The Marquis of Dingyuan's residence.
"Madam Hou, did you call me?"
After returning from the palace, Bai Qian went straight to the Marquis's residence and instructed her subordinates to go to the military camp.
After returning to the military camp, Bai Qian sent someone to summon Yun Mo. When Yun Mo arrived, he was followed by a little tagalong.
"Yaoyao, what brings you here?" Bai Qian was both amused and exasperated. "You're five years old now, you'll be a big kid soon, you can't stay with your master all the time."
"Mother, I miss you too."
Jiang Yao poked her little head out from behind Yun Mo, her chubby face puffing up with laughter. "I came with Master because I missed you."
"You're so sweet-talking." Bai Qian didn't expose Jiang Yao's little thoughts, and looked directly at Yun Mo, "Recently, the Marquis and I haven't been in the Marquis's mansion often, so we'll have to trouble you to take care of Yao Yao here."
"Madam, there's no need for thanks. There are already many people in the Marquis's mansion to serve the princess. Even without me, the princess will be fine."
"You're just too straightforward sometimes."
Bai Qian smiled and hugged Jiang Yao who rushed towards her, "Now Yao Yao listens to you the most. She won't make a fuss no matter what you ask her to do."
“Madam Hou, if you must thank me…” Yun Mo raised her face, a rare expression appearing on her face, “just tell me where Gong Liuming is now.”
"Are you going to find Gong Liuming?"
“I have some private matters to discuss with him.” Yunmo’s eyes seemed to carry a sharp edge. “However, Madam, there’s no need to make things difficult for you. If it’s inconvenient to talk about it, I will find another opportunity to ask.”
"I will inform the Emperor and see if he will allow you to see Gong Liuming."
It was rare for the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence to send memorials to the palace, so the memorial appeared on Gu Qingyan's desk in less than half an hour after it entered the palace.
"A memorial submitted by the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence?"
Gu Qingyan asked with some surprise, reaching out to open the memorial. "My uncle is far away in Longyou now, and this is a memorial from my aunt?"
After opening the document, Gu Qingyan said without the slightest hesitation, "Tomorrow you will personally take Yunmo to Gong Liuming's place. Remember, as long as you don't kill Gong Liuming, you can go with Yunmo."
Yingzhi's lips twitched upon hearing this. As long as no one dies? Could someone like Young Master Yun be the kind of person who would kill someone?
However, this time, Yingzhi's conjecture was destined to be completely opposite to the actual situation.
The next day, Yunmo went directly to the place where Gong Liuming was being held.
"Gong Liuming".
A voice suddenly broke the silence, and Gong Liuming, who was lying limply on the bed, turned his head. "Who is it?"
He's been locked up here for so long, and nobody calls him that.
“It’s you.” Gong Liuming’s eyes narrowed after he saw Yun Mo’s face. “Yes, your Yun family submitted to Dayu a long time ago, and you are now living a life of luxury in Dayu.”
Gong Liuming looked Yun Mo up and down, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
I have not come here today to reminisce with you.
Yun Mo slowly approached and walked to Gong Liuming's bedside. A few breaths later, Yun Mo suddenly threw a punch, hitting Gong Liuming in the eye socket.
A scream of agony came from inside the house. Ying Zhi, who was outside, shuddered. Wait, what is Young Master Yun doing in there?
Driven by intense curiosity, Yingzhi went to the window and looked through it to see what was happening inside.
With bloodshot eyes, Yun Mo relentlessly punched Gong Liuming, while Gong Liuming's screams seemed to cheer Yun Mo on.
Yunmo's punches grew increasingly fierce, and blood began to seep from the corner of Gong Liuming's mouth.
"You hit me..."
"I'm going to hit you!" Yun Mo, unusually disregarding all decorum, vented his anger in the most primitive way. "You're partly to blame for my eldest sister's miscarriage, you're partly to blame for the Gong family bullying my eldest sister, and besides, my eldest sister didn't marry into your Gong family to have children for them."
"To continue the family line for one's husband's family is a wife's duty."
Hearing that Gong Liuming still had the energy to argue, Yun Mo became even more ruthless, "Continue the family line? Your Gong family will only end up extinct in your generation."
A quarter of an hour later, Yingzhi could no longer hold back and rushed in, “Young Master Yun, he will die if this continues. The Emperor said that he cannot die at least for now.”
Yunmo was restrained by Yingzhi and struggled for a few moments before regaining his senses.
"Eunuch Yingzhi, I was rude just now. Please thank His Majesty for giving me this opportunity to see Gong Liuming." Yunmo returned to his usual taciturn self, which made Yingzhi stare in disbelief.
After Yunmo left, Yingzhi glanced at Gong Liuming, who was practically just breathing, and gave a wicked smile.
He bullied the older sister, so he deserved to be beaten like this.
"Sometimes, a person's fate hangs in the balance. If you had protected Miss Yun's child back then, would the outcome be different now?"
Yingzhi was used to doing these kinds of hurtful things. After Yingzhi finished speaking, Gong Liuming had already fallen into a coma.
......
Evening, Zhaoning Palace.
"Did Yunmo really knock Gong Liuming unconscious with just one punch after another?"
Upon hearing Gu Qingyan's words, Jiang Yu was so shocked that she forgot to pick up her chopsticks. Looking at Yun Mo from left to right, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
"I didn't believe it at first either, but Yingzhi told me many times. I thought about it and realized that if I were Yunmo, I would have been even more ruthless." Gu Qingyan pursed his lips. "Fortunately, I told Yingzhi in advance to spare Gong Liuming's life, otherwise Gong Liuming would be dead by now."
"Sizzle—"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Ayan is right, Gong Liuming deserves what he got."
"Yunmo has vented his anger, and the matter between the Yun family and the Gong family can be considered to have come to a complete end." Gu Qingyan finished his rice porridge and then picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. "The Qin family now has a close relationship with our Dayu, leaving only the Sun family and the Pei family."
"The Sun family and the Pei family..."
Jiang Yu murmured softly, "Ayan, you've reminded me."
"Mother?"
Jiang Yu tapped the table rhythmically with her hand. "The Pei family is in a critical situation right now. If the Pei family wants to ask for help, they can only ask the Sun family. And the only ones who have the weight to ask the Sun family on behalf of the Pei family are Pei Jian and Pei Ju."
"Is Mother planning to set an ambush at the Sun family?"
"right."
Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, "If the Pei family doesn't go to the Sun family, we'll just be waiting for nothing. But if they do go, we can hold off the Pei family's people and buy time for your uncle and Ling Ku."
"Don't worry, Mother, I will make the arrangements right away."
Watching Gu Qingyan's departing figure, Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, hoping to be able to help her brother and Ling Ku, who hadn't sent any messages to Dayu for a long time.
