"You!" Yun Yueyin's expression drastically changed.
Yun Changfeng said with a frosty face, "Leave quickly before I get angry!"
Then, he ordered the doorman, "From now on, anyone from the Yun family seeking an audience will be denied."
Just as Yun Shu and Yun Changfeng turned to enter.
Yun Yueyin, pushed to the brink, suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yun Shu, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone your secret?"
Yun Shu stopped.
She turned back to look at Yun Yueyin and said, "Idiot!"
"What do you mean?" Yun Yueyin didn't understand. What did "idiot" mean?
"Dare you say it? Yun Yueyin, your secret is the most explosive!" The more Yun Shu looked at Yun Yueyin, the more she felt she was an idiot.
Yun Yueyin's heart trembled fiercely. What did Yun Shu know?
Impossible!
Only she knew her secret; Yun Shu couldn't possibly know!
Under Yun Yueyin's suspicious gaze, the general's mansion gate opened and then closed.
The entire Yun family had lost face today!
Amidst the chatter, the Yun family members, dejected, got into the carriage.
They returned to the Yun mansion in disgrace.
On the way, Madam Yang was furious, "Such a Yun Shu, how dare she be so excessive! Yueyin, what was the meaning of your final threat to her?"
At this moment, Yun Yueyin was deeply conflicted and couldn't hear anything Madam Yang was saying. She said impatiently, "Mother, some things you shouldn't interfere with. This is between Yun Shu and me!"
What exactly did Yun Shu know?
And judging by her demeanor, Yun Shu wasn't afraid of people in the capital knowing about her pregnancy and childbirth!
She knew better than anyone that if the news of Yun Shu having given birth to three children became known, Yun Shu's life would be ruined. No one would marry Yun Shu, and even the Night King, knowing the truth, would never marry her.
But Yun Shu wasn't afraid!
Yun Shu's fearless expression just now, and her threatening words, all conveyed one message: Yun Shu also knew her secret.
She raised her hand and touched her stomach.
The unease in her heart intensified.
"Yueyin, you can't hide anything from Mother! And your face, why does it seem like it's become a bit sallow overnight?" Madam Yang frowned deeply.
She scrutinized Yun Yueyin.
Yun Yueyin knew the current condition of her face and said impatiently, "Mother, if I have a secret, I will tell you! Don't worry, can you let me be quiet for a while? If I can't return to the general's mansion, my luck won't be good, and my face won't fully recover! I need another surge, and it would be best if we could return to the general's mansion in these two days!"
Seeing Yun Yueyin's anger, Madam Yang quickly said, "Okay, okay, Mother understands."
She said this, but she still felt something was amiss.
She continued to stare at Yun Yueyin's face.
Perhaps she was mistaken, she rubbed her eyes.
She thought she saw wrinkles at the corners of Yueyin's eyes!
This was impossible. She herself had no wrinkles, so how could Yueyin have them?
Yun Yueyin, annoyed by her stare, quickly turned her face to look out the carriage window.
Madam Yang rubbed her eyes and continued to look. Perhaps it was the sunlight, but she discovered there were no wrinkles around Yueyin's eyes and immediately felt relieved. It must have been her eyes playing tricks on her.
The moment they arrived at the Yun mansion, Yun Yueyin had an idea!
Her trump card, Gu Xiaofeng, could be useful!
The next moment, as they alighted from the carriage.
They were suddenly terrified by the scene in front of the Yun mansion!
Several of them turned pale.
"Crows! Why so many crows!"
Old Madam Yun was so frightened she collapsed to the ground again, her legs weak. "So many crows, this is an ominous sign!"
"Ah!" Yun Ying, terrified, hid back in the carriage with Concubine Xiao.
The servants of the Yun mansion had all come out, trying to drive away the crows!
People living nearby, and passersby, all mocked the Yun family.
By now, quite a few people knew what had happened at the general's mansion.
They began to chatter.
"Is this retribution?!"
"They treated the second young lady of Yun so poorly, making her seem mad and foolish for so many years. Even heaven can't stand it!"
"When have so many crows ever appeared in the capital? This is telling us that what the second young lady of Yun said was true. No wonder General Yun was so angry and wanted to sever ties with them; I would do the same!"
"Yes, yes!"
Yun Dezhi's legs went weak from fright at the sight of the crows at first. But he was still somewhat skilled and grabbed a broom, swatting at the crows.
"Scram, all of you, get out, all of you!"
The crows didn't understand what he was saying.
They just flew around the Yun mansion's entrance, refusing to leave.
"This, this!" Old Madam Yun gasped for breath and fainted.
Madam Yang's face turned ashen. She commanded the servants at the entrance, "What are you all doing? Hurry and drive these crows away!"
Yun Yueyin's face was completely bloodless. She clenched her fists tightly, looking at the flock of black crows. She knew she couldn't stay at the Yun mansion any longer. She had to return to the general's mansion, otherwise, as the master had said, she might lose everything.
After planning for so many years and paying so much, she absolutely could not let it be destroyed!
...
In no time, news of the crows appearing at the Yun mansion spread throughout the entire capital.
Even the things Yun Yueyin and Old Madam Yun had done to Yun Shu became known.
The entire Yun family was forced to stay in an inn.
The crows blocked their way, preventing them from entering their residence.
Staying in the inn, Yun Yueyin's expression was extremely grim.
She was determined to make Yun Shu pay the price!
...
Night King's Mansion.
Zhan Tianye listened as Qiu Lu recounted the day's events.
He keenly sensed something.
"Yun Yueyin said she knows Yun Shu's secret?" he asked.
Qiu Lu nodded, "Yes!"
Zhan Tianye's brows furrowed deeply.
Yun Yueyin, Yun Shu, secret...
As he was pondering, Steward Wang rushed over in a panic.
"Your Highness, quickly go see the young prince!"
"What's wrong with the young prince?" Zhan Tianye asked in a deep voice.
Steward Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly, "The young prince was mumbling in his sleep last night, and he's mumbling in his sleep again today! No matter how I call him, he won't wake up. I don't know what to do! He must have been frightened!"
The next moment.
Zhan Tianye arrived at Zhan Xiaoli's bedside.
Zhan Xiaoli seemed to be having a nightmare.
He was mumbling indistinctly.
"Mother is mine, mine alone..."
"Two younger brothers... I don't have two younger brothers..."
"No... I have two younger brothers..."
"There are bad people... don't hurt my mother!"
These words were spoken intermittently.
Zhan Tianye reached out and touched Zhan Xiaoli's forehead. He wasn't feverish, so why was he talking in his sleep?
"Your Highness, the young prince is truly lonely! He wants two younger brothers!" Qiu Lu sighed.
Zhan Tianye narrowed his cold eyes and glanced at Qiu Lu, "You think this matter is that simple?"
