The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 39 Revenge, Boiling the Frog in Warm Water
Yun Jingyu, who had been sitting quietly, also became anxious. He spoke to Yun Mujiu for the first time: "Sister, you should drink this cup of tea. This is the tea we specially prepared for you. Drinking it will complete the ceremony of offering tea to your loved ones."
Ye also agreed, "Yes, Mu Jiu, everyone has their own tea. You should drink this cup of hot tea quickly to warm yourself up."
Yun Xiang's shrewd eyes flashed with confusion at this moment. He didn't understand why his wife and children were so anxious to let Yun Mujiu drink the tea. But when he thought about what Yun Mujiu had just said at the gate of Yun Mansion, his wife and children might have been oppressed by Yun Mujiu's status and dared not to overstep the line.
Yun Mujiu watched them pushing and shoving each other, his eyes gradually becoming cold and even a little angry.
The original owner, Yun Mujiu, grew up in such an environment. No one in her family ever cared about her. She was even poisoned for many years and suffered physical and mental persecution.
"Shirou, don't refuse when someone offers you tea, otherwise others will think that the young lady of the Yun family has no upbringing and will bring disgrace to the family."
Yun Shirou knew that if she continued to refuse, Yun Mujiu might notice something was wrong, but she didn't dare to drink it!
Yun Mujiu did not give Yun Shirou time to react. He walked forward, picked up Yun Shirou's original teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
She also praised: "This tea is really good!"
The only thing in front of Yun Shirou was the cup of tea that Yun Mujiu brought.
Her eyes were now full of guilt and anxiety.
Yun Mujiu picked up the teacup and put it to Yun Shirou's lips, and asked calmly: "You are hesitant to drink it, is there something wrong with this tea?"
Yun Shirou was startled and could only tilt her head to avoid the teacup, trying her best not to let her lips touch it.
Everyone present was shocked. People like Ye and Yun Jingyu who knew the truth were surprised because the matter might be discovered, while Yun Xiang and Yun Mujiu's maid were surprised because they were unaware of it.
But Yun Mujiu still tried to force the tea down her throat. She just wanted to play a trick on Yun Shirou.
She would not punish Yun Shirou directly, but would tease her like a mouse in a cage, making her experience constant pain and torture, but unable to escape.
Yun Xiang was furious and cursed: "You evil girl! What are you doing!"
Yun Jingyu stepped forward and wanted to attack Yun Mujiu. The Ye Mansion guards standing at the door had already sensed the danger, and they rushed over to block Yun Jingyu.
Yun Mujiu quickly pulled out a silver hairpin from Yun Shirou's head and inserted it into the tea. The next second after he pulled out the hairpin, the originally silver hairpin turned black.
The evidence is conclusive and the fact that the tea is poisonous is obvious.
With a "thump", the crisp sound of someone kneeling was heard.
Zhishu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, anxiously begging for help: "It is my fault. I poisoned Princess Ye. Please spare my life!"
Yun Shirou's pupils dilated, and she looked at Zhishu in disbelief. "Zhishu, why are you so confused! This is my sister, how could you have the heart to do this to her!"
Zhishu's round face was full of ferocity, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I am the servant who is seeking justice for the Second Miss. Princess Ye has not only lost the Second Miss's reputation because of the servants she brought as a dowry, but also the entire Yun Mansion! I was so angry that I poisoned the tea!"
Ye was furious, and with red eyes, she stepped forward and slapped Zhishu twice. "You bastard, you are so cruel! People like you cannot be kept alive! Come, drag her away and beat her to death with sticks!"
Aunt Cai behind Ye quickly stuffed a rolled-up handkerchief into Zhishu's mouth.
Zhishu's cheeks became swollen, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. Her small eyes revealed panic. The second lady once said that if the plan failed, she would arrange a retreat if she was asked to take the blame. But why did the lady execute me directly now?
Zhishu struggled and wanted to speak but couldn't open his mouth. He was dragged away by the maid beside Ye.
