Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring
Chapter 98 Gentle, Insightful, and Frail Noblewoman 31
Blinded by hatred and consumed by thoughts of revenge, Yun Rong is no longer the same person he once was. The stunning young man of yesteryear is gone; all that remains is a walking corpse yearning for vengeance.
"Have you retrieved the Jiang family's belongings?" Yunrong asked.
Yan Jinyu shook her head, "No, that thing was hidden too well, and the Jiang family spent a lot of money to hire experts to oversee it, so I couldn't find it."
Yun Rong frowned. "Emperor Qing'an is only at his last gasp. If he falls critically ill, the capital will inevitably be in chaos. If a new emperor ascends the throne, it will be difficult for us to overturn the case. We must get the information as soon as possible."
A cold glint flashed in Yan Jinyu's eyes. "I know."
"Emperor Qing'an is seriously ill. I think that in a few days, someone will bring me to the palace. At that time, with the help of witnesses and evidence, we will surely be able to clear the Wang family's name." Yun Rong's eyes showed fervor.
Soon, everything will be cleared up, and Miss Wang Er will be able to rest in peace.
Even someone as composed as Yan Jinyu was somewhat excited at this moment.
He suppressed the agitation in his heart, looked at Yun Rong, and after circling the words on his lips a few times, finally asked, "Tell me the truth, is Lin Chuyun's illness truly incurable?"
Yun Rong looked up at Yan Jinyu, her eyes full of inquiry.
As Yan Jinyu grew older, his personality became more and more profound. Even though Yun Rong raised him single-handedly, it was difficult to find any flaws in his expression.
Yun Rong raised an eyebrow and asked, "You seem to care a lot about her?"
Yan Jinyu's hands, which were resting on her lap, tightened slightly, but her expression remained calm, as if it were just a casual question.
“I was being chased by the Jiang family a few days ago, and she saved me. If I can help her, we'll be even,” Yan Jinyu said calmly.
Yun Rong stared at him for a while before looking away.
"I see. But since you asked me to treat her today, you've already repaid that life-saving debt," Yun Rong said.
Yan Jinyu's expression remained unchanged: "Forget it, if there's nothing we can do, there's nothing we can do. Whether she lives or dies is none of my business."
Yun Rong smiled and said, "Look at you, you still can't take a joke. It's not that I don't want to save you, but that I have no way to save you."
"Everything I said today is true, there is no falsehood. I can't cure her illness, I can only use medicine to nourish her."
A chill ran down Yan Jinyu's back.
He knew Yun Rong had no reason to lie to him; it seemed everything was fate, and he couldn't help Lin Chuyun.
"Was it you and Jian Zhi who orchestrated Lin Chuyun's drowning?" Yun Rong suddenly asked.
Yan Jinyu's expression stiffened slightly, but she did not deny it. "Yes."
While Yun Rong was away on business, Yan Jinyu and Pei Jianzhi were in charge of all matters in the capital.
Yun Rong was unaware that Lin Chuyun had fallen into the water, but he could guess who was most willing and capable of ruining the marriage at this crucial moment when Lin Chuyun and Yan Huaiji were about to get married.
"You're confused! General Lin died on the battlefield, protecting the people of Great Yan from the suffering of war and also protecting your country. Yet you and Jian Zhi want to harm his only daughter!" Yun Rong said sternly.
If a person's fundamental nature is kind, no matter what they experience, they will not change much.
Yun Rong had studied medicine since childhood and was dedicated to helping the world. Although he was burdened with hatred, he was unwilling to commit cruel killings. Moreover, Yan Jinyu and Pei Jianzhi were the only relatives of Miss Wang Er in the world, and he did not want to see them become cruel and heartless people.
Yan Jinyu disagreed with Yun Rong's viewpoint. He believed that revenge required ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, and that any pity or sympathy was superfluous.
Three years ago, when Chu Yun came to Yun Rong for treatment, Yan Jinyu wanted Yun Rong to kill Chu Yun quietly, but Yun Rong refused.
If Chu Yun dies shortly after Yun Rong treats her, Yun Rong's reputation will be ruined, and then the biggest part of their revenge will be in trouble.
If it weren't for this reason, Yan Jinyu would have killed Chu Yun three years ago.
“Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. I am not wrong.” That’s what he said, but Yan Jinyu knew that he had already developed a sense of pity for Chu Yun. If he could do it all over again, he might not be so determined and unwavering.
“Jinyu, you’re too stubborn. This will ruin you,” Yunrong said.
"There's no harm involved. I know what I'm doing! It's none of your business," Yan Jinyu said coldly.
Yun Rong sighed deeply.
The child is grown up and has his own plans; he can't persuade him otherwise.
"That's enough. Just remember one thing: never go to extremes, or you'll regret it one day," he warned.
Yan Jinyu's mind was in turmoil, and she suddenly stood up.
"I'll go to the Jiang family again tonight and try to get my hands on the stuff. It's time to make a move on Jianzhi's side too." He said this and turned to leave.
Yunrong watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with uncontrollable worry.
Jianzhi is alright. He was still young when the Wang family had their accident and didn't remember many things. With his guidance, although he is cold-hearted, he is not someone who cannot distinguish between good and evil.
However, Jin Yu was already quite old at that time, and his hatred was deeply ingrained. Yun Rong feared that he would go further and further astray on the path of revenge, hurting himself and others.
"Amitabha Buddha, if you have spirits in heaven, please bless these two children so that they may be safe and sound. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with them for much longer."

That night, Yan Jinyu visited the Jiang residence again.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night was dark and windy. He sent people to burn down the Jiang family ancestral hall. After half of the people went to fight the flood, Yan Jinyu secretly sneaked into the study of Duke Jiang.
Yan Jinyu's spies in the Jiang residence reported back that there was a hidden door in the study of the Duke of Jiang.
That thing is so important, it's very likely that Duke Jiang would hide it in a secret room.
Although most of the guards in the mansion had gone to put out the fire, Yan Jinyu still didn't have much time left.
He proceeded cautiously, exploring the hidden doors and mechanisms bit by bit, but to no avail.
Just when he was at his wit's end, he heard footsteps outside the study.
Yan Jinyu hurriedly climbed onto the roof beam, pressed her body tightly against it, held her breath, and dared not make a sound.
The people of the Jiang family have realized that the fire at the ancestral hall might be a ploy to lure the enemy away from their base.
Jiang Guogong rushed into the study in a hurry.
He was still asleep when he heard the news of the fire. He was extremely anxious. He also remembered the thieves who had been around the Jiang residence a few days ago. His heart tightened, and he rushed over wearing only an outer garment.
His steps were unsteady, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, showing how anxious he was.
Yan Jinyu watched Jiang Guogong's actions quietly. She saw Jiang Guogong lift the calligraphy and painting on the wall. Because it was in a blind spot, Yan Jinyu could not see Jiang Guogong's movements, but in the next instant, she saw a hidden door appear next to the calligraphy and painting.
Yan Jinyu's heart skipped a beat.
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
Jiang Guogong actually handed him the opportunity that could destroy the Jiang family.
It was also Chiang Kai-shek's family that deserved to perish!
Jiang Guogong went in for a quarter of an hour and came out very quickly.
When he came out, his expression was noticeably more relaxed than before.
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the study.
