Chapter 95: Watching the Fun Without Fear of the Chaos

Li Shi pounded the ground while crying out:

"Heavens! Is there no justice left? The girl from the first branch is bullying us mother and daughter of the second branch; who can we go to for justice..."

"Mother!" Jun Zhidie exclaimed upon seeing Li Shi pushed over.

"Jun Yiyi, I'll fight you to the death." The next second, Jun Zhidie lowered her head, hunched her waist, and charged toward Jun Yiyi, ramming her head into Jun Yiyi's stomach.

With another muffled thud, Jun Yiyi let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground.

Jun Yiyi felt a sharp pain radiating from her abdomen, as if something were tearing her body apart. She finally could not hold back, letting out a painful groan. Cold sweat poured down her forehead and her lips trembled, but she could not say a word; she lay limp on the ground in agony.

Watching Jun Yiyi's painful appearance, Jun Zhidie felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if this collision had vented years of resentment.

Seeing her daughter had the upper hand, Li Shi immediately scrambled up from the ground, patted the dust off her body, and a smug smile appeared on her face. She walked to Jun Zhidie's side, patted her shoulder, and said with a hint of approval:

"Good daughter, well done! We can't always be ridden like horses by the people of the first branch."

Jun Yiyi clutched her stomach, her face turning increasingly ghastly. Beneath her, a patch of bright red gradually spread. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, her hands gripped her stomach tightly, and her eyes were filled with terror and pain.

Seeing Jun Yiyi in this state, Jun Zhidie also began to feel a bit afraid. She tugged at Li Shi's hand and said with a trembling voice:

"Mother, she... what's wrong with her?" A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes, as if she realized that today's matter could not end well.

Li Shi had, after all, given birth to two children; once she saw this situation, there was nothing she didn't understand. A sense of schadenfreude welled up in her heart; the first branch was in for a good show now.

Li Shi opened her throat and shouted:

"Come quickly! The eldest young lady is in trouble! She... she's having a miscarriage!"

Li Shi's voice seemed to have been amplified tenfold, piercing the original tranquility and shaking the roof tiles of the residence three times over. In an instant, the maids, servants, and nannies in the residence, and even the lazy old cat, all seemed to have been cast under a spell, surging toward this spot from all directions.

After shouting, Li Shi grabbed Jun Zhidie and slipped away.

Jun Yiyi's mind was in chaos, with only one thought swirling incessantly: She was pregnant? How could she be pregnant? She suddenly remembered that her monthly period hadn't come for three months. But now, she had fallen, she was bleeding, and everyone in the residence had gathered around. Most terrifyingly, this child belonged to the Prime Minister's third young master, Gao Wenjing, and she had already been rejected by the Gao family. Although the Third Imperial Prince had promised to take her as a secondary consort, he hadn't sent the betrothal gifts yet. If this matter were to spread...

Countless terrifying images surfaced in Jun Yiyi's mind: the pointing fingers of the people in the residence, Li Shi's mockery, her father's fury...

Jun Yiyi's maid, Yanzi, was so anxious she was hopping mad, stepping forward to pull Jun Yiyi:

"Eldest young lady, let's leave here quickly."

The maid's words pulled Jun Yiyi's soul back. She gritted her teeth and, supported by Yanzi, struggled to stand up. Just as the two were about to leave, several servants rushed over:

"Eldest young lady, are you alright? Quick, go fetch a physician!"

Jun Yiyi's heart tightened violently. A physician? No, she couldn't call a physician! Once a physician came, the whole city would know, and she wouldn't be able to live.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She managed to squeeze out a smile and said to the onlookers:

"I'm fine, I just took a fall, no need to call a physician."

The servants looked at Jun Yiyi with suspicion, but since the mistress had said so, they naturally wouldn't meddle.

Li Shi and Jun Zhidie had already hidden in their own courtyard. A smug smile still hung on Li Shi's face; she patted Jun Zhidie's shoulder and whispered:

"There's a good show to watch now; the people of the first branch have lost face in a big way."

Jun Zhidie had been truly frightened seeing Jun Yiyi bleed so much just now, and she was still a bit scared. She looked at Li Shi, her voice trembling slightly:

"Mother, did we... did we go too far?"

Li Shi sneered, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes: "Too far? When have those people in the first branch ever been polite to us? This is just giving them a little lesson. Just wait, this time it's Jun Yiyi, next time it will be Jun Zijin and Jun Chengcai."

What Li Shi did not know was that her words had fallen into the ears of Feiying, word for word. Feiying frowned; this mother and daughter were courting death.

Jun Zhidie lowered her head and said nothing more, but a faint sense of unease lingered in her heart.

Supported by her maid, Jun Yiyi stumbled forward, every step feeling like she was treading on the tip of a knife. Her vision was blurred, and she could only barely see a glimmer of light ahead.

Jun Yiyi forced herself to walk back to her own courtyard, knowing full well that this matter must not be leaked. But the pain in her abdomen grew more intense, and she felt her strength deflating bit by bit like a punctured balloon.

After thinking it over, there was only one path to take: to go find Jun Zijin. In any case, she had long since lost all face in front of this second sister, so losing it once more didn't matter. She could not lose the marriage to the Third Imperial Prince's residence, and Jun Zijin had to be eliminated sooner or later. Once this matter was handled, she would find an opportunity to get rid of her.

"Go invite the second young lady. Tell her I have a great reward." Jun Yiyi lay on the bed and said to Yan'er.

Yan'er took the order. Having heard that Jun Zijin had headed toward the main gate, she ran all the way to catch up.

Just as Jun Zijin was about to step out of the main gate, Feiyan descended from the sky:

"Boss, Jun Yiyi seems to be pregnant, and she's bleeding!"

Feiyan vividly recounted the scene of how Jun Yiyi had thrown her weight around outside, how Li Shi had protected her cub, and how Jun Zhidie had rammed Jun Yiyi over.

Jun Zijin's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled:

"Jun Yiyi has lost face to the ends of the earth this time. Let's go, let's go watch the fun." Jun Zijin said to Guazi and Huasheng with schadenfreude, clearly full of interest in this farce.

"I suspect we won't need to go; Jun Yiyi will come to find our mistress to watch herself," Huasheng interjected from the side, her tone carrying a hint of certainty.

"No way, right? She has lost face to her grandmother's house; she will definitely hide it. Why would she come to find our mistress to mock her?" Guazi held a different opinion, her tone filled with doubt. She believed that in such a humiliating situation, Jun Yiyi would definitely choose to avoid them rather than take the initiative to come knocking.

Along the way, Guazi and Huasheng argued endlessly about this, each holding their own ground, until finally, they asked Jun Zijin in unison:

"Mistress, what do you think?" Their eyes were full of expectation, clearly hoping Jun Zijin would give a definitive answer.

Jun Zijin looked at the figure running over from that direction and said:

"Look, she's here." Her tone carried a hint of certainty, as if she had long anticipated everything that would happen.
