Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 241: Origins

Old Madam Xiao stepped forward and directly stamped her foot on Xiao Qingya’s head. "What, you thought I was dead, so you wanted to take over everything of mine and harm my grandson? You’ve got some nerve."

Xiao Qingya simply shivered all over just looking at Xiao Jiuying.

Because when he was young, he had seen the awe-inspiring presence of this great-aunt, who would challenge anyone who dared to oppose her.

No one could do anything about her.

Even though she lived quietly in a remote part of the Mortal Beast Continent, as long as she wasn’t dead, those in the main house feared her and dared not trouble her.

They didn’t even dare meddle in Xiao Family’s affairs. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But people from the main house had made early arrangements, and still, their efforts fell short.

No one would have thought Xiao Jiuying could come back to life after dying; it was simply uncanny.

Seeing he couldn’t escape, Xiao Qingya said, "Xiao Jiuying, if you kill me, the main family over there won’t let you off."

Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "Then let them come and try."

"A mere servant dares to threaten me, don’t you know I despise threats the most?"

As she spoke, Old Madam Xiao pressed hard in several places, and with sounds of "boom boom," all of Xiao Qingya’s meridians shattered, and his Qi vanished like a punctured balloon.

Without superpower Qi, Xiao Qingya was instantly rendered a cripple.

"Ah..."

Xiao Qingya had never expected this great-aunt could disable his superpower in a single move.

He showed an expression of fear.

His body couldn’t stop trembling.

Xiao Jihan was stunned to see his grandmother wake up, particularly witnessing her in this manner, completely forgetting to react.

In his memory, his grandmother was weak in health and spoke rather gently; she had never been like this.

Seeing his grandmother awaken, Xiao Jihan was so excited he wanted to call her, but witnessing her decisive manner left him dazed, unsure whether to speak or not.

At this moment, the Lv family was nearly scared to death seeing Old Madam Xiao awake.

Over the years, dealing with Old Madam Xiao as a daughter-in-law, she understood clearly that while Old Madam Xiao seemed approachable, her fierce presence and the oppressive aura she had when serious were enough to make her shiver with fear from just a glance.

So every time she faced Old Madam Xiao, she had to be extra cautious.

"Alive, truly alive."

Lv Family’s eyes were wide open, especially while seeing Old Madam Xiao disable the Qingya Steward, she was so scared she fainted.

The people of Xiao Family dared not move recklessly anymore.

Especially those servants who secretly sided with the clan elders had pale faces.

Many trembled in fear, not expecting Old Madam Xiao to still be alive.

When Old Madam Xiao turned to look at Xiao Jihan and the others, she showed a loving expression, "Good children, you’ve worked hard, sit and rest for a while, I’ll handle the family’s affairs."

Xiao Jihan finally spoke up, "Grandmother."

Old Madam Xiao sighed and walked to him, saying, "Is it hard for you to adapt to seeing grandmother like this?"

Xiao Jihan shook his head with a slight choke, "No, as long as you’re alive, grandmother, anything is good."

"I like your spirited appearance now, it looks healthy."

Old Madam Xiao looked at Su Muyao with a loving gaze, "Grandmother must thank you properly."

"Grandmother, Xiao Jihan is my Beast Husband, his grandmother is my grandmother too, it’s something I should do."

Old Madam Xiao invited them to sit, then summoned her subordinates using the Family Head Token, dealing with the traitors herself by subduing them and tying them up.

She even ordered cold water to be poured on Lv Family, waking her up from the cold shock.

Seeing Old Madam Xiao in front of her, she almost fainted again.

Old Madam Xiao had more cold water poured on her.

As for Xiao Tongtong, she also had her tied up.

"Grandmother, I’m your granddaughter, you can’t be so biased, you can’t only see Xiao Jihan and not me."

Even Second Young Master Xiao said weakly, "Mother, you’re awake, that’s great, please have them release me, I’m their master, how can they treat me like this?"

Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "I knew very well what you did to me when I was unconscious."

"You’re all from the main house’s side."

"Second Young Master Xiao died early because of you, and I didn’t even know."

Thinking she was dead, everything they said before her altar was heard clearly by her.

"So I have only one grandson, Xiao Jihan."

"For years, I tolerated you, but you dared to conspire with outsiders against me, plotting against the entire Xiao Family and Jihan; such a cruel heart."

Speaking thus, Old Madam Xiao slapped the table hard, having three people’s abilities disabled and imprisoned.

As for other disloyal clan elders, she dealt with them swiftly, executing those who deserved it and expelling others from the family.

Old Madam Xiao handled these matters quickly and decisively.

Su Muyao was visibly stunned by her decisiveness but liked her style of doing things.

Firm and decisive, with no hesitation.

Soon, Old Madam Xiao regained full control of the Xiao family.

After these events, she also clearly knew who was loyal and who betrayed her and the Xiao Family, so cleaning up wasn’t hard work.

Once everything was settled, Old Madam Xiao handed the remaining tasks to her subordinates.

Then she led Wen Nanxi and the others to the hidden study in the backyard and set up a Barrier.

She looked at Xiao Jihan and Su Muyao and said, "You can ask whatever you want."

Xiao Jihan, filled with doubts, spoke with a solemn expression, "Grandmother, you said Xiao Qingya and Second Uncle are from the main family, what exactly is going on?"

Old Madam Xiao said, "Our Xiao Family is indeed a branch of the main Xiao family. In my youth, I was sent to the main family by my parents among select others because of my talent and was chosen as a core disciple."

"But later, something happened, and I broke away from the main family, taking your father back to Xiao Family."

"The price was heavy, enduring serious internal injuries, my realm fell, leaving me with Level 9 power."

"The main family never forgot and always wanted full control over this branch for certain purposes."

Returning back then already cost her a great deal.

But she had no regrets.

Xiao Jihan was hearing about the main family for the first time.

"So the old wounds you sustained in youth causing excruciating pain on rainy days were from that time?"

Old Madam Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Remembering those times, her eyes turned sharp and serious.

But her gaze softened upon looking at Su Muyao, "Child, thank you for healing those old wounds. They tormented me, reminding me of those past events for decades."

With the old wounds fully healed now, her abilities would gradually return to their peak.

By then, she feared no one from the main family.

If it weren’t for the healing, she wouldn’t have been able to defeat Xiao Qingya so thoroughly.

Su Muyao shook her head, "Grandmother, there’s no need to thank me."

"But where exactly is this main family you speak of?"

Su Muyao held guesses but was uncertain.

Old Madam Xiao said, "The main Xiao family is located within the Unknown Zone."

Mentioning the Unknown Zone, Old Madam Xiao’s face turned grim.
