"Mom, what does he want to do? Should I go see him?"
Yun Wanyao was at a loss for a moment.
If it were in the past, she would definitely go to meet him. She originally planned to instigate both sides and make this person turn against Mo Yuanhao, so as to reduce their threat to the Yun family.
If he was killed by Mo Yuanhao by accident, that would be even better. She would then have avenged herself in the plot and those Yun family soldiers who were killed by him.
But now, her engagement with Mo Yuanhao has been cancelled, and they will no longer have any relationship in the future. This plan is obviously aborted halfway and will not work.
"It doesn't matter whether we meet or not. We are useless. Just don't cause trouble for them. For trivial matters like this, we can do as we please."
Madam Yun shook her head and replied helplessly.
The IQ was completely crushed, and as for martial arts, the gap was even greater and incomparable.
The mother and daughter had never practiced martial arts since childhood, and now their bones have long been destroyed. Even with their mental strength and top-level skills in front of them, they can do nothing but sigh in despair.
That little bit of cleverness might be fine in interpersonal relationships and daily affairs, but it would be far from enough to compete with someone like Pei Yu.
Therefore, in Madam Yun's eyes, Yun Wanyao's previous little thoughts about Pei Yu seemed extremely ridiculous.
She didn't interfere because she knew that even if Yun Wanyao really messed up and caused trouble, someone would clean up the mess.
I just wanted her to have fun.
Yun Wanyao: “…”
"Mom, we two are certainly not as good as them, but we are not useless, right?"
"You have managed such a large Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner. Over the years, there has never been any mistakes."
"As for me, although I am not as talented as Atang, I am also well-educated and well-mannered, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and I can also do accounting and arithmetic~"
"If you and dad allow me to show my face, then I can be a female teacher or an accountant. How can I be considered a waste?"
In Yun Wanyao's opinion, those people who only know how to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and seek pleasure, and who have no skills, no ability to take care of themselves, and are completely good for nothing are complete wastes.
She and her mother are better than ordinary people, so how can they be considered useless? "Taking care of the inner house is what every mistress of the house should do. What kind of ability is that?"
Madam Yun shook her head, somewhat disagreeing with what she said.
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao curled her lips and refuted with convincing arguments.
"Why not? Didn't Madam He make the house a mess? Lord He and the young masters and young ladies in the house are almost begging on the streets;"
"There are also the Pang family and Lord Chen's family... The backyard is even more chaotic. It can be seen that managing the inner house also requires some skills."
Madam Yun sighed and was too lazy to argue with her any further.
"Okay, okay, you're not a waste. Have you made up your mind? Do you want to go see Pei Yu?"
"If you see him, go quickly. It would be rude of our family to make people wait too long. If you don't see him, let Yu Luo find a reason to send him away."
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao held her chin with both hands and thought deeply.
"Since mother said it's okay whether I meet her or not, then I'll go and take a look. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of meeting anyone."
He had just proposed marriage to the Su family in the morning, and now he came to find her. Yun Wanyao was very curious about what the Pei man wanted to find her at this juncture.
She wasn't afraid of what that guy might do to her.
This is the Yun family, and there are her guards everywhere. Even if that guy is a complete idiot, he will never hurt her.
"Well, go ahead."
Madam Yun responded but did not remind her of the precautions.
Because, there is no need.
Soon, Yun Wanyao got up and left.
Mrs. Yun looked at Yun Rui who was quietly eating nuts, and found a small piece of peanut skin on his face, so she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped it off for him.
"Xiao Rui, are you bored? Would you like to accompany me to visit Sister Zhenzhen?"
He didn't go to school today. His homework had already been completed. He had even finished all the review work that needed to be done. He even went over several lessons. Therefore, there was nothing else to do.
After hearing what Mrs. Yun said, Yun Rui nodded slightly.
"good."
The weather is clear and the sun is warm today, but even so, it can't dispel the winter chill.
The exposed skin was frozen and painful. Mrs. Yun held her fur coat tightly and took Yun Rui's hand and put it into her wide sleeves.
"Xiao Rui, are you cold?"
Walking on the clean gravel path, she turned her head to look at the clean and fair little creature being raised beside her.
Yun Rui shook his head, "Mom, I'm not cold."
"Well, if you are cold, don't bear it. Be sure to tell mom and she will ask someone to buy you some more thick cotton clothes."
"Okay, thank you, mom."
"hehe."
Mrs. Yun smiled and reached out to touch his head which was covered with a cotton hat.
After walking through the corridor, passing the garden rockery, and crossing a curved arch bridge, I finally saw the gate of the villa after a while.
Before I got close, a sharp sound was heard from afar.
Madam Yun paused slightly, frowned, then took Yun Rui's hand and quickened her pace.
