After the commotion, night fell silently, and the Zhen'an Marquis's residence fell silent after Jun Molin and the others left.
"Grandmother, Father, Eldest Brother, I'm going back to my room now." Yun Qingran stretched, feeling a little tired after a busy day.
"Go on, go on, get some rest." Madam Zhao waved her hand with a smile, telling her to go and rest.
"Mm." Yun Qingran walked back to her room with light steps.
She hasn't recited the Analects and Three Hundred Tang and Song Poems for several days, and she needs to finish them as soon as possible and hand them in to her teacher.
She also wrote "A Record of a Hundred Diseases," in which she would add to the book the many diseases she had encountered and their treatments.
And another thing, I haven't checked Gaga Xiang's accounts recently, nor have I communicated with Zhang San, so I don't know how Gaga Xiang's business has been doing lately.
There are many things to do and the goal is far away, but we will reach it step by step!
After Yun Qingran returned to her room, Yun Xiao helped Zhao Shi back to her room.
"Mother, you've suffered all these years alone in the countryside." The mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Yunxiao stayed to chat with Zhao Shi for a while.
"It's not hard at all, not hard at all. I like staying in the countryside, free and unrestrained, without the constraints of formalities." Zhao suddenly remembered her two old friends who had come with her. "Did your Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao get back to the countryside safely?"
“When they got back to the countryside, they were a little frightened. Ranran prescribed a medicine for them, my son got the medicine for them, and also bought them some gifts. We had someone take them back together,” Yunxiao replied.
"Hmm." Madam Zhao nodded, then looked at Yunxiao, hesitating to speak.
"Mother, you want to ask about Ranran, right?" Yunxiao asked proactively.
"Hmm, Ranran has changed so much. What happened?" Her granddaughter's transformation was so dramatic that it made her a little uneasy.
"Ranran's change began the day she secretly climbed over the wall of the Northern Cold Prince's mansion to peek at the Northern Cold Prince bathing, and then fell into the pool. From that day on, she became intelligent, wise, flamboyant, and confident, and also learned medicine and cooking," Yunxiao said.
“Your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather were all intelligent and wise men. Ranran’s sudden intelligence can be explained by her suddenly becoming perceptive and inheriting the Yun family’s cleverness. But medical skills and cooking skills are absolutely impossible to learn without teaching and practice.” Zhao shook her head.
"Mother, I have something to tell you. Don't be anxious or afraid." Yunxiao looked at his mother. Although his mother was a country woman, she was wise beyond her years. She was actually very clever, and Ranran's identity could not be kept from her for long.
"Go ahead and say it," Zhao said, vaguely knowing what her son wanted to say to her.
"Ranran is probably not the real Ranran. Her soul has likely been replaced," Yunxiao said, tears welling up in her eyes.
No matter how naughty or ugly his daughters were before, they were still his daughters. They were the children that Shufen carried for ten months, endured countless hardships to give birth to, and raised with her own heart and soul.
After hearing this, Zhao was neither anxious, shocked, nor afraid. She simply sighed with red eyes, "I had already guessed it."
She had taken care of her granddaughter for so many years, and she knew her granddaughter better than anyone. The current Ranran was exceptionally outstanding; she couldn't possibly be the same person as her wretched granddaughter.
“Mother, although I don’t know exactly what happened, Ranran is a kind and filial child now. She’s not a bad person.” Yunxiao choked up a little and continued, “She cleaned up the mess Ranran left behind and gave the Zhen’an Marquis’s mansion a new lease on life. I hope you can accept Ranran as she is now.”
“Of course,” Zhao replied. She had seen countless people in her life, and had encountered all sorts of monsters and demons. She could tell at a glance whether someone was good or bad.
The current Ranran's heart belongs to the Yun family. She considers the Yun family her own home and the Yun family members her own family. Even if her soul has been replaced, so what? Her flesh and blood haven't changed, and her kinship hasn't changed. She is still a member of the Yun family.
"It was our negligence that allowed the second branch of the family to harm Ranran. If it weren't for the second branch, Ranran wouldn't have become the wicked woman that everyone hates. Perhaps this wouldn't have happened." Yunxiao felt extremely guilty. He was busy with official duties all day long, and he was not on guard against his second brother, which allowed Yun Xiyue to take advantage of the situation and corrupt Ranran.
“It’s all fate, Xiao’er, you don’t need to blame yourself too much.” After comforting Yunxiao, Zhao’s eyes flashed with a sharp, knife-like light. “Yun Song and Yun Lian have not learned the Yun family’s righteous and upright family tradition, but instead have learned their mother’s despicable and shameless methods. As the matriarch of the Yun family, I should set some rules for them.”
After leaving Zhao's room, Yunxiao stood in the courtyard, looked up at the brightest star in the night sky, and said to it in a rambling voice, "Shufen, our Ranran has children, twins, a boy and a girl, one named Yan Yan and the other An An. The two children are very cute."
The star in the sky brightened, as if giving him a satisfied smile.
Neither Yunxiao nor Zhao could sleep that night; they remained awake until dawn.
The next morning, Yun Qingran slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. After washing up, she went out to visit Gaga Xiang.
“Grandmother.” Upon entering the courtyard, she saw Madam Zhao.
"Ranran, why are you up so early?" When Zhao saw Yun Qingran, a loving smile immediately appeared on her face.
Yun Qingran glanced at the sun in the sky; it was already past midnight. Only her grandmother would think she was an early riser.
"I plan to get up early and go to the shop to take a look," Yun Qingran said affectionately, clinging to Zhao's arm.
Her grandmother died young in her previous life, and she never got to experience her grandmother's love. This life is a way of making up for it.
"My Ranran is so amazing, she can even open a shop and make money." Zhao affectionately reached out and gently pinched her nose.
Yun Qingran scratched the back of her head sheepishly, then asked, "Grandmother, are you going out?"
“Yes, I want to go find someone,” Zhao said, a fierce glint in her eyes.
"Grandmother, do you want to go see the Su family?" Yun Qingran asked tentatively.
Yun Song plotted against her father countless times, Yun Xiyue corrupted the original owner of the body, turning her into a wicked woman in the capital, and the poison in the original owner's body is also related to them. With her own child being bullied like this, the grandmother will surely go to the Su family to demand an explanation.
"Yes." Zhao nodded.
"Grandmother, let me go with you." Yun Qingran also wanted to see Madam Su.
“Okay.” Zhao nodded.
Yun Qingran immediately ordered a group of servants to go with her, intending to overwhelm that seductive and shameless woman, Su Shi, with her imposing presence.
After the old Marquis died, Zhao returned to the countryside, while Su went to a nearby nunnery to practice Buddhism while still keeping her hair.
Yun Qingran and Zhao Shi arrived at the nunnery in a horse-drawn carriage.
"This humble nun Huiyin, are you two here to offer incense or to draw lots?" Huiyin, who was sweeping at the entrance, saw the two men and their neatly lined servants and immediately put down her broom, stepped forward and asked respectfully.
“Send Qingyin from your nunnery here,” Yun Qingran said to Huiyin.
Qingyin is Su's Buddhist name.
"What do you want with Qingyin?" Huiyin asked, a little scared by the hostile look on their faces.
“Tell her that her mistress has arrived, and she will naturally come,” Yun Qingran said.
"Yes." Huiyin had no choice but to go to the Su family.
