Chapter 58

  Yun Piao Yue stood at the gate of Yun Lao Wang Ye's courtyard, her face filled with unspoken sorrow and anger. Was she too weak when she came here? Did people take advantage of her because they thought they could bully her? Shouldn't she toughen up and show the same courage and demeanor as she had in the 21st century? Make everyone stop underestimating and bullying her?

  But then is she another Li Yun, or is it still Yun Shang Yue?

  She is now Yun Qianyue, Yun Qianyue is infatuated with a man, Yun Qianyue is weak and bullied by the concubine-born daughters of the Yun Wangfu who can't even get on stage. Yun Qianyue doesn't recognize a single character, let alone manage accounts or run a household? If she suddenly becomes omniscient, transforming from an idiot to a genius, what would be the consequences?

  She has made up her mind to be a foodie and lazy for the rest of her life, wanting to be a rice worm raised by others, wanting not to show off or make a name for herself, no longer selflessly dedicating her passion and talent to the country. What can she do?

  Endure it!

  Yun puffed out a breath, but these oppressive days really had no flavor!

  "If you really don't want to go, I'll tell Grandfather to bring you along. You can accompany Princess Qingyuan on one side and learn to read with me on the other. How about that?" Yun Wuhan walked out and asked Yun Shangyue.

  "No need!" Yun Piao Yue turned her head and glanced at him, then strode towards the Shallow Moon Pavilion.

  Yun Muhan watched as Yun Qianyue's figure quickly disappeared from view, and she couldn't help but smile wryly to herself. She probably still resented him for grabbing her and making Ling Yin Dashi divine the matter. Turning back to look at Old Master Wang's house, he hadn't come out yet. He lifted his feet and headed towards his own courtyard.

  In the house of Yun Lao Wang, after Yun Shangyue and Yun Muhanchen had gone far away, he said in a low voice: "Shallow Moon is still an unmarried girl, let her stay with Jing Shizi every day, it will also cause rumors. This may not be appropriate. According to the child's opinion, it's better to wait until Haner accompanies the princess for a while and then teaches her later."

  "What's wrong? I don't see anything wrong. You don't need to worry about this matter, just take care of your own affairs." Old Master Wang waved his hand.

  Yun Wangye wanted to say something else, but seeing Yun Lao Wangye's expression of not wanting to listen to him, he could only swallow his words and retreat with a bow.

  Three people left one after another. Yun Lao Wangye looked at the table that was messed up and scolded, "You stinky girl! If I couldn't even control you, then I'd be useless as your grandfather!"

  Yun Wangye left Yun Lao Wangye's courtyard, always feeling that it was not suitable for Yun Shangyue and Rong Jing to study together. The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, even if this Tian Sheng folk custom is open-minded, but I'm afraid there will still be rumors. Don't know what Lao Wangye thinks. It's really getting old and muddled. Is he still thinking of Shangyue marrying Jing Shizi? How could the Emperor possibly allow it?

  "Father King!" Just as Wang Ye was deep in thought, a soft cry came from in front of him.

  Yun Wangye looked up and saw Yun Xianghe being supported by a maid as she walked towards him, her hand still wrapped in white cloth. He collected his thoughts and asked aloud, "You weren't recovering from your injuries in the courtyard, how did you end up coming out now?"

  "My daughter heard that her sister had an accident at Lingtai Temple and was very worried. After all, she is my sister, and I didn't do a good job as a sister in the past, but now I've come to realize many things. We share the same blood, and even if our bones are broken, they're still connected by tendons! So I came out, originally wanting to ask Father about it, but heard that he was at Grandfather's place, so I rushed over." Yunxianghe said in a low voice, her tone very sincere.

  "Ah, as long as you understand. You sisters will get along well in the future. This time she suffered a great calamity, but fortunately nothing happened, and it can be said that she is a lucky person. Now that she has returned to her own courtyard, go take a look at her!" Cloud Wangye nodded with relief. No matter what, Yunxianghe was someone he had watched grow up, and he felt that her behavior was not bad, so he pushed all the responsibility onto Feng Ce Fei, who had been demoted to a concubine. It was she who taught poorly.

  "Yes, daughter go take a look at your sister." Yunxiang He nodded obediently and lowered her head.

  "Alright, go!" The Cloud King waved his hand and walked towards the study room.

