Chapter 1402: A small test
Xie Xiaoli sneered. She couldn't believe that the man had the face to say something like this. He was caught having an affair and yet the blame was shifted on the woman with whom he was having an affair, did he think that by pushing the responsibility on Xie Liang's head, he would be forgiven?
No! Instead, it would only make Xie Xiaoli look down on him even more.
"Seduced? Then how will you explain the child that you have with her?" Xie Xiaoli questioned angrily, causing Yun Tao to stiffen. He opened his mouth to say something but was smacked by the evidence that Xie Xiaoli had collected, making it impossible for him to retreat.
"H..Honey," Yun Tao wanted to say something but Xie Xiaoli didn't want to hear any more of his lies. She turned to look at her father-in-law whose face was ashen and said to him, "I will be taking my leave now. Since your son likes the daughter of my family's maid then let him marry her instead. I will not stand in the way of the two lovers."
Xie Xiaoli cleared up Xie Liang's identity at once causing the woman who was struggling on the ground to pause and glare at Xie Xiaoli who calmly glanced at Xie Liang.
Did this woman think that she could marry Yun Tao just because she slept with him and gave him a child? Too naive!
Father Yun was a man who didn't even marry the two women with whom he had an affair, instead, he stayed with Mother Yun till now. Why was it? Because a chicken would always be a chicken.
Even if it somehow occupies the nest of a phoenix, it doesn't mean that it would become one. Xie Xiaoli snorted and then walked away with her head held high. However, the words that she spoke caused quite a stir in the crowd.
"Maid's daughter? He actually left an heiress and had an affair with a maid?"
"Sure enough blood can never lie. His blood is that of a woman with low morals. So of course he would act so shamelessly."
"Those born with the blood of Xiao San can never live a respectful life!"
The discussion was enough to make Zhao Meng tremble with anger, Father Yun was no better. Even though no one said anything directly to him, why did they continue to mention 'blood', wasn't it because they were condemning him for having affairs with two women when he was married to Mother Yun?
In the words of the crowd, he had an affair with a women who came from a low background and had kids with them. Thus, Yun Tao was the same, he had an affair with a woman from a low background and had a child with her as well.
It was because of him!
Father Yun's face if possible turned even more ashen. He turned to look at Yun Zhao and Yun Tao before saying, "Is this much excitement not enough for you two? You don't need to return home even now?"
Yun Zhao shrugged and then walked past his father to stop next to his mother. Mother Yun patted Yun Zhao on the back of his hand, she was silently telling him that even if someone made things difficult for him, she would handle it.
"What's this?" Father Yun asked as Yun Zhao opened the two boxes and revealed the jade bracelet and pen inside them.
When Yun Tao and the rest saw those things, their hearts dropped and their complexion turned pale.
"Oh this is nothing," Yun Zhao calmly as he placed the things in front of his father. "Just a little gift that someone gave to me." He then turned to look at the three men and said to them, "I will answer Father's question, in return touch these things with your bare hands." His request was not only weird but a bit strange. Father Yun turned to look at Yun Tao and the rest before saying, "Why are you hesitating? Pick it up."
How could Yun Tao and the other two pick those things with their hands? They knew where they came from and even knew that they had great resentment stored inside of them as told by the master whom they hired to deal with Yun Zhao.
"What's wrong?" Father Yun frowned as he turned his attention to the three sons who stayed put instead of holding the things in their hands.
He reached forward and picked up the pen that was sitting in the wooden box and said, "Isn't it just a pen, why are you hesitating so much?"
"That's right, it is just a pen," Yun Zhao sneered as he picked up the other box and placed it in front of Yun Tao. "All you need to do is pick it up."
How could he pick it up? Yun Tao refused to even touch it as he had seen the condition of the corpse in the grave from which this bracelet was taken out.
"What's wrong? Cannot pick it up? Or do you know from where these things were taken out from?" Yun Zhao's voice dropped and Yun Tao who stood in front of him snapped his head up.
Of course, he dared not to accept that he knew about it, so he could only pretend to be stupid. "What do you mean, Little Brother? I don't understand--"
"Then why don't you touch it? Like I said just pick it up," Yun Zhao said to Yun Tao who stiffened and looked away.
Seeing the interactions between the two, Old Master Yun understood something. He parted his lips and questioned, "From where this thing comes from Ah Zhao?"
Yun Zhao turned to look at his grandfather and smiled. He placed the box on the table and answered, "It was taken out from a grave, grandfather. A corpse was wearing it but somehow it ended up in my hands, what do you think the sender was trying to do?"
