Neither Yun Xian nor Yun Lianhua answered Yun Chuwei's question; their faces were grim, and they remained silent.
Yun Chuwei continued, "If living together for a long time makes people resemble each other, then why do Yun Lianhua and my mother not resemble each other at all?"
Yun Xian's face was as black as ink.
Yun Chuwei continued with a smile, "When I first came back, I found that Yun Qianming was as obedient as a dog that Yun Lianhua kept. I was curious about why, so I asked around the manor. Guess what I heard?"
Standing behind Yun Chuwei, Yun Zheng asked with great interest, "What did you find out?"
“I heard from Guiyan and the others that in the past, whenever Yun Qianming made a mistake, the Marquis would beat him to death. Later, because Yun Lianhua pleaded for him, the punishment was reduced.” Yun Chu smiled sarcastically. “It seems that you two are quite adept at training dogs. Beat him to death, and then give him some treats so that he knows who his master is. In the end, isn’t Yun Qianming just as loyal to Yun Lianhua as a dog?”
As soon as Yun Chuwei said this, everyone's expression changed.
Even Yun Zheng, who had been watching the show, became serious.
These things, they used to see as completely without any problems.
I only saw her as a strict father and a sister who felt sorry for her brother.
However, after Yun Chuwei's reminder, they also discovered the unreasonable aspects.
First of all, some trivial matters didn't warrant such a brutal beating, yet Yun Xian beat people to death.
Secondly, it is clearly unreasonable to beat someone to death without Yun Lianhua's intercession, but to raise the issue high and then lower it lightly when Yun Lianhua pleads for mercy.
Yun Zheng felt a chill in his hands and feet.
At first, his father treated him the same way.
However, he later became very cautious and did not give his father any reason to find fault, so he escaped a disaster.
Yun Chuwei looked at Yun Xian and said with a smile, "If this isn't your illegitimate daughter, then why did you go to such lengths to help her tame Yun Qianming?"
"Nonsense!" Yun Xian's eyes were icy cold.
For so many years, no one had noticed this, but this daughter saw it all at a glance. This daughter is truly not to be underestimated.
He had previously been thinking of helping Lian'er tame Yun Chuwei.
Now it seems there was absolutely no need for that.
Yun Chuwei must die!
"I don't know why you're spouting nonsense and slandering my reputation. But as my daughter, your irresponsible and nonsensical talk deserves a good lesson!" Yun Xian said coldly, looking at Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei's lips curled slightly as she casually said, "Are you planning to kill me, and also these guards and my second brother, so that what I said today won't get out?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yun Xian with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Upon seeing this, Yun Xian quickly said, "Stop talking nonsense. How could I possibly kill them?"
Yun Chuwei sneered, "So you want to kill me! But I advise you not to. Before you came back, I had already arranged for storytellers to weave your misdeeds into tales. If I die or am injured, tomorrow the stories of you deceiving your wife for your illegitimate daughter, treating your son like a dog, and beating and killing your legitimate daughter will spread throughout the capital. At that time, you're finished! If we are at peace, I can have those storytellers stop telling those stories. After all, ruining your reputation won't do me any good!"
There was no storyteller involved; Yun Chuwei made all of this up.
She had suspected before that Yun Lianhua was Yun Xian's illegitimate daughter, but she was also afraid that she had misremembered their appearances.
It wasn't until just now, after comparing the two people's appearances, that she confirmed her previous guess.
She had just reached a conclusion, but there wasn't even time to tell the storyteller about it.
She bet that Yun Xian wouldn't dare take the risk.
Yun Xian really didn't dare to take the risk. After hearing Yun Chuwei's words, his face turned pale and then red, looking extremely ugly.
If what Yun Chuwei said really gets out, then he's really doomed.
By then, his reputation will be ruined, he might not even be able to keep his position as a marquis, and he might not even have a place to stand in the capital anymore.
He looked at Yun Chuwei, clenched his fists, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
The atmosphere was tense; no one dared to speak.
Even Yun Lianhua, who was usually very talkative, fell silent.
Yun Chuwei suddenly laughed: "Look at you all, why are you so serious? I was just joking! There are no illegitimate daughters, no storytellers, it's all fake! Lord Marquis, don't you agree?"
Yun Xian's face was gloomy, and his hands trembled slightly.
He gave a fake smile: "Indeed, it was all just a joke!"
Yun Chuwei said slowly, "I've met the person and made the jokes. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
As Yun Chuwei spoke, she turned around and slowly walked out.
Yun Xian's face was extremely ugly, but he dared not stop her and could only watch helplessly as Yun Chuwei left.
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly.
Seeing her father's menacing demeanor, Yun Chuwei initially thought she would be severely injured, if not killed.
But Yun Chuwei reversed the situation with just a few words.
She even forced her own father to tolerate her audacity.
This made him look at Yun Chuwei with new respect.
Moreover, he didn't know if others believed what Yun Chuwei said, but he did.
When he looked at his father and Yun Lianhua again, his eyes held a complex mix of emotions.
Noticing Yun Zheng's gaze, Yun Xian said, "Yun Zheng, you don't believe Yun Chuwei's nonsense, do you?"
Yun Zheng quickly said, "Father, of course I don't believe Yun Chuwei. I'm wondering who Yun Chuwei's master is, and why she taught Yun Chuwei to speak such nonsense! Father, I think I still need to guide Yun Chuwei to prevent her from going astray. Father, I'll take my leave now!"
Yun Zheng bowed and apologized, giving Yun Xian no chance to object, and turned to chase after Yun Chuwei in the direction she had left!
Seeing this, Yun Xian knew he couldn't stop him, so he ignored Yun Zheng.
With a stern face, he threatened and intimidated the guards until they were all trembling with fear before he finally let them go.
Soon, only Yun Xian and Yun Lianhua remained in the main hall.
Yun Lianhua looked helpless: "Father, what should we do about this? I'm afraid... I'm afraid Yun Chuwei will ruin your reputation..."
Yun Xian frowned.
He said in a low voice, "Let me discuss this with your mother before making a decision."
Yun Lianhua nodded: "Mother's absence recently has made things easier for Father. Father should consult with Mother as soon as possible to make a decision!"
Yun Xian nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Yun Chuwei won't be able to keep this up for long."
