Bloody Kyoto
Chapter 37 The Cause and Cause of Death
Zheng Jiaojiao was the daughter of the Duke of Wei, who spent his entire life on the frontier and had only two daughters.
One is named Zheng Yuanyuan, and the other is named Zheng Jiaojiao.
The former was the eldest, and she followed the Duke of Wei on the battlefield from a young age. Her merits were so great that she was worthy of being ennobled. She was a rare heroine.
After the Duke of Wei died in battle, the Zheng family's army fell into the hands of Zheng Yuanyuan. But who would have thought that Zheng Yuanyuan would be assassinated just six months after taking over the army? The murderer has not been found to this day.
The latter had lived a happy life with her mother, Yun, since childhood, but when Zheng Jiaojiao was six years old, Yun died for unknown reasons.
Duke Wei originally intended to take her to the frontier as well, but Zheng Jiaojiao was not as robust as Zheng Yuanyuan and looked very frail.
Finally, having no other choice, the Duke of Wei sent the person to the Yun family, which was the family of his wife, Lady Yun.
The Yun family is a mysterious, reclusive clan, very powerful, and rarely known to outsiders.
However, this branch of the Yun family is considered marginal within the Yun family.
Originally, Zheng Jiaojiao was sent to her maternal grandparents' home, where she was taken care of and raised.
But who would have thought that she would be chosen by the main branch of the Yun family and become the apprentice of several masters in the main branch.
His status was elevated significantly.
Most importantly, after she returned to the capital, the reclusive Yun family actually sent people, who even met with the emperor.
This is tantamount to indicating a willingness to engage with the world.
From then on, with the Yun family as her backing, Zheng Jiaojiao's status became even more noble than that of the emperor's daughter.
After sensing that Zheng Jiaojiao had feelings for him, he deliberately approached her, intending to use her to take revenge.
But Yunxia got angry, very angry.
Left with no other choice, he told her about his hatred, thinking she would understand. But to his surprise, while she did understand, she disagreed.
She said: "I can help you with your revenge, but you must never have any involvement with other women. You, Fu Yanji, can only have me in your life."
He didn't take her words to heart at all and continued to associate with Zheng Jiaojiao.
After a period of time, I didn't see Yunxia. Then one day, I suddenly heard about her reputation as a miracle doctor, and many powerful and influential people from the capital came to thank her.
He only found out later that she actually had that special ability.
It really shocked him!
I remember her standing with her hands on her hips, beaming with an incredibly radiant smile, and saying to him: "How about it? I can help you get revenge too."
After that, he did indeed stop seeing Zheng Jiaojiao.
But one day, the emperor suddenly summoned him to an audience and immediately asked him to change his wife.
He disagreed, and the last emperor openly threatened him that if he did not comply, he would kill Hua Xia and his foster mother.
He had no choice but to agree to a divorce with Yunxia.
But things often don't go as planned. What the emperor and his men wanted was never for him and Yunxia to separate, but for her life.
No, I want the abilities she possesses.
At first, he didn't know how they came up with this idea.
In the end, Fu Cheng revealed to him that it was Zheng Jiaojiao and the Yun family's idea.
They say Yunxia is from another world, and there's a way to obtain Yunxia's abilities.
Human hearts are inherently greedy. Even those who had been healed by Yunxia would forget all gratitude and favor when they learned they could gain her abilities.
They committed acts of ingratitude and despicable acts.
In the end, he chose his adoptive mother and China, abandoning her.
Fu Yanji was thinking about many "what ifs".
If Yunxia didn't love him, she wouldn't have revealed her abilities for him.
If he had known about Yunxia's abilities earlier, he would have advised her to keep them hidden.
If he hadn't been blinded by hatred and focused solely on taking shortcuts to revenge, Yunxia wouldn't have willingly revealed her abilities.
Or, if she had never met him, things wouldn't have ended this way...
boom!
A heavy thud came from the courtyard. Fu Yanji snapped out of his daze and looked towards the courtyard, where he saw his foster mother lying motionless on the ground.
He felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest. He hurriedly got up, ran over, picked up his adoptive mother, and carefully checked her breathing.
They breathed a huge sigh of relief when they found there was still gas.
I carried her to the bed and laid her down, then immediately went to fetch a doctor.

The whole family sat together, but one seat was empty.
When Grand Tutor Fu learned from the servants that San'er had gone to that lowly maid, his face darkened.
Madam Fu's lips curled up as she looked at Grand Tutor Fu with sarcasm, saying that not only should this boy not be acknowledged, but he should also be killed immediately.
They just wouldn't listen, and treated it like a treasure.
See? All he cares about is that lowly maid.
"Father, don't be angry. Too much has happened lately. Third Brother is in a bad mood. He probably went to the abandoned courtyard to calm down."
Fu Cheng's personality is different from that of Grand Tutor Fu and Old Madam Fu; he is a gambler.
Although his third brother had grudges against them, it didn't stop him from using him to achieve some ulterior motives by using Zheng Jiaojiao.
Therefore, on the surface, he was genuinely tolerant and kind to Fu Yanji.
Madam Fu glared at her eldest son. She knew very well what he was thinking and strongly disapproved of it.
Isn't he afraid that kid will team up with Zheng Jiaojiao to turn against them?
To be honest, Fu Cheng wasn't afraid at all, because he knew what the emperor was really thinking.
His true backer was the emperor, never the Fu family, nor the Yun family behind Zheng Jiaojiao.
Fu Feng glanced at his eldest brother and echoed, "Third brother has relied on his adoptive mother since childhood, so it's understandable that they have a deep bond. This also shows that third brother is a sentimental person."
The women at another table nearby, upon hearing this, all scoffed, thinking, "They're all sentimental."
Would someone who truly values relationships give up Huo Yunxia?
And you just stood by and watched her die a horrible death?
Grand Tutor Fu sighed and waved his hand, "Let's eat!"
In fact, Grand Tutor Fu had already regretted it. He shouldn't have killed the other four children to please Zhaozhao (Old Madam Fu).
Since giving birth to Feng'er, Zhao Zhao has never been pregnant again, which has resulted in him having few children.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken Fu Yanji back even after knowing he might hate her.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Fu Cheng. Fortunately, his eldest son was capable and could keep him in check, so he wasn't afraid that he would bring disaster to the Fu family one day.

Li Nanle woke up at three in the morning, felt the superpower within her body, and smiled, looking very happy.
After washing up, she began preparing to make steamed buns and mantou.
Because there weren't enough to sell yesterday, she made an extra 50 jin of flour today.
Whether it's kneading dough or making steamed buns and mantou, machines do it all; the only thing she needs to do manually is wash the vegetables.
There is a river in the space, the water is crystal clear, and the place is spacious, making it perfect for washing large quantities of vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, put them into a blender to chop them up and mix them into the filling.
Once that's done, the rest is handed over to the machine.
She only needs to use her mind to store the prepared buns and steamed bread into the warehouse.
Before coming on Friday, she set up the steamers one by one with vines, so that she could just start the fire and steam them when she arrived on Friday.
