Chapter 255 Yun Ting was wronged

Yun Ting got up and burst into tears.

Erya was so scared, "Did I say something wrong? I can apologize, don't cry!"

Who can stand seeing a grown man crying like this on New Year's Day?

Lu Qiniang also heard the voice and asked Erya, "Did you provoke him?"

Look how childish he is.

Erya felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, but she was also doubting herself at this moment.

Did she say something wrong?

Otherwise, how could Yun Ting cry like this?

Seeing this, the Fifth Young Master and Jiang Quan felt embarrassed to stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

After Xiao Yan sent them out, he also came in.

Daya and Sanya also came.

Seeing the concern in his family's eyes, Yun Ting cried again.

Erya's head hurt from his crying.

Why didn’t I realize before that Yun Ting could cry so much?

However, when Yun Ting raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, the sleeve slipped down, revealing a whip mark on his arm.

Erya immediately exploded, "Who hit you? Your dad? It's New Year's Day, don't you hit your children? Doesn't he know? How rude!"

Lu Qiniang twisted her and stopped her from speaking.

Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder, what could have happened? Why couldn't they hold back during the New Year?

Did Yun Ting set fire to the Duke's Mansion?

Yun Ting cried for a long time, and finally stopped, sobbing and telling the whole story.

It turned out that the second son of the Duke's Mansion's eldest wife was Yun Rui, who was transferred to Beijing last year. There was a maid named Shiyu in his wife's room.

Shiyu is very dexterous and good at knitting.

Yun Ting found a jade pendant in the box where he kept his things. There was a pig engraved on the jade pendant, which looked lifelike.

He remembered that Lu Qiniang liked pigs, so he wanted to give it to her.

Then he asked Shiyu to help him make a lace and generously rewarded her with two taels of silver.

After all, it’s the New Year, as long as everyone is happy.

Shiyu was naturally very happy. She made the lace yesterday and gave it to Yunting.

Yun Ting also rewarded her with a box of pine nut candy.

As a result, Shiyu jumped into the lake on the way back.

Shiyu's mother stood up and said that Yunting had molested Shiyu.

Duke Yun was furious.

It's not just because of a maid.

At Yun Ting's age, if he likes someone, it is normal to have a concubine.

But that maidservant was from his second brother and sister-in-law's room!

It would be so unpleasant if this were to get out.

Yun Ting, who had done nothing, naturally would not admit such an accusation.

Even feel particularly angry because of being wronged.

"I really didn't do anything to Shiyu," he cried, "If I liked her, couldn't I just go and ask her out? She's only a little older than Erya, how could I have such beastly thoughts!"

On this issue, Lu Qiniang also believed Yun Ting.

Although he is sometimes rude, Yun Ting is not a bad boy at heart.

"Don't cry, you definitely didn't do this." Erya said firmly, "If you said you teased the little maid, I would believe you, but could you do something like that?"

"Zhuozhuo——" Yun Ting cried so hard that his nose was running.

He was really sad.

Not only was he sad that his father used family rules against him without any explanation and forced him to confess, but he was even more sad that such a young life was gone.

Unexpectedly, Erya trusted him so much.

This finally gave him a little break in his blocked heart.

"Besides, my father forced me to do it."

"Forcing you to confess? That's too much."

"I told him I didn't do it. But my father forced me to say it, saying Shiyu seduced me and was rejected by me, so she jumped into the lake out of grief. She's gone, and I can't throw dirty water on her anymore. This is not the case!"

Although Yun Ting was crying all the time, his attitude was very firm.

He would not throw dirty water on Shiyu just because she was dead.

He can't do it.

"I want to find out the truth of the matter." Yun Ting said, "Her mother must have been instructed by someone. We should start with her mother."

"Then why don't you tell your father?"

"I told him, but my dad didn't listen."

"Your father is sick!" Erya couldn't help but spit out sweet words, "Whoever dies is right, then you should die too and let him see."

Lu Qiniang stepped on her in anger.

Adding fuel to the fire, isn't it?

"I don't dare think about Shiyu now." Yun Ting said, "...She is really a very good girl."

In the past, he didn't care about such maids and took their service for granted.

But now, when he thought of Lu Qinniang, Daya and Erya, who had also served as servants in other people's houses, he couldn't help but put himself in their shoes and felt pity for them.

Behind every ordinary person, there are parents and family members, and they also have their own lives.

But if someone wants to plot against me, an innocent life will be implicated.

Shiyu is very shy, but she is very skillful. She was so happy when she received the money she rewarded, but she didn't expect that someone had already planned to kill her.

"Alright, drink your tea, change your clothes, and get some rest," Erya said. "Don't go back to that home of yours. No matter how much wealth and glory we have, we won't be bullied by them! I have two thousand taels of dowry, and I'll give you one thousand taels to use when you marry!"

Lu Qiniang: “…”

Is there anyone who advises others like this?

He became more generous.

But San Ya also added fuel to the fire, "I'll give Brother Yun Ting a thousand taels too!"

"Don't make trouble." She pulled San Ya to her side.

"I can't sleep. I feel so sorry for Shiyu. If I hadn't looked for her, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble. I've ruined her life."

"Bah. What does the bad guys' evil deeds have to do with you? You were also beaten and hurt by the bad guys. Yunting, remember, every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. This matter will not be over until the bad guys are found out. If you really want to do good for her, find out the person who really hurt her." Erya said.

Yun Ting nodded, and was about to cry again, "Wait. Give me some time. I'll go to the palace and let my grandmother make the decision for me! I won't go over to upset her during the New Year."

Lu Qiniang said, "Da Ya and Er Ya, you two stay with Yun Ting. I'm going to the Duke's Mansion!"

She wants to go talk to Duke Yun.

This can't be done this way.

If you don’t believe in your own son, how can you expect others to believe in him?

Doesn’t he know whether Yun Ting is that kind of child?

"Go, mother, help Yun Ting vent his anger." Erya said angrily, "I'll go too!"

"Just stay with Yun Ting. I'm not going there to argue." Lu Qiniang said, "I'm going to see what's going on. Xiao Yan, you also stay with Yun Ting."

"I have to accompany you to the Duke's Mansion. Let's go back and change our clothes first, and then go together."

"No, I can go by myself."

Don't offend Duke Yun and then he'll hold a grudge against Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said, "You won't be able to see the Duke. Come on, I'll go with you."
