Chapter 242 Father Murder

Madam Wang received a message from Madam Li inviting her and Yun Yanzhe to her residence the next day.

She was overjoyed. "Yan'er, that's wonderful! The Lady of Jiangling Marquis has invited us to visit the Marquis's residence tomorrow. I'll make you a nice dress right away."

Yun Yanzhe said, "Mother, we have no money left."

"Let's go find Yue'er, she must have some money."

Wang pulled her son and walked outside, saying, "I also need to make myself a new set of clothes, so that my in-laws won't look down on me."

Upon arriving at the door, Yun Xiuwen entered the house and shamelessly said, "I want to make one too."

Seeing the bruises and scars on his face, Yun Yanzhe said tactfully, "Father, you have injuries on your face... you shouldn't go, take good care of your injuries."

“I’m your father, how can I not be there for your marriage? I have to go.”

Wang said coldly, "No! You are not allowed to go!"

The culprit who killed Yang'er still wants to benefit from her family's influence? Dream on!

“Ze’er is my biological son…”

Wang interrupted him sharply: "Who said Ze'er is your biological son?"

Yun Xiuwen's head buzzed upon hearing this, and it took him a while to react. His hand trembled as he pointed at her, "What did you say? Wang Jinzhen, you shameless slut, who did you have this child with?"

When Yun Yanzhe heard the couple arguing and bringing up his own background, a coldness settled on his handsome face. "Mother, why are you using my background to spite Father? If I were born out of wedlock, who would respect me? How could I marry Cousin Ying?"

Wang also felt that this approach was too foolish, killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of his own.

She has already lost one son; she cannot afford to lose a second.

"It was Mother's oversight..."

Both father and son breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

“Wang, you really were lying to me. Ze’er must be my son.”

Madam Wang nodded vigorously, "Yes! I lied to you just now. Ze'er is your biological son, but Chen is pregnant with your son. I only drugged the other women in the backyard, not you. I regret it. I should have drugged you back then and cut off your lineage!"

"You poisonous woman! You harmed my offspring and kicked my son and Rou'er's son to death! I'll kill you!"

"right!"

Yun Xiuwen's eyes were bloodshot and bulging, like a raging beast. He lunged forward and grabbed her neck, shouting, "You poisonous woman, I'm going to kill you!"

He caught Wang red-handed.

Yun Yanzhe tried to mediate, saying, "Stop fighting. The dead cannot be brought back to life. What's past is past. People should look forward. Your fighting and cursing will only make our Yun family a laughing stock."

"Haven't the Yun family made enough of a fool of themselves? This vicious woman has completely disgraced the Yun family!"

Wang was being choked and couldn't breathe. Her face was flushed red, almost as if it were congested with blood. She managed to say with difficulty, "Uh, quickly pull him away..."

Yun Yanzhe tried to pry Yun Xiuwen's hands apart, but he couldn't.

In a moment of desperation, he grabbed a vase and slammed it on his forehead. "Bang!"

"Ah!" Yun Xiuwen cried out in pain, releasing him and falling backward while clutching his wound. "You unfilial son, how dare you commit patricide..."

Wang glanced outside, saw no one, and picked up a vase, intending to smash it to his death.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yanzhe rushed over and snatched the vase away. "Mother, please think it over. If you kill Father, your son will be unable to pass the imperial examinations and become an official."

Wang snatched the vase and smashed it at Yun Xiuwen's side, "Bang!"

Porcelain shards littered the floor. She warned sharply, "Yun Xiuwen, I'll let this go for Ze'er and Yue'er's sake. But if you dare to insult me ​​again, or try to kill me again, I will kill you!"

After saying that, he grabbed his son, who was still standing there in a daze, and ran away.

Yun Yanzhe asked her, "Mother, will Father die...?"

"A minor injury won't kill you. Let's hurry to Yue'er's place to get money to buy clothes. The shops will close soon if we're any later. Nothing is more important than your marriage right now, understand?"

"Yes, son understands."

Hearing the commotion, Old Madam Yun rushed over, trying to help the children up. She was old and usually needed a cane to stand, and before she could help them up, both mother and son fell. "Ouch! Help! Is anyone there? Help!"

At this moment, Aunt Chen rushed into the room and helped her up, "Master, Master, what's wrong? Don't frighten me..."

She pulled a dirty, tattered cloth from her sleeve and pressed it tightly against Yun Xiuwen's wound.

"Rou'er, I was wrong, I'm so sorry. I was deceived by that wicked woman. We'll have children in the future..."

Aunt Chen nodded with a forced smile, pinched her thigh to make her performance more convincing, and her eyes filled with tears. "Master, Master, you're finally willing to believe me, waaaah..."

...

Yun Zhaoxue slept for half an hour, then woke up. She opened the window and saw the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the shop across the street casting a dim yellow glow on the bluestone slabs.

The night market was as lively as day, with wine flags waving and aromas filling the air. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, laughter, and traditional music mingled together, creating a bustling atmosphere throughout the city.

Xiao Xuance had gone out on business and was not at the inn, leaving Zhuiying to guard her.

She left a letter, jumped out of the window on the other side of the alley, found no one in the alley, and then slipped into the space.

She changed into the clothes of a country woman and then used non-toxic cosmetics to blacken her face.

Pushing a cart loaded with fruit to the bustling city center, I found an open space to set up a stall and sell my wares.

"Big, sweet peaches, eight coins a pound, thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, fragrant, sweet, and juicy... Plums, ten coins a pound, and also persimmons, kiwis..."

Her shout drew everyone's attention.

"What is this? Eight coins a pound? The most expensive peaches I've ever eaten were only three coins a pound."

"I bought the peaches that fell from the sky before the post even aired. Are wild fruits picked by a country woman from the mountains really worth that price?"

"Brother, you're absolutely right. These are immortal peaches picked from the Tianshan Mountains. Look, they're bigger than your fist."

"Even if it's big, it's not worth this price; it's too expensive."

"Whether it's worth the price or not, you'll know once you try it. I have some cut open here, let me cut you a slice to try. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay."

If it weren't for the fact that she had too much fruit in her space and couldn't finish it, they wouldn't have been able to eat the fruit grown with spiritual spring water.

The man suspected it was a scam, saying, "Really? If I don't like it later, I won't sell it to you. Don't come after me asking for money."

Yun Zhaoxue nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I said, and everyone can help testify."

If I eat it soon, I'm afraid he'll pester me to sell it to him.
