Chapter 140: Earth-Shattering Changes

However, the members of the Yun family secretly applauded in their hearts upon hearing Yun Shang's sudden and impassioned outburst!

Through Grand Preceptor Xikong, Yun Zui had learned that she and the ancient Yun Zui were actually one and the same; right now, she was simply having one of her souls restored to her. The ancient Yun Zui was her, and she was the ancient Yun Zui!

Furthermore, after staying in this body for some time, Yun Zui gradually began to recover the memories of the ancient Yun Zui.

Whenever those memories of the ancient Yun Zui surfaced, Yun Zui would be infuriated by the scenes they contained.

It could be said that the modern Yun Zui had never suffered any bullying, whereas the ancient Yun Zui had been bullied almost every single day.

The contrast was simply too stark!

Therefore, Yun Zui almost thought that all the bullying she should have endured in her own life had instead been suffered vicariously by the ancient Yun Zui!

Foused by this inner resentment, Yun Zui's gaze grew increasingly cold, devoid of even a shred of warmth.

Yun Shang's arrogance from just a moment ago was instantly terrified by Yun Zui's icy stare.

In their memories, Yun Zui was merely a good-for-nothing who could be molded and squeezed at will. The current Yun Zui contrasted too sharply with the previous one!

While finding it somewhat hard to accept, they couldn't help but wonder how a person could change so drastically.

Could it be that anyone who died once and came back to life would undergo such earth-shaking changes?!

Or was the Yun Zui before them an impostor?

"Yun Yao holds the rank of Imperial Consort Yun, yet you dared to address her as Second Younger Sister. Does this not violate certain taboos? As for myself, I am the Dowager Imperial Concubine. As a woman belonging to the late Emperor, how could my status ever be compared to that of an ordinary Imperial Consort?! Or is it that in your eyes, personal feelings outweigh the laws and discipline of the court?! How were you taught your manners?"

Yun Zui's voice was exceptionally sharp, and paired with her piercing gaze, it inevitably caused Yun Shang to shudder.

The current Yun Zui hadn't just changed—she had changed completely, undergoing a heaven-shaking transformation!

She had turned into a completely different person!

"Please calm your anger, Your Ladyship. Shang'er merely spoke without thinking." Dou Saiqi could not help growing somewhat anxious.

Had Yun Shang suffered few enough losses at the hands of Yun Zui?

Not at all!

Now it appeared that Yun Shang was at a disadvantage once again.

Therefore, Dou Saiqi immediately stepped forward anxiously to plead for mercy.

It would have been better had Dou Saiqi remained silent, but the moment she spoke, Yun Zui's gaze instantly shifted onto her.

Yun Zui slowly rose from her chair, then walked step by step toward Dou Saiqi.

Seeing Yun Zui pressing closer step by step, Dou Saiqi felt a flutter of panic for reasons unknown, and she wanted to flee.

"Dou Saiqi, you are the matriarch of this household. If my memory serves me right, back when my mother fell gravely ill, I knelt before you, begging you to take pity on me and my mother and send for a physician.

"It was you who cruelly and heartlessly refused, telling me that if I knelt outside for three nights and days with sufficient sincerity, you would agree to summon a doctor. Yet when I fulfilled your condition and sought your help, you coldly informed me that my mother had already passed away in the night. I immediately tried to run to see my mother, but having knelt on the stones for three days and nights, my legs felt crippled and I could not run; I collapsed onto the ground, bashing my forehead until it bled. Not only did you show not a shred of sympathy, but you also allowed Yun Shang, Yun Yao, Yun Xi, and Yun Mo of the Yun family to seize upon my weakness and bully me twofold!"

With that, Yun Zui's gaze fiercely darted toward Yun Tai. Her expression was extremely chilling as she gritted her teeth and said, "Back when I was at the General's Mansion, you used my mother's spirit tablet to coerce me into returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You were shrewd enough to achieve your goal, but you surely didn't expect that I would notice the tablet was brand new. If I am not mistaken, it was hastily manufactured by your subordinates just then! In truth, within your heart, a woman as lowly as my mother was probably never worthy of having a spirit tablet in the first place!"
