Chapter 656

Su Zhengyu had originally thought that Yunxi would rush to see him as soon as she heard the news.

Not wanting to wait until dark, Yunxi still hadn't arrived.

Little did he know that Yunxi had heard the rumors on the street and they were true, but she didn't take them to heart at all.

Zhong Jie was worried about her and came to check on her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was alright and said, "You can leave this to Mother. You just stay home and rest!"

Although I don't know how this rumor started, I can always find out if I want to.

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Yunxi is doing a disservice to the entire Huo family!

Zhong Jie got up and left.

“Wait, Mother,” Yunxi called out to her, “I might know who did this.”

"You know?" Zhong Jie turned back again. "Tell me exactly what happened."

Yunxi then told him about the Su family's visit.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jie immediately laughed: "The Su family, what a Su family! Just because they didn't attend their banquet, they resorted to such methods. Are they planning to just come to their door and kidnap them next?!"

"Mother, don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, wouldn't that just give them something to watch?"

"No, the Su family is far too arrogant!" Zhong Jie was still furious. "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it!"

Zhong Jie got up and left, but Yun Xi had no choice but to take a few steps forward and grab her hand: "Mother, don't be in such a hurry."

"This matter seems to be the work of the Su family, but the root of the problem does not lie with the Su family. In my opinion, the only way to handle this matter properly and without leaving any future troubles is to work on Madam Yun."

"you mean......"

Zhong Jie clapped her hands: "I'll call someone right now to kill Madam Yun and settle this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi instinctively tightened her grip on Zhong Jie's hand.

Is that what she meant?

This isn't right!

“Mother, leave this matter to me. My relationship with Madam Yun... also needs to be settled.”

Although Yun Wan was the one who killed her in her past life, Madam Yun, the mastermind behind it all, shouldn't even think about escaping.

After hearing what she said, Zhong Jie thought for a while before nodding.

“I’m just worried about you,” Zhong Jie said. “The way Madam Yun treated you before, I feel that it would be my dereliction of duty as a mother to let you see her even once more.”

Yunxi chuckled: "I'm not that fragile. I want to take revenge on those who have hurt me. Why would I hide and be afraid to face people?"

Hearing her words, Zhong Jie was somewhat surprised: "You really think so?"

"certainly."

Zhong Jie couldn't help but smile.

She truly is her daughter.

"In that case, why don't we hand Yun Wan over to you to deal with as well?"

Yunxi was taken aback: "Yun Wan? Isn't she the Second Prince's daughter? Can she still be dealt with now?"

Zhong Jie raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead: "What's wrong with the Second Prince's daughter? She hasn't acknowledged her ancestors. If things get out of hand, His Majesty won't protect her. Besides, the Crown Prince has been deposed now, so she's not as powerful as before. It's not like we can't do anything to her."

Yunxi had a sudden flash of inspiration and asked, "Was the dethronement of the Crown Prince... also orchestrated by the Huo family?"

"I suppose so," Zhong Jie sneered. "However, it's also because Yun Wan is so hated that even if our family took action ourselves, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Yunxi was secretly alarmed.

She felt that the Crown Prince's deposition was unusual, but she never expected that the Yunnan Prince's Mansion was involved.

Seeing Yunxi's surprised expression, Zhong Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so surprised. You are our family's only daughter. If you have been wronged, our family will naturally seek revenge."

Yunxi remained silent and leaned on Zhong Jie's shoulder.

"Mother, thank you."

"Silly child."

Where Yunxi couldn't see, Zhong Jie's eyes also quietly reddened.

Fearing that Yunxi would worry, Zhong Jie quickly composed herself and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, your mother wrote you a letter."
