This sentence made Old Madam Yun recall.
Since Concubine Xiao entered the manor, she would come to accompany and serve her every day.
This was something Madam Yang could not do.
If Concubine Xiao were to be gone in the future, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, and she also greatly liked her granddaughter, Ying'er.
With this thought, she said to Yun Changfeng, "Changfeng, Concubine Xiao and Ying'er are, after all, your woman and daughter. Although you have neglected them somewhat over the years, blood relations cannot be changed. They are very filial to me, so you should also sever ties with them and let them follow me. In this way, it can be considered that I am helping you to take care of them, and this is the only thing a mother can do for you."
What a selfless dedication.
Yun Ying also knelt and pleaded with Yun Changfeng, "Father, let my mother and I take care of Grandmother. Let my mother and I fulfill our filial duties for Father."
Madam Yang's brows furrowed even deeper, and she began to feel some displeasure towards Old Madam Yun.
Yun Changfeng did not even glance at the mother and daughter. "As you wish."
Yun Ying was somewhat unwilling. Did Father not feel even a shred of reluctance?
Hmph!
When he was condemned by the Emperor and thrown into prison, he would definitely wish to see her and hope she could go in to see him and intercede for him.
However…
It would depend on her mood then!
Concubine Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been trying to figure out Yun Changfeng but had no idea what he was thinking. However, she was now certain that the loss of the military seal was definitely not a small matter! He would surely be condemned!
It was safer to follow Yun Dezhi to ensure her status in the capital remained unchanged.
Moreover, the most important point of this decision she had made was that Yun Yueyin was returning!
Yun Yueyin, who was about to become the most distinguished woman in the capital, would bring her more benefits in the future!
"Does Grandmother not plan to take me with her? After all, I have called you Grandmother for more than ten years. Furthermore, Grandmother told Father before that she took care of me day and night with all her heart. Are you truly willing to abandon me?" Yun Shu asked Old Madam Yun with a half-smile.
The expressions of these few people were becoming more and more disgusting the more she looked at them.
As soon as Old Madam Yun heard this, her face darkened. She looked at Yun Shu coldly, "You are not Yun Shu. From the day you returned, I said you are definitely not Yun Shu. Now you know fear and want to leave? Impossible, it's too late. Even if you were Yun Shu, you have repeatedly defied me these past two days, hurting my heart. If you leave, wouldn't that hurt your father's heart?"
"Tsk tsk, Old Madam Yun is truly heartless towards me," Yun Shu feigned being heartbroken.
However, the words "Old Madam Yun" that came out of her mouth made Old Madam Yun's face look extremely unsightly. "You! Truly ill-bred!"
"That is also the ill-breeding personally taught by Old Madam Yun," Yun Shu mocked.
Old Madam Yun was so angry she was speechless.
"Alright, since the decision has been made, after entering the palace tomorrow, I will explain to the Emperor that you all have no further relation to the General's manor. I will voluntarily request to be removed from the family tree. Shu'er will be with me," Yun Changfeng said coldly to Old Madam Yun and the others, ending the matter decisively.
At this moment, a small figure and a male figure were on the rooftop.
They heard everything that happened in the room.
Yun Xiao Jing was indignant. They were too mean!
Bullying his mother, and bullying his maternal grandfather! Hmph!
Seeing the pouting Yun Xiao Jing, Ruan Xi rolled his eyes and reminded him in a low voice, "Don't get any rash ideas, don't ruin your mother's plans! I don't know what you're thinking, but can your mother be bullied? Everyone in this room is being manipulated by her without even realizing it."
"That still won't do," Yun Xiao Jing replied in a milky voice.
Ruan Xi's mouth twitched fiercely.
Alright.
Yun Shu not only had the perverted Jing Heng by her side, but now she also had Yun Xiao Jing, who was fiercely protective of his mother.
Others truly had no way to live!
Inside the room, Yun Changfeng, having stated his stance, subtly glanced at the rooftop.
Yun Shu also swept a glance.
She sighed inwardly, "Yun Xiao Jing, oh Yun Xiao Jing!"
"Let's go, Shu'er," Yun Changfeng said to Yun Shu.
Then, she left directly.
Watching Yun Changfeng depart, Yun Shu secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Her father had great masculine spirit!
He absolutely did not cling to what he should not cling to!
He left so decisively and gracefully.
Yun Shu also left.
However, she stopped at the doorway.
She turned back, her cold, beautiful eyes looking at them.
She wondered if they would regret it in the future.
Seeing Yun Shu look back at them, Yun Ying felt a little smug. "Yun Shu, don't have any illusions. Grandmother will definitely not take you with her!"
"Stay and take good care of the General," Concubine Xiao said coldly.
Madam Yang was originally not very pleased about taking Concubine Xiao and the others with her, but now seeing Yun Shu and Yun Changfeng, father and daughter, facing the Emperor's condemnation alone, she felt much better.
She gloated at Yun Shu.
What if she was stunningly beautiful?
She was still not as good as her Yueyin!
Yun Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, then turned and left directly.
Since everything was resolved, why waste her breath talking to them?
The few people were stunned.
Concubine Xiao frowned tightly. She suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
But she could not pinpoint it.
Yun Shu and Yun Changfeng, father and daughter, appeared too calm, completely unruffled.
Hmph!
They must be faking it! It's impossible that they are truly not afraid!
Yun Changfeng, who had exited the room, walked to a hidden spot and leaped directly onto the rooftop.
Yun Shu stood below without a trace of movement, watching Yun Changfeng standing majestically on the rooftop.
On the glazed tiles, Yun Xiao Jing and Ruan Xi were no longer visible.
With Ruan Xi's Qinggong (martial arts skill for agility), she couldn't catch up with how fast he could escape.
Yun Changfeng's eyes were filled with frost as he scanned his surroundings.
The presence he had just sensed was long gone.
There had been people on the rooftop just now.
Seemingly more than one person.
They had escaped so quickly!
The moment he walked out of the room, the people on the rooftop were still there. By the time he leaped up, they had vanished without a trace.
In the capital, when had there been people with such excellent Qinggong?
Could the thief who stole the military seal be the person on the rooftop just now?
A moment later, he descended from the rooftop.
He walked side-by-side with Yun Shu.
"Father can now confirm that the military seal was indeed stolen and is not with your uncle," Yun Changfeng said solemnly.
Yun Shu smiled and nodded. "I know."
The military seal was in her hand, she knew better than anyone.
However, she could not return the military seal to him now. The military seal needed to be produced at the most crucial moment.
Yun Changfeng looked at Yun Shu with gentle and loving eyes. "My child is indeed intelligent!"
Yun Shu felt a little embarrassed by the praise. "It's alright, it's alright."
"Shu'er, are you not afraid of being condemned by the Emperor together with Father?" Yun Changfeng suddenly put away his smile, his expression becoming stern.
Yun Shu lowered her eyes. "Up to now, there are very few things that can make me afraid. Father, please rest assured, no matter what dangers lie ahead, we father and daughter will face them together."
Perhaps, the only thing that could make her afraid now was that Zhan Xiao Li would not recognize her as his mother.
Yun Changfeng's eyes welled up with tears, too moved for words.
This was his daughter!
She was willing to share life and death with him!
So brave!