  As soon as Yun Wangye left, Yun Xianghe raised her head, and a pair of beautiful eyes showed a vicious color. She had heard that Yun Shuangyue's martial arts were completely lost, and she was still called harmless? She was an illiterate woman who didn't know anything, and the only thing she could do was martial arts. Now that she has lost her martial arts, what else can she have? She sneered and walked towards Shuangyue Pavilion.

  Yun Shallow Moon returned to the Shallow Moon Pavilion, only to see Cai Lian, Ting Xue and Ting Yu all back.

  Madam Zhao's eyes were brimming with tears as she welcomed Shallow Moon back, giving her a thorough once-over to make sure she was unharmed. Only when she saw that Shallow Moon was fine did she breathe a sigh of relief and advise her: "I heard that Miss has lost her martial arts skills, but it's not the end of the world. No matter how good one's martial arts are, they're useless if you don't have your life. The fact that Miss is back safely is what matters most. If Miss wants to practice martial arts again in the future, she can do so slowly and carefully - just don't be too hard on herself."

  "Ah!" Yun Shangyue smiled and nodded. Seeing the genuine concern on the faces of Zhao Mama and the servants in front of her, she felt warmth in her heart. The gloominess dissipated by more than half. She took a step forward, walking inside.

  The Shallow Moon Pavilion was still as tidy as when she left, with everything in its place, the windows sparkling clean, and the orchids in the courtyard emitting a sweet fragrance.

  Yun Shallow Moon was surrounded by people and entered the house.

  "These days, the young lady is not in the mansion, and everything in the mansion is peaceful. Nothing big has happened. It's just that Third Lady and Fifth Lady came to ask about the account book, and I said the young lady took it away to study. Although Third Lady and Fifth Lady looked unhappy, they didn't make things difficult for me." Zhao Mama said with a smile.

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue nodded. As soon as she picked up the account book, she got a headache.

  "Miss, I see you don't look well, is something wrong?" Cai Lian asked Yun Shangyue.

  "It's nothing! Tomorrow I have to go to Rong Wang Fu to ask for Yong Jing to teach me how to write, but I don't want to go." Yun Shangyue said.

  "Miss, this is a good thing! Jing Shizi's talent is unparalleled in the world, who doesn't know? He is more talented than our young master, you are lucky to be able to learn from him, why don't you want to go?" Zhao Mama hurriedly persuaded, "I'm afraid no one in the capital has Miss's good fortune!"

  "Yes, miss, you can see Jing Shizi again!" Cai Lian was delighted when she heard this.

  "Jing Shizi will definitely teach Miss better than our young master." You Xue also said immediately.

  "Yes, miss, you must go. Who knows, maybe in a few days you'll be able to manage the household!" Linyu also chimed in.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon has no words, she really doesn't understand what kind of soul-searching soup Rong Jing has given to everyone in this world? Let everyone treat him as a master. She also sincerely admires his ability. She waved her hand and said irritably: "I just said I don't want to go, not that I won't go. No need to say anything."

  The four of them all showed joyful expressions. Thinking that if Miss is with Jing Shizi, she won't be far from being the mistress of the house.

  After getting over this annoying thing, Cai Lian, Ting Xue and Ting Yu started chattering around Zhao Mama about the Xiāng Quán Shān Qí Fú Jié (Fragrant Spring Mountain Blessing Festival), even trivial matters could be made to sound interesting from their mouths, and the little maids serving in the courtyard also squeezed over to listen, making the room extremely lively.

  Yun Shallow Moon sat in the chair, smiling as she watched them, thinking that life was actually still very good. At least in her previous life, she didn't have this kind of time to sit and listen to others' chatter and gossip with pleasure.

  A group of people were chatting excitedly when Yunxiang He and her maid walked into the courtyard.

  "Miss, it's Big Miss!" Cai Lian was facing the door and immediately saw Yun Xianghe walking in.

  Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked towards the door.

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyue glanced outside, although she didn't have any martial arts skills, her sharp senses from her past life still allowed her to hear sounds within fifty steps. She heard the sound of Yun Xianghe and her maid walking to the courtyard gate. She furrowed her brow and asked Zhao Mama: "Isn't she being kept in the yard to recover from her injuries?"

  "She's been recuperating, and I haven't seen the young mistress come out in these days. She probably just came out today." Zhao Mama asked in a low voice: "Miss, if you don't want to see me, just say you won't see anyone."

  "It's all right, let her in! I'll see what she wants." Yun Qian Yue shook his head.

  Zhao's mother and several others fell silent.

