Chapter 230 Dirty Means

Chapter 230 Dirty Means

Yun family.

The night was getting darker, and except for the occasional sound of the night watch, the entire courtyard was extremely quiet.

In the mourning shed, smoke was lingering, and an oil lamp like a bean emitted a dim light.

Yunyuan knelt in front of the spirit, his complexion darkened, and his whole body became much thinner.

Keeping a wake is inherently strenuous work, especially after the initial emotions subside, it becomes incredibly boring.

Anyway, Yun Hao found an excuse to leave early, and he might be hiding somewhere to sleep now.

Yunyuan was the only one left in the funeral shed.

From time to time, he would get up to refill the incense in front of the soul.

According to the rules of Yandu City, during the period when a person's spirit is suspended after death, the incense in front of the spirit cannot be cut off.

Moreover, the person who renews the incense must be a close descendant.

But as time goes by, especially after the world becomes unstable, few people take these customs seriously.

Many wealthy families would send their servants to do this kind of thing.

But Yunyuan is different. He has been doing everything himself these days and has never slacked off.

At this moment, after adding oil to the oil lamp and lighting a new stick of incense, Yun Yuan leaned on the coffin, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

These days, he has been relying on this method to survive.

Perhaps because he was extremely tired, Yunyuan quickly fell asleep.

He dreamed again of his childhood, when his mother had not yet passed away and his father was still young.

He is the most favored child in the family.

What a wonderful time it was.

But just when Yunyuan was immersed in a dream and couldn't extricate himself, a sound of footsteps suddenly woke him up.

Yun Yuan opened his eyes and turned to look.

I saw a maid walking into the mourning shed carrying refreshments.

"Master Yun, let's have something to eat." The maid said softly.

Yun Yuan nodded and was about to reach out to pick up the tea when he suddenly glanced at the maid strangely.

This maid was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she was not very pretty, her peach blossom eyes made her even more charming.

Especially in this dim light, it is even more charming.

"Why haven't I seen you before?" Yunyuan said.

"This slave has just entered the house a few days ago, so Master Yun has never seen me." The maid said softly.

Yunyuan nodded.

The Yun family is a big family with many slaves and maids, and they often buy new maids. This is not surprising.

He first picked up a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.

At this moment, the maid was seen coming behind Yunyuan.

"Master Yun, you have worked hard these days, please rub your shoulders."

"Do you know how to massage?" Yunyuan asked a little strangely.

"Well, I have been studying for a few days."

"Then go ahead." Yunyuan did not refuse.

So the maid put her hands on Yunyuan's shoulders and began to knead them gently.

I have to say, this girl's massage technique is really good.

The priorities are well grasped.

The fatigue of these days has made Yunyuan extremely tired, so after this massage, Yunyuan wanted to fall asleep.

But at this moment, he felt that the maid's hands began to become dishonest.

The hand that was originally squeezing his shoulders quietly slid down and quickly got into Yun Yuan's neck.

Not only that, Yunyuan also felt an unbearable itching in his ears, which was obviously caused by this little maid.

Yun Yuan didn't say anything, just closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

But just as the little maid's hand continued to wander down, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her, then opened his eyes and looked at the little maid.

"Who sent you?"

This maid never dreamed that Yunyuan would suddenly wake up.

She thought Yunyuan had taken the bait just now, so she became unscrupulous.

Unexpectedly, Yun Yuan opened his eyes the next second.

There was a trace of panic in her eyes, but she still managed to calm down and said: "Master Yun, I don't know what you mean. I just see that you are working too hard, so I just want to serve you well."

"Serve me? How?"

"Or are you planning to let me do something embarrassing in front of my father's spirit?" Yunyuan said coldly.

The little maid was speechless.

At this moment, Yun Yuan let go of his hand.

"Let's go, don't let me see you again, and tell those who are instructing you behind the scenes not to engage in such despicable and dirty methods in secret."

The little maid ran away in a hurry as if she had been granted amnesty.

Looking at her back, Yun Yuan's eyes became dark.

Although he didn't say it, Yunyuan knew very well that the person who was instigating this little maid must have something to do with his stepmother.

She wanted to seduce herself in this way so that she could do something embarrassing in front of the spirit.

Although in today's era of broken etiquette, the children of those wealthy families are playing more and more ridiculous things, this kind of thing is not necessarily unusual.

But some things only weigh four ounces if they don't go on the scale. Once they go on the scale, they won't weigh even a thousand pounds.

Yun Yuan believed that if he really couldn't withstand the temptation and did that kind of thing, his stepmother would definitely take advantage of the situation and make the matter bigger, and then use this method to weaken the legitimacy of his inheritance.

His intentions are not evil.

However, this method should not be something she could come up with. There must be someone behind it who is making suggestions.

Thinking of this, Yun Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

As time goes by, the disadvantage of being alone becomes more and more obvious.

I escaped this time, but what about next time?

Thinking of this, Yunyuan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

no.

I can't sit still and wait for death, I have to think of a way.

Just when Yun Yuan was frowning and thinking about how to break the situation, in a remote courtyard of the Yun family, the little maid was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair, with two bright red slap marks on her face.

