Chapter 24 The Second Brother I've Never Met Before
Yun Juan's motto is: "If you're a dragon, you'd better coil up in front of me; if you're a tiger, you'd better lie down. If I indulge you, then it's my fault."
Wei Wan also stood up: "You all seem to have forgotten that Quan'er is my child, and everything I have belongs to her! You should all stop thinking about it!"
Wei Wan got up and quickly left with Yun Juan, leaving everyone else looking at each other with unreadable expressions.
“Mother, you seem to have changed…” Yun Juan thought that when she first entered the Yun family, her mother was a very rigid person, even the kind who would swallow her anger.
However, Yun Juan later discovered that Wei was a very stubborn person at heart; she had her own opinions and ideas.
“I endured it all before because you were in their hands, Mother…” Wei Wan said, tears streaming down her face.
Yun Quan understood that she was afraid that if she didn't humble herself and act subserviently, they would retaliate against her.
But Wei may never understand that the daughter she longed for had died on her way back, and the daughter in front of her had long since been replaced by a different soul.
"Mother, I want to go see my second brother!" Yun Juan suddenly remembered that she could ask Madam Wei to accompany her.
No one knows their child better than a mother.
Madam Wei hesitated for a moment: "Quan'er, your second brother's condition... is not very good!"
"It's alright, Mother. I also want to meet this second brother I've never met before! I've been back in the Yun family for so long, I should at least meet him!" Yun Juan wanted to see just how serious his illness was.
After hesitating for a long time, Wei nodded in agreement.
Soon the two arrived at the door of Yunrui's residence. The place was desolate, with fallen leaves everywhere and a lot of dust at the door, indicating that no one had cleaned it.
Yun Juan thought that her second brother probably didn't like having many people, so there were no maids or servants in the courtyard to do the cleaning. Only Qing Tong accompanied him and served him meals and grooming.
Madam Wei stepped forward and knocked on the door twice: "Rui'er, it's your mother!"
No one inside responded.
"Madam, what brings you here?" Sunlight streamed through the clouds into the courtyard as Qing Tong carefully walked in from outside, carrying a wooden basin full of clothes.
His steps were light and steady, as if he were afraid of disturbing the tranquil atmosphere.
The clothes in the basin swayed gently as she walked, making a soft rustling sound.
Qing Tong wore a faint smile, her eyes focused intently ahead, and she bowed respectfully towards Wei Shi and Yun Quan.
"I came to see Rui'er!"
With a soft creak, as if breaking the silence of time, Qing Tong gently pushed open the heavy door, which made a slight creaking sound.
The door hinges seemed a bit rusty, making a slight friction sound when they turned, which reminded one of the passage of time and the traces of history.
As the door slowly opened, a musty smell wafted out, carrying a faint scent of wood and dust.
Yun Quan and Lady Wei followed closely behind.
Yun Juan frowned slightly, getting used to the unfamiliar scent.
The sight that came into view made her heart tighten.
Her second brother was sitting quietly in a wheelchair in a dimly lit room.
The windows were tightly covered by heavy curtains, as if shutting out all the light from the outside world, preventing even a ray of sunlight from penetrating.
The entire space was filled with a depressing and oppressive atmosphere, making people feel suffocated.
Yunrui's hair was disheveled and fell over his shoulders and back. He sat quietly in his wheelchair, as if he had lost the vitality of life and the support of his soul.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, devoid of any light, as if all emotion and vitality had been drained from them.
Her body leaned slightly forward, her hands hanging limply on her knees, her fingers trembling slightly, as if telling of the deep pain and helplessness in her heart.
His lips were tightly closed, his face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and he looked like a walking corpse.
"Second...brother?" Yun Juan asked tentatively.
The person in the wheelchair slowly raised his head, his eyes still terrifyingly empty!
"Rui'er, look who I brought!" Madam Wei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and tried to lead Yun Juan to his wheelchair.
"Get out...get out...get out of here! Go away! Don't see me like this...don't...go away...go away..." Yunrui was like a frightened little bird.
They stared wide-eyed, panicked, as if the end of the world was coming.
His body trembled slightly, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was trying to control his emotions.
Seeing his half-dead state and hearing the words he uttered, Yun Juan was furious!
So what if he's in a wheelchair? How did it become like he's lost his life?
She rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar, and slapped him twice across the face: "How's that? Are you awake now? If you're not, I don't mind slapping you twice more!"
"Quan'er!" When Madam Wei saw that Yun Quan dared to hit her second brother, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the scene unfolding before her, her mouth slightly open but unable to utter a sound.
She hadn't expected Yun Juan to act so impulsively.
“Mother, don’t worry about this! There are many people in wheelchairs! Is he the only one? They’re all half-dead, right?” Yun Juan still held onto his collar. Perhaps because Yun Rui hadn’t seen the sun for many years, his body was getting thinner and thinner.
Yun Juan could easily lift him up, while Qing Tong beside her remained silent, head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.
The moment Wei's mother called out to Juan'er, Qing Tong knew that this was the young lady who had been sent to the estate at a very young age.
As for the incident of the eldest young lady hitting the second young master, he thought it was a good thing, to make the second young master come to his senses.
The second young master ate very little, only taking a few bites at each meal before putting the rest down.
Moreover, he was unwilling to go out and meet people, and he locked himself in his room all day, feeling depressed.
His body grew thinner day by day, and his face became frighteningly pale.
His eyes revealed a deep weariness and helplessness.
If this continues, he's afraid the second young master won't be able to hold on!
Seeing the second young master's increasingly haggard appearance, he was extremely anxious, but he didn't know how to help him.
Thank goodness the young lady arrived!
Upon seeing the young lady, a sense of inexplicable peace welled up within me.
For some reason, just looking at her determined and confident appearance, he was convinced that the young lady would definitely be able to save the second young master.
It was as if the young lady exuded a powerful aura, making people believe that she was capable of solving any problem.
At this moment, he could only pray silently, hoping that the young lady would open the second young master's heart and bring him back into the sunlight.
He watched this scene quietly. Although Wei's mother was heartbroken, she understood that Yun Juan was saving him.
