Chapter 128 There's not much difference between an individual and a family.

Seeing her serious expression, Yun Si couldn't help but tease her: "Sister-in-law, you are a great contributor to our Yun family, how could I dare to do that?"

After he said that, the hall erupted in laughter.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, warm and bright, making the scene exceptionally cozy and touching.

However, beneath this joy of reunion after loss, there was a taut string in Yun Si's heart.

She cherished the warmth of the moment, and she also knew very clearly that her parents coming back at this time was not a wise choice.

The current situation might just make them, like themselves, a burden to Qin Ye.

At the same time, it will also put them in danger.

But Yun Si also thought that if she stopped them from coming back, they would definitely ask why.

My parents aren't stupid; there's no way I could keep it from them without a reasonable explanation.

If she tells the truth, they will come back without hesitation and face the danger with her.

Rather than that, it would be better to let them come back happily.

Nothing is more important than a family being together.

"What is Your Highness busy with?"

Yunyi kept glancing at the door until he confirmed that Qin Ye really hadn't come with Yun Si, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he didn't show it, so as not to embarrass his daughter.

"Tonight, our family will reunite and enjoy a proper family dinner. Once His Highness is finished with his work, we will invite him over. We were able to return safely thanks to him. Tonight, I must have a good drink with him."

"Oh... okay."

Yun Si hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.

Upon meeting her father, she couldn't bear to spoil his mood.

But she knew that Qin Ye was probably...

This initial disappointment and worry were quickly washed away by the joy of reunion.

Yun Si spent the whole day in the Marquis's mansion, clinging to her mother's side, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

Su Tangyue teased her, saying that she had been married for almost two years and was still acting like a child.

It's clear to everyone that she, the mistress of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, has lost all her authority.

Despite saying that, Su Tangyue still held her daughter's hand, looking her up and down, her joy mixed with worry in her eyes.

"Si'er, you look much better than before, but after being married for so long, is there still no sign of pregnancy?"

Su Tangyue also knew that Yun Si's body was extremely difficult to conceive, so it was clear that her body was much healthier than before, and she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

Yun Si blushed slightly, but still said truthfully, "Mother, don't worry, I've only just recovered from my illness, and I should be able to have it later..."

"real?"

"Of course, why would I lie to my mother about something like that?"

"That's good!"

Su Tangyue's eyes welled up with tears of excitement: "That's wonderful!"

The fact that Yun Si was in poor health and might never be able to become a mother was a constant worry for Su Tangyue.

She truly hadn't expected that, despite the Marquis's family suffering a great calamity, her daughter's health would actually benefit from the misfortune.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened in the past six months, as a mother, how could she not see that her daughter had changed a lot?

The mother and mother talked intimately all afternoon, but they only talked about happy and interesting things. Neither of them mentioned anything bad or worrying.

Yun Si felt that at this moment, a child with a mother was truly happy.

However, happy times always pass quickly, and before we knew it, it was evening.

The kitchen was busy all afternoon, preparing a large table full of delicious food and drinks.

After everyone sat down at the table, they waited for a while, but Qin Ye still didn't appear.

Seeing this, Su Tangyue secretly exchanged a glance with Yunyi.

She secretly grasped Yun Si's hand, comforting her while saying with a smile, "Everyone, please eat first. His Highness must be too busy with state affairs. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Yun Si felt a pang in her heart, but a smile bloomed on her face: "Father, Mother, His Highness has indeed been tied up with urgent official duties recently and cannot get away. Please do not worry."

"Oh, what's the big deal?"

The eldest brother, Yun Shaoyou, chimed in, "Father and Mother aren't unreasonable, little sister. Don't worry, we won't overthink it. Eat quickly, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

As he spoke, he stood up, picked up a piece of tender fish, and placed it in Yun Si's bowl.

Laughter and cheerful conversation soon filled the room again.

When Yun Si asked her second brother, Yun Shaoting, why he hadn't returned with everyone, she learned that he had gone to join the army with their second uncle, Su Tangli.

I remember when we were little, my second brother was naughty and often got into fights and trouble, but he was very good to her.

He would try every means to bring back any good things he had and give them to her, and he would tell her interesting stories. He couldn't stand anyone saying a bad word about her.

Later, she learned that every time her second brother got into a fight, it was because the other person said she was sickly, wouldn't live long, and wasn't good enough for Shen Qian, which is why he fought with them.

In short, in her heart, both her brothers were very, very good people.

My sister-in-law is also a kind and righteous woman. When the Marquis's mansion suffered misfortune, she never abandoned her elder brother and was very filial to her parents.

She had said before that her brother was incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful person as his sister-in-law in this life.

Now, they have finally reaped the rewards of their hard work.

The banquet lasted until very late.

Yun Si personally escorted her slightly tipsy father back to the courtyard with her brother and sister-in-law to rest. Her mother wanted to keep her for the night, but felt it was against the rules.

As a royal daughter-in-law, she is under the watchful eyes of many. If she makes even the slightest mistake, someone could seize upon it and use it to suppress His Highness.

Despite her reluctance, Su Tangyue saw Yun Si off in the carriage back to the Xiao Prince's residence.

"Take care on the road, and come back often when you have time."

"I know, Mother, you should go back now."

"well."

Su Tangyue kept turning back to look at the carriage as she walked away. When she heard the carriage leave, she ran out again and watched it disappear into the distance.

She turned back only after she could no longer see him.

The moment Yun Si stepped out of the Marquis's residence, her keen senses immediately detected something amiss.

Several extremely concealed presences appeared in the shadows surrounding the Marquis's residence.

Their breathing was deep and even, almost blending into the night.

To avoid worrying or frightening her mother, she showed no unusual behavior and calmly boarded the carriage.

She spoke up only when the carriage was out of sight of the Marquis's residence, asking Fang Yi to stop first.

Lanxin and Lu Yu were puzzled, but only Awu knew why Yun Si's aura had suddenly turned cold.

Influenced by Yun Si's emotions, Xiao Yi also let out a fierce "woo-woo" sound.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Yun Si's eyes.

Indeed, I was absolutely right.

The entire Marquis's residence became a bargaining chip to restrain Qin Ye.

Perhaps, to Qin Ye, there is no difference between her being alone and her family.

She alone already held his life in her hands; a few more people wouldn't matter.

Yun Si felt aggrieved.

If it were anyone else, she would have been unable to resist killing them immediately!

She took a deep breath and it took her a long time to calm herself down.

"Let's go back to the manor."

As the carriage drove away, no one noticed that Qin Ye stood alone in the shadow of the rooftop high above.

The night wind ruffled his robes. He gazed at the warm lights of the Marquis's mansion in the distance, listening to the faint echoes of laughter that had long since faded, a resolute cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Let's wait a little longer.

It will be soon.

...

Time flies, and three more days have passed.

A magnificent and exquisite carriage stopped in front of the Xiao Prince's Mansion.

Then, a woman dressed in a moon-white gauze dress got out of the car.
