Mrs. Yun was not only furious but also terrified and frightened.
This was her son, yet today, upon seeing him, there was no longer the intimacy of the past, nor the warmth that once existed.
Back then, she never intended to sche against him. She didn’t know why he beca the target later, and the servant involved had disappeared without a trace, his fate unknown. She feared soone might find out.
"Bi-er..." Mrs. Yun softly called after sitting down.
"What does mother need?"
Yun Bi replied gently, looking at Mrs. Yun with a slight smile.
The smile was ambiguous, not reaching his eyes, carrying a sense of distance.
"I have no errands for you. Your courtyard has been maintained over the years, awaiting your return!" Mrs. Yun said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, mother!"
He turned to the servant, "Bring up the gifts!"
"Yes, master!"
Each person received the sa gifts. n got a set of writing tools, not particularly valuable.
The won received a set of red gold jewelry, all in identical designs.
"I’m not very good at buying things, so I just picked up a few random items. I’ll make up for it with better ones in the future!"
Mrs. Han smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Mrs. He laughed and said, "Third Master, if you marry a wife, your younger siblings will handle these matters!"
"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law. But for now, I have no intention of getting married!"
Mrs. He wanted to say more but was interrupted by Xu Xinmo’s charming laughter, "Third Uncle!"
Yun Bi looked at Xu Xinmo.
Was she Yun Hui’s daughter?
He liked Yun Hui even less.
Although a biological sister, he had no fondness for her.
Due to Yun Jinnian’s connection, he couldn’t warm up to Xu Xinmo either.
He responded indifferently, "Hmm!"
He handed the gift to Xu Xinmo, which was also a set of red gold jewelry.
"Thank you, Third Uncle!"
Despite the outdated design, Xu Xinmo didn’t mind.
She could have it remade into another style.
"Hmm!"
Again, he responded indifferently.
Xu Xinmo felt sowhat displeased. Did he dislike her?
But noticing the sa indifferent treatnt towards Yun Musi, Yun Mulan, and even Yun Zhen, Yun Yi, Yun Xuan, she felt reassured.
"Where is Jinnian?" Yun Bi asked.
Xu Xinmo was startled.
Mrs. Han smiled gently, "Her Niannian Garden is more secluded; she should be on her way to the hall now!"
A legitimate daughter of the second house, yet residing in the most secluded courtyard, who would believe it?
But it was indeed the truth!
"No matter, it’s just that we haven’t seen each other for so long. I wonder if she still rembers , her Third Uncle!"
"Of course she rembers. As soon as she heard Third Uncle returned, she rushed over. Did Third Uncle bring any good things?" Yun Jinnian said, entering the hall.
Yun Bi smiled at Yun Jinnian, "What I promised you back then, I naturally found for you. Take them back to Niannian Garden later and check if anything is missing. I’ll help you find the rest!"
"Thank you, Third Uncle!"
It was clear to anyone observant that Yun Bi treated Yun Jinnian differently.
At first, Xu Xinmo thought Yun Bi treated everyone equally, but seeing his favor towards Yun Jinnian, she beca dissatisfied.
"Third Uncle is biased! Why does my cousin get so many things while we only receive a set of jewelry?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Bi looked at Xu Xinmo, "Those were the dical books I promised to find for Jinnian. Do you want to read books too? Then you can borrow them from Jinnian!"
"Books..."
Xu Xinmo murmured softly.
She didn’t like reading.
"Yes, what did you think it was?" Yun Bi asked softly.
