This is the little brother who had fought for her with his life in their past life; she would definitely cherish him.
Mrs. Han smiled, "You are a good child!"
Yun Jinnian did not ask whose child Han Tianci was; she only needed to know that Han Tianci was born of the same mother and that they were siblings.
As for the rest, she did not care much.
Lady Dongfang came over with Dongfang Fu and Dongfang Rong, all three of them smiling more warmly and respectfully than they had during their previous encounter.
"Second Lady Yun, Fourth Miss!" said Lady Dongfang, with the added respect of a formal bow.
Dongfang Fu and Dongfang Rong also followed suit with their bows.
Mrs. Han hurried forward to lift Lady Dongfang up, "There is no need for such formalities!"
"It’s all thanks to the Fourth Miss’s unparalleled medical skills that the master’s poison could finally be neutralized; he has just fallen asleep!" Lady Dongfang said, bowing deeply again.
The life Yun Jinnian saved was not only Dongfang Jingtian’s, but the entire Dongfang family’s.
Now Dongfang Huo was still young, and many matters had not yet been handed over to him; however, in the small Hezhuang, several major families coveted the position of City Lord. Without Dongfang Jingtian holding it down, the position of City Lord might be hard to preserve.
Once they were all seated, Lady Dongfang spoke with Mrs. Han, while Dongfang Fu and Dongfang Rong pulled Yun Jinnian aside to chat, looking at her with extreme admiration.
"Sister’s method earlier was truly amazing; it scared me but also excited me!" Dongfang Rong said, recalling the event with some trepidation.
Those disgusting worms, to think they were inside their father’s body and there were so many of them!
"My maternal grandfather’s medical skills are even more impressive!"
"Of course, Divine Doctor Han is well-known, even to someone like me who stays in the women’s quarters all the time. He must be incredibly skilled!"
Dinner was served in the guest house with a large table of dishes. Lady Dongfang, along with her daughters-in-law and daughter, personally accompanied the meal. Yun Jinnian had eaten light vegetarian meals at Huguo Temple for nearly three months and found it somewhat difficult to eat the rich dishes, opting for a bowl of chicken soup and some vegetarian dishes instead.
"Sister, is the food not to your liking?" Dongfang Fu asked with concern.
These dishes were prepared by the best cook in the household; if they did not suit Yun Jinnian’s taste, it seemed they might have to hire a new cook.
"No, it’s just that I’ve been staying at Huguo Temple for a while, and my taste hasn’t adjusted back yet!"
Upon Yun Jinnian’s explanation, Dongfang Fu understood.
She quickly served Yun Jinnian a bowl of soup, "Sister, try this White Jade Soup. It’s made with tofu and is very light!"
Yun Jinnian thanked her and took a sip, "It is indeed delicious!"
After dinner, Lady Dongfang sat for a while before going to take care of Dongfang Jingtian, and Dongfang Fu and Dongfang Rong went with her.
Mrs. Han and Yun Jinnian washed up and prepared for an early rest.
Yun Jinnian was gently wiping a string of beads when Mrs. Han looked over and smiled, "What is this?"
"It was given to me by Master Micheng!"
Yun Jinnian was very gentle and cautious.
Mrs. Han watched for a while without saying much, then lay down on the bed.
After wiping the beads and putting them away in a brocade box, Yun Jinnian recited a Buddhist scripture once more before lying down next to Mrs. Han.
"What does little brother look like? Is he cute?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han was stunned for a long time before saying, "I haven’t seen him since your brother was born!"
"Why not?" Yun Jinnian asked, puzzled.
Why not see him? Didn’t Mother love her little brother?
"If Mother doesn’t see you, naturally she won’t see your little brother. But I never expected the Yun family to treat you this way," Mrs. Han said, bitterness filling her heart.
Yun Jinnian exhaled, taking Mrs. Han’s hand, "I used to feel aggrieved, but now I think about it, I have my loving maternal grandfather, my mother, and soon a cute little brother. Why should I feel aggrieved?"
Those who know me say I harbor worries; those who don’t wonder what I seek!
Yun Jinnian did not know what exactly happened back then that caused her father and mother to split, and her mother to bear a child that the Yun family was completely unaware of.
And as for the Yun family, who did not treat her as human, how could she regard them as relatives.
