Chapter 6: Second Master's Anger
Extremely anxious.
My steps became more hurried, and soon I followed the path to my second brother's study. Before I even got close, I heard a delicate female voice coming from the room.
"Second Master, this is the ginseng soup that has just been stewed. I asked my slave to bring you an ounce."
"Dad? When did the master take care of such trivial matters?" A male voice full of doubts sounded in the room.
"The master was dining in the Madam's yard. The Madam felt sorry for the fact that the Master has been tired these days. So she made a stew of ginseng soup for the Master. Seeing this, the Master asked his servant to bring you a portion as well."
"Tell me, why would dad think of giving me ginseng soup? Bring it here."
After the commotion in the second brother's yard in the previous life, she also wondered how the maids in the madam's yard could hook up with the second brother. It turns out that this stepmother's vicious plan is really insidious.
No wonder the second brother later left home and went to Bianqiang, preferring to eat all the wind and sand rather than return home. In this life, she would never let such a thing happen again.
"Second brother, don't drink!" Yun Jin pushed the door open vigorously, her voice trembling.
Yun Yi, who was holding the bowl of ginseng soup in his hand and was about to put it to his mouth, was shocked when he heard the sound. Looking at the maid in front of him, whose face suddenly turned pale with panic, there was nothing unclear.
With a "pop" sound, blood suddenly flowed from the maid's forehead, and her whole body collapsed on the ground, trembling.
"How brave! Who told you to do this! What's in this ginseng soup? Tell me!"
"This servant doesn't understand what the second master means. This servant is just following the master's order to deliver ginseng soup to the second master..."
"Really? Dad is having dinner at my Qiushui Pavilion tonight. You didn't expect that, did you?" Yun Jin gave her a contemptuous look.
The maid, who was lying on the ground crying with aggrieved expression, opened her eyes in disbelief after hearing this. How is this possible? Madam clearly didn't mean...
"Someone, go and invite the master and his wife!"
But no one responded. Yun Yi's face was full of anger. He was so angry that he slapped his big hand on the table, and the pen and inkstone on the table immediately started to beat.
"Okay, that's great! You can stretch your hand long enough."
"Second brother, I originally came to thank you for the gift you brought me, but when I arrived in your yard, I found that there was no one. Little sister, I felt something was wrong, so I told you not to drink. I don't know if there is... something in this. What?"
Having said this, the two brothers and sister looked at the bowl of ginseng soup with the same eyes.
At this time, the two young men who often followed the second master hurried in and knelt down heavily before saying anything.
"Tell me, what's going on? Where did everyone die just now?"
Although the voice was very light, like a gust of wind blowing, to them who knew the second master's temperament well, it was as loud as thunder. Both of their bodies were trembling. In the end, it was the young man who had sent something to Yunjin Courtyard before. The guys opened their mouths.
"Second Master, the two of us were summoned by the aunt beside the madam, who said that the madam asked me about some things. But when we arrived at the madam's yard, we heard another sister say that the madam was meeting with the steward outside at this time. We took off our clothes temporarily. If you don’t get out of here, let us come back first.”
"Oh, you couldn't have been called away by the madam's people, right?" Yun Yi looked at the other two people coldly.
"Master, have mercy on me, slave... I was asked by Wang Cai to drink."
Knowing that he couldn't escape, the boy named Wang Cai had to kowtow repeatedly, and soon there were blood marks on his forehead, which made Yun Jin feel tired for him.
"Okay, stop complaining. Tell me who instigated you to do this?" Yun Yi was impatient to hear this and waved his hand.
The shouting stopped abruptly. Although the boy lowered his head, his eyes that kept turning revealed his inner thoughts.
"Come here, pull him out and kill him with a cane." Yun Yi snorted and sat back behind the desk without giving him even a glimmer of the corner of his eye.
Everyone was stunned until two men in black came in from the door. The boy just woke up from a dream, poured beans on bamboo slips, and explained everything in one go.
"Sister, fortunately you came in time, otherwise my brother would have been tricked." Yun Yi looked at the woman who was still in a coma, his deep eyes staring closely at the burning incense that had been extinguished long ago, with a confused look on his face.