  "Sister is back from Lingtai Temple, barely alive. Sister has come to see her." Yún Xiāng Hé walked in with a smile on her face, "I heard that this time sister's martial arts skills are completely gone. Sister loves dancing with knives and sticks so much, now that she's lost her martial arts skills, from now on it will be all fancy moves without any real substance. What a pity!"

  Emotions are here to make fun of her! Yun Shang Yue coldly laughed.

  "You can't even recognize a few big characters, you can't play the piano, chess, books or paintings, and you don't understand needlework. Now that your only skilled martial art is gone, you're really useless. I think..." Yún Xiāng Hé stepped across the threshold with one foot, laughing as she spoke.

  "Get her out of here with a stick!" Yun Shangyue thought this woman was something new, but it turned out she was just mocking her? Old Master Wang bullying her was one thing, after all he was her grandfather. Rong Jing bullying her was also understandable, who could compare to his cunning and ruthlessness? Yun Mocheng bullying her was also acceptable, after all he was her own brother. But what right did the little Cloud Xianghe have to bully her? Did she really think she was easy to mess with?

  "Miss..." Cai Lian and others all looked at Yun Shallow Moon.

  "I said get this woman out of here with a stick, didn't you hear?" Yun Shangyue said with a heavier tone.

  "Yes, miss!" replied Cai Lian, Ting Xue and Ting Yu in unison.

  Three people, one with a broom, one with a feather duster and one with a fan, rushed towards Yunxianghe. The three took the lead, and the maidservants in the courtyard immediately found their own tools and swarmed up.

  "Yun Qianyue, you dare! I was sent by His Majesty the King to see you!" Yun Xianghe shouted loudly.

  Everyone stopped immediately upon hearing this.

  "Hit!" Yun Shangyue spat out a word. Even if Yun Wangye was in front of her, this woman dared to mock her like this, she would still hit without hesitation.

  Cai Lian and others no longer hesitated, and the things in their hands all beckoned to Yunxianghe. At first, they were still gentle, but later the things hit Yunxianghe's body, and Yunxianghe loudly scolded "You dare to hit me, you lowly hoof!" The words made everyone quickly remember that this young lady had often bullied people in Shanyue Pavilion with her haughty attitude. At that time, all the old hatred surged up, and they no longer held back their hands.

  In no time, Yunxianghe couldn't hold on anymore and was supported by the maid as she stumbled out of Shallow Moon Pavilion.

  Everyone saw the person being beaten away, and for a moment they felt relieved and satisfied, carrying their things back with them.

  "Not bad!" Yun Shangyue smiled as she looked at the crowd, "From now on, we'll handle things like this. The people of Shangyue Pavilion must stick together and not let others bully us."

  "Yes, miss!" Everyone nodded.

  "But I won't offend you if you don't offend me. And you shouldn't take advantage of my tolerance to bully others recklessly. Guard your own territory well. As long as you are a person of Shallow Moon Pavilion, I will always support you and won't let you suffer losses." Yun Shangyue said again.

  "Yes, miss!" The crowd bowed their heads again.

  "Alright, those who didn't say enough can continue speaking, and those who haven't heard enough can keep listening." Yun Shangyue smiled and waved her hand.

  The Shallow Moon Pavilion was bustling again. The sound of laughter and chatter occasionally came out of the courtyard.

  Yun Xiang's hair was disheveled, her body ached all over, and she estimated that she would be bruised. She glared at Shallow Moon Pavilion with annoyance, never expecting that Yun Shangyue, who had lost her martial arts skills, would still be so arrogant. Listening to the joyful laughter inside, it seemed like they were mocking her, and she almost gnashed her silver teeth in anger. With a sudden stomp of her foot, "Let's go, I'll go find Father King to seek justice! We must deal with this arrogant dead girl!"

  Yunxianghe's maid also suffered a lot of beatings, but overall it was still lighter than Yunxianghe. The sticks and rods were all aimed at Yunxianghe's body, she hurriedly supported Yunxianghe, and the two walked towards Master Yunwang's study.

  Inside Yun Wangye's study.

  Third Aunt and Fifth Aunt found out that the Prince had returned to the mansion, and they rushed to the study in a hurry. They were thinking of taking control of the household. This time, the two of them reached a consensus in private, and they no longer competed with each other. Even if the two of them worked together to manage the household, they still wanted to hold the keys to the household in their hands. If Yun Shangyue, that little yellow-haired girl, were to take control of the household, how could they have a good life? Having finally brought down Phoenix Consort, they naturally couldn't let Yun Shangyue off easy now.

