"Mother, destiny is a vague and ambiguous thing, it exists if you believe in it, and it does not if you don’t. But regardless of its existence, one must strive oneself. If one does not make an effort, even with the best family background and the best assistance, it would be like trying to support a wall made of mud or carve a rotten wood. In the past, your son was foolish and almost walked into a dead end!" Yun Zhen said, holding Mrs. He’s hand, "Mother, Fourth Sister is not our enemy, she is our family!"
"How could she be considered our family? She belongs to the second house. Zhenzhen, since you put it that way, I will send someone to Niannian Garden to call her!"
Mrs. He still looked down upon Yun Jinnian in her speech.
In her mind, she only remembered Yun Jinnian’s former frailty and helplessness in the manor, completely forgetting that Yun Jinnian was now a Commandery Princess, and an honored guest wherever she went, granted the title of Princess Yijia by the Emperor.
Yun Zhen was momentarily at a loss for words.
"You take a good rest, leave everything else to Mother!" Mrs. He reassured Yun Zhen with a few words.
She stood up and left.
Yun Zhen watched and sighed, realizing that his mother did not understand his meaning at all.
The current Yun Jinnian was no longer the same Yun Jinnian from before.
And whether the three brothers could stand up again depended on Yun Jinnian.
Unfortunately, despite her earnest words, his mother did not listen at all!
Yun Jinnian and the others were startled to learn that Yun Zhen, Yun Yi, and Yun Xuan were injured.
"How did they get hurt?" Yun Jinnian asked.
"The maidservant doesn’t know the specifics. Fourth Miss, please come with the maidservant. Second Young Master is still unconscious, Third Young Master is also not well!" Tianmi said, slightly raising her head.
Yun Jinnian looked at her, lowered her beautiful eyes, and said nothing.
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan were also extremely anxious, "Fourth Sister, please, go see Second Brother and Third Brother!"
Both were sweating profusely with faces turning pale.
"Hemei, bring the medicine box!" Yun Jinnian eventually spoke calmly.
Yun Jinnian walked in front, and the group swayed and proceeded to the front courtyard.
All the while, Yun Jinnian did not speak, even when Xu Xinmo tried to speak several times, she made no response.
Xu Xinmo was left embarrassed and could only remain silent.
Upon reaching the front courtyard, Yun Jinnian saw Mrs. He.
Mrs. He naturally saw Yun Jinnian as well.
Hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward, "Jinnian, you’re here just in time. Quickly go in and see your second and third brothers!"
Yun Jinnian followed Mrs. He through the main gate.
Inside the room, she immediately saw Yun Yi lying on the Arhat bed.
His face was pale, an arrow feather stuck in his chest, his clothes around it soaked with blood, and he was unconscious.
"Jinnian, quickly see your second brother!"
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly, but slowly took the wet towel Henuan handed over to clean her hands.
Mrs. He watched, anger rising in her heart.
Only after Yun Jinnian cleaned her hands did she sit down to check Yun Yi’s pulse.
"How is he?" Mrs. He asked urgently.
"The arrow is poisoned, hence his unconsciousness!" Yun Jinnian replied, withdrawing her hand.
She opened the medicine box, took out a porcelain bottle, and dispensed a pill, "Dissolve this in warm water and give it to Second Brother to take!"
Then, she took out scissors from the medicine box and cut open Yun Yi’s chest clothing, revealing a dark purple wound.
"Hemei, prepare to extract the arrow!"
Hemei responded, immediately ordering people to prepare hot water, cotton, and bandages while Yun Jinnian studied how to extract the arrow with minimal harm.
"Jinnian, how is it? Can the arrow be extracted?" Mrs. He asked worriedly.
"I’m still figuring it out!"
Yun Jinnian paused and then said, "It’s best to have a similar arrow feather. I need to check if it has barbs!"
