Lady Yun felt dizzy and disoriented, not knowing when her daughter had met Gao Xun. She looked to Madam Yun for help, but the latter seemed dazed and clearly didn't know what was going on either.
Chiu Chiu closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious. The silent scene almost made her fall asleep.
What's wrong with Gao Xun? Why is his father-in-law looking down on him?
Don't let his age fool you; he's got the skills! He's much better than Master Zhao.
The Yun couple couldn't hear Qiuqiu's inner thoughts and were unaware that Qiuqiu had already mentally criticized their blindness over and over again. Su Junyao, upon hearing the name "Zhao San," felt somewhat displeased.
Zhao San's real name was Zhao Yuzhi. He was the cousin of the Second Prince's mother and a notorious playboy in the capital. His methods of torturing people were despicable, and few people wanted to associate with such a filthy and stinking person. Su Junyao had also heard some of his deeds from his colleagues. If Yun Xiangling really married Zhao San, her life would be ruined.
"Is something on your mind, Lord Yun, that you're not speaking?"
He simply couldn't believe that Yun Sheng would say in front of outsiders that he wanted to marry Yun Xiangling off to Zhao San, who was more than ten years older than her and had unusual fetishes!
As long as Yun Sheng doesn't speak up, Gao Xun's matter has a chance. Judging from Qiu Qiu's intention to act as matchmaker, they, as elders, will naturally go along with it and pave the way for Qiu Qiu.
Lord Yun wasn't shameless enough to publicly announce that he would send his youngest daughter to his youngest son to pay off a debt. He remained silent, neither objecting nor agreeing, only wanting the other party to forget about it as soon as possible.
This little kid has so many problems, even trying to be a matchmaker? Does she even know what matchmaking means?!
After waiting for a while without hearing any movement, Qiuqiu cautiously opened one eye. From her angle, she could see Lord Yun's shifty and guilty expression. [Ha, what a scumbag father!]
Madam Yun walked quietly to Yun Xiangling's side, took her hand, and gave her a comforting look as encouragement.
They, mother and daughter, were not meant to die!
Aunt Zhao, who had been cautiously observing from outside the courtyard, was bumped into by Yun Zihan, who had just come out of the courtyard. Without saying a word, Yun Zihan grabbed her arm and forced her in.
Yun Zihan shouted loudly, "I disagree!"
[Huh? Who do you think you are? Why are you disagreeing!]
Chiu Chiu was so angry that she wanted to jump up and unleash a set of Meow Meow Fist to show him how powerful she was, but when she glanced at Aunt Zhao behind him, she suddenly closed her eyes.
The real show is about to begin!
When Qiuqiu looked over, Aunt Zhao's eyes met hers. Was she alright?
"She's awake!" Aunt Zhao shouted, pointing at Qiuqiu. "She's alright, she's awake!"
Chirp: [You can't see me, you can't see me. I'm unconscious, I'm unconscious.]
Hypnosis is amazing!
Chiu Chiu remained completely still, convinced deep down that she was unconscious.
Yun Jinglan gently shook her limp body and frowned: "Your concubine in the Yun family is truly vicious. She scared my daughter into fainting and then falsely accused her of faking it."
"She's not even a year old yet, how could she possibly think of that!"
Chiu Chiu's acting skills can only be described as superb. Lord Yun watched for a long time but couldn't find any flaws. "It's like she really fainted."
"Do you think we'd lie to you?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Lord Yun said awkwardly, giving Aunt Zhao a hard shove so she could apologize to Yun Jinglan. "How could you be so disrespectful to the Lady of Wenyang Marquis? Quickly apologize to her!"
Aunt Zhao was used to throwing her weight around at home, and this was the first time in recent years that she had been so shameless. She stiffly forced a smile and said, "Madam, please don't hold a grudge against me."
Yun Jinglan ignored Aunt Zhao and let her kneel down and fawn over her.
“Madam Yun, my daughter Qiuqiu has come to your residence to propose marriage to Miss Yun because of Lord Gao’s favor. This matter is not a joke and must be taken seriously.”
Chirp: [Yes, yes, I never joke.]
[Mom, your description is too dry. You need to highlight Gao Daren's strengths.]
Chiu Chiu muttered to herself, "If I were awake right now, I would definitely give Gao Xun a good compliment!"
[Don't wake up, keep playing dead. I'm not being a good boy today, I'm going to start framing Aunt Zhao!]
First, Qiuqiu apologized to herself, then felt at ease continuing to play dead while eavesdropping on her mother and Madam Yun's conversation.
No one told Aunt Zhao to get up, so she remained half-squatting in a bowing posture. After a while, Lord Yun began to lose face.
A group of them broke into his house like thugs, not only threatening him verbally but also harassing his beloved concubine!
This is intolerable!
Yun Jinglan raised her voice at the right moment to ensure that Lord Yun could hear every word she said: "Lord Gao is the commander of the Imperial Guards and a close minister of the Emperor. He recently won the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince in the imperial examination case and was once in the limelight. Our Qiuqiu has her eye on Miss Yun, and this ideal husband is still thinking about her."
Lord Yun froze, like a chick being choked. Undeniably, Yun Jinglan's words had struck a chord deep within him.
Zhao Sankong held the title of the prince's maternal uncle but had no real power. Gao Xun, on the other hand, was a genuine military general, the Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Guards, a second-rank official!
He's young, has a bright future, and can even light up his father-in-law's future along with him.
Lord Yun changed his mind halfway and quietly moved to Lady Yun's side.
Madam Yun felt unlucky and turned away, not wanting to look at him any longer.
Yun Zihan was unhappy. No matter how high Gao Xun's rank was, could he help him pay back the money? Could he keep his secret?
"Father, didn't you say you had other plans for Fourth Sister's marriage?"
He frantically tried to signal to his father with his eyes, his eyelids almost twitching. He didn't even have time to see his father's response before his face twitched from the cramps.
Yun Jinglan added at the opportune moment: "Adults say that children shouldn't interrupt, or they'll get a sore mouth."
[Filthy mouth! Filthy mouth!]
Yun Zihan felt a sharp pain in her mouth, and a nauseating metallic taste quickly spread through her mouth. When she opened her mouth, a trace of blood had already flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Cough cough cough, what... Ouch, it hurts so much!"
Yun Jinglan: "I told you not to interrupt! See, your foul mouth is being punished by God!"
Yun Zihan indeed felt the tearing pain in her mouth. Just moments ago the sky was clear and blue, but now it was overcast with dark clouds and a strong wind was blowing. Already feeling guilty, Yun Zihan's face drained of all color.
"Snap!"
A clap of thunder sounded, and he leaped up and jumped onto Lord Yun's back.
Lord Yun was no longer young, and having his burly son pressing down on him felt like having a stone weighing him down, making it hard for him to breathe.
This kid can be ruthless; he'd even dare to hurt his own father!
That wasn't enough. Yun Jinglan noticed the strange attitude of the Yun family father and son, and taking this opportunity, she said in a sinister tone, "If you don't do anything wrong on a normal day, you'll be haunted by ghosts at night."
In a flash, Yun Zihan remembered what had happened before.
No one else can know!
"Snap!"
The second bolt of lightning struck, hitting the courtyard. White smoke billowed from the blue bricks, startling everyone.
He tried to shut his mouth: "It was all my doing! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Please let me go, please let me go."
Yun Jinglan said meaningfully, "Lord Yun, it seems you'd like to interrogate your son first?"
