Phoenix’s Requiem

Chapter 115: settle accounts

Views:

Yun Ruoyan's words were tantamount to directly breaking the skin with An Shi.

In the past, An's and the others used small tricks to frame Yun Ruoyan. At most, she would be punished and make a fool of herself. The ultimate goal was to abolish Yun Ruoyan's position as a prostitute and let Yun Ruoyao take her place.

But as Yun Ruoyan got better and better, An and the others became more and more uneasy, and the schemes they used became more and more vicious.

From the last poisoning in the pavilion in the lake to this collusion with demons to frame up, every time is enough to kill Yun Ruoyan.

Yun Ruoyan had been focusing on cultivation before, and her attitude towards An Shi and the others was to cover up with soldiers, but there was still a gap in Baimi, if Li Mo hadn't arrived in time this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This kind of danger must never happen again, and An Shi and others must not tolerate it any longer!

"Grandmother, Ruoyan knows that you really love Ruoyan, that's why Ruoyan begs you to give Ruoyan justice!"

Yun Ruoyan said one sentence after another, pressing her step by step: "If such justice is impossible, then what's the point of Ruoyan being a prostitute!"

Liu Shi and Yun Lan had never seen Yun Ruoyan so angry, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

They knew that what Yun Ruoyan said was true, and they were even An's accomplices once.

But what is justice? As long as she has enough effect on the family, she can have justice, if she has no value, she does not deserve justice.

In the past, Yun Ruoyan was unworthy, but now she has the capital to seek justice, but Yun Lan and Liu Shi don't like to bring up old accounts.

Small punishments are fine, but harming the harmony of the family is not.

In the hearts of Yun Lan and Liu Shi, the harmony of the family is the most important thing, even if the harmony is only an appearance.

At this moment, An's expression was very ugly. Ever since Yun Ruoyan was taken into captivity, although Yun Lan did not scold her, she did not give her any good looks.

Last night, Mrs. Liu even punished her to go to the ancestral hall for a whole night of contemplation. A grandmother who was the head of the family was punished for contemplation. This was unprecedented in the Yun family. This night, An's spent in a state of incomparable depression.

Now this Yun Ruoyan is still pressing her every step of the way, and she has the intention of not giving her up unless she is given justice.

"Why? Obviously, I should be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family Mingmei. What is that Lin Yuemei? Why should I obediently give her the position of eldest lady as soon as she appears."

An's heart said: "After she died, I got back what belonged to me, but why should her ugly and useless daughter still occupy my daughter's place?"

An's guilty conscience suddenly turned into full of grievances.

"Mother." An Shi choked up and said, "It is said that stepmother is not good. I have seen it now. It is just a momentary oversight, and it will be misunderstood as a deliberate murder."

"Misunderstanding? Haha." Yun Ruoyan sneered and said, "Three years ago, I was seriously injured on the family training platform. Shaoyao went to ask her mother to find a doctor, but her mother said yes, but she dragged on day after day. If it wasn't for Third Aunt taking care of me day and night, I'm afraid I would have died by then."

An opened her mouth to defend herself, but Yun Ruoyan didn't give her a chance to answer, and continued, "And for every major event in the past three years, each of the sisters in the family has distributed a piece of money to cut new clothes. But every time it is distributed to Yilan Courtyard, what is left is rags and rags, and the money is only half of others, is this also mother's negligence?"

Yun Ruoyan looked at Anshi and waited for her to answer.

"There are so many children in the clan, it is inevitable that the distribution will be biased."

An Shi finally had a chance to defend herself, and said hastily: "So every time I make an assignment, I will ask the steward to notify everyone in every room. If you are dissatisfied with the assignment, you can come to Yilan Courtyard to find me at any time."

An Shi said: "Occasionally other children will come to me to complain about the unfairness of their income. I will adjust and supplement in time every time, but I have never seen the second lady come. Now it is too far-fetched to use this as an example. "

In the past, Yun Ruoyan was timid and afraid of things, so even if she suffered from being dumb, she would not speak out. It was because of her temperament that An's dared to blatantly suppress her, the prostitute of the Yun family.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter for now."

Yun Ruoyan continued: "Then on the first day of the Spring Festival last year, I was going to pay my respects to my grandmother, but I ran into Hongyu on the way. She told me that my grandmother was unwell, so she asked me to go back to Tinglan instead of paying my respects." Yuan waited for the news, but all the children in the clan paid New Year's greetings at the grandmother's place, except for me."

Li Guo valued etiquette and filial piety, and that time Yun Lan was furious, saying that Yun Ruoyan didn't understand filial piety, and didn't know etiquette. Without giving Yun Ruoyan any chance to explain, he directly punished her to kneel in the family ancestral hall for three days.

"If Hongyu hadn't been ordered by the second aunt, how dare she lie to me at will?!" Yun Ruoyan asked.

"Really?" Liu asked at this time, her tone was unbelievable. She also remembered that day all the juniors in the imperial city gathered in Xianglan Garden to give her New Year's greetings, but there was only one missing. Yun Ruoyan.

