, wonderful and free of pop-ups! "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yunying. I am the fourth eldest child in my family. My father, your grandfather, is the former marshal of the empire, the Protector Yun Dingcheng. You are the child of my eldest brother Yun Yi. Your mother is Sang Shui. After Na was killed in battle, she was posthumously named Lady of Rongcheng and enjoyed the title of Viscount, which was hereditary."
"Oh." Yun Tai was really surprised. She didn't expect that her mother would be knighted after her death, and it was hereditary! You must know that in this continent, there are indeed as many nobles as dogs, but in order to avoid the appearance of dandy children who sleep on the merits of their predecessors, very few give the gift of hereditary substitution while giving titles. If it were not hereditary, it would not be impossible to obtain the title of one's father, but the conditions would be much more stringent. The title of the children who inherit the title cannot be lower than one major rank. In other words, if you want to inherit the title of first-grade marquis, the heir must be a third-grade earl, otherwise he will not be qualified to inherit. This is why big families like to send their children to the army to be gilded, because it is the fastest way to get promoted.
Seeing Yun Tai's cold response, thinking that Yun Tai misunderstood that her eldest brother had abandoned her, Shadow Mouse quickly defended: "It's not that eldest brother doesn't want you, he doesn't even know you exist. After your mother was killed in battle twelve years ago, eldest brother once I sent someone to look for your grandparents, but they moved away, and even the Shui family didn't know where they were. So..."
In other words, no one expected that someone would be so bold as to push down the prince-in-law, and even more unexpectedly, he would succeed! Therefore, no one would have thought that Sang Shuina had given birth to a daughter. Naturally, no one would seriously investigate an old couple.
Yun Tai waved her hand and asked, "Is he married?"
"You don't know?" Shadow Rat was surprised.
"Should I know?" It's not that Yuntai doesn't like gossip, it depends on the environment. To spread gossip in a remote town like Colorado is a trivial matter. Of course, Yun Tai still knows the name of the current head of a country. She has it in the Enlightenment School. As for other royal relatives, she has not studied it carefully.
"...she is the eldest princess of the empire. They grew up together and have a very good relationship. Although the dead are respected, I have to say that your mother caused them a lot of trouble back then." Yun Tai jumped into the topic, This gave Shadow Mouse some bad premonitions. According to conventional thinking, it is always not a good feeling for a child to know that his father is married to another woman. He didn't want Yun Tai to be prejudiced against his sister-in-law, whom he had never met.
"How strong is your eldest brother?" Yun Tai asked curiously.
"He is the youngest Dou Huang warrior." Shadow Mouse replied proudly, and then emphasized: "He is also your father."
"What about back then?"
"..." Shadow Mouse immediately understood Yun Tai's subtext. Even with his eldest brother's strength, Sang Shuina, a junior light magician, couldn't get close to him.
"Are you sure that my biological father is your eldest brother?" Yun Tai couldn't help but confirm. The cloud-shaped birthmark on the inside of her wrist can only mean that she is from the Yun family. With so many disciples in the Yun family, how can we be sure that her biological father is Yun Yi? Yun Tai didn't know much about the bloodline identification methods in this world.
"After seeing that birthmark, do you think I won't do an investigation?" Shadow Mouse asked.
Also, the larger the family, the more particular it seems to be about bloodlines. But Yun Yi is so easy to push down, is his relationship with that princess wife really good? Seeing how Shadow Mouse defended his eldest brother and sister-in-law, it was naturally impossible for Yun Tai to ask this hurtful gossip. Yes, gossip, in Yun Tai's mind, their relationship as husband and wife has nothing to do with her. It's enough to just talk about it, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't know.
Yun Tai asked another question that concerned her: "Besides me, does he have other children?"
Shadow Mouse answered cautiously again: "You have two brothers. But..."
