"I'll never dare visit the shops of such a black-hearted family again. Who knows when they might swindle us to death!"
"That's right. I won't dare buy anything from the Yun Family again, either!"
"I decided long ago that I'd never shop at the Yun Family's stores again. With hearts that black, the goods in their stores must be just as rotten!"
"Especially the food we've eaten all these years. What if it kills someone?"
"Yes, yes! None of us will go!"
Yun Zhiyou hadn't even needed to lift a finger before the townspeople began boycotting the Yun Family's goods!
Seeing that things were going terribly wrong, Yun Ling hurriedly explained:
"We've been deceived by the servants all these years, too. Once we learned what Zhiyou had suffered, we wanted to make it up to her!
We had no other intentions!"
One of the young wastrels sneered:
"Yun Zhiyou was only six when she was driven into that secluded courtyard, and now she's in her teens. After all those years, you expect anyone to believe you didn't know what she was going through?
This wasn't a day or two of abuse. It went on year after year. How could you not know?
Even if the servants really did pull the wool over your eyes, did you never go and see her?
One look at where she lived would have told you everything!
If you knew nothing, that only proves you dumped her in that secluded courtyard and never bothered with her again, leaving her to live or die on her own!
Besides, without your tacit approval, what servant would dare treat their own young mistress like that?
Now you're claiming you knew nothing. Who are you trying to fool?
Does your Yun Family really take everyone for idiots?"
"Exactly.
