Volume 1: Laughing at the Prosperous Chapter 26

  Before long, Cai Lian came running back, panting and out of breath.

  "How did you get back?" Yun Shangyue asked, turning her head.

  Cai Lian immediately said, "Miss, the personal attendants of Concubine Feng have already gone to the lake. I suppose they will be able to rescue her soon, and I was really worrying for nothing."

  "Ah! Worry a bit more, it's good for you. From now on, worry more and let me have an easier time." Yun Shuoyue nodded her head, smiling as she looked at her. In her past life, she had been diligent and meticulous, working hard every day without rest. This time, since heaven had given her a second chance at life, she couldn't bear to be taken advantage of by others again while putting herself at a disadvantage. She definitely wanted to live a more comfortable life.

  "Yes, Miss. As long as you don't mind my chatter." Cailian nodded, seeing Yun Shangyue smile, but she couldn't bring herself to smile back. She had already crippled the eldest miss and now she had thrown Feng Ce Fei into the lake. How could she not worry about Miss?

  "Don't bother. As long as you follow me obediently, I'll have a bite to eat and later on, you'll have a bite too." Yun Shangyue stared at Cai Lian, her pure smile turning into an ambiguous one. She trusted people while also not trusting anyone.

  Cai Lian was not foolish and immediately understood the young lady's meaning. She hastily nodded her head and solemnly said, "Young lady, please be at ease. In the past, I couldn't say that I was loyal to you, nor were we close. But from now on, my life belongs to you. Apart from my grandmother at home, you are my only family member. Since yesterday when the fourth prince of the imperial palace wanted to kill me but you spared my life, I made up my mind. As long as you don't despise me, I will follow you forever and never leave your side."

  "Silly girl, don't say a lifetime, a lifetime is too long. Even husbands and wives may not be together for a lifetime." Yun Shang smiled warmly and tapped Cai Lian's head with her hand. In her previous life, she had also thought that she would spend her whole life in such a busy manner, but wasn't it just a blink of an eye before her world was turned upside down?

  Cai Lian shook her head and said seriously, "No, I believe in a lifetime. I don't understand anything else and can't recognize many characters, but I believe that there is a lifetime that long, people have fate with each other. I was able to serve by Miss's side because of fate. If I say I won't leave Miss, then for a lifetime, I will never leave Miss."

  Yun Piao Yue's face showed some emotion, but her complexion was still radiant with a smile. "Then you'll get married, right? You can't marry me! I'm a man and could marry you, but I'm a woman!"

  "I won't get married! I'll spend my whole life serving by Miss's side." Cailian shook her head, saying very certainly: "Miss shouldn't tease me. Even if you were a man, I wouldn't be worthy of you. How could I possibly marry you?"

  The cloud was shallow and the moon was bright, and Cai Lian mentioned marrying with an unusual expression, as if she was disgusted and repelled. Her eyes also hid a deep sadness. She thought that everyone had their own story. Cai Lian's words were not false or joking. It seemed that this was what she really thought, and she must have had some emotional knot. She patted her shoulder, not wanting to pry into others' secrets, and said softly: "Alright, if you don't want to get married, then don't. I'll support you for the rest of your life."

  Cai Lian smiled and said sincerely: "Miss is really good!"

  "You too!" Yun Qian Yue's mouth curved up, revealing a bright smile.

  The two of them chatted and laughed, seemingly having forgotten the troubles of yesterday and today. Before long, they arrived at the gate of Old Master Yun's residence. There, they saw Yu Mei already waiting by the entrance.

  Cai Lian shut her mouth and walked back to Yun Shangyue's side in an orderly manner. Yun Shangyue smiled at Yu Duan in a friendly way, thinking that as one of the personal attendants who could serve by Old Master Wang's side, Yu Duan must have some skills. It was not suitable for her to offend him.

  "The servant greets Young Mistress Shallow Moon!" Yuzhuang smiled and walked forward, bowing to Yun Shallow Moon with a rigid courtesy. Straightening up afterwards, she laughed and said: "Yesterday, the servant heard some commotion at Shallow Moon Pavilion and wanted to go over, but was stopped by Old Master Wang. He said that Miss is not like before and won't be taken advantage of. The servant didn't quite believe it until later when Eldest Mistress hurt her hand and was carried back. Only then did the servant believe it. This morning, she was still worried that Miss would be unable to handle Phoenix Consort, and was just about to go over when Miss arrived. This time, not only Old Master Wang but even the servant can rest assured that Miss won't be bullied again."

  The clouds are shallow and the moon is visible, the jade ring is small, the mouth is loud and clear, it's just a moment, thinking that this old man is really old and cunning!

  "Miss, please come in quickly! Old Master Wang has already gotten up and knew you would come to pay your respects early today. He's waiting for you!" Yujing said with a smile as she saw Yunshang standing still.