  But after a long time of persuasion and probing, Yun Shang and Yue Wang remained unmoved. It was clear that Yun Shang would not be able to take charge of the household, and Yun Wang was unwilling to budge even half an inch. He made it clear that Yun Shang was the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, and she had every right to take charge of the household. At this point, both of them felt that their efforts were in vain.

  Just then Yunxianghe and her maid arrived, and before they had entered, the sound of crying came in.

  Yun Wangye was annoyed by the two concubines, and upon hearing the crying sound, he yelled out, "Xiang He, didn't you go to your sister's place? What are you crying about here?"

  Yunxianghe cried extremely wronged, walked in and cried: "Father king, daughter will never go to Shanyue sister's courtyard again. If I go again, I'm afraid I won't come back alive."

  "What's going on? Weren't you fine just now? How did it become like this?" King Yun looked at Yun Xianghe, frowning and asking.

  "I just went to her place, and before I even entered the house, she had me beaten up." Yunxianghe wiped away tears with a handkerchief, crying extremely sorrowfully, and rolled up her sleeves to show Yunwangfu, indeed there were purple-red marks on her arm from being hit.

  "Is it really Shallow Moon's doing?" King Cloud asked.

  "Father, am I still not good enough for you?" Yunxianghe lowered her head, and tears fell even more.

  "Shallow Moon is indeed too presumptuous!" Cloud King said.

  "Your Majesty, I said so, how can Miss Shallow Moon manage the household? The one who manages the household must distinguish between kindness and resentment. Just like Miss Shallow Moon, she just returned and immediately beat up her elder sister, how can this household be fair in the future?" Third Madam seized the opportunity to advise Your Majesty.

  "Yes, Master Wang, think about it. Miss Shallow Moon has always been arrogant and unruly since she was born. After all these years, she still hasn't changed, and now she's even more unbridled. I heard that when she went to Xiangquan Mountain for a day, she almost set the mountain temple on fire while roasting fish. Later, she got drunk for a whole day and night, and afterwards, she must have been naughty again, which is why she was locked in the underground Buddha hall for three days and nights. Now that she's just back, she's already beaten the eldest miss. This is really not like her, Old Master Wang spoils her too much, you can't indulge her anymore!" The fifth madam immediately took over the conversation.

  "Yes, Prince Wang, if you continue like this, you will ruin her. Which family's daughter is as spoiled as she is?" Third Aunt said again.

  "Everyone in the capital is a well-behaved young lady. Only our family's Shallow Moon Miss is not well-behaved." Fifth Aunt said again.

  Yun Xianghe no longer spoke, listening to the two aunts telling tales about Yun Wangye. As long as they could deal with Yun Shangyue, she wouldn't mind that the two of them had helped Yun Shangyue take revenge on her mother.

  "None of you need to say anything more. The king and I have our own judgment!" Cloud King fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand at the three people, "All of you go down! Xiang He, take good care of your injuries in your courtyard. Since your sister doesn't like you, from now on, try to avoid appearing in front of her. Don't worry, Shallow Moon is actually a broad-minded person, she just has some temper and stubbornness. Even if she takes charge of the household, she won't reduce your allowance by a single cent."

  "Your Highness?" The Third and Fifth Aunts couldn't believe that after talking for half a day, the Prince still didn't budge.

  "Father Emperor?" Yunxianghe's eyes widened even more, she couldn't believe that she had been bullied by Yunshuoyue to such an extent. Why didn't her father emperor do anything about it? Not even a word of punishing Yunshuoyue was mentioned.

  "Get down! Green Branch, attend to the writing instruments." Yun Wangye's face turned stern.

  "Two aunts and the young lady, please withdraw! The prince has matters to attend to." A woman in green clothing walked over, around thirty years old, no longer young, but with an air of refinement about her. She spoke indifferently to the three of them.

  Third Aunt and Fifth Aunt saw the king's determination, they could only retreat. Yunxianghe bit her lip tightly, looking at the king, but the king didn't look at her again, she suddenly turned around and also left the study.

  "They are all a group of people who don't let others have peace of mind. Father King was right, I've been muddled for half my life." The Cloud King sighed, with some melancholy and desolation.

  "Although I've been confused for half of my life, isn't there still the second half? Don't worry, Prince." Qingzhi smiled.

