Chapter 207

Volume 1_Chapter 207: Either a Hidden Ailment or a Scandal

Jun Mengran's words caused all eyes to fall on Yun Qiyue at once.

Especially Jun Linche; once he heard that it was Yun Qiyue who pushed Jun Mengran, Jun Linche became furious.

Handing Jun Mengran over to the two maidservants, Jun Linche stood up abruptly, looked at Yun Qiyue with an unkind expression, and angrily questioned, "Miss Yun, how do you intend to account for this matter?"

As a Villa Master, he was naturally imposing, giving people a sense of oppression.

But facing this kind of oppression that ordinary people could not withstand, Yun Qiyue was not the least bit timid; instead, she looked directly at Jun Linche.

Just as she was about to speak, a cold voice came, "I don't know what kind of account the Villa Master wants her to give you."

The one speaking was Lady Shui.

Subconsciously, Yun Qiyue looked toward Lady Shui, only to see her reveal a soothing expression toward her.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue was slightly stunned.

She always felt as if something had been overlooked by her.

But what was it?

Yun Qiyue hadn't figured it out yet, but Jun Linche had already looked at Lady Shui with a dark face, "She pushed Ran'er into the water; shouldn't she give an account?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Shui's gaze remained indifferently on Jun Linche, and her voice became even colder: "Are you so sure that she was the one who pushed Mengran down?"

As soon as Lady Shui said this, Jun Mengran's expression stiffened, her body shrank slightly, and she lowered her eyes even more guiltily.

And Yun Qiyue felt incomparably surprised by Lady Shui's words.

It seemed that Lady Shui was currently defending her.

But why? Clearly, Jun Mengran was her daughter!

It made no sense for her not to defend her own daughter, but instead defend her, an outsider.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Yun Qiyue thought of a possibility.

That was, Lady Shui was actually not Jun Mengran's biological mother. Once she thought of such a possibility, Yun Qiyue felt more and more that it was the case.

After all, the way Lady Shui and Jun Mengran interacted did not look like that of a biological mother and daughter.

After hearing Lady Shui's words, Jun Linche frowned slightly, his gaze toward Lady Shui filled with depth and complexity.

Compared to Jun Linche, Lady Shui remained indifferent, making it impossible for people to see her truest thoughts at this moment.

Yun Qiyue had a feeling that Lady Shui seemed to be beyond the world, as if she were not very interested in anything.

"How could what Ran'er says be false?" Jun Linche finally spoke, and as soon as he did, it carried a bit of bias, "Qianqiao, Ran'er was brought up by you; how could you not know her character?"

Lady Shui, who was Shui Qianqiao, heard this and glanced in Jun Mengran's direction.

This glance lasted a long time, so long that Jun Mengran's expression was about to collapse, and it made Jun Mengran feel guilty while also feeling some fear.

Subsequently, Lady Shui moved her gaze away and said indifferently, "I thought I knew before, but now I realize I didn't."

Lady Shui's words made Jun Linche frown, while Jun Mengran looked up at Lady Shui in disbelief.

What did Mother mean by this?

Was it that she would rather believe an outsider than believe her?

Jun Mengran looked incredulous, then looked at Yun Qiyue with resentment.

It was all her, it was all because of her.

If it weren't for her, she would still be Mother's most beloved daughter.

If it weren't for her, Brother Ye wouldn't be so heartless to her.

It was all because of her that everything had become different from before.

Thinking of this, Jun Mengran's eyes were full of venom.

But soon, Jun Mengran looked aggrieved.

"Sister-in-law, it was Mengran's fault; Mengran shouldn't have said you pushed me into the water," Jun Mengran said, then looked at Lady Shui, aggrieved, "Mother, it was Mengran who accidentally fell in; don't blame Sister-in-law. Just now, Mengran was scared and accidentally said the wrong thing."

Lady Shui looked at Jun Mengran without speaking, but her eyes became even more indifferent.

And as soon as Jun Mengran's words came out, the rest of the people in the villa looked at Yun Qiyue with anger.

Because Jun Mengran's words, although they looked like they were exonerating Yun Qiyue, in reality, they were completely not the case.

Regarding those gazes, Yun Qiyue acted as if she didn't see them.

After all, Jun Mengran's play wasn't over yet.

She had to let Jun Mengran finish her act before making an appearance, didn't she? Otherwise, wouldn't that be giving her too little face?

Sure enough, after Jun Mengran finished that sentence, she suddenly clutched her stomach, looking very painful.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, what's wrong with you?" the maidservant asked anxiously.

And Jun Mengran was curled up there with a pale face, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Watching this scene, Yun Qiyue's expression became even colder.

Next, there was a flurry of chaos as the guards hurried to fetch a doctor.

The doctor was almost dragged over by the guards.

However, after taking her pulse, the doctor frowned, a trace of doubt in his eyes, as if he were somewhat uncertain.

Next, he took Jun Mengran's pulse again, and then his brows furrowed even tighter.

Then, the doctor looked at Jun Mengran with a strange expression, "Eldest Young Miss, I wonder where you are feeling uncomfortable?"

Jun Mengran's face was pale, looking very weak, "I... my stomach hurts..."

She looked as if it were very difficult for her to even speak.

Upon hearing this, the doctor's expression became even more complex, looking as if he didn't know whether to speak or not, which was quite strange.

Jun Linche frowned and ordered in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on with the Eldest Young Miss? Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Upon hearing this, the doctor hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Villa... Villa Master, this small one, this small one... dares not say."

"Dares not say?" Yun Qiyue spoke at this moment, pretending to be puzzled, "As far as I know, illnesses that one generally dares not speak of are either hidden ailments or scandals. I wonder, Doctor, which kind did you diagnose?"

As soon as Yun Qiyue's words came out, Jun Mengran couldn't care about the pain in her stomach and glared angrily at Yun Qiyue, "You're the one with the hidden ailment, you're the one with the scandal!"

Damn Yun Qiyue, she was already at death's door, yet she still dared to slander her.

And the look Jun Linche gave Yun Qiyue at this moment also carried malice.

"Since it's neither a hidden ailment nor a scandal, then what is it that the doctor cannot say?" Yun Qiyue was not afraid of the threatening gazes of the father and daughter at all and continued to ask.

Jun Mengran endured the pain and looked at the doctor, "Why don't you hurry up and say what is going on with this Young Miss?"

"Remember to tell the truth, otherwise you might be labeled a quack doctor," Yun Qiyue added at the right time.

Upon hearing this, the doctor, who had originally prepared to make up a condition, closed his mouth and lowered his head, not knowing what to do.

It was visible to the naked eye that his body was trembling.

Seeing this, Jun Linche only felt that something was wrong.

Just when he hadn't figured out what was going on, Yun Qiyue spoke to him, "Villa Master Jun, this doctor dares not tell the truth; you should invite another highly skilled doctor, otherwise, if Miss Jun continues to hurt like this, something might happen."

Upon hearing this, Jun Linche subconsciously looked at Jun Mengran and indeed saw Jun Mengran clutching her stomach, her face even paler.

Thinking of something, he glared at Yun Qiyue with a dark face, and finally, Jun Linche looked at the doctor and ordered in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on with the Eldest Young Miss? Tell the truth."