Yun Tai still didn't let him finish what he wanted to say: "That's right." She said, why is the emperor so generous? The princess gave birth to two sons. The eldest son must inherit his father's title. What about the second son? It happened that Sang Shuina's incident happened, and the emperor took the opportunity to reward her. If there were no Yun Tai, Sang Shuina's title would be inherited by her half-brother. In doing so, he not only helped his nephew to obtain his aristocratic status, but also gained a good reputation. It really killed two birds with one stone.
"What?" Shadow Mouse couldn't keep up with Yun Tai's train of thought.
"My father has a wife, children, and a happy family. My grandparents only have one daughter, my mother. After she left, I was their only support and sustenance. Only fools would stay there and wait for you to find me. , and then snatch me away." Yun Tai fully understood her grandparents' original mood.
Shadow Mouse retorted: "Don't you think your grandparents are too selfish? You are a child of the Yun family, and your father has the right to know your existence. If you grow up in the Yun family, you will receive a better education. There are better conditions..."
"We must also bear corresponding responsibilities." Yun Tai retorted coldly, showing no interest in the better educational environment described by Shadow Mouse.
"At least being hunted down by the Illuminati Cult, branded as a heretic, and turned into a useless person will never happen." Shadow Mouse couldn't say anything about Yun Tai, so he could only complain. At this time, he completely forgot that the little niece in front of him was only twelve years old.
"At least I don't have to marry a stranger for the benefit of the family, and then spend the rest of my life looking glamorous on the outside but miserable on the inside." The sequelae of watching too much in her previous life are revealed, look at how smoothly she connects.
"That's nonsense. The Yun family is not so poor that it needs women to become strong." Shadow Mouse felt humiliated by Yun Tai's words.
"When did I say that the Yun family will rely on women to prosper? I was just stating a very high probability. Why are you so angry?" Yun Tai guessed that Shadow Rat must have misunderstood something.
"The probability is very high? In your eyes, is it so unfortunate to be a girl from the Yun family?" Shadow Mouse became angry.
"Some people say that you stand at different heights and see different scenery. The beggar on the roadside is thinking about the gain and loss of a meal; the head of the family is thinking about the food and clothing of the whole family; you are thinking about the interests of the family; the Holy Spirit is concerned about It is the well-being of tens of millions of people under his rule. Not only women from the Yun family, but women from all big families cannot marry casually. They have to choose someone who is well-matched. Even if there is no benefit, at least they cannot let the family Isn't it embarrassing? Not to mention my mother. Since I have two half-brothers instead of younger brothers, it means that my mother is the third party who destroys the family and is an unwelcome existence." Yun Tai asked for confirmation. His eyes looked at Shadow Mouse.
This time Shadow Mouse chose to acquiesce. He didn't expect Yun Tai to be so sharp.
"If I marry into another well-matched family with the aura of the Yun family, you can't deny that my mother's life will probably make it difficult for me to move in that family. But without the halo of the Yun family, my choices will be wide. Many. More people will marry me because of who I am. Ordinary people enjoy ordinary happiness and live their lives without worries. Don’t you think so too? That’s why you hide my affairs. "
"...I'm not that noble." Shadow Rat replied bitterly. As Yun Tai said before, his first consideration was his family. Sang Shuina's crazy pursuit of Yun Yi caused great trouble to her eldest brother and sister-in-law. Shadow Mouse secretly does not hope that the appearance of Yun Tai will cause any more troubles in the eldest brother's family, not to mention that she has become a "waste" with her mental power sealed. No matter how poor her talent is, she can find elixirs to improve it. , but the mental power is sealed... He has not heard of any solution so far. In a big family, it would be very hard for a person with both magic and martial arts to survive. He couldn't see the value of the family cultivating Yun Tai. Instead of doing this, it would be better for her to live peacefully like an ordinary person.
"What does this have to do with it? We have reached the same destination through different paths. You did what I asked for. In my opinion, this is enough. Status is precious, and love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."
