Yun Jiu saw Yun Yi and the others standing by her side, their small frames trembling like leaves in an autumn breeze. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and choked out, "Wuwu, I'm really not human! Bai Moyu, he used me to do so many things that harmed the Yun Family, yet my brothers and sisters still stand up for me. I, I swear today that from now on, I will be irreconcilable with Bai Moyu! I will protect the Yun Family at all costs!"
Yun Xiaowu looked at her crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom and felt a pang of sympathy. She took out a handkerchief to wipe away Yun Jiu's tears. Yun Yi and the others also showed expressions of guilt; they had indeed not cared enough for Yun Jiu in the past, allowing her to be deceived by that scoundrel Bai Moyu.
Yun Ji, however, scoffed dismissively. She thought Yun Jiu was just putting on an act for sympathy. Meanwhile, Yun Chushan's gaze flickered as she recalled her brother saying that Yun Jiu had changed; it was clear now that she was indeed different from before.
Bai Moyu's face had turned an ashen shade. He had been unable to interject earlier, but now he saw how easily Yun Jiu had turned the situation around with just a few words, filling him with rage. They were clearly the victims, yet they had become the ones being accused! When did this Yun Jiu become so eloquent? Had she been pretending all along?
"Yun Jiu, stop pretending! You know the truth better than anyone! You need to antidote Mo Rou's poison immediately; otherwise, our Bai Family will never let this go!" Bai Moyu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Yet Yun Jiu seemed not to hear him at all and continued to cry softly. Seeing this, Yun Yi stepped forward a few paces and stood in front of Yun Jiu. "Bai Moyu, Xiao Jiu has made it very clear; Mo Rou's matter has nothing to do with her. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Moyu clenched his teeth; he knew that Yun Yi was a master at the fourth level of Refining Spirit and that if he were to fight back, he would gain nothing. Moreover, this was the territory of the Yun Family—he wouldn't be able to justify himself even if he were right. Furthermore, it was obvious that everyone from the Yun Family was siding with that wretched Yun Jiu!
He felt a surge of anger but found himself helpless. This wretched Yun Jiu was simply too despicable! He had to find an opportunity to kill her to relieve his pent-up resentment! But for now, his priority was to get the antidote for Bai Morou's poison.
With this thought in mind, he suppressed his fury and said, "Yun Jiu, let's cut to the chase—how can you save Mo Rou?"
Hearing this, Yun Jiu lifted her head to glance at him, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "Bai Moyu, you really have no shame! You still want me to save Bai Morou? Hmph! I would rather watch her die than help her!"
Bai Moyu trembled with anger. "You! You wretched girl! If anything happens to Mo Rou, I will never let you off!"
"Hmph! Do you think I'm afraid of you? Bai Moyu, let me tell you—I am no longer the Yun Jiu who could be bullied before! If you have what it takes, then come at me! I'm waiting for you!" As she spoke, Yun Jiu even raised her middle finger at him.
The members of the Yun Family couldn't help but laugh at the scene. It was the first time they had seen Yun Jiu display such determination! It seemed she had truly turned over a new leaf this time! Meanwhile, Bai Moyu stormed away from the Yun Family, his face dark with anger.
"Xiao Jiu, you really have impressed us!" Yun Yi said with a smile, patting Yun Jiu on the shoulder.
"Hehe, brother, you flatter me! I just can't stand that scumbag Bai Moyu!" Yun Jiu replied with a grin as she rubbed her nose. She knew she had successfully turned the tide and earned the trust and support of the Yun Family. Now she could settle in comfortably. As for Bai Moyu and Bai Morou, well... she had plenty of ways to deal with them!
Bai Moyu's face was ashen; this Yun Jiu was simply infuriating. He had to find a way to get rid of her to ease his resentment!
Right now, the priority was to heal Morou; he would settle the score later.
With that thought in mind, Bai Moyu forced himself to suppress his anger. "Yun Jiu, let's not beat around the bush. How can you save Morou?"
Yun Jiu sighed. "Alright, even though you're not a good person, I don't have any grudge against Bai Morou. It's truly unfortunate for a good girl to end up like this! Hmm, I think she probably strained herself when she fell!"
