Chapter 529: Chapter 267: Why Indulge This Unruly Girl to Bully Her

Lady Yun suddenly felt that Yun Wanyao was right in saying that she wasn’t useless!!!

Indeed, when compared to this fool Yun Chuchu, she certainly couldn’t be considered useless.

"Chuchu, there’s something I haven’t had the chance to tell you: Zhenzhen, your older brother and I have officially adopted her. Her surname is now Yun, and her name is Yun Zhuyu."

"She is the Yun family’s second young lady, she is my and your older brother’s child. In the future, you should not tell her to call you ’mother’ anymore."

"You are her aunt, do not get the relationship wrong."

What?

She is an aunt??

Yun Chuchu’s body swayed, her mind was blank, and for a long time she couldn’t come back to her senses. However, Lady Yun paid no mind to her thoughts and slightly turned her head to look at Lu Wu nearby.

"Lu Wu, pull that wild girl away. In the future, if you cannot protect Zhenzhen, I will hold you accountable."

Lu Wu: "..."

It’s not that he deliberately watched as Miss Zhenzhen was bullied by that wild girl. It’s just that Mrs. Shang said she would handle it and didn’t allow him to intervene.

This Mrs. Shang is, after all, the lord’s own sister; he can’t ignore her face completely.

If he doesn’t give face, and this sickly person becomes agitated into a worse condition, how can he bear that responsibility?

And how would he explain it to the lord?

Lu Wu was very aggrieved, casting a resentful glance at the culprit who got him reprimanded by the mistress.

Then, respectfully said, "Yes."

He forcefully pulled Shang Rong’s hand from Zhenzhen’s clothes, picking her up like a little chicken and carelessly threw her to the ground.

"Waaaa, boo-hoo~"

She was thrown quite hard, her buttocks felt as though they had cracked, pain numbing her, and Shang Rong began to cry aloud, harshly and very wretchedly.

The crying pulled Yun Chuchu’s stupefied thoughts back, and seeing Shang Rong weeping bitterly on the ground, her heart felt like it was being pricked with needles, very uncomfortable.

"Rong’er..."

She urgently squatted down to comfort the little girl on the ground. Seeing this, Lady Yun sighed, reached out to hold the wooden-like Zhenzhen’s hand, and bent down to meet her gaze.

"Zhenzhen, come back to your senses, mother is here to see you."

She seemed to be frightened, or perhaps the nightmare from her memory had awakened, always immersed in her world, as if she had lost her soul.

Lady Yun called her several times, and only then did her eyes tremble, showing a slight reaction.

"Mother..."

She softly called out, her voice choked and carrying a few traces of aggrieved sorrow, and in the next moment, she buried herself in Lady Yun’s embrace like a small animal seeking shelter.

Lady Yun felt a pang of heartache, and couldn’t help but reach out to gently stroke her head, her voice gentle and soothing.

"It’s alright now, mother is here, mother will protect Zhenzhen. As long as mother is here, no one can bully Zhenzhen."

Hearing these words, Zhenzhen’s only remaining eye filled with shock, her heart full of incredulity.

In truth, she didn’t quite understand why the Yun family adopted her, nor had she ever thought that the Yun family would truly protect her, would treasure her like everyone in the Shang family treasured Shang Rong.

But now, someone was saying to her that she would be protected.

Protect—what a beautiful word. Would she actually have it?

Zhenzhen couldn’t help but think of her days in the Shang family.

Back then, her aunt tormented her, the servants bullied her, her sisters abused her.

Also daughters of the Shang family, she was as lowly as wild grass, humbled into the dust, while Shang Rong was cherished and doted upon, held dear by everyone since childhood.

At first, she resisted the bullying.

But in return, her leg was broken, her eye was blinded, her face was cut, her body was bruised all over...

Endless torment and injustice, never once was there someone to stand by her side and defend her.

Gradually, she succumbed to the overwhelming barbaric violence, enduring painful and cruel torment without resistance.

So even after being adopted by the Yun family, learning some skills from Lu Wu for a period, Shang Rong remained her shadow.

As long as she saw Shang Rong, nightmares awoke, completely consumed by the fear and cowardice within, unable to muster any resistance.

"However, mother cannot protect Zhenzhen forever. Mother will grow old, and Zhenzhen will grow up. There will be times when mother cannot attend to everything."

"Therefore, mother hopes that in the years she can protect Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen can become strong on her own."

"Only by becoming strong yourself can you prevent being bullied forever, and mother and the Yun family will be the support during Zhenzhen’s journey to strength."

Lady Yun, changing her tone, earnestly imparted advice.

With Yun Chuchu as a lesson learned, she suddenly realized that having a strong natal family isn’t necessarily useful. Sometimes, girls are still manipulated by others.

So, girls must ultimately become strong themselves to be more reliable.

Moreover, seeing Zhenzhen previously being bullied without any resistance made her heart ache slightly.

To be bullied by a child to such an extent, how would she stand in a world where the weak are prey to the strong in the future?

Thus, today she was determined to teach Zhenzhen a lesson on bravery and strength, hoping the little girl would gain some insight.

Strength, support???

Zhenzhen pressed her lips lightly, her gaze thoughtful.

Seeing her silence, Lady Yun didn’t urge but looked at Yun Chuchu who was comforting Shang Rong on the side.

Shang Rong cried while furiously hitting her.

"Go away, go away, you tell that wretched servant to call you mother, then go be that wretched servant’s mother. I don’t want you anymore, boohoo, I’ll tell father to divorce you..."

These words cut like knives, stabbing Yun Chuchu’s heart bleeding, her expression deeply hurt, yet she continued patiently coaxing.

"Rong’er, stop crying. It’s all mother’s fault. If Rong’er doesn’t want mother, mother will have someone send you back to the Shang family. Please stop crying, alright?"

Hearing these words, Shang Rong, as if having her tail stepped on, instantly cried even more heartbreakingly, hitting her harder.
