Chapter 197 Being Targeted



Then Lin Xiaomei asked, "Dr. Lü, what should we do?"

"We need to remove this layer of damp soil from the ground, then burn a few fires in the house to warm it up, and then dig up some dry soil, mix it with some quicklime, and spread it on top. When the chickens and ducks are sick, we need to feed them cooked food."

As Dr. Lü was about to leave, Lin Xiaomei chased after him, thanking him repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Dr. Lü!"

Seemingly still worried, Doctor Lü stopped again, his face grave, and said, "The sick and dead chickens and ducks need to be buried somewhere; their meat cannot be eaten."

"What would happen if a person ate it?"

"Of course, one will get sick."

Lin Xiaomei slapped her forehead and ran towards the canteen, "Oh dear, I'm going to the canteen to get it from Aunt Zhang."

Seeing this, Doctor Lü shook his head and walked back with his hands behind his back.

Lin Yinan was worried, so she specifically instructed Lin Fu, "Afu, go and check on her. Make sure your aunt doesn't cook the chickens and ducks that died of disease. Explain the situation to her."

"Okay, miss." Lin Fu replied and walked quickly toward the dining hall.

Lin Yinan and Qianxia had just stepped into the county government office when Lin Fu returned.

He and Lin Xiaomei arrived just in time; Zhang had already boiled water and was preparing to remove the hair. Fortunately, they found Doctor Lü, which averted a disaster.

It seems I'll have to educate everyone about hygiene and safety later. Lin Yinan made a mental note of this.

Yunzhou Prefecture.

After finishing their business, Yun Er took Yun Yu to a restaurant for a nice meal. However, before they even reached the restaurant, they were stopped by two women with maids and servants.

"You two, stop right there!"

Yun Er's eyes quickly swept over the two people, and one of them looked very familiar. His mind raced.

As if remembering something, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "So it was you!"

One of them was dressed in a bright pink dress embroidered with vibrant flowers, her hair adorned with gleaming gold hairpins, the heavy ornaments making her neck jut forward. She wore four or five large gold bracelets on both wrists, as if afraid others wouldn't know she was very wealthy.

It was Yu Qiutao who was brought into the Yu family as a concubine.

The other woman's attire was equally impressive. Although her clothes lacked bright flowers, they were still vibrantly colored, making her already round figure appear even more voluptuous. Her hairpins were mostly made of pearls and agates, and more than half of her ten chubby fingers were adorned with rings. She was none other than Yu Xunmei, the eldest daughter of the Yu family.

"Oh, it's been a long time!" Yu Qiutao looked at Yun Er with a provocative glint in her eyes.

At this moment, Yu Xunmei was staring intently at Yun Er. Upon hearing this, she turned to Lin Qiutao and asked with eager eyes, "Do you two know each other?"

Yun Er got goosebumps from her gaze and glanced coldly at Yu Qiutao, "I'm not familiar with you."

"Of course we're not familiar with him! He's just a servant of the Yun family. If Miss likes him, she can just go to the Yun family and ask for him. He's just a servant, I don't think the Yun family would refuse to give the Yu family that much face."

Yu Qiutao covered her mouth and giggled obsequiously, her laughter grating, sounding just like an old hen that had just laid an egg.

"Is that really true!" Yu Xunmei raised an eyebrow, her eyes, which were squeezed into slits by the fat on her face, sparkling.

Yunyu grew up in Yunzhou Prefecture and knew the personality of this eldest daughter of the Yu family. Not only was she arrogant and domineering from a young age, but she also kept male concubines in her boudoir before she even came of age.

When she was younger, she knew to be more discreet, but as she grew older, she became increasingly unrestrained and dissolute. If she saw a man she liked on the street, she would do anything to get him back.

If you encounter someone with a strong personality, they will be beaten or maimed at best, and tortured to death at worst, and then thrown into a mass grave.

“Miss Yu, please don’t believe these slanderous words. This young master is not one of our servants,” Yun Yu hurriedly explained.

Yu Xunmei glanced at him sideways and said sarcastically, "You, a son born of a concubine, dare to speak to me?"

Yun Yu choked, her face turning red with anger.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiutao, who was standing to the side, lowered her eyes and quietly placed her hand on her abdomen, a fleeting glint of calculation in her eyes.

Yun Er felt extremely disgusted by Yu Xunmei's blatant gaze, and pulled Yun Yu away.

He had seen the world's splendor; how could he possibly be interested in such a dissolute woman?

After sitting down in the private room of the restaurant, Yunyu finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Yun Er, Yu Xunmei has taken a liking to you, and she won't let this go easily."

Yun Er poured him some tea, saying, "If she has the guts, let her come at me. I want to see what tricks she can pull."

“The Yu family is powerful now, so it’s best if we don’t confront them directly. I’ll tell my father to hurry up and prepare the goods we need so we can go back as soon as possible.”

"Alright."

Yun Er outwardly agreed, but inwardly he was thinking that if that Miss Yu came to provoke him again, he would definitely not show any mercy.

When the two returned to the Yun residence, the steward took them to Yun Zhenchuan's study.

Looking at Yun Er, who was tall, handsome and dashing.

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Yun Zhenchuan said in a deep voice, "Two more batches of goods will arrive at the manor outside the city the day after tomorrow. I have already informed them that the goods do not need to enter the city. You can go directly to the manor to meet them. Go back as soon as possible."

"Father, has someone from the Yu family come?" Yunyu asked.

Yun Zhenchuan glanced at him and said, "I will handle this matter myself." Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I heard that a school has opened over there. When you go, take your wife and children with you and let Madam An take care of you."

"yes."

Although life in Longtan County was hard, people lived happily. After hesitating for a long time, Yunyu finally mustered up his courage and said, "Father, why don't I bring my aunt to Longtan and let her keep an eye on Yun Kang?"

"Crack!" A teacup shattered at Yun Yu's feet, splashing tea onto his robes. He instinctively took two steps back.
