It wasn't that Yun Chuwei didn't want to tell Yun Zheng the truth, but rather that telling Yun Zheng the truth was risky.
Yun Zheng probably still has feelings for Yun Xian.
If Yun Zheng doesn't believe her and goes to Yun Xian to verify, then it's all over.
Therefore, it's best not to tell Yunzheng anything.
Yun Zheng frowned slightly, looking at Yun Chuwei with his eyes full of doubt.
This younger sister is clearly younger than her, the same age as those naive young ladies from wealthy families.
But why did he feel that his younger sister had been through so much?
His mature demeanor beyond his years is heartbreaking.
He said earnestly, "If you need any help, please tell me, okay?"
Yun Chuwei nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I'll let you know if I really need help!"
Just then, Guiyan came in carrying a bowl of medicine.
"Young Miss, the medicine is ready. I've also prepared your meals. Please eat something, drink your medicine, and then go to sleep for a while!"
Guiyan could also see that Yun Chuwei really needed more rest.
She felt that Yun Chuwei must not have slept enough, so she wanted Yun Chuwei to sleep a little longer.
Yun Zheng completely agreed with Gui Yan's words, and stood up, saying, "Yes, you need to rest more. Go and sleep some more after you've eaten!"
Yun Chuwei did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
She definitely needs more rest.
-
Yun Chuwei wasn't in a hurry to deal with the rumors; she wanted them to ferment for a while longer.
So, after taking her food and medicine, she fell asleep peacefully.
She didn't expect that when she woke up again, she would hear Guiyan's urgent voice.
"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! The Second Young Master got into a fight with some young masters in the capital because of the rumors circulating outside, and even injured the Yue family's son. Now, Lord Yue has arrived with his son, and the Marquis, wanting to give the Yue family an explanation, has already requested that they be punished according to family law. I heard that the Marquis is very heavy-handed; if no one stops him, the Second Young Master will be crippled if not killed!"
Although Guiyan didn't particularly like the Second Young Master, she felt that her young lady and the Second Young Master got along very well.
So when she told Yun Chuwei about it, she was also a little anxious!
Yun Chuwei immediately got up, quickly washed and dressed, and went out.
Guiyan hurriedly followed beside Yun Chuwei, handed her a steamed bun, and said, "Miss, have this to tide you over."
Yun Chuwei didn't stand on ceremony and took the buns directly, eating them as she walked towards the main hall.
Upon arriving outside the main hall, they indeed saw guards escorting Yun Zheng, who was being flogged.
Nineteen was also injured and was pinned to the side, unable to move.
Upon seeing this, Yun Chuwei frowned slightly, raised her voice, and said, "Stop!"
The guards who were about to administer the beatings didn't intend to pay any attention to Yun Chuwei, but Guiyan was stronger and pushed the men away.
She raised her voice and said, "Young Miss told you to stop! Are you deaf? Can't you hear what Young Miss said?"
Upon hearing this, the guards who were administering the beating wanted to mock Yun Chuwei, but when they met Yun Chuwei's cold and icy gaze, they couldn't help but shut their mouths.
They wanted to continue their attack, but then they saw Yun Chuwei step forward and stand on the other side of Yun Zheng.
The master and servant protected Yun Zheng from both sides, leaving them no room to make a move.
At this moment, Yun Xian stepped forward, looked coldly at Yun Chuwei, and said, "Yun Chuwei, what do you want to do? Are you trying to rebel?"
He is Yun Zheng's father, so it is only natural for him to discipline Yun Zheng. What is the meaning of Yun Chuwei running out to stop him?
Yun Chuwei glanced at Yun Xian but did not reply.
Finally, she turned her gaze to the guards who were holding Nineteen down.
Those guards felt a chill run down their spines after receiving Yun Chuwei's gaze.
They wanted to release Nineteen, but were afraid of being punished by the Marquis, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold Nineteen down.
Yun Chuwei knew that the guards were in a dilemma, so she withdrew her gaze.
She looked at Yun Xian and sneered, "Father thought of using family discipline to punish me as soon as he returned. Now he's using it to punish my second brother. What a show of power. I just don't know what mistake my second brother made that warrants such harsh treatment from Father?"
At this moment, the Yue family father and son, who were drinking tea in the main hall, also came out.
Yun Chuwei recognized the two of them, and the cold smile on her lips deepened.
These two were acquaintances; they were Yue Jingsheng and his father, Yue He.
Yue Jingsheng looked at Yun Chuwei with a hint of disdain on his face.
Is this the Yun Chuwei that his aunt specifically instructed him to be careful around? In his opinion, apart from being a little prettier, she was nothing special.
He said, "Your second brother injured me, and your Marquis's mansion should give our Yue family an explanation. It is only right for the Marquis to request family discipline; what is wrong with that?"
Yun Chuwei glanced at Yue Jingsheng from head to toe, her eyes full of sarcasm: "I can't see where Young Master Yue is injured. Couldn't you have put some effort into faking your injury?"
Yue Jingsheng choked.
He reached out and pulled up his sleeve, exposing the wound.
"The wounds on my hands were all caused by Yun Zheng's scratches! The doctor has already applied medicine, and they're a bit better now, otherwise the wounds would have been even deeper!"
Yun Chuwei looked at the arm with a slight cut, and her expression turned cold.
"It's fortunate that the doctor we called arrived quickly, otherwise it would have healed by now!" Yun Chuwei said with a cold smile.
“You…” Yue Jingsheng was somewhat annoyed.
Yun Chuwei continued, "It's a good thing that Young Master Yue is a man and doesn't need to do needlework, otherwise, after being pricked by needles a few times, wouldn't he find life too hard and just hang himself?"
"You, you, you..." Yue Jing was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, Yue He reached out and stopped Yue Jingsheng from turning back.
He looked at Yun Chuwei with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
This little girl isn't even twenty yet, is she? Standing in front of him and Yun Xian, she wasn't afraid at all, and even stepped in to protect her brother. It's truly rare.
Her own son, however, was far inferior to Yun Chuwei in eloquence.
Yue He said, "Little girl, I know you want to protect your brother. But today, it was indeed your brother who started it. No matter how badly my son is injured, it's still your brother's fault! Your father is right to punish your brother according to family rules! Even if you try to stop him, it won't change anything!"
Yun Xian immediately chimed in, "That's right, if we don't teach him a lesson, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause next time!"
Yun Xian's reprimand of Yun Zheng was entirely an excuse to make a fuss.
There are two reasons for this.
One reason is that as soon as Yun Zheng returned, he sided with Yun Chuwei, which he couldn't tolerate.
Another reason is that teaching Yun Zheng a lesson can dampen Yun Chuwei's arrogance. It lets everyone know that anyone who sides with Yun Chuwei will not have a good ending.
Moreover, only by eliminating Yun Zheng can Yun Chuwei return to being all alone.
