Chapter 581
It's amazing that the Yun family could come up with the idea of having Yunxi bear that woman's child!
The two of them kept talking back and forth, and Madam Yun's face immediately turned ugly.
“But… what I gave her was real!” Madam Yun said. “Yun Xi, tell me yourself, have I mistreated you financially?”
“The Yun family is wealthy and powerful, how could they be stingy in this regard?” Yun Xi smiled, but her eyes were icy cold. “Back then, you did give me a lot of money to protect myself, but Yun Wan confined me to the back room, and I couldn’t even leave the small Liuyun Garden. Was this money for me, or was it meant for Yun Wan after I lost my usefulness?”
Madam Yun's expression changed slightly: "Anyway, the money has been handed over to you. If you can't use it, that's because you're not capable enough. What does it have to do with me?"
Everyone was instantly shocked by Madam Yun's shamelessness.
"How dare you confine her to the back room?!"
Zhong Jie was concerned about something else.
These are all large, well-off houses; who wouldn't know what the back room looks like?
That's where miscellaneous items are stored, or where the lowest-ranking servants live!
Even the servants with any semblance of respectability in the courtyard would live in an adjacent courtyard!
Zhong Jie was so angry that she wanted to draw her knife and kill someone, but fortunately, her mother stopped her.
But Mother Water's complexion was also not good.
When Zhong Jie was pregnant, she prayed to the gods and Buddhas for a daughter. She was extremely careful during her ten months of pregnancy. Before the child was even born, Zhong Jie had already collected all the good things in the world.
This child was born amidst the anticipation of the entire Huo family.
But I never expected that such a thing would happen, and I never expected that this child would go through such a thing!
If it weren't for the fact that a banquet was still being held outside, and that someone dying would be unacceptable, Water Mother would have just handed over the knife.
Madam Chen was more composed than Zhong Jie, but her pale knuckles betrayed her unsettled inner state.
"So, according to you, if I cut off your head now and you still can't leave alive, it's because you're not capable enough?"
Madam Chen sneered, "Yun, we're all not fools. Who do you think you can fool with words like that?"
As expected, Madam Yun's expression turned ugly.
Yunxi looked at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Madam, the child you raised from childhood is the Crown Prince, while I belong to the Huo family. Aren't you curious about where your own child is?"
Madam Yun stared at her blankly.
yes......
Neither of the two children is hers...
Where is her child?
Yunxi's smile deepened: "It might be a good thing that Madam's child hasn't been found. Even if she can't enjoy a life of luxury outside, at least her life is safe, isn't it?"
Her words were clearly an attempt to manipulate his mind.
As Madam Yun's face grew paler and paler, Yun Xi's smile faded.
She ordered someone to drag Madam Yun out, and Yun Xi returned to her room alone.
Zhong Jie did not chase after them.
She knew that Yunxi needed to have some peace and quiet.
"Is the banquet up ahead still in full swing? Shouldn't Your Highness go and take a look?"
Zhong Jie pressed her temples: "Yes, I still have to go to the front. I'll trouble you to look after Xi'er here, sister."
Don't worry.
With Madam Chen around, Zhong Jie had nothing to worry about.
She turned and left. Madam Chen didn't go in directly, but went to find Shen Nianchu first, and carried him inside.
