Chapter 52: Volume 1, Chapter 52: Your Life Balance is Seriously Insufficient

Obviously, Yun Qiyue's last sentence intimidated the Yun family.

Especially since Yun Qiyue deliberately emphasized the word retribution, which inexplicably made people feel chilled.

For a while, the room fell into a deathly silence.

"Do you think the strange illnesses of Yarou and Yaxiang have something to do with Yun Qiyue?" Just then, Li Shi, who hadn't spoken much, spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi glanced at Li Shi, and then thought of something, and her face suddenly changed.

Influenced by Li Shi's words, the expressions of the others also changed, and they all started to suspect along the lines of Li Shi's words.

After all, Yun Yarou and Yun Yaxiang both contracted strange illnesses almost at the same time, and both were after Yun Qiyue returned; these were too coincidental.

At this time, because everyone was suspecting Yun Qiyue, the shadow brought by the word 'retribution' was completely forgotten by everyone.

They would rather believe that Yun Qiyue was making trouble than believe that there was really retribution in this world.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Xu Shi asked, "Do you still remember what Yun Qiyue said when she returned that day?"

What Yun Qiyue said?

Yun Qiyue said a lot of things; which sentence was Xu Shi referring to?

Yun Jiande had been married to Xu Shi for many years and knew Xu Shi best, so although others didn't understand which sentence Xu Shi was referring to for a while, Yun Jiande reacted.

"Are you talking about the fact that Yun Qiyue said an immortal taught her self-defense and medical arts?" Yun Jiande's eyes darkened.

Xu Shi nodded. "If what she said is true, and she really knows medical arts, then Rou'er's face is very likely her doing."

Especially with Xu Ze's matter in front, she suspected Yun Qiyue even more.

"And the smell on Xiang'er's body." Li Shi added.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun slapped the table again in anger. "Evil creature, simply an evil creature!"

Seeing this, Xu Shi hurriedly appeased her. "Mother, now is not the time to be angry. If you ruin your health, who else in our family can manage affairs? The whole family depends on you."

Seeing Xu Shi like this, a flash of mockery crossed Li Shi's eyes.

This Xu Shi was used to playing the good person, being smooth in and out of the family, making others look like fools.

However, although she thought so in her heart, Li Shi didn't speak.

All along, Li Shi had been like this, quietly being her Third Madam, not sticking her head out for anything.

Yun Jianye was a person without much thought; after hearing Xu Shi's words, he echoed repeatedly, "Yes, Mother, the current plan is that we must first find a way to deal with that little evil creature, and we cannot let her continue to be rampant."

Seeing that both her eldest daughter-in-law and youngest son were persuading her like this, Old Madam Yun finally eased her breath, and then her shrewd eyes looked at her eldest daughter-in-law. "Zhenfang, do you have any ideas?"

Zhenfang was Xu Shi's maiden name.

Seeing her mother-in-law ask her, a flash of shrewdness crossed Xu Shi's eyes. She dismissed all the servants, and after only Old Madam Yun and the couples of the first and second branches were left in the room, Xu Shi spoke, "Mother, now that that little hoof has the Regent as her backer, I'm afraid any method we think of to deal with her won't work."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun gritted her teeth. "Could it be that she can always have the Regent as her backer?"

After speaking, Old Madam Yun thought of something, calmed down, and then looked at Xu Shi with her inverted triangular eyes. "Do you mean to make the Regent no longer her backer?"

Xu Shi nodded. "Mother, think about it, no matter what reason the Regent tacitly approved of the existence of Yun Qiyue as his fiancée, as long as Yun Qiyue is his fiancée for a day, he may protect Yun Qiyue for a day, but... if Yun Qiyue is fooling around with men, Mother, do you think the Regent will still protect her?"

Once Xu Shi said this, not only Old Madam Yun, but even Li Shi's eyes lit up.

That's right, as long as Yun Qiyue is no longer clean, can the Regent still protect Yun Qiyue?

If Yun Qiyue doesn't have the Regent's protection, isn't Yun Qiyue then at their mercy?

"But in this way, what about the illnesses of Rou'er and Xiang'er?" Li Shi raised her opinion at the right time.

She didn't care about Yun Yarou, but she couldn't not care about her Xiang'er.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi thought of Yun Yarou's current situation, and her face sank.

Compared to Yun Qiyue, Rou'er's face was even more unpresentable now.

This was indeed a problem.

After all, all the famous doctors in the capital had been invited and had no solution; if it was really Yun Qiyue who did it, then only Yun Qiyue could solve this problem.

The Hundred Flowers Festival was coming soon, and time really couldn't be delayed.

"Like this, first find Yun Qiyue, coax her to treat the strange illnesses of Rou'er and Xiang'er, and after Rou'er and Xiang'er are cured, we will make a move." Xu Shi said this, actually having selfish motives in her heart.

Yun Qiyue previously said that to save Xu Ze, it would take 100,000 taels of silver, which she simply couldn't take out.

If the bargaining chips included Yun Yarou and Yun Yaxiang, then the matter could be justified.

No one in the Yun family opposed Xu Shi's idea, so it was decided.

Then, the Yun family sent people to find Yun Qiyue next door, but they made a wasted trip, because after Yun Qiyue went out from the Marquis Mansion, she didn't return to the General's Mansion at all.

And let's talk about Yun Qiyue.

After successfully getting the red jade pendant and leaving the Marquis Mansion, she didn't need to use her brain to know that those people in the Yun family would react and come to find her.

And she just didn't want to let the Yun family get their wish so quickly, so after leaving the Marquis Mansion, Yun Qiyue didn't return directly to the General's Mansion next door, but prepared to go to the street to take a look.

So many days had passed, and she hadn't heard what happened to the person who bet 100,000, so she thought about going to the street to wander around and inquire.

However, just as she turned out of the street of the General's Mansion, the system sent out a harsh alarm.

"Host, your life balance is seriously insufficient, please replenish it quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue's movements stiffened, and then her consciousness entered the system, seeing that the value on the life value bar on the system screen was already one percent.

Calculating, from the time she transmigrated to now, today was exactly ten days.

Damn it!

"System, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Yun Qiyue almost jumped.

It wasn't that she forgot to monitor her life balance, it was just that she subconsciously felt that she had previously recharged thirty percent, and even if the system cheated her out of ten percent, she could at least persist for more than half a month, completely forgetting that she had been deducted another ten percent of her life value to save someone.

Damn system, it only reminded her when there was only one percent of life value left; why didn't it just watch her die?

If she died, would it do it any good?

Dog system!

System: "... Host, calm down, the top priority is to replenish life value quickly."

Yun Qiyue took a deep breath, exhaled, and then forced herself to calm down.

What if she didn't calm down? Could she beat the system up?

That would require the system to have a physical body.

"Then can I change to a handsome man to recharge life value?" Yun Qiyue knew it was impossible, but still didn't want to give up.

System: "... Host, the rules are as such, the system cannot change the rules..."

Yun Qiyue: "&%*￥..."

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Qingyan and Sixue were both very impressed by Yun Qiyue's ability to get her things back without a single soldier after Yun Qiyue smashed things in the Marquis Mansion.

It was just that the two were following their Miss in a good mood, but Miss suddenly stopped, looking very angry.

Could it be that Miss discovered that the jade pendant given by the Old Madam was fake?

But, looking at the appearance of that jade pendant, it didn't look like it? ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
