"Young Master Ruan?" Zhan Tianye's gaze flickered.
Old Master Qin snorted, "Yes, someone from the Ruan family. You must know what kind of family the Ruan family is. Since Shu has gotten engaged to him, it means he can give Shu what she wants."
Moreover, he would treat Xiao Jing as his own.
"Whether it's Young Master Yi or someone from the Ruan family, she cannot marry him." Zhan Tianye's thin lips pressed together, his indifferent and elegant expression suddenly turning somewhat stern.
Old Master Qin didn't react at first.
When he did, he was stunned, "What did you say?!"
Did he mishear?
His grandson was so possessive of Shu?
Zhan Tianye looked at the shocked Old Master Qin and continued, "The relationship between Yun Shu and me is not as simple as Grandfather imagines. Grandfather will know the reason soon."
With that said, his grandfather should understand.
He glanced at Qiu Lu.
Qiu Lu immediately pushed Zhan Tianye out.
Once no one was left in the room, Old Master Qin finally came to his senses. What was that about?
The relationship wasn't that simple?
What did he mean?
Suddenly, Old Master Qin felt like the one who knew nothing.
It was as if he was the only one being kept in the dark.
He looked at the butler, "Can you guess what's going on between him and Shu? What did he mean just now?"
The butler was also bewildered, and with a puzzled and confused expression, "Old Master, if you can't figure it out, this old servant certainly can't."
Old Master Qin furrowed his brows tightly, "This damn brat, why does he only speak half the story? It's infuriating!"
"What kind of secret could there be between them?"
Old Master Qin suddenly stroked his beard and stared blankly at the chessboard before him.
The butler dared not disturb Old Master Qin and sat quietly nearby.
After a very, very long time.
Old Master Qin slapped his thigh, "Ah! How could I not have thought of it?! I actually didn't think of it! Ah! Maybe they've fallen for each other again in secret! My grandson is jealous!"
"Shu's medical skills are so amazing, she might think of other ways to detoxify, so there's no rush. That brat has been in a wheelchair for several years, what's a year or half a year more!"
"It's just, how did Shu get engaged to that Ruan family boy? It's fine, it's fine, as long as the marriage hasn't happened, the brat still has hope, and Shu can become part of our family!"
After a long string of self-talk, Old Master Qin suddenly understood.
The world of young people was full of changes; he couldn't stick to old ways.
"Good, good, wonderful! Quickly tell the kitchen to prepare a feast for tonight. I'm so happy today, I must celebrate properly!"
Old Master Qin quickly instructed the butler.
The butler received the order and hurried out.
Only Old Master Qin remained in the room, grinning from ear to ear.
At this time.
Zhan Tianye, having left the Qin manor and boarded the carriage, ordered Qiu Lu, "Have someone investigate who it is from the Ruan family."
"Your Highness, even if we find out who it is, Miss Yun Er is already engaged to that person, this..." Qiu Lu hesitated before voicing his doubt.
Zhan Tianye said coldly, "Engagements can be broken."
Qiu Lu was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the order and left.
His Highness was actually so attentive to Miss Yun Er!
He wondered if being targeted by His Highness was good or bad for Miss Yun Er.
...
Yun Manor, on the outskirts of the city.
The sounds of things being smashed and thrown kept coming from a room.
Everyone in the Yun manor knew about one thing.
Their eldest young lady was not only disfigured but also seemed to be on the verge of madness!
Also, their madam and master argued constantly. Whenever they met, it was from day to night, and they fought fiercely. The madam's face always had bruises and contusions.
It was terrifying to watch.
The old madam was also lying in bed, often sighing, barely able to eat.
Since leaving the General's manor, their lives had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Especially for the eldest young lady.
Wen Shu looked at the mess on the floor, startled.
Sweating profusely, she was also extremely anxious.
"Miss, you really can't smash anymore! If you keep smashing, there will be nothing left in the room. The steward said we don't have much money left in our manor!"
Wen Shu reminded her anxiously.
However, Yun Yueyin could not hear her.
She was filled with boundless rage.
"Regent King knew my injuries were serious, and I was harmed in the Regent King's manor. Everyone in the capital is watching my plight, thinking he doesn't care about me anymore and is going to abandon me. Yet, he still didn't come to see me. He actually just took a concubine! And our wedding date has been postponed by him!"
Wen Shu felt the Regent King was a bit excessive after hearing Yun Yueyin's words, but she couldn't say it directly, "Miss, the Regent King does have you in his heart, and he must be looking for that divine doctor right now. Once that divine doctor is found, Miss's face will recover just like Second Miss's!"
Yun Yueyin touched her face with trembling hands. The wounds on her face had already scabbed over, feeling incredibly rough to the touch.
It even felt like it could wear away her palm.
At this very moment, she suddenly seemed to understand something and calmed down.
"I can't just wait to die. I have a premonition that all of this was orchestrated by Yun Shu, and perhaps someone helped her in secret! The purpose was to ruin me, I absolutely cannot let them succeed! I must make Yun Shu pay the price!"
She would not become a discarded pawn!
She absolutely would not let the Regent King leave her in the mire.
Seeing that Yun Yueyin had finally regained some sense, Wen Shu quickly said, "Miss is right. Miss absolutely cannot wait to die. If everything Miss is suffering now was done by Second Miss, then Miss should be even more energized to fight back! Your servant believes Miss can definitely turn things around."
Hearing Wen Shu's words, Yun Yueyin's mind cleared up, and she suddenly thought of something, "Not long ago, when Zhan Xiao Li came to see me, there was a child with Zhan Xiao Li. That child's face was dirty. I didn't pay much attention at first, but now that I think about it carefully, that child seems to be..."
Yun Shu's son!
Yun Shu's son!
Those poisonous bees were brought in by that child!
So...
Everything makes sense. It was Yun Shu who instigated it!
"Despicable! Too despicable! In a few days... I remember the Empress Dowager should be returning soon. When the Empress Dowager returns, she will surely host banquets for many dignitaries in the capital. I must enter the palace and expose Yun Shu's illegitimate child before everyone! Also, go find Meng Jiatong and have her quickly send me the fake face!"
Yun Yueyin calmly commanded.
"Yes, Miss!"
...
After dinner.
Yun Shu, seeing Yun Xiao Jing asleep.
She was about to go see Yun Changfeng.
To explain the matter of her engagement to someone.
As a result, she had not gone far before someone grabbed her sleeve.