  "Ever since Han'er and Shallow Moon's mother left, I haven't been interested in anything, and have been muddled for many years. Fortunately, you've been with me. However, you're still unmarried, it's my fault that I delayed your marriage." Yun Wangye said slowly as he looked at Green Branch.

  "With just my ordinary looks, I'm lucky to be someone's shadow sometimes." Green Branch shook her head and said lightly: "Your Highness should start dealing with things now! You've accumulated a lot of work at Lingtai Temple these past two days, and today you'll probably be busy until deep into the night again."

  "Hmm!" King Cloud nodded.

  The study quieted down, Yun Wang handled matters, and Green Branch attended to the writing instruments. It was also serene.

  Third Aunt and Fifth Aunt left the study of King Yun and headed to Shallow Moon Pavilion, discussing among themselves. These days they had been whispering in each other's ears, but King Yun remained unmoved, it seemed he was determined to let Shallow Moon take charge of the household. Now that Shallow Moon had returned from Lingtai Temple after her ordeal, they would definitely go to pay their respects. In the future, they still hoped she would take care of them in this palace.

  The two arrived at the Shallow Moon Pavilion, where they saw Cloud Meng, the head steward, standing at the entrance directing people to move things inside. There were boxes and brocade boxes of all sizes, totaling dozens. The two exchanged a glance and quickened their pace, approaching Cloud Meng. Third Madam smiled and asked, "Head Steward, what are you moving in here?"

  "The old slave has paid respects to the two madams!" Yun Meng bowed, "These are the supplementary gifts sent by various manors for Miss Shallow Moon, and I have brought them to Miss Shallow Moon."

  "So many?" Third Aunt exclaimed in surprise.

  "This is still a lot? This is just a small part that has been moved over, most of it has already entered the warehouse in the mansion. Moreover, the Emperor and Empress in the palace have each sent over many supplements, which are still on the way, I'll go to meet them now." said Yun Mengdao.

  Is this just a small portion? Third Auntie clicked her tongue, turned her head to look at Fifth Auntie, and Fifth Auntie also had an expression. Looking at those exquisite brocade boxes, they must be rare nourishing treasures. And they came empty-handed, which was really not good.

  "Are the two aunts here to see Miss Shallow Moon? Please come in! Miss Shallow Moon is currently inside." said Yun Meng.

  The fifth aunt immediately shook her head, "We heard the noise and came to take a look. Today is late, Miss Shallow Moon has just returned, she must be tired from traveling by boat and carriage, so we won't go in now. Tomorrow when she's rested well, we'll come again to see her."

  "Yes, we'll come again tomorrow." The third aunt also nodded.

  "Alright!" Yun Meng naturally knew what was on both of their minds.

  The three aunts and five aunts turned around and hurried away. Each thought to themselves that if they came tomorrow, the gifts they brought couldn't be worse than others. The people they used to look down on were now in charge of their food and clothing, so they had to try their best to curry favor with them.

  Inside the Shallow Moon Pavilion, Cai Lian keenly saw Third Aunt and Fifth Aunt at the entrance, but they left after a while. She whispered to Yun Shangyue: "Miss, just now Third Aunt and Fifth Aunt came, exchanged two sentences with the housekeeper and then left."

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyu leaned against the back of the beauty and swung her legs in response.

  "Miss, I'll go and prepare some nourishing food for you. What would you like to eat? These things that were sent over are all good stuff. In previous years when the miss celebrated her birthday, she never received as many gifts as this year. Moreover, every year when celebrating her birthday, the good things she received were put away by Madame Feng in the storage room of the mansion and secretly used for herself. The ones brought to Shallow Moon Pavilion for the miss were all inferior goods. This time they are all top-quality goods!"

  "It's done with just a few good stews." Yun Qianyu glanced at those supplements, and indeed they were all top-notch. Moreover, they didn't seem to be modern processed synthetic products, but rather purely natural ones. At this time, her body was weak, so she wouldn't refuse anything that came her way.

  "All right, I'll go down and stew for Miss then." Zhao's mother said immediately.

  "Let's cook a few more pots, Cai Lian, Ting Xue, and Ting Yu have been following me with bated breath, they need to be replenished too. Everyone in our courtyard should eat some. I look at their pale and thin faces, as if they've been starving for a long time. From now on, we'll make sure everyone eats well and drinks enough, and regains their plumpness." said Yun Shangyue.

