Under the cold moonlight.
Gu Xiaofeng raised his head and looked at the imposing plaque of the Great General's Manor.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong urge to go inside and take a look.
It felt as if there was someone inside he particularly wanted to see.
"Do you see it? The person who lives here, her name is Yun Shu. The woman they call Miss. She is also the one who harmed your adoptive mother. Today, she made your adoptive mother lose face in front of everyone. Your adoptive mother wants you to find an opportunity to see her, then poison her. Remember, absolutely do not get caught by her. If you are caught, pretend to be mute, understand?"
Yun Yueyin stared at the General's Manor with a venomous gaze.
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered before the Regent today, her hatred deepened.
A defeated foe, a fool, had made her lose so much face!
Gu Xiaofeng frowned, "Is she really that wicked!"
Hearing Gu Xiaofeng call Yun Shu wicked, Yun Yueyin's eyes gleamed with a smile. She nodded gently, "Yes, she looks like a good person, but in reality, she is malicious. Perhaps one day, if she sees you can be of use, she might even claim you are her son."
"My mother is my adoptive mother! I will not believe anyone who tries to impersonate my mother! Let alone a wicked woman!" Gu Xiaofeng's tone was extremely firm.
Yun Yueyin gently stroked Gu Xiaofeng's head and smiled, "So good! Xiaofeng, your adoptive mother is truly happy and proud to have you as her son. Auntie believes you will definitely help Auntie deal with the wicked people."
She only needed to watch the mother and son tear each other apart from afar.
In the end, she would then reveal the truth.
Wouldn't that be delightful?
Seeing how kind Yun Yueyin was to him, Gu Xiaofeng was deeply moved. "Auntie, I won't let her harm you again! I've learned how to make poisons from my master. I can make sure she can never harm adoptive mother again."
"Good, I believe you, Xiaofeng." Yun Yueyin secretly rejoiced.
At the same time, she placed her other hand on her abdomen.
The child inside was the Regent's!
Her child would surely be more formidable than Yun Shu's son!
In the future, she would make Yun Shu's son be a beast of burden for her son!
...
Night King's Manor.
Zhan Xiaoli tossed and turned in bed.
His large round eyes were wide open.
He had just had a dream.
He dreamt of two little boys.
They were both the same age as him.
Just like in his previous dreams, they seemed to know what each other was thinking.
He also dreamt of Mother.
"I want to see Mother."
He had been so happy these past two days, because his mother was actually Aunt Yun Shu!
However, Father wouldn't let him leave the manor now.
And he certainly wouldn't let him see Mother.
Suddenly.
He had an idea!
He would go find Father first thing in the morning and ask Father to send someone to take him to see his great-grandfather!
...
Yun Manor.
After bathing, Yun Yueyin sat in front of the bronze mirror in a very good mood.
She knew she didn't need to do anything now, just wait patiently. Gu Xiaofeng would definitely not disappoint her.
Suddenly.
She stared intently at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
After tidying up the clothes Yun Yueyin had taken off, Wen Shu came behind Yun Yueyin to comb her hair.
"Miss's hair is so smooth. None of the young ladies in the capital can compare to Miss's beautiful hair." Wen Shu could not help but exclaim.
Miss's raven hair was dark and shiny.
Suddenly, she noticed something was a bit off with Miss. "Miss, what's wrong?"
Yun Yueyin stared fixedly at the bronze mirror. Under Wen Shu's questioning, she snapped back to attention, raised her hand, and gently touched her face.
Wen Shu's expression changed as she looked at where Yun Yueyin was touching. "How is there a small red bump? There was definitely nothing there when you just bathed!"
Although the room was dim at this moment.
It was still clearly visible.
Yun Yueyin's face turned pale. She reached out and touched the red bump.
A sharp sting shot through her!
"Ah!"
Yun Yueyin immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing this, Wen Shu was startled. "It's just a bump, how could it hurt so much!"
"Quickly check and see what's going on," Yun Yueyin ordered Wen Shu.
Wen Shu quickly lowered her head to examine it.
Upon looking, she frowned. "Miss, it seems to be just a small red pimple. It might be better by tomorrow."
Although she said that, why did the red pimple look somewhat abnormal?
No, no, it must be because the sky was dark and the candlelight in the room was dim.
Yun Yueyin breathed a sigh of relief, but was still extremely annoyed. "I've been applying medicine these past two days, and I've been very careful about what I eat, so how could this happen?"
In the bronze mirror, the red bump was too glaring.
"It must be because Miss was angered by the second young lady today, and her anger surged, causing this. Miss, please relax. Sleep well tonight, and it will be better tomorrow," Wen Shu quickly comforted her.
Yun Yueyin felt somewhat tired. "It probably is. I'm tired, let's sleep."
"Yes, Miss."
...
The next day.
As dawn broke.
Yun Shu walked out of her room.
A'Cha walked over.
Handing her a cup of warm water.
"Up so early?" Yun Shu asked.
A'Cha smiled and said, "I'm used to waking up early."
Yun Shu nodded. In the prison of Dali Temple, the jailers would never let the prisoners have an easy time.
They would wake all the prisoners before dawn.
Her gaze suddenly fell on A'Cha's face.
"You've recovered well. The scar has faded a lot."
A'Cha raised her hand to touch her cheek. Her skin, which had been rough and scratchy before, had become much smoother these past two days. "Miss's medical skills are astonishing!"
Last night, Miss had given her another bottle of medicine.
She applied it and felt the effect was even more pronounced.
The scar was visibly shrinking.
"Many people in the capital don't know that Miss is skilled in medicine, and they still slander Miss. They are all blind! However, A'Cha, we absolutely must not tell anyone that Miss knows medicine," Yu Le walked over from the side and reminded A'Cha with some concern.
A'Cha nodded. "Okay, I understand."
The more she interacted with Miss, the more she understood that Miss was not simple.
"Ah, A'Cha, the scar on your face has really shrunk so much, and your skin is also glowing!" Yu Le came closer and saw it, completely shocked.
Yun Shu drank water while looking at the two maids.
Her mind was on another matter.
She had promised Old Master Qin that she would go and treat his grandson.
So, she would go see Old Master Han tomorrow, and then go see Old Master Qin.
She was also curious how such a cheerful person as Old Master Qin could have a grandson who couldn't withstand any setbacks.
Not far away.
Yun Changfeng walked over, holding Yun Xiaojing's hand.
Yun Xiaojing yawned.
"After getting up in the morning, practice horse stance, then run a few laps, and practice swordplay. In a couple of years, you'll be able to beat children several years older than you," Yun Changfeng said to Yun Xiaojing.
Hearing this, Yun Shu smiled.
Yun Xiaojing loved to sleep in, so now that he had been woken up, he was probably still groggy.
As for practicing horse stance, Yun Xiaojing had long been proficient in this basic skill.
When Yun Xiaojing saw Yun Shu, his eyes lit up. He ran towards Yun Shu and shouted loudly, "Mother!"
Yun Changfeng froze. "Mother?"
