After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

The incident happened suddenly, and the woman was caught off guard, falling flat on her backside.

The woman accompanying him was also taken aback, and immediately reached out her hand when she saw the person on the ground.

"mother."

The woman who had fallen to the ground was furious. She immediately stood up and glared angrily at Yan Yun.

"Such rudeness? Do you even know who I am?"

Yan Yun pushed her to the ground, his face showing no emotion.

The other party became even angrier.

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Yan Yun's hand.

Yan Yun stepped aside.

The woman was both angry and anxious.

"You, summon everyone from your household here."

The woman standing nearby immediately stopped the woman and whispered a reminder, "Mother, maybe she didn't mean it."

"Isn't it intentional? She clearly did it on purpose."

The woman grew angrier as she spoke. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, then said to Yan Yun, "Bring the person who brought you here. I want to see how she explains herself."

The passing maids, hearing the commotion, immediately rushed over from the side.

"Miss."

The maid didn't recognize the woman, but seeing her mistress being bullied, she immediately called for help.

The maids and servants immediately surrounded them.

Upon hearing the news, the concubine rushed over and instructed the maid beside her to take the young lady aside.

She looked at the angry woman in front of her.

"My daughter bumped into the guest. She has a mischievous nature, please forgive her."

The woman's expression immediately changed, her previous imperious manner vanished, and she responded to the concubine with a smile, "It was my poor eyesight; I didn't realize that this was today's birthday girl, Miss Zheng."

She bent down slightly and smiled at Yan Yun.

"Is her name Ning'er?"

She even called Yan Yun by his nickname, hoping to get closer to him, but Yan Yun didn't even glance at her.

According to the concubine, Yan Yun was a lively person. Because it was her birthday, she had a lot of fun. As elders, they couldn't possibly argue with this young girl. After exchanging a few words, they gathered together again because of the concubine.

Yan Yun glared at them fiercely, then pushed aside the maid who was blocking her way and walked forward.

The concubine was watching her every move. She noticed Yan Yun's gaze but couldn't lash out. She gave a wink to the maid beside her.

The maids immediately followed Yan Yun.

If that person hadn't spoken ill of him, Yan Yun wouldn't have chosen to attack her.

Moreover, Yan Yun hasn't even made a scene yet.

Just as Yan Yun continued walking forward, another mother and daughter walked towards her.

The woman called out to Yan Yun.

"May I ask which family you belong to? You look unfamiliar."

The maids stepped forward to respond, "Miss is the daughter of Courtyard Zheng."

The woman responded with an "oh".

"So you are Zheng Ning'er."

Yan Yun looked up at her. She was tall with a round face. She stood in front of Yan Yun, completely blocking his view.

Yan Yun glanced at her, but didn't recognize her.

The woman looked at Yan Yun with some curiosity. She moved closer to him and asked, "Why aren't you answering? Hmm?"

The maids immediately came to the rescue, quickly saying, "Miss hasn't been feeling well lately."

The woman smiled dismissively.

"Really?"

The woman next to her tugged at her.

She glanced back and changed her mind, "Then, would it be alright if we could have tea together sometime, Ms. Zheng?"

After saying this, she and the woman bypassed Yan Yun and went to where the ladies were.

Yan Yun's idea of ​​leaving the mansion was abandoned when he saw the guards standing on the left and right sides of the back gate.

They were prepared. "Miss, the master has ordered that you are not allowed to go out today."

The maid following behind kept saying, "Miss, it would be better if you stayed at the manor for your birthday."

The courtyards, except for Zheng Jihua's study and the courtyard where his concubine lived, were teeming with people.

The maids kept asking Yan Yun.

"Miss, won't you go to the front yard? They've set up a stage there today and invited a lot of people; it's going to be very lively."

They wanted to go see it too, so they tried their best to persuade Yan Yun to go out with them.

Yan Yun also knew what they wanted to do.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to go out in front of people.

She thought she would go to the rockery in the garden, where no one would bother her. She went to the garden and climbed up behind the rockery.

