Xue Yan ignored Madam Yan’s words, instead turning her gaze towards Yin Yang.

“Before, 1 thought you were just narrow-minded, but now, I see you are not just narrow-minded but extremely foolish.”

“Even if you hold a grudge against Ah Yu, the child she carries is your flesh and blood. You just stood by and let them scheme against her, are you still a man?” “If you truly detest All Yu, why not divorce her?”

“Xue Yan, this is a matter of my Yin family. What does it have to do with you?” On hearing Xue Yan’s words, Yin Yang’s eyes were full of anger, coupled with a hint of complexity.

Jiang Peihuan stood silently on the side, listening to the conversation between Xue Yan and Yin Yang, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak up, the door behind her opened.

Turning her head, Jiang Peihuan saw Zhong Yu standing at the door, her face pale. She hurriedly went forward to support her. “Auntie Zhong, why have you come out?”

“Huan Er, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Smiling at Jiang Peihuan, Zhong Yu turned her gaze towards the people in the courtyard. When her eyes fell on Yin Yang, the expression in her eyes cooled instantly.

Yin Yang looked at Zhong Yu standing at the door, his eyes complex. Just as he was about to step forward, she had already drawn a dagger, aiming it directly at Madam Yan standing behind him.

“I don’t care if you plot against me, but you shouldn’t plot against the child in my womb.”

Having said that, Zhong Yu pointed her dagger directly at Madam Yan’s heart, “Zhong Yu, stop!”

Watching Zhong Yu lunging at her, Yin Yang extended his hand and pushed Zhong Yu away.

Zhong Yu, with her mediocre martial arts skills and weakened from childbirth, was sent flying backward by Yin Yang’s shove.

Seeing this, Xue Yan hurriedly reached out to catch her.

Seeing Zhong Yu being pushed away, there was a flash of worry in Yin Yang’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

However, Xue Yan, while supporting Zhong Yu, looked at Yin Yang with nothing but anger. She subconsciously wanted to retaliate but was stopped by Zhong Yu.

“All Yu?”

“Sister Yan, let me handle this myself.”

“You?”

Xue Yan was somewhat skeptical, but Zhong Yu just smiled. However, her smile was tinged with a hint of desolation, “Sister Yan, after so many years, it’s time to put an end to it.”

“This whole thing started because of me, so let me end it. There’s just one thing 1 need to entrust to Sister Yan.”

“Between us, you can say anything directly.”

“I have named the child Zhong Yi. Yi Er was born prematurely. I see that the maid beside Huan Er is skilled in medicine. Here in the capital, 1 have no other close friends, so I entrust Yi Er to your care, Sister Yan.”

“After a few months, when Yi Er’s health has improved, 1 will take him back.” “Zhong Yu, how dare you give the child of my Yin family the surname Zhong!” Hearing Zhong Yu’s words, before Xue Yan could respond, Yin Yang, with his eyes dark, spoke up.

But Zhong Yu didn’t even look at him, instead turning to Jiang Peihuan, “Huan Er, you are still a young girl, and this is indeed a difficult situation for you.” “Auntie Zhong, rest assured, 1 will take good care of Yi Er.”

Seeing Xue Yan nod at her, Jiang Pei Huan quickly responded.

“Huan Er, thank you.”

Having said this, Zhong Yu turned to Yin Yang, “If it were not for Sister Yan

and Huan Er’s timely arrival today, Yi Er and I would already be dead.”

“Today, 1 am sending Yi Er to General Mansion. My decision is made. If you disagree, 1 will die in front of you.”

As she finished speaking, Zhong Yu pointed the dagger she had been holding at her own neck.

“You…”

“Okay, 1 agree, 1 agree…”

Seeing Zhong Yu’s action, Yin Yang’s eyes were filled with a furious redness.

Hearing his words, Zhong Yu sighed in relief and called into the room, “Dong Xue, bring Yi Er out.”

“Madam?”

Dong Xue, who had been in the room, came out at the sound of Zhong Yu’s voice, carrying Zhong Yi in her arms.

Zhong Yu walked forward and gently touched the blanket covering Zhong Yi, then looked at Dong Xue and said, “You stay with the young master and follow Sister Yan for now. Stay by the young master’s side and take care of him.” “Yes, Madam.”

“Sister Yan, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Seeing the look on Zhong Yu’s face, Xue Yan wanted to say something, but in the end, she just sighed and said nothing. She only turned to Jiang Peihuan and said, “Huan Er, let’s go.”

Upon hearing Xue Yan’s words, Jiang Peihuan moved forward, made a respectful gesture to Zhong Yu, and then followed Xue Yan out.

As they passed by Madam Yan, they heard the anger in her eyes, “My dear, Xue Yan has beaten me like this, are you just going to let them leave?”

“Do you want to taste my whip again?”

At these words, Xue Yan turned her head to look at Madam Yan.

Seeing the whip in Xue Yan’s hand, Madam Yan quietly closed her mouth.

Xue Yan left the Yin house with Jiang Peihuan.

After they got in the carriage, Xue Yan resumed her usual demeanor, but her eyes were full of worry.

Jiang Peihuan poured a cup of tea for Xue Yan, handed it to her, and then gently asked, “Mother, is there a misunderstanding between Auntie Zhong and Lord Yin?”

“That’s something from many years ago.”

Jiang Peihuan was just guessing, but from Xue Yan’s words, she realized there was some truth to it.

From Xue Yan’s narrative, Jiang Peihuan learned about the story between Yin Yang and Zhong Yu.

Although the marriage between the Yin families and Zhong families was decreed by Emperor Qi Ming, after Yin Yang met Zhong Yu in Qingzhou, he fell for her. But by then, Zhong Yu already had someone in her heart. Somehow, this news reached Yin Yang.

Because of this, even though Zhong Yu married into the Yin family, Yin Yang made things difficult for her.

After hearing the story of Yin Yang and Zhong Yu from Xue Yan, there was a hint of surprise in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. Thinking of Yin Yang’s expression when looking at Zhong Yu, she couldn’t help but say, “Mother, I feel Lord Yin may still have feelings for Auntie Zhong.”

“Yin Yang indeed has feelings for your Auntie Yu, but after this incident, much of it has faded away.”

After saying this, Xue Yan remained silent, and Jiang Peihuan didn’t ask anymore.

An hour later, Xue Yan returned to the general’s mansion with Jiang Peihuan.

“Huan, this child…”

“Mother, let him stay in my garden. Ye Xiao is proficient in medicine. If anything happens, she can take care of it nearby.”

“Alright, then let’s go with your arrangement. If anything happens, send someone to find me in Yanlin.”

“I understand, mother.”

After parting with Xue Yan, Jiang Peihuan took Zhong Yi directly to her plum garden.

“Eldest miss, who is this?”

When Yue Er heard the voice, she came out from the house. Seeing Dong Xue and the child in her arms, her eyes were full of confusion.

“This is the young master of the Yin family, Yue Er. Go clear out the room next to mine.”
