Chapter 6 Wei Wan's Powerful Protection of Her Daughter
"Prime Minister Yun, are you still dreaming? I, Yun Juan, am not included in the Yun family genealogy, and you did not acknowledge me upon my return, yet now you accuse me of disrespect? How come you've said all the nice things?"
Yun Juan looked at Yun Ting with some curiosity. How did someone with such a fiery temper manage to become the prime minister?
On her way back, she was still thinking that someone who could sit in the position of prime minister of a country must be a cunning and shrewd old fox.
It seems I overestimated him! She simply couldn't believe that someone with his personality wouldn't have someone advising him behind the scenes.
The commotion stopped abruptly with the arrival of one person: Granny Jin, the old lady's trusted assistant. Her will was the old lady's will, so even Yun Ting would give Granny Jin some face.
"Young Miss, the Old Madam requests your presence." Granny Jin's words left everyone present speculating about the Old Madam's attitude.
To outsiders, it may seem that Yun Ting is in charge of the Yun family, but in reality, everyone has to listen to this old lady. Her words can directly affect the outcome in the Yun family.
Yun Juan had never seen this old woman since birth; it was this old woman who caused all that trouble back then. It would be good to meet her and see what she was really up to.
Wei Wan was a little worried. Having been married into the Yun family for so long, she knew better than anyone what kind of person the old lady was.
Her lowered hand clenched into a fist, as if she had made up her mind. This time, she was determined to protect Quan'er and not let her suffer any harm in the Yun family. After enduring so much humiliation for so many years, she couldn't even protect her own daughter. She was disappointed in the Yun family.
Granny Jin led Yun Juan away, and Wei Wan and Yun Lin behind her tried to follow closely, but Granny Jin stopped them: "Madam, young master, the old lady only allowed this old servant to take the young lady alone."
Wei Wan followed closely behind, a hint of worry on her face, and even Yun Lin looked at her with the same expression.
Yun Juan felt a little uneasy under such a gaze. It wasn't a matter of life and death, so why the expression? Did the old lady think she could eat her?
She was a modern person who had traveled to the past, and she had watched plenty of palace dramas. What was she afraid of when she was half-buried?
"Don't look at me like that! It's alright! The old lady just wanted to see me, so cheer up! If something happened to me, would the old lady be able to run away? She probably doesn't want the reputation of harming her granddaughter!"
Yun Juan was saying this to Granny Jin, and she believed that her words would reach the old lady's ears accurately and without any omissions.
In grand mansions, especially for officials like Prime Minister Yun who hold positions in the court, unless he wants to jeopardize his career.
Otherwise, if the charge of harming her granddaughter were proven true, it would be a fatal blow to the Yun family. She believed that the old lady was still clear-headed about this.
The old lady must have considered this point back then, which is why she had someone abandon her on the estate to fend for herself.
Wei Wan was still a little worried when she heard Yun Juan's words. She had waited so many years to see her daughter and didn't want to leave her side for even a moment.
Yun Juan probably understood Wei Wan's meaning, and turned to Granny Jin and said, "Granny, Mother just saw me and probably doesn't want to be separated from me. Could you let her wait in the courtyard?"
Granny Jin was still somewhat troubled. She remembered the old lady's instructions, which only said to bring the eldest young lady over, but did not say that the madam could not be brought. She could let them wait in the courtyard.
Granny Jin nodded and reluctantly agreed.
Yun Juan took her mother Wei Wan's hand and followed closely behind Granny Jin. The old lady lived in the back courtyard of the Yun family, which was relatively secluded behind the main courtyard.
Although located on the very edge, Haolan Courtyard, where the old lady lived, was the best courtyard in the Yun family, with pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, all surrounded by lush greenery.
Yun Juan thought this place was indeed a retirement paradise. She had to admit that the old lady really knew how to enjoy herself; she liked the courtyard herself.
"Miss, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and inform them first." Granny Jin walked straight into the room.
“Mother, please sit here for a while. You’re not fully recovered yet, or your condition will worsen.” Yunlin helped his mother, Wei Wan, to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard.
As soon as Yun Juan entered the courtyard, she sensed several presences hidden in the shadows, likely belonging to secret guards or similar entities.
But what she couldn't understand was why an old lady from a prime minister's residence would keep secret guards? What were they protecting? Protecting an old lady who rarely left her home—wasn't that a waste of talent?
While Yun Juan was still looking around the courtyard, Granny Jin came out and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, the old lady is taking a nap. She hasn't been feeling well lately and has been sleeping poorly. She finally fell asleep, and we didn't dare to disturb her. Please rest here for a while, and I'll invite you in when she wakes up."
Yun Juan understood that the old lady was trying to give her a hard time. Hmph, did she really think she was a pushover? That she could be bullied so easily?
"Granny Jin, since the old lady is resting, I will take my leave now. I will come back to pay my respects when she wakes up." Yun Juan was not going to wait here.
When Granny Jin saw that the other party was about to leave, she panicked. If they left, wouldn't the effect of her show of force be lost? The old lady's plan would be ruined. They would also be in deep trouble.
“Young Miss, the old lady will wake up soon. Please wait a little longer. If she doesn’t see you when she wakes up, she will be angry with us. We can’t bear the consequences of her anger.” Granny Jin looked troubled.
Yun Juan continued forward, but was pulled behind her by Wei Wan.
Haven't we endured enough humiliation all these years? Now even a lowly nanny dares to trample on us mother and daughter. Have they forgotten that before she was married, Wei Wan was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor of the court?
"Granny, mind your place! Don't give me that nonsense! I am the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's mansion, the legal wife of the Yun family. What? Does my daughter have to be subservient to you? Whether the old lady blames you or not is your business as servants. Don't forget who's the master here! Do you think a lowly servant like you can teach my daughter how to do things?"
Wei Wan spoke so much in one breath that her face turned slightly red, even Yun Juan was stunned.
I originally thought the original owner's mother was just a sickly beauty, but I never expected her to have such a domineering side.
Even her son Yunlin looked surprised. Wei Wan was a little embarrassed, her face slightly flushed, as she looked at her son and daughter.
"Mother, you were so amazing just now!" Yunlin could see that his mother was uneasy. This time, she probably didn't want his younger sister to be bullied again, so she stood up and scolded them.
"Yes, brother is right. Mother, you are so amazing! It's really good to have a mother to protect you." Yun Juan probably realized that so many years of forbearance had made her mild-mannered.
That's good. The principal wife should show the demeanor of the head of the household. Otherwise, those concubines would have already restrained themselves. They wouldn't be like this today.
Wei Wan's previous forbearance was only for Yun Juan, who was far away on the estate. Now that the child has returned to her side, what else does she have to worry about?
