Chapter 785: Hidden Circumstances (4)_1
"Father, I’m going back first," Yang Baichuan glanced at his bloodied younger brother and turned to leave Yang Baixiang’s room, finding the sight disturbingly eerie.
"Old Five?" Yang Peili called out to his youngest son. "How are you?"
Yang Baixiang opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Don’t blame your mother. She didn’t mean it," Yang Peili sighed. "You should rest well." After saying this, he stood up and left the room.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruyu tugged at Feng Caie’s sleeve in the courtyard.
Understanding the cue, the two women excused themselves to the backyard under the pretext of needing the outhouse.
"Mother, this is an opportunity," Yang Ruyu’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"What opportunity?" Feng Caie frowned.
"An opportunity to get on their good side," Yang Ruyu whispered. "You should know that Uncle Xiaowu is the one Yang Dani cares about the most. Now that Uncle Xiaowu is like this, if anything should happen..." She halted, then continued, "When Uncle Xiaowu was poisoned last time, Yang Dani was furious..."
Feng Caie pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Then who will inform her?" She clearly couldn’t go out.
"I’ll go," Yang Ruyu smiled. "It’s not appropriate for you to go right now."
"Then hurry, don’t let him die," Feng Caie nodded, and then peered into the side room, "I saw a lot of blood, that handful of ash couldn’t possibly stop it..." She felt disheartened by the family’s coldness to fairness, thinking if even their own son could be treated this way, what would happen if it were her turn? She began to entertain the idea of separating from the family.
