Chapter 22: A Young Girl Sells Herself to Bury Her Father
Yun Juan took out several darts from her spatial storage, walked to the corridor outside the private room, and threw them directly at Yun Rong's hair.
The dart flew in a beautiful arc and pierced Yun Rongshu's hair bun.
People around her were so frightened that they scattered. Even her two best friends kept a good distance from her, afraid that the next dart would hit them on the head.
"You say you're the eldest daughter of the Yun family, then stop occupying the position without doing anything. How about I give you the marriage contract with the Regent?" Yun Juan's few words left Yun Rong speechless.
She dared not argue further, fearing that she might actually end up marrying him!
Meanwhile, the onlookers seemed to have figured something out and began to whisper among themselves.
Seeing that people around her were starting to point and whisper about her, Yunrong instinctively grabbed her maid and fled the scene.
Yun Juan stretched and pulled Qing He into the private room!
"Miss, didn't you see her face? It turned a liverish color! And the way she ran away like that, as if she was afraid someone would catch up with her, pfft hahaha..." Qinghe couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh!
"Got it? If you want to roast someone, you have to hit their sore spot! Otherwise, there's no point in listening to her sophistry!" Yun Quan gave her a look that said, "Don't love me, loving me will lead nowhere."
Qinghe thought her young lady was incredibly amazing, and her eyes always sparkled when she looked at her.
He was practically clinging to Yun Quan!
"Hurry up and eat! The food's getting cold! My braised pork knuckle doesn't even smell good anymore!" Yun Juan said, picking up the knuckle and starting to gnaw on it.
Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It seemed that everything that happened to her young lady made sense.
As she ate the pig's trotter that Yun Juan had just put on her plate, she felt very happy and lucky to have met her young mistress.
If you're with someone else, you'll never have the chance to eat at the same table as your master, let alone experience something as fun as going out!
Yun Juan was extremely satisfied with the meal; she hadn't had such a pleasant meal in a long time!
As the two of them came out of Yunshuizhai, they saw a large crowd gathered on the roadside.
Yun Juan loved hearing gossip, so she naturally joined in.
There was a young girl kneeling on the ground, and a middle-aged man lying on a straw mat next to her.
“Miss, look… she’s so pitiful!” Qinghe pointed to the sign next to her that read “Selling herself to bury her father”.
Yun Juan didn't want to meddle, but the murmurs around her grew louder and louder.
"If I could marry such a beautiful woman, I can't even imagine how wonderful she would be! Hehe..."
"Zhang San, stop dreaming! If you were to marry her, do you think your shrewish wife would agree?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Li Si. It's not like your tigress would agree to that!"
Of course, some poor people couldn't help but feel sorry for them when they saw this.
"If this girl had run into those thugs, she'd probably be finished!"
"What a pitiful child!"
"yes……"
Yun Juan squeezed to the front, squatted down, and looked at the girl: "Can you read?"
“My father was a scholar before, and he taught me! I know some of it!” Although the girl was kneeling on the ground, she had a kind of tenacity and her eyes were unusually bright.
"Here, take care of your father's funeral arrangements! Come to Prime Minister Yun's residence to find me!" Yun Juan took out a silver note from her sleeve and stuffed it into the girl's hand.
The girl looked at the silver notes in her hand, somewhat alarmed: "Miss, this is too much! You've given me too much!"
"Buy your father the best coffin, and use the rest to buy yourself a couple of new clothes. It's getting cold, you can't keep wearing these!" Yun Juan pointed to the straw sandals on her feet, which had worn her feet raw, but she still couldn't bear to change them.
Because it was knitted for her by her father before he died, and she probably won't be able to wear it again.
After giving the girl the silver notes, Yun Juan and Qing He didn't go to the brokerage shop again, but went straight back to their residence!
We were chatting and laughing when we entered the courtyard and saw a spoilsport.
Prime Minister Yun and Yun Rong were waiting for him in the courtyard.
"Tell me, did you bully your sister today?!" Yun Ting slammed the dart that Yun Juan had just shot at Yun Rong's head onto the table!
Yun Juan shrugged: "My sister said I stole her status as a young lady! I didn't even refute it, so how did I bully her?"
"I just said, since she's the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, why don't we have her marry into the Prime Minister's family instead? What? Is that bullying?" Yun Juan found the two people in front of her rather amusing.
Yun Ting clearly hadn't expected this, but Yun Rong wasn't about to give up! She started again.
"Then you shouldn't have thrown the dart at my head! What if you accidentally hurt me..." Yun Rong gave Yun Ting a hint, a reminder.
Yun Ting was furious: "You were wrong to lay a hand on me, so go kneel down in the courtyard!"
"Prime Minister Yun is probably getting old and can't remember things properly, is he? By what right do you have to make demands of me?" Yun Juan's face was a mixture of coldness and sarcasm.
"What right do you have to call me your father?!" Yun Ting slammed his fist on the table in anger!
"Stop taking pictures, that rock is harder than your claws! No wonder he's Yun Rong's father, like father, like son, they're both not very bright! Luckily I took after my mother!" Yun Juan rolled her eyes at them and went back to her room.
Yun Ting and Yun Rong were left alone, bewildered in the wind.
"Rong'er, let's take a detour from now on! Let's avoid provoking her if we can!" Yun Ting was also quite helpless about this daughter.
She doesn't play by the rules at all; she'll criticize anyone who wants to, without giving anyone any face!
Yun Rong couldn't help but think to herself, "Hmph! What a useless piece of trash! He can't even handle a little girl. I don't know how he became prime minister after all these years!"
But she maintained a pitiful expression: "Father, it's alright! It's nothing for Rong'er to suffer a little! It's just that you've been scolded along with me!"
As she spoke, Yunrong's tears fell again.
Yun Ting was also annoyed by the disturbance: "Let's go! Your grandmother should be awake by now, you should go and see her!"
He waved his hand and quickly left the courtyard, not wanting to stay for even a second, for fear that the girl would come out and humiliate him again!
Yun Juan led Qing He into the house and burst into laughter!
"Waaaaah... Father, my sister beat me up and I'm hurt! It really hurts!" Yun Juan imitated Yun Rong.
Qinghe and Qingmiao were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.
"Miss...you've imitated it so well! You've captured the essence perfectly!" Qingmiao gave Yun Juan a thumbs up.
"Hmph, this little white lotus probably couldn't get anywhere by complaining to Prime Minister Yun, so she went to complain to the old lady! Do you believe it or not?" Yun Juan had an expression that said, "I know what you mean."
"Huh? Could it really be a double standard?" Qinghe was a little incredulous!
"How about we make a bet? We bet she'll go complain to the old lady again!" Yun Juan took out some loose silver from her spatial storage and wanted to make a bet with her bunch of little maids.
