"Young Master Yun, how could you do this? What wrong has your sister done? Why are you making her become a nun?"

"That's right, Young Master Yun, your sister is a pitiful person too. She's already suffered enough marrying such a man, how could you possibly make her become a nun?"

"If you ask me, your family also has problems. You found her such a husband's family, which caused her to divorce after only a little over a month of marriage. If anyone is responsible, it's your family."

As Yun Feng listened to everyone pleading for Yun Zhi and blaming the Yun family, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Just as they were about to retaliate, they heard the sound of the door opening behind them.

Yun Feng turned his head and looked over. The onlookers did the same, all looking towards the gate.

At this moment, Xu Shi was seen being helped out of the main gate. Beside her were not only her trusted maids and nannies, but also Granny Ma, whom Yunzhi had sent to deliver a message.

Granny Ma saw the procession of carriages outside and looked around for Yunzhi. Soon, she found Yunzhi and, taking advantage of Xu Shi and her people's inattention, ran over quickly.

Yunzhi looked at Granny Ma and, seeing that she seemed to have something to say, immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss, this old servant is incompetent and has failed to complete the task you entrusted to me." Granny Ma looked guilty. She had wanted to come out earlier, but with Xu's people watching, she didn't dare to.

The reason they came out now is because the people who followed Yun Feng and Lin Meijiao overheard Yun Feng arranging an excuse for Xu Shi to fall ill from anger.

Logically, since Madam Xu had fallen ill from anger, she should have stayed in bed to recuperate. However, she was preoccupied with Yunzhi's dowry and wanted to transfer it to her second daughter.

That's why I came out despite being sick.

Of course, Granny Ma didn't know this and thought that Madam Xu had finally had a change of heart and changed her mind.

"It's alright, I know this has nothing to do with you." Yunzhi comforted Granny Ma before asking, "What's going on now? Why is my mother out?"

"I'm not quite sure either. Just now, Madam suddenly wanted to come out, I don't know what she was thinking about."

"Then you may leave." Yunzhi saw that Granny Ma truly didn't know, so she didn't make things difficult for her. However, her intuition told her that Xu Shi's appearance was definitely not a good thing.

Sure enough, just as the onlookers and Granny Ma thought that Madam Xu had changed her mind and was preparing to welcome Yunzhi back to the mansion, Madam Xu spoke up.

She first looked up at Yunzhi, whose pale, bloodless face seemed to accuse Yunzhi of truly making her sick.

Even though she was ill, Xu came out to help with her daughter's affairs.

Then, she coughed a few more times, feigning weakness, before saying to Yunzhi, "You wretched girl, look what you've done! You've not only made me sick, but you've also harmed the other girls in the family. Now that you're going to become a nun, this dowry is useless to you, so take it back home. You can give it to the girls you've implicated as compensation for your wrongdoing."

He clearly wanted to steal Yunzhi's dowry, yet he put on an air of righteous indignation. Not to mention Yunzhi, even the onlookers were shocked.

They'd seen shamelessness before, but never anything like this. They thought Yun Feng was already outrageous enough, but Xu Shi, the mother, was even worse.

Not only were they not allowed to enter the mansion, but they were also forced to become nuns, and even their dowry was to be taken back. This was truly pushing them to the brink of despair.
