Chapter 119: Chapter 117 Yun Ying’s Strategy (1)

"Dad, Mom, are you just going to watch her scam people at such a young age?" Du Bing turned her head and coldly asked the old couple.

This time, it was the old lady who spoke first, "Du Bing, Qi is not scamming people. She truly has abilities."

"Ha! She has abilities, this little girl raised at Yuqing Temple for a few years, and you’re saying she has abilities. Does that mean our Yun Ying doesn’t have any abilities? Mom, I thought at least you’d be fair. It’s my fault for being naïve, for overthinking. From now on, don’t trouble yourself with Yun Ying’s matters."

As Du Bing spoke, she stood up, pulling Yun Ying along to walk upstairs.

The Old Master had a face like iron, lifted his eyes to glance at her and suddenly said, "Since it’s so unpleasant, don’t bother coming down for dinner. Eat in your room."

After speaking, he supported himself with a cane and walked towards the dining room.

Du Bing’s body stiffened in shock, turning back incredulously to look at the Old Master.

She had thought that for Yun Qiucheng’s sake, the old couple would ask her to stay and say a few kind words.

Unexpectedly, right in front of the children, they showed no regard at all.

This made her even more furious, as she pulled Yun Ying upstairs in a hurry, slamming the bedroom door so hard that it could be felt downstairs.

Yun Kuang stood up, looking troubled, "Grandpa, Grandma, should I go try to talk to Mom?"

The old lady sighed, "Your mom’s temper... Sigh, trying to talk some sense into her now is like asking for trouble."

Yun Kuang was at a loss and could only walk up to Yun Qi, feeling very sad inside, "Qi, what you said earlier, is it true? Does Mom really have... signs of a beheading?"

"Yes, this time she’s accompanying Uncle on a business trip to an island, right?"

"Huh? How could you tell?"

"Her luck has been bad lately, and ominous signs are very evident. Plus, the place she was living violated major feng shui taboos, worsening the bad omen. The veins on her nose should be congenital but weren’t noticeable before, otherwise, she wouldn’t have lived until now. It was already in a bulging state just now, indicating she’ll soon have serious health problems."

Yun Qi’s little face was stern, with burning eyes, speaking each word clearly and powerfully.

Such a degree of physiognomy, combined with the dark red between her brows, was already a sign to prepare for the worst.

It’s a pity Aunt doesn’t trust me.

People of the Xuan Sect, regardless of their branch, all follow the Heavenly Dao, advocating virtues of kindness and cherishing life.

Even though Aunt doesn’t like me, as long as she hasn’t done anything wrong and her hands aren’t bloodstained, I have a duty to save her life.

Of course, I will do my best. If Aunt insists on not listening, it means this calamity is part of her fate.

Yun Kuang frowned deeply, his brows forming a "川" character, which clashed with his handsome young face.

"Is there a way to resolve it?"

Yun Qi thought for a moment, then seriously said, "Even if there’s a way to resolve it, do you think Aunt would believe Mom?"

Yun Kuang, feeling frustrated, clutched his head with a long sigh.

During dinner, Du Bing ate upstairs with her daughter, looking at the sumptuous meal brought by the servants and angrily tossed her chopsticks down.

"I didn’t expect the Old Master to be so muddle-headed, making me lose face like this for a little girl full of lies."

Yun Ying quietly picked at the food, mechanically bringing it to her mouth, tasting nothing.

"Yun Ying, what’s wrong?" Du Bing asked with concern, afraid the earlier incident had hurt her daughter’s fragile heart.

"Ah, nothing." Yun Ying lifted her head, barely smiling at her mom, then lowered it again, biting her chopsticks with complex emotions in her eyes.

Although she disliked Yun Qi, she had to admit there was some truth to her abilities.

And what she said in the living room earlier... if it’s true, no, it’s highly likely to be true.

Which would mean Mom is indeed in danger, a sign of beheading!

Even just thinking about those four words terrified her.

But given the current situation, Mom definitely wouldn’t believe Yun Qi’s words.

And she had to stand on the same side as Mom.

This left her in a dilemma.

To believe or not to believe, that is the question.

Biting her cherry lips, her eyes turned, and she came up with an idea, placing her chopsticks down on the plate, "Mom, I need to go out for a bit."

"Going out? Everyone outside believes Yun Qi, so you’d just be bullied!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Ying had already opened the door and gone out.

Yun Zhao barely ate anything for dinner and went back to his room to prepare research materials.

Yun Ying stood hesitatingly outside her second brother’s door.

She knew that because of that incident when they were children, her second brother had never liked her.

But... thinking about it made her feel wronged. She was young and a bit vain, which was normal. They were siblings, what couldn’t be forgiven? Why hold a grudge till now?

If it weren’t for the fact that her eldest brother was still angry with her, she wouldn’t have come to knock on her second brother’s door.

With complaints in her heart, she eventually knocked on Yun Zhao’s door.

"Come in." Inside, a voice slightly weary and lazy that matched his appearance, luxurious and opulent.

Yun Ying pushed the door open and went in. Yun Zhao, seeing it was her, indifferently withdrew his gaze, his long white fingers fiddling with the files in hand, lowering his eyes. The neat eyelashes were distinctly illuminated under the light.

"Do you need something?" Yun Zhao’s tone carried no emotion.

"Second brother, I..."

Because the siblings had a regular relationship, Yun Zhao rarely took the initiative to speak to Yun Ying. Previously, Yun Ying felt she had plenty of family who adored her, so one less second brother didn’t matter.

Therefore, she almost never called him brother.

Yun Zhao scoffed lightly, a cold and thin smile tugging at his lips, his jawline beautifully curved, like a cold flower blooming on an ice field.

"That’s rare, calling me brother, what’s the favor you want?"

Yun Ying bit her lip, looking at her second brother, receiving a cold and mocking gaze in return, she took a deep breath, her expression solemn and sincere, "I’m here to apologize to you, for what happened when we were kids. I was young, vain, and left a psychological shadow on you. Every time I think of it over the years, I feel guilty, but pride held me back from apologizing face to face."

Yun Zhao impatiently furrowed his brows, "That’s it?"

He didn’t believe his sister genuinely came to apologize.

"Considering we’re siblings, I hope you’ll forgive me." Yun Ying stared at Yun Zhao, with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, "I heard you didn’t like Yun Qi when you first came back, but now you get along with her. So, what can’t we, as siblings, move past?"

After speaking, she looked at Yun Zhao expectantly, hoping her words would resonate with him.

However, Yun Zhao merely raised his eyelids indifferently, his slender fingers deftly twirling a pen, imbued with a silent mockery. "If that’s it, you can leave now."

"Second brother!" Yun Ying stomped her foot in anger, but seeing Yun Zhao’s indifferent attitude, she knew she couldn’t persuade him for now, so she softened her tone, "Fine, I won’t beat around the bush. About what happened today, Yun Qi’s words earlier, what do you think?"
