However, before she could get close to Xie Xuan, she saw him disappear in a flash.

She stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed.

When she met Xie Xuan's eyes just now, she couldn't help but think of the man who held her body and committed suicide.

However, that man couldn't possibly be Xie Xuan.

In her previous life, Xie Xuan had already died before her, so it was impossible for him to appear after her death.

Yun Chuwei stood there for a long time before turning around and entering the Marquis's residence.

Upon learning that her grandmother was praying at the temple, she went to her mother He Ning's courtyard.

Yun Chuwei thought that the first person she would see in Madam Yun's courtyard would be Madam Yun.

Unexpectedly, the first person she saw was Yun Lianhua.

-

Yun Lianhua came here in a hurry after hearing that Yun Chuwei had returned.

She approached gracefully, with a gentle and elegant demeanor.

"Sister, you're back?"

When Yun Lianhua entered the flower hall, she saw Yun Chuwei sitting at the lower end of the main seat.

As she asked, she stepped forward, trying to take Yun Chuwei's hand.

Yun Chuwei showed no mercy and directly avoided Yun Lianhua's touch.

"Stop pulling and tugging, we're not that close," Yun Chuwei said calmly.

Not only are they not familiar with each other, but they also harbor resentment towards each other.

Yun Lianhua was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes reddened slightly.

"Does my sister dislike me because of the Crown Prince's annulment of the engagement? But I never thought of marrying the Crown Prince, nor did I ever think of stealing my sister's marriage. I had no idea that His Highness the Crown Prince had annuled the engagement. If I had known, I would have told him that I didn't want anything and that he didn't have to do this."

Looking at Yun Lianhua's appearance, Yun Chuwei's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Yun Lianhua, I don't dislike you because of the Crown Prince's annulment of the engagement..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua revealed a smug smile.

However, Yun Chuwei's next words froze her smile on her face.

"I don't like you because I despise your pretentious attitude, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Yun Lianhua was taken aback by Yun Chuwei's bluntness. She seemed to freeze, her mind blank, unable to utter a single word, which made her appear particularly comical.

"Sister..." It took her a long time to find her voice, "Sister, is there some misunderstanding about me? I'll serve you tea to apologize!"

As she spoke, she poured a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Yun Chuwei.

She bowed slightly, appearing quite respectful.

Yun Chuwei merely glanced at her, without taking the tea. Instead, she slowly picked up the tea that the maid had placed beside her and began to drink it.

At this moment, Yun Lianhua stumbled and fell to the ground, spilling the tea in her hand onto her own.

Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. What was she doing, faking a fall on flat ground?

As she was thinking, she heard an unpleasant male voice.

"Yun Chuwei, what are you doing?"

Then she saw a young man rush over and help Yun Lianhua up.

This person was none other than her so-called third brother, Yun Qianming.

"Brother, don't blame sister. She didn't push me; I just lost my balance."

Yun Lianhua covered her hands, which were red from being scalded by the tea, and spoke in a voice trembling with tears.

"Lian'er, don't try to cover for her! The floor in this room is flat. If she hadn't pushed you, how could you have fallen?"

Yun Qianming picked up Yun Lianhua with a pained expression, turned and gave Yun Chuwei a cold look, then placed Yun Lianhua on the chair opposite Yun Chuwei.

He then summoned the maids and ordered them to prepare cool water and burn ointment.

Yun Chuwei looked at the two people opposite her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her jade fingers tightened on the white jade Qiankun Ring on her other wrist.

She came to Madam Yun's courtyard to see Madam Yun.

Madam Ke Yun was not seen, but the two people who influenced her Dao heart were gathered together.

Are these two so eager to die?

As Yun Chuwei was thinking, she heard footsteps.

She turned her head and saw a graceful and elegant woman leading a group of people walking in.

This is her mother, He Ning.

He Ning didn't look at her, but walked towards Yun Lianhua.

Seeing Yun Lianhua's hands, which were scalded red, she seemed to feel a little sorry for her.

She waved for someone to help Yun Lianhua treat her burns.

Seeing someone apply a cold compress and medicine to Yun Lianhua, He Ning breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "What exactly happened? Why did you burn your hand?"

Yun Qianming snorted coldly and said, "Because of the Crown Prince's annulment of the engagement, Lian'er poured tea for Yun Chuwei to apologize, but Yun Chuwei pushed her to the ground. Mother, Yun Chuwei has just returned and has already done something to harm her sibling. It would be unreasonable not to punish her, wouldn't it?"

Yun Lianhua looked anxious, and only spoke after Yun Qianming finished speaking: "Mother, that's not how it is. My sister didn't push me; I lost my balance and fell!"

Yun Qianming looked at Yun Lianhua with pity in his eyes: "Lian'er, you are too kind. You are still covering for her! Mother, look at this floor. If no one pushed, how could she have fallen? Lian'er is the Yun family daughter who has lived with us since she was a child. Mother, please don't favor Yun Chuwei."

He Ning did not reply, but turned around, took a few steps, and came to Yun Chuwei.

She looked at Yun Chuwei with a complicated expression.

Yun Lianhua is not her biological daughter; Yun Chuwei is.

Shortly after Yun Chuwei was born, she was taken away by her mother-in-law and given to a Taoist priest in the mountains to raise.

She and her blood-related daughter sometimes go a whole year without seeing each other, so they are not very familiar with each other.

Yun Chuwei met He Ning's gaze, calmly stood up, clasped her hands together, and bowed respectfully: "Mother."