"Trash, you can't even do such a small thing, what use do you have?" Yunlin was simply furious.

She thought this would be something she could easily do.

After all, Yunyuan was in his prime, and after these days of abstinence, as long as he found a pretty maid to flirt with her, he would be able to lose control and eventually do something scandalous.

But I never expected that this attempt failed.

Moreover, Yunlin knew that after this test, Yunyuan would definitely be more vigilant, and it would be difficult for him to use the same method next time.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yunlin became more and more angry. She stretched out her hand and was about to teach the little maid another lesson when Lin Shizan from behind stopped her.

"Okay, there's no point in beating her to death. This thing is not that easy to do in the first place. No matter how stupid Yunyuan is, he should understand the situation at hand, so this is not something that a little maid like her can change."

"Then what should we do? Do we just give up like this?" Yunlin said unwillingly.

"It's not like giving up, it's just that I have to change my approach." Lin Shizan said.

"Another way?"

"Yes, isn't this Yunyuan very rational? Then find a way to make him less rational." Lin Shizan sneered.

The next day, just as Zhao Ya was about to leave for the Golden Blade Academy, he suddenly received a letter.

The person who delivered the message, Zhao Ya, also knew him as the guard who greeted Yun Yuan at Changting Town outside Yandu City.

The guard said nothing, just delivered the letter, and then left quietly.

Zhao Ya opened it and took a look, then a sneer appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Shang Luoluo asked.

"It's nothing, it's just something happened at the Yun family."

With that said, Zhao Ya gave the letter to Shang Luoluo.

Shang Luoluo couldn't help but frown after reading it.

"Are the methods of these wealthy families so dirty and despicable?"

"But you have to admit that it works very well. Yunyuan held on last night, but what if he didn't hold on and was really tempted to commit a wrong thing?"

"I believe the news has spread throughout Yandu City today!" Shang Luoluo sighed.

"Yes, so this matter is not over yet." Zhao Ya casually crushed the letters and threw them into the fish pond in the courtyard, watching them gradually dissolve and settle.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'll help him. Let's do it tonight. I'll go to Yun's house tonight."

Regardless of the right or wrong of this matter, Zhao Ya still had to help based on the dried black dragon meat that Yun Yuan had given Zhao Ya before.

So on this day, Zhao Ya still spent the daytime in the library of Jindaoyuan.

However, he did not rush to the third floor, but continued to wander on the second floor.

Yesterday, he only read the secret books on swordsmanship collected on the second floor. In addition, there were many other secret books that he did not read.

Now that he has this rare opportunity, Zhao Ya will naturally not let it go.

However, compared to those secret books on sword techniques, the other secret books on fists, kicks, or body training are much inferior.

Many of them are simply excerpts.

This is not surprising, after all, Golden Blade Academy is known for its swordsmanship.

What Zhao Ya wants is not some high-level secret book. What he urgently needs now is the vision and knowledge in martial arts.

So Zhao Ya watched eagerly.

At this glance, he saw that in the evening, Zhao Ya declined Wang Tiancheng's invitation to stay for dinner and turned around to go home first.

After finishing the meal and practicing another set of exercises, Zhao Ya quietly went to Yun's house.

With Zhao Ya's current physical skills, he can go to the imperial palace, let alone the Yun family.

So Zhao Ya came to the courtyard where Yunyuan was located smoothly.

Although there are white cloths hanging everywhere in the courtyard, there is not much sadness. Many people coming in and out have smiles on their faces.

After all, Yun Anbang has been dead for several days, who can still be immersed in sadness all day long.

Zhao Ya found a deserted corner and hid.

By the time the watch was set, the number of pedestrians gradually became fewer and the courtyard became quieter.

Yunhao couldn't hold himself back anymore.

It would be more uncomfortable for him to stay in this mourning shed all day than to kill him.

So he pretended to feel cold and sneaked away again.

Soon, Yunyuan himself was left alone in the tomb.

He was refilling the oil lamp. At this moment, a breeze shook the lamp, and then Zhao Ya appeared in front of him.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, Yun Yuan was still startled by this sudden scene, and the oil can in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Zhao... Young Master Zhao!" He said calmly.

Zhao Ya nodded, "I have seen the letter you asked someone to send. What are you going to do?"

Yun Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know what to do. The funeral will be held in three days, so as long as I can survive these three days, it will be considered a success. But my stepmother will definitely not give up, so I will definitely not give up in these three days." It’s peaceful, and I’m alone with no helpers, so I thought of you.”

"I said I would help you, so I will definitely help you. Now I just want to ask you what you mean, do you want to directly kill your stepmother and younger brother, or..."

"Can't kill!" Yunyuan was startled and said quickly.

"Oh? Why can't you kill him?" Zhao Ya asked.

Yun Yuan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Because if they die, I will definitely be the first person to be suspected, and then everything will change."

"So what you mean is..."

"As long as you don't kill them," Yun Yuan said solemnly.

Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand. Since the funeral will be held in three days, they will definitely take action during these three days. During this period, I will help you secretly."

"Thank you!"
