Chapter 43 You've used a VPN again?
Everyone looked along the sound.
A handsome and dashing young man, holding a folding fan, walked hurriedly toward them. His eyes, so beautiful they were almost bewitching, were filled with an unyielding anxiety.
"The second young master is back!" a servant shouted.
Sheng Yunzhu walked over quickly with delight, naturally taking the arm of the second young master, Sheng Junyi. Her little face, raised with a hint of coquettishness, said, "Second brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? You haven't been back for more than half a year!"
"Missing your second brother?" Sheng Junyi lightly tapped Sheng Yunzhu's nose with his fingertip and asked with a soft laugh.
"Second brother, you're so annoying~" Sheng Yunzhu said coquettishly, and lightly patted him.
Sheng Junye stood there, lifted his eyelids, and called out indifferently, "Second Brother."
Sheng Junyi clicked her tongue: "Why is Xiao Wu's face so dark? Who offended him? What are you all doing? How is Mother's illness? I rushed back as soon as I got the news. What happened?"
"It's nothing. Yes, it was Sister Yangyang who came by earlier. Perhaps these servants offended her, and she was a little unhappy. I'm just sending someone to find a doctor for them." Sheng Yunzhu hurriedly said to them, "Don't kneel here anymore. Go back and rest quickly. The doctor will bring some medicine for you later."
The group quickly rose to their feet, expressing their deepest gratitude: "Thank you, Third Miss, thank you, Third Miss..."
He hurriedly got up and left.
Sheng Junye, however, frowned.
They said Lu Yangyang hit them, but when he asked why he hit them, they fell silent. Now that he's been interrupted like this, it's clear he won't get any more information out of them.
He did dislike Lu Yangyang, but that was because if Lu Yangyang was indeed affecting his mother's health, then his mother was naturally more important. If Lu Yangyang leaving could restore his mother's health, he couldn't wait for Lu Yangyang to leave.
However, based solely on the one-sided accounts of these few servants, without even clarifying the details of the incident, Lu Yangyang was convicted.
It still made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Who is Yangyang?" Sheng Junyi asked.
"Second Brother, Second Brother, don't you know?" Sheng Yunzhu's eyes reddened instantly. She looked up at Sheng Junyi through teary eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "Yangyang is Father and Mother's biological daughter. I... I'm just a substitute. Now that she's back, she doesn't like me, so... so..."
With red eyes and her head lowered, Sheng Yunzhu looked like she was bearing a heavy burden of humiliation, and urged Sheng Junyi, "If Mother knows that Second Brother is back, she will definitely be very happy. Second Brother, why don't you go see Mother first?"
Sheng Junyi's face turned cold, and she grabbed Sheng Yunzhu's hand: "Did she bully you?"
"No, she... she doesn't like me. I took her place and enjoyed so much wealth and luxury for her all these years. Whatever she does to me is what she should do. This is what I owe her. Even if she wants my life, I will..." Sheng Yunzhu said, her eyes red and her body trembling slightly.
Sheng Junyi patted her shoulder with concern: "Don't talk nonsense! My family wrote to me about this matter. What does it have to do with you? You grew up in the Duke's mansion. You are the Duke's daughter. No one can bully you! You don't owe anyone anything!"
"Second Brother..." Sheng Yunzhu collapsed into Sheng Junyi's arms, sobbing.
"Alright, don't be afraid. Your second brother is here. No one can bully you. Just wait, your second brother will definitely get justice for you. You are the girl who grew up in our Duke's mansion, and always will be!" Sheng Junyi wiped away Sheng Yunzhu's tears with heartache and said in a deep voice, "Someone, take me to that girl's courtyard!"
"Second brother, second brother, no! I just want our family to be alright. Second brother, please don't ask Yangyang anything because of me and upset Mother. Mother hasn't been seeing me much lately..." Sheng Yunzhu grabbed Sheng Junyi, looking at him with a disappointed yet pleading gaze.
"Outrageous! How much have you suffered these past few days!" Sheng Junyi snorted, then questioned Sheng Junye, "You're such a grown man, don't you know how to protect your sister?"
Upon hearing his question, Sheng Junye impatiently shouted, "Go find him yourself if you want. I have things to do, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he didn't want to talk to the two of them anymore and turned around and left.
Sheng Junyi patted Sheng Yunzhu's shoulder and comforted her, "Let's go see Mother first."
After saying that, he took Sheng Yunzhu's hand and entered the Magnolia Pavilion.
Before he could even see Madam Lan, he was stopped by Granny Hui, who said that Madam Lan was already asleep and that Sheng Junyi should come again tomorrow.
Sheng Yunzhu also coaxed him understandingly, "Second brother, you must be tired from your journey back. Go back and wash up and rest first. I will come with you to pay our respects to Mother tomorrow."
Sheng Junyi nodded: "Alright, Zhuzhu, don't worry, with your second brother here, no one will bully you."
After saying that, the two left Yulan Pavilion.
……
When Lu Yangyang returned to her courtyard, she saw Sheng Yunjiao peeking around, and even Yan Yue was there.
She dismissed Granny Shen and asked Yan Yue in shock, "You climbed over the wall again?"
Yan Yue was a little embarrassed: "I didn't originally plan to climb over the wall. I just wanted to tell you that Prince Rong sent a physician to treat that little horse and observe its condition, so it might take a few days before it's delivered to you. But as soon as I climbed over the wall, I saw her sneaking around and waving at me, so I came down."
"Hey, explain yourself clearly, who's being sneaky?" Sheng Yunjiao retorted without hesitation.
"Alright, alright, this isn't the time to talk about this." Yan Yue quickly brushed her off, then turned to look at Lu Yangyang with concern: "Are you alright?"
Sheng Yunjiao also looked worried.
Lu Yangyang realized what was going on: "Are you talking about that Fairy Shangshan?"
They both nodded.
Sheng Yunjiao: "I heard them gossiping at noon, and I wanted to come find you then, but my mother stopped me. She said this was not something I could get involved in, and she locked me in the yard and had someone watch me so I wouldn't come out. I snuck here. How about that? Am I loyal enough? Where did you go? What are you going to do?"
Sheng Yunjiao sneaked away like a thief, without even bringing a maid, and was afraid of being seen. Wasn't that sneaky? She didn't want to be seen either.
Yan Yue couldn't help but say, "I think... I think you're actually quite capable. If you have nowhere to go, I can find you a place. You don't necessarily have to stay in the Duke's mansion. What do you think?"
Yan Yue looked at her with a mixture of heartache and anticipation.
He didn't really understand why, even though it seemed like no one in the Duke's mansion liked Lu Yangyang, she still wanted to stay here. Was it because she had nowhere to go?
Lu Yangyang shook her head, her tone firm.
“I won’t leave. That virtuous fairy said I’m a nemesis, so I’ll ask her myself tomorrow how I’m a nemesis. She doesn’t know anything about medicine, so what makes her so sure that I’m the one who caused Madam’s illness!”
