Yun Chu smiled, walked over, and sat down next to the old lady.
The old lady immediately placed a bowl of soup in front of her.
Yun Chuwei picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.
He Ning looked at her and asked somewhat nervously, "Is it good?"
Yun Chuwei immediately nodded: "It's delicious! I haven't had such a good soup in a long time!"
Hearing this, He Ning was very happy: "This is specially made for you by your mother. If you like it, I will make it for you again tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mother!" Yun Chu said with a smile, and took another sip.
Seeing this, the old lady smiled and said, "Your mother was worried you wouldn't like it! Come, try these, they were all cooked by your mother herself!"
As she spoke, the old lady picked up some of the dishes from the table and placed them on the plate in front of Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
She nodded repeatedly as she ate one.
"This is delicious!"
"This is delicious too!"
...
Seeing that Yun Chuwei had eaten quite a bit, the old lady finally asked, "What happened to your older brother just now?"
Yun Chuwei didn't hide anything and recounted what had just happened.
The old lady's lips twitched, and she said, "He used to be such a clever child, why has he become increasingly dull lately? Could it be that there's something wrong with my parenting methods?"
He Ning laughed and said, "Mother, don't try to reflect on yourself. He's probably just stupid to begin with!"
The old lady nodded: "That makes sense! Starting tomorrow, have the kitchen stew some pig brains every day to nourish him! So he doesn't get any dumber!"
Yunmo, who had just changed his clothes, happened to hear this.
Yunmo: ...
Standing beside him, Granny Song said, "Why don't you let this old servant do the stewed pig brains? After all, the Marquis gave me such a grand salute; it wouldn't be right for me to do nothing!"
The old lady glanced at Granny Song and Yun Mo beside her, and nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, then let Granny Song do it!"
Yunmo: ...
Just then, the butler rushed over and said to the old lady, "Something terrible has happened! The He family is causing trouble!"
The old lady frowned and asked, "Don't we have nothing to do with them anymore? Why are they causing trouble here?"
The steward began, "The He family says that Yun Fahua went to Jizhou with the young lady, but was driven out of the military camp by her and is now missing. They've even reported it to the authorities, demanding an explanation from the young lady!"
The old lady frowned, looked at Yun Chuwei, and said, "What's wrong with them? Isn't Yun Lianhua with the Crown Prince?"
Yun Chuwei briefly recounted what had happened in Jizhou.
The old lady frowned: "So, the Crown Prince only favored Yun Lianhua because she saved his life? Now that he knows it was you who saved him, he's abandoning Yun Lianhua?"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "That's how it is!"
The old lady immediately flew into a rage: "Then they should go to His Highness the Crown Prince! Why don't they dare to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for their daughter, and instead come to bully us pushovers?"
He Ning also looked displeased.
"It's hilarious that everything is blamed on Weiwei!"
Yunmo walked straight outside, saying, "I'll go deal with them!"
Granny Song immediately grabbed Yunmo and said, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry? Listen to what the young lady has to say!"
The old lady looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Weiwei, how do you want to handle this matter?"
Yun Chu smiled slightly and said, "Then let them see whether we are a pushover or a tough nut to crack!"
The old lady wholeheartedly agreed.
She said, "You're right. They dare to treat us like pushovers, so we'll show them what it means to kick a hornet's nest."
So the group stood up and walked toward the main hall.
Yun Mo walked at the back, watching Yun Chuwei walking forward arm in arm with the old lady, and fell into deep thought.
He seemed to realize where he had gone wrong.
Even Granny Song knew that there were some things that required consulting her younger sister's opinion, but he didn't.
He's too arrogant.
It seems that from now on, no matter what it is, as long as it concerns his younger sister, he will ask her more questions.
The He family did indeed report it to the authorities, and the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture came in person.
Upon seeing the old lady, the Prefect of Jingzhao repeatedly bowed and said, "Madam, I apologize for disturbing you. These troublemakers insist that your daughter's disappearance is related to Miss Yun. I brought them here to ask them a few questions. Once this misunderstanding is cleared up, I will leave!"
Luo Jifeng's face darkened upon hearing the words of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
He stood ramrod straight, his voice firm and resolute: "Prefect, we trusted you, that's why we asked you for help! But are you trying to protect Yun Chuwei? My sister was harmed by Yun Chuwei, how dare you protect her?"
The Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture looked displeased. He snapped at Luo Jifeng, "Nothing's been decided yet! What are you doing shouting like this? Do you think the Jingzhao Prefecture is your personal residence?"
The onlookers nodded in agreement, agreeing with what the governor of the capital had said.
Luo Jifeng's face turned pale and then red.
He didn't understand why everyone was on Yun Chuwei's side when they were the victims.
At this moment, the old lady spoke up: "When the Prefect of the Capital investigates a case, our Marquis's Mansion will naturally cooperate to the best of our ability. But I wonder, if it is found that he made a false accusation, how will you, sir, handle the matter?"
"If it is found to be a false accusation, then the law will be followed and the offender will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane!" said the Prefect of the Capital.
The old lady listened and then fell silent.
The Prefect of Jingzhao looked at Yun Chuwei with a respectful attitude: "Miss Yun, this young master said that when you were in Jizhou, you drove his sister out of the military camp, causing her to disappear or even die. Is this true?"
Yun Chuwei's expression remained calm as she said, "That's not true."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jifeng's face darkened: "Yun Chuwei, you still dare to argue! We have witnesses!"
As Luo Jifeng spoke, he pulled someone out from the crowd.
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with coldness.
She clenched her bare hand into a fist.
She naturally recognized this person.
The archer next to Xie Sheng, the one who shot and injured Nineteen with a sneak arrow.
Noticing the change in Yun Chuwei's emotions, Yun Mo asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you know this person?"
"Wei Ling, the Crown Prince's archer, previously shot a sneak arrow at the Marquis's residence, nearly killing my second brother's personal guard!"
When Yunmo heard Yun Chuwei call Yun Zheng "Second Brother," his eyes dimmed.
At this moment, Luo Jifeng spoke up: "These are guards of His Highness the Crown Prince. Guard, can you tell me what you saw?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Wei Ling!
Wei Ling's face remained expressionless as he spoke emotionlessly, "That day..."
However, he was interrupted after uttering only two words.
That was Xie Sheng's voice.
"Wei Ling, what nonsense are you spouting here?"
