Chapter 126: Sending Yun Xiaoyu into the Oil Pot

  The lady-in-waiting took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and woke up three days later. After hearing from Zhao's mother about Yun Jinghua, she fainted again with a flip of her eyes. Zhao's mother and Yun Suiyu were so shocked that they pinched the person's pulse and used smelling salts.

  It was not easy, and Madame finally calmed down. All she heard was Yun Tsai Yu crying: "Mother, you must think of a way to save Big Brother. Second Brother has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights without eating or drinking. If this continues, Second Brother will die. This time, Father is determined to punish Second Brother. Mother, please think of something."

  The madam was both heartbroken and furious, her face pale, panting heavily as she leaned back again. Zhao's mother hastily stroked the madam's chest while instructing Yunshui Yu: "Fourth Miss, the madam has just woken up, don't tell her these things."

  With great difficulty, Madame finally breathed smoothly, pushed away Zhao's mother and patted the bedside crying: "I want to see Master, I want to see Master, he can't treat Qinghua like this."

  Yun Shangren was soon summoned, and he saw that Madame's eyes were filled with impatience.

  "Old master, I heard that you've locked Qinghua in the ancestral hall and aren't giving him food or water. Old master, how can you treat Qinghua like this?" The old madam's face was full of indignation, and if it weren't for Zhao mom and Yun Xiaoyu holding her back, she would have jumped out of bed already.

  "You already know that I locked her in the ancestral hall, so you should also know why I locked him in the ancestral hall? He has a narrow mind and cannot tolerate other brothers and sisters. Using such ruthless means to deal with his own younger brother, and just a few days after the last incident, he committed another serious mistake. If I don't severely punish him, he will eventually commit an unforgivable sin." Yun Shangren's face was filled with anger, becoming more agitated as he spoke, almost shouting in the end.

  "Jinghua must have been wronged, Master! You must release Jinghua! You can't fall for someone else's scheme!" The old madam exclaimed wildly, stretching out her hand and shouting hysterically.

  Yun Shangren furrowed his brow and said coldly, "It's not worth arguing about. If there's nothing else, I still have things to attend to. You should focus on recovering from your illness and stop looking for trouble."

  "Old master, old master..." The madam struggled to go and stop Yun Shangren, but Yun Shangren left without looking back.

  "Yun Jiechu, Yun Jingxi, you two little rascals, I won't let you off!" Watching Yun Shangren disappear into the distance, Madame was so angry that she pounded the bed and beat the pillow.

  "Ah-choo!" Jingxiu Garden, who was holding Wujian under the big tree to sunbathe, suddenly sneezed and muttered: "Who is scolding me?"

  It lazily opened its eyes to glance at Yun Jingchu, then continued to bury itself in sleep. For some reason, it had been getting sleepy easily lately, and whenever it did, it would hear the sound of Buddhist chanting. It couldn't figure out why, so it forced itself to think positively, guessing that its mother must have received the letter and invited a monk to perform rituals for it.

  Yun Jingxi hastily came over, bent down and whispered to Yun Jingchu's ear: "I heard that Yun Jinghua fainted, the housekeeper has already reported it to Father. Father made a stern statement, saying if she doesn't die, don't bother him with this. Also, Madame woke up and just called for Father, asking him to release Yun Jinghua, but Father didn't agree."

  "Hmm. Has Xiaocui's matter been arranged?" Yun Jingchu smiled and nodded.

  "It's all set, Father will know tomorrow." Yun Jeong-hee also nodded.

  "That's good. This time, I'll pour a ladle of oil on the raging fire and send Yun Tsui Yu into the oil pot." Yun Tsui Yu coldly smiled with his eyes closed.
