Chapter 72 The Yun Family Steals the Carriage? Throwing People Off the Carriage
The carriage belonging to the Yun family was mostly filled with men. Among the women, Madam Yun, Madam Wang, and Aunt Chen were on board, but other men from the Yun family did not.
Originally, Aunt Chen was not allowed to ride in the carriage, but Yun Xiuwen pulled her up, and only then did the others dare not say anything.
They dared not, but the Wang family did.
This is the carriage that her daughter prepared for the Yun family. Why should this wretched person ride in it?
She was only fit to walk, to walk until her feet were worn out and to die on the road to exile.
Wang said, "Master, what right does Chen, a mere lowly concubine, have to get on the carriage? Get her off immediately and let someone else on."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen immediately grabbed Yun Xiuwen's arm and said coquettishly, "Master, my legs hurt, my back aches, and I really can't walk anymore. My face is already red from the sun, and if it stays in the sun any longer, it will turn as black as the bottom of a pot. What will I do if I become ugly?"
She was a weak woman, helpless and without any special skills; her beauty was her only means of survival.
Yun Xiuwen couldn't bear to see his beloved concubine suffer from walking, so he said to Wang Shi, "If she can't walk anymore, let her ride in the carriage. It's good for a man to walk more to stay healthy."
"Master is also a man. Why don't you take your concubines down to exercise and give your position to someone else?"
Madam Yun, who was resting with her eyes closed in the carriage, suddenly opened them, her sharp gaze falling on the two points. "Chen, get out!"
“Xiuwen, you are really confused. How can a lowly concubine with nowhere to go compare to the sons of our Yun family? They are the future of the Yun family and the hope of the Marquis’s mansion.”
Since his mother had spoken, Yun Xiuwen dared not refute her. Aunt Chen got off the carriage crying.
Those members of the Third Prince's faction were extremely jealous when they saw the Yun family members get into the carriage.
Before getting into the carriage, Yun Xiuwen deliberately boasted that he had given birth to a good daughter, that his daughter was promising, and that he would never have to walk again, but could comfortably ride in a carriage...
Especially the Shen family and the Duan family. The Shen family was furious. They were relatives of the Third Prince. Why didn't they prepare an extra carriage for them?
It's so unfair to only prepare for the Yun family; the Shen family was also implicated because of him!
The third prince walked to the carriages and saw that both carriages were full of people, and his face darkened.
"Who let you onto the carriage? Get off, all of you!"
Yun Xiuwen and the others sat in the carriage to rest, and their mood immediately relaxed.
No more walking, that's great! Suddenly I heard this roar and was instantly jolted awake.
Sitting in another carriage, Yun Jiaoyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What was going on? Could it be that the carriage wasn't prepared for the Yun family, but for someone else?
At this moment, Yun Zhaoxue pushed all her things over, followed by the Xiao family members.
She feigned ignorance and asked, "Third cousin, what's going on? Didn't you say the car was for us?"
What happened?
The Third Prince didn't know what was going on either, but said, "I'll have them come down right away."
A horrifying gaze fell upon Yun Jiaoyue, who emerged from the carriage behind.
Yun Jiaoyue's heart skipped a beat when she met his murderous gaze.
Why did he prefer to give the carriage to Yun Zhaoxue rather than to her family?
Words spoken are like water spilled; now, to tell the Yun family to get off the carriage, or to use the word "get out," where does that leave her face?
Isn't this embarrassing for her?
Why doesn't he think about himself at all?
She stepped forward and tried to communicate with the Third Prince, her voice soft and delicate, "Your Highness, my grandmother is very old, could you perhaps..."
The Third Prince turned his head slightly, closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, raised his hand to stop her from saying anything more, and said impatiently, "I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Tell them to get down here right now!"
Yun Jiaoyue stood there biting her lip, her eyes reddening with grievance; she couldn't bring herself to say it.
The Yun family did not move. They felt that the Third Prince owed them this, so why shouldn't they be allowed to ride in the carriage, and why should the carriage be given to that wretched girl Yun Zhaoxue?
They wouldn't budge, dragging their heavy chains wearily along the road, with the escorts whipping them from behind. They couldn't endure the hardship and insisted on traveling by carriage.
Yun Xiuwen said, "Your Highness, our Yue'er is your Third Prince's Consort, and we are your parents-in-law. We should ride in the carriage. We are already exhausted. If we are made to continue walking, we will die of exhaustion on the road."
Madam Wang turned her anger towards Yun Zhaoxue, saying, "Yun Zhaoxue, it's one thing to not let the carriage out to push your grandmother, but you even tried to steal my carriage! The old lady is your grandmother, and the Marquis is your father. They are old, and by driving them off, you are taking their lives. You are a murderer!"
