Yes, had she known earlier that the honor or disgrace of one reflects upon all, how could she have allowed her sisters to ridicule and bully Yun Jinnian, letting outsiders learn of it?
Though not everyone knew the whispers and gossip, those prominent families were definitely aware.
Nowadays, how many households no longer keep in touch with the Yun Family, not inviting them to banquets, or refusing to attend when invited?
It was only now that she realized, if things continued this way, she would have no chance at a favorable marriage.
Therefore, she must reconcile with Yun Jinnian, letting everyone know that those were merely unfounded rumors, that the Yun sisters had a strong relationship, and Yun Jinnian had not been mistreated in the residence.
"Big sister, please go back!" said Yun Jinnian, then got up, intending to enter the study.
Yun Muyou reached out to grab Yun Jinnian, who turned back, glanced indifferently at Yun Muyou’s extended hand, "What does big sister intend to do? Reach out to pull me, or to push me away?"
Yun Muyou looked at her own hand, then slowly withdrew it.
Clenching her fist, she said coldly, "Younger sister, if you won’t help me today, you’d best not come seeking my aid in the future!"
"Don’t worry, big sister, I think, that day will never come!" Yun Jinnian said indifferently.
She wouldn’t beg for help over such trivia.
After Yun Muyou spoke, she turned and left.
The maid Dong Ge’er quickly followed after.
Yun Muyou arrived in a state of anxiety and left in anger.
Yun Jinnian observed this, simply furrowing her brows faintly. If Yun Muyou were a good sister, or even if it had been Yun Zihan, she would not stand by idly.
As for the Yun Family, the only one she cared for was Yun Zihan.
With an indifferent sigh, Yun Jinnian walked to the study, picked up a Medical Book, and slowly flipped through it.
"This servant is here!"
"Tell mother that I will come to Qiyue Academy to have dinner with her this evening!"
Her mother truly cared for her, so she hoped to make up for the years they missed out on from now on.
Henuan answered and departed for Qiyue Academy.
She returned soon after to tell Yun Jinnian that Mrs. Han said she would prepare delicious food for the evening.
Yun Jinnian smiled and continued reading her book.
Yun Muyou was crying as she ran into Mrs. He’s room, throwing herself into her arms and beginning to cry.
"What’s the matter? What’s the matter?" Mrs. He was terribly anxious.
Crying for no apparent reason?
"Mother, Yun Jinnian is too bullying. I just asked her to invite the second young lady from the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence to visit, but she said she couldn’t do it and even mocked me, claiming that she would never seek my help in the future!" Yun Muyou cried even harder.
This time, she had truly become the laughingstock of the entire Capital City.
Mrs. He felt sorry for Yun Muyou, but she also realized the gravity of the situation.
Especially after the third day of the New Year, returning from the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, their house did not receive a single invitation, while several major clans in the Capital City had already hosted banquets, and many daughters from those families had attended, yet the Yun Family had not been invited even once.
The old lady was unaware, still thinking that no one had hosted a banquet.
But she knew, and since the third day of the New Year, the master had also gone out less for social engagements, and their three sons, who were always out and about, now bore worried expressions on their faces!
All of this she knew, but knowing was one thing, solving it was another, and there was no way to solve it.
While comforting Yun Muyou, Mrs. He thought for a moment before saying, "Your fourth sister has a Divine Doctor as a maternal grandfather, and she is his only granddaughter. When her grandfather returned to the Capital City, the Emperor sent a Personal Guard to welcome him at the city gates. Just that alone is enough for her to be sought after among the powerful and privileged!"
Yun Muyou looked at Mrs. He in shock.
"Youyou, seeking out Jinnian was the right move, but over these years, we know how we have treated her, and she knows it too. It’s an undeniable fact. You shouldn’t have gone by yourself; you should have sent your second sister Zihan!"
