Chapter 44: Even the last shred of loyalty was gone.



Grandpa Yun rubbed Sisi's head. "Give the silver notes back to them."

“We won’t return it. This isn’t about the money; it’s about whether they’ve done us a favor or begged us to help them get rich. I just made it clear that Old Master Wang’s people said the money was a donation from the Wang family.”

Yun Qinghui blinked. Where did you explicitly state anything? Never mind, I'll wait until they've finished telling their story before asking.

Grandpa Yun's expression froze for a moment.

Sisi continued, "Also, not just anyone can get on the Yun family's ship. If it weren't for the fact that my older cousin likes that boy, and that boy really wants to take my older cousin back, I wouldn't have let them get on the ship."

Grandpa Yun was amused by Sisi's tone. "Don't mention that boy, that boy, that boy is your cousin-in-law."

"Okay." Sisi looked at Yun Qinghui. "Second Aunt, do you understand now?"

"……No."

"..." Sisi looked over at Grandpa Yun. The implication was: How are you raising your child? Don't you understand?

Grandpa Yun: "..." You think everyone is like you? You little rascal. "Ahem! If Grandpa Wang doesn't agree, Yi Cheng won't be able to escape, and even if he does, he'll be caught and brought back."

Yun Qinghui: "..." Right! How could she not have thought of that? Cheng'er doesn't have Xiao Liu's abilities, how could he have run away from home? "You mean the Wang family thinks our Yun family can make a comeback?"

Sisi: "Mmm."

Grandpa Yun: "It's not a big deal if he can't get up. If I remember correctly, that child is neither the eldest grandson nor the most promising child in the Wang family."

really.

Grandpa Yun continued, "Also, if our family still hasn't recovered in five or six years, it won't be too late for the Wang family to take that child back."

really.

"Then...then when Yue'er is older in two years, should we still let her marry him? If our family can't recover, and the Wang family takes Cheng'er back, then Yue'er...then she won't have a husband, will she?"

Grandpa Yun looked over at Sisi.

Sisi handed the silver notes to Yun Qinghui. "Then give the silver notes back to them. I'll have Lao Hei knock that kid out."

"This... your cousin and Cheng'er have known each other since they were little. Your cousin has secretly cried several times because of this."

"Then what should we do?" Sisi looked into Yun Qinghui's eyes and said, "Nothing in this world is foolproof."

"Um... could you please let your cousin-in-law stay with us indefinitely?"

"No." Tian Weiyue wasn't her biological sister, nor was she as clingy as Jiulang and Xiaoba. She wasn't going to bother with that; she had many other things to do.

Yun Qinghui looked towards Grandpa Yun. "Grandpa?"

"Xiao Liu is right, nothing in this world is foolproof."

Yun Qinghui hesitated for a long time before finally lifting the curtain on the carriage window and looking outside.

Outside, two little mandarin ducks are expressing their longing for each other.

That's enough!

Yun Qinghui lowered the curtain and looked at Old Master Yun and Sisi, saying, "Let the two of them be together. If the Wang family takes Cheng'er back later, I'll find Yue'er another one."

Grandpa Yun: "Alright."

Sisi: "Keep the money."

“I won’t take it. Grandpa already told us that it was because you had people guarding us that we weren’t burned to death or robbed by bandits. Besides, the Wang family only sent Cheng’er because they thought you and Grandpa were capable.”

"You chat with Grandpa. Your second aunt went to set rules for your cousin Yue'er and that boy. Letting him come along is fine, but the rules still need to be followed."

After saying that, Yun Qinghui went to find Tian Weiyue and Wang Yicheng.

Sisi handed the silver note to Grandpa Yun. "Great-Grandpa, here you go."

Grandpa Yun closed his eyes briefly. "Alright, if you need it, just ask your great-grandfather."

"Hmm." Sisi placed the silver note in Grandpa Yun's hand. "Grandpa, water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers. The fact that you have always been unable to defeat Consort Zhang and the Seventh Prince is largely due to your integrity. Most officials do not want a confidant by the emperor's side who is neither corrupt nor biased."

"..." That's true. If the people around the emperor were all incorruptible, most officials would have a hard time.

Old Master Yun put the silver notes away.

Sisi tilted her head and looked at Grandpa Yun, saying, "Grandpa, do you think the eldest prince also thought of this? So, as soon as you were punished by the emperor and could no longer fight for him, he ruthlessly attacked my aunt and the others."

"..."

Even the last bit of loyalty that Old Master Yun had for the First Prince was extinguished by Sisi's words!

On the other side, Yun Qinghui called Tian Weiyue and Wang Yicheng to another carriage and told them that Old Master Yun and Sisi had agreed to let Wang Yicheng stay.

Before Tian Weiyue and Wang Yi could even be happy, Yun Qinghui started setting rules for them.

After establishing the rules, Yun Qinghui looked at them and asked, "Can you do it?"

Tian Weiyue and Wang Yicheng: "Yes. Mother/Auntie, please don't worry."

"Yes. Cheng'er, you haven't met your third aunt yet. I'll take you to say hello to her."

"good."

After Yun Qinghui led Tian Weiyue and Wang Yicheng to greet Feng Chan, she let them go off to have a private chat. "Sister-in-law, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

No. These two kids have a really good relationship.

"Yes. Cheng'er has liked Yue'er since he was a child, and he said he wanted to marry Yue'er as his wife."

"How enviable."

"Yes. I hope their relationship can stay this good."
