Chapter 191 Old Madam Yun angrily beats Wang Shi

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiuwen indeed saw that Old Madam Yun seemed to be barely breathing, and he shouted anxiously, "Save her! Save her quickly!"

Zhuiying walked to the cart, wrapped his arms around Madam Yun's lower abdomen from behind, placed his fist above her navel, and pulled her up forcefully. With a "cough!" sound, a date pit was spat out of Madam Yun's mouth.

Seeing that she had vomited, Zhuiying let go of her and threw her back onto the cart.

Old Madam Yun lay sprawled on the cart, panting heavily, "Huff, huff, huff!!!"

The imperial physician, Chen, had never seen such a method of saving a life before. He asked Zhuiying curiously, "May I ask, young lady, from which book did you read about this method of saving a life?"

This girl was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding a masculine aura. If it weren't for her feminine appearance, he wouldn't have been able to call her "girl."

Zhuiying shook his head: "I don't know."

"What is this method called? I think this method of saving lives should be spread so that more lives can be saved."

"have no idea."

Physician Chen gave up asking further questions.

Capable people often have somewhat eccentric temperaments.

"Mother, Mother, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"

Madam Yun patted her chest, "Much better, much better, I can finally breathe again."

Aunt Liu handed the water pouch to the old lady, saying, "Old lady, please have some water."

Standing to the side, Zhuiying reached out for money: "Master Yun, please honor the previous promise of one hundred taels."

Yun Xiuwen had just breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his elderly mother was alright when he heard him ask for money.

After experiencing great ups and downs, one hundred taels is a large sum of money for him now, indeed a bit too much.

Yun Xiuwen discussed with him, "You just casually mentioned one hundred taels, isn't that a bit too much? How about this, I'll give you ten taels of silver."

"No, it's one hundred taels as we agreed before. If you don't pay, I'll put the date pit back in."

"You dare! You're a servant of the Xiao family. The Xiao family and the Yun family are related by marriage. Believe me or not, I'll have Xue'er sell you off!"

Even though that brat doesn't acknowledge him as her father, surely she wouldn't embarrass him for the sake of a servant?

However, he was proven wrong the very next moment.

Seated on horseback, Yun Zhaoxue said, "Master Yun, are you trying to get rid of a beggar with ten taels?"

"Doesn't Master Yun always talk about filial piety? In your heart, isn't the old lady's life worth more than a hundred taels of silver?"

Those around felt that the Yun family had acted unethically. "They agreed to pay one hundred taels, so they should have kept their word. If they couldn't afford it, they shouldn't have agreed. After the person was rescued, they reneged on the debt. What's the difference between them and scoundrels?"

Physician Chen also said, "Master Yun, allow me to speak the truth. If you have the means, you should pay this money. If you don't keep your word, who will dare to treat the Yun family in the future?"

After listening to everyone's comments, Yun Xiuwen finally gave in and said, "Wang, give him the money."

"Sir, one hundred taels is far too much."

"One hundred taels to save Mother's life, it's worth it! If the money's gone, we can just ask the Wang family for more, right?"

Most of the people present, including the Yun family, were unaware of the trouble the Qin family had caused, which had implicated the Wang family, and both families were almost exiled.

Not wanting to be accused of being unfilial, Wang reluctantly took out the money. When she handed the money to Zhuiying, she looked at his smiling face and wished she could glare a hole through it.

Yun Zhaoxue saw through her thoughts, "Madam Yun, you have repeatedly stopped my Ying'er from saving people. You made her pay a hundred taels of silver for saving lives as if you had cut off a piece of your own flesh. Have you been hoping that the old lady would pass away?"

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, it's all my Ying'er's fault for going to all this trouble."

Once she calmed down, Old Madam Yun thought about what Wang Shi and the Yun family descendants had just said. If she still couldn't understand it, she would be a fool.

She trembled with rage, gritting her teeth as she said, "Fine, Wang, have you been hoping for my death all along? You deliberately gave me the dates, you actually wanted to kill me! Today I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

“Mother, I didn’t. I’m paying now, aren’t I? What more do you want from me?” Wang was even angrier. Not only was her plan ruined, but she also had to pay a hundred taels.

Now there are only a few dozen taels left. How will this large family survive in the future?

She also planned to wait until they arrived in Jiangling, then make Yun Yanzhe a fine set of clothes to visit the Marquis of Jiangling's residence, hoping to win over her niece's heart and embark on a successful career.

Despite her advanced age, Madam Yun is very frugal and will not take anyone's life.

She sat on the edge of the cart, exuding the air of a matriarch.

"Wang! Kneel down!"

Wang Shi did not want to kneel. She did not need to rely on the Yun family; it was the Yun family that needed to rely on her.

Yun Xiuwen walked behind her and pressed her down to kneel. "Wang, why aren't you kneeling down yet?"

The old lady pointed at Aunt Liu and said, "Go and slap her."

"This, Madam, I dare not..."

"I told you to fan me, so hurry up and do it!"

Aunt Liu raised her hand and slapped her across the face after Wang threatened, "Liu, how dare you!"

He stopped after slapping her once.

Madam Yun once again commanded in a stern voice, "Keep hitting! You are not allowed to stop until I say stop!"

Wang explained, "Mother, your daughter-in-law didn't mean to kill you. Don't listen to that little bitch's attempts to sow discord."

"She's having a conflict with her mother-in-law, and since she's having a hard time, she wants to cause chaos in our Yun family..."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Aunt Liu raised her hand and slapped her once, then slapped her again with her backhand.

A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. After being oppressed for many years and framed by her to cause a miscarriage, he finally had a chance to get revenge.

After nearly twenty slaps, Yun Jiaoyue came out to stop her, and with the help of other members of the Yun family pleading for her, the old lady finally let her go. Wang's face was swollen like a pig's head.

Yun Zhaoxue earned some money and also vented her anger. Feeling great, she split the profits with Zhuiying 50/50.

Zhuiying dared not accept the money and turned around to give the remaining fifty taels to Xiao Xuance.

He accepted it.

Yun Zhaoxue mentally cursed him as a heartless capitalist.
