Chapter 230 Dirty Tricks

Yun Family.

The night gradually deepened, and except for the occasional sound of the night watchman, the whole courtyard was unusually quiet.

In the spirit shed, incense was curling, and a bean-sized oil lamp emitted a dim light.

Yun Yuan knelt in front of the spirit, his face darkened, and the whole person was much thinner.

Keeping vigil is a strenuous job, especially after the initial emotions faded, it was even more boring.

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

Yun Yuan was the only one left in the spirit shed.

From time to time, he had to get up to continue the incense in front of the spirit.

According to the rules of Yandu City, during the period of time when the spirit is kept after death, the incense in front of the spirit cannot be interrupted.

And the person who continues the incense must be a close relative or descendant.

But with the passage of time, especially after the unstable situation in the world, few people take these customs seriously.

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

But Yunyuan was different. He had been doing it himself these days and had never slacked off.

At this moment, after adding oil to the oil lamp and lighting a new incense stick, Yunyuan leaned against the coffin and closed his eyes to take a nap.

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

Maybe because he was very tired, Yunyuan fell asleep quickly.

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

He was the most favored child in the family.

What a wonderful time it was.

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

Yunyuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

He saw a maid carrying tea and snacks into the mourning shed.

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

Yunyuan nodded, and when he was about to reach out for the tea and snacks, he suddenly glanced at the maid strangely.

The maid was about 17 or 18 years old. Although she was not very pretty, her peach eyes were very charming.

Especially in the dim light, she was even more charming.

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

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

Yun Yuan nodded.

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

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

At this time, the maid came behind Yun Yuan.

"Master Yun, you have worked hard these days. Let me massage your shoulders."

"Do you know how to massage?" Yun Yuan asked in surprise.

"Well, I learned it for a few days."

"Then massage it." Yun Yuan did not refuse.

So the maid put her hand on Yun Yuan's shoulder and began to massage it gently.

I have to say that the maid's massage technique is really good.

The importance of the massage was well-placed.

Yunyuan was exhausted from the hard work these days, so after this massage, he wanted to fall asleep.

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

The hand that was originally kneading the shoulder quietly slid down and quickly got into Yunyuan's collar.

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

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

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

"Who sent you?"

The maid never dreamed that Yunyuan would suddenly wake up.

She thought Yunyuan had taken the bait, so her hand became unscrupulous.

But she didn't expect that Yunyuan would open his eyes the next second.

There was a flash of panic in her eyes, but she still said calmly: "Master Yun, I don't know what you mean. I just want to serve you well because I see that you are too tired."

"Serve me? How?"

"Or do you want me to do something shameful in front of my father's spirit?" Yun Yuan said coldly.

The little maid was speechless.

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

"Go, don't let me see you again, and tell those who are behind you not to do such despicable and dirty tricks in secret."

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

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

Although he didn't say it, Yun Yuan knew very well that the person who was behind the little maid must be related to his stepmother.

She wanted to seduce him in this way so that he could do something shameful in front of the spirit.

Although in this era of social disarray, the children of the wealthy families are playing more ridiculously than one another, and this kind of thing is not necessarily rare.

But some things are only a few pounds if they are not weighed, but once they are weighed, they cannot be weighed down.

Yunyuan believed that if he really could not resist the temptation and did that kind of thing, his stepmother would definitely take advantage of it and make a big deal of it, and then weaken the legitimacy of his inheritance in this way.

Her intentions are not to be underestimated.

However, this method should not be something she could think of, and there must be someone behind the scenes who is making plans.

Thinking of this, Yunyuan couldn't help but sigh.

As time went by, his disadvantage of being alone became 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 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. Yun Lin 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. 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?" Yun Lin said unwillingly.

"It's not that I'm 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 sent 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 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 copied.

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 arrived at 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.

Yun Hao 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 be 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, 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 help, 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 them!" Yun Yuan was startled and said quickly.

"Oh? Why can't we kill them?" 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 there will be unexpected changes."

"So what you mean is..."

"Just don't kill them." Yun Yuan said in a deep voice.

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 time, I will help you secretly."

"Thank you!"
