Chapter 186 is also a muddle-headed person.

When she finally admitted it, Madam Qi was furious.

If it weren't for that maid's loose tongue, none of this would have happened.

It's not a big deal that Yun Yao died, but it caused Yun Wei to be cursed by others, bear the crime of murder, and be misunderstood by her father-in-law.

She heard from Yun Qi that this morning, her father-in-law went to the county princess's mansion and slapped Yun Wei.

Of course, the father-in-law didn't get away with it either; he was punched twice by the regent on the spot.

Fortunately, Yunwei was a county princess and the regent's fiancée. Even with such a accusation of murder, she could still clear her name. Otherwise, she would probably have been imprisoned by the yamen runners when the incident occurred, and she would have truly been wrongfully imprisoned.

Qi Shi became angrier the more she thought about it, and truly felt that Yun Yao was a wicked person.

And this Cymbidium goeringii is also an example.

The whole thing started because of her.

Thinking of this, she said in a deep voice, "If you hadn't been so talkative, how could the Third Miss have gone astray? In the end, she was killed and even caused the Second Miss to be misunderstood. You truly deserve to die!"

Chunlan's face turned pale, filled with regret and fear. She had only coveted the Third Miss's money; she had never intended to harm anyone...

But the Third Miss and Yinshuang were two living, breathing human lives...

"This servant knows she was wrong, please forgive this servant, Madam..." Chunlan crawled on her knees to Qi Shi's feet, pleading for mercy.

Qi frowned, about to speak, when Yun Yueshan and Xu walked in.

The former's face was terribly grim, while the latter's was filled with resentment.

"Chunlan, you wretched maid, I have treated you well, and this is how you repay me?" Madam Xu's face turned ashen.

Chunlan was her head maid in the courtyard, and she didn't hide many things from her.

Unexpectedly, that very night, she had just discussed with the Marquis about sending Yun Yao away from the capital when Chunlan ran off to tell Yun Yao.

The fact that she did it so skillfully shows that she had revealed quite a bit about what happened in her yard to others.

The more Xu thought about it, the angrier she became; she even felt like tearing Chunlan apart.

Chunlan was so frightened that she turned pale and knelt there trembling like a leaf.

As soon as the two entered, they confronted Chunlan, clearly having overheard what Chunlan had just said. Qi was not surprised by this.

Because it was she who asked Yun Qi to invite the two of them over.

The two didn't believe that Yun Yao's kidnapping was a staged act, and Yun Wei was too lazy to prove it to them, so they wanted to help Yun Wei out.

So that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would know what kind of character their adopted daughter, whom they had always doted on, was.

"Father, Mother, you must have heard what Chunlan just said, right? It was because this wretched maid secretly told her that you were going to send Yunyao away that she couldn't think straight and teamed up with thugs to stage that kidnapping. First, it would make you give up the idea; second, it would also frame Yunwei."

Yun Yao never expected that the thugs would turn their backs on her, kill her, and then frame Yun Wei for the crime.

Weiwei was so wronged; not only was she insulted, but she was also slapped by her father.

"I wonder if Yun Yao is satisfied with this outcome in the afterlife?" Qi said with a heavy heart.

Yun Yueshan felt a pang of regret when he thought about rushing to the county princess's mansion and slapping Yun Wei. His expression became uneasy, but upon hearing this, he showed dissatisfaction towards Madam Qi.

"No matter what, Yao Yao is already dead. Respect for the dead is paramount. Don't say anything unpleasant that will prevent her from resting in peace," Yun Yueshan reprimanded.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi sneered inwardly. Her father-in-law really doted on Yun Yao. Even though Yun Yao had done something wrong, he couldn't bear to say a single word of criticism to her.

She sighed and said, "Yes, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. No matter how many evil or wrong things she did in her life, she will be forgiven. But the living have to take responsibility for her mistakes. It's so unfair."

Yun Yueshan was furious.

His daughter-in-law's sarcastic tone made it clear to him that she was standing up for Yunwei.

He sneered and said sarcastically, "You keep claiming to be indignant on Yunwei's behalf, saying that Yunyao conspired with thugs to frame her. What evidence do you have? She's dead and can't confront you, so you can say whatever you want. But the faces of you two are truly disgusting. Just because Yunwei is in power now, you've abandoned all pretense of decency to speak up for her." Qi was so angry at his words that her heart pounded, and she spoke without restraint, "No wonder people say that those who are favored are fearless, while those who are not loved are wrong no matter what they do. To be honest, Yunyao's current predicament is inextricably linked to your father-in-law's doting."

Yun Yao's willful, selfish, and vicious nature was shaped by her father-in-law's favoritism towards her.

The evidence is right in front of you, and you still want to exonerate Yun Yao?

Why would the thug she conspired with impersonate Yun Wei? Isn't it obvious? It was all to frame Yun Wei!

"How dare you speak to me like that, as my daughter-in-law?" Yun Yueshan was furious.

Qi used to respect her father-in-law because he seemed very dignified, but after what happened with Yun Yao, she finally saw him for who he really was.

However, he is also a muddle-headed person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

"Enough!" Xu Shi couldn't help but speak up, "Things have already come to this, why do you still need to protect Yun Yao?"

She initially felt guilty and regretful about Yun Yao's death, but after learning that Yun Yao had gone so far as to collude with thugs to frame Yun Wei, she was left with only disappointment.

He also regretted spoiling her too much in the past, indulging her in everything, and raising her to be such a selfish and vicious person.

Yun Yueshan was so angry that he turned and left.

Qi shook her head.

She thought her father-in-law would feel guilty towards Yunwei after realizing he had misunderstood her.

Unexpectedly, he not only felt no remorse, but also wanted to protect Yun Yao.

It seems that the living can never win against the dead.

When a person dies, the evil deeds they committed vanish, and no one will blame them.

Finally, Xu had Chunlan beaten up and then sold off.

……

Yun Wei was unaware of what had happened in the Yun family.

After leaving the Yun family, she went straight back to the county princess's residence.

On the way back, the journey was smooth and there were no obstacles or people blocking the way.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Aman and Xuanyuan Jing arrive.

"Weiwei (Sister Yun), are you alright?" The two women approached her with concern.

"It's nothing," Yun Wei said with a smile, shaking her head.

Seeing the two people's concerned expressions, the frustration she felt at the Yun family's house vanished completely.

She never had any hope or illusions about Yun Yueshan, her biological father, because her adoptive parents loved her dearly when they were alive. Although she suffered a lot after her adoptive parents passed away, she met a very kind master.

Her master treated her like his own daughter, so she was not lacking in love and did not need to get it from her biological father who had never raised her.

Three years ago, when she returned to the Yun family, she had hoped for family affection.

But that glimmer of hope had long since vanished because of the Yun family's attitude.

She might have felt a little sad when the Yun family treated her badly in the past, but after being disappointed so much, she no longer cares about them.

But she would remember the time Yun Yueshan slapped her.

She didn't fight back this time, which was considered repaying his kindness in saving her life. Next time she lay a hand on him, she wouldn't hold back.

Seeing her relaxed expression, Aman and Xuanyuan Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright. I was so worried when I heard the news. I wanted to kill all those gossipy people who talked badly about you," Xuan Yuanjing said angrily.
