"Only if you are really dead can he belong to me alone, and no one else will know about it."
"This face is so useful! With just a few words, I fooled that fool into thinking that I was an orphan who had been bullied, and attacked the dynasty's ministers mercilessly. How good!"
The woman looked up to the palace and laughed arrogantly. She was draped casually like a red palace robe on her body. She could vaguely see the snow-white skin under the layers, the vermilion nails, and the high bun. The woman has a bit more domineering charm.
"My son! Why are you so cruel!" Mrs. Yun cried so hard that she was out of breath and almost fainted. She leaned weakly on the shoulder of her personal maid Hongyue.
"Sister! My sister!" Yun Zhujin was wearing a plain white dress and a small bun with only two white stamens on it.
"Alas! What an injustice!" The family sobbed softly in the mourning hall. The children followed their elders quietly, their young eyes full of ignorance.
The old couple in Linbo Garden sat on huanghuali wooden chairs with gloomy faces, looking at all this aimlessly. They noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the corner of the courtyard, as if to further confirm whether this fact was really what he wanted.
Next to Mrs. Lin stood a woman with a palm-sized dark red birthmark on her face. A strand of hair on the side of her cheek obscured her appearance. She lowered her head deeply and remained motionless.
"Who is that person? Why haven't I seen him?"
"She is a distant relative of Mrs. Lin, the daughter of her cousin's sister-in-law's brother's son."
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"Ying Er went to Mrs. Lin's ancestral home to investigate, and found that there was indeed such a relative. Because of her ugly appearance, no one wanted to marry her, so she was sent to work for Mrs. Lin."
"Just investigate it!" The man was dressed in black, with a black mask tightly clasped behind his head, and his eyes could be vaguely seen like snakes and scorpions.
"Keep an eye on her, she must die, there can't be any accidents. You don't want to make the master unhappy, right?"
"Yes, I understand."
The funeral took place for three days, and many people came to express their condolences. Most of them were close friends with the Lin family and the Yun family, and most of the others wanted to gain some benefits. But there are still many people who don't even show up. Mo Yue saw the attitude of the person involved in the Lin family incident, so he just sent his housekeeper to give him a small gift as a token of his gratitude.
"People's hearts are unpredictable! After all, we thought too well."
"Grandpa, don't be sad. We should take this opportunity to think about our family. This man doesn't seem to be a kind person. It might be good for us all to step down as soon as possible."
"As I get older, I still can't see clearly some things. I thought we had done so much for him, so why should we have a little affection for him? This is what happened in the end." Lin Boyuan looked up, where the late emperor was lying. The plaque given to him said that he was a teacher of great virtue and wisdom, and a loyal man to the late emperor.
After a while, some tears came to Lin Boyuan's eyes. Those years were still those years after all, and they couldn't be compared with now. Things and people have changed. People are no longer what they were then.
"Xiao Jiu, I feel sorry for you to behave like this." Mrs. Lin took Yun Jiuxi's hand and held it tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Grandma, in front of outsiders, I am just a maid, but I will always be your granddaughter."
"Why!"
"My parents also asked my grandmother to persuade them not to cause trouble, to be patient and avoid the sharp edges."
"I know."
Yun Jiuxi has been very busy during this period. She took over the special secret guards of the Lin family from Lin Expo, spent some time running the business in Jiangnan, and has accumulated a lot of gold and silver. She even plans to secretly train her own guard team. Used to face future troubles.
“Hopefully there will be a day when it is not used!”
The Lin family of the Yun family in the capital, under the persuasion and warning of Lin Boyuan, secretly sold some of the family's properties. Mr. Yun also retired and returned to his hometown, resigning as prime minister. No matter how the current Emperor Xuan Lin tried to persuade him to stay, Mr. Yun always said that the old man lacked experience and should refuse the younger generation some opportunities.
Emperor Xuan Lin had not been in charge of the government for a long time. The chaos of the dynasty change had just ended three years ago. There were still many things that he was not involved in and could not take into account. The Yunlin family sent some of their juniors to Jiangnan and Jinlin under the guise of caravans.
In the court, the struggle for power was unknowingly lacking. Emperor Xuan Lin thought it was the impact of Mr. Yun's resignation. The Yun family did not have strong upper-level officials, so he became timid. Of course he was very happy and wished that all the children of the old minister could be so obedient and well-behaved.
"Why is Your Majesty so happy?"
"It's natural to be a little excited to solve a big problem."
"Oh? What is it? Can I, my concubine, know?"
"Yun'er, you are my most beloved, and I am willing to share anything with you. That old guy from the Yun family finally left the court, and I no longer have to see his old face. I don't have to make decisions again and again. After receiving his rebuttal, I felt a lot better."
"But if Prime Minister Yun leaves, who will replace him?"
"Of course he is Yun'er's adoptive father, Uncle Wang. I think Mr. Wang is more suitable!"
"My foster father will devote himself to His Majesty and die!" Concubine Yun Guifei rolled her eyes and touched Emperor Xuan Lin's arm with her thin fingertips. Emperor Xuan Lin was so excited that he pinned Concubine Yun under his body.
"Young master, everything has been investigated."
"Well, let's go down!" Yun Jiuxi looked at the information.
A year ago, Emperor Xuan Lin went to Jiangnan for a private visit. It was at this time that Concubine Yun was brought to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River by Emperor Xuan Lin. After entering the palace, she was directly canonized as a concubine. The queen was so overwhelmed that she couldn't lift her head, and she favored the Sixth Palace with her beautiful appearance. Emperor Xuan Lin thought that Concubine Yun Gui was alone, so he decided to let Concubine Yun Gui recognize her younger brother Wang Fucai as her adoptive father, and later named Wang Fucai as her uncle.
"What a lonely person, Concubine Yun, isn't she just like that small system, a visitor from another world?"
"But this gives me an opportunity to take advantage of. Since she likes the luck of the dynasty, wouldn't it suit my wishes? Emperor Xuan Lin is not clear-headed and wants me to die with my eyes open. I cannot let go of this hatred easily."
"Being able to defeat him at what he is most proud of would be extremely satisfying."
Yun Jiuxi showed the things to Lin Boyuan, and Lin Boyuan was so angry that he almost broke the set of porcelain cups.
"Okay! I saved the wrong one, but what's the use of those eyes? I don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Being able to sit in that position is just luck. If it weren't for the late emperor... that's all, saying this and doing this What."
"How dare an orphan girl pretend to be someone else? This matter is not that simple."
(You are overthinking it, it’s that simple. Please don’t over-interpret it!) Yun Jiuxi quietly moved out of the study with the birthmark on her head. She didn’t want to receive that deep “care”.
