Chapter 140: Chapter 138 The Lord’s Own Responsibility (Second Update)

Yun Qiucheng and Yun Kuang were both taken aback.

Yun Qiucheng held back for a moment but finally couldn’t help saying, "Yun Qi, I didn’t want to argue with you considering you’re young and lost your parents. But don’t think I don’t know about your aunt and Yun Ying’s issues. Now you’re meddling in my affairs, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yun Qi blinked, understandingly saying, "No need to thank me for your aunt and Sister Ying’s issues; it was just a small effort."

Yun Qiucheng: "..."

He turned to Yun Kuang, feeling like he was about to burst with anger, took a deep breath, "How dare you say that! Who wants to thank you! If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t have just left the country, and now they won’t even tell me what happened. I..."

"Oh, it seems your aunt and Sister Ying do have some shame; I thought they’d come to you to complain."

Yun Qiucheng felt like he couldn’t control his temper anymore. If it weren’t for the fact that both parents of the third child perished, leaving only this orphan girl, he would definitely teach her a lesson about respect for elders and juniors.

Yun Kuang, seeing him so upset, hurriedly reassured, "Dad, Dad, don’t get worked up. It really isn’t Qi’s fault about Mom and Yun Ying; she’s been very gracious..."

"And you dare to speak! Yun Ying said you betrayed your family, and now it turns out to be true. Have you forgotten she’s your sister!"

Yun Kuang, reprimanded, was also angry. His father had no idea what happened and only believed Yun Ying’s one-sided story.

Unexpectedly, Yun Qi suddenly spread out his design drawings, almost wanting to put them on his forehead, "Uncle, see for yourself, here... here... all problems. Adults always teach children to admit their mistakes; why can’t you do the same?"

"You’re talking nonsense, where are the problems!" Yun Qiucheng took the design sketches, all based on the Lord’s requirements, using all his knowledge of Five Elements Feng Shui, and there wasn’t a single flaw to be found.

"If uncle doesn’t believe it, then wait until tomorrow. Qi will correct them for you one by one and clear your grievances."

Saying this, Yun Qi took Yun Kuang’s hand to leave.

Yun Kuang, caught in a dilemma, still followed Yun Qi out, repeatedly comforting Yun Qiucheng, "Dad, you rest first; Qi can handle everything."

"Hey, you—" Yun Qiucheng watched helplessly as his son left, angrily punching himself, "This ungrateful kid, clearly siding with outsiders!"

***

Early the next morning, Yun Qi got up early, changed into blue overall shorts, with her little teddy bear hanging on her chest.

After breakfast, she asked the Lord to gather all the staff involved in the palace construction at the site.

Since construction started years ago, part of the palace was already finished, and the other part was under intense construction, with the landscape taking basic shape.

The island sun was scorching, baking the earth, and palm trees swayed gently in the breeze.

Everyone gathered inside a building near the site, overlooking the entire construction scene through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Lord lazily lounged on the sofa, surrounded by officials, businessmen, and professionals related to the palace construction. Several local priests, dressed in colorful robes, hunched their backs, looking ancient yet maintaining the usual indifference.

Yun Qiucheng was also released and, seeing the Lord, his eyes were extremely complex.

The Lord glanced at him indifferently, "Mr. Yun, we meet again. I promised you a chance to explain yourself, and the Yun Family can send people to help prove your innocence. Now that they are here, we can begin."

He made a gesture.

Yun Qi stepped out from the crowd, and everyone, seeing it was a child, couldn’t help but discuss.

"Is this a joke, what can a kid do?"

"I think the Hai City Yun Family is just like this, no successors, so they have to send a child over."

"By doing this, the Yun Family is treating us like fools. If I were the Lord, I’d just lock them up without giving any chance to explain."

...

Yun Qi, hands clasped behind her back like a little adult, waited quietly for everyone to finish talking.

Then she smiled brightly, "Everyone, Qi won’t waste words and will directly address my uncle’s design drawings."

She took out the design sketches, stood on tiptoe, but still couldn’t reach the long table.

Others burst into laughter, even the usually stern priests couldn’t help but tug their lips into smirks.

"Seems like the Yun Family is out of talent," the lead High Priest, dressed most splendidly, shook his head at the priests beside him.

Yun Kuang hurried over, helped Yun Qi spread the drawings on the table, and pulled over a chair to lift Yun Qi onto it.

"Qi, don’t be nervous." He feared the laughter would hurt Qi.

"Don’t worry, Qi isn’t nervous; it’s others who should be," Yun Qi waved her hand like a little adult, signaling Yun Kuang to return to the group.

Then she frowned at the drawings, seemingly considering where to start.

The leading High Priest shouted, "Little girl, if you can’t see any problems, better step down early, nobody will blame you."

Yun Qi didn’t even look at him, shook her head as if talking to herself, "There are many problems, not sure where to begin."

Yun Qiucheng clenched his fist nervously, recalling what his niece said last night—

He knew this little girl didn’t have good intentions; now it seemed he would be ruined by her.

Yun Qi suddenly looked up at the Lord, "Lord, I think the design drawings have issues, mostly because of you. Without you, these problems wouldn’t exist."

The Lord was startled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Clearly, it’s your uncle’s issue, yet you dare blame me."

"Let me ask you, at the beginning did you request the palace design to follow the Five Elements Feng Shui, incorporating auspicious signs?"

"Yes, so what?"

"So what?! If it were Qi, I hate people like you who pretend to know everything, laymen guiding professionals the most."

Yun Qi snorted, the clear and childish voice full of anger, pointing at the drawings, "See for yourself!"

"The drawings indicate which parts are my uncle’s design and which were added based on your suggestions. Initially, my uncle’s design had no problems, but your self-assertive additions caused the yin and yang imbalance, turning things bad."

The Lord rose angrily, striding to Yun Qi’s side, "You better explain clearly, or don’t blame me for being rude to the Yun Family."

Yun Qi raised her chin, her childish voice very defiant, "I knew you’d resort to threats. Once I clarify, don’t cry."
