He Ning sighed helplessly, stood up, and helped Yun Mo up.
"Mo'er, don't you look down on your sister? Your sister looks down on you too. So, don't go near your sister anymore. You'll only make her angry for no reason!" He Ning patted the dust off Yun Mo and said.
Yunmo immediately retorted, "I didn't look down on her! I..."
He Ning frowned, interrupting Yun Mo with displeasure, "Do I need to remind you of what you said yourself?"
Yunmo was stunned.
He said a lot to Yun Chuwei.
He said that Yun Chuwei had used tricks to gain the Emperor's favor.
He said that if the truth comes out in the future, Yun Chuwei will implicate the Marquis's family.
He also said...
But those were his old thoughts; he doesn't think that way anymore.
Seeing Yunmo remain silent, He Ning continued, "Yunmo, I wasn't joking when I said you were stupid before. Many of the things you've done, if it weren't for the fact that I'm your mother, I would have kicked you out of the Marquis's mansion long ago. As your mother, it's my fault for not raising you properly, so I can tolerate your stupidity. But your sister has no obligation to tolerate you!"
Yunmo looked at He Ning and asked, "Mother, do you hate me too?"
He said inappropriate things in front of his sister, which made her dislike him, and he accepted it.
He had never disobeyed his mother or spoken to her in a disrespectful manner, so why did his mother dislike him?
He Ning gave a mocking laugh: "Shouldn't I hate you? Do you know why Yun Xian and Yun Lianhua went to jail?"
Yunmo nodded. He knew it was because their attempt to poison his mother had failed.
"Then what did you do?" He Ning sneered.
Yunmo only realized he had made a mistake after being questioned by He Ning.
"I...I just felt...that Mother was alright. Besides, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so I wanted to plead for Father. Also, regarding the poisoning, I felt that Yun Lianhua wasn't the mastermind, so I wanted to protect her..." Yun Mo explained hastily.
He Ning was furious: "Yes, I'm not dead, I'm still alive! It's because Weiwei noticed I was poisoned at a glance and reminded me to see a doctor that I was lucky enough to survive! Just because I'm fine, does that mean they can cover up the fact that they poisoned me?"
Yunmo shook his head and staggered backward.
That's not how it works.
He Ning continued, "There are many reasons you should understand, you just feel that there are differences in closeness and distance, right?"
Yunmo shook his head: "I didn't, you and your sister..."
He Ning interrupted him directly: "From the old lady's perspective, Yun Xian is her own son, and Yun Lianhua is her own granddaughter. You were raised by the old lady, so you are closer to her and feel that Yun Xian is closer to you. Yun Lianhua is also your own sister, which I can understand. I didn't stop you from protecting them."
“You have your own preferences, and I have mine. In my eyes, you can never compare to your sister. Don’t upset your sister again! Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!” He Ning said.
“Mother…” Yunmo looked at He Ning, anxious and wanting to explain something.
He Ning interrupted him impatiently: "Alright! Hurry up and finish your food and go back to your yard! If you keep nagging, I'll make sure you don't even get to eat, you believe me?"
Yunmo: ...
-
Yunmo did leave after finishing his meal, but he didn't go back to his own courtyard; instead, he went to the Star Gazing Platform.
He didn't go up to the observatory; he just watched from a distance.
He saw his younger sister carefully observing the stars and taking notes.
She was wearing a simple blue robe, and her hair was casually pinned up on top of her head.
But it is precisely this simple outfit that makes it impossible to look away.
When she was observing and recording the stars, she seemed to radiate light.
At that moment, it seemed that the stars weren't just in the sky, but also in his sister.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He hadn't known anything about his sister before, so why did he speak so rudely to her?
He regretted it.

When Yun Chuwei came down from the observatory, it was already dawn.
Today, Huo Qingjue personally drove her there.
As she got into the car, she caught a glimpse of Yunmo standing not far away.
She raised her eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.
Huo Qingjue then spoke up: "I heard that Prince Yun stood here all night!"
Although he arrived at dawn, his men had been keeping watch there before he came, so he knew.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "He really is amazing!"
She works at the observatory at night, but she doesn't actually have to stare at the sky all night.
Just look at the stars at key moments.
The rest of the time, she slept in the room below the observatory.
This person can stand here all night, that's really impressive!
Huo Qingjue glanced at Yun Chuwei and said with some surprise, "You're unmoved?"
"Didn't I already praise him for being amazing?" Yun Chuwei said casually, then lifted the carriage curtain and entered the carriage.
Huo Qingjue raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Yun Mo, who was still standing not far away, with a sympathetic expression.
Although no one knew what had gotten into Yunmo, his posture clearly indicated that he wanted to beg for the young lady's forgiveness.
Unfortunately, this self-inflicted injury tactic was completely ineffective.
This young lady is clearly heartless and will not be soft-hearted at all.
Huo Qingjue thought for a moment, then continued, "There's something you might need to know!"
"Hmm?" Yun Chu leaned lazily against the car floor and casually responded.
Huo Qingjue's voice was like a thunderclap: "The person wearing the Yama mask has indeed been captured by Yue He!"
"What?" Yun Chuwei suddenly sat up straight.
After saying those two words, she realized she had overreacted.
She took a deep breath and slowly leaned back against the car floor: "What I mean is, could it be that Yue He really can save Yue Jingsheng?"
Huo Qingjue shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure! I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince went to see that person. He only said one thing: It's not this one!"
"After the Crown Prince left the prison, he immediately dispatched all his men to continue searching for that person. These actions infuriated Yue He!"
"Therefore, it cannot be confirmed whether the person Yue He captured is someone who can move freely within the palace. His Majesty needs to confirm this personally!"
Huo Qingjue told him everything she knew.
"Where is the person being held?" Yun Chuwei asked.
"Yue He was afraid that the man would escape, so he handed him over to the Dali Temple!"
If someone gets lost at the Dali Temple, Yue He can impeach His Highness Prince Xuan.
After listening to Huo Qingjue's words, Yun Chuwei pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Xie Xuan? Is there anything unusual about him?"
"Attending court as usual and handling official business as usual, there are no abnormalities!"
Yun Chuwei glanced at the horizon and said, "It's almost time for the court to end, isn't it?"
Huo Qingjue nodded: "Yes!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then let's go and escort Prince Xuan back from court!"
While you're at it, go check out the man wearing the Yama mask.
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Qingjue turned around and headed towards the palace gate.