The word "filial piety" is enough to crush a person. If someone kills his own grandmother and father, he will be drowned in the spittle of the world.
"Don't try to pin this on me. My third cousin said the carriage was prepared for me, but you guys are still shamelessly hogging it and refusing to get off. Are you the only ones who will work themselves to death? Aren't the others going to work themselves to death?"
"Third cousin, are you kidding us? We've already let others ride in the carriage, and now we have to go through all the trouble of moving our things over here."
The third prince roared, "Guards, throw them down!"
Several guards stepped forward, and some of the more timid members of the Yun family immediately got out of the carriage.
Yun Xiuwen, Madam Wang, and Old Madam Yun were still lingering in the carriage. As they were the Third Prince's elders, the guards dared not touch them.
The guards only obeyed their master's orders and didn't care about their status. They told the guards to get off the carriage once, but the three men remained seated. They then entered the carriage and dragged the guards down.
Old Madam Yun and Madam Wang were both thrown down.
Yun Xiuwen clung to the edge of the car window, "I'm not getting off, we'll get on first, it's ours..."
Yun Zhaoxue happened to be standing near the car window, using her body as cover so that Xiao Xuance could remove the axle that had been inserted into the hole at the end of the axle from the outside of the wheel.
Without the axle to "lock" the wheels to the axle, if the carriage travels too fast, the wheels will come off and the people inside will be thrown out.
They didn't plan to take this car, but seeing others ride in it while they walked so miserably would make them very unhappy.
Everyone was so engrossed in the farce that no one noticed their underhanded antics.
The guards threw Yun Xiuwen out of the carriage.
"Bang!"
He lay on the ground groaning, "Ouch, ouch..."
He hadn't expected the Third Prince to be so heartless. Since he was ruthless, he shouldn't blame him for being ungrateful. "Third Prince, our Yun family was implicated and exiled because of you. This is what you owe our Yun family..."
Yun Jiaoyue felt ashamed and burst into tears in her maid's arms. When she heard Yun Xiuwen's words, she was so frightened that she lost her soul and looked terrified, as if she had seen a ghost.
What's the point of saying all this now? It will only offend the Third Prince.
She told them to be patient, that the Third Prince would ascend the throne in a day and they would have a good life, so why wouldn't they listen?
She's caught between her parents' family and her husband's family; she's caught in the middle. How is she supposed to live like this in the future?
The Third Prince's face turned pale and then red.
Upon seeing this, Wang felt dizzy and as if the sky had collapsed. She remembered that her daughter had secretly told her that the Third Prince would one day sit in that position, and that she should not tell anyone else.
She had to find a way to salvage the situation, so she quickly changed the subject, "Yun Zhaoxue, did you seduce the Third Prince and get him to buy you a carriage? You sold yourself and even brought your whole family along. Shameless! Your whole family is shameless..."
Yun Zhaoxue felt an urge to hit someone.
Wang was on guard and raised her hand the moment she rushed over.
Yun Zhaoxue tilted her head slightly and ducked to avoid it.
Wang used too much force and spun half a circle in place before losing her balance.
Yun Zhaoxue grabbed her by the collar and quickly slapped her twice, "Slap! Slap!!"
The final slap sent Wang spinning halfway around before she collapsed to the ground.
"ah!--"
"Mother, mother..."
Yun Yanzhe's eyes reddened, and he clenched his fist and charged at her, "If you dare to hit my mother, I'll fight you to the death."
"Bang!"
A pebble struck his pressure point, freezing him in place and rendering him unable to move.
Yun Zhaoxue said to Wang Shi, "Shameless! Who can compare to you in shamelessness? Your affair with the steward is known throughout the city, and your children might not even be Yun family heirs."
Wang's expression changed slightly, and she retorted in a shrill voice, "You're talking nonsense! You're not a member of the Yun family!"
Yun Zhaoxue said, "I hope I'm not. Don't feel guilty, it's okay. Master Yun doesn't mind if you cheat on her, and he probably doesn't care whether the child is his or not."
Yun Xiuwen's suspicious gaze swept over his children. His eldest son resembled him, his eldest daughter resembled Wang Shi, and his youngest son...
It doesn't look like him much; those small eyes bear a resemblance to that damned adulterer.
Could it be that he really isn't his child?
Xiao Xuance walked to Yun Zhaoxue's side, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away. "Come back with me!"
Yun Zhaoxue said, "If I don't want to sit, I won't. It's better not to sit in a carriage than to be criticized for it."
Fight and scramble, whoever gets on the bus is doomed.