In fact, Yun Tai gave her grandparents 120 likes for their actions back then! Did you not see enough house fights and palace fights in your last life? Although whether it is on the Internet or in movies and TV, the time-traveling girl has always been invincible. But in Yuntai's view, there is no entertainment, and women who are confined to a hospital, how can they live without fighting? Playing a house fight with these battle-experienced female heroes, I am afraid that you are not even qualified to fight with them, but only to be played with. Unlike now, although she has experienced so many things, her mental power has been sealed, and she cannot use magic. In the eyes of others, it may be a big deal, but in the eyes of Yun Tai, it is really nothing. Magic is easy to use, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Didn't she know no magic at all in her previous life for more than 20 years and didn't know how to exercise her mental power? Isn’t that how we live, and in that world, isn’t everyone the same? Now she is just back to square one, back to the way of life she is most familiar with. She had a loving family, no worries about food and drink, and even her great ideal, the life goal of opening a hospital in this world, was all realized with the help of the Shui family when she was ten years old. What else is she dissatisfied with? Yun Tai was extremely satisfied, okay? She had no intention of changing at all.
Seeing Yun Tai's relaxed expression, which could even be called high spirits at the end, Shadow Mouse's expression became even more bitter. If nothing happened, of course it would be hello, hello, hello, hello to everyone, but now, he could no longer imagine what he would face when he went back, and he would definitely not be able to escape from Kneeling Ancestral Temple.
"Are you okay?" Yun Tai finally realized that something was wrong with Shadow Mouse's expression.
"It's okay. But I definitely can't hide your matter this time." The credit for conquering Pange City is too great. Not to mention the emperor, it would be an exaggeration to say that everyone's eyes in the entire continent are now focused here. The old man hasn't contacted him yet, probably just waiting for him to go back and surrender on his own initiative. Shadowmouse thought of ways to mitigate his crime. At the beginning, he didn't worry about this or that, and reported it directly, letting the old man and eldest brother decide on their own, so nothing happened! It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
"You mean your father will force me to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan?" Yun Tai frowned.
"He is your grandfather." Shadow Mouse expressed dissatisfaction with Yun Tai's title.
"Can't you pretend that you don't know that this is not the case?" When Yun Tai asked, she didn't have much hope.
Sure enough, Shadow Mouse gave her a dreaming look.
In this case, there is no point in saying more.
"Hide my affairs, will you be punished when you go back this time?" Yun Tai asked sympathetically.
"I deserve it." Shadow Mouse didn't mean to shirk responsibility. "From a military discipline perspective, failure to report knowledge should be punished. From a family perspective, how should you handle your affairs? Even if the person who makes the decision is not The father should also be the eldest brother. I have no right to make this decision."
"Even if this decision is correct and good for everyone?" Yun Tai was a little curious. In her impression, Shadow Mouse didn't seem to be such a rigid person.
"Even so." Shadow Mouse nodded.
Something seems wrong? Shadow Mouse gave Yun Tai the feeling that it suddenly changed. How should I put it? Much more honest. She glanced suspiciously at Shadow Mouse's face. At this time, the flashing light on the mobile phone on Shadow Mouse's bedside attracted Yun Tai's attention. It seems that Shadow Mouse's transformation was most likely caused by the weirdness of his cell phone.
Shadow Mouse also noticed that Yun Tai noticed something strange about his cell phone, and the muscles on his face stiffened.
"Actually, you can tell them what I just said. I think even if it can't completely reduce your punishment, it can at least have some effect." Yun Tai suggested. In Yun Tai's view, Shadow Rat has really helped her a lot since they met. If nothing else, at least he helped her hide it for two years, which is equivalent to giving her two years of freedom. As for what will happen in the future, then We can only take one step at a time. In the Yun family, the only person she had contact with was Shadow Mouse.
After hearing this, Shadow Mouse was moved. His niece was so caring that he was worthy of helping her hide it.
"I will stay by your side for the next two days to observe and make sure that your health is extremely high when you return. I will ensure that when you are punished, you will not fall down due to the so-called injuries." Yun Tai said with a serious face.
The little angel in Shadow Mouse's eyes instantly darkened into a little devil with horns on his head and a steel fork, which stabbed his heart viciously.
