Chapter 17 Warning
After Yun Zheng was reborn, she has always been very calm, calm in quarrels, calm in battles, and calm in tests.
But the moment she saw her parents, grievances surged into her heart like a tide, and her eyes turned red.
She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, Mom, my unfilial daughter is back."
She hasn't seen her parents for ten years and really misses them.
The Yun couple were heartbroken. This was their precious daughter, the one they had held in their hands and cherished since birth. She was a lively and cheerful little girl who loved to laugh and make noises. They had never seen her cry like this before.
Yunmu's heart was broken. She hugged her daughter tightly and the mother and daughter cried together.
Father Yun was watching from the side, his eyes also moistened. Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
This is his only daughter. He is afraid that she will melt if he holds her in his mouth, and afraid that she will fall if he holds her in his hands. She has suffered such a great injustice, but he can do nothing about it.
"Don't cry, take care of yourself."
Yun Zheng cried for a while, and all the depression in her heart disappeared, and she felt much better.
The maid brought a basin of water and a towel. Yun's mother wiped her daughter's face, and Yun's father brought a boiling egg to cover his daughter's eyes.
Feeling the deep love of her parents, Yun Zheng's heart calmed down at once, and she secretly vowed that no matter what, she would protect her parents and never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again.
"Dad, I didn't suffer any loss, and the Marquis' Mansion didn't take any advantage."
Father Yun looked at his daughter's slightly swollen eyes and felt heartbroken. "Zheng'er, what happened?"
The Marquis' Mansion kept silent, but news still came out. By the time he found out, it was already late at night and there was no curfew, so he and his wife were so worried that they didn't sleep all night.
Yun Zheng did not hide anything. At this time, she could not only report the good news but also the bad news. She had to let her parents know the truth so that they would not be deceived.
After hearing this, Yunmu was so angry that she trembled all over. "Damn it, the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion is deliberately deceiving people into marriage. It's really too much."
How did they manage to have two wives on the day of their wedding?
Father Yun's face turned pale. "It's not just a marriage scam, it's an attempt to wipe out the whole family."
Like a bucket of cold water being poured down, Yunmu's heart sank. "The Marquis' Mansion is so powerful, and we're just merchants. How can we be their opponent? How can we protect Zheng'er?"
The mansion of the marquis is as deep as the sea, and its power is overwhelming. How can my daughter be their opponent alone?
Yun's father was extremely upset. If the people don't fight against the officials, they will not be able to win.
He looked at his daughter and felt a pain in his heart. She had been forced to mature overnight and her temperament was different.
Only after experiencing great changes and hardships can people grow rapidly.
"Zheng'er, what do you think?"
Yun Zheng gave him a deep look and said, "Dad, I plan to come out of retirement and make the Yun family prosperous and a treasure that everyone covets. Then, we will strive to become the Imperial Merchant..."
Money is worthless in the face of power. A county magistrate can destroy a large family.
A child carrying gold in a busy city, without power to support it, huge wealth will only attract jackals.
When these words were spoken, the Yun couple looked stunned. Was this going to join the royal family?
Yun Zhanpeng looked at his beloved daughter with mixed feelings. How could this not be a man? "Zheng'er, trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire is very dangerous."
Yun Zheng was trapped in the backyard for ten years. She reviewed the situation countless times and tried to escape countless times, but she never gave in.
"I know, but the Marquis' Mansion wants more than just wealth. It also wants the lives of our Yun family."
The Yun family couple's expressions changed drastically. "What did you say?"
Yun Zheng knew that her parents had an instinctive fear of the Marquis' Mansion. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, merchants were ranked last, and there was a huge gap in their status.
"Father, I had a nightmare last night. In the dream..."
She didn't say it was her previous life, but she used a dream to tell about her experiences in her previous life.
At first, the couple didn't take it too seriously, but as their daughter described the situation immersively, they were drawn into the situation and their expressions gradually became nervous.
Hearing that her daughter was exploited, drugged, and thrown into a mass grave, Yunmu could no longer bear it and completely collapsed.
