On the other side, Wang Yicheng's mother, Jia, also began to regret her actions.

(Wang Yicheng is the fiancé of Sisi's older cousin, Tian Weiyu.)

As soon as Wang Yicheng's father, Wang Jingping, returned, Jia told all the maids and servants in the room to leave.

As soon as the maids and servants left, Madam Jia looked at Wang Jingping and said, "Master, I heard that Old Master Yun fell from a tree and became mentally impaired. Have you heard about it?"

"I've heard about it."

"Then let's call Cheng'er back."

"This... Father should know as well. Since he hasn't said anything, it means he doesn't intend to call Cheng'er back."

Madam Jia also felt that Old Master Wang must have known about it long ago. After something like this happened, Wang Yong must have written back by now.

Wang Yong was Old Master Wang's attendant. Back then, when Wang Yicheng secretly went to pursue Tian Weiyu, Old Master Wang had Wang Yong lead a group of men to follow him under the pretense of pursuing Wang Yicheng.

Looking at Wang Jingping, Jia said, "I think Father might be embarrassed to admit he was wrong. I was unwilling when Father said to let Cheng'er go after that girl from the Tian family. I said that with the temperament of Old Master Yun, even if the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will not always go along with the eldest prince. He will also go against the eldest prince and provoke him."

"Now, Father might be waiting for us to beg him, waiting for us to give him a way out."

Wang Jingping thought about it and felt that it was possible. "Then I'll go and ask my father."

"Yes. Tell Father I'm crying in the house."

Aunt Liu was feeding grapes to Old Master Wang when a maidservant came in. "Old Master, the Master has arrived."

Old Master Wang glanced at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu immediately said, "I will come to serve you again later."

"Um."

After Aunt Liu left, the maidservant invited Wang Jingping in.

Wang Jingping first talked to Old Master Wang about other things, then turned the topic to Old Master Yun. "Father, I heard that Old Master Yun has become mentally impaired after his fall."

Old Master Wang casually hummed in agreement.

“Cheng’er’s mother has heard about it too. As soon as I got back, she started crying to me. What do you think?”

Old Master Wang sighed inwardly. Some things are truly innate; they can't be taught.

Old Master Wang waved his hand, and all the servants in the room left.

After the servants left, Old Master Wang looked at Wang Jingping and said, "I didn't originally intend to tell you this; I wanted you to figure it out yourself. But what if I suddenly become stupid like Old Master Yun? Then all my efforts would have been in vain."

"How could that be? You're not like Yun..."

He was interrupted by Old Master Wang before he could finish speaking. "Life is unpredictable. I'd better tell you sooner rather than later, so that you won't come and drag Cheng'er back if anything happens to me."

Old Master Wang looked at Wang Jingping and said, "Let me tell you, the reason I let Cheng'er go after that girl from the Tian family wasn't because I had my eye on Old Master Yun. It was because I had my eye on Fairy Feng and the little girl she gave birth to for Yun Yuqi."

"Huh?!" Wang Jingping was surprised. "Them? What's so special about them?" Aren't they just someone who knows a few tricks to seduce men, and someone who lives in the countryside and is fearless?

"They have powerful backers."

"Do they have someone backing them?"

"Yes. The Yun family had no dealings with Chief Steward Qi, who served the late emperor. Chief Steward Qi also did not interact with the court officials. However, when the late emperor wanted to execute the entire Yun family, Chief Steward Qi stopped him from doing so."

"You know what kind of people the Yun family are."

"At that time, I suspected that Steward Qi's attitude was related to Feng Xianzi and her daughter. Because only the mother and daughter returned suddenly."

"Later, when Cheng'er insisted on going after that girl from the Tian family, I deliberately let Cheng'er go out."

"Sure enough, after following the Yun family for only a few days, Wang Yong discovered that the Yun family's affairs were actually being made by Feng Xianzi's daughter."

"A person who can get Steward Qi to speak on behalf of the Yun family and who can get Old Master Yun to listen to him must be no ordinary person."

“If our family could establish a connection with someone like that, we might be able to rise to a higher level. Even if we don’t, we’d still have more security.”

Wang Jingping felt both admiration and shame upon hearing this. "Father, I have disappointed you again."

"From now on, don't judge things by appearances alone. Also, never underestimate anyone."

"Yes. Father, there is still one thing I don't understand."

"you say."

"Since that person is so capable, why not let Old Master Yun continue to hold the position of Minister?"

"Maybe they won't like it? Who knows? Anyway, even if I suddenly go crazy, you can't bring Cheng'er back. Also, if the Yun family needs our help, don't refuse. Got it?"

"I've got it."

Old Master Wang spoke to Wang Jingping about other things before letting him go home.

When Jia saw Wang Jingping return, she immediately asked, "Did Father agree?"

Wang Jingping relayed Old Master Wang's words to Jia Shi: "From now on, don't doubt Father's decisions anymore. Father's decisions are beyond our comprehension."

"..." So it turns out that her father-in-law letting her son go after that girl from the Tian family was not Old Master Chongyun.

On the other side, Yun Yuqi's ex-wife, Sun Wanjing, also knew that Old Master Yun had been driven mad by the fall.

Sun Wanjing had thought the Yun family would be back soon, and the four of them would be reunited. Unexpectedly, Old Master Yun had fallen and become mentally impaired!

What use is a fool to the new emperor?! What use is he?!

Sun Wanjing was almost furious!

Sun Wanjing cursed Old Master Yun in her mind. Doesn't he know his own age? Is that climbing a tree? He's courting death!
