The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Upon receiving the guard's report, Yun Weishan frowned. Right now, she really didn't want to deal with Gong Ziyu.

Wu Feng's mission was no longer important; what she cared about more was her younger sister, who was far away in Yunxi Town.

Shangguan Qian raised her eyebrows slightly. She held a book and leaned against the soft couch, looking extremely relaxed and comfortable.

"Sister Yun, Young Master Yu has arrived. Hurry up and greet him. Judging from this, he won't leave until he sees you."

Yun Weishan naturally knew that after spending so many days with Gong Ziyu, she had pretty much figured out his personality.

She is simple and innocent, easy to talk to, but also very stubborn.

If she really didn't go to see him, he would probably just keep waiting outside.

With Hongyu guarding him, he couldn't break in, but if something happened, the palace might not say anything on the surface, but would secretly plot against him.

Yun Weishan sighed, put down the book in her hand, and stood up.

We're currently cooperating with the palace, so we can't afford to have a strained relationship. We still need to persuade Young Master Yu to leave.

She said to herself in her heart.

Not far from the courtyard, there happened to be a small hill, and Xue Gongzi was standing behind a camellia on the hill.

With a swish, he quickly flipped through the storybook to the scene where the male and female protagonists broke up, his eyes fixed intently on Gong Ziyu at the door.

His every move was observed by Jin Chao, whose lips twitched.

Kid, you should at least tone down your behavior a little. Didn't you see Jin Fan glaring at you?

After waiting for a while, Yun Weishan finally came out of the courtyard.

Seeing Gong Ziyu's sickly appearance, Yun Weishan was also taken aback.

He's sick, and he's really sick.

Gong Ziyu also saw her and immediately smiled. He quickly walked a few steps to Yun Weishan and took her hand.

"Are you alright? Did Gong Zishang and Gong Yuanzheng give you any trouble?"

Yun Weishan gently shook her head. "Young Master Yu, I'm fine."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Young Master Yu, you are still ill and shouldn't be here. You should go back as soon as possible."

Gong Ziyu held her hand firmly, his face resolute.

"Come on, Ayun, come back to the Feather Palace with me."

With that, he walked out.

Jin Chao stepped forward and blocked Gong Ziyu's path.

Jin Fan immediately stepped between the two, fearing they might start fighting over a single word.

Gong Ziyu was filled with rage when he saw Jin Chao. It was this lackey, A Yun, who had been spying on him all along.

"Get out of my way! I'm taking Ayun back to the Feather Palace right now."

Jin Chao's expression remained unchanged, forever neither humble nor arrogant.

“Young Master Yu, Miss Yun Weishan is the assassin Wufeng; she cannot leave this courtyard.”

Gong Ziyu seemed not to hear him and repeated her purpose, "I'm taking her back to Yu Palace now!"

Jin Chao didn't speak, but his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

Jin Fan was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. Jin Chao's martial arts skills were far superior to his own; he couldn't defeat him.

Gong Ziyu pursed her lips and pushed Yun Weishan behind her.

Today, no matter what, he must bring A-Yun back to the Feather Palace, even if it means bloodshed.

He didn't believe that the Gongzi Chamber of Commerce would take his life.

Yun Weishan sighed and tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail.

She watched Gong Ziyu's retreating figure, "Young Master Yu, why deceive yourself?"

Gong Ziyu's eyes immediately reddened, and he turned to look at Yun Weishan, who had an indifferent expression.

"Ah Yun, I don't care, I don't care who you are, I only know that you are my Ah Yun."

"Come back to the Feather Palace with me. The Feather Palace is bigger than here. I'll stay with you there forever, okay?"

Yun Weishan didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

Gong Ziyu's words also showed that he was well aware of Yun Weishan's identity and her current situation.

Assassins without weapons are not allowed to freely enter and exit the palace gates. Her current confinement in this small courtyard is a form of house arrest.

Since they're both under house arrest, why can't they stay in the Feather Palace?

Yun Weishan didn't want to get entangled with him at the door. She looked into Gong Ziyu's eyes, calmly spoke, and directly stated her identity.

"I am Wufeng, and my purpose in entering the palace is to marry the young master of the palace."

“My initial target was your brother, Gong Huanyu. I was the one who poisoned Miss Jiang.”

"My initial fear and attempt to run away were all an act; my real purpose was to find the secret passage leading from the palace gates to the outside."

"Becoming your bride is also part of my plan, the purpose of which is to stay in the palace."

"From beginning to end, you were just a tool I left at the palace gates."

Gong Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears, and the brokenness in her eyes made Yun Weishan unable to bear to look at her.

He shook his head, completely ignoring Yun Weishan's words.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Ayun, I don't believe you have no feelings for me."

“I don’t care who you are, Ayun, you are my bride.”

"She is only my bride!"

"Come back to the Feather Palace with me, Ayun. You're all I have left. Come back to the Feather Palace with me."

Yun Weishan's eyes trembled slightly at his words, but she still resolutely withdrew her hand.

"Young Master Yu, I don't like you, I've never liked you."

"I will not go back to the Feather Palace with you, not now, and not in the future."

After saying these words, she resolutely turned around, ignoring Gong Ziyu's pained expression, and walked back to the courtyard step by step.

A trickle of blood oozed from Gong Ziyu's mouth.

"Young Master!" Jin Fan immediately stepped forward to support Gong Ziyu, looking at him with great concern.

Gong Ziyu wiped the blood from his lips, a madness flashing in his eyes. He didn't linger at the door and turned to walk outside.

The courtyard gate was already closed. Yun Weishan listened to the footsteps fading away outside, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

Shangguan Qian leaned against the railing, smiling as she looked at Yun Weishan.

"What a deeply affectionate young master! Sister Yun, are you truly unmoved at all?"

"Judging from how the palace gates treat us now, they probably won't make things difficult for us once Wufeng is wiped out."

As the saying goes: It's easy to get priceless treasures, but hard to find a loving husband.

"Since Young Master Yu is so affectionate, why don't you accept him, sister? You can become a perfect couple in the future."

Yun Weishan looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and warmly, making her feel comfortable all over. But her heart remained as cold as frost.

In the dimly lit room, the training continued day after day, and even watching the sunrise was a luxury.

She admitted that she was deeply moved by Gong Ziyu's words.

He didn't care about her identity or her past; he only loved her wholeheartedly and loved her as a person.

For a fleeting moment, I had the urge to be with him regardless of everything.

But it was just an impulse after all, and their identities doomed them to a bad end.

If she really was just an ordinary girl.

Her relationship with Gong Ziyu wasn't based on much scheming.

Perhaps, she and Gong Ziyu will become just another ordinary engaged couple in this world.

Yun Weishan looked at Shangguan Qian and asked in return, "What about you? Will you be with Gong Shangjiao?"

"Me and Gong Shangjiao?" Shangguan Qian raised an eyebrow, resting her chin on her right hand.

After a moment of silence, he chuckled softly, "There is absolutely no possibility between him and me."

Between her and Gong Shangjiao, there is not only the opposition between the Gongmen and Wufeng, but also the grudges between the Gongmen and Gushan Sect.

It was the palace's inaction that led to the destruction of the Lonely Mountain Sect, and her parents and relatives all perished in that great battle.

How could she possibly continue to get along with Miyazaki without any barriers?

If the tragedy of ten years ago had not happened, there might still be a chance for her and Gong Shangjiao, but the one thing that doesn't exist in this world is "what if".