Yun Zhanpeng's heart sank. "What about us? Why didn't we stand up for you?"
In the daughter's dream, neither the husband nor the wife appeared, which was unreasonable.
A trace of pain flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes. "A month later, my father went out on business and was killed by bandits on the road. No trace of his body was found. My mother was heartbroken when she heard the news and hanged herself."
This is a big hatred in her heart, and she must prevent the tragedy from happening.
Yun Zhanpeng clutched his chest, feeling a bit breathless. Was this God using his daughter's dream to warn them? "Who did this?"
Yun Zheng looked at him steadily. "The government's investigation concluded that it was done by horse thieves from Baiyun Mountain. Afterwards, the Pingxi Marquisate, as a relative by marriage, took over all of our Yun family's assets, including..."
She paused, her tone complicated, "In the 20,000 mu of sacrificial land in my hometown in Jiangnan."
So, don't have any more delusions, the two families are destined to fight to the death.
Yun's father was shocked. The sacrificial land is the land used to worship ancestors. It is the foundation of a family and the only way out.
Even if the house is searched, the sacrificial fields will not be confiscated.
The Pingxi Marquisate took it over, but the Yun family was all gone?
Logically speaking, whoever profits the most is the mastermind behind the scenes, so...
His heart sank to the bottom in an instant, as if drowned by the sea, and his palms clenched into fists.
After a long moment, he pulled out a topaz seal from his bosom and handed it to his daughter. "Zheng'er, you've already surpassed me. I trust your judgment. Just do as you wish. We fully support you."
This is the seal of the head of the family. With it, he can command all the businesses under the name of the Yun family and withdraw money from major banks.
He was a smart man. It didn't matter whether the dream was true or not. His daughter and the Marquis's family had come to this point. There was no way they could just let it go peacefully. He could only fight to the death.
When Yun Zheng got the seal, she felt it was heavy and the responsibility was too great.
Everyone knows that Yun Zhanpeng is the richest man in Da Qi, but few people know that Yun Zheng is the manipulator behind the scenes who pushed the Yun family to the top.
Yun Zheng showed amazing business talent since she was young and pestered her father to learn it. Yun Zhanpeng couldn't persuade his beloved daughter, so after making three rules with her, he took his daughter, who was disguised as a boy, to his side and taught her personally.
Yun Zheng could do arithmetic well at the age of three, earned her first pot of gold at the age of eight, could operate independently at the age of ten, and was already controlling the Yun family's business behind the scenes at the age of thirteen, and her wealth had increased several times.
Before she took over, the Yun family was the richest family in Jiangnan. After she took over, in just three years, the Yun family rose to become the richest family in the country.
While Yun's father was happy about this ability, he also felt deeply regretful. Why was it a daughter?
"I regret so much. I shouldn't have been blinded by the power of the Marquis' Mansion. I agreed to their proposal and should have insisted on marrying a son-in-law."
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Our family has been targeted for a long time. We have to agree even if we don't want to. In front of the overwhelming power, we are nothing."
The father and daughter looked at each other, their eyes filled with resentment and ambition.
If you want to live, live well and live more gloriously than anyone else!
Yun Zheng had lunch with her parents, discussed specific matters, and then each of them got busy with their work.
When leaving the Yun family, Yun Zheng was accompanied by ten strong servants. These were the martial arts masters recruited by the Yun family at a great price. They were specifically responsible for guarding the house and protecting Yun's father when he went out to do business.
"Master Cheng, go to Huangjue Temple."
The silver-haired Master Cheng is Yun Zheng's martial arts master. He watched her grow up and thought he would be able to retire after she got married, but he never expected that he would have to protect her for a while.
"Huangjue Temple is in the West Mountain. It takes several hours to walk there. We may not be able to make it back at night. Are you sure?"
Yun Zheng's expression was unclear. "We're going to stay in Huangjue Temple for one night."
Master Cheng was a little worried and advised softly, "Miss, you're married now. It's not good to spend the night outside. I'm afraid the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion will be unhappy."
"It's okay, I have my own way."
Yun Zheng must go there, there is a great opportunity there, she must rush to grab it!
