Upon hearing this, Yun Qianming's eyes widened, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He genuinely thought Yun Lianhua was a good person.

When he was unhappy, Yun Lianhua would stay with him.

When he was sad, Yun Lianhua would comfort him.

When he was punished by his father, Yun Lianhua would plead for him.

He remembered that sometimes his father would get very angry and threaten to punish him with family discipline, and no amount of persuasion could change that. It was Yun Lianhua who begged his father to let him go.

Every time Yun Lianhua pleaded for mercy, her father would punish her leniently.

On several occasions, Yun Lianhua was beaten to death by her father before she could plead for him.

They clearly had such a good relationship, and everything he did was for Yun Lianhua, so why did Yun Lianhua say such things?

Yun Qianming felt as if he was about to collapse.

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and asked the steward, "If our Third Young Master faints, do we still need to go to the estate?"

The steward said earnestly, "Madam said that regardless of whether the Third Young Master is unconscious or dead, he must be sent to the estate!"

Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Qianming and shook her head regretfully: "What a pity! Even if you pretended to faint, you couldn't escape being sent to the manor! It's so tragic!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianming rolled his eyes and fainted.

He was clearly so angry with Yun Chuwei that he fainted.

The butler reached out and caught Yun Qianming, who was about to fall to the ground, his lips twitching.

"Young Miss, why did you make him faint?" the butler said helplessly.

Yun Chuwei said casually, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. Is he too easily angered?"

The butler sighed softly.

The young lady has already apologized, what else can he say?

What he meant was, most people wouldn't be able to handle being this angry.

However, it's understandable that the young lady is angry with the third young master.

After all, no older brother would do something like conspiring with outsiders to frame his younger sister.

"Young Miss, please go and see Madam. This old servant will first see the Third Young Master off!"

After the butler finished speaking, he took Yun Qianming away.

After the housekeeper left, Yun Chuwei headed towards He Ning's room.

Just now, when He Ning turned and left, Granny Song followed.

At this moment, Granny Song was standing guard at the door of He Ning's room.

Inside the room, one could hear He Ning and Yun Lianhua talking.

"Mother, why have you refused to see me these past few days? Do you also think that I poisoned you?" Yun Lianhua asked, feeling wronged.

He Ning immediately denied it: "Of course I know it wasn't you. I raised you, so I know what kind of person you are. I have indeed been unconscious for the past few days, which is why I haven't seen you!"

He Ning paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the imperial physician said that my poisoning was indeed caused by bird's nest."

Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua clenched her fists, her heart tightening.

He Ning continued, "But don't blame yourself. It's probably because there's something wrong with the source of those bird's nests. When your father comes back, just have him investigate the origin of those bird's nests!"

Yun Lianhua was clearly relieved.

"I understand, Mother."

He Ning continued, "The imperial physician said that my body may need rest, so I plan to stay at the temple for a few days. Firstly, to pray for blessings, and secondly, to recuperate. During these days, if anything happens at home, just tell the steward. If the steward can't make a decision, he'll send someone to ask me!"

Yun Lianhua was somewhat surprised, but did not object.

Yun Chuwei was equally surprised. She asked Song Mama in a low voice, "Are we going to the temple?"

He Ning's poison hasn't even reached the point of causing a full-blown attack, so what's the point of her needing to rest?

Granny Song nodded with a cryptic expression.

At this moment, He Ning raised his voice a few decibels inside the room: "Is Weiwei here? Come in quickly!"

Yun Chuwei went inside.

He Ning leaned against the soft couch and beckoned to Yun Chuwei, gesturing for her to sit down next to her.

At the same time, He Ning looked at Yun Lianhua and said, "Lian'er, I'm fine. You can go ahead and do what you need to do!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua said softly, "Then Lian'er will take her leave now!"

After saying that, she dragged her feet and walked out.

As she reached the door, she turned back to look inside and saw Yun Chuwei sitting on the soft couch, speaking softly to He Ning.

Yun Lianhua's eyes were filled with hatred.

Previously, He Ning was only this affectionate towards her.

But after Yun Chuwei returned, she completely took He Ning away from her.

Now, He Ning only dotes on Yun Chuwei, treating her like a blade of grass.

Since that's the case, don't blame her!

Yun Lianhua lowered her eyes and quickly left.

He Ning and Yun Chuwei were also talking about going to the temple to recuperate.

She lowered her voice and said, "Your father will be back in the next couple of days. I haven't figured out how to face him, so I'm planning to stay at the temple for a few days. If your father really has something going on, he'll definitely take action when he gets back. My absence will lower his guard and make it easier for my people to gather evidence against him!"

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. She knew that He Ning still held hope for her so-called father.

It's better that she left; after all, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective. Once she sees everything clearly from a distance, she'll know what to do.

“Since Mother has made up her mind, let her do it,” Yun Chu said with a smile. “I support Mother!”

He Ning looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "What I mean is, you should come with me."

Yun Chuwei shook her head: "I have other things to do, so I won't go with Mother. I feel at ease knowing that Granny Song is with Mother!"

He Ning frowned slightly: "I'm worried about leaving you here alone!"

Yun Chu smiled slightly, "I'm a Taoist priest, what kind of situation would it be for me to stay in someone else's temple?"

He Ning was taken aback; she actually felt that what her daughter said made a lot of sense.

Yun Chuwei continued, "Don't worry, I can protect myself!"

“Alright!” He Ning conceded. “Then be careful in everything! If anything happens, have the butler send me a message immediately.”

Yun Chuwei nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Granny Song walked in from outside.

She came to He Ning's side and whispered, "Madam, the difference between your attitude towards the eldest young lady and your attitude towards the second young lady is too great!"

He Ning's expression darkened, and he replied, "She poisoned me, do you expect me to treat her like a treasure?"

Granny Song continued, "I'm afraid the Second Miss will take her anger out on the Eldest Miss!"

She had just noticed the hatred in the Second Miss's eyes as she looked at the Madam and the Eldest Miss.

He Ning frowned slightly: "What you said makes sense. I'll be more careful in the future!"

Before closing in, try not to alert the enemy.

-

The following morning, Yun Chuwei and Yun Lianhua saw He Ning and Granny Song off.

After watching the two leave, Yun Lianhua turned to Yun Chuwei, her face full of confusion: "Why didn't you go to the temple with Mother for a few days, sister? Don't you want to stay with Mother and fulfill your filial duties to her?"
