The sight was astonishing.
Suddenly, a surge of hundreds, even thousands, of rats appeared before Wang Meiyuan's gate.
The rats blocked the entrance!
They also swarmed all over the house.
In an instant, it was a dark, dense mass!
This scene was utterly terrifying.
Wang Meiyuan and the other three women fainted one after another.
Soon, news of rats appearing in their respective manors and them contracting a strange illness spread through every street and alley of the capital.
When this bizarre event reached Yun Shu's ears.
Yun Shu's lips twitched severely.
Countless rats?
Every single one of Wang Meiyuan and her three companions' homes was overrun with countless rats?
"It must be Yun Xiaojing," Yun Shu said helplessly.
Jing Heng nodded, "Only the young master could have done this. No one else has the ability."
Yun Shu was at a loss for words, her son Yun Xiaojing! Always so mischievous!
However…
"Well, those people indeed deserved a good lesson. Otherwise, it would be a disservice to their years of scheming." Yun Shu picked up a sunflower seed and leisurely ate it.
She then praised Jing Heng, "Jing Heng, you did well!"
Jing Heng remained impassive, truly unperturbed by praise or criticism.
Yun Shu watched the sky darken outside the window, her chin resting on her hand, lost in thought.
She missed Zhan Xiaoli again.
She and Zhan Xiaoli had never truly met.
Furthermore, Zhan Xiaoli had no idea that she was his mother, and all Zhan Tianye could ascertain was that Yun Yueyin was Zhan Xiaoli's birth mother.
Seeing Yun Shu in a thoughtful daze, Jing Heng subtly placed a cup of tea before her.
Yun Shu directly picked up the teacup and drank.
The fragrant tea flowed between her lips and teeth.
"Let's go take a look."
Jing Heng did not ask where they were going, and simply followed behind Yun Shu.
At this moment, even if Yun Shu asked him to step on knives, he would not hesitate in the slightest.
Soon, they arrived at Wang Meiyuan's residence.
They stood on the rooftop of Wang Meiyuan's room.
Even now, numerous rats could be seen scurrying about.
Several maids were cautiously trying to drive away the rats with brooms.
However, the rats acted as if they were possessed, darting wildly, showing no fear of being hit, and simply refusing to leave.
The maids were sweating profusely.
Because this was their young lady's courtyard, the male servants could not enter. Only these young maids, mustering their courage, could attempt to drive away the rats.
Seeing these rats leaping and scurrying, Yun Shu curled her lips.
No wonder Wang Meiyuan and the others were scared unconscious.
Who could not be afraid of such an extremely rare scene?
Lifting a roof tile.
She caught a glimpse of the scene within.
A middle-aged woman was crying, her whole body trembling.
A nearby wet nurse repeatedly consoled her, "Madam, please don't cry anymore. This old servant just heard that the Qu family and the Li family also have rats, and thousands of them at that, impossible to drive away."
"What has happened to Meiyuan? Why has she attracted so many rats? As soon as she leaves her room, those rats crawl onto her and follow her everywhere. Madam, what can be done? She is about to be betrothed, and if today's events spread, it will affect her marriage prospects! She might be jilted, and once jilted, it will be incredibly difficult for her to marry again in the future."
The thought of these consequences turned Madam Wang's face ashen.
Lying on the bed, Wang Meiyuan, in a daze, heard Madam Wang's words and opened her eyes.
At first, she was blank.
Then, with a scream, she exclaimed, "Rats!"
"The rats are all outside, they didn't enter the room. Meiyuan, what exactly happened? What did you eat? Or what did you touch that you shouldn't have?" Madam Wang wiped away her tears and quickly inquired.
