Yun Jinnian looked at Hemei, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and he said in a calm voice, "No matter what his intentions are, they can’t change the fact that he’s my father, nor can they change the mistakes he’s committed, and certainly not the fact that in the end, Mother will divorce him, and I and the Yun Residence will ultimately sever ties!"
By that time, it will be time to seek revenge for grievances, and hold grudges for resentments!
Of course, during this period, they’d better not provoke me, and if they do, if they want to harm me, I won’t hold back because of any so-called familial ties, not to mention those that are already frail.
"Miss is right, but the news that came said that Xu Xinmo seems to have changed a lot!"
"A dog can’t change its habit of eating crap, rest assured, that person, even if she has changed, it’s only skin-deep, not in the bone, let alone the soul!"
The fact that her own paternal family changes their expressions when speaking of her, the younger generation despises her, the elders dislike her, and Lady Xu wishes she were dead, all without showing repentance, shows how deeply flawed Xu Xinmo is in her bones and soul.
After Yun Jinnian had finished speaking, she then took Leng Nuan to urinate, before placing him into the cradle to sleep.
But the child didn’t want to sleep, looking at her with his large, dark eyes wide open.
Yun Jinnian held Nuannuan’s hand, squeezing it, feeling the baby fat.
Her heart felt warm and full.
She sent Hemei to go to sleep and casually picked up a book, opening it and reading aloud for Leng Nuan to listen.
In the spacious room heated by the warm floor, the house was also warm and cozy, Yun Jinnian’s voice soft and gentle, while Leng Nuan listened attentively, unsure whether he understood or not.
But Yun Jinnian thought, he must have understood.
Chu Yu arrived and stood outside the room for a long while before he gently knocked on the door.
Chu Yu walked in, removing his cloak at the doorway.
Once inside the bedroom, Yun Jinnian looked up and saw Chu Yu; there was joy and pleasure in seeing him, but also a slight resentment due to Elder Chen’s matter.
She got up and went to the receiving area outside, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Chu Yu.
"What brings you here at this late hour?"
Chu Yu held the cup, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is Elder Chen’s health?"
"If he hadn’t been so infuriated as to vomit blood, nobody could tell—maybe one year, maybe two. But this time, he’s been outraged, he won’t live past three months!"
"That day, I shouldn’t have gone to the Elder Residence!" Chu Yu was greatly troubled.
"Indeed, you shouldn’t have gone. The Princely Heir also went too far. At first, he personally came to propose marriage, and now he wants to call it off..." Yun Jinnian paused, "Regardless of his reasons and excuses, I’m afraid Sister Chen can’t help but hate him now!"
Chu Yu felt uncomfortable too.
"I’ll ask that young man right away, what exactly is the reason?"
"There’s no need to ask, what difference will it make? I guess Sister Chen might move up the date to cancel the engagement!"
Yun Jinnian didn’t want to dwell on this matter any further and asked, "How is your cousin doing now?"
"It’s said that he can slowly walk around with the aid of a walking stick!"
"That’s good. Send him a message from me, tell him to walk more, exercise more, and practice some skills that can calm and soothe the mind. Even if he can’t completely recover, it won’t be too far off!"
The two of them spoke like an old married couple, their conversation mundane yet filled with warmth.
Chu Yu basically didn’t keep secrets from Yun Jinnian, he even shared the details of the court’s movements with her to keep her informed.
"If Elder Chen truly can’t last three months, there will likely be major changes among the Imperial Court officials!" Chu Yu said gravely.
This was also a good opportunity for him to place his people.
Especially the elders of the Chen Family, with Elder Chen holding a high second-rank official position and the others being from the second-rank and third-rank, each position represented a substantial vacancy.
"I’m just a woman, I don’t wish to deal with court affairs. I’m just worried about Sister Chen..."
