"Hold back?" Pei Zhi's eyes flashed with doubt upon hearing this. "Father, is there something you're hiding from me?"
“Azhi, these are chaotic times. Even if we want to take action, you must tell your father what to do if we make things worse and make the Pei family the target.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi's doubts disappeared. "So that's how it is, Father. It was my oversight."
After saying that, Pei Zhi, without suspecting anything, continued talking to Pei Jian about other things.
On the other side.
After finalizing their plan, Qin Zheng and Gong Liusheng left Lingping. As they left, Qin Zheng glanced at Gong Liusheng beside him and said, "I still want to remind you, the Yun family's daughter..."
"Brother Qin, I know what I'm doing."
Gong Liusheng twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's true that the Gong family values offspring, but there's still no news about my sister-in-law's belly. It's highly likely that she can't have any more children."
Qin Zheng fell silent upon hearing this, his dark eyes fixed on Gong Liusheng.
"So there's no need to worry about my sister-in-law. Besides, now that she's married into the Gong family, she's a member of the Gong family."
A few breaths later, Qin Zheng slowly exhaled. He decided to trust Gong Liusheng this once.
"good."
Next, rumors about the Yun family spread rapidly. The Fengshan incident, and even everything that Dayu claimed to be related to aristocratic families, were all attributed to the Yun family.
Suddenly, many self-proclaimed righteous people appeared in Luoming, surrounding the Yun family's residence completely.
“Patriarch, there are many highly skilled martial artists outside. They probably want your life and then pin all those things on the Yun family.”
Yun Hui sat in the study with a serious expression, while the noise outside made everyone feel inexplicably restless.
"Among those people, there must be members of several other aristocratic families. For now, I urge the patriarch to leave through the secret passage as soon as possible."
"But Yunfu has so many people, do you expect me to abandon them all?"
Yun Hui quickly picked up her pen and wrote a letter. Since they had forced the Yun family to this point, then they shouldn't blame the Yun family for a final counterattack...
“Luoming has troops stationed with Dayu, so I’m safe as long as I stay in the Yun residence. Go quickly and deliver this letter to the Dayu soldiers, asking them to present it to the Empress Dowager in the capital. Be sure to hurry.” Yun Hui’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “I’m not worried about Mo’er’s safety, but what about Yun Wei…”
The Yun family is involved in these matters, but it wasn't just their doing.
Since the Gong family was involved in planning this, it means they didn't consider Yunwei's feelings.
......
The Gong family.
"The eldest young mistress's family could actually do such things; aren't they afraid of harming their descendants' fortunes?"
"No wonder the eldest young mistress has been unable to conceive. She had a miscarriage after finally getting pregnant before, and she hasn't gotten pregnant since."
Hearing the whispers of the servants behind the artificial hill, Yunwei slowly stopped in her tracks.
"What are you talking about!"
Upon hearing Yun Wei's voice, the two maids emerged tremblingly from behind the artificial hill. "Young Madam, we didn't say anything, we didn't say anything..."
"You didn't say anything? Then just sell them off. You're ruining my mood."
Yun Wei spoke casually, as if crushing two ants.
"Young Madam, spare my life! Young Madam, spare my life..."
"If you want me to let you go, you'd better tell me honestly what happened." Yun Wei curled the corners of her lips. "Don't worry, no one will know that it was the two of you who told me."
Fifteen minutes later, Yunwei returned to the courtyard with a blank expression.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that Gong Liuming returned to the courtyard. "Wei'er, what delicious food did the kitchen prepare tonight?"
Looking at her husband, who had a smiling face and showed no signs of distress, Yunwei felt a piece of her heart suddenly break.
"I don't have much of an appetite today, my husband. I want to eat Luoming's peach shortbread."
"If you want to eat this, I'll send someone to Luoming tomorrow to buy some especially for you." Gong Liuming put his arm around Yunwei's waist and then sniffed the fragrance on her neck. "Why doesn't my wife have her usual floral scent today?"
No flowers were picked today.
After the meal, Gong Liuming, as usual, lay on top of her and said, "Madam, we need to have a child soon."
Yun Wei, who always went along with Gong Liuming, put her hand in front of her and said, "I'm not feeling well tonight, let's do it another day."
"But is something on your mind, Madam?"
Gong Liuming finally realized that something was wrong with Yun Wei, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"I want to go back to Luoming."
By candlelight, Yun Wei gazed into Gong Liuming's eyes. "I'm really worried about Yun Hui managing the entire Yun family in Luoming all by herself."
"Furthermore, Yun Hui will get married sooner or later. If she can manage the Yun family, why can't I?" Yun Wei suppressed her discomfort and spoke again, "Husband, we should also have a share in the Yun family."
In order to persuade Gong Liuming to let her return to the Yun family, she thought for a long time before coming up with this excuse.
Gong Liuming paused upon hearing this, "Madam, you may not know... something has happened to the Yun family..."
"Wouldn't it be better if there were a rebellion? The more chaotic it is, the more real power I can gain."
......
"Slap—slap—slap—"
In the Imperial Garden, Jiang Yu couldn't help but applaud.
"If these powerful families were to fight each other, it would be far more exciting than anything in a storybook." Jiang Yu's eyes were full of sarcasm. "You think we'd all believe you just because you're pushing all the blame onto the Yun family?"
"What Mother says is true. These noble families may appear to be refined and cultured, but in reality, they are even more shameless than some bandits."
Gu Qingyan felt quite unwell when he thought about the tunnel conditions reported from various places.
Gu Qingyan was so proud of the fact that so many tunnels had been dug beneath the Great Yu territory that he almost wanted to personally take up a sword and chop down these powerful families.
"Mother, I now feel that eliminating these powerful families is to rid the people of a scourge."
Jiang Yu chuckled at Gu Qingyan's expression, but the next second her face changed and she started gagging.
"Yingzhi, go quickly and call Mei Chu!"
When Mei Chu arrived, Jiang Yu was still vomiting. He was relieved after checking Jiang Yu's pulse again.
"Your Majesty's morning sickness is normal. She is already two months pregnant, so it's common for her to experience morning sickness."
Granny Ling brought over a plate of pastries, and Jiang Yu quickly waved her hand, "Granny, quickly take all of these away."
It seemed like it couldn't stand the smell of anything.
"Ayan, don't... ugh... worry, it was the same when I was pregnant with you."
Jiang Yu vomited until tears welled up in her eyes, but her hands remained pressed tightly against her stomach.
Morning sickness was unpleasant, but it was also the first time she directly felt the presence of her child.
