The two brothers were stunned when they heard this; they hadn't expected Yun Qingying to say such a thing.

After a long while, Sun Yueqian said, "Aunt, my mother wasn't afraid of death. She was worried about my brother and me and didn't want us to die with our great-grandfather at such a young age."

“Regardless of what your mother was thinking back then, in short, I, your father, your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother, your eldest uncle, your second uncle…” Yun Qingying listed everyone in the family one by one, including the little ones. “We all owe Xiao Liu a debt, and we won’t let Xiao Liu and her two children be unhappy.”

With each person Yun Qingying mentioned, the brothers' hearts sank a little deeper. According to their aunt, even if their father wanted to take them back, no one else would agree.

Yun Qingying looked at Sun Yueqian and Sun Weiqian and said, "It was only natural for your mother to take you back to your maternal grandfather's house back then, and your aunt doesn't blame your mother. But you have to bear the consequences of your choices; you can't have everything. You're both grown up now and should be more sensible. If your mother is having trouble thinking about it, you should try to persuade her. Your aunt has other things to do, so I won't keep you any longer. If you need anything, come and find your aunt."

When Sun Wanjing saw her two sons return, she asked, "What did your aunt say? Did your aunt go to see that woman? That woman must be preventing your father from talking to you much and from picking us up."

Sun Yueqian couldn't bear to shatter his mother's illusions, but things still had to be resolved. "My aunt said that her youngest son was protected by Yun Xiaoliu, that they all owed Yun Xiaoliu something, and that none of them would let Yun Xiaoliu and her two children be unhappy, including my father. Mother, we can't go back to that home."

Sun Wanjing didn't believe it. "Your father promised me, and I'm going to go find him."

After saying that, Sun Wanjing was about to go find Yun Yuqi.

Sun Yueqian quickly grabbed his mother. "Mother, it's no use. Everyone has changed. My father has changed, my aunt has changed, my cousin Xingyao has changed, my other cousin has changed, everyone has changed, they've all changed. Mother, let me take you to live somewhere else." Here, his mother would always be stuck in the past.

“I’m not going. I’m going to find your father. He promised me.”

"Mother, my father..."

"I won't listen! I'm going to find your father. Your father promised me."

"..." It seems his mother won't give up until she sees his father. "Alright, I'll take you to see my father."

Three days later, Sun Yueqian and his mother found Yun Yuqi.

Sun Wanjing was stunned when she saw Yun Yuqi. "You...how did you become like this?"

In her memory, Yun Yuqi was a gentle and refined gentleman, but the man in front of her was a fierce-looking, thick-skinned brute!

Yun Yuqi said calmly, "I have killed a total of ninety-seven enemy soldiers."

Sun Wanjing took two steps back in fright. "You...you...you killed...killed nine...ninety...seven...people?!"

"Yes, I haven't counted how many arms and legs were cut off, but it's probably around two or three hundred."

Sun Wanjing took two steps back. "Two...two or three hundred?!"

"Yes. Did you need something?"

"No...it's nothing. I...I just came to see you. You go ahead with your work, we won't bother you anymore."

"I'll take you."

"No need!" Sun Wanjing wanted to stay away from Yun Yuqi as soon as she thought about how Yun Yuqi had killed ninety-seven people and cut off the arms and legs of two or three hundred people.

After saying that, Sun Wanjing quickly pulled Sun Yueqian away.

Yun Yuqi closed her eyes briefly. Some things are best left in the past, and some feelings are best let go of.

Sun Yueqian never expected his father to make his mother give up in this way. "Mother, my father joined the army as soon as he arrived at the border. Joining the army means fighting and killing the enemy."

"I know."

However, knowing is one thing, but witnessing Yun Yuqi transform from a refined young man into a murderous weapon radiating malice, and hearing him say how many people he had killed and how many arms and legs he had chopped off, is quite another.

Sun Wanjing couldn't imagine what it would feel like to lie in bed with a man like that. She thought she would definitely have nightmares every night.

Sun Wanjing looked at Sun Yueqian and said, "You're right, your father has changed." He's changed so much that she doesn't even want to be in the same room with him anymore. "Since your father has changed, let's not dwell on the past."

"..." It seems his father understands his mother best. All his words were useless; his father only needed two sentences to make his mother give up. "Yes, we also need to look forward."

After sending his mother back, Sun Yueqian came to find Yun Yuqi again. "Father, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Yun Yuqi looked at Sun Yueqian and said, "I broke my promise to your mother. You can hate me."

Sun Yueqian didn't want to hate. "My eldest aunt said that you all owe Sixth Sister a debt."

“Yes.” Yun Yuqi looked into Sun Yueqian’s eyes and said, “We all owe your sixth sister. Besides, when things got chaotic in the capital, Father was worried about you, so he asked your sixth sister to protect you. Your sixth sister doesn’t have much of a relationship with you, and she has to pay the people she sent to protect you. So, Father promised your sixth sister that all the family business Father earns in the future will belong to your sixth sister and her brothers and sisters.” (Chapters 88 and 89)

"You entrusted my sixth sister to protect us?"

"Yes. Your father was not capable of protecting you back then, so he could only rely on your sixth sister. You know, your father has never cared for your sixth sister before, and he has no face to let your sixth sister help him protect you for nothing. If you want to blame someone, blame your father. It is your father who has let you down and your sixth sister."
