"Young Master, Madam asked this old servant to remind you not to forget what you are supposed to do on this trip."
Hearing the old woman's words, Gong Liusheng in the carriage felt a little annoyed. "I know."
Fearing that Gong Liusheng might be soft-hearted towards Gong Liuming, Madam Gong specially sent one of her trusted servants to follow Gong Liuming.
“This old servant knows that the young master values relationships most, but young master, have you forgotten what happened a few months ago?” the old woman continued, and this time Gong Liusheng did not stop her.
"Young Master fell ill upon returning to the manor because Da Yu only wants legitimate offspring. What does this mean?" Seeing that Gong Liusheng's attitude had softened, the nanny quickly pressed on, "This means that Young Master is bothered by his status as an illegitimate child, and he wants to compete with you for it."
"My brother isn't that kind of person."
Gong Liusheng spoke calmly, but anyone could hear the coldness in his words.
Seeing this, the old woman said no more. She had already achieved her goal and was just waiting for the young master to take over the Yun family and truly seize power after arriving in Luoming.
That way, the lady can rest assured.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Gong Liusheng's carriage entered Luoming, it was surrounded by a swarm of Dayu soldiers.
"Who are you? Is the person in the carriage the young master of the Gong family?"
"What? In our Dayu, we don't recognize any young master of the Gong family. What are you up to by coming to Luoming at this time? Don't think we roughnecks don't know. Men, take him away."
Upon hearing this, Gong Liusheng hurriedly stepped out of the carriage. "Aren't you afraid of going against the Yun family? Luoming is extremely far from your capital, and my elder brother controls the Yun family. Don't be so presumptuous!"
"Who told you that Gong Liuming has control of the Yun family?"
A woman's voice rang out, and Gong Liuming's eyes narrowed sharply when he saw who it was.
Bai Qian smirked and said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Gong Liusheng, the young master of the Gong family, take him away."
Half an hour later.
Bai Qian looked at Yun Wei in front of her and said softly, "We have captured Gong Liusheng. None of his entourage has been captured, and all the Gong family's spies in Luoming City have also been caught."
"Thank you for your hard work, General Bai."
Bai Qian sighed almost imperceptibly upon hearing this, "Yun Wei, we've shut down all communication. Both of the Gong family's sons are in Luoming. Once they realize something's wrong, they're likely to fight with all their might, and then Luoming will be in danger."
“So…” Yun Wei then looked up at Bai Qian, but those completely calm eyes still made Bai Qian tremble, just like… the eyes of a seventy or eighty-year-old woman.
“You and Yunhui both need to leave Luoming first.” Bai Qian avoided Yunwei’s gaze. “We will arrange for you to come back after you have settled down in Luoming.”
"No, I want to see the Gong family fall with my own eyes."
Yunwei lowered her head again. "I appreciate your kindness, but let Second Sister leave Luoming for now."
"this......"
"General Bai, I heard you have a lovely daughter?" Yun Wei's gaze softened when she mentioned the child. "And she looks almost exactly like the Empress Dowager of Dayu."
"Yes, her name is Jiang Yao, and her nickname is Yao Yao."
Bai Qian sat down directly. "At that time, we couldn't find the Empress Dowager, so we thought that she must be in some deserted place. That's why we came up with the name Yaoyao, hoping to find her."
"That's wonderful," Yun Wei exclaimed sincerely. "General Bai, please take Gong Liuming with you later as well."
......
Inside the secret prison in Luoming City, brothers Gong Liuming and Gong Liusheng were imprisoned in the same cell.
"Big brother, big brother, what happened to you?"
Gong Liusheng looked at Gong Liuming lying on the ground like a lump of mud, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
"I was poisoned by Yunwei, and the letter you saw was also written by Yunwei imitating my handwriting. We were all tricked by her." Gong Liuming said bitterly, thinking that he still had so many things to do, but he was ruined by the person closest to him.
"How could this happen? My sister-in-law..."
Gong Liusheng felt a chill run down her spine after realizing her predicament. "What should we do... The outside is full of people from Dayu, and the Bai family has also come."
"We were outmaneuvered by Da Yu."
After a moment of silence, Gong Liuming slowly spoke, "Now it seems that Yun Wei has long been in cahoots with Da Yu."
"Now that things have come to this, we can only wait for our father and grandmother to rescue us. They won't abandon us."
Upon hearing this, Gong Liusheng finally found some support, "Yes, yes, the Gong family will not abandon us."
While the two brothers were clinging to their last straw, the Gong family began to panic after receiving no news.
"Mother, something's not right."
The head of the Gong family was sweating slightly. "Sheng'er seems to have completely disappeared after arriving in Luoming. And Ming'er, none of the spies we planted in Luoming have sent back any news."
Overnight, it was as if all these people had...lost contact.
This feeling instilled some fear in the head of the Gong family.
“You’re right.” Old Madam Gong’s slanted eyes looked somewhat frightening. “Both of the men in our Gong family are in Luoming. Now that I think about it, we’ve actually been led by the nose by the Yun family all along.”
"Mother!"
"Was Yun Hui really poisoned? Did Yun Wei really succeed?"
Having seen countless things in life, Madam Gong quickly realized, "If Yunwei wasn't on our side from the beginning, then Sheng'er and Ming'er are in danger."
"Yun Wei is colluding with Da Yu!"
The head of the Gong family stood up angrily from his chair. "I'll write to the other families right now and we'll go to Luoming together to rescue Sheng'er and Ming'er."
"Alas, it's our own fault for trusting Yunwei too much. They won't help us." Old Madam Gong sighed. "But we must help the Pei family. If Pei Jian hadn't told us the time was right, we wouldn't have taken action now."
"I understand, child."
The same news also reached Pei Jian's ears.
Pei Jian was no longer as carefree as he had been a few days ago; his face was now covered in stubble.
"Something happened to the Yun family too?"
Pei Jian's temples throbbed, and the booklet unfolding before him made his pupils bloodshot. "This must have been done by Da Yu!"
"They've destroyed my businesses and deliberately caused trouble for the Yun and Gong families. Da Yu is indeed a formidable opponent."
The anger surrounding Pei Jian made everyone in the study afraid to speak, lest they say something wrong and offend him.
"Master, a letter from the Gong family."
"read."
Upon hearing the contents of the letter, Pei Jian's face turned even uglier. "Shameless! Utterly shameless!"
If he hadn't stopped the Gong family back then, the Gong family would have died even faster than they have now.
But now the Gong family is blaming Pei Jian for the current situation, which is utterly shameless.
