Upon hearing Jing Yunyao’s words, Senior Mrs. Jing was scared. She knew Jing Yunyao was going to tell the Jing family about her affair with the evil cultivator.
Subconsciously, Senior Mrs. Jing argued. “Jing Yunyao, you can’t…”
However, before she could finish, Jing Yunyao interrupted. “Do you think you have a choice?”
“You…” Senior Mrs. Jing was stunned and fell into despair.
The housekeeper didn’t know what Jing Yunyao was implying, but he understood that they couldn’t avoid it today. If it got serious, outsiders might hear them, so he agreed that they could talk about it in the backyard.
Afterwards, the housekeeper took them to the backyard. Along the way, someone from the south yard saw it and immediately went to inform Jing Jining and the others.
Once Jing Jining’s family heard that Jing Yunyao was back home, they got excited and rushed to see her.
They would always side with Jing Yunyao, but they didn’t want anyone to be killed, because it would be bad if anyone died.
After the housekeeper took Jing Yunyao into the backyard, Jing Yunfei who walked out of the east yard saw them. When his sight fell on Shangguan Yang and Leng Shaoting, he subconsciously took a step back in horror.
However, when he noticed injured Senior Mrs. Jing, he couldn’t stay calm and ran forward at once.
Right afterwards, he supported Senior Mrs. Jing. Nobody bothered to stop him, because they were already back in the Jing family’s house now.
“Mother, what happened?” Jing Yunfei asked with concern. Actually, there was no need to guess. It must be because of Jing Yunyao and the other people present.
Besides, Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting were fine. Therefore the person paid by Senior Mrs. Jing must have failed to kill them. Or Senior Mrs. Jing didn’t find the man and was caught by Jing Yunyao instead.
Senior Mrs. Jing gave Jing Yunyao a glance saying nothing, but her meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
“Jing Yunyao, my mother is senior to you. How could you be so cruel?” Jing Yunfei questioned at once. Because his heart ached for his mother, he didn’t ask about the reason why Jing Yunyao injured Senior Mrs. Jing.
“Jing Yunfei, why don’t you ask what your mother did before you blame me?” Jing Yunyao asked mockingly.
Hearing that, Jing Yunfei was struck dumb. Although he felt that Jing Yunyao should die, he couldn’t say it out aloud. Besides, he was afraid of them, and didn’t dare to make the situation worse.
At the same time, Jing Yunfei felt that Senior Mrs. Jing must have paid someone to kill Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting, but failed.
It wasn’t surprising. After all, they were at high levels, and not many cultivators were a match for them.
At this moment, the housekeeper reached the study and saw Jing Yaorong. He told Jing Yaorong that Jing Yunyao and the others came and that Senior Mrs. Jing was with them and was injured all over.
Even though Jing Yaorong heard that Jing Yunyao was coming to the Jing family’s house last night, he was still scared when they really showed up.
“What? They came?” Jing Yaorong abruptly stood up from the chair in horror. He looked extremely panicked and anxious.
He didn’t want to admit it, but it was true that he was completely panicked and it was all because of Shangguan Yang.
Moreover, he wondered whether Senior Mrs. Jing had found the evil cultivator to kill Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting. Did she fail?
If she found the man and failed, he wouldn’t be surprised. Anyway, Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting were at high levels, and they had Shangguan Yang’s support. It was really hard to defeat them.
However, if Senior Mrs. Jing failed to find the man, it would be a shame. Perhaps it was a great chance for them to get rid of Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting!
“Yes.” The housekeeper replied worriedly. Although he hadn’t helped Jing Yaorong hurt Jing Yunyao, he was Jing Yaorong’s people after all. He was afraid that he might be dragged into trouble this time.
Either way, Jing Yaorong had saved him so he had to side with him. Even though he knew that he could be dragged into trouble, he still had to stay with Jing Yaorong.
“Do the elders know yet?” asked Jing Yaorong. He knew he couldn’t handle it alone.
“I already sent people to let them know separately.” The housekeeper answered. He knew that they had to be prepared, so he ordered people to inform the elders right when he went to see Jing Yaorong.
“Let’s go out now.” Jing Yaorong was reluctant to see them, but he knew that he couldn’t avoid it. He summoned up his courage and walked out.
Afterwards, the housekeeper followed him.
Before they reached the backyard, Jing Jining’s family arrived first.
Jing Yanhua and his wife hadn’t seen Jing Yunyao for over twenty years, so they somehow felt that she was a little strange, but they were still filled with excitement.
No matter how excited they were, they exchanged greetings with Shangguan Yang after they arrived.
Jing Yanhua’s family soon noticed the injured Senior Mrs. Jing and realized why she was absent for days.
In front of Shangguan Yang, Jing Yanhua said, “Nice to see you Senior Shangguan. I didn’t know that you would come, so I was late. Please forgive me.”
“Nice to see you, Senior Shangguan.” Junior Mrs. Jing respectfully greeted Shangguan Yang.
“We’re not strangers. There is no need for you to be nervous,” said Shangguan Yang. He was very kind to them. Given their relationship with Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting, they should be on the same boat.
Most importantly, Jing Yunyao accepted them.
Although Jing Yunyao refused to accept Jing Yaorong as her father and her name was removed from the Jing family’s genealogy she was willing to accept Jing Yanhua and his wife as family. After all, Jing Jining had saved her life!
Therefore, after they exchanged greetings with Shangguan Yang, Jing Yunyao greeted them at once. “Been a long while, aunt, uncle!”
“Yunyao, we haven’t seen you for a long time. It’s so good to know that you’re still alive.”
“Right, we’re happy to see that you’re fine.”
Jing Yanhua and his wife were comforted. They already knew that Jing Yunyao survived long ago, but they still couldn’t believe it was true until they saw her with their own eyes.
“Thank you so much for caring about me, aunt, uncle. Don’t worry, I’ll live a good life from now on,” said Jing Yunyao.
Now that Jing Yunyao was very strong, Jing Yaorong couldn’t hurt her, so she would live a good life.
However, in that case, Jing Yaorong’s family…
