Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Chapter 69 Can we please stop talking about our past?

A fleeting look of panic crossed the man's eyes, but then he remembered what the mysterious man had once told him: Cheng Yunmo was simple-minded and not a smart person, so there was nothing to worry about in front of her.

What the man didn't know was that although Cheng Yunmo wasn't very smart, the two old ladies beside her were no pushovers.

"Hey, you lad outside, you don't think that just because you're being disrespectful to our Lord Cheng in our courtyard, we two old ladies are just sitting around doing nothing, just listening to what you're told, do you?"

The old lady of the Yu family spoke up.

Although she was an old woman, she was a reasonable person. These people clearly had ill intentions towards Lord Cheng and wanted to bully him.

Although I've never seen what this middle-aged man looks like, judging from the tone of his voice just now, I know he's up to no good.

Feng Sai glanced at the clothes he was wearing and said with a disdainful look, "I thought it was someone important, but it's just an old lady. Cheng Yunmo, you really are useless now. You need an old lady to stand up for you for everything you do?"

Just as Cheng Yunmo was about to say something, he saw the door open, and the two elderly ladies, supporting each other, walked out.

When Cheng Yunmo saw the two elderly women, he quickly went forward to help, but they waved their hands and said it wasn't necessary.

"Feng Sai, so your clothes have your own name on them."

The old lady of the Yu family suddenly looked at the man's clothes and noticed that there was a name on the cuff of his clothes.

Feng Sai's expression changed immediately; clearly, it really was his name.

The old lady of the Zhang family seemed to have thought of something bad. She frowned and looked at Feng Sai, "You are the Empress Dowager's people. You came from the modern world. Did you commit some mistake in the modern world, which is why you were transported here?"

Feng Sai was stunned, because he did not expect that in such a simple place, he would meet such an unassuming old lady who knew about modern times and their identities.

He certainly couldn't admit it, nor could he let others think that he knew the inside story.

"You're talking nonsense!"

The old lady of the Zhang family was only testing him, but Feng Sai was not a very smart person. The smart people present noticed something from his attitude and words.

A bad feeling welled up in Cheng Yunmo's heart. If the old lady of the Zhang family said that, then does anyone in the modern world know about the Empress Dowager's abilities and what she is doing?

When the Empress Dowager stole grain, transported many modern items, and even sent some people to the Xu Kingdom, she was no ordinary person.

The old lady from the Yu family came to Cheng Yunmo's side, seemingly seeing through her thoughts.

"Let's take it one step at a time, there's no rush."

Cheng Yunmo composed herself and stood beside the old lady of the Yu family.

The old lady of the Yu family saw this and, thinking of Zhenying, the maidservant by Lord Cheng's side, she went to say goodbye to her when she left, hoping that he would protect Lord Cheng.

Mu Yun rushed over at this moment, because he really didn't want to face Cheng Yunmo, who was rumored to be his future wife.

Cheng Yunmo was really not good-looking and was too old. He didn't look like himself at all, only in his twenties.

He wouldn't have come over if these people hadn't fallen in the wrong place.

"Alright, Feng, shut up!"

Mu Yun didn't want to stay in the same courtyard as Cheng Yunmo, so she prepared to lead the others away.

As a result, Feng Sai was very dissatisfied and stared coldly at Mu Yun, "Didn't you say you liked Cheng Yunmo a lot? Why don't you like him anymore?"

Everyone stared at Mu Yun, whose expression was extremely awkward.

"Shut up! She's a thirty-year-old woman, and she's ugly. How could I possibly like her!"

The others subconsciously looked at Cheng Yunmo, because Cheng Yunmo really didn't look good.

Cheng Yunmo's heart tightened; the way everyone was looking at her made her feel truly uncomfortable.

When the old lady of the Yu family heard Mu Yun come over and say such things about Lord Cheng in front of everyone, she couldn't help but look Mu Yun up and down.

"Mu Yun, what are you pretending to be stupid for? Lady Cheng is like this because of you. You killed her. She was originally beautiful. You mentioned her age, why don't you mention that you came here before you married Lady Cheng!"

Cheng Yunmo could tell that the disdain in Mu Yun's eyes was genuine. She didn't care how Mu Yun viewed her; what she cared more about was the embarrassment he had caused her.

I do feel ashamed, but after making so many embarrassing mistakes, I stop caring.

"Mu Yun, you don't need to say this to me in front of everyone. I died at your hands, so young, before you. You had that old woman suppress my soul, preventing me from reincarnating and causing strange changes around me. Now my soul is burdened by the desolate mountains, so heavy that it won't become the kind of soul you and the old woman thought it was, scattered and gone. Who knows if this isn't fate?"

Mu Yun feared fate. Cheng Yunmo should not have had any chance of living, but he himself, who was supposed to be dead, had come to Xu Kingdom. And now, there was an extra Cheng Yunmo in Xu Kingdom.

He was terrified, terrified of this woman whose soul had been scattered.

"You, you've become like this because you disobeyed. If you had obeyed, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Now you want revenge? Hmph, do you know who the Empress Dowager is? She's a very wealthy person!"

Feng Sai was very dissatisfied. He liked watching Mu Yun pursue Cheng Yunmo, but he didn't like Mu Yun giving up on Cheng Yunmo.

He was dissatisfied because there was no good show.

"It's not just about having money. Are you sure what she's doing right now is really appropriate?"

Mu Yun remained silent, because she had met the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager in her modern days.

They live exceptionally well because of Liang Yu's son in modern times. For some reason, Liang Yu seems to have exceptionally good luck.

Cheng Yunmo said this, and he also felt that the Empress Dowager seemed to be plotting something.

Cheng Yunmo had no choice. If it were before, she could have criticized Mu Yun for what had happened in the past, but she couldn't now.

She didn't know why, but she just felt that modern people must have been treated very well by others; otherwise, she wouldn't have met so many kind people in Xu Kingdom.

Cheng Yunmo would never forget that in the virtual panel, in that small space, there were some strange seeds, those seeds seemed to be newly researched seeds.

It was something that took a lot of effort to make, and I always felt that someone from that side was helping me.

So, she was curious about what was happening in the modern world.

Cheng Yunmo felt that Mu Yun was the only source of information about the present that she could get from him, and that she should not dwell on the past.
