"You mean, your two nieces, a nephew, and his wife were caught up in the turbulence of time and space because of our rebirth."
"Only by seeing me live this life safely can they be brought back?"
Yan Ce asked. Although the matter was too mysterious, he still believed it in his heart when he thought about his rebirth.
Xiao Jingyun said: "Yes."
"So my husband and I know everything about you, but don't worry, we are here to find you, not to be your enemy."
"We won't interfere in your life. If possible, just treat us as friends. Come over and talk whenever you want."
"Or we can take care of your sister for you when you leave Anzhou City."
"But that's all. We can't do anything else."
Xiao Jingyun looked particularly sincere as he spoke.
Yan Ce asked, "So the matter is still related to my sister."
Xiao Jingyun said: "You are very smart, indeed."
Yan Ce said: "I understand, I will bring her here."
Xiao Jingyun asked in surprise: "You don't doubt us anymore?"
Yan Ce said: "You have one million taels of silver, you can go to the capital to buy an official position. If you want to deal with the Yan family, I am no match for you now."
"You've told me so much, and even though this 'Cloud Fairy Residence' is huge, you and your wife don't have any relatives around you. This is very strange in itself."
"When you said they were all caught in the turbulence, I understood."
"You're not lying."
Xiao Jingyun then smiled and said, "This is the you I know."
"Live your life well."
"Stop obsessing over revenge."
Yan Ce nodded and left.
Lin Yue walked out of the study and saw Yan Ce's back. She leaned on Xiao Jingyun's shoulder and said, "After so much effort, we finally recognized each other."
"We can interact openly in the future. It's fun to think about it."
Xiao Jingyun said, "Master Yan invited us to a banquet at his house tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Lin Yue said: "Go ahead, I've prepared a gift for Xiaoman."
In the evening, when all the students were about to go back, they found out that their exam topic was to write an essay called "Travels in the Clouds".
Only then did they realize that this day was not all about eating, drinking and having fun, but also included tasks.
However, what they saw and heard that day was enough for them to write.
On the second day, Xiao Jingyun and Lin Yue went to Yan's house to keep an appointment.
Lin Yue happily adopted Yan Yuan as her adopted daughter, and from then on she began to have close contact with Madam Yan, until they became as close as family.
During this period, Lin Yue also learned about Zhang Tai's news. He fell in love with a prostitute and kept her as a concubine in his private residence.
Everyone in Zhang's family knew about this. His parents made a fuss several times, and he simply stopped going home.
Later, she gave birth to her eldest son, and his marriage prospects fell into disrepair, and he completely lost contact with Xiaoman. After a few years, his lover ran away with the money, leaving him with two children.
When he returned to the Zhang family, the family property was basically controlled by the second branch, and they had a hard time making ends meet.
At this time, Xiaoman had become the adopted daughter of the Xiao family and the sister of the newly crowned top scholar, so it went without saying that there were many people proposing marriage to her.
But she searched everywhere and found no one that caught her eye.
Yan Ce, on the other hand, went home after attending the banquet awarded by the emperor without receiving any official position.
This action caused an uproar among the people, and even the emperor found it incredible.
He returned to Anzhou and began to seek immortals and ask for the Tao, and officially regarded himself as a Taoist disciple with the Taoist name: Yunkongzi.
Lin Yue asked Xiao Jingyun, "Do you think he doesn't plan to take revenge?"
Xiao Jingyun said: "Probably not."
Lin Yue said: "He seems to be going to become a monk after all this."
Xiao Jingyun said: "There must be other purposes."
"Could it be that since Xiaoman hasn't gotten married yet...he wants her to get married first before he takes action?"
Lin Yue said: "Then Xiaoman probably won't get married again."
As expected, not long after Yan Ce became a Taoist priest, Xiaoman also chose to comb her hair and became a female teacher.
The Yan family naturally became celebrities in Anzhou City again.
Neither the brother nor the sister got married. After one of them became the top scholar, they seemed to have let go of the matter.
One is that with the support of his adoptive parents, he immediately gave up the idea of getting married.
These discussions disappeared after a while.
Because the imperial court started a war.
Lin Yue took Xiaoman to her side to take care of her and taught her to practice meditation. However, at this time, she was more worried and could no longer sit still.
Just as the general rebelled and completely turned against the emperor, the court became increasingly urgent, needing not only generals to lead the troops, but also capable ministers.
At this time, someone recommended Yan Ce.
Yan Ce, who had been silent for seven years, once again appeared in everyone's mouths.
However, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and ignored the imperial edict. It was not until the general captured ten cities in a row that the emperor, driven to despair, came to find Yan Ce in person.
Xiaoman went back to the Yan family and muttered to herself after returning, "It turns out the emperor already knew his background and was using him."
"It's a pity that I didn't know anything and thought it was really him..."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. The emperor was still shameless and wanted to threaten them with their lives. In fact, no matter what, their family could not escape the oppression of imperial power.
But in her previous life, the emperor seemed so high and mighty that she had never even met him.
In this life, the emperor completely lowered his posture and spoke entirely for the sake of the overall situation.
Both her parents were moved by him, what else could she say?
Lin Yue hugged her and coaxed her gently, "It's all in the past. Didn't your elder brother refuse to join the government?"
"The Emperor cannot force a monk to do anything."
