Her face flushed.
Yun Changfeng was also startled when he saw the banknotes.
Suddenly, he realized he didn't know his daughter well.
And what had she experienced in these five years?
Yun Dezhi's eyes turned red, "Where did you get this money?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Yun Shu said with a half-smile, her gaze dismissive.
Aunt Xiao frowned, that strange feeling returning.
She stared intently at the banknotes on the table, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"You!" Yun Dezhi was furious.
But he couldn't say anything else!
"It's getting late, you should leave the General's mansion quickly." Yun Changfeng said coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.
Hearing Yun Changfeng's words, Old Madam Yun immediately felt uncomfortable.
"Changfeng, you are truly heartless!"
"You wanted to leave before dawn, and Father is now letting you go, fulfilling your wish. You don't have to thank me, but there's no need to pretend to blame my father," Yun Shu extended her hand, waving them away.
Indicating they could leave as soon as possible.
She then said to Yun Changfeng, "Don't worry, Father. I will be filial to you from now on, and I will support you."
Yun Changfeng's eyes, which would not have welled up even if he were cut ten times by an enemy, were now, just like last night, unable to help but turn red.
What had he done to deserve this!
While the father and daughter shared a moment of deep affection, the other three, looking at the piles of banknotes, were consumed by jealousy and anger.
They even took the thousand taels they had intended to leave behind when they moved out.
Riding in the carriage to their new home, Yang Shi heard Yun Dezhi mention that Yun Shu had tens of thousands of taels in banknotes, and she cursed loudly, "She deserves to have so much money? Who gave her the money? In these past few years, has she been someone's concubine for some wealthy merchant?"
"A concubine?" Yun Dezhi frowned in disgust.
Yang Shi sneered contemptuously, "Besides her face, how else do you think she could earn money?"
"Shameless! Now it seems only our Yueyin is a true noble lady of the capital, a true phoenix on a branch, unmatched by anyone. When Yueyin and the Prince Regent return to the capital, I will surely rise in status!" Yun Dezhi's future was filled with high spirits and anticipation.
Yang Shi's eyes also sparkled, "My lord is right, no one in the capital can compare to our Yueyin!"
In the carriage behind, Aunt Xiao and Yun Ying shared a carriage.
Yun Ying's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock when she heard that Yun Shu had tens of thousands of taels in banknotes, "Where did she get so much money?"
"I don't know. Either someone gave it to her or she stole it," Aunt Xiao frowned, desperately hoping it was as she said.
If it was Yun Shu's own money, then...
She, and the old madam, had underestimated Yun Shu!
"Hmph! This afternoon, I'm going to the palace with my uncle. I'll find an opportunity to make Yun Shu lose face in front of everyone!" Yun Ying decided, she would have her revenge today!
Didn't Yun Shu like Prince Ye?
Now Prince Ye was crippled and his temper had become very strange. She wanted to make Yun Shu offend Prince Ye this time!
It would be best if Prince Ye killed Yun Shu in a fit of rage!
Yun Ying thought viciously in her heart.
...
When Old Madam Yun and the others left, they almost emptied the General's mansion.
A large group of them, along with several carriages of belongings.
Attracted a lot of attention.
After some inquiries.
Everyone in the capital knew one thing.
That Yun Dezhi had severed ties with Yun Changfeng!
No, Yun Changfeng had been expelled from the Yun family's genealogy!
Although the people of the capital didn't know the exact reason, it didn't stop them from speculating and gossiping about the matter.
And at this time, the Zhennan General's Mansion was empty everywhere.
Only those loyal to Yun Changfeng and Yun Shu's mother remained.
All other servants had been taken away by Old Madam Yun and the others.
The vast General's mansion was now much more spacious.
Yun Shu knew that Yun Changfeng was sad even though he didn't say it, so she asked him to rest and wait to go to the palace together in the afternoon.
She, on the other hand, gave a few instructions to Yun Jing.
A moment later.
Several people entered the General's mansion.
With military speed, they cleaned the entire General's mansion from top to bottom, and at the same time, even redecorated it.
The entire General's mansion was renewed.
The remaining servants, seeing the renewed mansion, which was far superior to before, almost dropped their jaws.
Astonishing!
Yun Shu looked at everything before her, extremely satisfied, "Very good!"
She returned to her room and casually selected clothes to wear to the palace later.
Just now, Jing Heng had told her that Zhan Tianye would be bringing Zhan Xiaoli to the palace today.
Today was her official meeting with Zhan Xiaoli, and she wanted to make a good impression on him.
After she changed and came out.
She found Yun Changfeng waiting in her courtyard, "Father."
Yun Changfeng turned around gently.
And looked at Yun Shu.
The moment he saw her, his eyes suddenly welled up.
"Shu'er, you look so much like your mother."
He suddenly missed his wife dearly.
She hadn't been able to watch their daughter grow up.
She hadn't seen their daughter become so outstanding.
Yun Shu smiled, "I look like Mother and Father."
Yun Changfeng secretly wiped his eyes, "What's wrong these past two days? There's sand in my eyes. Let's go to the palace. Father has some questions to ask you on the way."
When he woke up and walked out of his room, he saw the almost earth-shattering changes in the General's mansion and was greatly shocked.
He suddenly understood that his daughter had not only undergone tremendous changes but would also no longer be bullied arbitrarily like before.
"Okay." Yun Shu's eyes curved, and she agreed with a smile.
At this time, the world, unaware of the changes in the General's mansion, and having heard the news from somewhere, believed that the General's mansion was now destitute.
Even some young ladies from noble families who were going to the palace knew about this.
Many harbored ill intentions.
They even thought that after five years, they would see Yun Shu make a fool of herself in public again!
As the carriage slowly drove towards the palace.
Yun Shu roughly explained the situation over the past few years.
Of course, she omitted some important matters.
She simply told Yun Changfeng that she had met some true friends outside these past few years, and they had all helped her. She had started a small business and made quite a bit of money.
Hearing that Yun Shu had not suffered in these years, but rather had people helping her, Yun Changfeng's old father's heart finally settled.
Relieved.
"Good, good, that's good!" Yun Changfeng nodded repeatedly.
Yun Shu then said, "Don't worry, Father. The business I'm doing is doing well, and it will definitely allow us to eat and drink well every day!"
"Hahaha, Father believes you! Father's daughter is the best!" Yun Changfeng laughed joyfully and heartily.
The father and daughter didn't realize they had already arrived at the palace gates.
There were other carriages beside theirs.
And Yun Changfeng's laughter happened to be overheard.
