No, this absolutely cannot happen!!!

Liu Shi, Yun Da, Yun Dazhuang, and the eldest son's family all thought the same thing. They couldn't let that brat Yun Ling live a good life, and they couldn't let anyone from the third branch of the Yun family have an easy time!

"If you ask me, we should tell that young master Lu directly, let him know what kind of person that brat is, let him see her true colors, and he will never want to associate with such a vicious person again."

The eldest daughter naturally agreed with what her husband said and chimed in:

"I also think we should remind Young Master Lu that when choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. Besides, the Lu family is a large business family. If they marry someone with such a vicious heart, who knows what kind of disaster they will cause to the Lu family's business."

"And maybe because of our kind reminder, Young Master Lu will be grateful to us and give us ten or eight strings of cash, which would be enough for us to live a good life for a while."

The eldest son's last words were key. They were desperately short of money, and on top of that, they wished Yunling were dead. So, they were more than happy to do something that could both make them money and bring misfortune to Yunling.

When Liu recalled the slaps Yunling had given her that day, she longed to vent her anger, but she was also afraid of Yunling's power, so she said:

"I think it's not enough for just our family to handle this. If that brat causes trouble for our family, we won't be able to beat her."

Yun Da nodded in agreement:

“Yes, since it’s the person that Ci’er has chosen, then the second branch of the family won’t be able to escape either. No matter how powerful that brat is, she won’t be able to beat up both of our families.”

“Father is right. It’s just that Second Uncle is a coward. Like last time, when we were all knocked down, he didn’t want to avenge us. Instead, he thought about running away. He’s not human at all.”

Liu disagreed with what Yun Da said, and she said:

“The situation is different now. I think that girl Ci’er is really fond of that young master Lu. She’s not young anymore. If she doesn’t get married soon, won’t she become an unwanted old woman?”

"Even if she were willing, the second son and his wife wouldn't be. Who would want to support someone for nothing? Besides, if a woman doesn't marry when she's grown up, wouldn't that just make her a laughingstock? The second son's wife is very concerned about her reputation; would she let others laugh at her?"

Yun Da and his wife exchanged a glance, then Yun Da asked:

"So, according to Mother's opinion..."

Liu slapped the board and said towards the direction of the second son's house:

"Let's go add some fuel to the fire."

Without much thought, the four walked straight towards Yun Er's house. But upon entering, they saw neither Meng Shi nor Yun Ci. Only Yun Er was wandering around in the courtyard. When he saw Yun Da and the others come in, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Liu heard a faint sobbing sound coming from inside the house, and could guess what was going on. She simply said:

"Second brother, where is Ci'er?"

"She's crying inside."

Hearing Yun Er's tone, Liu felt a strong sense of resentment towards them for encouraging Yun Ci to pursue Lu Yinghuai yesterday. However, for the sake of money and to kill that wretched girl Yun Ling, she could only grit her teeth and shout loudly:

"Oh dear, Sister Ci, why are you crying? This matter isn't settled yet, why are you crying so soon?"

As soon as Yunci heard Liu's voice, she ran out of the house, followed closely by Meng.

Meng's expression was not good. She had always disliked Yun Da and Liu Shi. Back in Pingcheng, if they hadn't repeatedly begged for money like beggars to avoid them, her family wouldn't have had to flee to Yuecheng.

Arriving in Yuecheng was one thing, but these people, like restless ghosts, have come to Yuecheng and are trying every means to get their husbands to help them get land. Fine, but now they're using some evil intentions to bewitch Yunci.

Meng was furious just thinking about it, and she spoke without any politeness, saying only:

“Ci’er, hurry back to your room. Don’t get involved in this mess, or your parents won’t be able to pull you out.”

Liu choked for a moment. After all, she had come to seek cooperation, so even if it was a forced smile, she still said with a smile on her face:

“Second brother’s wife, we are all family. No matter what we do, we would never harm Ci’er. Besides, Ci’er should talk about others, otherwise the rumors outside will be more than just unpleasant.”

Meng took a deep breath, not even glancing at Liu.

"People can say whatever they want, just like I can't control how you deceive our Ci'er, can I?"

“Mother, I think we’ve been treated like dirt. If they’re willing to suffer, let them suffer. As for that young master Lu, if they’re willing to watch him get cheated, let them watch. Let’s not interfere, let’s not interfere at all. Let’s go.”

The eldest daughter made a move to pull Liu Shi out, but Yun Ci quickly stopped her and asked worriedly:

"Auntie, Mr. Lu...who deceived him?"

"He...he...uh, let's not talk about it. Just treat it as a dream. Once you wake up, you won't remember anything. Okay, haha."

Liu also made a move to leave, but Yun Ci quickly ran forward and stopped the two of them, saying:

“Auntie, if we can’t talk about this here, I’ll go home with you to talk about it.”

Speechless with anger at these words, Meng immediately crossed her arms and looked away.

Seeing that she had gained power, Liu was extremely proud, practically rolling her eyes to the sky. She asked:

"Do you know that little bitch beat us all up last time?"

"Father said that, and then what?"

Liu had no idea that this girl was either naive or truly stupid. The words had been so well-intentioned, yet she still didn't know how to take advantage of them. If she were to face Yun Ling, who was cunning and shrewd, on her own, she would be no match for her.

“No matter what, we are all blood relatives, yet she showed no regard for family ties and beat us, and even went so far as to kill us. Tell me, how can someone like that be a suitable daughter-in-law for the Lu family? Isn’t she just ruining the Lu family?”

"So, we need to tell Young Master Lu about this so he can see her true colors. That way, you'll have a chance, understand?"

Yun Ci nodded, but quickly frowned again.

"That's true, but how are we going to tell the young master? Will he believe us?"

"Oh my goodness, didn't the second brother have business experience? We can invite him over under the pretext of asking him for advice on business. Then we can say whatever we want."
