Chapter 926: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 68
Mrs. Dong was still immersed in her sweet dream, not afraid at all, "Can'er, get up! I am a daughter of the Dong family, he dare not kill me!"
"I married him at the same age as Hua, and took care of his young son for him. He didn't believe me, so I tried my best to please a little kid. Did I marry him just to be someone's stepmother? I did it for the glory of the Dong family, so that my child could inherit the title in the future!"
"Yun Ting, I have been trembling with fear for more than ten years, and you are always thinking about the dead man in front of you! I have planned a road to heaven for you, why are you so stubborn? If you don't surrender now, when the Eighth Prince ascends the throne, the Duke's Mansion will be finished!"
"You are the one who is stubborn!" Yun Ting was extremely angry, but he was very calm. "You knew that the prince had been appointed before you entered the mansion, and I never forced you. You said you loved me, so I asked His Majesty to grant us a marriage. You have enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Duke's Mansion. How have I let you down?"
"I don't want your life, not because of the Eighth Prince of the Dong family, but because you are Can'er's mother! You should be thankful that you raised a good child. You hurt him so much, and he still kneels here to beg for mercy!"
Yun Ting helped his son up and wiped his tears with his rough hands. "Don't cry! You are already thirteen years old and you will take the exam next year. Don't act like a baby!"
"I won't divorce her, so as not to embarrass you. I also don't plan to marry again. She is still the wife of the Duke's Mansion. I will send her to the farm to recuperate. You are allowed to see her once a month. When you recover, you can go to the academy to study."
When the sky was just getting light, Mrs. Dong had already set off. She was extremely reluctant to leave, but Yun Ting was determined to do what he wanted to do, and no one could stop him.
Nie Caixing simply tied up Mrs. Dong, threw her into the car and sent her away.
Nanny Qiu died suddenly. She was loyal to Concubine Dong and gave advice to Madam Dong every day. If Yun Ting didn't kill Madam Dong, he would not show mercy to others.
So what if they came out of the palace? If they were killed, then they were killed. Concubine Dong had stretched her hands too far.
All the people around Mrs. Dong have been replaced. Now that she is on the farm, she will not be short of food and drink, but of course she will no longer have the good life of luxury like in the Duke's Mansion.
There was a sleepless night in the Duke's Mansion, and everyone was in a panic. The Duke had to go to the military camp, so he thought of handing over all the affairs in the mansion to Ji Yunhuan.
"Catch those who should be arrested, beat those who should be beaten, sell those who should be sold, it's up to you to decide! I underestimated you, you kept quiet, but once you made a move, you turned the world upside down."
Ji Yunhuan looked innocent and very well-behaved, "My Lord, what are you talking about? I don't understand! You have wronged the Crown Prince, so of course I have to speak up for him! I don't have any great abilities, but I still know everything about Yuhua Courtyard."
"Don't pretend. It's not just Yuhuayuan. You've already seen that Madam Dong is harboring evil intentions, and you've been waiting for her to reveal her flaws. How could I not know what kind of person Nie Caixing is? I haven't seen her so smart in all these years. How come she suddenly knew to catch that fake monk?"
Yun Ting said with a straight face: "You are too bold! You are not satisfied with being in charge of Yuhuayuan, and you coax Yun Ye to take you everywhere, and you want to get involved everywhere! You are so restless and scheming, which female family is like you? Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you too?"
Ji Yunhuan blinked, "I'm timid, Duke, please don't scare me. I'm doing this for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is very filial. If I hadn't been on guard for him, he would have been wrongly accused to death by Madam Dong! If you, as a father, don't feel sorry for him, don't you let me, as his wife, feel sorry for him?"
"When Madam Nie took up her sword and went into battle, she was not a woman who would not settle for anything. You loved her like a fool, didn't you? Although I am not as heroic as Madam Nie, I will also help the prince."
"How dare you make up stories about me!" Yun Ting snorted, but he was obviously not really angry. "You are so sharp-tongued, no wonder you managed to coax that stupid boy to follow you!"
"As you wish, all affairs of the mansion will be handed over to you from now on. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the housekeeper. You are so capable, I don't have anything to tell you."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If Dong Hui continues to make trouble like this, the Duke's Mansion will really be finished! It's also my fault for not judging people well. I almost killed two children."
Ji Yunhuan received the token of the Duke's Mansion and smiled, "It's just a blind spot. If you keep thinking about the person beside you all the time, your life will be too boring. Duke, don't blame yourself. You and the prince are both very affectionate people."
Yun Ting thought that this sounded pleasant to the ear and was much more talkative than the one standing outside. He waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead. That silly boy is still waiting for you outside, as if he's afraid that I'll eat you! A fool has his own luck. Ye'er is a good kid. You must remember what you said today and help him well."
Yun Ye held Ji Yunhuan's hand and walked all the way back to Yuhuayuan.
After closing the door, Yun Ye's shoulders slumped. The ribbon that tied his hair had long since loosened, and his hair was draped over his shoulders in a mess, looking very pitiful.
He rested his head on Huan'er and said sullenly, "When I was little, I thought she was my biological mother. She obeyed me in everything. I refused to be weaned, so she let the wet nurse keep feeding me and helped to hide it from my father."
"Later, I was always sick, and the imperial physician noticed it and said I couldn't just drink milk. So my father was so cruel that he forced me to stop drinking milk. If I didn't eat, I would be hungry. I cried loudly, but my father didn't feel sorry for me. So I was particularly annoyed with my father since I was a child, and I liked to stick to him."
"Later, I grew up and realized that I was different from my brother. But I had never seen my biological mother, so I treated her as my own mother and was filial to her. Even though I knew she wanted to harm me, all I can remember now is her kindness."
"She coaxed me to eat, dressed me and combed my hair. When I was sick, she stayed by my side day and night. She moved all the best things to Yuhua Courtyard. My brother and I fought over the same cricket. My father scolded me for being immature, but she always stood by me..."
"Huan'er, am I useless? Even now, I still remember her kindness."
Ji Yunhuan held a wooden comb in her hand and combed Yun Ye's messy hair. "Aye is the best person in the world. How can a friendship of more than ten years just disappear? You are not useless. You are loyal and righteous, and you have a pure heart."
"Life is like a play, how can it be so clear? She has hugged you, coaxed you, and loved you. Even if it was just acting, day after day, she was sincere. Only when you can deceive yourself can you deceive others."
"She must have loved you sincerely, but now that she has her own child, she has to plan for her child. Besides, she is a member of the Dong family, and the Dong family will push her down this path."
"Aye, you still have your father, Aunt Nie, and me. I will always love you!"
Ji Yunhuan heard his own violent heartbeat mixed with Yun Ye's heavy breathing, their lips and teeth intertwined, inseparable.
She is no different from Madam Dong. She schemes hard to get close to the Duke's Mansion and continues to act like this day after day for her own selfish reasons.
Is it really just acting? She couldn't tell the difference any longer. Her heartbeat at this moment told her that she really loved him! She could act like this for the rest of her life!
