Chapter 288 A sudden turn of events
Li Mao remained indifferent to this.
Even Yun Hong himself was indifferent to this. He even had the leisure to talk.
"Mother, you don't have to waste your efforts. Butler Li is only loyal to Grandfather. In front of Grandfather's world plan, anyone can be sacrificed. Including me! Besides, I will not let myself become a bargaining chip in your hands."
As he spoke, he looked at Rong Enqing sideways, and then moved his neck closer and closer to the hairpin in Rong Enqing's hand. He looked like he was ready to die.
Rong Enqing didn't dare to let anyone die at this moment.
After realizing Yun Hong's crazy behavior, she quickly pulled back the hairpin.
Rong Enqing couldn't help but whispered: "You are really crazy! You are all a bunch of lunatics! Crazy!"
The situation seemed to be at a stalemate.
At this moment, Yun Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Grandmother, have you really decided to stand on the side of Emperor Taihe and be hostile to father and great-grandfather?"
Rong Enqing turned to look at Yun Ye, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.
Isn’t this obvious enough now?
"Grandma, have you really made up your mind?"
Yun Ye asked again, staring at Rong Enqing intently, as if he would not give up until he heard her answer.
Therefore, Rong Enqing answered decisively: "Yes. My position has not changed from the beginning. I just want to live! I just want to protect the people around me and live well!
"The Yun family's rebellion is doomed to fail! Therefore, Emperor Taihe is my only choice!"
Yun Ye had a complicated expression, he pursed his lips and lowered his head. After a moment, when he looked up again, his eyes had become firm.
He turned to look at Butler Li and ordered in a cold voice: "Do it."
Almost as soon as Yun Ye finished speaking, more than half of the servants suddenly pulled out the daggers from their waists and put them on the necks of the others.
Even the housekeeper Lao Li, who was standing in front of the crowd, had a knife put to his neck by A Mou behind him.
The situation took a sudden turn for the worse, leaving everyone stunned.
Even Butler Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yun Hong was even more incredulous. He turned to look at Yun Ye in shock and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, Ayi, who was in charge of guarding Yun Ye, calmly untied the ropes that bound Yun Ye.
It is obvious that the two are actually in the same group.
Without the restraints, Yun Ye knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed three times to Yun Hong, and then said seriously: "Father, I'm sorry. I promised my grandmother that I would work together with her to protect the Marquis' Mansion and the people around me.
"Although I haven't seen you since I was a child, I have always respected and admired you in my heart. So when you appeared, I was very excited. I longed for your fatherly love and your recognition.
"However, my love for you cannot compare to the true love my mother and grandmother have for me!
"During the nine years you were away, it was my mother who took care of me day and night and protected me. It was she who taught me to read and write, and to distinguish right from wrong.
"But for the grand plan you and your great grandfather talked about, you want to marry another woman. You've let your mother down.
"Compared to the great revenge you mentioned, my grandmother's love and sincerity towards me are more tangible.
“Grandma is your biological mother, but you want to use her, and even want to kill her because she goes against you.
"I don't need a father like this!
"I don't even want to get involved in a world-shaking plan that requires using any means necessary and even being abandoned by everyone!"
Hearing Yun Ye's words, Yun Hong was dumbfounded, "But you clearly didn't tell me that before! Your grandmother is a woman, she doesn't understand what it means that those who achieve great things don't care about small matters. Don't you understand it either?"
"You are the one who doesn't understand!"
Yun Ye turned around and walked in front of Rong Enqing. He also knelt down and kowtowed to her three times before saying, "I'm sorry, grandma. I've made you sad these days!"
Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye in astonishment, his eyes already soaked with tears.
"What on earth is going on? You're not..."
Yun Ye's eyes also turned red. He stood up, took Rong Enqing's hand, gently placed it on his cheek, and said with a tearful smile: "I swore to protect the mansion, my grandmother and my mother. How could I betray my grandmother and mother? I just want to protect you in my own way."
"I hid the matter from your father before because I didn't know what he wanted to do. So I wanted to find out his intentions. I was also worried that after grandma knew about your father's affairs, she would not be able to hide her emotions.
"I haven't seen my father since I was a child, so I was ecstatic to see him return. What's more, I am my grandmother who has been my father's mother for more than 20 years.
"Later, when I figured out everything, I thought, if I showed that I was on the same page with my father, he would take me to meet my great-grandfather.
“Then maybe grandma can use this to help His Majesty catch my great-grandfather and his group through the clues I left behind.
"In this way, will everything be over? From now on, will we no longer have to live in fear? We won't have to be targeted all the time and be embarrassed everywhere?"
Rong Enqing stretched out his arms and hugged Yun Ye tightly, tears streaming down his face.
A nine-year-old child secretly thought so much, did so much, and endured so much...
"It was grandma who misunderstood you! It was grandma who was useless that made you bear so many burdens that you shouldn't have to bear at such a young age!"
Yun Ye gently patted Rong Enqing on the back, and when Rong Enqing had almost stopped crying, he reminded her, "Grandma, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later. Let's deal with the current situation first."
"Oh, right." Rong Enqing let go of Yun Ye and raised his hand to wipe away his tears. He sighed in his heart for the Nth time, thinking that he was not as good as a child!
"Grandma, you can do whatever you want now." Yun Ye stood beside Rong Enqing, looking at Butler Old Li and others who had been controlled in the courtyard.
"It's hard to handle so many people at once."
Rong Enqing frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "First tie them up tightly and detain them separately."
"Also, please ask Steward Li to take the people brought by Miss Tingqin and go take control of the Marquis' Mansion. If they are obedient, let them go to the storehouse to steal gold bricks. If they are disobedient, tie them up and lock them up."
"Yes." Butler Li took Tingqin and his group away.
The clever Nanshan also brought Yannian to find a lot of ropes. At Yun Ye's nod, those people in the courtyard who were loyal to the old housekeeper Li were quickly tied up and taken away.
Butler Lao Li and Yun Hong were left behind. They were to be held in solitary confinement.
Just as the two were about to be taken away, Butler Li suddenly looked at Yun Ye and said, "Young Marquis, you really surprised me."
"I thought you would be the second prince. I didn't expect that you are more determined than the prince. You are also wiser and more sentimental than the prince.
"The Madam and the Crown Prince's wife have taught you so well. I'm sure the old marquis will be happy to see you like this."
Butler Li was taken away.
But Rong Enqing and Yun Ye were still feeling heavy.
Because things are far from over.
