Such a good woman, yet she was betrayed by others.
And Chu Renzhi even indirectly harmed Elder Chen...
Yun Jinnian sighed deeply.
Chu Yu held Yun Jinnian’s hand, "Jinnian, I will not let you down!"
Deep in his bones, in his soul, he had recognized Yun Jinnian.
In this lifetime, he would only recognize Yun Jinnian.
Some might call it obsession, but Chu Yu liked the feeling of having someone in his heart, especially knowing that person also held him in hers—it was a feeling so wonderful that he wanted to scream out in madness.
Yun Jinnian smiled tenderly and leaned into Chu Yu’s embrace, "I trust you!"
Their fingers intertwined.
In this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
Yun Jinnian didn’t even know when she fell asleep, but Chu Yu gently cradled her, placing her on the bed.
He swallowed, wanting to steal a kiss before leaving.
But he felt his nose warm and slightly sweet; Chu Yu sniffed.
His nose was bleeding again.
He quickly grabbed a handkerchief to cover his nose and walked over to the cradle. Seeing Leng Nuan with eyes wide open looking at him, he touched Leng Nuan’s forehead and said, "Little rascal, just like your dad, so annoying. Go to sleep, don’t make a sound and wake your aunt, or I’ll spank you!"
He then gently rocked the cradle, soothing Leng Nuan to sleep before quietly leaving.
But he didn’t see that Leng Nuan in the cradle slowly opened his eyes again, those dark, unfathomable eyes, as he moved his chubby little hands slightly.
The corners of his mouth curved into a cold, bloodthirsty, and profound smile.
Clearly, only his mother had been reborn, and this Uncle Rui Wang who had loved his mother all his life had a face as thick as ever.
But, he had become much more endearing.
Yet, it seemed his mother had not recognized him...
Yun Jinnian woke up early to clean up Leng Nuan’s mess and feed him rice paste, played with him for a while, then got up to head to the Duan Residence.
"Miss, you have a letter!" Hemei came in with the letter.
Yun Jinnian’s face changed dramatically, "Hemei, quickly throw away the letter in your hand!"
Hemei obeyed and immediately threw the letter away, only to find her hand turning black and losing sensation.
Yun Jinnian quickly took a pill from her bosom for Hemei to swallow and took out a silver needle to let her blood.
Only when red blood flowed did Yun Jinnian breathe a sigh of relief.
She took Hemei’s pulse.
"Miss, you didn’t wipe your hand just now!" Hemei said cautiously.
Yun Jinnian glanced at Hemei, "Do you think your mistress really has that many manners?"
It was just her germophobia.
And there were always men when she went to take a pulse; as a woman, she had to follow some proprieties.
"Hehe!" Hemei giggled foolishly.
After making sure Hemei was safe, Yun Jinnian sprinkled some medicine powder on the letter and reached for it.
"Miss, it’s poisoned!" Hemei exclaimed.
"It’s been neutralized!"
Yun Jinnian said as she opened the letter.
It read, "Do not meddle in affairs that don’t concern you!"
"It’s because of the Duan Family again!" Yun Jinnian spoke indifferently, putting down the letter.
She beckoned Hemei closer and whispered a few words in her ear, "Go!"
Looking at her unharmed hand, she exhaled.
To arrange what Yun Jinnian had instructed.
Yun Jinnian still left home, with few attendants, only Hemei and Henuan, and Uncle Cheng driving the carriage.
Straight to the Duan Family she went.
Yun Jinnian sat inside the carriage, gently toying with the bracelet on her wrist. It was a gift from Chu Yu on her eleventh birthday, and she had never used it.
Wondering if she would have to use it today...
An arrow flew and stuck in the carriage, its tail wobbling, emitting a piercing sound.
