Just because he's younger than Wen Ziqing, Wen Ziqing gets every advantage in the world. Grandpa not only arranged such a great marriage for Wen Ziqing, but also handed the Wen family over to him. So, what exactly does Wen Ziyun really mean to Grandpa and the others? Was he born to be a foil for Wen Ziqing?
No! He won't just accept his fate like this. One day, everything that Wen Ziqing has, he, Wen Ziyun, will get!
Wen Ziqiu felt that the anger in his heart was constantly burning. He could not stay in this house for a moment. He wanted to go out for a walk and see the people he wanted to see.
Wen Ziyun turned around and walked out of the front yard. He didn't even hear his sister Wen Ziqiu calling him from behind.
"Sister Ziqiu, what happened to Brother Ziyun? He seems very unhappy." In the yard, the snowman had already taken shape. Wen Ziling saw Wen Ziyun was blown out of the door like a gust of wind, and did not even hear Wen Ziqiu's call. She couldn't help feeling a little strange.
"I don't know, who cares!" Wen Ziqiu shrugged, unconcerned. Wen Ziyun had been acting strangely for two years, often alone in a daze or gritting his teeth. Compared to his anger, going out for a walk was a trivial matter.
Seeing that her sister Wen Ziqiu didn't care, Wen Ziling also put Wen Ziyun's "weirdness" behind her. After all, their family was only staying in Kyoto for a few days and would return to Qingshan City after the New Year. She didn't have time to pay attention to the trivial matters of her grandfather's and uncle's families.
Wu Xiuli ran upstairs, returned to her room, and took out a paper crane. This was a communication talisman that Wu Xiuyun had left for Wu Xiuli. Wu Xiuyun had left one for her mother and one for Wu Xiuli.
Wu Xiuyun once said that if Wu Xiuli had any problems that she couldn't solve, she could let the paper crane convey the message to her.
Wu Xiuyun told Wu Xiuli how to use the paper crane. After Wu Xiuli said a few words to the paper crane, she just had to press on its wings and the crane would automatically fly out to find Wu Xiuyun.
Three years had passed since Wu Xiuyun's passing, and Wu Xiuli hadn't used a paper crane. But today, the Wen family had gone too far. Not only Wen Yiran, but even the brothers Wen Yuxiang and Wen Yulun had teamed up to bully their eldest brother and even threatened to deprive them of Ziyun's inheritance rights. How could Wu Xiuli tolerate this?
Wu Xiuli, who had lived in Kyoto for many years, was no longer the village girl she had been decades earlier. The title of "head of the household" represented more than just a facade; it also carried the power and status that lay beneath it. Wu Xiuli had long planned that after Wen Yiran passed the position of head of the household to her husband, Wen Yulong, she would ensure that Wen Yulong passed it on to their son, Wen Ziyun. Wen Ziqing? That was a vicious wolf. With Wen Ziqing in power, what would become of the Wen family, along with Wu Xiuli, mother, and son?
Wu Xiuli was planning to have Wu Xiuyun take some time off to visit Kyoto City and show her in-laws some of her strength. Her sister was a fairy lady, and her younger sister's family was being bullied, but the Wen family refused to give the fairy lady face. Since her sister had the ability to cure the old woman's illness, it shouldn't be difficult for her to get sick again.
Wu Xiuli pursed her lips, secretly furious in her heart.
"Xiu Li, listen to me." As soon as Wu Xiu Li took out the paper crane, Wen Yulong followed her into the room.
"What? You also think Ziyun is not worthy of inheriting the Wen family?" Wu Xiuli thought Wen Yulong was here to persuade her, and she felt very unhappy.
"No, our Ziyun is so outstanding. Dad can't see Ziyun's good points. He has no vision." Wen Yulong sat next to Wu Xiuli and said, "Xiuli, can you let your elder sister speak a few words for us? Dad will definitely give your elder sister face."
"Yeah, I was just about to talk to my eldest sister and ask her to come over!" Wu Xiuli felt relieved when she heard that Wen Yulong didn't mean to stop her. After being married to Wen Yulong for so many years, Wu Xiuli knew Wen Yulong's thoughts thoroughly. Even if it wasn't for Wen Ziyun, just for his face, he would have been eager for Wu Xiuli to ask Wu Xiuyun to support them.
"Xiu Li, there's something else. Can I ask my elder sister to help with this?" Wen Yulong thought about it and decided to tell Wu Xiu Li about his punishment. Every Chinese New Year, Wen Yulong would be busy with the reunion and condolences in the army. This year, it wouldn't be his turn. Wu Xiu Li would know what happened sooner or later. It would be better for him to tell her himself so that Wu Xiu Li could ask Wu Xiu Yun for help.
"Ah? Why are the Zhou family so overbearing? It's true, Zhao Yunxiang is a bitch. That year, my mother-in-law and I went to the Zhao family to propose marriage for Ziyun, and she scolded us several times." Wu Xiuli heard that Wen Yulong was implicated because of the Yunyun Garment Factory incident, and she was furious with both the Zhou family and Zhao Yunxiang. Back then, the Zhao family was just a bunch of unsophisticated people, running to Qingshan City to find Wen Yiran, with no knowledge of etiquette at all, which made her busy and busy. Wu Xiuli always remembered this incident.
Two years ago, Wu Xiuli went to the Zhao family to ask for the engagement to be changed to Wen Ziyun because Wen Ziyun liked Zhou Yuanyuan. Not only did the request fail, but Wu Xiuli was also scolded by Zhao Yunxiang, which further increased her resentment towards her. However, Zhao Yunxiang's family had been very popular in recent years, and Wu Xiuli, seeing that even someone as domineering as Feng Xueying didn't dare to provoke the Zhao family, suppressed her resentment.
When Wu Xiuli heard Wen Yulong say that Zhao Yunxiang was in trouble, she wanted to ask her sister to support her in order to save face.
"It's because he has a grandfather who has made many achievements in war!" Wen Yulong said sourly.
The Wen family is different from the Zhou family. When Wen Jingtao was alive, the Wen family and the Zhou family had equal status. Unfortunately, Wen Yiran's branch was not Wen Jingtao's direct descendant, so Wen Yulong knew that he was still far inferior to Zhou Zhixin.
But this didn't stop him from being jealous of Zhou Zhixin. Zhou Zhixin had originally been a soldier under Wen Yulong! After being recognized by General Zhou, he now held a higher position than Wen Yulong. Wen Yulong couldn't see Zhou Zhixin's efforts, only the mighty and domineering General Zhou above him, believing that everything Zhou Zhixin had was thanks to General Zhou.
"Hmph! No matter how powerful a general is, can he be as powerful as my sister?" Wu Xiuli raised her chin, proud of Wu Xiuyun. Indeed, Wu Xiuyun had told Wu Xiuli that cultivators were superior to all mortals, and some cultivators were even more powerful than an entire army.
Wu Xiuli listened half and imagined the other half, automatically associating this cultivator who was "more powerful than the army" with her sister Wu Xiuyun.
Wu Xiuli picked up the paper crane and said a few words to it, then poked its wings with her finger. The crane didn't move at all.
"Huh? My sister told me to poke the wings, why didn't it work?" Wu Xiuli felt very strange. She picked up the paper crane and looked at it over and over again. Yes, it was the one her sister gave her before she left.