  Yun Shallow Moon smiled and walked in. Cai Lian saw that Yu Mei didn't follow her, so she waited obediently outside the door.

  "You stinky little girl, from last night to now is just a short while, how many troubles have you gotten me into? You still dare to come over!" Just as she was about to lift the curtain, Cloud Old Master Wang's scolding voice came from inside.

  Yun Pian Yue rolled her eyes, when could she see this old man without getting scolded? She lifted the curtain and walked in with a flattering smile, saying: "Didn't you say that if someone bullied your granddaughter, your granddaughter would fight back? I'm just following your instructions. Yesterday evening and this morning, someone bullied me, and I fought back both times. I came early to report to Grandfather."

  "Hmm? Speak up! How did you kill him?" Old Master Wang was changing his clothes and raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.

  "Yesterday, my elder sister and a group of sisters bullied me in my courtyard, beat up my maid, and even wanted to hit me. They also said that grandfather is an old man who won't die. Beating up my maid was one thing, but bullying me I could tolerate. However, she actually dared to scold grandfather, which I naturally wouldn't allow. So..." Yun Shangyue immediately regained her spirit and angrily recounted the events of yesterday.

  "So you've crippled one of her hands?" Old Master Yun asked after hearing this.

  "Hmm! Forget it." Yun Shangyue observed Old Master Wang's expression. After all, he didn't like that woman, but she was still his granddaughter!

  "I thought you had really made progress, but look at your behavior! You don't know how to take care of your sister and insult your elders. This kind of thing deserves to be beaten to death with a stick. You've crippled her hand and it's still going easy on her." Old Master Yun scolded Yun Shangyue disapprovingly.

  Yun Qianyue let out a sudden "uh" sound, and immediately muttered: "How dare I? I'm not you, who can kill people at will. I only slightly crippled Big Sister's hand, but this morning Feng Ce Fei came storming in, almost executing me on the spot! If it weren't for Mo Li, how would you have been able to wait for me to come and pay my respects?"

  Yun Lao Wangye snorted upon hearing this, "Since she was the one who found you and went with you, how did you manage to come out now?"

  Yun Shallow Moon pouted, thinking that Feng Ce Fei was after all a concubine mother and also the king's concubine, maybe she still had a noble title. What she did was quite tricky. Hehe smiled and helped the old king tie the remaining two buttons on his clothes, whispering: "I just told Mo Li to throw her into the lake... Ah..." Before he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head with a slap, and his smile immediately turned into tears. This old man didn't have to use so much force! Her head wasn't going to crack open. Holding her head in grievance, she looked at the old king: "Grandfather, you said that whoever bullied me would be beaten back, why did you hit me?"

  "Look at you! Is that how you use the hidden guard I gave you? You actually used it to throw a woman into the lake for the first time?! What a waste of great potential!" Old Master Wang's face was filled with anger, glaring at Yun Shangyue as he said, "I'd be justified in beating you!"

  "Yun Shallow Moon suddenly thought of Mo Li's strange eyes at that time, and immediately lost his voice. Indeed, it was a waste of great talent."

  "What's wrong with you? You just threw a woman into the lake? Do you need Master to take action himself? Foolish girl! I gave you a lingzhi and you used it as a weed, I doubt if you're my granddaughter?" Old Wang scolded with his beard twitching.

  The cloud was shallow and the moon was no longer painful, suddenly looking at Old Wang Ye with a puzzled expression, "Hidden Master?"

  "He is the master of the Wangfu hidden guard, I'll assign him to you. You silly girl, brainless, not only silly but also stupid to death. He can trample an elephant to death, you let him trample ants, isn't that silly?" Old Master Wang saw Yun Shang Yue staring blankly and reached out to knock on her forehead.

  She had no idea, did she? She wasn't the real Yun Qian Yue after all. In the past, everyone praised her for being extremely intelligent and talented, always completing tasks flawlessly without ever making a mistake. Who would have thought that after rebirth, in just a short time, she'd be scolded by others countless times for being foolish? She was speechless. Hanging her head in shame, with a good attitude, "I didn't know, did I? It won't happen again next time... If only I had known about that woman, I would have thrown her away myself and not let Mo Li do it..."

  Before she could finish speaking, Yun Shang was hit on the head again by her grandfather. She immediately got angry and hid away, holding her head. Her grandfather didn't call out to her anymore, but instead scolded: "I've already apologized, why are you still hitting me? Are you addicted to hitting?"

  Yun Lao Wangye hummed, "I'm hitting you to make you understand that you're even more precious than him. Your identity and martial arts skills would be tarnished if you were to personally take action. You are the legitimate daughter of Yun Wangfu, the most precious woman in the entire Tian Sheng dynasty. How could I have passed on the Phoenix True Classic to you for you to use against a mere woman? You're really foolish!"

  Feng Huang Zhen Jing? Is it her martial arts? Yun Qian Yue was stunned, very powerful?