As they walked into the courtyard, they saw from afar Shang Rong grabbing Zhenzhen's clothes and throwing a tantrum, while Yun Chuchu sobbed and tried to comfort her.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, stood aside with a gloomy expression, looking at Shang Rong with extremely cold eyes.
"I just want to tear off her clothes. How can an ugly slave wear such beautiful clothes?"
"She just wore a nice dress, can't mother recognize her own daughter?"
"I am your daughter, why should I let this ugly girl call you mother? Mother, open your eyes and take a good look. She is the lowest and most despicable girl in the mansion. She is not your daughter."
"You ugly bastard, you dare to steal my mother? I will tear you apart."
Shang Rong cried and screamed miserably, grabbing Zhenzhen's clothes with both hands and tearing them hard.
But Zhenzhen was like a puppet, standing on the ground in a daze, not resisting, struggling or moving, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.
Madam Yun watched quietly for a moment, and roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter, and suddenly felt a surge of anger.
I've been busy lately and forgot that I haven't dealt with this little yellow-haired girl yet.
If nothing is done, she will come here to bully Zhenzhen. Ha, she doesn't even realize whose territory this Duke's Mansion belongs to.
"Lu Wu, are you just going to watch outsiders bully my Yun family's daughter?"
She spoke coldly, pointing her finger at Lu Wu who was standing beside her.
Hearing the voice, Lu Wu turned his head and saw his mistress walking towards him with the adopted third young master. Her face looked very ugly and it was obvious that she was very angry.
Lu Wu: “…”
"Your subordinate greets the mistress."
He bowed respectfully and sighed helplessly.
"Sister-in-law."
Yun Chuchu also looked at her, gently wiping her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes red.
Madam Yun's eyes moved slightly, and she said without any emotion, "Why did Chuchu come here instead of taking good care of her illness?"
Hearing this, Yun Chuchu was slightly stunned.
Even though she was not sharp enough, she could sense that Madam Yun was very unhappy about her coming here.
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I just heard that you and brother brought Zhenzhen here. The weather is good today and I feel much better, so I wanted to come and see Zhenzhen."
Yun Chuchu explained while choking with sobs.
She had been in poor health the past few days and her emotions could not fluctuate too much.
Therefore, the Yun couple kept the fact of bringing Zhenzhen home and adopting her a secret from her.
It was not until today when a servant in the mansion accidentally let the secret slip that she found out about this matter. She immediately couldn't wait to bring Shang Rong over.
Ever since being thrown into the ice pond by Yun Wanye, Shang Rong seemed to be frightened and has been very well-behaved and obedient during this period.
That's why I brought her along.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she saw Zhenzhen, she seemed to be possessed by something dirty, and started crying, making a fuss and throwing a tantrum.
"Since you came to see Zhenzhen, why did you allow this bitch to bully her?"
Madam Yun asked coldly, feeling speechless and puzzled.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
She couldn't understand it at all. Yun Chuchu clearly knew that Zhenzhen was her daughter, and Shang Rong was the couple who wanted to kill her and deliberately swapped her child with hers. Why could she be so open-minded towards this bitch, but watch her child being bullied?
Such a magnanimous, soft-hearted and kind-hearted person, could it be that Yun Chuchu is really the reincarnation of some Buddha mother? "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I wanted to recognize Zhenzhen too much, so I let her call me mother and ignored Rong'er's feelings."
"After all, Rong'er has always called me mom, so she may not be able to accept it for a while, so... I was inconsiderate, it's all my fault."
Madam Yun: “…”
She simply didn't know what to say.
I can only sigh silently that time is indeed a butcher's knife, wiping out Yun Chuchu's brain.
No wonder she raised Shang Rong to be so barbaric and unreasonable.
It was clear that Yun Chuchu was gentle, kind, and sensible before. How could she become so confused after being married for a few years? Could it be that she was influenced by those stupid things in the business world? Madam Yun suddenly felt that Yun Wanyao was right. She was not a waste!!! Indeed, compared with the fool Yun Chuchu, she was not a waste.
"Chu Chu, there's something I haven't had time to tell you. As for Zhen Zhen, your eldest brother and I have already adopted her. Her surname is Yun now, and her name is Yun Zhuyu."
"She is the second young lady of our Yun family. She is the child of me and your eldest brother. From now on, you should never tell her to call you mom again."
"You are her aunt, so don't make the mistake of relationship."
What? She is my aunt? Yun Chuchu's body swayed, her mind went blank, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. However, Madam Yun didn't care about her thoughts and slightly turned her head to look at Lu Wu beside her.
"Lu Wu, pull that wild girl away. If you fail to protect Zhenzhen again, I will hold you accountable."
