Yun Zhenchuan roared, "I'm not dead yet! If you can't control that little beast, then make him get back to Yunzhou Prefecture. Don't even think about letting the Kong family leave the Yun family."

Yun Er moved to the side, trying to minimize his presence so as not to get caught in the crossfire.

Yunyu hurriedly knelt down, "Father, please calm down. It was your son who overstepped his bounds."

"Do you think you've grown up and can take your aunt out to enjoy a life of luxury?"

Yun Zhenchuan stared at him with wide eyes. This son of his had always been cunning, and he knew exactly what he was up to.

Yunyu buried her head heavily in the ground, "Son wouldn't dare!"

"What are you afraid of? Get out!" Yun Zhenchuan's chest heaved with anger.

"Your son was wrong, please calm down, Father!"

After speaking, Yunyu kowtowed heavily again before slowly getting up and leaving the study.

As the two stepped out of the study, they heard a loud crashing sound coming from inside.

Standing not far from the study was Madam Kong, tears streaming down her face. Yun Yu quickly stepped forward to support her and tried to comfort her, but Madam Kong hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled him back to the backyard.

Yun Er stood there for a while until there was no more noise of things being smashed in the study, only the sound of Yun Zhenchuan's panting.

He chuckled dismissively. Was it so hard to admit he was inferior? He brushed off nonexistent dust from his sleeves, turned, and walked away with an air of nonchalance.

Yun Zhenchuan slumped into a chair in the study, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Yunyu, who had been away for more than two months, returned this time and her ability to handle affairs and her skills had subtly surpassed those of her eldest son, whom she had personally taught.

He had to admit that his grandfather had really done a good job raising his eldest brother's children.

Yu Xunmei sent people to find Yun Zhenchuan, but was refused. So she ordered people to keep watch outside the Yun residence at all times.

Since the direct approach didn't work, she decided to try the indirect one—get the man first.

Yun Zhenchuan didn't want Yun Er to get into trouble in Yunzhou Prefecture, nor did he want to offend the Yu family, so he forbade him from going out again.

Knowing that Yu Xunmei's men had been guarding outside the Yun residence, Yun Er devised a plan to deal with them before leaving.

Leaving Yunyu behind, he put on a crescent-colored robe, quietly climbed over the wall and went out, deliberately showing his face in front of the Yu family's spies, and then slowly walked towards the city outskirts.

"Reporting to Miss, the young master of the Yun family went out today!"

Yu Xunmei, who was drinking with his male lovers in the garden, suddenly stood up and threw down the wine glass in his hand.

"Quickly prepare the horses!"

She rushed out of the courtyard and pointed to the guards watching over it.

"You, and the rest of you, come with me."

Yu Qiutao, accompanied by her maid, came from the corridor and, seeing the situation, hurriedly asked, "Young Miss, where are you going?"

Yu Xunmei didn't even glance at her before hurriedly leaving with her men.

Yun Er took one step and stopped twice. Finally, when he was almost at the city gate, he caught sight of a carriage speeding towards him. Yu Xunmei was sitting on the carriage's crossbar. He turned around and smiled at her.

He had striking features: sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face with red lips and white teeth. His moon-white robes accentuated his tall and slender figure, and his refined and noble demeanor made him seem like a celestial being descended from heaven.

Yu Xunmei was stunned. Looking back on her countless encounters with men, none could compare to him.
