The irritable Qiuqiu is now incredibly angry, and her tolerance for someone like Yun Zihan is practically zero.
If it were a good-looking villain, Qiuqiu would be willing to listen to him say a few more words, but he's ugly, and even the face-obsessed Xiaojinli thinks his breathing is wrong.
Chiu Chiu got so angry that she started waving her little fists and stopped pretending to be Lin Daiyu.
[Ha ha ha, I'll beat you to death!]
So angry that he missed the most important sentence, General Yun caught the key words from the chorus of curses: "I wonder what could possibly make Young Master Yun risk his life for not marrying off his sisters?"
Yun Zihan instantly fell silent, her eyes wide open, clearly panicked.
"I... because of... that..."
“Young Master Yun, you can speak frankly. I am your elder, and it is only right and proper for me to stand up for you. Although I am old, I still have the ability to say a few words in the court. Don’t be afraid.”
Yun Zihan is terrified right now!
"You flatter me, Ancestor. These are all trivial matters and not worth your trouble. Zihan can handle them himself."
"Your solution is to use your sisters to appease them?" General Yun felt a surge of anger, as if his sisters would sacrifice everything for him. He hadn't seen such a shameless person in a long time. "If you're being threatened, just say so. I'll report him tomorrow."
Heaven knows how much Yun Zihan wanted the old man in front of him to shut up. He cursed the meddlesome old geezer and the outsider in front of him in his heart.
The boundless malice was amplified infinitely, and Qiuqiu nuzzled her mother's neck uncomfortably. Yun Zihan definitely has a problem.
She pointed her little finger at Yun Zihan's chubby face and said firmly, "Bad!"
Yun Zihan slapped her hand away: "What are you pointing at? You ill-mannered brat!"
"Shut up!" Lord Yun was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, but it was too late to stop Yun Zihan.
General Yun and Su Junyao both turned pale. If looks could kill, the other person would have died ten thousand times over.
As a father, Su Junyao naturally wouldn't let Qiuqiu suffer injustice for nothing. He flicked his long sleeves and pushed Lord Yun aside. The aura of someone who had been in a high position for many years was something that Yun Zihan, this good-for-nothing, could not compare to.
An invisible pressure made Yun Zihan feel suffocated, and she even forgot how to breathe. Her brain was deprived of oxygen, and her legs gave way, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Su Junyao looked down at him with disdain, as if he were looking down at an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
"Yun Zihan, it's none of your business to interfere with the upbringing of the Marquis of Wenyang. As for Miss Yun's matter..."
"This is none of my business, nor is my daughter's business. I just don't know if the noble ladies in the palace can interfere."
Although Consort Yun is not favored, she is still His Majesty's woman and a mistress. Besides, would their servant really only bring out one Consort Yun when she intervenes?
The Empress, one of the four concubines, is enough to give them a hard time. Moreover, the Empress felt wronged because of the Crown Prince's mistake. As long as Qiuqiu asks for help, the Yun family will crawl to apologize!
After her father's reminder, Qiuqiu suddenly remembered that she also had someone to rely on.
[Go to the palace to lodge a complaint!]
Chiu Chiu was unhappy; the tricks she had planned to use against Aunt Zhao were no longer useful. Her chubby little hands grabbed Yun Shi and her daughter, one in each hand.
【This is called appealing to the emperor!】
This completely changed the nature of the situation. What could Su Junyao do? He could only spoil his own daughter! The couple exchanged a glance, and only Yun Jinglan spoke up about it.
"Madam Yun, my Qiuqiu was only doing this for someone else. I never expected that she would be threatened and fainted by Aunt Zhao in this manor, and now she's being insulted by Yun Zihan. Do they really think our Qiuqiu is easy to bully!"
"I won't let this go so easily. Let's go to Her Majesty the Empress right now and reason with her!"
Regardless, this is a family matter of the Yun family, and even if they are related, they cannot interfere, let alone bring the person home. However, using an excuse to bring the person into the palace is a different story; that is not a place where Yun Zihan and Aunt Zhao can do whatever they want.
This Yun Zihan has serious issues; we're sure to find something out during the interrogation. A trip to the palace is definitely on our way!
The Yun family was truly terrified. It wasn't Zhao San threatening them; they were the ones begging him. If this really escalated to the Emperor's ears, not only would Yun Zihan be punished, but Yun Sheng's official position would also be in jeopardy.
Even someone as doting on Yun Zihan as Lord Yun dared not protect him at this moment.
"Smack!"
Lord Yun struck hard with this slap; Yun Zihan's face immediately swelled up, turning bright red and somewhat frightening, with no trace of blood even visible at the corner of her mouth.
"Pah!" Yun Zihan spat on the ground, the saliva tinged with blood. He wiped his mouth, glaring at Lord Yun with a sinister look, as if the person before him was not his father but his enemy.
Lord Yun was startled by Yun Zihan's gaze, suddenly feeling that he was a complete stranger. His finger trembled as he pointed at Yun Zihan: "What kind of look is that? Am I not allowed to slap you, even if I'm your father! Immediately apologize to the Marquis and his wife! Apologize to me right now!"
Aunt Zhao rushed over and held Yun Zihan down, tenderly touching his face. She paced back and forth between the father and son, saying, "We're all family, what are you doing? Master, Zihan is your own son, your only son, how could you be so cruel!"
"Zihan, don't blame your father, he didn't want to either."
Throughout the entire ordeal, Madam Yun and Yun Xiangling watched the "intimate" family of three with cold indifference, like outsiders. Yun Jinglan sighed slightly, stepped forward and patted Madam Yun's shoulder. Taking advantage of the fact that the family of three wasn't looking over, she quickly withdrew and forcefully took Yun Xiangling and Yun Zihan away.
"Enough!"
"Once today's matter is settled, you can return and enjoy your time together as father and son. Now, come with me to the palace immediately to explain things to Her Majesty the Empress!"
Chirp chirps in response: "Hurrah!"
"No, Lady Hou... Oh, oh, oh!"
Lord Yun was pushed aside by Yun Jinglan and forced to lie down. Before he could even touch the hem of her clothes, Su Junyao grabbed his wrist: "Lord Yun has not managed his household well. Come on, come with me too! Guards, please invite Lord Yun and Young Master Yun to come with us!"
The couple, working in tandem, didn't even give them a chance to react before dragging them away from the Yun residence.
Aunt Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, while Madam Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
They could only hope that the nobles in the palace would open their eyes and spare their Xiangling this once!
Su Junyao ignored Yun Zihan's wailing, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, and dragged him all the way to the palace gate while rubbing his ears.
The palace was magnificent, and even the palace gates were imposing, with sixteen people in each gate, arranged in rows of eight.
Yun Zihan was as uncontrollable as a pig waiting to be slaughtered. He had only taken two steps when the guard standing at the front drew his sword and held it to his neck.
"No disrespect is permitted before the Imperial Palace!"
The cold blade pressed against Yun Zihan's neck, and with each swallow, he could feel the veins sliding back and forth on the blade.
"No, no, don't move..."
He was scared!
"ah!"
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
