After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

The content of the letter came to me, those familiar words.

It made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life.

The letter reads:

"Yun Shu, I know that in your heart, I am just a stranger who has only met you a few times, but you have already lived in my heart for years. Now your wedding is approaching, but my brother, the Crown Prince, has been entangled with General He. Even if he has made countless clarifications, what will it matter? He has completely disregarded your reputation. Why bother to join him in this turmoil and face the world's abuse and accusations? Why not stay by my side, you and I, and spend our lives together in Maple Forest City? Yun Shu, the current situation may seem peaceful, but undercurrents surge. The jade buildings and jade palaces may be reduced to rubble in an instant, and the prosperous world may fall into the flames of war. Only I am willing to do my utmost to protect you and your family. Will you stand by my side, hand in hand with you, and rise to a high position together, fearless of the current situation? I speak these words sincerely, every word from the heart, and I hope you will believe me. Ye."

Two lines of small print are attached below.

"I enclose the prince's jade pendant as a token of my true love."

"To protect the country and the family, regardless of life or death."

Yan Yunshu's hand trembled violently, and she shook the jade pendant out of the envelope.

It is Xu Jingye’s smooth white jade pendant.

The words "Huohua" are engraved on the jade pendant.

It was the jade pendant that she had once sought but could not obtain, and could not even touch. It was also the jade pendant that she had thrown away, but was picked up by her grandfather and put back to her.

Now, as if it were fate, it has fallen into her hands.

She looked at it and reflexively dropped it onto the mat.

My head suddenly felt dizzy.

In her previous life, the scene of her throwing the smooth white jade pendant into the snow suddenly emerged in her mind.

She quickly picked it up.

It can no longer be the same as before.

She placed the jade pendant and the letter into the envelope, took a deep breath, and shouted outside, "Xiulian!"

Xiulian agreed and went into the house.

Yan Yunshu handed the resealed envelope to Yu Xiulian and said, "Give it back to the housekeeper and return it to where it came from."

Xiulian took the letter and was wondering.

Yan Yunyi's voice came from outside the house.

"Sister, are you asleep?"

Yan Yunshu signaled Xiulian to put the letter away, stood up and opened the door under the watery moonlight.

She stood in front of the door and smiled at Yan Yunyi, "Brother."

Yan Yunyi hurried forward and pulled her to the pavilion outside the house, "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Yan Yunshu looked at Xiulian who was standing beside her and said, "Go get busy."

After taking another look at the letter Xiulian was holding, Xiulian quickly agreed and headed towards the manager's office.

Only two siblings are left.

They looked at each other, Yan Yunyi seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"younger sister……"

"What's wrong?" Yan Yunshu looked at Yan Yunyi in confusion.

Yan Yunyi was seen gritting his teeth, looking very embarrassed.

"Today, while inspecting the city gate, my brother saw a woman older than me rushing up to me and saying, 'Say...'"

When Yan Yunshu heard this, the woman next to the butcher whom she saw yesterday appeared in front of her and her brows tightened.

"say what."

"I don't know how that woman got to know about the past events in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She's spouting nonsense, saying that our half-sister Yan Shuyao was killed by Shu'er."

Yan Yunyi spoke angrily, his brows and eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"How ridiculous! What happened to Yan Shuyao was clearly the work of her father, Yan Feng. The evidence is irrefutable."

Yan Yunshu sneered, "How's that woman?"

Yan Yunyi's face was full of seriousness. "He was taken away by a butcher from the east end of the city. He said he was a slave in his family. His brain has been damaged for many years, and now it's getting worse."

"Then...do you believe what that woman said, brother?"

Yan Yunyi glanced at Yan Yunshu and shook his head vigorously, "Of course I don't believe it."

"Since you don't believe it..." Yan Yunshu raised her eyes and looked at Yan Yunyi, "Why bother asking me?"

As she spoke, Yan Yunshu poured Yan Yunyi a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Since you came to me for this matter, you must have some concerns."

Yan Yunyi was surprised. He knew his sister was smart, but he didn't know she was so smart.

He was indeed worried that his sister was involved in Yan Shuyao's death. That day, he saw with his own eyes Yan Yunshu sneaking into Meilin Courtyard with a brocade box.

He kept this matter in his heart.

He thought that he was the only one who knew.

But I never expected that an unknown woman would suddenly appear today and talk nonsense.

He knew that even if the golden hairpin was left in Meilin Courtyard by his sister, she would not be implicated in this matter.

But he was still worried.

The current situation is not favorable to my sister. It is very difficult with General He around. If that woman causes trouble again, I don’t know how my sister can bear it.

The worry and fierceness in his eyes were beyond words.

"Brother, I'm going to shut that woman up forever."

Then he made a gesture as if to cut off the throat with one sword.

Yan Yunshu shook her head and smiled, "Brother, there's no need to be like this. Even if she stirs up trouble again, so what? Yan Shuyao's death was caused by Yan Feng alone. It has nothing to do with the twists and turns involved. Besides, she's just a down-and-out woman in the dust and mud. You don't need to do anything, I can handle it myself."

Yan Yunyi looked at Yan Yunshu, who looked confident.

relieved.

"That's good, I can feel more at ease now."

It was late at night.

Xiulian has returned to the hospital from the steward's office.

Yan Yunyi looked up at the moon, then looked at Yan Yunshu with heartache.

Finally he stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early, sister."

As he spoke, he patted Yan Yunshu's head again.

Turned to leave.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard Yan Yunshu calling from behind.

"elder brother."

Yan Yunyi turned around.

Yan Yunshu bit her lip and asked, "Do you think my sister is cruel?"

In this life, Yan Yunyi had never seen Yan Shuyao's evil deeds, and Yan Shuyao had no time to do anything to him.

In this case, does my brother think Yan Shuyao is innocent and that he is cruel?

She wasn't sure. She knew that the way she handled the situation at that time was anxious, but she couldn't care less.

She wanted to save her mother and also wanted Yan Shuyao's death to end everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Otherwise, if she threw away the golden hairpin that day, no one in the prime minister's mansion would be injured or killed, but in the near future, it would be her mother, her, and her brother who would die.

But only she knows what may happen in the future, her brother does not know.

Will my brother...

"Shu'er, even if Shu'er killed her with her own hands, brother would never think that Shu'er was cruel."

Yan Yunyi spoke seriously and came to Yan Yunshu again.

He raised his hand and tried to wipe away the sadness from the corners of her eyes.

"Shu'er, no matter what you do, brother will stand by you. Shu'er, never have any doubts or hesitations about this."

As he spoke, Yan Yunyi pursed his lips.

He patted Yan Yunshu's forehead and said, "I just hope that Shu'er won't hide all her worries in her heart and bear them alone. In everything, I still have my brother."

Yan Yunshu raised her eyes and looked at Yan Yunyi, feeling warm in her heart.

It’s so good, this life is so good.

I hope she can keep this best life and have a perfect ending.

……

The next morning.

Yan Yunshu had just finished washing up and was on her way to the dining hall when she heard three or five maids and servants gathered not far away, talking in low voices.

"I heard that yesterday, there was a fire at the residence of Lord He, the Director of the Ministry of Works' Water Conservancy Bureau! The fire broke out in the courtyard of Lord He's concubine, He Zhixiao, and General He!"
