Chapter 214 Fear of the Yi Luan Charity Association Collapse
Consort Yu was startled: "Who are you?"
She instinctively tried to call for help, but when she opened her mouth again, she found that she couldn't speak.
Consort Yu made two "woo-woo" sounds, and when she realized she couldn't make a sound, her pretty face turned pale with fright, and her eyes filled with tears.
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid, I have no intention of harming you." The old woman spoke, her voice rough and unpleasant.
Consort Yu was even more frightened, feeling as if the voice was coming from a mouth with a cut throat, which was extremely terrifying.
"As long as Your Highness doesn't call for help, I will lift the restrictions on you. However, if you say one thing and do another, I guarantee that Your Highness will die before anyone outside can get in."
Looking at the strange old woman, Consort Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
The old woman laughed, her face wrinkling into a deep knot, making her look even more terrifying: "That's right, I like obedient people the most."
Her hand brushed through the air, and Consort Yu felt a lightness on her body. She instinctively opened her mouth and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that she could actually speak!
The old woman said in a hoarse voice, "Speaking of which, I have some connection with Your Highness. The person who helped Your Highness some time ago was my husband. He went far away to earn money but did not return for a long time. I checked his fate tablet and found out that he was already dead."
Upon learning that the man who had caused her to conceive a freak was actually the old woman's husband, Consort Yu was filled with rage. However, remembering that her life was still in the other party's hands, she suppressed her anger: "I didn't kill him!"
After calming down, she understood the current situation.
This old woman came seeking revenge.
Isn't that a coincidence?
She also had a grudge against Yu Zhiyi.
She originally wanted Yu Zhiyi to help her get the baby back to normal, but that little bitch didn't give her any face at all, nor did she give the Yu family any face.
Since that little bitch has lost her usefulness, and still dares to disobey her orders, then she should die!
"Oh? Who killed him?"
The old woman stared at Yu Fei with her cloudy eyes. Yu Fei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave under the gaze of those eyes, and her body was shivering with cold.
Not only that, but a sharp sword was also hanging above the ice cave, as if it would fall down and kill her instantly if she wasn't careful.
She shuddered, her voice trembling slightly: "It's... Yu Zhiyi, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Justice! She's learned some mystical arts and, relying on her abilities, she looks down on everyone."
The old woman finally learned the name of her enemy, and her eyes blazed with intense hatred.
Yu Fei only felt a blur before her eyes, and then the old woman disappeared.
She blinked. If it weren't for the goosebumps on her skin from the cold, she might have suspected that she had just had a nightmare.
Suddenly, she looked at something that had appeared out of nowhere on the table and was quite certain that she wasn't dreaming.

"In that case, the Li mother and daughter are indeed pitiful."
After hearing about the plight of the Li mother and daughter, Hongluan's fox-like eyes were filled with anger: "These people are despicable. They don't dare to come to you openly, but they dare to bully an orphan and a widow. They are shameless."
Yu Zhiyi pondered for a moment, without offering any further explanation.
This can be considered as agreeing with Hongluan's point of view.
However, the reason why the person behind the scenes sought out the Li mother and daughter was not simply to take revenge on her.
It was for Jiang Xiaohua.
Jiang Xiaohua was born in a yin year, yin month, and yin day. Such a destiny is very special and has a fatal attraction to evil cultivators.
Whether it's capturing her to use as a cultivation furnace or letting her die a miserable death, using her overwhelming resentment to forge ghost soldiers, these are things that evil cultivators are very keen on.
However, she could tell from the man's face that the person behind the scenes was a woman, which greatly reduced the possibility of the furnace being made.
Instead, they created demon soldiers...
The greater the malevolence and resentment a person harbors before death, the more powerful their ghost soldiers become.
If Yu Zhiyi hadn't appeared today, and Jiang Xiaohua had witnessed her mother being humiliated in front of her and dying in fear and resentment, she would very likely have become a vengeful ghost.
The moment the vengeful spirit takes shape, it is captured and then refined into a ghost weapon using secret techniques, with power comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The person behind this is truly... extremely malicious.
However, the Li mother and daughter were taken to Yi Luan Charity, and the plan of the person behind the scenes fell through.
I just don't know when they'll show up again.
Since that person was able to attack the widow and her child without any mercy, he must have done similar things before.
Hongluan had no idea what Yu Zhiyi was thinking. She said, "After dawn, I will hire more people to guard the vicinity of Yiluan Charity. No one should even think about harming the people inside!"
"By the way, I heard you promised to help Ms. Li cure her deafness and muteness?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "That is the plan, but I don't intend to do it myself for the time being. I'll try to find a doctor first, and if the doctor can't do it, then I'll get involved."
Li was, after all, a mortal. Many of her methods were just right for cultivators, but too intense for ordinary people.
Moreover, the spiritual energy entering the body might change Li's constitution in the future.
This kind of change isn't necessarily all good.
She wouldn't intervene rashly unless absolutely necessary.
Hongluan nodded: "That's good. We can't rely on you for everything. Otherwise, what if you ascend to immortality one day and we're the only group of Muggles left? Wouldn't we be unable to do anything?"
"Muggle?"
"It means mortal."
It's too late today, so we'll see a doctor the next day.
After examining Li, the most famous folk doctor in town said that Li's deafness was caused by a brain mass resulting from a fall that injured her head a few years ago.
After becoming deaf, Li gradually lost her ability to speak.
To cure muteness, you must first cure deafness.
However, he needs to do some research, and the treatment process won't be quick.
As for Jiang Xiaohua, there is nothing wrong with her body. The reason she can't speak is because no one has ever taught her to speak, and she rarely comes into contact with anyone other than her mother.
She'll learn quickly if she interacts with more people.
Both of these are good news.
That day, Manager Wu summarized the accounts from the previous month and couldn't help but show a worried expression.
Just then, Yu Zhiyi returned from outside and saw his gloomy and miserable appearance. She asked with some confusion, "What happened?"
Has someone who needed medical attention had an accident again?
Manager Wu said with a troubled expression, "Master, we have already spent fifty taels of silver in just half a month."
"Including our salaries, the monthly expenses amount to two or three hundred taels."
"Although the employer gives us a lot of money, if there is no income, this money will eventually run out."
Yu Zhiyi never expected that her steward was afraid that the Yiluan Charity Association would go bankrupt.
