Chapter 110 The Yun Family Has Many Affairs
Night fell slowly like a giant black curtain, and the whole world seemed to be swallowed up into endless darkness.
Everyone waited with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation for the arrival of this seemingly ordinary yet fraught night.
Some people had unease and anxiety in their eyes, while others were pale and trembling involuntarily, looking as if they might be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.
The culprit behind all this was the mysterious list that Jing Sheng held tightly in his hands.
This list is like a sharp dagger hanging over the hearts of many, listing the names of corrupt officials and records of those who bought and sold their official positions through improper means.
Without a doubt, many people are destined to toss and turn, unable to eat or sleep, on this late night.
As long as what Jing Sheng did is not completely resolved and ended, their fate is like being tied to their belts with a thin thread, constantly in a state of uncertainty about life and death.
Among these people filled with anxiety, Yun Ting was naturally present.
After all, his official position was not exactly cleanly obtained, and now he felt extremely uneasy.
Yun Juan originally had a strong aversion to seeing people from the Prime Minister's residence, and the thought of not wanting to go out grew wildly in her heart like a vine.
However, with her mother still in the Prime Minister's residence, she knew she couldn't disobey her mother's orders. Reluctantly, she put down the book she was engrossed in, her face filled with sorrow. The unwillingness in her eyes seemed to speak of the struggle and resistance deep within her heart.
"Qinghe, can I really not go?" she asked the maid beside her again, her tone pleading.
Even now, she still felt annoyed and resistant to the people from the Prime Minister's residence she was about to face, constantly complaining in her heart: "There are just too many things to do in the Prime Minister's residence. I have to get up early every day and attend all sorts of gatherings from time to time. Where is there any leisurely time? I finally managed to transmigrate here, not to live a busy life like working 996, but to be able to sleep until I naturally wake up and enjoy a life of relaxation."
While carefully combing her young mistress's hair, Qinghe gently comforted her, "Miss, you mustn't be so willful. These are people from the palace. Even the people in the Prime Minister's residence don't dare to offend them easily. As the saying goes, 'All land under heaven belongs to the king,' we can't afford to offend them. Just bear with it a little longer. Getting through this is much better than losing your life."
Qinghe's words made perfect sense, which made Yun Juan smile bitterly. She said, "Look at you, you little rascal. You usually look so dull and silly, but now you know how to talk back to your young lady with your literary skills. Alright, it seems I'll have to spend more time studying in the future. I can't let you catch up with my knowledge so quickly."
After saying that, she sighed softly, a resolute glint in her eyes, as if she were ready to face what was to come.
Yun Juan's soft, teasing words seemed to possess a magical power, causing Qinghe's originally fair face to flush instantly, as if ignited by a raging fire. The blush, like a magnificent sunset, gradually spread across her entire cheeks, making her look like a perfectly ripe apple, radiating an alluring glow. She was so adorable that one couldn't help but feel tenderness, wanting to gently stroke her, and even feeling an irresistible urge to take a bite.
Yun Quan, on the other hand, has always been open-minded and did not hold a grudge against Qing He for her outspokenness.
You must understand, she comes from the modern world, where the mindset is very different from here. People there don't have the same deep-rooted concept of hierarchy as people in ancient times. Therefore, she has never been harsh in the slightest towards the people around her, whether it's a close maid like Qinghe or the other servants in her courtyard.
And those young girls, full of youthful vigor and vitality, under her influence, seemed to break free of their reins and become wild horses galloping joyfully. Their usual reserved and shy demeanor disappeared without a trace, replaced by an increasingly lively and cheerful personality.
They would laugh and joke around in front of Yun Juan, showing their most authentic selves without any reservations.
At this moment, Qinghe pouted her pink lips slightly, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous light, and said coquettishly, "Miss, you always tease your servant."
As she spoke, she stomped her feet a few times in a rather cute way, revealing endless playfulness and agility in her small movements. Meanwhile, her hands continued to move without stopping, as if everything was so natural and harmonious, a perfect match made in heaven.
She knew that her charming young lady always scoffed at overly complicated hairstyles, so she simply used her nimble hands to tidy it up a little, and her hair looked perfectly neat, without the slightest sign of being messy.
As for her clothes, they chose a rather elegant white as the main color, with a few blue irises cleverly embroidered on the cuffs. Overall, the person seemed to be shrouded in a faint, cool aura, exuding a sense of indifference and aloofness that kept people at a distance.
When Yun Quan hurriedly arrived at the spacious and bright hall, she looked around and found that everyone had already gathered together, except for the old lady who had not yet appeared.
Yun Juan thought to herself, "We've come far too early this time. Next time, I'll definitely come a little later. It would be one thing if this old lady didn't come herself, but she has such a big face, ordering her servants to make a scene for everyone, insisting on putting on this high and mighty act. Could it be that just because she's older, she can act so recklessly?"
Just as her thoughts were racing, the old lady, with Yun Rong's careful support, slowly moved her unhurried little steps toward the main hall.
When she saw that everyone was chatting enthusiastically and no one had noticed her arrival, a barely perceptible anger suddenly appeared on her originally calm face. She couldn't help but cover her mouth slightly and cough a few times to remind everyone of her presence.
Upon hearing the cough, everyone immediately fell silent, huddling together like quails.
