Chapter 95: Watching the Spectacle Without Caring How Big the Trouble Gets

Li Shi pounded the ground while crying out:

"Heavens! Is there no law left? The eldest branch's girl is bullying us, the second branch's mother and daughter! Where can we seek justice..."

"Mother!" Seeing Jun Jun Zhidie, Jun Jun Yiyi cried out in shock as Li Shi was knocked down.

"Jun Jun Yiyi, I'll fight you to the death." In the next second, Jun Jun Zhidie lowered her head, crouched her waist, and charged straight at Jun Jun Yiyi, ramming her head into Jun Jun Yiyi's stomach.

Another dull thud rang out, and Jun Jun Yiyi immediately let out a terrible cry, falling heavily to the ground.

Jun Jun Yiyi felt a sharp pain surge from her abdomen, as if something were tearing her body apart. She finally couldn't hold back, emitting a groan of agony; cold sweat poured down her forehead, her lips trembled, yet she could not utter a single word, her entire body collapsing in pain.

Watching Jun Jun Yiyi's agonized state, Jun Jun Zhidie felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if this headbutt had vented years of resentment.

Seeing her daughter gain the upper hand, Li Shi immediately scrambled up from the ground, brushed the dust off her clothes, and wore a smile of triumph. She walked over to Jun Jun Zhidie, patted her shoulder, and said with a tone of approval:

"Good daughter, well done! We can't keep letting the people of the eldest branch ride over us."

Jun Jun Yiyi clutched her stomach, her face growing increasingly grim. Beneath her, a pool of blood slowly spread. Her complexion turned deathly pale at once; her hands tightly pressed her belly, her eyes filled with terror and agony.

Seeing Jun Jun Yiyi in such a state, Jun Jun Zhidie also felt a flicker of fear. She grabbed Li Shi's hand, her voice trembling as she said:

"Mother, she... what's wrong with her?" A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, as if she realized today's incident could not be resolved peacefully.

Li Shi had given birth to two children herself; seeing this situation, what was there not to understand? A sense of schadenfreude rose in her heart; now the eldest branch would have quite a show.

Li Shi raised her voice and shouted:

"Come quickly! The Eldest Young Lady is in trouble! She... she's miscarrying!"

Li Shi's voice seemed amplified tenfold, piercing the original silence and shaking the tiles of the mansion three times. In an instant, the maids, young servants, nannies, and even the old cat that usually lounged lazily, as if bewitched, all surged toward this spot from every direction.

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

Jun Jun Yiyi's mind was in chaos, with only one thought spinning endlessly: Was she pregnant? How could she be pregnant? Suddenly she remembered her menstruation had not come for three months. But now, she had fallen, she was bleeding, and everyone in the mansion had gathered around. Most terrifyingly, this child belonged to Gao Gao Wenjing, the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she had already been jilted by the Gao family. Although the Third Imperial Prince had promised to marry her as a secondary consort, the betrothal gifts had not yet been sent. If this news got out...

Countless terrifying images flashed through Jun Jun Yiyi's mind: the mansion's people pointing and whispering, Li Shi's cold mockery, and her father's fury...

Jun Jun Yiyi's maid, Yanzi, was so anxious she stamped her feet, rushing forward to pull Jun Jun Yiyi:

"Eldest Young Lady, let's leave here quickly."

The maid's words brought Jun Jun Yiyi's spirit back; she gritted her teeth and struggled to stand with Yanzi's support. Just as the two were about to leave, several servants rushed over:

"Eldest Young Lady, are you alright? Quick, go summon a Physician!"

Jun Jun Yiyi's heart suddenly tightened. A Physician? No, she couldn't summon a Physician! Once a Physician arrived, the whole city would know; how could she possibly live on?

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

"I'm fine, I just fell; there's no need to summon a Physician."

The servants looked at Jun Jun Yiyi in confusion, but since their mistress had spoken thus, they naturally would not meddle.

Li Shi and Jun Jun Zhidie had already retreated to their own courtyard. Li Shi still wore a triumphant smile; she patted Jun Jun Zhidie's shoulder and said in a low voice:

"Now we have quite a show; the people of the eldest branch have lost face in a huge way."

Jun Jun Zhidie had been truly frightened seeing Jun Jun Yiyi bleed so much; she was still somewhat afraid now. Looking at Li Shi, her voice trembled slightly:

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

Li Shi sneered, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes: "Too far? When have the people of the eldest branch ever been polite to us? This time is merely a lesson for them. Just wait; this time it's Jun Jun Yiyi, next time it will be Seeing Jun Jun Zijin and Jun Chengcai."

What Li Shi did not know was that her words fell word-for-word into Fei Ying's ears. Fei Ying frowned; this mother and daughter were asking for death.

Jun Jun Zhidie lowered her head and said nothing more, yet a vague unease stirred in her heart.

Supported by her maid, Jun Jun Yiyi stumbled forward, every step feeling like treading on knife points. Her vision blurred; she could barely see a sliver of light ahead.

Jun Jun Yiyi forced herself back to her own courtyard, knowing full well this matter must not leak out. Yet the pain in her abdomen grew ever stronger; she felt her strength draining away like a deflating balloon, inch by inch.

After much thought, there was only one path left: go find Seeing Jun Jun Zijin. After all, in front of this second sister, she had long lost all face; losing face one more time mattered little. She could not lose the betrothal to the Third Imperial Prince's mansion; Seeing Jun Jun Zijin must be eliminated sooner or later. Once this matter was handled, she would find an opportunity to eliminate her then.

"Go invite the Second Young Lady. Tell her I will offer a heavy reward." Lying in bed, Jun Jun Yiyi said to Yan'er.

Yan'er accepted the order; she learned that Seeing Jun Jun Zijin had headed toward the main gate, so she ran all the way to catch up.

Just as Seeing Jun Jun Zijin was about to step out the main gate, Fei Yan descended from the sky:

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

Fei Yan vividly recounted the whole drama: how Jun Jun Yiyi had made a scene outside, how Li Shi had protected her cub, and how Jun Jun Zhidie had headbutted Jun Jun Yiyi to the ground.

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

"Jun Jun Yiyi has lost face all the way to Ciqikou this time. Come, let's go watch the spectacle." Seeing Jun Jun Zijin said gleefully to Guazi and Miss Huasheng, clearly full of interest in this farce.

"I guess we don't need to go; Jun Jun Yiyi will come find our Master herself to see," Miss Huasheng interjected from the side, her tone carrying a degree of certainty.

"No way? She's lost face all the way to her grandmother's house; she'll surely hide it away. How could she come find our Master to mock her?" Guazi voiced a different opinion, her tone tinged with doubt. She believed that in such a humiliating situation, Jun Jun Yiyi would choose to avoid them rather than come knocking voluntarily.

Along the way, Guazi and Miss Huasheng argued endlessly over this matter, each sticking to their own view. Finally, both asked Seeing Jun Jun Zijin in unison:

"Master, what do you say?" Their eyes were filled with expectation, clearly hoping Seeing Jun Jun Zijin would give a definite answer.

Seeing the figure running over from that direction, Seeing Jun Jun Zijin said:

"Look, she's here." Her tone carried a hint of certainty, as if she had foreseen all this happening.
