Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 33: Water Falls and Rocks Emerge

  Li's nervous expression, except for Tong Shi, could not escape the eyes of the other three big and small foxes!

  But, at the old lady's place...

  Thinking of this, Yun Zhan couldn't help but feel a headache. When facing Li Niang, he could be completely ruthless and do whatever he wanted without leaving any room for emotions. But what about his own mother?

  He secretly glanced at Li Niang and made a decision in his heart!

  Mo saw it with his own eyes, and his heart moved. This old man wouldn't let Li Niang bear the blame alone, would he? If Yunfu spread the word that the old lady had emptied her own son's family fortune, this would absolutely make Lao Ye and even Yunfu a laughing stock throughout the entire Shangjing!

  "Bring in the men, take these people out, flog them a hundred times, those who survive will be sold, and the dead will be taken to the paupers' graveyard! Li Niang's crime is unforgivable, beat her to death with sticks!"

  The sound of the battle in the clouds was like it came from hell, and it sent shivers down one's spine!

  In an instant, the begging voices in the flower hall were endless, but Lao Die had not wavered in the slightest, ordering Guan to take those people to the courtyard for execution!

  This order scared Li Yiniang so much that she even forgot to beg for mercy, her eyes full of incredulity!

  Even Murong and Tong were startled!

  Looking at her father's face as cold as frost, with a fierce killing intent, she felt that this kindly old father was so unfamiliar to her! However, this is probably the true face of Father!

  Mo Mo didn't feel any disappointment in her heart. Although this time Old Father seemed a bit more ruthless, he was not only the master of Yunfu but also a great general, wasn't he? If he were soft-hearted, he wouldn't be that great general admired by all!

  Several robust women came in from outside, dragged Li Niang to the long bench, and it wasn't until the board hit her that she came back to her senses in pain. However, she didn't shout a single sentence, but instead stared straight at Yun Zhan with infinite nostalgia in her eyes! But when she saw that person not even raising an eyebrow, her heart turned to ashes instantly! A pair of eyes hatefully stared at Tong Shi and Mo Mo, as if they wanted to turn this hatred into a tidal wave and engulf the mother-daughter duo!

  She was met with a cold, expressionless gaze. Everyone should pay the price for their own actions. As the saying goes, "what goes around comes around!" If you don't want to pay the price, then it's best to behave yourself and not do things that harm others and benefit no one!

  The dull thud of the board hitting her body made Madame Tong dare not look again, turning her eyes away. Li Niangzi was also tough, taking dozens of hits without crying out in pain, only the large beads of sweat on her forehead revealed how much she was hurting! Just as Li Niangzi was about to collapse from endurance, a loud shout came over.

  "Everybody stop!"

  Everyone looked at Yun Zhan's face and saw that he didn't say a word, so they stopped.

  The old lady walked in quickly with the support of Yunyue and Yunshi on either side, followed by Li's family who refused to leave!

  She took a glance at Li Niang, who was wounded and had fallen to the ground from the long bench, suppressed her anger, ordered the maid to help her up, and sent someone to find a doctor.

  Yun Yue saw her mother's miserable state, her eyes turned red, but she stared at Mo Mo, hating to pounce on her and bite her.

  Yun Zhan stood up from his chair, bowed to the old lady, and Tong Shi and Mo Mo also greeted her. However, the old lady turned her body sideways and sneered:

  "This old body is weak and frail, but I won't accept such vicious gifts from you wicked mother-daughter pair!"

  You think I'm willing to, huh? Mo heard this and pursed her lips, clenching her fists, forcing herself to suppress the urge to scold her, saying calmly:

  "To speak of this venom, I and my mother cannot bear it! My younger brothers and sisters almost starved to death, who is more venomous!"

  She also checked the account book and only then did she know that every month, those three aunts and several younger siblings' monthly allowance, this Li aunt had never issued. The slaves in the house were used to flattering and bullying, it can be imagined what kind of life they lived in this house!

  Although those women were her father's concubines and made her unhappy, after all, the children shared half of their blood with her, not to mention that they were innocent.

  The old lady was scolded by her, suddenly felt ashamed, and glared at her shouting: "What right does this dead girl have to interrupt here?"

  "Mother, what Meng'er said is true. My son has investigated and found that this wicked woman took advantage of her power to embezzle all the silver money in the mansion, mistreat those few grandsons of yours, and even falsely claimed that you knew about it and had taken all the silver for yourself. Such a treacherous and evil woman cannot be allowed to live, or else people will not be satisfied!"

  Yun Zhan is already very disappointed with what this woman has done, but what needs to be covered up still needs to be covered up. If we continue to investigate further, I'm afraid in the end she will be the one who ends up losing face!

  "Alright, you're really a good son to your mother! You actually dare to defy me for the sake of a dead girl! What kind of fate is this? The son I raised with such hardship and bitterness is so unfilial..."

  The old lady was clearly unappreciative and scolded Yun Zhan for being unfilial, crying and making a scene until Yun Zhan's eyes were red with anger!

  "Girl, are you going to force me to thoroughly investigate?"

  Can't stand your mother's crying and scolding anymore. Yun Zhan's temper also rose, his eyes stared straight at his mother, saying coldly.

  The old lady was taken aback by this, and for a moment she couldn't come back to her senses. Her son had never spoken to her in such a severe and loud tone before. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her son, who had always been so obedient to her, was getting farther and farther away from her.

  She came back to her senses and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and the people from the Yun and Li families also became uneasy.

  "What are you looking for? Those silvers were all used by your mother, what's wrong with that? Your mother raised you and spent some silver on you, do you have to argue with her about it?"

  Facing his mother's repeated questioning, Yun Zhan felt extremely helpless!

  "Mother, that's no small amount of money. In over a decade, it should be at least several hundred thousand taels! Where did you use them all? Tell your son!"

  Yun Zhan actually hopes that his mother will spend all the silver, what he fears is that she will take the silver out...

  "Where did the twenty million taels come from? Clearly there were only ten million!"

  The old lady was also startled when she heard twenty or thirty thousand taels.

  "Tens of thousands?"

  Yun Zhan was confused, the difference on this account was clearly over 200,000 taels, but suddenly he thought of something and turned his head sharply, looking at Li Niang who was being supported and gasping for breath, shouting:

  "What did you do with the rest of it, you cheap woman?"

  Mrs. Li, whose mind was somewhat unclear, was frightened by this shout and suddenly became much clearer. After realizing what had happened, her face turned deathly pale and she was terrified.
