Chapter 701 Fat People Are All Potential Stocks 28
The eight handsome men stood at the door, peering out curiously.

"Look, that's Quan Quan's ex-husband."

"Why is he like this? He's so dirty."

"Is he here to ask for money again? He's shameless. Quan Quan just gave him so much severance pay, and he still wants more. Does he think Quan Quan's money grows from the ground?"

"Pah, just get rid of them already, they're an eyesore!"

Those eight people looked much better, both in their clothes and their demeanor, than when they first arrived at the Yuan residence.

There was a time when Jin Yichuan was doing better than them.

But now, those people inside are looking at him with eyes that are either curious or mocking, while he feels like he's being trampled in mud, disheveled and dejected.

Jin Yichuan could no longer bear the gazes of those handsome men and the onlookers around him, and fled in a panic.

Two dedicated Qing Shuang Lou thugs followed Jin Yichuan closely as he left the spot.

They saw Jin Yichuan being beaten, but the two of them just stood not far away with their arms crossed, watching coldly like ordinary bystanders.

The fact that Jin Yichuan was beaten has nothing to do with them; their only responsibility is to monitor Jin Yichuan and prevent him from escaping.

Hu Yunjiao, who was in the mansion, also heard about what happened at the gate, but she had no time to care about Jin Yichuan.

Because she herself was in a precarious situation.

Since Yu Muhuai arrived, he has completely reshuffled the servants in the mansion. Apart from Hu Yunjiao and her two personal maids, all of his spies have been eliminated.

Not only that, she wasn't even allowed to enter the room where Yuan Bao was lying.

Hu Yunjiao, of course, refused. She went to the housekeeper, put on airs of a lady, and asked sternly.

"I am the Madam of the Yuan family, why can't I go to the Master's room? What's the point of keeping such an insolent servant? What are you doing, steward?"

The steward, Yuan Ding, bowed slightly, his attitude extremely respectful, but his words were utterly unquestionable.

"Madam, this is all Miss's idea. Miss and Master Yuan found a doctor, and after the diagnosis, they requested that Master be given a very quiet environment."

That's why the young lady gave such an order, forbidding anyone unimportant from entering the master's room.

Hu Yunjiao was so angry that she started cursing, her voice rising three notches.

"I am Madam Yuan! How could I be an insignificant person? Don't you have eyes?"

Yuan Ding remained respectful yet calm, even though Hu Yunjiao's hand was almost poking his face, he showed no intention of backing down.

"Madam, this is Miss's wish, and I have no right to change it."

Hu Yunjiao pointed at Yuan Ding, her voice trembling with anger, "You, you, you..."

He stammered "you" for a long time but couldn't get a complete sentence out.

Hu Yunjiao knew that talking to the housekeeper was useless, so she wanted to go find Jin Yichuan.

At that time, Jin Yichuan had already been angered by Yu Muhuai and had gone to visit Qingshuanglou.

Having no other choice, Hu Yunjiao had to go to Yu Muhuai herself.

During the day, Yu Muhuai was not at home. With Yuan Miao managing Fuqi Cloth Shop, it was no longer convenient for Hu Yunjiao to interfere in the shop's business.

So she waited in the mansion until almost dawn before Yu Muhuai returned.

To lose weight, Yu Muhuai would exercise outside for nearly two hours after leaving the cloth shop at night.

So I basically come home late every day.

Upon hearing that Hu Yunjiao was looking for her, Yu Muhuai immediately made an excuse that she was too busy to see her and even asked Qiaolan to pass on a message to the housekeeper.

The next morning, the housekeeper relayed Yu Muhuai's words to Hu Yunjiao verbatim.

“Madam, Miss said, ‘I have nothing to say to my aunt. I have already set the rules, and there is no need to change them.’”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yunjiao felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, nearly spitting blood in anger. These words completely shattered the reputation Hu Yunjiao had painstakingly cultivated in the Yuan family over the years.

What hurt her the most wasn't that the rules couldn't be changed, but the title "aunt".

Yu Muhuai used a Western-style new cultural model for Yuan Quanquan and Jin Yichuan's marriage, but used old-fashioned rules for Hu Yunjiao and Yuan Bao's marriage.

Where can you find such double standards?!
Ironically, within the Yuan family, everyone seemed to fall for Yu Muhuai's tactics.

Who told her to be Yuan Bao's most beloved young lady?

Who told her to hold all the indentures of the Yuan family's servants?

Yuan Zihao is only five years old now, and it is impossible for him to compete with Yu Muhuai for power.

Hu Yunjiao's previously invincible methods were completely ineffective against Yu Muhuai.

Now, Hu Yunjiao is racking her brains every day, trying to figure out how to regain control of the Yuan residence. She has no time to interfere with the business of Fuqidao Cloth Shop.

Since Yuan Bao had no other options, she could only join forces with Jin Yichuan to find a way to take down Yu Muhuai.

But unexpectedly, Jin Yichuan turned out to be a good-for-nothing, and after suffering a little setback, he went to visit brothels.

A few days later, without any warning, Hu Yunjiao saw in the newspaper that Miss Yuan and Jin Yichuan had divorced.

She was stunned.

Because she didn't have any informants at the Yuan residence, she was unaware of what was happening around her, including the fact that Yu Muhuai had coaxed Jin Yichuan into going through the divorce proceedings.

Aside from silently cursing Jin Yichuan for being an impatient idiot, Hu Yunjiao had no choice but to urgently revise her strategy.

Now she fully understands that Miss Yuan is completely different from before.

After realizing this fact, Hu Yunjiao clenched her fists, bit her lower lip hard, and decided to lie low for the time being.

Her most pressing matter now is protecting her own and her son Yuan Zihao's rights, not thinking about how to seize power.

But just as Hu Yunjiao had made up her mind to spend this period in a low-key manner and then find an opportunity to deal with Yu Muhuai, she received a note.

The handwriting above is crooked and very ugly, and the writer is clearly Jin Yichuan, who has been learning to read for a year.

Hu Yunjiao was horrified after just one glance, her face turning deathly pale.

She immediately covered the note, looked around to make sure no one had noticed her actions, and then felt a little relieved.

The note contained only one word.

Strong.

If others saw this, they might make many guesses.

But Hu Yunjiao knew that this character represented a name: Chen Qiang.

This name is very common in Jin Kingdom; almost everyone knows someone named Chen Qiang.

However, Hu Yunjiao knew who Jin Yichuan was referring to.

A coachman.

The man who used to drive Yuan Bao's chariot.

He was also the coachman who drove the carriage on the day Yuan Bao had the accident.

Chen Qiang, bribed by Hu Yunjiao and Jin Yichuan, deliberately staged an accident that day, causing the carriage to overturn off a cliff, leaving Yuan Bao severely injured and paralyzed.
Chen Qiang was investigated afterward, but nothing was found.

He said that they encountered a wild boar that suddenly appeared on the mountain road. The horse driving the carriage was startled, veered off course, and accidentally fell off a cliff.

Before the carriage accident, Chen Qiang escaped death because he rolled away in time.
