Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 411
Madam Yun sighed and asked Zhou Mama to bring Yun Wan's token: "Silly child, here's the token back to you. Keep it safe. If you ever need more money, just go and withdraw it!"
Seeing Yun Wan accept the token while crying, Madam Yun continued, "I was out of my mind before. I knew that girl wasn't close to you, so how could you ask her for money? I never expected it would lead to this disaster!"
If you distribute interest money and it goes unnoticed, that's fine, but once it's discovered, it's hard to get your stewardship back.
However, Yunxi is also a member of the Yun family. So what difference does it make whether the power to manage the household is in Yunwan's hands or in Yunxi's hands?
Thinking of this, Madam Yun felt much better.
"When you get home today, you should apologize to your mother-in-law. Accept whatever punishment you are given. The most important thing is to get this matter over with!"
Yun Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mother, I understand."
"Pearl, take the girl downstairs to wash her face. We don't want anyone to notice anything amiss later."
Pearl responded and helped Yunwan back down.
Just a few steps from Madam Yun's courtyard, I saw a figure standing to the side.
Upon seeing her appear, the man quickly stepped forward to greet her and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Wanwan, you've suffered so much!"
He hadn't seen Yun Wan for a long time. He thought she was too busy with family matters to come, but he never expected that she was under house arrest!
You're under house arrest!
Yun Wan was never confined to her quarters before she was married, how dare the Shen family?!
Yun Wan's heart was already fragile at this moment. Although she had just cried in front of Madam Yun, all Madam Yun had said was about interests. Now, Yun Ruiyang's few words made Yun Wan feel an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
The grievances she had suppressed for so long burst forth, and she buried her face in Yun Ruiyang's arms and cried.
Pearl felt uneasy, but since they were in the backyard, the cousins couldn't be so close, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss, let's go back to our own courtyard and talk about this."
Yun Ruiyang nodded quickly, "Yes, Wanwan, let's go back."
The group then headed towards Yun Wan's courtyard.
Yun Ruiyang was very familiar with everything in this courtyard.
He hasn't seen Yun Wan lately, so he often comes here to sit when he has nothing to do.
This is the courtyard where Yun Wan grew up, and the air seems to still retain her scent, which makes people feel at ease.
Only here can he get a good night's sleep.
Yun Wan told Pearl to stay in the courtyard, while she went into the main hall with Yun Ruiyang and poured out her heart to him about the many difficulties she had faced since getting married.
Yun Ruiyang felt extremely distressed upon hearing this: "How dare Yun Xi treat you like this! So what if she's been living away from home for over ten years? She's already back in the Yun family now, how can she be bullied like this!"
Yun Wan lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "I don't know what I did to offend her, or why she treated me like this!"
"In my opinion, Yun Xi shouldn't have come back at all!" Yun Ruiyang said through gritted teeth. "If she hadn't come back, none of this would have happened!"
Yun Wan raised her tear-filled eyes: "Cousin, do you really think so?"
"Of course! I've always been on your side!"
"Have you forgotten how I always took the beatings for you when you were naughty as a child? Don't you remember me?"
Yun Wan stared at him for a long time before finally unable to resist, and got up to throw herself into his arms.
Yun Ruiyang gently coaxed her, showing a patience he had never shown even to his own wife.
Yun Wan sat in Yun Ruiyang's arms, crying, and then she noticed something was wrong.
She looked down blankly, found the source of the anomaly, and then looked up blankly at Yun Ruiyang.
