Yun Xiaojing ran away from the Night King's mansion and hurried back to Uncle Ruan's home.
He lay on the small bed, thinking about the scumbag father who had just held him.
He snorted.
"Who cares about a scumbag father! I have my mother, and that's enough!"
However, based on his observations just now, the scumbag father seemed to have a bit of humanity.
He sat up again.
Cross-legged.
"Didn't everyone say the scumbag father had become crippled? Then why did it feel like his legs were fine when I was holding him just now?"
His small hands propped up his chin, fingers tapping his cheeks, his face full of confusion.
Forget it, he wouldn't think about it anymore. He needed to get a good night's sleep. He hadn't slept well at all last night!
After he slept well, he would figure out a way to see his brother!
He wanted to help his mother and have his brother recognize her sooner.
...
The General's Mansion.
Concubine Xiao ran tearfully to Old Madam Yun.
Old Madam Yun was agitated due to Yun Shu's return, having not even eaten breakfast.
She had been thinking of ways to make Yun Changfeng drive Yun Shu out.
Early this morning, she had sent someone to invite Yun Changfeng over, but Yun Changfeng said he had to go out.
For the sake of a mere daughter, he didn't even respect her, his mother.
She was almost infuriated to death!
Did he not know that Yun Shu's reputation was ruined? She was also foolish before, and eloped with someone outside for years. Now that she had returned to the capital, if the people of the capital found out, the Yun family would be openly ridiculed!
Why did he have to acknowledge Yun Shu!
Old Madam Yun held a grudge, a breath she couldn't exhale.
She was going mad with anger!
Concubine Xiao happened to run in crying. Seeing Old Madam Yun's worried face, she knew that Old Madam Yun hated Yun Shu as much as she did.
"Why are you crying again for no reason? Don't forget your status. Crying all the time, what kind of decorum is that!" Old Madam Yun reprimanded Concubine Xiao with a hint of anger.
Concubine Xiao didn't care at all because she had just received some astonishing news. She quickly nodded in agreement, then sighed again, "Old Madam, what should we do now?!"
"What do you mean, what to do?" Old Madam Yun frowned.
"Alas, the housekeeper of the mansion just told me that Yun Shu took several thousand taels of silver out this morning to squander. I heard she bought a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as fabrics. The housekeeper originally wanted to stop Yun Shu, but Yun Shu said it was the master's orders. She's already squandered thousands of taels right after she returned. What will happen next? The master hasn't been on the battlefield for years, and the Emperor hasn't given him any rewards. Relying solely on his salary, our large family can barely make ends meet. Now with Yun Shu squandering thousands of taels, how will our Yun family live on?!"
Concubine Xiao poured out a torrent of tearful complaints.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun immediately stood up and slammed her hand onto the back of the nearby chair. "Audacious and reckless! She dares to spend our Yun family's money!"
After speaking, she stormed out, heading towards Yun Shu's courtyard.
Concubine Xiao followed closely behind.
She secretly curled her lips in triumph.
Hmph, she had hurt Ying'er, and now she would make Yun Shu pay the price!
A moment later.
The furious Old Madam Yun, with a group of people, arrived at Yun Shu's courtyard.
She kicked open the door.
Yun Shu was leisurely sipping tea at the moment.
She raised her eyes, her lazy, cold gaze falling on the fiercely aggressive group at the door.
Old Madam Yun first glanced at Yun Shu, then at the various stacks of fabrics placed beside her.
