Truly heartless!
It was understandable that Yun Dezhi and Aunt Xiao wanted to drive her away; after all, her presence was certainly an obstacle for them.
But Old Madam Yun was the original owner's grandmother.
Tsk tsk, even colder than Yun Dezhi and the others.
Deep within Yun Shu's eyes, coldness flared.
"What do you mean 'my father'? You are not Yun Shu at all! You're a thief, trying to impersonate Yun Shu and become the young lady of our General's Mansion! Someone, quickly, take her to the authorities!" Aunt Xiao ordered the servants at the door, her voice laced with urgency.
If the person before them was indeed Yun Shu, then they absolutely could not let the master see Yun Shu! They absolutely could not let Yun Shu return, otherwise her Ying'er's position in the General's Mansion would be too awkward!
A good marriage was about to be arranged for Ying'er, and Yun Shu must not ruin it!
The suitor was interested precisely because Ying'er was the General's only daughter!
"That's right! Don't even think about impersonating Yun Shu!" Yun Dezhi roared, his voice filled with imposing authority.
Old Madam Yun didn't even want to spare Yun Shu a glance, waving her hand dismissively.
"No one will force the mistress away!" Jing Heng blocked Yun Shu's path, his gaze cold as he stared at the servants who were approaching.
The servants stopped.
They were startled by Jing Heng's gaze.
Where had they ever seen eyes that could strike such fear into one's heart at first sight? They were so terrified they dared not move.
At this moment.
A tall, thin figure, like a gust of wind, rushed in from the doorway.
He ran to Yun Shu's side.
On his haggard yet resolute face, two lines of tears of emotion streamed down.
"My dearest child!"
"How could you bear to leave your father for so many years!"
His heart ached.
Who would have thought that this was the Zhennan Great General who, in his day, had made enemy soldiers tremble and flee the battlefield in terror?
Who would have thought?!
Yun Shu was rarely taken aback. And this was the first time in her life that someone had called her "dearest child."
According to the original owner's memories, this father had always been loving. Whenever he was in the capital and at home, he would pour all his attention into accompanying the original owner!
He truly played the role of both father and mother. Even when the original owner was foolish, this middle-aged man, who was now crying with tears streaming down his face and an expression of helplessness, had never considered remarrying or having more intelligent children.
But this scene, let alone her, even the original owner rarely witnessed.
It was too pitiful!
Yun Shu, unable to bear seeing people cry, reached out and patted Yun Changfeng's back, softly coaxing, "Father, don't cry. I've returned safe and sound, and, my illness is cured!"
Yes, illness! The original owner had been poisoned since childhood, which was why she had grown increasingly foolish.
Yun Changfeng's eyes widened, "You're really cured?"
The immense joy, like a windfall, struck Yun Changfeng.
It dazed the father, who had suffered for the past four to five years.
"Finally, your father has waited for this! From now on, your father won't go to war. He'll stay with you! From now on, no one will ever dare bully you!" Yun Changfeng wiped away his tears, his sobs turning into laughter. But because his face was wet with tears, even after wiping, it still glistened with moisture.
Yun Shu took a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from Yun Changfeng's face, "Father, don't cry. I can protect myself now."
"It's my fault! If your father hadn't been away fighting battles all the time, leaving you alone at home, how could you have left in a fit of anger for years?" Yun Changfeng's eyes reddened again as he spoke of his sorrow.
Yun Shu saw that he was about to cry again. She had originally wanted to say that she hadn't left in a fit of anger, but that someone had harmed her and pushed her off a cliff. But now, comforting him and stopping his tears was the most important thing.
Just as she was about to speak.
Someone broke the tender moment of father and daughter reuniting.
"She's not Yun Shu! Master, you must not be deceived!"
