At this moment, the second wife felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, finally able to vent their anger!
"Xuan'er, you are too cruel, really too cruel!" Qin Shi cried with heartache, her resentment towards the second branch of the family reaching its peak.
"Mrs. Qin, all of this is because you didn't teach your child well. You should blame yourself."
Madam Yun said coldly, and then led everyone away.
Back at the cowshed, both of them slept soundly due to their pleasant mood.
The next day, after getting fully dressed and armed, I felt even more energetic and not cold at all!
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the main house was gloomy and desolate.
Yun Mingxuan had just gotten up in the morning when he was beaten again. Now he had more than a dozen whip marks on his body, and he was in so much pain that he was grimacing as he walked. He had completely lost his arrogance.
They didn't even dare to look at Yun Zhourong and the others; it seems they've truly learned their lesson.
With the eldest son and his party keeping quiet, things were much easier, and they arrived at the post station without any problems.
The eldest son's family had spent all their money yesterday on redeeming Yun Mingxuan from his sentence, and hadn't eaten anything along the way. Now they were all hungry and exhausted, almost collapsing.
"Mother, I'm so tired. Where are we going to sleep tonight?" At this moment, Yun Mingzhu sat on a stool in the main hall, rubbing her legs as she asked Qin Shi.
"Officer, we need a private room."
Just then, Yun Zhourong took out the shredded silver and handed it to the constable, then looked at the eldest son and the others and shook her head, saying, "Oh dear, it seems some of them will have to sleep in the cowshed tonight."
After saying that, he led all the members of the second wife's family upstairs.
Now that I have money, there's no need to mistreat myself anymore. Only by taking good care of my health can I safely make my way to the place of exile.
"Mom, we're not really going to sleep in the cowshed, are we? Waaah, I don't want to sleep in that stinky place!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingzhu was so frightened that she burst into tears.
"Damn it, they're not a bunch of paupers, where did they get the money?!"
Seeing the second wife's group go upstairs, Qin was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.
She was extremely puzzled. She had almost killed off all the people in the second wife's family, so why were they suddenly getting better and better?!
Could it be that someone is also giving money to the second wife's family behind the scenes?
Qin quickly confirmed her suspicions; it must be true, and she needed to tell that person about it as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, she took Yun Mingzhu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mother will definitely not let you live in the cowshed. You wait here for a while, Mother will be right back."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
After traveling for a while, Qin finally chose a secluded lakeside to release the signal flare in her hand.
Meanwhile, the group from the second family, upon arriving at their room, were all deeply moved by the clean and comfortable environment, exclaiming, "Finally, we don't have to fall asleep smelling cow dung anymore!"
"I actually find it a bit strange when the smell disappears after a while," Yun Hongcheng said comfortably, lying on his back on the bed with his eyes half-closed.
Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately pretended to be angry and pushed him, saying, "Fine, if you like it, then go back to the cowshed. Hurry up and leave."
"Hey, hey, hey, Madam, don't be angry. I was just saying it casually. It's definitely more comfortable to sleep in the room." Yun Hongcheng quickly begged for forgiveness.
"Hmph." Only then did Madam Zhao let him go.
The two younger siblings exchanged a glance and then covered their mouths to stifle a laugh.
Afterwards, Yun Zhourong checked the time and realized it was almost time to meet Ji Minxiu at the agreed location. She grabbed her flashlight and went downstairs.
She walked toward the lake, reminiscing.
The place I'm staying at today happens to be near Yunmengze, a very famous lake in Jiangling Prefecture. The environment is beautiful, so I thought it would be more suitable to summon Ji Minxiu there and have a conversation.
"Didn't you say you were about to die? Why are you still alive and well?"
As soon as I reached the lakeside, I heard voices.
She instinctively raised her flashlight and shone it, trying to see clearly.
"What is that? Who is it?!"
The flashlight beam was so bright it blinded the other person, who didn't see her clearly but immediately chased after her.
Oh no!
Yun Zhourong muttered to himself that he was being foolish, and quickly turned off the flashlight and ran in another direction.
The other party was talking about death and life, clearly plotting something bad. She had overheard their secret, and the consequences of being caught would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, her down jacket was black, completely concealing her in the darkness, so the other person's lantern couldn't reach her at all.
The open space made her footsteps even clearer, so she thought for a moment, then found a ridge in the field and crawled down to get up.
There's a saying, "the darkest place is under the lamp," meaning the most dangerous place is often the most unexpected.
Sure enough, they quickly lost track of the other party.
The candlelight, so faint, was like a firefly in this vast space, making it extremely difficult to find the person.
"Damn it!"
The other person looked around at the pitch-black surroundings and snorted angrily, "Didn't you say there wouldn't be anyone here?"
Her voice was deep and resonant, and she appeared to be a middle-aged woman of considerable age.
"This place is deserted. How could I have known that someone would happen to come by? They must have just been passing by and don't know us. It's alright, isn't it?"
Another cautious female voice followed, belonging to a young woman.
"It's best not to ruin the master's plan. You should seize the opportunity to make your move, otherwise don't blame the master for replacing you with someone else. You should know the consequences of abandoning a pawn," the middle-aged woman said coldly.
"I understand. We were almost successful, but for some reason, something unexpected happened. I will find another opportunity."
The young woman hurriedly made a promise in a panic, and then said, "By the way, recently the second wife has suddenly had more food and money on her. I suspect that someone is helping her behind the scenes. If that's the case, it will be difficult to make a move."
