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 488
People's joys and sorrows are not shared.
Yun Changliang felt that he was about to be given an important position. Shu Ningshuang swayed and all the color drained from her face.
She grew up in Luoyang and knows best how terrifying power can be.
Her background is only slightly higher than Yun Wan's, yet she dares to publicly show Yun Wan a bad attitude. If Yun Wan is recognized by the Crown Prince in the future, how will she ever have a good life?!
Thinking about this, Shu Ningshuang couldn't sit still.
No, it won't work.
I can't stay in the Yun family any longer.
She needs to move out as soon as possible!

Just as Yun Changliang had predicted, the Crown Prince indeed became more affectionate towards him in the court. After the court session, the Crown Prince even took the initiative to invite him to the Eastern Palace and served him fine tea and snacks.
Yun Changliang recounted all the amusing stories about Yun Wan from childhood to the Crown Prince. Seeing the Crown Prince's smile deepen, Yun Changliang breathed a sigh of relief.
The two talked for more than an hour, until Yun Changliang's throat became dry and he had to stop to drink some tea.
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Yunqing, it's all thanks to you that Wanwan has grown up safely to this age."
"Not at all," Yun Changliang said modestly, "Wanwan is truly a very intelligent child. She learns everything I teach her from a young age, making her incredibly easy to manage! I was wondering what kind of person could have given birth to such a clever child, but I never expected it to be His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The Crown Prince laughed twice, then changed the subject: "However, as you know, my eldest brother is keeping a close eye on me, and my third brother is starting to show his face. The situation at court is unclear, and I'm afraid that rashly recognizing Wanwan would have a negative impact on her, so..."
"Your Majesty, I understand! Rest assured, Your Highness, I raised Wanwan. In fact, to be frank, I truly treat Wanwan like my own daughter, even more so than my own!"
Yun Changliang's words were not unfounded, and the Crown Prince nodded: "I am at ease entrusting Wanwan to Yun Qing. Have some tea."
Yun Changliang nodded repeatedly.
As he left the East Palace, his steps were so light that it seemed as if he were about to fly.
Upon returning to the Yun family, Yun Changliang went straight to Madam Yun's residence.
"You should quickly find a way to see Yunxi and give her a good talking-to. She must be extra respectful when she sees Wanwan in the future, and absolutely must not be rash!"
He had witnessed the Crown Prince's attitude towards Yun Wan today. Although his family had been kind to Yun Wan in raising her, it was best not to offend them if possible.
Madam Yun nodded: "I'll go right away."
As a result of this group of people, Madam Yun learned that Yun Xi was no longer in the Marquis's residence.
After repeated questioning, Madam Yun finally learned about what had happened at the Marquis's residence a few days ago, and her brows immediately furrowed.
This child really doesn't treat them as his own parents. Otherwise, how could he have run away without even saying goodbye after such a big incident?
Madam Yun felt a chill in her heart.
It's good that she ran away. That way, I don't have to worry about Yunxi ruining things. Besides, that girl grew up in the countryside, so she definitely won't starve.
Madam Yun stopped thinking about it and told Yun Changliang to rest assured. After that, she stopped thinking about Yun Xi.

Six months have passed, and Jizhou is now in a similar situation.
In the past six months, Yunxi has finally recovered her health. Doctor Feng no longer comes over every few days, and Jixiang and Le'an no longer force her to take medicine every day. For a while, she seems to have nothing to do.
Yunxi thinks of her child every day, and occasionally... she thinks of Shen Rang.
I wonder how he is doing now.
However, that ultimately has nothing to do with me.
She is now thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and the storms and turmoil in Luoyang do not affect her here. She can just live her life in peace.