Liu Shi has always felt that although Yun Ruoyan is withdrawn and timid, she still understands the basic etiquette, but that time also made Liu dissatisfied with Yun Ruoyan.

"What do you say?" Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. An with serious eyes.

An's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly called out: "Red jade!"

Hong Yu who was standing next to An's body trembled, and bowed in response: "Ma'am."

"Is what Second Miss said is true? Did you deceive Second Miss?" An Shi asked sharply.

"I... I..." Hongyu faltered for a long time but couldn't tell why.

"What am I, do I have it?!" Mrs. Liu shouted.

"No maidservant!" Hongyu bowed in response after being drunk.

Yun Ruoyan glanced sideways at Hongyu, and asked coldly, "Hongyu, if you don't have one, why are you hesitating?"

Hongyu is An's confidant, and she has done many bad things under An's subordinates, and her psychological quality is better than that of ordinary girls.

Except for the moment when she was at a loss when An's name was suddenly called at the beginning, she was able to cover up the tension in her heart well.

"Return to Miss Second."

Hongyu bowed and replied: "Because it's been a long time, Hongyu was afraid that I might not remember clearly, so I thought about it for a while. On that day, Hongyu was ordered by his wife to help count the gifts received during the Spring Festival in the small warehouse. Entering the big warehouse, I have never been to other places, and I have never met the second lady. I must remember that the second lady is wrong."

"I did ask Hongyu to help Zhang's mother take inventory in the small warehouse that day." An Shi said, "As for whether Hongyu went to other places to do other things, I don't know. If you don't If you believe Hongyu's words, call Mama Zhang to confront her."

Yun Ruoyan sneered in her heart, the road to Xiaocang turns a corner and it happens to be the path from Tinglanyuan to Xianglanyuan, Hongyu deliberately waited for her there, and went to Xiaocang after deceiving her.

Mrs. Zhang is an old man in Liu's hands. With Mrs. Zhang testifying, it is natural that people will not be able to grasp it.

In order to deal with her poor concubine daughter, An really took great pains!

Mrs. Liu was about to ask Mama Zhang to come, but Yun Ruoyan stopped her and said, "Grandma doesn't need it, since Second Aunt has already made preparations, even if she calls someone, she won't ask anything."

Yun Ruoyan no longer called An's mother, but directly called her Second Aunt. Similarly, An did not call Yun Ruoyan by her nickname, but directly called her Second Miss.

So far, the relationship between the two people has been completely ruined on the bright side.

"Yun Ruoyan, it's too much for you to say that."

Yun Ruoyao, who was reprimanded by Yunmo Xiao and kept silent all the time, said, "Are you trying to slander your mother without any proof?"

As Yun Ruoyao spoke, she looked at Yun Ruoyu at the side, and felt a little puzzled when she saw that she lowered her head and said nothing. Usually Yun Ruoyu is the one who speaks at the front at times like this, why didn't she say a word today

"Since we have reached this point, I will settle accounts with you, eldest sister, today."

Yun Ruoyan turned her gaze to Yun Ruoyao, "It doesn't matter if you and Second Aunt conspired to frame me again and again, if you brought Yun Ruoyu and Yi Qianying to attack me in the giant tooth tiger in the secret realm, did you escape? If you lead us into the snake's den and try to kill us, you should be expelled from Yun's house!"

"You spitting blood!" Yun Ruoyao didn't expect that Yun Ruoyan would bring up the old matter again, and said hastily: "You don't want to make so many accusations against me and my mother, as long as there is no evidence, you are just empty words that slander people. In front of grandma and father, I also want to ask why you slander us?"

"Second miss, if you are dissatisfied with me as the head of the house, you can come here alone, there is no need to involve your elder sister." An's tone was full of disappointment and sadness, "Ruoyan, Auntie really misunderstood You, didn't expect you..."

"Hmph! What a second aunt, what a second sister."

Listening to Yun Ruoyan's words, Yun Moxiao was already furious in his heart. He clenched his fist tightly to suppress the anger in his heart. He interrupted An's words and said: " When I was young, I remembered that my mother treated you well, but I didn't expect that you would repay her like this after my mother left!"

Yun Moxiao has always known that Yun Ruoyan is inferior and introverted because of the birthmark on her face, even though she is a daughter-in-law, she always dare not raise her head to meet people, but he never thought that Yun Ruoyan would suffer such a cruelty at home. Bully.

Yun Moxiao turned to look at Yun Lan, who had been silent all this time, and asked in a deep voice, "Father, you didn't let me write to my sister, saying that it would affect her cultivation, and that you would definitely take good care of her. This is how you take care of her." result?"

Yun Lan sat quietly on the main seat, like a sculpture, without changing her posture. When Yun Moxiao asked him, his eyes flickered, and he said, "These are all from Yan'er. There is a estrangement and misunderstanding between her and her mother, so her words cannot be trusted entirely."

Yun Moxiao didn't expect Yun Lan to say such a thing.

"Father doesn't believe Ruoyan's words, but I do!" He looked at Yun Lan disappointedly, and said, "Since father can't protect my sister, then I will protect it myself."

Yun Moxiao took Yun Ruoyan's hand and said word by word, "I want to take Yan'er to the army."
