Wei’s last backup route is cut off. After the Third Prince has chosen his secondary consort, she’ll still have a place for her within the Palace if she’s lucky, but if she’s not, that ugly girl will just be thrown away. Then, father can just take away all the Helian family inheritance rights from her! That b*tch will definitely end up crying in a corner! Even with the Wei Ze World, she’s still no match for me!”
“That’s for sure, our Jiao Er is the most beautiful and understanding lady among others.” Su Yan Mo raised her hand to gently caress Jiao Er’s long hair, imagining the future where they would finally be able to raise their heads in full satisfaction.
At that point in time, at the end of the Clan Meeting, Helian Wei Wei would be kicked out of the picture.
She would make that little b*tch rot six feet under, just like that mother of hers!
However, never in Su Yan Mo’s wildest dreams would she have thought that Helian Wei Wei had already obtained recognition from the hidden army and had already started her experimentation with her first batch of arms.
Thus, on the same day, as soon as Su Yan Mo had left, Helian Wei Wei received news of her looking for the hidden army.
After disguising herself, Helian Wei Wei put on a cloak and arrived at the Hei Manor.
Old Master Hei seemed somewhat angry, “They were the ones who stole someone’s family away in the first place and now they have the nerve to sound as if the hidden army was always theirs. What rubbish!”
Helian Wei Wei laughed.
Old Master Hei lowered his voice, “Wei Wei, was this how you got by in these past years?”
“The mother and daughter are the worst.” With regards to Su Yan Mo, Helian Wei Wei did not want to talk much, “Don’t tell them about me getting to the hidden army first. I want to see what they really want to do and now that the situation in court is unstable, it’s safer if the hidden army keeps a low profile. They can debut into the world once we finish our production of the arms and gunpowder.”
“Now that you mention it, those guns and gunpowder are absolutely amazing!” Old Master Hei pointed outside to Da Xiong who was practicing his martial arts. “Especially that assault cannon that Da Xion carried, it could even demolish stone into powder.”
Helian Wei Wei was not surprised at the force of the assault cannon. After all, she was clearer than anyone else of the effect it had. She was just surprised at how quick it had been made. “It’s all done?”
“It lacks one or two things, but the majority of it is complete. The reason I sent word to you this time was also to let you come over to see our results.” As Old Master Hei spoke to Helian Wei Wei, he led her into the inner courtyard.
The area was extremely secluded and was even covered by a layer of freshly-cut tree branches.
“Open it!”
Ten large wooden boxes with high-quality guns inside them were lined out, exposing their gleaming cold black color.
Helian Wei Wei smiled as she bent down to pick up one of them and held the gun to her chest with familiar moves that were both quick and laced with a special stylishness.
“Not bad.” Other than the fact that the heavier guns were not as refined as the modern era ones and that they would be too heavy to carry by the shoulder, there were not many problems with them.
Chi Yan who was clad in military uniform stood nearby with slightly raised eyes and long legs that always gave off the feeling that they were able to destroy everything in its path.
Helian Wei Wei put down the gun in her hands and smiled at him.
However, as Chi Yan had walked in, his gaze dropped to the necklace on her neck and frowned, “What is this weird thing?”
Helian Wei Wei paused awkwardly since she could not possibly say the Third Prince was into role-playing, so she could only vaguely reply to him, “Just an accessory.”
“Using a dog’s collar as an accessory?” Chi Yan leaned forward, accentuating the ashy smell that always revolved around him.
Helian Wei Wei took a step back, avoiding him from touching her skin.
Chi Yan looked at her as his eyes turned cold, “The Third Prince gave this to you?”
“How did you know?” Helian Wei Wei was curious.
Chi Yan sneered, “It’s befitting of his personality to try and use this kind of method to announce his possession and claim over his belongings.”
“You guys know each other?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow, she did not think that they would have known each other.
Chi Yan’s voice was plain, “We’ve met once or twice in the Palace.” That person had not been easy to get close to when they were younger and now that he was older, this was even more so where he could not bear anyone touching his things.
“You were able to deduce the Third Prince’s personality with just one or two meetings, eh? General Chi is indeed clever.” Once again, Helian Wei bent down to pick up another gun.
Belongings?
So, she was not his prey.
Rather, she was his belonging?
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes drifted.
However, Chi Yan threw another baffling line at her, “It isn’t because I’m clever, it’s because I’m a man as well.” Moreover, all men are possessive.
This point, however, was one that Chi Yan did not intend to tell Helian Wei Wei.
This was because he was unaccustomed to the current Helian Wei Wei and moreover, he felt like keeping her to himself.
Yet, he was indifferent to the idea of wrecking someone else’s relationship.
Just wait then.
The Selection of secondary consort would begin soon.
At that time, if she wanted to leave, then he would take her away…
