Chapter 532
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zongwen sneered, "You mean my daughter has wronged you?"
Madam Yun: "It's not that she's innocent, it's just that Xi'er is still a child, and there are many things she can't see as comprehensively as we adults do..."
Seeing Madam Yun's audacious words, Madam Chen was even more furious: "What do you mean by not seeing the whole picture? You've already made my daughter marry and have children in place of your adopted daughter! How much more comprehensive do you expect?!"
“Madam, you can’t say that,” Madam Yun said patiently. “That Young Master Shen is one of the most outstanding talents in Luoyang City. It’s a blessing for Xi’er to be with him!”
It would have been better if he hadn't said those words, because once they were, Chen Zongwen went berserk: "A top-notch talent? Even if he were the King of Heaven himself! He wouldn't have the audacity to ask my daughter to be his concubine!"
"Xi'er is truly unlucky to have biological parents like you!"
"Let me tell you, if you don't care for her, we will! You don't need to come anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jixiang and Le'an came up from behind: "Lord Yun, Madam, please go back."
Upon seeing Jixiang, Madam Yun couldn't help but sneer, "I never would have guessed you were such a loyal servant! You've probably forgotten who your original master was!"
Despite Madam Yun's rebuke, Jixiang was not afraid: "This servant only needs to remember who her current master is."
The original master?
What a joke!
If it weren't for Yunxi, how could her mother have survived and now live a carefree life?
Besides, she and Yunxi have been through so much together, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they've shared life and death, their bond has long surpassed the ties of a mere contract!
Madam Yun gritted her teeth.
Yun Changliang remained calm: "Lord Chen, Madam Chen, no matter how we treat her, we still give her several thousand taels of silver a month. The fact that she can settle down in Jizhou and live a life of comfort is ultimately because of us. Based on this alone, we can't say that we have mistreated her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Yun subconsciously straightened her chest.
However, Chen Zongwen only sneered: "Several thousand taels a month? I've really been away from Luoyang for too long. Are the salaries of court officials this high now? Where does your income of several thousand taels a month come from? This is just a little pocket money for your daughter. I'm sure His Majesty is very curious about your actual income."
Yun Changliang's face was subtly tense.
Madam Yun, who was standing to the side, said, "Naturally, it's from business! My family has been in business for generations, so what's so strange about having such a fortune?"
"Madam!" Yun Changliang called out in a low voice.
He bowed to Chen Zongwen expressionlessly, then turned and left. Madam Yun gritted her teeth and had no choice but to follow.
As for the gifts they brought, they were all thrown out as well.
Now, they've lost both face and substance.
——
After chasing them away, Madam Chen was still not satisfied: "Look at these two, they don't take Xi'er seriously at all!"
"That's right."
Chen Zongwen suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh no, I forgot something!"
Madam Chen looked at him suspiciously: "What is it?"
"We've been so focused on impeaching the Yun family that we've forgotten about that Marquis's mansion!"
"I'll write a memorial right now and impeach them all!"
