Chapter 786 It's all over [1 update]
Madam Yu never gave up on finding a marriage partner for Fu Yunshen.
Ever since Ling Yu was removed from his position as administrator, Old Madam Yu has never paid any attention to Ning Ruo.
This does not bring any benefit to the Yu family.
Madam Yu's current target is Shiloh Lenger.
Neither the administrator nor the knight commander was as close as Hilo and the sage.
This is an excellent candidate.
Just then, a waiter respectfully announced, "Madam, Miss Shiloh has arrived."
"Miss Xiluo." Madam Yu immediately put on a smiling face and went to greet her from the other side. "Miss Xiluo, you actually came. It is a great honor for our Yu family."
"You're too kind, Madam." Hilo's attitude remained perfunctory, and she merely nodded slightly. "I'm quite busy with other matters, so I just came to visit and will probably leave in a little while."
"It's already a blessing for us that Miss Xiluo could come." Madam Yu was flattered. "I heard that the election for the head of the family will begin this weekend. The Yu family will definitely give its full support to Miss Xiluo."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss Shiloh, my eldest grandson is a very outstanding person. I will introduce him to Miss Shiloh later."
Hilo smiled, completely unconcerned.
She is a disciple of three sages, why would she take a fancy to a direct descendant of the Jade Clan?
But she didn't say it out loud.
Hilo handed his coat to the waiter beside him, his gaze lingering on it before he suddenly paused.
His steps froze on the spot, and his face turned pale.
Madam Yu immediately became anxious: "Miss Xiluo, has something happened?"
Hilo hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "It's nothing."
When she looked over again, there were no familiar figures there.
Only the guests filed in.
Shiloh finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she seemed to have seen the Sage Moon and the Sage Sun.
It turned out to be an illusion.
How could a wise man possibly come to such a small place in person?
**
On the other side.
The servants sent by Madam Yu to stop Qin Lingyu and her group knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.
"A bunch of idiots." The Fifth Young Master pointed at their noses and cursed, "These are all my friends. Try stopping them and see what happens. You listen to an old woman so much? What, does she think she can run for patriarch?"
The Fifth Young Master understood this very well.
His older brother and sister-in-law's friends are his friends.
It should be treated with great care.
Jiang Ran was about to grab a stick and beat the servants on the head when he was stunned by the Fifth Young Master's move. He turned around and asked, "Who is this idiot?"
Ling Mianxi glanced at him: "How dare you call someone else stupid?"
At that moment, a low, slow voice rang out, languidly laced with a smile.
What are you all doing here?
"Hey, big brother!" The fifth young master's eyes lit up. "The old woman was trying to drive our friends away, but I just taught them a lesson."
Fu Yunshen glanced at her with his peach blossom eyes and understood what was going on: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard at all," the Fifth Young Master said casually. "Big Brother, we're like brothers, let's go together."
Jiang Ran was so jealous he was practically bubbling with envy: "Father Fu, isn't this old woman in the family too good at abusing her power?"
Ying Zijin turned her head: "Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran: "Yes!"
"Don't insult dogs." Ying Zijing bent down and took out a small piece of roasted meat to feed the white Samoyed that the Fifth Young Master kept. "The dog is very cute."
She also reached out and touched the Samoyed's fluffy head.
He seemed to be deep in thought.
Should she buy a dog too, so Dudu can ride it?
Jiang Ran: "..."
"Brother, that old woman has ill intentions, why did you come?" The fifth young master frowned. "I already knew about Uncle Shaoyun's affairs from my parents. That old woman is too hateful."
It can be said that the tragedy of Fu Liuying and Yu Shaoyun was also caused by Old Madam Yu.
"Just have some fun, watch a show." Fu Yunshen gave a faint "hmm," paused, and then added, "By the way, you should read more books."
Fifth Young Master: "?"
"You can't run for patriarch without brains."
"..."
Fu Yunshen turned his head, his eyes softening: "Yaoyao, you should sit with Xuesheng and the others, I'm afraid you might get hurt later."
Ying Zijing, holding the Samoyed's hand, raised an eyebrow: "I'll find the best spot with the best view."
**
Half an hour before the banquet was to begin, the banquet hall was already full of people.
Hilo was seated at the head table, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Is that Miss Shiloh?"
"Why is Miss Hilo here? Could it be that the Sage's Academy is going to marry her off to the Jade family?"
"They are indeed a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Madam Yu was overjoyed to hear this, just as Fu Yunshen entered.
“Yun Shen, this is Miss Xi Luo.” Madam Yu smiled. “As you probably know, Miss Xi Luo is a disciple of the Queens. You are only a few years apart in age, so you should have a lot in common.”
"Since the banquet hasn't started yet, why don't we chat and get to know each other better?"
Fu Yunshen didn't even glance at Xiluo, but walked straight over and sat down at the head of the main table.
Hilo's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, her expression turning somewhat grim.
He's just an ordinary person.
I don't know what they're being so arrogant about.
She didn't care to know him.
Madam Yu was offended and showed her anger.
But thinking about her upcoming plans, she could only force herself to hold back.
She endured it.
Once Fu Yunshen took the magician's pill, he could only let her do as she pleased.
Madam Yu forced a smile and sat down, apologizing to Xiluo: "Miss Xiluo, Yun Shen is a rather arrogant child, please don't mind him."
Hilo snorted but didn't say anything.
At six o'clock sharp, the banquet officially began.
All eyes were on the main table, waiting for Madam Yu to give her speech.
Madam Yu did indeed stand up.
But the next second, she knelt down in front of Fu Yunshen with a "thump".
This move surprised many guests.
"Madam!"