  "Miss is really kind, okay, I'll go and stew some more." Zhao's mother smiled and went down.

  The courtyard was filled with cheers from everyone. They shouted one after another, "Miss is so great!"

  That's it! Yún Qiǎn smiled slightly.

  That evening, all the servants in Shallow Moon House had a feast of dishes they had never tasted before. The sound of laughter came from Shallow Moon House throughout the night until the moon was high above the willow trees, when everyone finally went to sleep.

  On the second day, Yun Shang Yue woke up as soon as the sky broke dawn. She looked at the sky and found it was the same time she used to wake up every day in her previous life. She frowned, thinking that after coming to this world and changing bodies, she had just slept for a few days and now wanted to restore her old habits? That wouldn't do, as a young lady in this life, she should make up for the sleep she hadn't gotten enough of before. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep again, tossing and turning several times, but couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she pushed away the quilt and got out of bed.

  She pushed open the door, and the courtyard was quiet, with Cai Lian and others still sleeping. She had an idea, chose a piece of empty land, and started practicing Tai Chi. Still thinking about recovering her internal strength as soon as possible.

  Practicing the thirteen postures repeatedly, still there is no true Qi in the Dan Tian.

  Half a time later, Yun Shallow Moon stopped. It seems that as Rong Jing said, it will take about a year and a half to recover her internal strength. She sighed, looking at her slender body and wrists, now she really can't lift her shoulders or hands, and her martial arts skills are gone. When there is no one around, isn't she waiting to be slaughtered by others? She pursed her lips, made up her mind, even without internal strength, she should let this body get stronger first. Maybe it won't catch up with Li Yun's physique, but it can't be too bad either.

  Thinking of this, Yun Qianyue began to follow the training method of her previous life and persisted in the training that she had been doing for over a decade.

  An hour later, the people in Shallow Moon Pavilion all got up one after another. Yun Shangyue also ended his punching and kicking movements, sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard with sweat dripping from his head.

  Cai Lian slept late yesterday, and when she woke up, she walked to the Yun Shallow Moon house in a daze. She pushed open the door and saw no one, but when she turned around, she found her sitting in the courtyard. Cai Lian couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Miss, why did you wake up so early today?"

  "Can't sleep, so I got up." Yun Qian Yue stood up and walked into the house.

  Cai Lian nodded, thinking to herself that the sun had risen in the west today? Usually, Miss was hard to wake up, but today was really rare! She looked up at the sky, and the sun was still in the east. She turned around and followed Yun Shallow Moon into the house.

  After washing up and taking the morning tonic, the young lady lounged lazily in her chair, with sunlight streaming through the window, shining brightly on her purple clothes.

  "Miss, aren't you supposed to go to Rong Wang Fu today?" Cai Lian reminded her, seeing that Yun Shang Yue hadn't moved.

  "Uh-huh!" Yun Shangyue remained seated and still, "I'll go later!"

  "The sky is no longer early now, our Yunwangfu and Rongwangfu are separated by two long streets, you should set off now." Cai Lian advised.

  "It's just two streets, it doesn't count for anything!" Yun Shallow Moon remained seated and unmoving.

  "Although it's just two streets, these two streets are the bustling main streets. Later on, there will be many people on the street and it will naturally take longer. If Miss doesn't leave now, she'll end up going to Young Master Jing's house for lunch." Cai Lian looked at Yun Shang Yue, knowing that Miss didn't want to go.

  The cloud is shallow and the moon does not speak.

  Just then, Yun Meng hastily walked in. Before she arrived, her voice was heard, "Miss, I've prepared the carriage for you. Old Master Wang had a special carriage made for you during your trip to Lingtai Temple these past few days. He said that since Miss's body is not well and needs rest, it would be better not to ride horses anymore, so just take the carriage!"

  "I'm not that weak yet!" Yun Qiu Yue said.

  "Old Master Wang had Miss's horse sent to a separate courtyard thirty miles away for someone to take care of. He said that when Miss recovers and her martial arts skills are restored, he will bring back the horse you love." Yun Mengdao said.

  "This old scoundrel!" Yun Qian Yue was annoyed.

  Cai Lian suppressed her smile, thinking that Old Master Wang and the young lady were really playful. She felt that Old Master Wang was specially fond of bullying the young lady for his own amusement. However, it was also true that he spoiled the young lady, allowing only himself to bully her, but not others.

