Rebirth of the Great Miss of the Inner Court Struggle

A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...

Chapter 36 Battle (Part 1)

"A jinx? Is Second Aunt talking about me?" Sun Yun reached out and poured her a cup of tea as if no one else was there. She drank it slowly, not taking anyone seriously at all.

Madam Sun the Second was also from a prestigious family, the eldest daughter of a prominent clan. Before her marriage, she was greatly favored. After marrying into the Sun family, only Madam Sun the First kept her in check, and she could occasionally help manage the household. Moreover, Madam Ma was weak, so every time she was bullied, she dared not fight back. In the past, Sun Yun also pretended to be aloof and did not associate with others, but she still couldn't win. If she could win, why would she be bullied? Why would she need to hide in Guanzhou? Being someone's companion is, to put it bluntly, just being a servant!

As the second wife, how could she be looked down upon? She stepped forward, pointed at Sun Yun, and cursed, "You jinx! Nothing good has happened to you since you came back to the manor. What else could you be but a jinx?"

“In that case, I don’t mind making things difficult for you, Second Aunt.” After saying that, Sun Yun ordered Wu Liang, “The Sun family has already divided its assets. Does Second Aunt still have the right to live here? Men, throw her out!”

Wu Liang, expressionless, ordered his subordinates to throw Madam Sun out. However, Madam Sun was also accompanied by maids and servants, who blocked her way. "Sun Yun, you unfilial daughter, how dare you!"

At this moment, the rest of the Sun family arrived. Except for Sun Ganzheng, all the members of the Sun family were present, along with a group of maids, servants, and house servants, each of whom was carrying a stick.

"You rebellious daughter, what are you doing? What are these people doing in the inner courtyard? Do you have any sense of shame or filial piety?"

It was Sun Binli who spoke. Sun Yun turned around and saw that they had all arrived. "Second Uncle is here. Since you're here, please move out quickly. Don't make me chase you away. It would be disrespectful to you."

"You!" Sun Binli pointed at Sun Yun, his face ashen. The sudden split of the family had caught him completely off guard. If the Sun family had split up, would it still be the Sun family?

"Where's the fourth brother? Why isn't he doing anything about it?" someone asked.

"Cough cough." A cough suddenly came from behind. Everyone knew who it was from the sound and made way for Sun Binhuai.

Sun Binhuai was pale and haggard, looking very weak and unsteady on his feet. He came to Sun Yun with the help of his attendants and said, "Go back with your father."

"Father, don't you ask where Mother went?" Sun Yun's eyes welled up with tears. It had only been a few days since she last saw her father, and he had become so haggard. Her father used to love her. Even if he didn't, he was still her own father. How could she feel good seeing him like this?

Sun Binhuai was taken aback, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at Sun Yun. "Where did your mother go?"

Sun Yun sneered. Look, this is her father. His eyes are clearly filled with calculation. Where is there even a trace of affection for her mother? "Father, don't you care about your legitimate son?"

"Stop fooling around, go back!" Sun Binhuai shouted at Sun Yun, his voice rising with emotion as he coughed violently.

"You unfilial daughter! You're going to anger your father to death!" Old Madam Sun seized the opportunity to attack Sun Yun. After saying that, she raised her cane and hit Sun Binhuai. "You raised such a good daughter, treating a thief in the family like your own daughter. I'll beat you to death, beat you to death, you good daughter you raised!"

Sun Binhuai knelt before Old Madam Sun in remorse, enduring several blows from the rod. As Old Madam Sun beat him, he then pressured Sun Yun, "Apologize to your grandmother! If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame your father for disowning you!"

"Alright!" Sun Yun shouted, clutching her head. "Shut up, all of you!" She then snatched Wu Liang's crossbow. "The arrows are poisoned. If you don't want to die, obediently put down your weapons. I'll give you indentures, and from now on you can do whatever you want. If you dare to resist or have any evil intentions, that will be your fate!"

As soon as she finished speaking, three arrows were shot at Granny Ping, the old lady's confidante and one of her most trusted people.

Her aim was not accurate enough; two arrows nearly hit Madam Sun the Second and Madam Sun the Third. The two ladies reacted quickly and pulled their maids over to block them.

The arrows struck suddenly, killing three people instantly. Everyone was stunned into silence. Just as Sun Yun had said, the arrows were poisoned, and highly poisonous at that, capable of killing instantly upon contact with blood. The three men fell to the ground, twitched once, and then stopped breathing.

"Listen up, anyone who doesn't want to die! From this day forward, the Sun family belongs to me, Sun Yun. Anyone who disagrees will only face one fate: death!"

The number of soldiers was not large, but each one was imposing, as if they were armed from head to toe with weapons of strange shapes that the soldiers did not recognize or know the purpose of. Each of the eleven men carried a shield on his back, an equipment that seemed to be unheard of in the imperial army.

What they didn't know was that the soldiers of Prince Yong's mansion not only had high pay and good equipment, but they were also all skilled in using poison and knew how to kill the enemy by using whatever they could find. The assassins sent by Sun Zhongshi were killed by them by burning them with phosphorus, which has an extremely low ignition point.

They can also read. Don't underestimate them just because they are warriors. They have all undergone rigorous training and have the best overall qualities. They are the top troops in Dayong today. Peng Rui also trained a force modeled after the Yongwang Mansion's soldiers, known as the Sharp Knife. No one has ever witnessed their combat power because those who have are all dead.

The guards of Prince Yong's mansion were also among them.

Therefore, Zhao Shucai only sent one team.

Naturally, some people didn't believe in the superstition and ordered their servants and the few remaining assassins who had escaped the calamity to come and take the lives of the guards. However, before they could even get close, they were stopped by the guards' precise archery.

Several skilled assassins dodged the first two arrows, but not the third and fourth. Before long, many of the servants and assassins fell to the ground and died.

"This old servant is willing to follow the Sixth Miss, and will obey your every command, even if it means going through fire and water!" Finally, a fence-sitter who was afraid of death knelt down.

Once there was a first, there was a second. Soon, the maids, servants, and other women who weren't trusted were all kneeling on the ground. Only a few of the masters' trusted confidants were left, looking at Sun Yun with trepidation. The Sixth Miss was too terrifying; she was simply a demon.
