How could I not know her?
A bitter look appeared on Gu Lin's face, but it quickly disappeared.
How could he not know his wife, whom he had longed for day and night and searched for for four years?
"I've never heard of this Empress Dowager before. Does the Second Miss like her very much?" Gu Lin continued, following Yun Hui's words. Once Jiang Yu was mentioned, Yun Hui became more talkative.
"I like her very much."
Yunhui accepted the water brought by the maid. When the maid heard Yunhui mention Jiang Yu again, she immediately began to close the door.
Gu Lin also took this action in full view.
“She went into battle without the slightest fear…” Yunhui spoke for a long time, then lowered her voice, “Also, she was very good to her children.”
She was treated as well as her mother had when she was still alive.
Gu Lin didn't say anything, just listened quietly from the side.
"Look at me, I can't stop talking once I start. Let's stop here for today." A bitter look appeared on Yunhui's face. She missed her mother too.
Mo'er...
Whenever she faced Mo'er, she would think of the night her mother gave birth, and she really couldn't convince herself to forget that night.
"Then I shall take my leave."
Gu Lin strode away from Yun Hui's courtyard. This Yun family really is... seemingly prosperous on the outside, but rotten inside.
Was Ayu's entry into the Yun family four years ago accidental or intentional?
Thinking of this, Gu Lin's eyes deepened. If the Yun family intended to do this, then the Yun family... would have to disappear from this world.
......
When Yun Mo suddenly appeared in front of the Yun family patriarch, the patriarch's expression faltered, and he asked with a sullen face, "Mo'er, why are you back?"
"Didn't I tell you to stay in Da Yu for a while longer so you could find out the actual situation there?"
Yun Mo, who had intended to directly question the Yun family head, swallowed back the words he was about to utter when he saw the Yun family head's obvious impatience.
"I... there's no point in me staying there."
"Fine, then go tinker with the mechanisms in your courtyard." The Yun family patriarch didn't really have any expectations for his eccentric son, so he just spoke coldly.
As Yunmo was leaving the house, he bumped right into Yunqing.
"Second brother is back?" Yun Qing asked incredulously. Didn't Father say that second brother would stay in Da Yu for at least a month?
"Um."
Yun Mo responded calmly, and Yun Qing didn't mind either, smiling as she said, "Father has something to discuss with me, so I'll head over first. I'll go chat with my second brother tonight."
Walking on the path of the Yun family, Yun Mo began to wonder for the first time whether his father preferred him, the young master, or his elder brother.
His father never seemed to criticize him seriously; each time, he would look at him with a disappointed expression and say, "Go back to your yard."
But what about the eldest brother? Father would severely punish the eldest brother for even the slightest mistake.
For a moment, Yunmo was also a little confused.
As Yunmo walked, his steps became unsteady, and when he stood outside the courtyard, he hesitated for a long time before finally knocking on the gate.
"Second sister, I'm back."
Inside the courtyard, Yun Hui, who was practicing martial arts, almost stumbled and fell to the ground when she heard Yun Mo's voice. Gu Lin quickly helped her up, saying, "Thank you, Master."
"Mo'er is back."
Gu Lin was somewhat surprised by Yun Hui's unfamiliarity with Yun Mo.
How could two siblings, who are clearly born of the same mother, be so estranged?
"How have you been in Da Yu these past few days?" Yun Hui poured Yun Mo a cup of tea, which Yun Mo took and sipped slowly.
"very good."
Hearing Yunmo's sparing reply, Gu Lin's lips twitched violently. This was completely different from the Yunmo who had accompanied Yao Yao on her outing that day.
"Second sister, do you...do you know Cousin Ming?"
Yun Mo's sudden question startled Yun Hui, "Why are you suddenly so interested in Cousin Ming?"
No...no.
When lying, Yunmo would make a lot of small movements, never putting down the cup he was holding. "I just... I just thought of it so I asked."
“I’ve been to Minghua Water Pavilion a few times recently. Cousin Ming is a very nice person.”
"Me too...I also want to go see them."
Yunmo's expression turned serious, as if he had made a big decision.
“Then I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Yun Hui didn’t know Yun Mo’s true thoughts. After thinking for a moment, she agreed. Only Gu Lin’s eyes were filled with darkness.
......
The next day.
"Miss, the young master and the second young lady have arrived."
"Young Master is back?" Jiang Yu, who was reading a book, immediately perked up. "Please come in quickly."
This young master who returned from Dayu is one of the few opportunities she can seize right now.
Yunmo walked very slowly into the Minghua Water Pavilion, following only behind Yunhui.
"This must be the young master. I apologize for not having paid my respects to him before."
Jiang Yu's voice rang out, and Yun Mo finally raised his face. The moment he saw Jiang Yu clearly, Yun Mo staggered back a few steps. The woman in front of him had features that were magnified into an unrecognizable shape.
"I......"
Yunmo was speechless. With such similar faces, the truth was obvious at a glance.
His father really did kidnap the Empress Dowager of Dayu and did such a disappointing thing.
"Is there something on my face?" Jiang Yu also realized that something was wrong with Yun Mo. "Why is Young Master staring at my face?"
"So cute."
Yunmo's words made Yunhui turn her head to look at him a few times. Cute... Can such a word used to describe a child be used to describe Cousin Ming in this situation?
Yunmo stayed at the Minghua Water Pavilion for a full hour, spending more than half of that time looking at Jiang Yu's face.
“Mo’er was really… Cousin Ming, please don’t take it to heart.”
Yun Hui looked at Jiang Yu with deep regret.
Jiang Yu shook her head. "Second Miss is joking. How could I blame the young master?"
Before leaving, Yunmo walked up to Jiang Yu and carefully took out a sugar cube from the sachet tied to her waist. "This is for you."
This was the sugar cube that Jiang Yao gave Yunmo before he left, and Yunmo didn't eat it the whole way.
"She...she's very cute. She loves sugar cubes and candied hawthorns."
Jiang Yu was puzzled by Yun Mo's seemingly random words, but Yun Mo continued, "She also... misses you very much."
"I...I want to fulfill her wish."
Even after Yunmo and Yunhui had been gone for a long time, Jiang Yu was still staring at the sugar cube in front of her, unable to come to her senses.
Was Yunmo referring to a little baby? Does she miss a cute little baby?
What is this little baby's wish?
