Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "My sister is afraid of me?"
Yanling, Yunfu.
It was three days later when Jiang Daiyi woke up.
Lu Wan came in with the medicine and asked in surprise, "The girl is awake?"
Jiang Daiyi realized that she had returned to the Yun Mansion, and her expression relaxed a little. Since she was already in the Yun Mansion, she must have believed that Yun Qin had also returned to Yan State.
Lu Wan helped Jiang Daiyi sit up and fed her medicine. Jiang Daiyi asked, "Where's my brother?"
The medicine tasted bitter, and Jiang Daiyi frowned as she drank it. Lu Wan handed her a candied fruit and said, "The young master sent someone to bring the girl back. He must still be negotiating with King Huai Geng on the battlefield right now."
After Yunqin disappeared for several days, King Xianglin finally waited for Yunqin.
King Huai Geng did not want to fight to the death with the State of Yan. Since Yun Qin came with Wei Xian's troops, he must be very confident in this battle. If King Wei really wanted to help Yun Qin, King Huai Geng would definitely be defeated. At this time, the best strategy was to retreat and seek peace with Yun Qin.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Daiyi asked, "King Huai Geng, why did you initiate a war and then ask for peace?"
In this case, the people in the border areas would have suffered an unexpected disaster.
Lu Wan didn't understand any of this and couldn't answer Jiang Daiyi's questions, but she had heard other rumors from the streets. "I heard that the young master came with an imperial edict from the King of Wei, and that King Huai Geng's real purpose was just to test the strength of Yan. In reality, there wasn't a real battle between Yan and Qian, and the casualties weren't serious. It just frightened the people on the border."
Now the monarchs of various countries are watching with eager eyes, and from time to time they are testing my strength and trying to touch my bottom line. If any country shows any weakness, it will be swallowed up.
King Wei and King Huai Geng attacked King Xianglin almost at the same time. No matter how you look at it, there was someone controlling the situation behind the scenes.
Jiang Daiyi got off the bed, put on her embroidered shoes and wanted to go out, but Lu Wan looked hesitant and advised Jiang Daiyi, "Miss, why don't you stay at home?"
Jiang Daiyi asked in confusion, "Why?"
Lu Wan's eyes dodged, with an indescribable expression: "Because..."
Jiang Daiyi walked past Lu Wan, pushed open the door, and stopped just before stepping out. A mourning hall was set up in the Yun Mansion. Soul-guiding banners were floating outside her courtyard, and the bleak white light caught Jiang Daiyi's eyes. Lu Wan was panicked and intended to pull Jiang Daiyi back into the house.
"Girl, you'd better stop looking. Let's go back to the house."
Jiang Daiyi grabbed Lu Wan's hand and asked, "Who are you holding a funeral for?"
Lu Wan didn't dare to look into Jiang Daiyi's eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "It was the young master who said that Miss Yunyi... has passed away. This funeral is for Miss Yunyi."
Jiang Daiyi's face instantly lost all color.
Yunqin knew, no, maybe he had always known it.
Lu Wan looked at the stunned Jiang Daiyi and tried to wake her up, "Girl..."
"I can't stay here any longer." Jiang Daiyi stepped forward.
"If you don't want to stay here, where do you want to go?" Yun Qin's figure suddenly turned out from the corridor. He walked slowly and calmly, with a cold smile on his face.
Jiang Daiyi clenched her fists and stepped back subconsciously.
"Sister, are you afraid of me?" Yun Qin waved his hand to signal Lu Wan to step back.
There were only two people left in the courtyard, and the autumn light was bright under the eaves.
Jiang Daiyi looked at the white banners all over the mansion and said firmly, "You knew this a long time ago?"
Yun Qin turned slightly, his long eyes swept towards Bai Fan, and he said calmly, "I know."
Jiang Daiyi thought Yun Qin was crazy. "So for the past seven years, you've been letting me scheme and test you like a clown. Master Yun, do you think that's fun?"
Yun Qin: "But isn't this your own choice? It was you who chose to be my sister."
Jiang Daiyi raised her eyes slightly. She looked into Yun Qin's eyes that saw through the world and denied it, "When did I ever make a choice?"
Yun Qin withdrew his gaze from the Soul Guiding Banner, and stared at Jiang Daiyi with his emotionless eyes, saying, "It seems that my sister no longer wants to acknowledge the promise she made in the past."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Daiyi had indeed had a purpose when she infiltrated the Yun family and impersonated Yun Yi, but that was out of desperation. She had already confessed this to Yun Qin. How could she have chosen something she couldn't control? And how could she have made any promises to him?
Seeing that she had completely forgotten, Yun Qin did not get angry. He just took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. On the bottle was engraved the special pattern of the interior of Tianque. He placed the small porcelain bottle in front of Jiang Daiyi.
"What about this? Does my sister still remember it?"
Jiang Daiyi's eyes fixed on the small porcelain bottle in Yunqin's hand, and she understood the whole story in an instant.
Yun Qin caught the shift in Jiang Daiyi's expression and recalled, "Back then, I was possessed by a human-faced ghost. Every day, I practiced my internal skills beneath the cold pond, using frost flowers to dispel the poison. Year after year, I struggled with the pain of losing my loved ones and being alone."
So that's how it is. No wonder she felt everything was too smooth after entering the Yun family. It turned out that everything was arranged by Yun Qin behind the scenes.
Yun Qin spoke softly, and he reached out to touch Jiang Daiyi's cheek. "The person by the cold pond that day was me."
Jiang Daiyi's eyes were faintly red, and a clear tear fell on Yun Qin's fingertips. She remembered everything.
