You should back down when you need to, but you also need to stand up for yourself when you need to, otherwise others will only think you are easy to bully.
As for this letter of recommendation, it was naturally given by Dr. Chen from the post station who had previously asked her to teach him CPR techniques.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the official's eyes flashed for a moment, and his expression immediately turned obsequious. "So you are a friend of Doctor Feng. My apologies for not recognizing you. I was blind and offended you, Miss. Please forgive me."
This prefect was appointed after the establishment of the new dynasty. He was a well-known good official and was said to be a special imperial envoy sent down from above to manage all affairs of Qiongzhou.
To put it simply, all officials, big and small, on Qiongzhou Island had to listen to him; he was practically a local emperor.
Being able to establish a relationship with such a high-ranking official means you can practically do whatever you want in Qiongzhou.
Of course, Yun Zhourong only had a relationship with the prefect's physician, but prefectural physicians were generally trusted by their masters. With this relationship, how could she not prosper in the future?
Therefore, this official was genuinely wary and didn't want to offend Yun Zhourong and his group.
Yun Zhourong hadn't expected that the title of "Prefectural Physician" would be so useful.
However, she also knew the principle of "leaving a way out for others, so that you can meet again in the future," and did not make things difficult for the official.
He simply said, "Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
After saying that, the second wife and her group left.
"That little bitch is so lucky!"
Watching the group's departing figures, Yun Mingzhu stomped her foot indignantly, then looked at Yun Hongshen and asked, "Father, what do we do now? Where do we go?"
As a result, Yun Hongshen was seen leaving with Yun Zhourong and the others.
"Father, why are you following them?" Upon seeing this, Yun Mingzhu and Yun Mingxuan quickly chased after him and pulled him away.
"Didn't you hear them say they know people in the prefect's office? We're new here, so we definitely need to follow them to have a good life."
After Yun Hongshen finished speaking, he shouted to Yun Hongcheng, "Second brother, wait for us, let's go together!"
“Yun Hongshen, we’ve already split up. We’re going our separate ways. Don’t try to curry favor with us.” Upon hearing this, Yun Hongcheng turned around and said coldly.
"Second brother, we are brothers after all. You wouldn't really abandon your elder brother to the point of death, would you?"
Yun Hongshen started playing the family card, looking at Old Madam Yun with a wronged expression, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I was forced into this situation by that wicked woman, Qin Shi. I swear I will listen to you from now on."
After all, he was her own son. Seeing Yun Hongshen's pleading look, Old Madam Yun softened and turned to look at Yun Hongcheng.
Seeing this, Madam Zhao knew that Old Madam Yun had forgotten the pain of her past mistakes and was about to become confused again.
So he stepped forward and said coldly to Yun Hongshen, "Brother, since you are so filial, then take Mother away. The eldest son should bear the responsibility of supporting her."
"mother…"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyuan tugged at Zhao's sleeve with some reluctance.
His grandmother was very good to him, and he didn't want to be separated from her.
Zhao Shi, however, remained expressionless and looked at Yun Mingyuan, saying, "When adults are speaking, children should refrain from interrupting."
"Xiao Yuan, don't worry about this."
Yun Zhourong was initially a little anxious, but after receiving a look from Zhao Shi, she immediately understood and stepped forward to pull Yun Mingyuan away.
Although Yun Mingyuan was puzzled, he remained silent after seeing Yun Zhourong's expression.
"That won't do!"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yun Hongshen immediately voiced his opposition.
However, he quickly realized his reaction was inappropriate and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "What I mean is, Mother definitely wants both of her sons to be by her side to take care of her. If you leave, Mother will be so heartbroken."
These words were sincere and reasonable; if one didn't know Yun Hongshen's character, one would truly be fooled by them.
As for Old Madam Yun, she looked at Yun Hongcheng with genuine emotion and said, "Second son, we have no relatives or friends here. It's good for us to be together as a family so that we can take care of each other."
“Mother, if you really feel sorry for my eldest brother, then live with him. We have already separated our families, and there is no reason for us to get back together.”
Yun Hongcheng has now seen through his elder brother's true colors and understands Zhao's good intentions, so he is very cooperative.
The eldest son's family are ungrateful wretches. If you continue to stay with them, you will only suffer the consequences and be harmed.
This time, he is determined not to compromise.
"Second son, your mother just feels..."
“Grandmother, Father and Mother have made it very clear that Uncle is, after all, your own son. It is your freedom to choose who you want to live with, and we have no right to object. But we and Uncle can never be family again.”
Yun Zhourong also spoke with absolute certainty.
"You brat, I'm your own father! I've raised you for nothing all these years!"
These words successfully enraged Yun Hongshen, who pointed at her and began to curse, "No wonder you're so old and still can't get married. You're so vicious and cold-blooded, what man would want you!"
"That's right, Dad is absolutely right. Yun Zhourong, you deserve to be unwanted!" Yun Mingzhu mocked gleefully upon hearing this.
Although Yun Zhourong had long since given up on this father, she still turned pale with distress upon hearing him say such hurtful words.
She simply couldn't understand how a father could say such vicious things to his own daughter.
"You're a complete bastard!"
Yun Hongcheng was furious. He stepped forward and punched Yun Hongshen in the face, yelling as he punched, "I warned you before. If you dare to insult Ruanruan again, I won't be polite to you. This time, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Yun Hongcheng was originally just a weak scholar, but after these days of exile and training, he is no longer the same as before. He is agile and very strong.
As for Yun Hongshen, he had been unable to eat or sleep well during his exile, and his previous indulgence in sensual pleasures had already drained his body, making him no match for Yun Hongcheng.
He was beaten so badly that he was completely powerless to fight back, and lay on the ground screaming in agony.
"Stop hitting him! Let go of my dad!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Mingzhu and Yun Mingxuan stepped forward to pull the person away.
However, Yun Zhourong stopped her, coldly saying with the stun gun in her hand, "Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"You worthless piece of trash, and you think you can threaten me? I'll..."
Yun Mingzhu was somewhat wary, but Yun Hongxuan didn't take it seriously.
He remembered that the old stick was completely useless.
So he stepped forward to attack Yun Zhourong.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
"Bang..."
As a result, he was electrocuted by Yun Zhourong with a stick as soon as he stepped forward and fell straight to the ground.
