Yun Xuan Zhi went out of Yun Xiang Fu while taking quick steps all the way. With Steward Zhao"s guiding they hopped onto the horseback and all the way advanced towards the direction of an old temple in the outskirts which had been abandoned for a very long time.
Meanwhile, Chu Fei Yang was accompanying Yun Qian Meng as they were having their lunch and during this time Xi Lin quickly approached outside the door. Seeing this situation Chu Fei Yang used the chopsticks to give Yun Qian Meng some eggplants then after putting them down he went out to hear Xi Lin"s report which was given in a lowered voice.
"What happened?" Seeing Chu Fei Yang leaving the table during their meal Yun Qian Meng was somewhat puzzled as she watched him came inside again.
"It"s not a big deal! It"s just Yun Xiang had driven Su Yuan away!" Chu Fei Yang spoke wearing a simple smile while pouring some hot soup in a bowl and then laying it down on the table before Yun Qian Meng,.
But Yun Qian Meng had actually seen his grave and stern expression when he came earlier yet when facing her he would always think about pretending as if everything was going well, allowing her to live in a world that he had created. This made Yun Qian Meng suddenly feel that the food was being tasteless and she immediately pushed away the bowl of soup in front of her. Seriously looking at Chu Fei Yang she asked "Is there something up in the imperial court?"
Having heard what was said Chu Fei Yang hooked up a smile. His heart feeling certain that his own expression had caused Yun Qian Meng to be curious, particularly when Yun Qian Meng insisted on asking about the matter. Perhaps he could only raise his hands and surrender. Chu Fei Yang could only manage to reply with "Earlier Xi Lin came to report saying that Yun Ruo Xue was found in an abandoned temple in the outskirts of the city!"
Seeing Chu Fei Yang was only telling the general information Yun Qian Meng slightly knitted up her brows as a somewhat bad premonition flashed through her mind. Afterwhich she spoke "Isn"t she inside the Chen w.a.n.g Fu? Why would she show up in an abandoned temple?"
Although Jiang Mu Chen had a natural disposition for being cold but it would be unlikely for him to go so far as to throw Yun Ruo Xue to an old temple. At most he would only lock his door and refuse to see her. Why would he go through a lot of trouble of taking her to the outskirts, would he not be doing more than what was being required?
Seeing that Yun Qian Meng had already became suspicious Chu Fei Yang held up her hand and placed it beside his lips and gently rubbed. After that he explained "Yun Ruo Xue was dishonored by a few beggars! Yun Xiang had already rushed over there to handle this matter. This is the family matter of Yun Xiang Fu, we must not meddle with it!"
Hearing such response Yun Qian Meng"s heart was greatly shocked. No wonder Chu Fei Yang had refused to mention this matter earlier. She had not expected that Yun Ruo Xue would encounter such kind of thing!
"I only permitted Steward Zhao to send her over to Chen w.a.n.g Fu, could it be that there had been a mishap in between?" The matter concerning the cancellation of the wedding had made Yun Qian Meng to suffer from being pushed aside by other people, If Yun Ruo Xue had truly lost her virginity to some beggars perhaps she would have no desire to live her life anymore.
Although Yun Qian Meng just wanted to teach Yun Ruo Xue a lesson but she had never thought of destroying the chast.i.ty that was extremely important to a woman during the ancient times. After all they were both women. Yun Qian Meng"s previous life was being a police officer naturally she would not want to see someone being raped. Perhaps among these people was someone included who wanted to take revenge on Yun Ruo Xue by the means of her hand.
And within Yun Xiang Fu the people who hated Yun Ruo Xue the most were Lao Taitai y and Yun Yi Yi yet among the two of them one was lying on the bed suffering from paralyzing stroke while the other was taken away by Governor Qian. Perhaps even if they wanted to do their tricks, it would still be less capable than desirable.
