Zhao Yunzhu smiled silently and comforted the girl calmly.
The girl hesitated for only a moment before stuffing the pastry into her mouth.
She wolfed down the pastry and looked at Zhao Yunzhu with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu handed her another cup of tea. The girl quickly took it and drank the whole cup of tea in one gulp.
She raised her hand and wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then looked at Zhao Yunzhu and smiled awkwardly, "Sister, my name is Yun'er. My parents passed away a while ago, so I came to Lijia Village to live with my aunt..."
When Yun'er mentioned her aunt, her eyes instantly became moist.
Thinking of everything she had seen today, Yun'er's body couldn't stop shaking.
It's so heartbreaking to watch.
Her aunt was her only relative in this world, but now even this only relative is gone.
"Don't be afraid, Yun'er. You're safe now." Zhao Yunzhu gently wiped the dust off Yun'er's cheek with a handkerchief. "Yun'er, can you tell me what happened in Lijia Village today?"
Yun'er's body stiffened.
After a long pause, he told everyone what happened today.
"Today, many vicious people came and took Granny Li and her family away. The villagers stepped forward to stop them, but..."
"They ended up killing everyone they saw!"
Yun'er's eyes were filled with fear again.
Today she went to Granny Li's house to play with the baby girl who was not yet one year old. Since she came to Lijia Village, she would often come to Granny Li's house to play. Today she saw that Chun'er suddenly had a rash all over her body.
Remembering some folk remedies her mother had taught her, she went to the mountains to look for herbs.
It was because of this that she escaped the disaster. She hid halfway up the mountain and watched as Grandma Li's family and Chun'er were taken away. The villagers of Lijia Village were brutally killed by those people, including her aunt.
Those villains were extremely brutal. In just one hour, they managed to slaughter an entire village.
She hid behind the bushes and witnessed it all.
She could only watch as the men carried the body away.
Zhao Yunzhu heard from Yun'er about the tragic situation in Lijia Village today. She gritted her teeth and wished she could eat the wise king alive.
How can such a person without humanity be called a human being!
"Yun'er, would you like to follow your sister in the future?"
Yun'er stared blankly at her sister in front of her, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Now that she has lost her last relative in this world, she asked, "Sister, is it really okay?" Her voice was filled with caution.
As if she was afraid that she would regret it in the next second, Zhao Yunzhu hurriedly explained, "Sister, I don't eat much, and I can work. I can do any dirty or tiring work. As long as you are willing to give me a bite to eat, that's all I need!"
Her eyes were particularly determined.
This made Zhao Yunzhu feel particularly distressed.
"Don't be afraid, Yun'er. Just follow your sister from now on."
She took Yun'er's hand and took her into the carriage.
Yun'er is the only survivor in Lijia Village. After all, everything that happened to Lijia Village is inextricably linked to her.
She would be lying if she said she didn't feel guilty or remorseful.
The only thing she could do now was to avenge the people of Lijia Village.
Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Yunzhu lifted the curtain and looked at Lijia Village shrouded in its distinctive features. She secretly swore in her heart that she would avenge all the innocent people who died in Lijia Village.
Yun'er was very careful along the way. She kept her body tense and sat upright in the carriage.
I only dared to glance at the surrounding environment secretly.
She didn't know why this sister came to Lijia Village. Moreover, this sister was dressed so elegantly that she didn't look like an ordinary person.
She didn't dare ask more questions. Now she had a place to stay and food to eat.
Just thank God.
Even though she was still young, she could tell at a glance what had happened in Lijia Village that the identities of those people were probably not simple.
She didn't dare to report to the authorities because she didn't trust them.
Now she can only lie low, and when she has the ability in the future, she will definitely avenge her aunt!
A seed of hatred was planted in Yun'er's little body.
When it was just dawn.
The carriage finally arrived in Chang'an City.
After entering the city gate, the long street was still deserted, and the carriage of Prince An's mansion was speeding on the empty long street.
Until the carriage stopped in front of Prince An's Mansion, Zhao Yunzhu got off the carriage with the help of her maid.
Yun'er followed carefully, and when she looked up and saw the magnificent plaque, she was shocked.
She learned a few words from her mother.
She still recognized the words on the plaque.
Seeing everyone being so respectful in front of my sister, I guess this sister is the master of Prince An's Mansion.
"elder sister--"
She just opened her mouth and realized something was wrong, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Your Excellency..."
Along the way, Yun'er experienced such a huge change in Lijia Village, but she was still so calm and composed, which shocked Aunt Hua.
Now that my young lady has brought everyone back.
Aunt Hua kindly reminded, "Yun'er, when you enter Prince An's mansion, you must address the master as Concubine Yun. Don't break the rules."
Yun'er nodded gratefully to Nanny Hua, then turned around and, imitating the servants of Prince An's Mansion, bowed respectfully to Concubine Yun Ce, "Concubine Yun."
Zhao Yunzhu smiled and reached out to help her up. "Yun'er, get up. When you live in Prince An's Mansion in the future, if there's anything you're not used to, just tell Madam Hua. Don't be shy."
Yun'er nodded obediently.
After entering Prince An's mansion, Nanny Hua saw that her young lady's face was full of fatigue, and she advised, "Miss, you've been tossing and turning all night last night. Why don't you rest for a while?"
Zhao Yunzhu opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Yun'er's confused look, she swallowed the words back.
Yun'er noticed something was wrong, lowered her head and took a step back. Linglong smiled and walked forward to take her downstairs to settle down first.
When no one else was around, Zhao Yunzhu finally spoke, "Mammy, I'm worried about Chun'er."
Aunt Hua sighed and advised, "Miss, there's no need to rush now. Someone has already gone to investigate. Don't exhaust yourself first. Otherwise, who else can Miss Chun'er count on?"
"Even if you are worried right now, you should still consider the overall situation."
Why doesn't Zhao Yunzhu understand these principles?
But Chun'er is her only closest relative in this world.
Youyou sighed, and finally listened to Aunt Hua's words and went back to rest.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Zhao Yunzhu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
It was not until the dawn light shone through the cracks in the window that she felt sleepy. She slept until dark before waking up.
She opened her eyes and saw Aunt Hua standing by her bed, dozing off with her hands on the pillar.
Linglong was sitting on a low couch by the window, embroidering with needle and thread in her hands.
She was embroidering a bellyband for the young lady's unborn baby to wear when it was born. Half a tiger was embroidered on the soft red brocade.
