The elderly Mrs. Yun’s forehead broke out in cold sweat as she panicked.
She would rather die than admit to it.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could it possibly be , it definitely couldn’t be , how could it be ? I wouldn’t do such a thing, how could I ever do such a thing, I, I..."
As Mrs. Yun rambled on, she confused herself.
Yun Qi saw it all and suddenly, everything beca clear to him.
"Mother, it’s getting late. You should go back," said Yun Qi and, after speaking, he lay down and closed his eyes.
Mrs. Yun did not dare to stay longer and stumbled out of the room.
Nanny Tian imdiately stepped forward to support her, feeling the sweat in her palms and her entire body trembling with fear. Worried, she softly called out, "Old Madam..."
"Back to Cixin Academy!"
Her heart filled with even more hatred toward Yun Jinnian.
She felt Yun Jinnian was a disaster. Without her return, Mrs. Han wouldn’t have stirred up trouble at ho. But ever since she ca back, Mrs. Han started causing commotion, and now even her own son began to doubt her.
She truly had an unspeakable bitterness.
In the room, on the large bed,
Yun Qi lay there silently shedding tears.
Shu Niang, you were right, you were always right.
Once, he had thought Shu Niang was rely resentful towards him for breaking his promise by taking a concubine. Now, he realized, it wasn’t just about that.
In vain had Yun Qi prided himself on being clever. Now it seed he was just a fool.
"Shu Niang..."
If you wish to distance yourself from the Yun Family, I must grant you this wish. You should leave with your head held high, and even outside these walls, no one should say a single word against you!
During the night, Mrs. Han did not return ho but stayed at Niannian Garden.
She shared a bed with Yun Jinnian, listening to her recount the trip to Nanjiang.
"Jinnian!"
"Hmm?"
"Do you have feelings for King Rui?" Mrs. Han asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian’s body stiffened and slowly relaxed. "I have feelings for him."
Chu Yu had treated her so well; how could she not have feelings for him?
Mrs. Han felt relieved yet also bittersweet.
In a blink of an eye, her daughter had grown so much.
Thirteen—a beautiful age when one should be carefree, but because of her, her daughter had beco overly cautious and unusually cold and detached.
Even when speaking of the man she had affection for, her voice was very calm, devoid of any shy or expectant undertone.
"If you have feelings for His Highness King Rui, then go for it!"
Yun Jinnian responded with a "Hmm."
She and Chu Yu wanted to be together openly and legitimately. It would likely not be smooth sailing, but she was prepared and unafraid.
"If you have feelings for him, let him know your thoughts!"
"Hmm!"
"But you should maintain your dignity as a young lady, and not be reckless to the point of drawing idle gossip or tarnishing your reputation."
"Hmm!"
Mrs. Han held Yun Jinnian’s hand, which was ice cold, causing her so concern, "They say a doctor cannot heal themselves. In a few days, when we return to the Han Family, how about letting your grandfather take a look at you?"
"Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine!"
"Are you truly fine?" Mrs. Han was still not reassured.
"I’m fine!"
It was just that there were too many Spiritual Poisonous Insects in her body draining her essence, and having consud Snow Lotus, it made her body rather cold. The master had said co winter, she would feel warr.
A kind of constitution that fears neither the cold in winter nor the heat in sumr.
Whether it was true or not would be determined in the winter.
"As long as you are okay. Let’s get so sleep early."
"Okay!"
Yun Jinnian agreed, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Yun Jinnian suddenly woke up.
Her heart was racing. In her dream, Momo had confronted her, asking if she didn’t want him anymore, which made Yun Jinnian feel incredibly guilty.
She reached into her clothes and pulled out a brocade pouch, took out the beads inside, held them in her hands and pressed them against her cheek.
Only then did her heart gradually calm down.
