Chapter 113 White-Eyed Wolf
Chapter 113 White-Eyed Wolf
There are some medicinal foods on the table.
While drinking the yam and poria porridge, Ren Baozhi asked Yaoxia, "Did you ask the kitchen to make these?"
Yao Xia nodded: "Are you satisfied, Auntie?"
"good to eat."
Ren Baozhi drank another mouthful of porridge slowly. In fact, she wanted to ask them many things, but because Yunjia was present, she could not open her mouth and just sipped the yam and poria porridge in front of her silently.
Seeing that Chen Lanyue and Yunjia hadn't touched their chopsticks, she asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
The two of them then picked up the bowls, pretended to take a few bites, and then put the bowls down.
Ren Baozhi finished her porridge and poured herself another bowl of pork belly and lotus seed soup: "Just tell me what you want to say."
Chen Lanyue pursed her lips, and before she could say anything, tears started to fall: "Sister, I'm sorry. It's all Yue'er's fault. It almost cost you your life."
"Hmm." Ren Baozhi slowly scooped a spoonful of soup, brought it to her lips and blew it.
Seeing that Ren was hugging Zhi and not looking at her, Chen Lanyue's regret surged like a tide at this moment. Her tears burst out, but she forced herself not to make a sound.
Ren Baozhi knew she was crying, but remained unmoved. The soup bowl had a good heat preservation effect and the soup was still a little hot.
Seeing her daughter like this, Yunjia felt a little distressed, but now was not the time to feel distressed. She looked at Ren Baozhi and said guiltily, "Zhi'er, thank you for saving us mother and son. We have no way to repay your kindness..."
"Don't," Ren Baozhi put down the spoon and finally looked at the mother and son. "What do you mean I can't repay you? If you want to repay me, there are plenty of ways."
Ren Baozhi only raised her eyelids indifferently, but Yun Jia felt that she was being watched by something dangerous: "Zhi'er, please speak."
"Now that Mr. Chen has passed away, there is only one son in the family. Logically speaking, Chen Gaojie is the only one who can inherit the family business."
Yunjia opened her eyes wide: "You mean..."
Ren Baozhi put on a fake smile and said, "I want you to ask Chen Gaojie to transfer all his property to my name."
"This...how can this be possible!" Yunjia was extremely shocked.
"Didn't Auntie just say that my great kindness was beyond her ability to repay? How is it that now that I've made it clear what I want, Auntie is unwilling to accept it?" Ren Baozhi's smile turned cold. "It seems that Auntie's gratitude is nothing but false."
Yunjia lowered her head and remained silent.
Chen Lanyue pushed Yunjia's arm, crying and urging her, "My Queen, please agree to my sister. Without her, we would be dead. Moreover, she has suffered so much for us."
Yunjia remained silent.
Chen Lanyue said in disbelief, "Mother, how could you be such a treacherous person? If I didn't have your sister, you wouldn't be able to use this money even if it fell into your brother's hands."
Ren Baozhi started coughing at the right time, and was out of breath.
"Anu, why are you coughing up blood again!" Yundu matched Ren Baozhi's acting and said in panic, "Quick, bring me a handkerchief."
Chen Lanyue cried loudly: "My lady, you made me cough up blood."
"That's enough!" Yunjia growled, frightening Chen Lanyue so much that she continued pushing her arm away, not daring to move. "I definitely can't give you all the family property. The three of us, mother and son, also need a place to live."
Chen Lanyue said hurriedly: "Yue'er lives with her sister. Yue'er likes living with her sister."
"Shut up!" Yunjia finally lost her patience and shouted, "You are an ungrateful person!"
She looked at Ren Baozhi and discussed, "How about we split the Chen Mansion's property in half between our two families?"
Ren Baozhi was a little tired of this kind of negotiation. She looked towards Jiangchun, then at the group of young men: "Take them away."
Jiangchun nodded.
The group of young men usually listened to Jiangchun the most. Although they didn't know why, they still walked out of the dining hall one by one with their bowls in their hands.
Seeing the young men leave, Ren Baozhi stood up in an instant, and with lightning speed, he drew his sword and put it to Yunjia's neck: "What do you say?"
Chen Lanyue covered her lips and screamed, "Sister! Don't hurt my queen!"
Ren Baozhi turned a deaf ear to her. Seeing that Yunjia was still unmoved, she exerted force with the knife, leaving a shallow cut, and bright red blood continued to seep out.
This sudden change shocked everyone's faces. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Yunjia's breathing stagnated, and her throat rolled over: "I only ask that you can leave some shelter for our family of three, okay?"
"Wouldn't it have been better earlier?" Ren Baozhi put away the knife, his voice indifferent, "The only reason I agreed to this is because of Yue'er, do you understand?"
When the knife was removed from her neck, Yunjia finally regained her breath. She collapsed to the ground and said, "I understand. I will treat Yue'er well in the future."
"Within ten days, you must transfer all your property to my name. Otherwise, neither you nor Chen Gaojie will be able to escape."
"Yaoxia," Ren Baozhi glanced at the person on the ground and ordered, "Treat Auntie's wound."
The afternoon sun was very good today. In the back garden of the princess's residence, the flowers were in full bloom. Some were still subtly blooming, while others were already stretching out in the sunlight.
The lake water appears even clearer under such sunlight.
The breeze passed through the green willow branches and swept across the lake, causing the lake to shimmer and sparkle.
The boat rocks gently, and the oars break the still water.
Ren Baozhi sat quietly in the boat, gazing at the rippling waves. She broke the silence, "When I raised the knife just now, I thought the Queen would dissuade me."
Yundu took up the oar and rowed lightly, asking, "Why do you want to dissuade me?"
Ren Baozhi leaned against the side of the boat, her posture lazy: "Your Majesty believes in Buddhism, isn't killing the most taboo?"
Yundu was silent for a moment: "I no longer believe in those gods and ghosts."
Ren Baozhi was a little surprised: "Why?"
"It's better to ask for help from others than from Buddha, and it's better to help yourself than to ask for help from others." Yundu looked ahead with a blank look in his eyes. "If it weren't for Anu saving herself, even if I knelt until the cushion was broken, Anu still wouldn't come back."
She sighed self-deprecatingly, "The world is full of complications and troubles. Instead of thinking of ways to break the deadlock, I indulge in worshipping incense and praying to gods and ghosts every day. It's simply ridiculous."
"Yes," said the pregnant woman, who hadn't seen the sun for three months. Her pale skin actually looked warm in the sunlight. "If the gods can verify this, then wouldn't everyone in the world be the emperor?"
The sunlight was slightly intoxicating, and it felt warm on the body. The boat was rocking in the water, making people feel lazy. Ren Baozhi just lay on the boat, shielding her eyes with her arms, and took a short rest.
Yun's jealous eyes fell on Ren Baozhi, full of pity. Not only was Anu's body much weaker, but even her spirit seemed to be much weaker.
