Chapter 496: The Evil Feng Shui Bureau
Xiao Changheng had been watching the situation unfold, but when he heard Liu accusing Yun Qingqing of harming others so sharply, he couldn't help but speak in a cold voice:
"How dare you! I am here, how can I allow you to slander the princess like this!"
His voice was so powerful and cold that everyone present, except Yun Qingqing, shuddered to some extent.
Yun Zhiping didn't dare to say anything, but Liu gritted her teeth and said unconvincedly:
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a regent princess? Now our old man in the Yun Mansion has been killed by her. Is the prince going to use his status to pressure others and protect her in front of so many people?"
Xiao Changheng's eyes turned cold, and he was about to speak, but Yun Qingqing raised her hand to stop him.
Suddenly, a man came up from the corner of the room and said:
"The eldest lady didn't harm the old man!"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look. It turned out that it was Aunt Jia who spoke.
She walked up to Yan Jinghua and said:
"When the young lady entered the room, I was watching from the doorway. I noticed something was wrong with the old man, so I moved closer. His face had turned blue, his eyes rolled back, and he was completely motionless. I could clearly see he wasn't even breathing."
"Later, it was the eldest lady who immediately gave him acupuncture and treatment, and the old man finally recovered his breathing and looked much better. If the eldest lady hadn't appeared in time, wouldn't the people in our house have had to wait until evening to discover that the old man was in trouble?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.
Yan Jinghua was even more frightened. She knew very well that what Aunt Jia said was right. If her daughter had not arrived in time, no one would have noticed that the old man had suddenly fallen ill during his lunch break, and by the evening it would be too late to save him!
But Liu didn't buy it at all and said coldly:
"Madam Jia, Old Master Yun treated you very well! You actually lied with your eyes open, helping Yun Qingqing cover up her crime in front of so many people! What are you thinking? What benefits did she give you?"
"Second Madam, how can you say that to me?" Aunt Jia was so angry that her face turned red. In her anxiety, she couldn't say anything to defend herself.
It was Yan Jinghua who immediately spoke up to take charge of the situation:
"Shut up! Qingqing said the old man will wake up in an hour, so let's wait for an hour! If there's anything, wait until the old man wakes up!"
Liu narrowed her eyes and looked at Old Man Yun on the bed, then examined Yun Qingqing and snorted coldly:
"We can wait, but we can't let Yun Qingqing stay with the old man! I can't trust her. What if she takes advantage of us and attacks us again?"
"Stop slandering me!" Yan Jinghua glared at her.
Yun Qingqing had been fiddling with something in her hands. After hearing what Liu said, she suddenly turned around and nodded.
"That's perfect. I have something to tell you all, so let's all go to the yard."
Yan Jinghua was stunned for a moment, then immediately listened to her daughter:
"Okay, let's all go to the yard."
Everyone came to the courtyard, and Yun Qingqing suddenly looked at Liu with a cold gaze:
"Liu, I'm giving you one last chance to confess. Grandpa suddenly fell ill today. Was it you who colluded with outsiders to secretly do this?"
Liu's expression changed, and she shrilly said:
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Everyone saw it. When the old man got into trouble, it was you and the prince who were by his side! Why are you trying to blame me now?"
Yun Qingqing's eyes were cold:
"I gave you a chance."
Seeing her determined expression, Liu felt a little panicked.
But she changed her mind again, calmed down, and shouted confidently:
"Yun Qingqing, it seems to me that you're trying to frame someone after failing to harm them! Didn't you say you could save the old man? Why don't you wait until he wakes up before investigating the cause? Why are you so eager to label me a criminal now?"
"I think you're doing this because you're guilty! You're the culprit who harmed the old man!"
Seeing that she was still framing herself, Yun Qingqing ran out of patience and walked directly to the center of the yard and said loudly:
"The reason Grandpa had a sudden headache and passed away today is because the Yun Mansion's Feng Shui was secretly altered, creating an unlucky Feng Shui situation!"
Everyone gasped when they heard her words.
"Evil Feng Shui Bureau?"
"What is that?"
"Well, never mind what it is, it doesn't sound like a good thing."
Someone else asked hesitantly:
"Miss, what exactly is this Yinsha Fengshui Bureau, and how do you know about it?"
Yun Qingqing pinched her fingers and said without hesitation:
"Did you add a rockery to the backyard and fill in a pond within this month?"
A group of servants were stunned when they heard this and nodded repeatedly.
Yan Jinghua also looked at Yun Qingqing:
"Yes, filling in the pond and adding the rockery were indeed all done this month..."
She turned to look at Yun Zhiping:
"Didn't you hire the people who repaired the yard to do this?"
Yun Zhiping's face panicked and he frowned:
"It's just that when I was renovating the yard, I made some changes to improve the scenery. What does it have to do with the old man's illness? You're forcing it to be a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"
Yun Qingqing glanced at him coldly, then looked at Liu, whose eyes were wandering.
"The Yun Mansion has such a large courtyard, and I even specially adjusted the Feng Shui. It's not that easy to transform it into a super-evil Feng Shui situation!"
She pointed to a corner of the yard:
"Is there a tree that was cut down? It happened this month."
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
It is possible that Miss Yun was able to notice that there was one tree missing in the courtyard because she grew up in Yunfu.
But Yun Qingqing then pointed out five or six detailed changes in the courtyard, including a dry well in a remote corner of the backyard.
A brand new stone statue was placed at the bottom of the well. It was only after everyone listened to Yun Qingqing's words and went to see it that they discovered it. No one had noticed it before.
After Yun Qingqing announced these changes in public, she said in a cold voice:
"A good Feng Shui that would bring good fortune and longevity has turned into a bad Feng Shui because of these deliberate changes! And the first bad eye is right in Grandpa's room!"
"This can't be a coincidence at all. Someone is deliberately trying to harm the entire Yun Mansion!"
Everyone was shocked!
Liu still didn't give up:
"Don't be so hypocritical! You've been married to the palace for so long, and you haven't been in the Yun Mansion, yet you know all these things clearly. How can you say that someone else is trying to harm you? Aren't you the more suspicious one?"
"And you also said that this Feng Shui arrangement would harm the entire Yun Mansion! I also live in the Yun Mansion, why would I do such a thing? If anything were to happen to the Yun Mansion, who would be safe and sound? It would only be you, Yun Qingqing!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her coldly:
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin! Although the changes I just mentioned have created this sinister feng shui situation, to achieve the effect of causing Grandpa's sudden death, another crucial thing is needed!"
She stared into Liu's eyes and said coldly:
"I don't need to tell you what the thing behind the shrine in your room is, right?"
Liu's face turned pale in an instant!