And Yun Yi Heng brothers were now staying inside Qing Hui Yuan with Guard Liu a.s.signing some servant to guard them. It was very possible that they would be unable to undertake the task.
The only other person remaining was only Steward Zhao himself. Thinking about the father of the man whom they met in the beginning of the year when they went to Su Cheng, he was the sworn brother of Zhao De. In addition to Steward Zhao who had been working under Su Qing for so many years very carefully, it was hard to avoid holding resentment towards Su Qing. Perhaps the one who intended to entrap Yun Ruo Xue, was most likely to be him!
"Zhao De!" What Yun Qian Meng could think of would definitely be something that Chu Fei Yang had also thought of. Yun Qian Meng just simply mentioned the name of Steward Zhao yet she saw Chu Fei Yang nodding his head towards her. After that he spoke "Those beggars weren"t really beggars, but the brothers of the dead Zhao Ming!"
Hearing him say this Yun Qian Meng slightly nodded her head. Zhao Ming had died because of helping Su Qing and her daughter yet Su Qing had not treated his family well. Perhaps it had caused the resentment. In addition to the declining relations.h.i.+p between Su Fu and Yun Xiang Fu, this people had planned their schems on Yun Ruo Xue. However, this Steward Zhao was quite bold. He had actually lend his hand in destroying Yun Ruo Xue. This time if he had deliberately spread this information out, perhaps the news regarding Da Xiaojie of Xiang Fu ordering people to entrap Er Xiaojie would become the widely circulated rumor.
This might cause hostility between Yun Xiang Fu and Chu Xiang Fu and the one who would truly benefit from it would perhaps be Su Fu.
"Don"t worry, although Yun Xiang is silly but he isn"t stupid. He"s tidying up Yun Xiang Fu, so as to avoid someone from having plans about framing yo!" Yun Qian Meng had not said anything yet Chu Fei Yang had already knew everything. Seeing her brows slightly knitted up he knew that she must have certainly thought of the relations.h.i.+ps between these official residences, then he spoke to console her.
"I have actually underestimated Zhao De. Underneath that face of flattery a vicious mind was concealed ! But, he had actually schemed against me, shouldn"t we return the favor to him?" A cold smile gradually was exposed on Yun Qian Meng face as she immediately stood up and went outside to personally tell Xi Lin of her own thoughts, allowing him to immediately deal with the task.
Chu Fei Yang just looked into her eyes which contained anger with a simple smile floating in the eyes. As long as it allowed her to cool down her temper even if they wanted to let Zhao De immediately disappear from their sight what harm would it do?
And during this time inside the abandoned temple Yun Xuan Zhi was on the edge of falling apart. He had never expected that Yun Ruo Xue would be humiliated like that. Looking down at Yun Ruo Xue who was lying straightly down in the middle of the rotten pile of straws, she was only covered by the utterly tattered inner clothes. Yun Xuan Zhi suddenly felt the unbearable heartache. He immediately removed his own outer clothing then draped them over her shoulders.
But before he could support Yun Ruo Zue up she got up as if seeing an enemy, grabbing Yun Xuan Zhi"s arm she bit on it ferociously…...
"Ruo Xue, I am daddy! Ruo Xue!" The unbearable pain spread through his arm. Seeing his daughter"s eyes being lifeless and with wounds all over her body, tears almost fell down from Yun Xuan Zhi"s eyes. He failed to understand why such thing had occurred without any reason.
"Xiang Ye, please allow nubi to serve Xiaojie!" This time an experienced old Mama went ahead gently caressing Yun Ruo Xue"s back, calming her, allowing Yun Xuan Zhi to keep away from her for the time being. After that she quickly a.s.sisted Yun Ruo Xue to dress up and helped her to comb her hair, then supporting Yun Ruo Xue as they walked out of the damaged temple.
"Ah……" Yet, the moment they stepped out of the broken temple Yun Ruo Xua saw many guards of Xiang Fu standing in front of her. She immediately held her head then started to screech very loudly…...
