Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Sister, please don't say things like that, it really scares me..."

Just as she was speaking, Yun Chuwei flashed, and the soft sword in her hand transformed into a rainbow-like sword aura.

Then, the white silk flower on Yun Lianhua's head, along with her hair, was cut off.

"ah--"

Yun Lianhua's words were abruptly cut off, followed by a shrill scream.

She took two steps back and fell to the ground with a thud.

When she looked up again, her face was pale. She looked at Yun Chuwei, who had instantly returned to her original position, her face filled with fear.

Yun Chuwei gave a mocking smile: "You were so calm just now, I thought you were just saying you were scared. Turns out you were really that scared? Don't be so frightened you wet yourself!"

Yun Lianhua unconsciously grasped the silk flower that had fallen to the ground, her whole body trembling slightly.

She was indeed pretending to be scared just now, but now, fear permeates her entire being.

Yun Xian frowned, looking at Yun Chuwei with an extremely grim expression.

He hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to be so skilled in lightness skills and swordsmanship; he hadn't even seen how she made her moves.

"Yun Chuwei, how dare you!" Yun Xian said angrily.

Yun Chuwei gave a mocking smile: "Killing a Yun family adopted daughter who stole my things is nothing, it's not like I committed patricide. Even if it goes to His Majesty's ears, I'll only be punished with a beating. What's there to be afraid of? The question now is, do you dare?"

The implication was that if he dared to steal, she would dare to kill Yun Lianhua.

Yun Lianhua looked at Yun Chuwei in horror and said, "Father, I don't want it anymore! I don't want those things anymore! Let's go!"

Yun Xian frowned, walked over, and reached out to help Yun Lianhua up.

He glared at Yun Chuwei fiercely before leaving Yun Chuwei's courtyard with Yun Lianhua.

Yun Zheng, who was in shock, came to his senses.

He looked at Yun Chuwei with some admiration and asked, "Weiwei, how are you so amazing?"

He never expected that Yun Chuwei could cut off the silk flower from Yun Lianhua's head in the blink of an eye.

The sight of Yun Lianhua, who was smug one second and then fell to the ground in fright the next, was truly comical.

Yun Chuwei remained calm: "It's alright, not particularly impressive."

Just as Yun Zheng was about to say how it wasn't impressive, he saw Yun Chuwei spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yun Zheng was shocked: "Weiwei, are you alright? What happened? Why did you vomit blood?"

Yun Chuwei waved her hand slightly, signaling him to calm down: "You've used up a lot of energy, that's why you vomited blood. You'll be fine after resting for a while!"

She was somewhat relieved that Guiyan wasn't there, otherwise she would have started yelling again!

Yun Zheng said in a hoarse voice, "Those things aren't worth much. If they want them, just give them to them! Why fight? It'll only hurt you for nothing."

Although his sister was cool and fierce when she got into a fight, he didn't want her to cough up blood.

Yun Chuwei said gently, "If they take my things away without my permission, it will not be good for me to stabilize my Dao heart! Only when things are like this can I feel at ease!"

Yun Chuwei spoke slowly, seemingly a little tired.

Yun Zheng frowned slightly, feeling a mix of emotions.

He was about to say something when he suddenly saw Yun Chuwei fall to the ground.

He was shocked and immediately reached out to catch Yun Chuwei.

"Sister! Sister! Are you alright?" Yun Zheng didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only ask in a low voice.

Receiving no response, he could only carry Yun Chuwei back to her room.

-

When Yun Chuwei woke up, it was already the next day.

The returning geese were overjoyed to see that Yun Chuwei had woken up.

"Young Miss, you're finally awake! You've scared me to death so many times in just a few days!"

As Guiyan spoke, she took a few steps forward, bent down, and hugged Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Sorry! I startled you again!"

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Yun Zheng rushed in.

He saw that Yun Chuwei had woken up and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to say something when Guiyan rolled her eyes at him.

Guiyan had a lot of complaints about Yunzheng.

She turned to Yun Chuwei and said, "Miss, you have no idea how worried I was about you. Unlike some people who actually stopped me from going to fetch a doctor! If anything happens to you, Miss, I will definitely not let them get away with it!"

Yun Zheng knew that Guiyan was talking about him.

He couldn't help but argue, "I've already checked your young lady's pulse. She doesn't need any medicine; she just needs to rest and she'll recover. See, she's awake now, isn't she? I wasn't wrong, was I?"

"You just got lucky and you were right, otherwise, I would have... I would have fought you to the death!" Guiyan said.

Yun Zheng: ...

Yun Chuwei listened to their conversation, smiled, and said to Guiyan, "Let's not talk about that now. How's the letter I asked you to send to Mother?"

Guiyan's expression turned serious: "It's already been sent, and the person who came back said it's been delivered!"

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, quite satisfied: "As expected of my Guiyan family, they are truly reliable!"

Guiyan was rarely praised like this, and she was a little shy. She quickly said, "This servant will go and see if the medicine for the young lady is ready!"

After saying that, she left quickly.

Yun Chuwei asked Yun Zheng, "How's Nineteen? Is he alright?"

Yun Zheng said, "Nineteen escaped unscathed, but the letter was taken by Father's men."

Yun Chuwei nodded: "It's alright, I didn't ask him to deliver the letter anyway."

Yun Zheng did not continue the topic, but instead frowned slightly.

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

"In delivering the letter to your mother, everything was indeed within your expectations. But I'm afraid other things were not part of your plan!"

Clearly, Yun Zheng must have received some information.

She asked, "Did Yun Xian do something?"

Is my sister no longer willing to call me "father"?

Yun Zheng actually understands Yun Chuwei's choice.

After all, judging from the past two days, Yun Xian is not fit to be a father.

Yun Zheng sighed slightly, then said, "He spread a lot of rumors about you."

At this point, Yun Zheng fell silent.

He looked at Yun Chuwei, somewhat hesitant to tell her about the rumors.

He feared that Yun Chuwei would vomit blood and faint again.

Yun Chuwei knew what Yun Zheng was thinking. She smiled slightly and said slowly, "Didn't you realize that my body is fine, I just need to rest? Then you should know that I won't die anytime soon."

This was the first person who, after taking her pulse, neither doubted himself nor forced her to take the medicine.

She felt that Yun Zheng was quite talented in medicine.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng could only continue, "Now everyone outside says that you were sent away back then because you were a jinx, and if you weren't sent away, it would bring disaster to the family. They also say that by sending you away and adopting Yun Lianhua, a jinx, the Yun family was able to escape the calamity."

Yun Chu nodded slightly to show that she was listening, and finally asked, "Anything else?"

She felt that Yun Xian was laying the groundwork for something.
