Chapter 23 Why don't you just scratch the wall when you have nothing to do?
"Come on, place your bet now!" Yun Quan took out a teacup and placed it face down on the table, making it look quite convincing!
“Miss, please stop joking! We agree with you! She will definitely complain to the old lady! Miss, you are a god! You guessed everything perfectly!” Qingmiao’s casual remark brought a sudden clarity to Yun Juan’s mind!
"God? God? You'll lose!" Yun Juan smiled, her fingers tracing the patterns on the cup.
“Miss, you’re wrong! How could a god lose? That god is supreme!” Qingmiao said innocently, her eyes filled with admiration.
"But ten thousand years ago... the gods... lost! Their bodies were completely destroyed! Their three souls and seven spirits were all annihilated!" Yun Juan murmured to herself, as if answering Qing Miao's question!
Yun Juan got up, opened the window, and looked at the white clouds in the sky. Then she remembered!
She seemed to remember something, but it was all so confusing! A war between immortals and gods, and apparently demons too! What were they trying to do?!
Yun Juan couldn't see or hear clearly. In just a brief moment, it seemed that since arriving in Tianyuan Kingdom, many things had appeared in her memory!
Yun Juan was really bored and remembered that there was a second brother in the manor she hadn't met yet.
It's time to go see him: "Qinghe, where is the Second Young Master now? Shall we go see him?"
Qinghe was clearly taken aback by these words, and stammered, "Miss...we should...not go! If we go, Madam...will be angry!"
Yun Juan couldn't help but understand that something was going on: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Qinghe shook her head, unsure whether she should say it or not, but Qingmiao next to her couldn't hold it in any longer.
“Miss, if she won’t tell, I will! Back then, the Second Young Master was a renowned scholar in the capital, a gentle and refined gentleman, absolutely stunning! But during the hunt that year, Miss Rong insisted on taking the Second Young Master on horseback, and for some reason, his horse suddenly bolted off!” Qingmiao cried as she spoke!
"The horse suddenly bolted wildly, completely out of control. The second young master, sitting on its back, was terrified by this sudden turn of events. He tried desperately to pull on the reins, but to no avail."
In the end, he lost his balance and fell off the horse. Immediately afterwards, the horse's hooves trampled on him mercilessly, and with a "crack," one of the hooves landed directly on his leg.
The second young master was dragged for dozens of meters, his flesh revealing his bare bones.
Qinghe and Qingmiao were still a little scared when they talked about that scene from back then, when they had just entered the manor.
I was assigned to the old lady's room and had the good fortune to go with Yunrong to watch the royal hunt!
"So what about him now?" Yun Juan was more interested in knowing his current situation!
He must have found it hard to accept going from a brilliant and talented young man to a cripple confined to a wheelchair!
"We've consulted many doctors, even the imperial physicians! But all of them diagnosed that the Second Young Master can't stand up! Since that day, he hasn't seen anyone! He's become increasingly thin! Only his former page, Qing Tong, is still by his side serving him!" Qing He also felt sorry for the Second Young Master!
Back then, he was proficient in poetry, songs, and prose. Not only that, but he also played the zither with unparalleled skill. It's a pity that the second young master became despondent and never stepped out of his room again!
No one can accept such a fall from grace. He lost both legs, and although he was once one of the noble young men of Kyoto, he became the subject of everyone's gossip!
Yun Juan tapped her fingers on the table. She couldn't guarantee she could cure Yun Rui's leg; that was something Liu Chengcheng was good at. But she had transmigrated, while Liu Chengcheng hadn't!
However, the biggest problem is Yunrui's psychological state. Judging from Qinghe and Qingmiao's descriptions, Yunrui must also have psychological issues!
"Miss! The old lady requests your presence!" Yun Juan and Qing He and Qing Miao exchanged glances in the air, as if silently saying: See? Speak of the devil and he appears!
Miss, it has to be you! You seem to know them inside and out!
Yun Juan rolled her eyes! Couldn't she think of some nice words to praise herself? Why did she have to use "like a tapeworm"? It sounded disgusting!
"I understand!" Yun Juan opened the door and saw that it was still Granny Jin, who was by the old lady's side.
"Young Miss, everyone in the manor is here, but there are rumors circulating outside! The Prime Minister is very angry!" Granny Jin had dealt with this young lady quite a bit before.
"Thank you, Granny Jin, I understand!" Yun Juan gave Qing He a look, and Qing He quickly understood and handed over two pieces of silver.
Granny Jin accepted it with a smile. She knew that Granny Jin was trying to curry favor, but if she wanted Granny Jin to stand on her side, she would have to exchange it for something real!
Granny Jin clearly understood that the old lady wouldn't live much longer, and she needed to find a powerful backer. Although Madam Wei was not popular in the Prime Minister's residence, all of her children were incredibly capable.
No matter what, she still has the eldest son and young lady protecting her, so compared to them, this backer seems a bit better.
When Yun Quan arrived with Qing He and Qing Miao, everyone was already there.
"Oh ho, so many people here today? Are we putting on a big show?" Yun Juan said lazily, sitting down casually in a chair.
"You..." Prime Minister Yun slammed his hand on the table. Yun Rong patted his shoulder from behind, and he then remembered what this was about.
He swallowed his anger!
"Tell me, what's going on with all these rumors? Today when I went to court, the Censorate even impeached me! Come, tell me what's going on!" Prime Minister Yun slammed his hand on the table, trying to get an explanation from Yun Juan.
Yun Juan shrugged, giving me an expression that said, "How would I know?"
"I don't know. I just ran into your relative today when I went to collect a debt. He said he's your cousin? He sold fake medicinal herbs to the people! That's what the people are saying! What does it have to do with me?" Yun Juan acted as if to say, "Go find the people if you want, it's none of my business!"
"Stop acting like it's none of your business! If you hadn't gone, would all this have happened?" The old lady pointed at her and started talking.
Hmph! That old hag is really never quiet! All I did was mess with her precious nephew and infringe on her interests.
With no money flowing into her pocket, the old woman became desperate and resorted to extreme measures!
"Let me make this clear, you all seem to have misunderstood your place! That shop was my mother's dowry, and it belongs to her! My mother entrusted me with managing the shop! As for you, a woman's dowry belongs to her personally, and it has nothing to do with you. You can all go wash up and go to sleep!" Yun Juan rolled her eyes at them.
Just as she was about to leave with Qinghe and Qingmiao, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Yunting, "If you're really bored, go ahead and scratch the wall! Don't come looking for trouble with me, this young lady isn't someone to be trifled with! If you don't want to be impeached by the Censorate again, you'd better lie down obediently!"