  "Miss, go quickly! The carriage is waiting at the gate." Yun Meng threw out a sentence and turned to leave.

  Yun Qianyue stood up and walked out. Cai Lian followed behind Yun Qianyue, smiling secretly, as the two of them left Shallow Moon Pavilion.

  At the entrance of Yunwangfu, there was indeed a brand new carriage parked, although it wasn't as luxurious as the one made from Rongjing Xiangxiang wood, but still made from top-quality materials. The body of the carriage was wrapped in colorful ribbons that fluttered in the wind. In front of the carriage stood a fine horse with a completely red coat, but its body and head were adorned with many small trinkets and bells, which jingled incessantly as it stood still, blown by the wind.

  Yun Shallow Moon silently looked at the carriage and horse, do you need to be so ostentatious?! This made her feel like a courtesan from a brothel. She turned to Cai Lian, who was looking at the carriage with a joyful face, "Miss, you finally have your own carriage! How wonderful!"

  "Didn't you notice that this carriage is decorated abnormally?" Yun Shangyue asked.

  "Miss, this is decorated according to your preferences! Think about the horse you had before, it was just like that!" Cai Lian's face was as calm as can be.

  "Emotions are what I like!" Yun Qian Yue sighed and looked up at the sky, then turned to look at the horse carriage, "Well, in that case! If we go out on the streets like this, I reckon everyone on the street won't need to do anything else, they'll all be staring at me."

  Cai Lian smiled and said, "That's perfect, no one dares to block Miss's way, we can go all the way smoothly."

  "Hmm!" Yun Qianyu lifted the curtain and got on the carriage.

  Cai Lian followed Yun Shangyue closely and also jumped onto the carriage. The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage started moving smoothly.

  As Cai Lian said, the two main streets they took were indeed the ones where Yun Wang Fu was located in the east city of the capital, and Rong Wang Fu was located in the north city. In ancient times, there was a saying that "east is noble, west is humble; south is noble, north is humble". When the four great wang fu (princely mansions) were built, Emperor Tian Sheng's ancestor gave Yun Wang Fu the east city, Rong Wang Fu the north city, De Qin Wang Fu the south city, and Xiao Qin Wang Fu the west city. The four wang fu occupied the capital, surrounding the imperial palace in the center of the city.

  The horse-drawn carriage made its way through the streets, with colorful ribbons fluttering and the sound of bells ringing incessantly.

  Passersby took one look at the carriage and horse's attire and immediately thought of Yun Qianyue's name, then saw the license plate on the carriage, all with an expression of "as expected", and they gave way to Yun Qianyue without surprise.

  Cai Lian opened the car curtain a little and whispered to Yun Shang Yue: "Miss, you see, everyone in the car knows it's you, they're giving way to you! I said Miss would definitely have a smooth ride, and indeed I was right."

  Yun Shallow Moon rolled her eyes, "Fortunately everyone gave way to me, otherwise I'd be a street rat with everyone shouting to hit me!"

  "How could that be? Although Miss is not elegant, her reputation is not good. But in the hearts of the old people in Beijing, she is better than those ladies. Miss has done many good things for the old people! You have built a porridge shed and rescued refugees, and the people have seen it with their own eyes. In fact, Miss's reputation was spread by those idle people in the capital who had nothing to do. You also privately built several windproof and rainproof houses for homeless vagrant children, but no one knew about this matter." Cailian said.

  "Huh? Yun Shangyue was taken aback, 'Am I really this good?'"

  "Oh my, Miss, I've found that you're getting more and more muddled. You can't even remember things you've done yourself! If I hadn't been by your side all along, I'd really think someone had switched you out!" Cai Lian glared at Yun Shangyue, "This matter was handled so secretly by Miss, I've been by Miss's side for half a year and only followed her to visit those children she took in once. And it was such a secretive place, naturally no one else knew about it."

  Yun Shallow Moon smiled, "If everyone does good things for the sake of fame, then they have lost the essence of kindness." As she finished speaking, she saw Cai Lian looking at her with a puzzled expression, and said in a low voice, "Let's go see those children after a few days. Keeping it a secret is just to avoid disturbing them."

  "Yes, Miss is right." Cai Lian nodded, "Those children were mostly taken by Miss from the real young masters in the capital to play with and were snatched away when Miss stumbled upon them! If people find out, it will definitely cause trouble."

  "Hmm!" Yun Shangyue nodded slightly. For the first time, she had a deep thought as the owner of this body.

