Chapter 4: A slap on a dog relative, I feel relieved
"What!"
Crash!
Prime Minister Su stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered!
Everyone in the Su family was also shocked:
"How is that possible!"
"Don't talk nonsense, the prince said in person that he wants to marry Yu Rou as his principal wife!"
"What's going on? Tell the truth!"
The butler said:
"I saw the group heading towards the Yun Mansion from afar, so I immediately went to inquire. According to those present, Yun Qingqing threw herself into the river to force a marriage, but failed. She tore up the marriage certificate on the spot and declared that she had no further relationship with His Royal Highness..."
"If that's the case, then why did the betrothal team go to the Yun Mansion?" Su's mother interrupted sharply.
The servant quickly explained:
"Madam, please listen to me... I've confirmed with many people present that after Yun Qingqing tore up the marriage certificate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately gave chase. Not long after, the Crown Prince's betrothal procession headed for the Yun Residence."
"What... is going on?" The Su family members looked at each other with different expressions.
Su Yurou's face was pale and her hands were tightly wrung together.
Yun Qingqing tore up the marriage certificate, and the prince actually went after her? He really couldn't let go of that woman!
No, the position of Crown Princess can only belong to me, I absolutely cannot let that bitch snatch it away!
Mother Su gritted her teeth and said:
"Yun Qingqing is the descendant of a meritorious official. The Crown Prince must be afraid of losing the support of the people if someone dies, so he had to turn to the Yun Mansion to propose marriage! Master, you must think of a solution quickly. Now everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Prince wants to marry Yu Rou. What should we do now?"
"Okay, stop yelling. Women just can't keep their temper!" Prime Minister Su frowned.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"The engagement between the Crown Prince and the Yun family has been annulled. It was the Emperor who issued the decree. Yun Qingqing's actions today were clearly a violation of the decree!"
Mother Su's eyes lit up:
"That's right! Master, quickly take Yu Rou to the palace to ask the emperor to severely punish the Yun family. See if she dares to act unreasonably again!"
Prime Minister Su nodded:
"Yu Rou, you will go with your father to see the emperor!"
Su Yurou nodded obediently, lowered her eyes and followed him, with a cold light in her eyes.
Regardless of whether the prince still has feelings for that ugly girl, this hidden danger must not be left behind!
She must be eliminated as soon as possible!
…
The Prince Regent wanted to go back to his residence to change into his wedding attire before proposing marriage, but Yun Qingqing went back to the Yun residence first.
As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted by a wave of sarcastic sarcasm:
"Hey, where did this ugly freak come from? We in the Yun family would never do such a shameful thing as seeking death or forcing a marriage!"
Yun Qingqing frowned and looked over. The person who spoke was the second wife Liu. The other people in the Yun family were almost all there. Old Master Yun was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.
"How dare you come back! You have brought shame to the Yun family!" Second uncle Yun Zhiping also frowned and scolded.
Yun Qingqing chuckled and looked at the two of them:
"Excuse me, Uncle and Aunt, do you understand what happened today? Why do you say I'm bringing shame to the Yun family?"
"How dare you talk back!" Yun Zhiping became even more furious, pointing at her nose and saying, "Bai Lian has already confessed to us. You sneaked out early in the morning just to stop the prince, and even planned to force a marriage by jumping into the river! If that's not the case, then you should explain why you're covered in water!"
"Oh——" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Bailian.
Yun Bailian looked terrified and said sincerely:
"Sister, I've long advised you that this is pointless and will only make the Crown Prince even more disgusted, but you insisted on going. I was so worried when I saw you weren't coming back, and I was afraid something might happen to you, so I told you..."
Bang!
Yun Qingqing rushed forward and slapped Yun Bailian in the face.
"Have you tried to persuade me? Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue rubbed against you when you're full of lies?"
As Yun Bailian covered her face with her hands in shock, Yun Qingqing said in a cold voice:
"It was obviously you who deliberately told me that the prince was going to propose to Su Yurou today, saying that he had no choice but to do so, but in fact, he still had me in his heart!"
"Didn't you come up with the idea of throwing yourself into the river to threaten the prince with death? You also said that this would surely change the prince's mind!"
"Huh? You're worried about me? I think you're worried that I won't die completely and my reputation won't be ruined!"
In the main seat, Old Man Yun, who had been silent and gloomy, looked at Yun Bailian with a sharp look in his eyes after hearing these words:
"Is what she said true?"
Yun Bailian immediately burst into tears of grievance:
"How could I possibly do such a thing? I don't know how I offended my sister that she would frame me like this..."
"That's right! Everyone has always seen what kind of person we are, Bai Lian!" The Second Madam glared at Yun Qingqing angrily, "I think you are clearly trying to escape punishment..."
Bang!!
Yun Qingqing slapped the second wife in the face again, causing her face to swell up.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Don't think I don't know that it was you who came up with the idea of letting Yun Bailian instigate me! I happened to pass by when you two were discussing in the small room, and I heard it clearly!"
The original owner knew that the mother and daughter had bad intentions, but she was about to settle things with Xiao Zirui in person, so she took advantage of the situation and left. She had planned to cancel the engagement and then confess to her grandfather after returning, but she didn't expect to lose her life.
"You, you dare to attack your elders, this is simply outrageous!" Yun Zhiping didn't expect Yun Qingqing to be so bold, and he was furious.
Bang!!!
Yun Qingqing turned around and slapped Yun Zhiping in the face!
"And you! You're disrespectful to your elders and have allowed your wife and daughter to bully us widows and orphans for so many years. Just because my mother doesn't mind doesn't mean I don't mind!"
"Have you forgotten that the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan was earned by my father with his life!"
"You're lying on my father's corpse, enjoying the benefits, and you're also trying to suck the marrow out of us, mother and daughter. You've been eating and drinking from us for so many years, how dare you act like an elder here!"
"I'm asking you, where did my father's pension and my mother's salary as a first-rank lady go?"
Yun Zhiping had never expected that Yun Qingqing, who had always been quiet and introverted, seemed like a different person. She actually brought up so many old things in public. His old face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
After Yun Qingqing slapped him three times, she felt her chest lighten. The heavy resentment that the original owner had felt since crossing over was much relieved.
It was worth her spending so much time and energy to draw a fortune before entering the room. Today, there are no taboos. It’s a good time to bring up old grudges and slap people in the face!
It feels good.
It was the Second Madam who reacted first, stretching her neck and saying:
"Stop changing the subject. We're talking about the embarrassing things you did today. You deserve an explanation!"
"You clearly did it all yourself, blocking the prince in public and throwing yourself into the river to force a marriage. Yet you insist on saying someone else instigated you. Did someone threaten you with a knife and force you to jump into the river?"
Yun Qingqing glared at the Second Madam, scaring her so much that she shrank back, fearing another slap in the face.
Yun Zhiping also came back to his senses, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
It seems that the girl's previous cowardice was all an illusion. Now that she feels that she has grown strong enough, she actually wants to ride on my head!
He said sternly:
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules! Yun Qingqing, you only care about yourself and have brought disgrace upon the Yun family in front of the entire city. This is a fact!"
"Your father passed away early. As the elder, what's wrong with me taking charge of his education and managing his estate? Your mother didn't say anything, so why should you make a comment?"
"Today, you actually attacked your elders. This is treason and you deserve severe punishment! Today, I will use the family law to discipline you on behalf of your father, so that you won't make a big mistake in the future that will bring disaster to the entire family!"
Listening to his confident words, Yun Qingqing's hands started to itch again.
