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

The butler was still hesitant.

Yan Yunshu's expression turned cold, and she continued, "Could it be that in the housekeeper's eyes, my status as a legitimate daughter is not as good as that of a concubine?"

"I dare not, I dare not, but my aunt has repeatedly told me that any disposition of personnel in the mansion must be approved by her."

"Really? Now I'm telling you again and again, who are you listening to?"

The housekeeper's eyes were erratic, "Miss, please don't embarrass me."

"I know what you're thinking. You think I'm a girl about to get married. Even if I have great power in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's only temporary. On the other hand, my aunt is the Prime Minister's long-term supporter, right?"

The housekeeper's expression changed drastically. He didn't dare look at Yan Yunshu. He just kept bowing his head and begging for mercy. "Young lady, I have old people and young children to support, and a whole family depends on me for support. I really don't want to take the risk and gamble with the lives of my entire family. Please forgive me, young lady."

"How can you be so sure that Auntie will be the long-term supporter of the Xiangfu? After all, you are also an old man in our Xiangfu. You have seen so many people and things. You should be more clear-headed than anyone else."

"Miss, I am old and no longer as sharp-eyed and sharp-eared as before. Now I just want to survive and don't want to implicate my family. I hope you will let me go."

The housekeeper's eyes were cloudy, but his mind was clear. For the past three years, the eldest daughter had been crazy and stupid, and had been manipulated by others. Even if she suddenly woke up and cheered up now, who could predict how long this situation would last? If it was just a flash in the pan, with the cruelty of the concubine, he would definitely end up with his family destroyed.

Yan Yunshu did not get angry at the old housekeeper's refusal, but laughed instead.

"Mr. He, Yunshu is not stupid. I have long expected your attitude. This time, I just want to see if Mr. He will paint a big cake for me and try to please both sides. Old housekeeper, thank you for saving Nanny Lin's life today. I will not pursue the past. I just hope that you can see the world clearly in the future and be true to your conscience. Help Yunshu if you can. Yunshu is a person who knows how to be grateful and when to retreat."

The old housekeeper blushed and smiled at Yan Yunshu embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, young lady. I'm just an ordinary person. I have many considerations and can only speak the truth. Thank you for your magnanimity and for not arguing with me. In the future, if there is anything I can help you with, I will definitely do my best."

Yan Yunshu nodded.

"Ms. Yunshu, what do you want to do with those people?"

"They insulted me with words that were extremely disrespectful. I have locked them up in the woodshed. Please keep them under good care, my housekeeper."

When talking about the word "good life", Yan Yunshu emphasized the tone.

The housekeeper was clear-headed and quickly agreed.

"Okay, girl, I will definitely take care of this little thing..."

Yan Yunshu and the old housekeeper chatted briefly before leaving. She walked through the snow, around the main hall, and toward the Plum Forest Courtyard. It was almost noon, the sun had already set, and the sky was pitch black, as if it was going to snow again.

She quickened her pace, but vaguely saw two figures in front of her. She couldn't see their faces clearly, but she knew they were a man and a woman. When she got closer, she suddenly heard the voice of her brother Yan Yunyi.

"Don't worry, Yao'er, brother will definitely make Shu'er change her mind."

Yan Yunshu's heart sank, a chill spread from the bottom of her heart, and she almost couldn't walk.

The two of them also saw her at this time, and the three of them finally approached.

When Yan Yunyi saw Yan Yunshu from afar, he was filled with anger and impatience at the thought that she was actually going to take away Yao'er's residence. But the moment he saw Yan Yunshu up close, his eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils were full of astonishment.

It was as if time had frozen at that moment, and everything around him had become silent. His mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out, as if under a spell.

The strong feeling of bitterness in my heart came flooding out again.

"Shu'er..." He murmured his sister's name. The scene three years ago suddenly emerged in his mind, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

The Yan Yunshu in front of him looked exactly the same as she did three years ago, except that her youthfulness and childishness had faded away, and her eyes and heart were filled with joy and expectation for her brother, but with a fragility and pain that only her brother could understand.

"Shu'er..." Yan Yunyi came forward and reached out to touch Yan Yunshu's hair.

Suddenly he heard Yan Shuyao calling out from beside him. His head felt like it was exploding, and the familiar feeling of being pulled and confused came back. After a moment, his eyes regained the determination to seek justice for Yan Shuyao.

"Brother Yi." Yan Shuyao called him again and again.

"Yao'er!" Yan Yunyi covered his temples, feeling very uncomfortable. "I don't know what's wrong with me, but I suddenly have a severe headache."

"Brother Yunyi, is this because of what Yao'er just said? Brother, don't worry about Yao'er. Yao'er's place was just taken away by someone, but Yao'er still has a brother who cares about her. As long as you have a brother who loves you, you should be content. You don't need the other sisters."

"Yao'er, don't worry, brother will never let you suffer any injustice."

As Yan Yunyi spoke, his headache eased a lot. He let out a long breath and looked at Yan Yunshu.

"Shu'er, even though you're only a few days older than Yao'er, you're still the older sister. An older sister should give in to her younger sister. How could you possibly snatch things from her?"

"What did I fight with her for?"

"The yard Yao'er lives in now was the one you promised her yourself. How can you go back on your word now? Don't be so ignorant and only know how to bully your sister." Yan Yunyi's expression turned cold, and the more he spoke, the more determined he became to make the decision for Yan Shuyao.

"You guys are always talking nonsense. You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? Letting her live here means you're giving her the yard?"

Yan Yunshu's short words made sense.

Yan Yunyi frowned and looked at Yan Shuyao, who was weak and still coughing. Yan Shuyao's big eyes were filled with tears.

Tears falling one by one, so pitiful.