The maidservant beside her said, "Miss, shall we go to the front hall together?"

Yan Yun ignored him, turned around, and closed his eyes.

The maids didn't dare to make a move, and exchanged glances. "Go and report the young lady's location to the steward," one of them said.

"Yes."

Just when Yan Yun thought things would quiet down a bit.

People will naturally come to the garden too.

Not far away, a woman's voice came, and the name she cursed made Yan Yun open his slightly narrowed eyes.

“Mother, Shi Yunjun is not a good man. He forcibly took other women and even beat one of their fathers to death in the street. Father, you still want me to marry such a person. I don’t want to.”

The woman was somewhat displeased, clearly reluctant to discuss the topic, and her tone carried a hint of reproach.

"Why are you bringing this up here? We can't discuss it outside. Let's talk about it when we get back to the manor."

The woman did not listen.

“When we got back to the manor, you were all focused on your father and didn’t listen to anything I said at all.”

The woman's expression was stern as she coldly rebuked, "Shut up!"

“No, Father is trying to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, so he wants me to marry into a living hell.”

The woman's displeasure turned into rage, and she twisted the woman's arm, saying, "If you don't want to stay here, then go back."

The woman remained unmoved, and even though the woman used force, she managed to make her yield slightly.

After twisting the cloth, the woman looked at her again and said softly, "The Shi family is currently at the height of its power. If you marry into that family, you will be the principal wife. Those women don't even have the position of concubine. Why don't you marry into it?"

She looked around and, seeing no one approaching, said sternly, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Are you going to disobey your parents?"

The woman said aggrievedly, "But daughter, I also want to find a good man, and Shi Yunjun is definitely not a good man for you."

The woman lost her patience. "Outside, I told you not to talk about what your father has already decided. The date is getting closer and closer. If you keep making trouble, I'll send you back to the manor. You won't be allowed to come out again until the wedding."

The woman seemed resigned to her fate and stopped replying.

The woman also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your father and I would never harm you."

The woman lowered her head.

"Mother, you go ahead, my stomach is a little uncomfortable."

The lady's expression changed again, and she spoke gently to the woman: "You've been eating too much and you're craving something. Find a maid to lead the way. I'll go to the backyard and see who else is coming. I'll wait for you there."

"Yes, daughter will come to see mother in a little while."

As soon as the woman left, the woman looked around.

When Yan Yun heard her mention Shi Yunjun, she was reminded of the guy who had beaten the old man to death in public. Was it the same person?

She glanced at the woman, who looked frail and stayed where she was, not trying to leave, but standing there weeping, wiping her eyes with her handkerchief again and again, but the tears never stopped.

Even if you don't want to get married, you still have to.

Yan Yun lowered his head.

"Yu Zhi".

The sudden male voice made Yan Yun look over.

Even male servants of Zheng Yuan are not allowed to enter at will today, so how could there be a man's voice?

Yan Yun looked in the direction where the voice was coming from.

But then she saw a figure dressed as a maid, yet incongruously tall, standing in front of the woman.

The woman bumped headfirst into the maid's arms.

The maid's hand, hanging limply to the side, didn't dare to touch her shoulder.

Just as Yan Yun was still secretly watching her, a maid came to deliver a message that Zheng Jihua was looking for her.

"Miss, the master has been asking you to come over."

The maid's voice immediately alerted the woman to the presence of other people nearby.

The gaze turned toward where Yan Yun was, and the two who had been standing close together immediately separated.

Yan Yun turned around and looked at the maid.

Her voice is indeed very loud.

The maid, unaware that there were others nearby, said to Yan Yun, "Miss, the front courtyard requests your presence." Seeing that Yan Yun was staring at her without making a move, she repeated herself.

"The adults have prepared so many things for you, just waiting for you to come over."

As she spoke, her face was filled with envy and curiosity.

The people in the manor are all saying that the master has made many preparations this time, many of which they have never seen before.

"Miss."
