Yun Jinnian remained calm, her thoughts elsewhere.
Xun Chuxi thought of her beloved also coming and hurriedly sat up straight.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi nearly couldn’t hold their teacups, their bodies stiff, wanting to look towards the door but not daring to.
Very much conflicted.
Faces blushing deeply.
Yun Jinnian observed and exchanged a smile with Yun Zihan.
As the eldest sister, not counting the main branch, she should consider for her three half-sisters.
After each paid respects, not only were Yun Zuomo and the others shy, but even the young gentlemen blushed, sneaking glances at Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing, afraid of being noticed, quickly averting their gaze.
Feng Wushuang hoped Yun Jinnian was there for matchmaking too, but he knew she wasn’t.
On the day of Yun Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony, he had somewhat seen the truth.
He quietly hid his admiration in his heart.
Besides love, he also felt grateful to Yun Jinnian.
Without her, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
"Jinnian, let’s take a walk in the garden!" Yun Zihan suggested.
Staying here with everyone blushing, how would they even look at each other?
It would be better to spread out and let fate take its course.
After a few girls got up and left, Feng Wushuang and Liao Shijie exchanged a smile.
Liao Shijie then said, "Why don’t you all hurry up and go!"
The young gentlemen exchanged glances, smiled, and then left the pavilion together.
Yun Zihan instructed the three half-sisters to walk separately and took Yun Jinnian and Xun Chuxi back to the room.
Xun Chuxi couldn’t sit still and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The two sisters sat together talking.
"I didn’t expect you to help Zuomo and the others!" Yun Zihan was very moved.
Although Yun Jinnian was cold, her heart was warm.
She never bullied the three half-sisters, and now that she was dealing with them, she was indeed a qualified elder sister.
Yun Jinnian smiled, "I’m just offering a little help, nothing more than that!"
"You just say that, but honestly, aside from Su Aunt and Hua Aunt back then, Zuomo and the others are quite good!"
Those years were really difficult.
But now it’s all good, they’ve all made it through.
Thinking of this, Yun Zihan held Yun Jinnian’s hand, "And you? What are your plans?"
She thought Feng Wushuang wasn’t bad.
Feng Old Madam was also wonderful, gentle, and didn’t meddle in affairs, focusing on being a carefree old lady.
If Yun Jinnian really married Feng Wushuang, she would be happy too.
"Just , Second Sister needn’t worry about me, I have someone in mind already!" Yun Jinnian spoke softly.
"Is it His Highness Rui Wang?"
Yun Jinnian didn’t want to hide from Yun Zihan.
Yun Zihan thought of the genteel and handsome Chu Yu and looked at the elegant and unmatched Yun Jinnian, saying with a smile, "That’s great, you are well-matched and will surely be happy!"
"Thank you, Second Sister!"
No ridicule, no sarcasm.
A simple yet sincere blessing.
"We are sisters, in this life and hopefully the next, Jinnian, you must be happy and you have to be, no matter who the man worthy of marrying you is, you must be happy, let those who once humiliated you see, that you, Yun Jinnian, stand high above them!"
As Yun Zihan said this, her eyes couldn’t help but redden.
She felt aggrieved and resentful that she couldn’t go to Yun Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony and personally watch her hair being pinned.
That regret is everlasting.
How could she not feel aggrieved and resentful.
"Second Sister, rest assured, I certainly will be!"
Returning to the garden.
Yun Zuomo and the other two walked separately, and so did several young scholars, with Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi all looking nice and having the same status, there was nothing much to choose from.
