After hearing Yun Chuwei's words, Yun Zheng understood what she meant.

If Yun Chuwei does this, Yun Xian might be the one who gets scolded in the end.

Given how Yun Xian treated them, it's only right that they retaliate against him.

But he always felt that, as sons, weren't they being too heartless in doing this?

Have they really decided to give Yun Xian no more chances?

Seeing Yun Zheng's silence, Yun Chuwei could roughly guess what he was thinking.

She said, "You've lived with him for so long, it's understandable that you feel reluctant. There are some things you don't have to do. But you can't hold me back, and I hope you understand that."

As she spoke, Yun Chuwei's expression turned colder: "If you hold me back, then you're on my opposite side. I don't show any mercy to my enemies."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng quickly replied, "I know what I should and shouldn't do! Don't worry! Even if I die, I won't hold you back!"

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "I hope you keep your word. After all, we've been through a lot together. I don't want to lose a brother!"

Yun Zheng felt a warmth in his heart and said earnestly, "Some people, although they are related by blood, cannot be considered family. I am very clear about this, so don't worry!"

Yun Zheng knew that Yun Chuwei had done a lot to protect him during his imprisonment.

If he betrays Yun Chuwei, he won't let himself off the hook.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "In that case, let's proceed according to plan!"

-

Because Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng also started spreading rumors, rumors became rampant in the capital.

It was because Yun Zheng and Yun Chuwei's account was so vivid that the people who heard the rumor they spread were all angry and furious.

They even felt that Yun Zheng and Yun Chuwei were not worthy of being human.

These two men committed patricide, a heinous and unforgivable crime.

What's even more despicable is that after Yun Xian saved them, they still mocked and ridiculed him without any gratitude.

Yun Xian and Xie Sheng were both pleasantly surprised to hear such rumors.

It's important to understand that such rumors would be devastating for Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng.

They had always hoped that Yun Chuwei would be punished and expelled in this patricide incident.

Their plan had already failed, and they had given up on it.

Unexpectedly, the rumors developed in a direction that benefited them, which truly surprised them.

So they started to find people to spread these things, and even added a lot of details about Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng bullying Yun Xian.

The people in the capital were even more furious and finally spontaneously surrounded the Wenyang Marquis's residence, demanding that Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng be punished.

Yun Chuwei stood on the pavilion of the Marquis's mansion, a smile appearing on her face as she looked at the crowd of people at the entrance.

She turned to Yun Zheng beside her and asked, "When do you think Mother will be able to come back?"

Yun Zheng looked into the distance and shook his head: "I don't know either!"

He hoped his mother could return as soon as possible, given the overwhelming force of the people. He estimated the gates of the Marquis's residence wouldn't hold for much longer.

Or rather, some people won't let the gates of the Marquis's mansion stand for long!

"What if Mother hasn't returned when these people break down the door?" Yun Zheng asked Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei's gaze swept across the crowd of people outside, and she said, "They might die! Many of these people are martial arts practitioners; they are clearly fake civilians deliberately arranged by someone!"

Needless to say, these fake civilians were definitely targeting her and Yunzheng.

As long as the civilians manage to break in, these people will attack them.

Outnumbered, she and Yunzheng might actually be killed by these fake civilians.

After killing them, these fake civilians will surely continue to blend in with the common people in order to escape punishment.

After all, the law does not punish the masses.

Yun Zheng frowned, clearly sensing the danger as well.

He asked, "Do you have any way to get Mother back as soon as possible?"

Yun Chuwei smiled slightly, "I don't have any other choice. What we're doing is a huge gamble, isn't it?"

Yun Zheng pursed his lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Yun Chuwei paused for a moment and then continued, "I'm going to say a few words to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. You can do as you please!"

After all, some people couldn't wait to let those civilians in and kill them, so she still had to be careful when guarding her Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Yun Zheng nodded and watched Yun Chuwei descend the stairs.

After exchanging a few words with Xiuyi, Yun Chuwei returned to her own courtyard.

She never expected Xie Xuan to appear in her room.

She smiled at Xie Xuan and asked, "What brings you here? How's the case going?"

Xie Xuan frowned slightly. He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "What kind of time is this? You still have the mood to care about me and the case? Yun Chuwei, what are you thinking?"

He's been busy with the case these past two days, so he didn't notice how far the rumors had gone!

After learning the details, he became worried, so he came to find Yun Chuwei.

He hadn't expected that Yun Chuwei would be so relaxed, acting as if nothing had happened.

Yun Chuwei sat down at the table, poured Xie Xuan a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said, "Don't rush, have a cup of tea first."

Xie Xuan frowned even more. He didn't reach for the tea, but stared at Yun Chuwei with deep eyes, trying to see what she really meant.

Does this person really not care about his own safety?

Yun Chuwei felt a little uncomfortable under Xie Xuan's gaze, so she smiled and explained, "Actually, the way the rumors in the capital have developed to this point is partly due to Yun Zheng and I fanning the flames!"

Xie Xuan finally understood Yun Chuwei's meaning: "This current situation was something you planned long ago!"

Yun Chuwei nodded seriously.

Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving an affirmative answer.

But he still asked, somewhat unsure, "Is it still controllable?"

Yun Chuwei nodded again: "I have a plan!"

"Just say so if you need any help!" Xie Xuan said, then picked up the tea that Yun Chuwei had poured for him and drank it.

Yun Chuwei watched him finish his cup of tea in one gulp, then poured him another, saying, "For now, we don't need anyone's help. But you, tomorrow is the joint trial by the three judicial departments, right? Have you finished collecting your evidence?"

Xie Xuan said slowly, "Don't worry, Yue Jingsheng won't escape this time! You tomorrow..."

He wanted to say that it was too chaotic outside and that Yun Chuwei shouldn't go out tomorrow.

However, Yun Chuwei spoke directly: "The joint trial by the three judicial departments is such a big matter, how can I not go and see it?"