Yun Mujiu watched all this with cold eyes, she did not feel sorry for Zhishu. Zhishu and the Ye mother and daughter were in cahoots with each other, and were the evil people who had oppressed Yun Mujiu since she was a child. They also often beat and tortured other servants behind her back.
If she had not observed carefully, learned medical skills, and had the help of the doctor system, she, Yun Mujiu, would have been the one to die today.
Yun Mujiu was not surprised that Yun Shirou would take the blame for someone else. After all, people like Yun Shirou would do anything for their own benefit.
Although it was confirmed that the tea was poisonous, there was no substantial evidence to indicate that it was Yun Jingyu and his group who did it. Zhishu came out to take the blame again, so Zhishu alone had to be punished for this matter.
Yun Xiang was shocked and angry. On the surface, it was Zhishu who did it, but in fact, it was his own wife and children who secretly poisoned Yun Mujiu.
There was a heavy knocking sound from outside the door, but before it had reached ten times, it suddenly became quiet. Zhishu was immediately executed by the Yun family, without a single breath left.
Yun Mujiu lowered his head and sobbed, covering his face with a handkerchief and nonchalantly wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
"My life is so miserable! When I got married, I was attacked in the bridal sedan chair. There were also assassins attacking me in the palace. I didn't expect that I would almost die when I returned home!"
Just as Yun Xiang was about to speak, Yun Mujiu suddenly shouted.
"No! I'm so scared. I'm afraid that another servant will attack me. I'd better go back to the Ye Mansion first. At least there are guards to protect me!"
It was just an excuse to leave. She didn't want to have dinner here with the people from the Yun Mansion. Who knew what tricks they would play.
Yun Guan thought to himself, "It's okay. Diao Nu has already been executed. Let's eat first."
"Mujiu, don't worry, just listen to your father." Ye also looked at Yun Mujiu with concern. The tea was found to be poisonous, and she could still take other actions. She didn't believe that Yun Mujiu could hide safely for the second time!
Yun Mujiu's eyes turned slightly red because of what he did, and he looked like a frightened little rabbit.
"No, it's better not to bother. I'll reply to the visit another day."
After saying that, she hurriedly passed by Ye and Yun Shirou and left with big strides.
Ye and Yun Shirou could only watch Yun Mujiu leave, not noticing at all that Yun Mujiu exuded a faint floral scent as he walked by.
Yun Xiang couldn't stop Yun Mujiu, and he was so angry just looking at his wife and children.
"Stupid! You ruined my plan! I wanted to find out more about the Ye Mansion through Yun Mujiu, especially the situation of Ye Xiaohan! Idiots!"
The emperor was furious when Ye Xiaohan was not killed, and he took his anger out on him in the court. He could only promise the emperor that he could use Yun Mujiu to spy on Ye Xiaohan, and even work together to get rid of Ye Xiaohan when necessary.
Unexpectedly, after the Ye family made such a fuss, Yun Mujiu left directly. And he missed the opportunity to talk to Yun Mujiu.
The three members of the Ye family turned pale. Not only did they fail in poisoning, but they also unintentionally ruined Yun Xiang's plan.
Ye and Yun Shirou could only kneel on the ground crying.
"Master, please forgive me! I was so abrupt!"
"Dad, we were wrong. Don't be angry. We still have a chance to find Yun Mujiu again."
Yun Jingyu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, losing his usual arrogance. "Dad, we just want to save the Yun family's reputation..."
Seeing Ye's charming face crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Yun Xiang's restless heart gave rise to a trace of pity. After all, he just couldn't see Ye's pitiful and pretty appearance at that time, and he got together with Ye out of masculinity. It's better than sticking his face to Meng Wanzhou who didn't know what was good for him!
He was so angry that his beard trembled a few times. He knew that punishing them would be useless, so he could only try to calm his disordered breathing. "You are not allowed to go anywhere for this month. Stay in the mansion and reflect on your mistakes."
"Yun Shirou, find a way to invite Yun Mujiu back home in a few days."
The three of them nodded hurriedly as if they had been pardoned.
