After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 134 The Yong'an Lane Farce

When Granny Zhang turned around, she immediately scrambled towards the spot, crying out, "Young Master, you've finally arrived! This old servant was only worried that the young lady would be swindled out of her money by a poor relative, but I never expected him to become so enraged and try to attack me! If you hadn't come, this old servant would have been beaten to death!"

As she spoke, Granny Zhang gave Su Chunlin and the others an arrogant look before hiding behind Zhu Yixuan.

Ke Yunyun was terrified and hurriedly stepped forward to anxiously explain, "Young master, it's not like that, please let Yunyun explain."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ke Yunyun felt dizzy and fell to the side.

Zhu Yixuan instinctively rushed forward, caught the person, and shouted at his attendants, "Hurry up and fetch a doctor!"

Granny Zhang was caught off guard when Ke Yunyun suddenly fainted, and panicked. Seeing Zhu Yixuan carry Ke Yunyun into the house, she immediately chased after him, saying, "Young master, you can leave me here."

While waiting for the doctor, Zhu Yixuan kept a long face and didn't say a word. Granny Zhang complained from time to time, "Young master, the young lady's health was already much better. It must have been their anger that caused her old illness to relapse and faint. In my opinion, you should talk to the young lady and tell her not to let those cats and dogs come to the door to disturb her peace in the future."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Xi exclaimed anxiously, but she was also trembling and lacked confidence.

Granny Zhang immediately retorted loudly, "How am I talking nonsense? You tell me, hasn't the girl been perfectly healthy for the past six months? If they hadn't come to cause trouble today, would she have fainted?"

“It’s all because of you,” Xiao Xi retorted.

"Enough! Shut up, both of you!" Zhu Yixuan glared at the two of them with a gloomy face.

The two were so frightened that they didn't dare to utter a sound.

He looked at Su Chunlin and saw that Su Chunlin looked tense. Although he was dressed plainly, he stood up straight and was not afraid at all.

He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The doctor arrived after a while.

Only then did everyone turn their attention to Ke Yunyun on the bed.

"Doctor, how is she?" Zhu Yixuan asked anxiously as soon as the doctor finished taking her pulse.

The doctor chuckled and said, "This young woman is pregnant. She fainted because she was so angry that she had a heart attack and threatened the fetus. If she rests well, there won't be any major problems. I'll prescribe some medicine to help with the pregnancy, and you can brew it for her to take. However, pregnancy is always difficult for women, so it's best to give her a comfortable environment."

The doctor went on and on about some things, but Zhu Yixuan didn't remember any of them. All he knew was that Ke Yunyun was pregnant with his child.

The immense surprise made it impossible for him to suppress the smile that was on his face.

After the doctor left, Granny Zhang immediately congratulated Zhu Yixuan, "Congratulations, young master, congratulations!"

She knew about the Zhu family's situation. Zhu Yixuan's first wife, Cui, had given birth to a sickly son, but then stopped having children. They only had two daughters born out of wedlock, so they had very few children.

Now that Ke Yunyun is pregnant, it is absolutely a great joy for Zhu Yixuan. Granny Zhang can foresee how Zhu Yixuan will cherish Ke Yunyun.

She immediately stood motionless by Ke Yunyun's bedside, putting on the appearance of a loyal servant protecting his mistress.

Ke Yunyun slowly woke up and was terrified when she saw Granny Zhang's old face. She instinctively cried out in fear, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi!" Xiao Xi quickly ran over and pushed Granny Zhang away. "Miss, I'm here! I'll protect you, it's alright! The doctor said you're pregnant, so you mustn't get too excited."

Madam Wan added, "Yes, Yunyun, you're carrying two babies now, so you have to be careful."

Zhu Yixuan stepped forward and gently pulled Ke Yunyun into his arms, treating her like a precious treasure. "You were already weak, and now you're pregnant. You have to be careful in everything you do. Should I find two more people to take care of you?"

Ke Yunyun was so frightened that she quickly shook her head, her voice trembling with tears, "Thank you for your mercy, young master, but Yunyun is not so precious and does not need so many people to serve her. Young master, can I have only Xiaoxi take care of me?"

Zhu Yixuan glanced at Granny Zhang subconsciously, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Granny Zhang turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down to apologize and beg for forgiveness. "Young lady, young lady, I was just worried that you might be cheated out of your money, so I spoke a little harshly. Please don't misunderstand me!"

Wan couldn't help but sneer, "Misunderstanding? You sleep until noon every day, saying you're taking care of our Yunyun, but in the end, our Yunyun has to cook and serve you. We're just here to see our niece, and every time we bring a bunch of things, do you see us taking money from Yunyun? Every time we come, you give us attitude and won't open the door unless we give you some benefits."

I understand, after all, we elders are either servants or country folk, we don't have much experience, so it's understandable that you look down on me. But not only do you hold onto my niece's money, you've also turned against her and become her master, it's truly hateful!"

"Granny Zhang, is everything she said true?" Zhu Yixuan stared intently at Granny Zhang with sharp eyes.

Granny Zhang trembled with fear and hurriedly tried to explain, "Young master, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! This old servant was only worried that the young lady would be deceived, so I was managing the money for her. I absolutely had no intention of keeping it for myself!"

Xiao Xi's face flushed red with anger. "You're talking nonsense! I saw you take the girl's jewelry out to pawn it for money with my own eyes, and you still say you didn't! Young master, if you don't believe me, you can ask her to take out the girl's money and jewelry, and she will know once she counts them."

Granny Zhang's face turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes filled with panic.

What else did Zhu Yixuan not understand? However, he did not immediately punish Granny Zhang, but instead made her bring out Ke Yunyun's money and jewelry and count them in front of him.

He didn't realize it until he looked, and even he himself noticed something was wrong.

He still remembered some jewelry he had bought for Ke Yunyun, but now not only were most of the items gone, but the two most valuable pieces were also missing.

"You treacherous, ungrateful wretch!" Zhu Yixuan kicked Granny Zhang hard.

Granny Zhang cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, groaning.

Seeing that Ke Yunyun was somewhat frightened, Zhu Yixuan restrained his temper and ordered his attendants to drag Granny Zhang out.

Su Chunlin looked at Ke Yunyun with concern, but Ke Yunyun shook her head at him. He then said goodbye to Zhu Yixuan, “Young Master Zhu, we won’t get involved in your family affairs. Today is obviously not a good time to visit. I’ll come again tomorrow, mainly to check on my niece. After all, her father is coming soon, and I, as her uncle, can’t be completely ignorant.”

"Uncle, you're too kind. I was negligent today. I will certainly treat you well when you come again tomorrow." Zhu Yixuan personally saw Su Chunlin and Madam Wan off before closing the door to resolve the issue.

"Yunyun, tell me honestly, how many other evil deeds has that old hag done? Today I will definitely stand up for you and seek justice for you!" Zhu Yixuan vowed.

Granny Zhang was as if she had lost her parents.

Ke Yunyun lay gratefully in his arms with tears in her eyes. "I am already very grateful that you care about me. I don't want to bring up those things from the past anymore. Just take Granny Zhang away and I won't pursue the matter any further."