  She was held hostage by swords and knives from the moment she entered this world. All she heard and saw were the disadvantages of her body's master. She didn't know a single character, couldn't play chess or paint, wasn't skilled in needlework or embroidery, and even her martial arts skills were just fancy moves. Moreover, she was infatuated with Night Sky, suffered humiliation from the concubines and maids in the mansion, disobeyed the instructions of the noble ladies, and committed all sorts of evil deeds including murder and arson. But now it seems that none of this is true!

  Although she has no memory, by intuition, Yun Shang should be very clever. Especially the layout of her room, so elegant and not luxurious, how can a person without taste arrange it? Then there is the vast and profound aura she had before losing her inner power, and then there are the good deeds she did in private that Cai Lian told her about. How could a truly notorious person do such things?

  She has a feeling that all of this is just an illusion she uses to confuse people.

  Just like that gaudy horse, how tacky is she? But it fits with the outside rumors that she's a spoiled rich girl who doesn't know good taste. And then there's the matter of the women's association thing, where she can't do anything... her martial arts skills are actually very good but were said to be mediocre...

  But why does she pretend to be like this!

  Unfortunately, no one can answer her questions about all this, because the owner of this body is already dead. And how did she die? She inexplicably came to this world and occupied this body, except that the martial arts of this body itself were not lost, everything else was forgotten, and there was no injury or pain on her body, as if the woman suddenly disappeared into thin air.

  Yun Shallow Moon's eyebrows furrowed tightly. Countless questions swirled in her mind instantly. From the beginning to now, she had never thought deeply about it, but today when Cai Lian mentioned it, she suddenly felt that something was off. She felt that this body was not as simple as its appearance, and might be hiding many secrets. If so, then everything that was rumored about this body was just a disguise, and before she figured out the truth, she would naturally have to continue pretending.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought of this, and suddenly felt that being forced by Yun Old Wang to find Rong Jing to learn to recognize characters wasn't so resistant after all. Since the master of this body wants to pretend, there must be a reason for it. The fact that others can pretend to make everyone in the world think it's true is also a skill, and they've been pretending for over ten years. She's only pretended for a few days and already feels tired. It's simply not as good as others!

  Could she really be less tolerant than others? Of course not! So, let's continue pretending then!

  "Miss, what's wrong?" Cai Lian asked softly as she saw Yun Shang Yue motionless for half a day, her face constantly changing color.

  Yun Shallow Moon hastily withdrew the expression on her face, just about to speak, when the carriage suddenly stopped. A strange and eerie male voice came from outside, "I thought it was someone's carriage dressed up like a peacock, turns out it's the young lady of the Yun Wang Fu!"

  A sudden noise broke through Yun Qianyue's meditation, she lifted her head.

  Cai Lian's face changed, and she lowered her voice: "Miss, it's Cold Little Prince Wang of the Filial Piety King's Manor."

  Young Master Wang of the Filial Piety King's Mansion? Yun Qian's eyes narrowed and she said in a low voice, "Don't bother with him, let's continue driving!"

  "Miss, I'm afraid you can't leave. Young Master Leng has blocked the way." Cai Lian said softly: "Moreover, Young Master Leng seems to have brought many people today. He might know that you're leaving the mansion and is here to cause trouble for you."

  "Have I ever had a relationship with him?" Yun Shangyue asked.

  "Oh my, good miss. You've forgotten that you shouldn't have forgotten your past with Cold Young Master Wang, and how deeply entangled you two are! To say nothing of other things, just think about how you previously snatched several children from his hands one after another, which already provoked his anger. Later, when you set fire to the Wandering Spring Pavilion, among those who were destroyed was Cold Young Master Wang's beloved concubine, Jiao Jiao. I'm afraid Cold Young Master Wang has been harboring hatred in his heart!"

  Cai Lian said in a low voice: "You entered the palace on the second day after setting fire to the Wandering Spring Pavilion and have been confined within the manor, being taught to read by our young master. Later, with Jing Shizi following you closely, I'm afraid Cold Young Master Wang hasn't had the opportunity to seek revenge against you until now."

  "So it was like this!" Yun Shallow Moon frowned.

  "Yun Qianyue! Didn't you hear Ben Xiao Wangye speaking? Have you become mute? It's as if you were dropped into the underground Buddha hall of Lingtai Temple and got stunned!" Leng Shaoyu said with a sarcastic tone. As he spoke, it seemed that someone had approached the carriage.
