Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Sister, Aunt 2 committed suicide by crashing into a wall

Yan Wanqing had been tossed and turned all night, and when she woke up, she found her body dry and her clothes changed.

The near-noon sunlight streamed in through the crack of the door, and she could see dust dancing in the air. The surroundings were serene, her bedding still held the scent of gardenias from his body, all of which made her somewhat dazed.

Time seemed to slow down.

Because of this person.

She clutched her rapidly beating chest, her eyes full of confusion; she didn’t quite understand the existence of this emotion.

"Miss, are you awake?" A gentle knocking sound came from outside the door, accompanied by Cong Ge’s tender voice.

Yan Wanqing coughed and said, "I’m up."

Cong Ge then led the maids in to prepare her for washing up.

While dressing, Cong Ge told her about the commotion in the front courtyard. Yan Wanqing learned that Sun Wenxing had been taken back by the people from the General Residence, and now only Yan Minsheng was left in Dali Temple.

Lady Liu of the Yan family was crying her heart out in the room, causing even the old lady to shed a few crocodile tears.

Yan An had been running out numerous times all morning and had just returned.

It could be said that the second branch was extraordinarily lively.

While they were talking, Yan Hongzhao’s voice came from the courtyard; she rushed in like a red sparrow, her face full of urgency.

"Sister, Second Aunt has committed suicide by running into a wall!"

Yan Wanqing was stunned, then asked, "She’s dead?"

"No, she just fainted from the impact. Mother asked me to come and see if you would come over, the Old Lady is furious."

Yan Hongzhao explained.

Upon hearing that Lady Liu hadn’t died, Yan Wanqing’s movements slowed.

"The Old Lady’s scolding was quite harsh, saying that mother did not consider family harmony, and didn’t allow anyone to bring back Yan Minsheng, trying to drive Second Aunt and Second Uncle to their deaths, then Lady Liu started crying and knocked herself against a pillar," Yan Hongzhao briefly explained the cause and consequence.

Upon hearing the Old Lady scolding the Sun Family, a bloodthirsty glint flickered in Yan Wanqing’s eyes, but she quickly masked it.

"How did Sun Wenxing get back, do you know?" Logically speaking, Xie Qun knew her intentions and shouldn’t have easily let Sun Wenxing out, she wondered how the Sun family managed to get the person back.

"According to Second Uncle, the Sun Family cousin shifted all the evidence onto his brother, clearing himself, and then he was taken out," Yan Hongzhao shared the news she had heard.

Yan Wanqing sneered after hearing this, "Birds of a feather, he really can clear himself out."

"Now after Second Uncle and Second Aunt found out about this, they’ve been driven mad. Now their whole family is blocking mother’s Buddhist hall, insisting on forcing mother to rescue their cousin."

"They’re making a fuss in the Buddhist hall?" Yan Wanqing frowned, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Let’s go and see."

Upon hearing that this family was causing a commotion in the Buddhist hall of Mrs. Sun, she could no longer hold herself back and took the lead out the door.

Yan Hongzhao followed closely behind, feeling somewhat aggrieved, "I came in too much of a hurry, so I forgot."

"Is there anyone with mother?" As Yan Wanqing came out, she casually called for a few servants to follow behind, ready for any emergency.

"Sixth sister is with mother." Yan Hongzhao wanted to stay behind, but today Sixth Sister’s health looked particularly poor, she even had a nosebleed during prayer, but since she was fast and in good health, she ran over first to inform her elder sister.

Yan Wanqing nodded and quickened her pace.

When they arrived, she found Lady Liu, who was said to have fainted, sitting on the steps, leaning on her maid, and breathing heavily with a hot cloth on her head like a tired ox.

In the Buddhist hall, Second Uncle was fiercely saying something to his mother, while the mother, with a cold face, turned her prayer beads, protecting Yan Lingzhen behind her.

"...I have only one son, my sister-in-law also has children, how can she watch as we send someone to exile two thousand miles away, where he might die?" Yan An continued to press forward towards Mrs. Sun.

Yan Wanqing signaled Yan Hongzhao with her eyes, and Yan Hongzhao directly leaped forward, standing in front of Mrs. Sun.