Those days were too painful. She looked at the people coming and going by the cold pond with hope, hoping that they could take her away from that purgatory-like place.
She had approached again and again, but was always rejected and expelled. Before being completely blinded by Qian Xiang, she leaned on a dry branch and stumbled to the edge of the cold pond for the last time. She could not see the face of the person on the shore, but she still wanted to try again.
Until Qian Xiang noticed her thoughts and warned her that her parents were controlled by Tianque, and if she dared to leave, her relatives would die.
Therefore, even though Yun Qin still hoped that Jiang Daiyi would appear again, she never went to the cold pond again.
"I'm willing to let you conceal your identity for seven years. It's not a whim, nor is it a joke. I give you hope, and you give me life. The entanglement between us has long been inseparable."
Yun Qin lowered his head slightly, looking Jiang Daiyi in the eye. Relief filled his eyes. "The past is gone. Sister, will you stay and watch me, and work with me to make this world a better place?"
[Don't be unhappy. If you have nowhere to turn to, why not work hard to make this world a better place...]
Jiang Daiyi’s words to Yun Qin back then are still ringing in her ears.
Yun Qin smiled lightly, like the spring sun melting snow and warming jade to a brilliant glow. He said, "So, can you please not leave?"
Jiang Daiyi had never expected that Yun Qin had suppressed so many things in his heart. At this moment, she raised her eyes and asked, "But what identity should I use to stay in the Yun family?"
Yun Qin said, "You can still be my sister. No one in the Yun family or the world will have any objections."
Jiang Daiyi was a little depressed. Things always seemed a little unpredictable and wrong, but the current situation was difficult to reverse. The development was really too strange, making her feel extremely uneasy.
Yun Qin looked at the hesitation in her expression, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed across his eyes.
"Why, sister doesn't want to?"
The wind blowing in her face was a little cold, and Jiang Daiyi shrank back. She was breathless, her lips slightly raised, and she said, "I might..."
"Auntie?"
Madam Yun Li, dressed in plain clothes, came over. She looked at Yun Qin and Jiang Daiyi and sighed, "Life is unpredictable. Don't worry about it, Daiyi?"
Jiang Daiyi hadn't expected Madam Yunli to address her like that. She bowed slightly to Madam Yunli, but the words "Aunt" could no longer escape her lips. Madam Yunli looked at Yunqin, who nodded calmly, "How did Auntie get here?"
"Let me come and see you."
Jiang Daiyi was helped up by Madam Yunli. She said to Jiang Daiyi, "Ai Ai, I'd better keep calling you this. If you don't want to, I can also call you Daiyi."
Jiang Daiyi did not answer her, but only asked: "Aunt, don't you blame me for what I did before?" She actually still cared about her feelings and was afraid that she would not like other people's reputation.
Madam Yunli looked at the white banner outside and said sadly, "The dead are gone, so why cling to them? We should cherish the people we have now."
Jiang Daiyi felt a dull pain in her chest. Her internal injuries had not yet healed. She whispered, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I can't stay in the Yun family."
Madam Yun Li was slightly surprised when she heard this. She secretly glanced at Yun Qin who was standing beside her, and sure enough, she saw that the young man's face turned slightly cold.
"Aiai, have you really made up your mind?" Madam Yunli wanted to persuade her.
Jiang Daiyi stepped back and bowed to the two of them. She expressed gratitude with every word as she said goodbye. "I've been so grateful to my aunt and brother for their care over the years. I've already occupied someone else's identity for seven years. Now, I shouldn't continue. Now that Miss Yun has returned, I must leave."
Yun Qin heard what she said, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ling, sneering silently.
After saying goodbye, Jiang Daiyi turned around and wanted to leave, but she saw many secret guards suddenly rushing in from outside the courtyard. They were Yun Qin's men.
Madam Yun Li was not surprised. She had long known that Yun Qin would not let Jiang Daiyi leave easily. The conversation they had that day in the small county town was still ringing in her ears.
That day, Yun Qin's naturally elegant and graceful face showed a rare persistence. "Aunt, I can't let her leave. I want her to be with me all the time."
Madam Yunli asked him, "Could it be that you have developed romantic feelings for her?"
Love between men and women?
Yun Qin twisted the porcelain vase between his fingers, thinking seriously for a moment, and said, "I don't know if it's a love story between a man and a woman. Maybe it is, and maybe not. But no matter whether it is or not, I will not let her leave. From now on, day and night, spring and autumn, she can only stay by my side."
The sound of the eaves bells was pleasant. Madam Yun Li looked at the secret guards in the yard, but she felt powerless. She could not stop Yun Qin's decision at all.
Jiang Daiyi felt a chill in her heart. Yun Qin had already begun to blatantly restrict her freedom?
She looked at Yun Qin and called him politely, "Mr. Yun, what are you going to do?"
Yun Qin's tone was still as gentle as usual. He took a few steps and approached Jiang Daiyi. "Sister, this is your home. Where else do you want to go?"
Jiang Daiyi held the small hairpin under her sleeve in her hand. She warned Yun Qin lightly, "Brother, are you going to force me to attack you?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qin took the initiative to place the hairpin in her hand against his chest and said gently, "Sister, you can try. Even in your prime, you were no match for me, let alone now that you only have a third of your internal strength left."
Jiang Daiyi pulled the hairpin back and threw it to the ground. She looked at Yunqin with a little anger and said to him, "Are you crazy?"
Yun Qin did not hide the dark emotions in his eyes and told her: "As long as my sister stays by my side, I won't go crazy."
