After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Sun Niang was puzzled, but seeing the large bag of things Yun Zhao was carrying, which smelled delicious with meat, she swallowed hard and opened the door anyway.

Although there was something to be gained in the kitchen, only the managers could do so; the cooks couldn't.

The cook in Sun Niang's house had worked for the Song family for several years. She also had elderly parents and young children to support, so she lived a very frugal life.

When the others in the room saw Sun Niang leading Yun Zhao in, they didn't understand what she had come for.

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, ladies, today is my birthday. I bought some good wine and food to celebrate, but unfortunately my older sister and younger sister don't drink..."

Sun Niang chimed in, "You want us to accompany you?"

Yun Zhao placed the wine and dishes on the table, saying, "Aunt Sun is right."

As she spoke, she laid out several dishes to accompany the wine and took out five wine bowls, but the four women, including Sun Niang, looked at her warily.

“Xiaoyun,” Sun Niang said distantly, “we are not related to you, you should go back.”

Why would anyone give them food and drinks for no reason?

Although it was very tempting, they were still able to resist.

Seeing their defensiveness, Yun Zhao said helplessly, "Aunt Sun, to be honest, actually..."

"Actually, I wanted to hear about the gossip you were talking about at noon, about Second Master."

Yun Zhao's eyes lit up instantly. "You guys don't know, I love listening to gossip the most. You only told half of that gossip, and it made me feel like a cat was scratching my heart."

Sun Niang breathed a sigh of relief; so that's how it is.

In that case, it would be even more unacceptable for Yun Zhao to attack them with wine and meat.

She found out by accident, and unable to keep it to herself, she gossiped about it with her roommates. Her roommates were all tight-lipped and wouldn't tell anyone.

If I tell Yun Zhao, and she spreads the word, I'll be dead.

“Xiaoyun,” Sun Niang said with difficulty, “Manager Fu forbids us from discussing our master, so you should go back.”

Yun Zhao made a pained face and said "Ah," then clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Aunt Sun, please have mercy and tell me. I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't understand."

She promised, "I promise, I will never tell anyone!"

Yun Zhao pestered them for a long time before Sun Niang finally agreed (for the sake of the wine and meat).

After lighting the lamps, the five women sat around the table. Yun Zhao picked up a wine jar and filled it for them. "Aunties, please try this. It's pear blossom wine. It won't make you drunk, and it won't interfere with our work tomorrow."

After pouring the wine, she invited the group to eat vegetables and meat. With wine and meat, there were bound to be stories. Sun Niang quickly told them what she had heard, and the others also shared some gossip they knew.

Yun Zhao was a master at praising others; she would occasionally let out a gasp of surprise, which made the group talk more and more, and they talked non-stop like spilling beans.

Actually, Yun Zhao only wanted to hear about Song Qingyang, the second master of the Song family, but Sun Niang and the others kept talking without any end in sight, so she had no choice but to listen along.

The more Yun Zhao listened, the more interesting it became, and he didn't want to go back.

The five people waiting for news inside: "..."

Why hasn't Zhao Zhao (Junior Sister) come back yet?

Yun Zhao was still engrossed in listening, but fortunately she still had some sense of reason. Just as she was about to find an excuse to go back, she heard Sun Niang mention the second son of the eldest son's family.

“Aunt Sun,” Yun Zhao’s eyes flickered, “who is this second young master you’re talking about? Doesn’t the eldest son’s family only have one son, the young master?”

The Song family had few direct descendants; apart from Song Zhiyuan, all the other children were girls.

That's why, when she caught Second Master Song and Madam Song having a secret rendezvous that night, Second Master Song spoke so fondly of Madam Song.

After all, Madam Song was carrying his child, and the doctor had diagnosed it as a boy.

Sun Niang said mysteriously, "You don't know this, the Second Young Master is the illegitimate son of the head of the family."

"Back then, for the sake of the Second Young Master and his mother, Madam Yuan, the head of the family divorced the young master's mother, who was formerly the First Madam."

Yun Zhao feigned surprise, "And then what? I've been in the manor for so long, why have I never seen the Second Young Master?"

“Alas,” Sun Niang sighed, “That Lady Yuan was extremely favored. The divorced First Madam, in order to prevent the Second Young Master from surpassing the Young Master, poisoned Lady Yuan and made her stupid.”

"Men are all fickle and heartless. Madam Yuan is mentally unstable and acts like a three-year-old child. Over time, the head of the family has come to despise her."

"Later, Madam Yuan and the second young master were driven to live in the courtyard in the southwest. The two of them, one mentally challenged and the other small, were bullied every day."

Sun Niang sighed, "Speaking of which, I have also had dealings with the Second Young Master. When the Second Young Master was born, the head of the family doted on him. After Madam Yuan fell out of favor, he was reduced to fighting with wild dogs for food."

“I also have children at home. Although I had no money or power at the time, I could still send a few steamed buns to my second son every day.”

Yun Zhao clenched his fists. "Aunt Sun, but when I went there to deliver food before, I didn't see Madam Yuan and the Second Young Master."

Sun Niang waved her hand, "Of course you won't see him. Madam Yuan has long since passed away, and the Second Young Master has also disappeared. Nobody knows where he went."

Yun Zhao lowered his brows. "So that's how it is."

That second young master must be Qi Yan. After Madam Yuan died, he was imprisoned in the dungeon. The Song family head used a secret technique to bind him to Song Zhiyuan, making him a substitute to shield Song Zhiyuan from disaster.

Yun Zhao subtly inquired about the old nanny's affairs again, but Sun Niang didn't know either, so she had no choice but to give up.

When Yun Zhao returned, Qi Yan and Xiao Tong were already itching to go find her.

They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return safely.

Without wasting any words, Yun Zhao told the others what she had overheard.

It turns out that Second Master Song had some kind of leverage over the head of the Song family, and he wanted to use that leverage to blackmail the head of the Song family into handing over the position to him.

But the head of the Song family already knew about his plan and had arrested Second Master Song ahead of time.

The First Madam was not spared either. The Song family head had long known that his second brother had cheated on him, but he had kept quiet all this time, just in order to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

“So that’s how it is,” Qi Yan said speechlessly. “I thought Song Qingyang had become smarter, but he’s still as stupid as before.”

Yun Zhao asked curiously, "Ayan, you seem to know this Second Master Song very well."

Qi Yan chuckled, "I know him very well. When I was in the Song family, he often acted like an elder and made me serve him."

Actually, in his previous life, Song Qingyang was arrested on the orders of the Song family head. He was tricked by him 81 times, but he still fell for the trick on the 82nd time. What else could he be but stupid?

Yun Zhao frowned. "How did he bully you?"

Seeing her like that, Qi Yan knew she wanted to avenge him.

He patted Yun Zhao's head. "I wasn't bullied, but he just wanted to take advantage of me and make me humble and subservient. After all, he's a good-for-nothing with no say in the Song family, so he wanted to get back at the weaker people."

Qi Yan laughed and said, "As long as I respectfully call him 'Second Master,' he'll be overjoyed."
