After Yun Ziyu left, Yun's father looked at Yun Ziyu's back and said with dissatisfaction, "It's all because you spoiled him. A doting mother spoils her son."
Yunmu glared at him. "My son is upright and honest. Forget it. But what do you think of that Mo family girl?"
Yun's father frowned. "What's there to think about? If he wants to marry her, he can just do it."
They don't care about family background or social status; they only care about the person.
Yunmu smiled and said, "You're right, you were just as direct back then."
Upon hearing this, Yun's father quickly looked around, then carefully smiled apologetically, "Madam, the past should not be mentioned."
Just then, Yun Ziheng sent someone with a message.
"What did Heng'er say? Did he say when he would be back?" Yunmu asked hurriedly.
After reading the letter, Yun's father frowned and said, "He said he encountered some things that need to be dealt with, and he will be back in a couple of days."
"That brat is really something. He's not young anymore, and he's never home. It's driving me crazy. He's almost of marriageable age, and he still hasn't settled down at all." Father Yun threw the letter on the table.
When Yun's father talked about his two sons getting married, he had a lot of bitterness to say.
"That old guy next door is already holding his great-grandson. I don't expect them to marry a goddess, and I don't care about any family background. As long as the other person is of good character, knows manners, and knows what's important, that's enough. In such a big city as the capital, is it that hard to find someone like that?"
As Yun's father got more and more excited, Yun's mother couldn't stand it anymore. Taking advantage of his turning his head, she quietly got up and left.
Mr. Yun turned to ask Mrs. Yun's opinion, "Madam, what do you think? Hey, where is she? She left without even calling me."
Yun's father suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice, pretended to straighten his clothes, and walked out the door with a calm expression.
"Someone, fetch the horse. I'm going to patrol the city gate." Yun's father stood in the courtyard, looking at the gate with an air of authority.
Three days later.
Yun Ziheng had not yet returned, but news of his injury had already spread throughout the capital.
Yunmu looked worried. "This child, he didn't come back even though he was injured. He ran off to the village to recuperate. What kind of behavior is this? Is someone in his family trying to harm him? I don't even know how serious his injury is. It's really worrying."
Yun Ziyu sat on a chair to the side, behaving improperly. Hearing Yun's mother's words, she comforted her, saying:
"Mother, don't worry, eldest brother will definitely be fine. He's so skilled in martial arts, he can handle a bunch of thieves. It's just that eldest brother has never liked to show off, I wonder what he's up to with this."
Yun's father stared intently at the tea on the table, his thoughts unreadable.
"General, Madam, the young master is back." The guard at the door ran in, panting.
Yun's father frowned and gently scolded, "You're back, so what's with the panic? What kind of mess are you making?"
The guard hurriedly replied, panting, "The young master was brought back in a carriage, and he seems to be seriously injured. The Yuan family is blocking the young master's way with their men, demanding an apology."
Yun's father snorted coldly, his face full of icy intent, "Who is this old scoundrel bullying?"
After saying that, he left, grumbling and cursing.
Yun Ziyu quickly followed, not forgetting to turn back to her mother and say, "Mother, don't worry, just wait at home. Father and I promise to bring my eldest brother back safely. We'll be back soon."
Mica called out worriedly from behind, "Don't get into a fight with anyone."
"Don't worry, Mother, it won't happen." Yun Ziyu replied readily.
He'll never get into conflicts with anyone anyway.
As for his father, even as a son, he can't control him.
Mica looked worried and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
"They're all such a handful! Someone, take this plaque and hurry, go to the palace to fetch the imperial physician." Yunmu turned and instructed the steward.
The steward acknowledged the order and withdrew.
The old nanny beside her comforted her, "The young master must have his reasons for doing this, so Madam doesn't need to worry too much."
Yunmu sighed, "Ah, this child has always been very decisive and easy to manage. The general and I have never had to worry about him. This time, there's been such a big commotion. I wonder what it's all about."
When Yun Ziyu and his father found Yun Ziheng.
Through the carriage curtain, Yun Ziheng could be seen lying inside the carriage.
At this moment, a group of people from the Yuan family were kneeling in front of the carriage, with Lord Yuan at the head.
He was all smiles and fawning, pleading with the people inside the carriage.
Just then, a weak yet chilling voice slowly came from the carriage: "Lord Yuan, I really cannot accept such a grand gift. I'm sure you know perfectly well what happened that night at the Lantern Festival."
These words were tantamount to directly revealing that Yun Ziheng had already thoroughly investigated the group's background.
Upon hearing this, Lord Yuan's forehead instantly broke out in a fine layer of sweat, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Ziheng spoke again and ordered, "Yin Feng, I need to go to the palace immediately."
Having not seen the two little ones for three whole days, Yun Ziheng was truly worried about them, so he decided to visit them in the palace first.
However, when Lord Yuan heard Yun Ziheng mention the events of the night of the Lantern Festival, he felt guilty and his eyes darted around, clearly racking his brains to defend himself.
But when he heard that Yun Ziheng was going to the palace, his heart jumped into his throat.
Subconsciously, I assumed that Yun Ziheng was going to the palace to meet His Highness the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor, and to report the matter to the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Lord Yuan's eyes turned cold. Fortunately, he was prepared.
"Lord Yun, please wait. It's all my fault for that wretched daughter. I failed to discipline her properly. Now she doesn't even listen to me anymore. I told her not to go out of the city at night, but she insisted on going her own way, causing Lord Yun to get injured. I will definitely not let her off."