Lu Wu: “…”
It was really not that he intentionally watched Miss Zhenzhen being bullied by this wild girl. The truth was, Madam Shang said that she would handle it and did not allow him to interfere.
After all, Madam Shang is the lord's biological sister. He can't just not give her any face at all.
If he doesn't give face and this sickly person gets hurt, how can he take the responsibility?
How can I explain this to my Lord?
Lu Wu felt very aggrieved and looked with resentment at the culprit who caused him to be scolded by his mistress.
Then, he said respectfully, "Yes."
He forcefully pulled away Shang Rong's hands that were holding Zhenzhen's clothes, picked her up like a chicken, and threw her to the ground without mercy.
“Wow, wow~”
She was thrown so hard that her butt felt like it was broken and the pain was so severe that she was almost numb. Shang Rong burst into tears, her tears were heartbreaking and miserable.
The crying sound brought Yun Chuchu back to her senses. Looking at Shang Rong crying bitterly on the ground, she felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles and felt very uncomfortable.
"Rong'er..."
She squatted down anxiously to coax the little girl on the ground. Seeing this, Madam Yun sighed, reached out to hold Zhenzhen, who looked like a wooden sculpture, and bent down to look her in the eye.
"Zhenzhen, come back to your senses, your mother is here to see you."
She seemed frightened, or perhaps the nightmare in her memory had come to her mind. She was immersed in her own world, as if she had lost her soul.
Madam Yun called out several times before her eyes trembled and her expression showed a slight reaction.
"mother……"
She called out softly, her voice choked with sobs and carrying a hint of heartbreaking grievance. The next moment, she buried herself in Madam Yun's arms, like a little animal seeking shelter.
Madam Yun felt a little distressed, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head lovingly, her voice soft and gentle to soothe her.
"It's okay. Mom is here. Mom will protect Zhenzhen. As long as Mom is here, no one can bully Zhenzhen."
Hearing this, Zhenzhen's only remaining eye was filled with shock and her heart was full of disbelief.
In fact, she didn't quite understand why the Yun family wanted to adopt her, and she never thought that the Yun family would really protect her and love her as much as everyone in the Shang family loved Shang Rong.
But now, someone told her that they would protect her.
Protection, what a nice-sounding word, will she really have it?
Zhenzhen couldn't help but think back to her time in the business world.
At that time, her aunt tortured her, the servants bullied her, and her sisters abused her.
As daughters of merchants, she is as humble as weeds and lowly as the dust, but Shang Rong is treated like a treasure. She has been pampered since childhood and is held in the palm of everyone's hand.
At the beginning, she resisted the bullying.
But in return, his legs were broken, his eyes were blinded, his face was scratched, and his whole body was stabbed...
There was no end to the torture and injustice, and no one ever stood by her side to speak up for her.
Gradually, she succumbed to this powerful and brutal violence. No matter how painful and cruel the torture was, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
So even though she was adopted by the Yun family and learned Kung Fu from Lu Wu for a period of time, Shang Rong was still her shadow.
As long as she saw Shang Rong, the nightmare would wake her up, and she would be completely dominated by the fear and cowardice in her heart, unable to muster up any resistance.
"But, mother can't protect Zhenzhen forever. Mother will grow old, and Zhenzhen will grow up. There will always be a time when mother has no time to take care of her."
"So, Mom hopes that while I can protect Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen can become stronger on her own."
"Only if you become strong can you never be bullied, and mother and the Yun family will be Zhenzhen's backers in her process of becoming stronger."
Mrs. Yun changed the subject and began to preach earnestly.
With Yun Chuchu as a precedent, she suddenly realized that it might not be useful for a girl to have a powerful family, and sometimes she would still be manipulated by others.
Therefore, girls should always be more capable to be more reliable.
Furthermore, she felt a little suffocated by the way Zhenzhen had been bullied before but had not put up any resistance.
How could she survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak if she could be bullied like this by a little kid? Therefore, she must teach Zhenzhen a lesson on courage and strength today, hoping that the little girl would be inspired.
Powerful, a backer?
Zhenzhen pursed her lips slightly, her eyes thoughtful.
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Yun did not urge her, but looked at Yun Chuchu who was coaxing Shang Rong on the side.
Shang Rong cried and slapped her hard.
"Go, go. You let that slave call you mother, then go and be that slave's mother. I don't want you anymore. Wuuuuuu, I want daddy to divorce you..."
These words were obviously like a knife, piercing Yun Chuchu's heart and making it bleed. She looked very hurt, but she still tried to coax him patiently.
"Don't cry, Rong'er. It's all mother's fault. Rong'er doesn't want mother, so mother will have someone send you back to the merchant house. Stop crying, okay?"
Hearing this, Shang Rong felt as if her tail had been stepped on. She cried even harder and was beaten even harder. (End of this chapter)
