Something flashed through her mind so fast that Yun Xi didn't even manage to catch it when she heard Yun Weisheng, who had always been too blunt to understand roundabout words, say with a tinge of pity:
"Why is your wound even worse?"
"Liuyun, hurry up and help Xiaoying up."
Then he took out some wound medicine from his bosom and passed it to Liu Jingyue, who would apply it on Yun Qianying.
Although she didn't like Yun Qianying's calculating words earlier, Yun Qianying was after all a child that she had brought up herself. When she saw her teary-eyed and in pain, Liu Jingyue couldn't help but feel pity.
She sighed and took the medicine to apply it on Yun Qianying while instructing her:
"Since you know you are injured, why are you still running around everywhere? After applying the medicine, you have to rest at home properly and must not go out casually anymore."
"Yes, mother. Daughter understands."
No one blamed Yun Xi for not catching her, making her previous actions look like a joke.
Her envy and hatred grew thicker. Yun Qianying half-hung her head and obediently answered, hiding the strong hatred in her eyes.
Looking at the warm picture in front of her, another person flashed through Yun Xi's mind.
Back then, Liu Mengxian had said that the younger sister of Zhang Huan's maternal family, the daughter who had faked her death, had a blue birthmark in the shape of a bell on her right ankle.
And this birthmark on Yun Qianying's body was also in the shape of a bell and blue!
If one were to say that there were always people with similar birthmarks by coincidence in this world, it was impossible for the location, shape and color to be exactly the same and have a connection with Zhang Huan. This matter was definitely not a coincidence.
Yun Xi squinted her almond eyes slightly.
She remembered that when she had thought she was Zhang Rui's daughter and had read her mind, Zhang Rui had known where her daughter was. When Zhang Rui had gone to the Bai Lou back then, it was actually to see Yun Qianying!
So, did Yun Qianying know that she was actually the daughter of the Lou family?
If she didn't, it would be fine.
If she did, then Yun Qianying's appearance in front of Liu Jingyue and Yun Weisheng back then definitely wasn't an accident. And Yun Qianying had known her true identity for so many years but had never shown a single sign of knowing. This kind of scheming...
Yun Xi felt a chill in her heart:
How old was Yun Qianying back then? To have such a scheming mind, it was likely that there was something far more terrifying than what she had shown!
Taking two steps forward, Yun Xi raised her hand and pretended to caress Yun Qianying casually as she started to act like Yun Qianying:
"I've long heard that father and mother dote on their younger sister and would give her the stars but not the moon. It's true upon seeing it today."
The envy and disappointment in her eyes were clearly visible. Yun Xi deliberately sighed:
"Unlike me, I've never been doted on by the Ye family. I've been dreaming of finding my birth parents. I wonder if younger sister still remembers her birth parents. Are they as good to you as well?"
Yun Qianying's heart tightened. The fingers that grabbed her skirt unconsciously tightened:
[Why is she suddenly talking about this? Did she discover something from Zhang Huan?]
[Or did she discover that mother secretly came to see me?]
[No, it was only with great difficulty that I managed to escape from that family and climb up to the Yun family. I must never go back!]
"Is sister feeling that I'm in the way? Do you want to chase me away?"
Yun Qianying pitifully shrank back as her voice already carried a sob:
"But, but I won't fight for father and mother's love with sister. I'm just inconvenient now. Father and mother are just being loving. Please don't chase me away, sister. I'll be obedient. If you say go east, I'll never go west."
The tears said to fall and they fell. Yun Qianying's eyes were red:
"Please, sister. I've grown up in the Yun family since young and have always thought that I was father and mother's child. If, if the Yun family doesn't want me, I'll have nowhere to go... Wuu..."
She had already sobbed as she cried by the end. With her pear blossoms in the rain, she was truly pitiful.
It was a pity that the few people of the Yun family already felt that they owed Yun Xi a lot. After hearing the disappointment in Yun Xi's words, their hearts were already filled with guilt and they wished they could move all the good things in the world to compensate her. How could they still listen to Yun Qianying's baseless provoking words?
"Xiaoying, don't talk nonsense,"
Yun Qi was the first to voice his dissatisfaction:
"How could Xixi mean that? You've been overthinking things every day and it's easiest to cause misunderstandings."
"Your brother is right,"
Yun Weisheng nodded as well:
"Yingying only asked about things when you were young. But you actually think so much of her. It's rather disappointing."
Liu Jingyue simply hugged Yun Xi and told her not to think too much. Don't mind Yun Qianying and started to comfort her in a gentle voice.
Especially Shen Zhou. From beginning to end, his peripheral vision didn't look at Yun Qianying. He only stood beside Yun Xi and wanted to make Yun Xi happy so that she could forget those unhappy things.
Yun Qianying was truly wronged now. She couldn't stop crying.
[Bitch! Bitch! Why is everyone on her side and speaking up for her!]
[Wasn't it me who grew up with you guys? You fake and hypocritical people. I'll make you guys watch this bitch die with your own eyes! See if you guys will still stand on her side!]
Yun Xi sneered in her heart:
Sure, come on then. Let's see how much ability you have!
Yun Xi didn't plan to expose her mind-reading and appearance-questioning techniques to Yun Qianying. So she didn't expose her. She said some magnanimous words to comfort her and even coaxed Liu Jingyue and Yun Weisheng before sending everyone out.
"A Yuan,"
After sending everyone out, Yun Xi grabbed Yi Yuan's big palm and leaned on his shoulder. The smile on her face grew deeper:
"Send a message to the Lou family for me."
The next day -
The imperial edict had spread to all the important court officials' families early in the morning, inviting everyone to a banquet in the evening to welcome Yun Weisheng back.
Everyone had known that this would happen. So they had all prepared early. After receiving the imperial edict, they started to pack in an orderly manner.
It was the same in the palace.
The difference was in Yi Zhen's palace -
"You mean that Hun Yuan is looking for a way to solve what's on Yun Xi's body?"
Yi Zhen leaned forward slightly and asked with interest:
"What's on her body?"
The little eunuch looked a little embarrassed and said hesitantly:
"This... I still don't know for now. However, this servant guesses that it's probably an extremely rare and difficult to solve poison."
"Because when this servant sneaked in to take a look, all that was on Lian Yi's hands and beside her were things like poison and medicine."
"It's likely that Yun Xi was poisoned by someone without knowing when. It was only after she fell into the water in the mountain villa of the Liu family that they found out. That's why they panicked and were looking for a solution day and night."
"Heheh heh heh..."
Yi Zhen covered her lips and let out a charming laugh. Her eyes and brows were filled with joy:
"I didn't expect there to be so many people who want her life."
"Then it's possible... we don't need to do anything."
Yi Zhen lazily leaned back. Her appearance was charming and her smile was radiant:
"Give the order. Pause all the previous preparations. Let her be at ease for a while. However, if Yun Qianying needs any help, we should still help."
"And..."
Yi Zhen wiped her nails. Her voice was cold:
"Go and check who kidnapped Yun Xi previously. She didn't have this poison before or after. It was only after she was kidnapped by him that she had it. This person... must be useful to us."
