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 612
Sure enough, after Yunxi finished speaking, Yunwan's face lost all trace of her previous smugness, and instead turned slightly pale.
He was clearly angry.
Chen Qiang was also somewhat surprised.
She had thought Yunxi would be very sensitive about this matter, but she didn't expect her to be so open-minded.
She didn't know that Yunxi was someone who had already died once.
Yunxi has returned this time for revenge.
As for face?
If the perpetrator can openly talk about this, and she continues to avoid it, wouldn't she never be able to recover in this lifetime?
This time, under the scrutiny of everyone, the one who remained silent was Yun Wan.
Chen Qiang sneered: "Xi'er is right. Your Yun family should indeed give us an explanation for this matter, but not today."
As she spoke, she gave a wink to Madam Xu, who was standing to the side.
Today is, after all, a special day for them. If we're going to stand up for Yunxi, one more day won't make a difference.
Ms. Xu looked grateful.
She was feeling very uneasy.
After all, she couldn't afford to offend either of them, and even if they started fighting here, Madam Xu wouldn't dare to stop them.
At most, I'll just feel angry inside.
However, Chen Qiang's intervention indicated a desire to mediate and prioritize the interests of the Duke of Qin's family.
How could Madam Xu not be grateful?
She immediately stepped forward and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's not stand here anymore. The sun will be out soon, so please move to a shady spot."
Yunxi was the first to look away, nodded to Madam Xu, and followed Chen Qiang away.
With her leaving, Madam Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, once Yunxi left, Yunwan's arrogance vanished.
Madam Xu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss Yun, please make yourself at home."
Yun Wan, with a cold expression, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble, young mistress."
Seeing Yun Wan leave with a large entourage, Madam Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She summoned a maid and whispered, "Go check the seating arrangements, separate those two families, and then go to the front courtyard to tell the Duke and his son that the Prince's Mansion and the Yun family are at odds, and tell them to be careful."
The maidservant responded and left.
Madam Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then instructed someone to keep an eye on Yun Wan before turning to greet the other guests.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiang and Yun Xi walked away.
However, the news of her becoming a concubine had already spread, and along the way, many people looked at Yunxi with curiosity.
Although there was no malice in his gaze, it still made people uncomfortable.
Chen Qiang, who was dragged along, couldn't help but frown, while Yun Xi remained calm and unaffected.
"Xi'er, let's go somewhere else," Chen Qiang said.
"It wouldn't be worth it if we let those unimportant people ruin our enjoyment of the scenery."
Chen Qiang sighed: "You really have inherited your father's temperament."
Yunxi was slightly taken aback.
She had never met Huo Yue before, so how could she go along with his whims?
“Blood ties are hard to define,” Chen Qiang said with a smile. “It’s like you and your brother. Your brother felt a sense of closeness the moment he saw you. When he told me about it after we got back, you were the first person I thought of.”