Yan Wanqing ascended the steps: "Second Uncle, if you have something to say, speak calmly. The Buddhist hall is a place of purity; let’s not disturb the Buddha."

Yan An burst with anger the moment he saw Yan Wanqing, "You still have the nerve to come here!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Just because Wanqing refused to marry the seventh Prince to help our branch out of a predicament, you hold that against me? Uncle, you are an official of the Imperial Court, how can you be so petty?"

Yan An, face livid with rage, "He is your own brother, how can you say such heartless things? It’s really cold-blooded!"

As he confronted her, Yan Wanqing didn’t indulge him, "Cousin brother personally killed a living girl, according to the legal regulations he suffered punishment at Dali Temple, which was thoroughly justified. Or does uncle think that the girl’s life didn’t count as a life?"

Yan An snickered, "She was just a brothel hooker from Fireworks Lane, there are plenty of them around. One dies today, two die tomorrow, it’s hardly something rare. Minsheng just got involved with the underworld, and people plotted against him, that’s why he was taken to Dali Temple; otherwise, there would be no issue."

Yan Wanqing thought to herself that her uncle had been busy running around these past days, and rightly knew that Yan Minsheng had been framed.

Ironically, the person who framed him was standing right here.

They insisted on causing trouble in her Fireworks Lane, and tragically ended up killing Chai You’s sister, Chai Shu.

This account surely needed to be settled with Yan Minsheng and Sun Wenxing.

"Now the judgment from Dali Temple is exile for a thousand miles. The Sun Family, maliciously one step ahead, fished Sun Wenxing out, leaving only my son alone, turning a thousand miles into two thousand," Yan Liu’s mother came to her senses and sobbed quietly to one side.

It seems they had made enough trouble for now, and she hadn’t much energy left to continue.

Yan An, his face grey with anger, "This matter cannot be detached from the Sun Family, the incident in Fireworks Lane was led by Sun Wenxing; my son was implicated in his schemes. How is it now that they can clear themselves so completely... Sister-in-law, this is your Sun Family’s doing; you owe us an explanation."

"Exile?" Yan Wanqing was stunned.

How could it be exile?

Could it be because Chai Shu was of low status? And because Sun Wenxing and Yan Minsheng were from official families, was that why Dali Temple only sentenced them to exile...

With Sun Wenxing already rescued, given her uncle’s character, Yan Minsheng’s release was only a matter of time.

Yan Wanqing couldn’t help but wonder if Chai You still stood by her initial choices now.

To believe in the fairness of this world.

She wanted to watch dispassionately as Chai You’s world crumbled completely, and then reach out to tell him that only by believing in her, Yan Wanqing, could he achieve true revenge.

"What do you want to do, uncle?" Yan Wanqing asked flatly.

A scheming glint in Yan An’s eyes, he sneered, "Either he comes out, or we’re all exiled together; it was a joint affair, why should the Sun Family be so clean!"

"If the Sun Family does not step up to resolve this matter, tomorrow I will lodge a formal complaint!" His words now carried a threat, directing pressure towards Madam Sun.

"Why should uncle bother to lodge a complaint, why not tidy up now and follow me into the palace, I could bring you directly before the Emperor?" Yan Wanqing didn’t mince her words—she was not one to be frightened easily.

No sooner had Yan An bragged than Wanqing had him cornered, and his face went from green to white, looking extremely uncomfortable.

This young girl was really too aggravating.

"Fine, let’s go, I am not afraid of you!" Yan An said defiantly, heading towards the door.

Yan Wanqing snorted coldly and followed.

Just then, Madam Sun, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"Wait."

She looked at Yan An and Yan Wanqing, "I will return to the Sun Family today and settle this matter."

Yan Wanqing frowned, "Mother!"

Madam Sun gave her a nod, "I have made up my mind. Let’s end it at this. It shouldn’t reach the Emperor’s ears, or it will be another blow to Township Manor."

Yan Wanqing naturally knew what her mother was thinking, but to damage her own interests to shield the second branch was not something she was foolishly willing to do.

Thinking this, her gaze in the air met with Yan Hongzhao, standing behind Madam Sun.

Since that’s the case, why not stoke the fire a little more.