"Isn't today a banquet? Why is the old lady kneeling down? Get up quickly."
Madam Yu remained unmoved and stubbornly insisted: "I have done many wrong things in my life. Today, I will take this opportunity to apologize to my grandson in front of everyone."
Fu Yunshen sat at the head of the table, his slender fingers toying with a silver dinner knife.
He looked at the kneeling Madam Yu with an indifferent expression, devoid of any emotion; his light amber pupils were icy cold.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, this old woman's fault." Madam Yu began to kowtow, her voice choked with sobs, "I shouldn't have looked at people with prejudice and forcibly separated your father and mother, causing an irreparable tragedy."
"It was also my fault for misjudging people and not seeing the true colors of that vile woman, Zhu Sha, which caused you all harm."
Old Madam Yu cried bitterly: "Yun Shen, everyone makes mistakes. Grandma is old and doesn't have much time left to live. Please let me enjoy some happiness while I'm still alive."
“How could someone as kind as you be an enemy of your grandmother? Yun Shen, I beg you…”
The entire banquet hall was filled with the wailing of Old Madam Yu.
However, after a full ten minutes, Madam Yu finally noticed something was wrong.
She stopped and realized that no one was speaking up for her.
Several noblewomen wanted to speak, but when they saw the knife in Fu Yunshen's hand, they swallowed their words.
The scene of Zhu Sha being tried throughout the entire process was too deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Especially what Fu Yunshen said—
"Whoever harms Fu Liuying will suffer the same fate as Zhu Sha."
If a man dares to speak, then he certainly dares to act.
If they dare to speak, they will inevitably become targets of this knife.
Madam Yu stood there, stunned, forgetting even to cry.
Fu Yunshen slammed down the silver knife, raised his chin, and smiled, "Go on, I haven't had enough yet."
Madam Yu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single sound; cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
This was not something she had expected.
What happened?
According to her plan, the guests would now be on her side, urging Fu Yunshen to be magnanimous.
"Finished?" Fu Yunshen slowly turned his head. "Now that you've finished, it's my turn to speak."
He picked up a glass of red wine from the plate: "Drink this glass of wine, and all the grudges between us will be wiped clean."
Upon seeing the glass of red wine, Old Madam Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Yun Shen, Grandma is old, Grandma can't drink alcohol."
She deliberately drugged the wine.
How could she possibly drink it?
Fu Yunshen's actions were truly accidental; he had deliberately chosen this glass of wine.
"Just one glass of wine." Fu Yunshen gently swirled the wine in his glass. "You don't actually want to reconcile with me, do you?"
At this point, the guests began to speak.
"Madam Yu, it's just a cup of wine. Young Master Fu has also reconciled with you. Please drink it."
"That's right, we're family, there's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight. Madam, a drink of wine can make all the past grievances disappear with a smile, isn't that wonderful?"
Old Madam Yu was covered in cold sweat.
She never imagined that she would be the one being forced into this situation.
Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and smiled, "Then please drink it."
"Big brother, I, I, I'm here!" The fifth young master jumped out and walked over with the glass of wine. "Grandma, look, my big brother took the initiative to make up with you, so don't refuse."
He held the glass of red wine to Madam Yu's lips, then suddenly raised his hand and poured the wine down her throat.
Madam Yu was caught off guard.
Upon realizing she had drunk all the wine, she immediately began to gag, her face turning deathly pale.
It's over, she drank the medicine herself, she's doomed!
Fu Yunshen leaned back in his chair, looking languid: "Stand up."
Madam Yu did not want to do this, but her body stood up uncontrollably.
Fu Yunshen: "Kneel down."
Madam Yu knelt down again with a "thud".
Slap yourself.
Madam Yu raised her hand and slapped herself in the face.
"Keep fanning."
Madam Yu began slapping herself repeatedly, unable to stop.
"..."
The guests were all dumbfounded.
Does this old lady of the Yu family have some hidden illness?
Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Sage Magician's talent is indeed worthy of alchemy; a single pill he casually gave to Old Madam Yu was enough to completely control a person.
"Holy crap, that's awesome." Fifth Young Master figured something out. "Big Brother, are you controlling her? Can you make her bark like a dog?"
"It's not impossible," Fu Yunshen said, lifting his eyelids. "Learn to bark like a dog."
Old Madam Yu's face was deathly pale, and blood seeped from her teeth: "Woof woof woof!"
Fu Yunshen said calmly, "Tell me everything."
"I obtained a pill from the magician. This pill can make people obedient." Old Madam Yu gritted her teeth, but her words were clear. "I'm going to give you this pill so that I can control you. You'll have to do whatever I say."
"You're my grandson, and I'm your grandmother. You think you can defy me? No way!"
"I will make you a puppet of the Jade family for life, just like your father!"
"!"
One word can cause a huge uproar.
The guests were all shocked.
They could now clearly see that Madam Yu had put the pill into Fu Yunshen's red wine.
Once she succeeds, Fu Yunshen will become her puppet.
Completely lose the ability to act independently.
"Old woman, you have such a vicious heart!"
"Serves him right, he deserves it."
"But why would the Magician develop such a vicious drug?"
In the residents' minds, sages were gentle and kind, without any flaws.
Upon hearing these words, Shiloh's expression darkened.
The Jade family has nothing to do with her, but the magician is her teacher, and she can't just stand by and watch his reputation be damaged.
Hilo said coldly, "Your Jade family is really something else, resorting to such low-level tricks to smear the Magician's reputation. If I weren't here today, how many people would you have been fooling?"
Fu Yunshen still didn't look at her: "Continue."
Madam Yu's face turned even paler, and she was forced to take out the medicine box.
Above is the unique seal of the Sage Magician.
