Minister Liu's expression changed completely.
"Yun Shu, what do you mean? Didn't you just agree? Why the sudden change of heart? Even if your father is a great general, you can't be so arrogant!" Liu Qian Xiao asked in a panic.
Who would have thought that merely disciplining a servant who bumped into her today would attract Yun Shu, this great trouble!
Madam Wang frowned deeply. "Second Miss Yun, what exactly do you want?!"
"Apologize to her," Yun Shu's smile vanished as she looked at A Cha.
A glimmer of tears flashed in A Cha's eyes.
Her young lady...
How could she be so fortunate?
Madam Wang and Liu Qian Xiao's faces darkened, and they asked in disbelief, "You want us to apologize?! Apologize to her? To a servant?"
"In your eyes, she is a servant. In my eyes, she is my sister. You bully my sister and even want to take her away, treating me as if I'm not here?" Yun Shu retorted.
Liu Qian Xiao was stunned. "You treat a servant as your sister?"
Madam Wang, being older and more experienced, knew that Yun Shu would not let them off easily now, and seemed determined to escalate the matter.
She gritted her teeth.
This time, they had to bear the loss!
"Qian Xiao, think carefully. We were too rash just now. Apologize," Madam Wang said to Liu Qian Xiao with a grim expression.
Liu Qian Xiao looked at Madam Wang in disbelief. "Mother, it's clearly..."
"Qian Xiao, apologize," Minister Liu said, clenching his fists.
In the capital, besides the Night King and the Regent, who were not to be provoked, one also could not make an enemy of General Yun.
Otherwise, they would be the ones to suffer. They never expected to hit a steel plate this time.
Although Liu Qian Xiao was willful and reckless, she calmed down this time, gritted her teeth, and said with great reluctance, "It is my fault. I should not have blamed Second Miss Yun's attendant."
A Cha lowered her head, hiding the tears in her eyes. When she looked up again, the tears were gone, replaced by coldness. She looked coldly at Liu Qian Xiao and Madam Wang. "It is this servant's fault."
After speaking, she walked to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu glanced at A Cha and, seeing that A Cha's expression was calm, felt relieved.
A moment later.
On the way back to the Qian Qiu Feast.
A Cha said softly, "Miss, thank you."
She would never forget in her life that it was her young lady who saved her from prison, and it was her young lady's words just now, calling her sister.
Yun Shu smiled. "A Cha, I truly consider you my sister. You performed very well today. Actually, even if I hadn't appeared, you could have handled them." Her appearance was merely to provide A Cha with support.
A Cha understood and nodded emotionally. "This servant knows. I am fortunate for three lifetimes to have met you, Miss."
Yun Shu smiled. "Silly girl, let's go."
"Okay!"
At this time.
The Qian Qiu Feast was bustling.
However, Yun Yue Yin, who had just returned to her seat, was restless.
Anxiously, she would occasionally glance at Zhan Ming.
She had thought that years had allowed her to understand him, but just now... she felt she didn't understand him at all.
Then, with a hint of resentment, she looked at Zhan Tian Ye.
Her heart was filled with regret. If only, if only she hadn't left back then, and had entered the Night King's residence with Zhan Xiao Li, none of this would have happened.
Although the Night King was crippled, the power he held had not been seized by anyone!
She was full of regret!
She suddenly regretted not going to the Night King's residence yesterday to say she was not Zhan Xiao Li's biological mother!
Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and an idea came to her. She secretly bit her lip. After leaving the palace, she would definitely be able to return to the General's residence!
Zhan Xiao Li said softly to Gu Xiao Feng, "You are not my father's son, are you?"
Gu Xiao Feng did not speak, nor did he answer.
"Don't think that silence means I can't expose you," Zhan Xiao Li said coldly.
Gu Xiao Feng looked up at Zhan Xiao Li.
The two brothers' eyes met.
Tiny figures.
Both like little adults, one with a cold and imposing gaze, the other with a chilling, fearless look.
Neither was willing to back down.
"Xiao Li, he is your brother," Zhan Tian Ye suddenly said.
He looked at the two brothers who were not getting along. In the palace, under everyone's watchful eyes, he couldn't persuade them to live in harmony.
However, he also couldn't figure out who was the elder and who was the younger brother, given they were twins.
Well, they were born around the same time, so it was all about the same.
Zhan Xiao Li frowned, his little face full of resistance. "He is not!" His brother was Yun Xiao Jing, that was what Mother confirmed. He acknowledged that, but Father couldn't have children, and this person was forced upon them by his Regent grandfather, how could he be his brother!
He refused to acknowledge him!
Gu Xiao Feng clenched his small hands tightly.
He had an urge to rush over to find his mother.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his mother was right. His mother hadn't abandoned him on purpose; her eyes had been so sincere, he could feel it.
The Night King was not his father.
Zhan Xiao Li was not his brother.
But, Mother was his Mother. Mother had willingly acknowledged him, and Mother had given him a signal flare.
"Xiao Li, if Father says he is, then he is! He is your biological brother, remember, your biological brother," Zhan Tian Ye said to Zhan Xiao Li in a low, deep voice.
Zhan Xiao Li didn't want to speak, but he thought to himself, Father knows nothing!
Gu Xiao Feng looked at Zhan Tian Ye in surprise. Biological brother?
Zhan Tian Ye looked at Gu Xiao Feng with a gentle gaze and said softly, "You are my own son."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Shu, who had just returned to her seat.
As expected, after Yun Shu sat down, her first gaze was towards Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng.
Her gaze towards both of them was so gentle.
The corner of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly. Both sons were by his side. As for her...
After Yun Shu sat down, Yun Chang Feng asked her, "Were you bullied?"
"Father, rest assured, very few people can bully me now," Yun Shu said with a bright smile.
Yun Chang Feng nodded, and then, as if remembering something, pointed to a dish in front of him, looking surprised and pleased. "Shu'er, I just tasted the flavor!"
He couldn't taste any flavors before.
Drinking wine was like drinking tea, except that after drinking wine, he would get a little dizzy.
"In another period of time, Father will be able to discern even more flavors."
"That's wonderful!"
As the father and daughter were talking,
Suddenly, Yun Shu heard someone nearby mention Gu Zhi Ruo's name.
Gu Zhi Ruo?
It was then that she remembered she hadn't seen Gu Zhi Ruo today. At the Gu family's table, there were only Gu Zhi Ruo's two younger sisters.
So, she listened intently as they continued to discuss Gu Zhi Ruo.
"Don't you know? Gu Zhi Ruo is ill."
"No one knows what kind of illness it is. She's been bedridden for a while now. Even the Qu family, who were engaged to Gu Zhi Ruo, are considering breaking off the engagement, saying they don't want to marry a sickly woman and bring bad luck to the Qu family."
