NOVEL WEB Chapter 3: The third younger brother's words do not reflect his true feelings.
Yue Fanling had never seen Han Yan cry so sadly before. She assumed it was because Han Yan had been gravely wronged this time, so she felt even more distressed. Holding Han Yan tightly, she gently patted her back, comforting her, "Han Yan, don't cry, don't cry, Mother knows you've been wronged. Mother won't let you suffer this injustice in vain." As she spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in the depths of Yue Fanling's eyes. She would never easily forgive the person who had made Han Yan so heartbroken.
"Mother, Mother…" Han Yan clung tightly to Yue Fanling, unwilling to let go. Her mother was still there, good and well before her. Han Yan's vision became a blur of tears, which streamed down uncontrollably.
"Han Yan, stop crying. Mother will definitely avenge you! Even though our family has been exiled to this small town, we will not be bullied by the likes of the Zhao Family!" Seeing Han Yan cry like this made Yue Fanling's heart fill with even greater hatred towards Fourth Miss Zhao, and her anger extended to the entire Zhao Family.
Han Yan knew her mother had misunderstood the reason for her tears, but she couldn't explain why. At this moment, all she wanted was to have a good cry. Her mother's warm embrace was always the most cherished and stabilizing haven she longed for.
At this time, Mu Hanfeng stood in the corridor, his face as dark as water, his gaze icily observing the scene in the yard. The head maid responsible for attending to him had never seen their Young Master so angry before. Without doubt, it was because of the playboy big brother inside, still crying.
"Such a good-for-nothing deserves to be bullied. Why should the Young Master get angry over such a person?" The maid, seeing her master so upset, boldly attempted to offer comfort. After all, Mu Rui, the second son, had always looked down on the big brother, frequently mocking him. Besides, the big brother was indeed a waste, always bringing shame to the City Lord's Mansion. They, the servants, secretly despised him. Compared to their own Young Master, he was truly worlds apart.
The maid thought her words would please Mu Hanfeng, but to her surprise, he turned with an icy look and said in a low voice, "You are no longer needed to serve in my quarters. Return to where you came from. Even if he is as worthless as you say, it's not for outsiders to bully him, only I can do that!"
Having said this, Mu Hanfeng turned and left, not sparing a glance for the maid collapsed on the ground. Being responsible for Mu Hanfeng's daily life, the maid held some authority and had a respectable position, akin to that of a young lady. Not to mention her decent monthly salary, but now she had lost everything. She fell from the clouds into the abyss. The maid looked at Mu Hanfeng's receding back with disbelief and horror. She couldn't believe Mu Rui An would treat her this way over the big brother. Wasn't he the one who disdained the big brother the most? Why would he be so unmerciful towards her, just because the big brother, who should be bullied by Mu Rui An, was bullied by outsiders? The maid now deeply regretted her words, but what use was regret?
It was well known that Mu Hanfeng and Han Yan were twins, and they both possessed the fine features of their parents. Their father, Mu Rui'an, had been a handsomely charming man in his youth and was still a dashing middle-aged man. Their mother was an exceptional beauty, pursued by many in her time, eventually won over by their father, leaving many young talents beating their chests with regret. It was evident just how attractive the appearances of the twins were.
