Mo Beichen looked back at Yun Qingluo's delicate, fair bones, his eyes slightly darkening.

Mo Beichen stared into Yun Qingluo's eyes and asked earnestly, "Luoluo, are you truly willing to stay by my side?"

Yun Qingluo leaned forward slightly to hug Mo Beichen tightly, kissed his chin, and nodded earnestly, saying, "Yun Qingluo will love Mo Beichen for all eternity, and I will be happy to do so."

Mo Beichen's usually cold expression softened instantly, and a hint of excitement rose in his eyes. He could no longer restrain himself and leaned down to kiss Yun Qingluo's delicate lips.

Yun Qingluo sensed the domineering yet gentle nature of his actions and knew that she had passed this test.

When Yun Qingluo woke up on the second day of the Lunar New Year, her whole body ached and she was so tired that she couldn't even move a finger.

That scoundrel doesn't even know how to cherish her. He'll exhaust her and see how he spends the rest of his life.

According to the tradition of this dynasty, one should return to one's maternal home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Yun Qingluo called out, "Yun Tao, come in quickly and help me wash up."

At the entrance of the Regent's Palace.

"Ah Chen, what are you doing here?"

Yun Qingluo walked out the door and saw Mo Beichen by the carriage. She ran over to him with a look of surprise and delight.

Mo Beichen reached out and pulled her into his arms, his face full of doting affection, "I'll accompany you back to your parents' home."

Yun Qingluo was overjoyed. She thought that this man was too busy to care about such a small matter.

Seeing several carriages behind her, Yun Qingluo was delighted, not expecting him to be so well-prepared.

"Ah Chen, how can you be so kind?" Yun Qingluo touched Mo Beichen's face and exclaimed in admiration.

“Luo Luo is better.” Mo Beichen took Yun Qingluo’s restless little hand and helped her into the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, the family was already waiting there.

Yun Qingluo was surprised, "Hey, I didn't tell my family. Why are they waiting at the door so early?"

Mo Beichen glanced outside. "I had Mo Feng come over early this morning to inform you."

Yun Qing stepped down from the carriage and was delighted to see her family, all with rosy complexions and good health.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, it's so cold outside, why aren't you waiting at home?"

Yun Ziheng's face showed helplessness, "Father and Mother were so happy to know you came early this morning that they couldn't sit still at home and insisted on coming out to wait for you."

Yun Qingluo pulled people inside, and only then did everyone notice the previously overlooked Mo Beichen.

She hurriedly tried to bow, but Mo Beichen stopped her, saying, "Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities. Just consider it as your daughter and son-in-law visiting home."

Father Yun nodded happily, “Alright, then I’ll be impolite this once. I didn’t have enough to drink during my last homecoming, so Your Highness must drink to your heart’s content today.”

Mo Beichen said in a deep voice, "I will follow my father-in-law's arrangements."

"Alright, let's go in quickly, it's too cold outside." After saying that, Father Yun led the whole family into the mansion.

Yun Qingluo glanced at the crowd in front of her and asked in confusion, "Mother, why don't I see my sister?"

Yunmu sighed, "I caught a cold a few days ago and was afraid of passing it on to you, so I stayed in my room and didn't come out."

The clouds seem to be tilting and lowering their heads, carrying a chill in the wind? Perhaps they're plotting something wicked again?

Yun Xing disappeared after entering the mansion, and Yun Qingluo gave An Jiu a wink.

Outside, snow was falling heavily, but inside, the charcoal fire was burning brightly.

The family sat in the living room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. Yun Qingluo felt very content.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out, "Something terrible has happened! Someone has fallen from the building!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Yun Ziyu was shocked. "No one has ever died in this manor before. How could someone fall from a building out of nowhere?"

Yunmu's face turned cold. She looked at the servant and said, "Don't panic. Explain clearly: who fell from where?"

The servant was still terrified. "Madam, I was sweeping downstairs in the pavilion today when I suddenly heard a heavy thud. When I went over, I saw that Yunxing, the princess's maid, had fallen from the building."

Yun Qingluo's eyes were slightly cool as she felt the strength in Mo Beichen's grip on her hand. She looked up at him.

Mo Beichen comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A warm feeling washed over Yun Qingluo. Even her parents hadn't noticed, yet he was so thoughtful.

"Mo Feng, take some men and secure the scene," Mo Beichen instructed in a low voice.

Yun's father turned around and clasped his hands in thanks to Mo Beichen, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The prince's words just now had another meaning: don't alarm the government, just resolve it behind closed doors.

The group arrived at the pavilion, and Yun Qingluo looked up.

This pavilion in the General's Mansion is a library, built by the first generation of the Yun family ancestors when the mansion was established. It has nine floors.

Judging from the blood all over Yunxing's body, she probably fell from the highest point and had no chance of survival.

Yun Qingluo's face turned pale. Had Yun Yiyi already been so malicious at such a young age?

Yunxing didn't die in her previous life... It seems her rebirth has caused a butterfly effect.

"Butler, who has been here?" Father Yun asked the butler who had just arrived, his face full of authority.

The steward whispered, "Your Highness, the person who came before was named Lu Sheng. He has already been arrested. According to the guards of the library, only Yun Xing and he came to the library."

Yun's father looked surprised. "Did he push Yunxing?"

The butler shook his head. "He confessed that Yunxing committed suicide by jumping off the building because..." He glanced at Yun Qingluo as he said this.

Yun Qingluo's heart sank; she knew very well that this charade was specifically aimed at her.

Yun's father frowned. "Why are you stammering? Speak up if you know anything."

The butler quickly bowed his head and replied, "Master, Lu Sheng said that Yunxing couldn't bear the Princess's abuse, so she took advantage of the Princess's return to the mansion today to jump off the building and escape."

Yunmu flung her sleeves and angrily retorted, "Nonsense! When Luoluo was in the manor, she treated her and Yuntao like sisters. How could she mistreat her?"

Yun Ziyu, fearing that her sister might be implicated in someone's death, also said coldly, "Yes, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

On the path not far away, Yun Yiyi suddenly ran closer, panting heavily as she reached him.

Judging from his complexion, he really does look sick.

Yun's father frowned. "Since you've caught a cold, why aren't you staying in your room? What are you doing out here?"

Yun Yiyi gave a slight curtsy and said, "Father, I heard that my eldest sister's personal maid fell from a building, and I was so worried that I rushed over to see her."

Sister, what exactly happened? Yunxing was so good to you, how could she…

That's a rather intriguing statement...

Yun Ziheng frowned. "Luo Luo is the kindest to the servants, she would never mistreat Yun Xing."

Yun Yiyi was unwilling to accept this. She painstakingly planned this whole thing, with the aim of making Yun Qingluo bear the infamy of abusing servants and causing one of them to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

She wanted the world to know that Yun Qingluo was a beautiful but venomous woman with no substance.

Hmph, let's see if the Regent will still want her then.

Yun Yiyi turned to Mo Beichen and said softly, "Your Highness, please forgive me, my sister is not that kind of person."

Although my sister sometimes acts capriciously and scolds the servants in the manor, she has never been so cruel as to mistreat them. Moreover, Yunxing is my sister's personal maid. Unless my sister is unhappy in the Prince's manor..."
