The Eldest Daughter Regains Her Beauty, Stunning Everyone

Yun Qingran transmigrated and became an ugly villainess. The scene she woke up to was peeping at the Northern Cold King Mu Yang taking a bath. Yun Qingran felt overwhelmed and wished she could die!...

Chapter 72 Hongyan is Free

"Who knows what he means? Anyway, he's no good." Yun Qingbi had no good feelings towards Jiang Yunqi; to be precise, she disliked him.

Two years ago, Yun Qingran made a plate of pastries and eagerly delivered them to the Dali Temple to confess her feelings to Jiang Yunqi, but Jiang Yunqi overturned the plate of pastries. Yun Qingran cried for a month, and it was from that time that her temper became even more erratic.

"Brother, let's ignore him for now and take Hongyan away first," Yun Qingran said softly.

Yun Qingbi nodded, and then she and Yun Qingran prepared to take Hongyan away.

“Miss Yun, Miss Hongyan is a deceased person, you cannot take her away.” Jiang Yunqi stopped Yun Qingran and the other two.

"Lord Jiang, before Miss Hongyan died, she asked me to take her body with me. Out of respect for the dead, I cannot break my promise." Yun Qingran stood firm.

Jiang Yunqi looked into her eyes, which were as clear as a spring, yet as firm as the sharpest blade.

"I will have the coroner examine her to determine the cause of death before you take her away," Jiang Yunqi conceded.

"Sir, this is against the rules," Jiang Yunqi's deputy quickly stopped him.

The deceased is the most important piece of evidence in a case; if the deceased is not present, what happens to the case?

"No need to say anything more. Have the coroner confirm the death, examine the cause of death, and then let Miss Yun take her away." Jiang Yunqi spoke to his deputy, but his eyes were fixed on Yun Qingran.

Yun Qingran felt a little uncomfortable. Could this guy have taken a liking to her?

"Coroner, examine the body." Jiang Yunqi raised his hand, signaling the coroner behind him to step forward and examine the body.

Yun Qingbi glanced nervously at Yun Qingran, who gave him a barely perceptible nod to reassure him.

"Let's test it." Yun Qingbi put Hongyan on the ground and moved her aside.

"Yes." The coroner stepped forward carrying his autopsy toolbox, knelt on one knee, and began the autopsy.

The coroner first took Hongyan's pulse and noted "no pulse" on the autopsy record; then he opened her tightly closed eyelids and noted "pupils dilated"; next, he listened to her heartbeat and noted "heart stopped"; finally, he noted "confirmed death".

After the death was confirmed, the cause of death was determined. The coroner parted Hongyan's hair, and Yun Qingran saw this and unconsciously clenched her fist.

After pressing down on the head, the coroner noted: Death was caused by a severe head injury.

"Lord Jiang, can we take Miss Hongyan with us now?" Yun Qingran asked Jiang Yunqi.

"That's fine," Jiang Yun said.

"Let's go." Yun Qingran helped Hongyan onto Yun Qingbi's back, and the two left the entrance of the Pan residence.

Jiang Yunqi watched the two figures disappear into the distance, lowered his eyes, then mounted his horse and headed for the palace.

"Hoo~" Hongyan, her face covered in blood, twitched her eyelashes, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes.

Yun Qingran immediately took her pulse, and thankfully, both the adult and the child were safe and sound.

"Where am I?" Hongyan sat up, looking around at her surroundings, and asked in confusion.

"You're outside the city," Yun Qingran said with a smile. "Miss Hongyan, we've succeeded."

This was all a play, fake from beginning to end. Hongyan didn't actually hit the wall; the injury on her head was something Yun Qingran had done from the start, and her state of death was achieved by taking the fake death medicine Yun Qingran gave her.

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Hongyan hugged Yun Qingran tightly, and she truly escaped the brothel.

"You help me deal with Pan Yong, and I'll help you escape the brothel. We're even now. Miss Hongyan, no, it should be Miss Li Xiaoying, I wish you happiness and joy for the rest of your life." Yun Qingran took a small bundle out of the haystack on the ground and handed it to Hongyan.

Li Xiaoying was an orphan who died recently, and her household registration hadn't been cancelled yet. Yun Qingbi happened to be in charge of this matter, so the household registration was given to Hongyan, who would henceforth be Li Xiaoying, a respectable woman.

The bundle contained the money Hongyan had saved over the years. With this money, she could live a wealthy life with her child.

"Miss Yun, Heir of the Marquis of Zhen'an, I have no way to thank you for your great kindness. I will kowtow to you three times." Hongyan knelt down and kowtowed three times to the brother and sister.

"Get up quickly." Yun Qingran helped her up, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and then said, "Miss Xiaoying, although you have escaped from the brothel, you are all alone and helpless, and you are carrying a child whose father is unknown. The days ahead will definitely be difficult. Please take care."

"I will." Li Xiaoying nodded emphatically.

"Also, you're beautiful and have a lot of money, so be careful of men who fawn over you. Don't fall for their tricks, and be careful not to get targeted by human traffickers or other bad people," Yun Qingran added a few more words of advice to Li Xiaoying.

Girl help girl! Li Xiaoying is not a bad person. Yun Qingran hopes that all good girls in the world can have a smooth, happy, peaceful and joyful life.

Li Xiaoying's eyes were red. She had been an orphan since she was a child, and this was the first time someone had helped her like this and thought about her. She felt really warm and touched.

“Miss Yun, I will. Every day and night from now on, I will pray that you will live a peaceful and happy life.”

Yun Qingran touched her face and stuffed the bundle into her hands. "Hurry up and go. There's a carriage prepared for you outside. The driver is very reliable and will take you to a safe place."

"Yes, Miss Yun, Young Master, please take care." Li Xiaoying curtsied to the two of them, picked up her bundle, turned around, and went out to get into the carriage.

The carriage sped away, its hooves kicking up dust in the sunlight before disappearing below the horizon in no time.

"Big brother, let's go back." Yun Qingran turned and headed back to the city.

"Mm." Yun Qingbi nodded.

"Big brother, what did Jiang Yunqi mean today? Why did he help us?" Lu Yunqingran couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be because of you?" Yun Qingbi looked at Yun Qingran's face and replied, "You used to pester him so much that you probably developed feelings for him, so he's deliberately going easy on you?"

That shameless guy, he used to ignore me, but now he's fawning over me. I can't accept a brother-in-law like that.

"Persistently pestering me?" Yun Qingran was a little puzzled. All she could think about was the original owner delivering pastries to the Dali Temple; nothing else came to mind.

Perhaps due to a bug in the transmigration process, she did not fully inherit the original owner's memories; many memories remained blank.

"Anyway, Jiang Yunqi is not a good person. Stay away from him in the future and don't get involved with him." Yun Qingbi was afraid that her younger sister would stick to him again.

"Don't worry, I have absolutely no interest in him right now." Yun Qingran waved her hand.

Jiang Yunqi is very handsome, with that kind of dashing high school boy vibe, but that type isn't my type. Besides, I still hold a grudge against him for how he treated the original owner.

"That's good." Yun Qingbi nodded in satisfaction.

His younger sister is so easy to take care of now! He finally understands the joy of having a sister.
