Yun Ziyu stopped when he heard the voice and slowly turned around.

His eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of hurt and anger in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Do you mean that I embarrass you? Mo Yuyan, you are really great!"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Ziyu was shaking with anger, and the joints of his clenched fists turned white from using too much force.

However, after a moment, he seemed to suddenly lose his temper and loosened his fist weakly.

Finally, Yun Ziyu stared at Mo Yuyan deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance into his heart.

Then, he said coldly: "If that's the case, then I'll do as you wish."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation, leaving Mo Yuyan with only a resolute back.

Mo Yuyan watched Yun Ziyu walking further and further away, her heart panicking and she couldn't help but quickly chase after him.

She stretched out her right hand, as if she wanted to catch the figure that was about to disappear, but finally she slowly put it down, her fingers clenched into a fist, her nails digging deeply into her palm.

At this time, Lichun hurried to Mo Yuyan's side, gently supported her trembling arm, and carefully helped her sit down on the stool next to her.

Lichun looked at Mo Yuyan with concern and asked softly, "Princess, why don't you tell Second Young Master Yun what the master and the mistress think? They are willing to donate half of their property just so that you can return home and reunite with your family. Maybe Second Young Master Yun will come up with a best of both worlds solution to this problem."

Mo Yuyan seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat on the stool blankly, not moving at all.

Tears slid uncontrollably from her eyes, flowed down her cheeks, and left two clearly visible tear marks on her fair face.

She shook her head slightly, and said with a choked voice: "When my parents are still alive, I won't travel far away. But I left my hometown and came to the capital city thousands of miles away alone. This behavior is already a great act of unfilial piety. Now, how can I ignore my mother and father's painstaking efforts and go against their wishes? What's more, my father and mother are really doing this for my own good..."

She is the only one in the capital. If she marries into the general's mansion, she will have nowhere to go even if she is wronged. Her family is thousands of miles away and she cannot rely on them. It is because of this that her father and mother are willing to spend all their wealth just to bring her home.

How could she only care about love?

Yun Ziyu's eyes were bloodshot and he returned to the general's mansion angrily.

In the yard, Yun Ziheng was taking a walk with Yuan Qingling.

When Yuan Qingling saw Yun Ziyu's appearance, she was shocked and pinched Yun Ziheng.

Yun Ziheng looked over as Yuan Qingling pointed out and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Qingling rolled her eyes inwardly, but her expression softened. "Your brother was smiling when he went out, but how come he looks so distraught when he comes back? Go and have a look."

Yun Ziheng frowned slightly. "Didn't he say at breakfast today that he was going to Princess Pingning's residence to look for Princess Pingning? Could it be that the two of them had a conflict?"

Yuan Qingling broke free from Yun Ziheng's support and pushed him in the direction Yun Ziyu left.

"You should go and check it out right away, or your mother will get worried again if she finds out. Don't be mean to him. Ask him what happened first, and don't give any rash advice." Yuan Qingling warned worriedly.

Yun Ziheng smiled helplessly, "Looking at you so carefully, it seems that you are his biological sister and I am his adopted brother."

Yuan Qingling raised an eyebrow, "Big Brother Hou? What do you mean?"

Yun Ziheng explained seriously, "If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepbrother."

Yuan Qingling reacted and glared at him fiercely. Yun Ziheng quickly admitted his mistake, "Xuezhi, Xuewu, you guys take the eldest young lady back to her room. I'll come over later."

Xuezhi and Xuewu bowed and accepted the order, walked to Yuan Qingling's side, and supported Yuan Qingling's arm.

Yuan Qingling reminded him again with concern, which made Yun Ziheng a little jealous and dissatisfied. Yuan Qingling knew that she was too concerned, so she stopped talking and just said "go early and come back early" and turned around and left.

Yun Ziheng then walked towards Yun Ziyu's yard.

Yun Ziheng walked to the gate of the yard and saw Yun Ziyu's room with the doors and windows closed. He was slightly stunned.

Why close the door in broad daylight?

"Knock knock."

Yun Ziheng knocked on the door gently but got no response. He thought Yun Ziyu didn't hear him, so he knocked harder, but still no response.

"It's me, open the door." Yun Ziheng shouted loudly.

Yun Ziyu's slightly hoarse voice came out through the crack in the door, "Brother, I'm fine. I just need a good night's sleep."

Yun Ziheng raised his eyebrows, "I didn't ask you if you were okay? I have something else important to tell you, about my mother."

There was no movement inside.

Yun Ziheng waited patiently for a moment, and the door in front of him opened as he expected.

Yun Ziheng raised his eyes slightly and saw Yun Ziyu's red eyes.

He was slightly stunned, "Are you really crying?"

Yun Ziyu glared at Yun Ziheng and said, "Brother, if you are here to laugh at me, just leave."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to close the door, and Yun Ziheng immediately squeezed in without caring about his image.

"I'm here with a difficult mission." After Yun Ziheng entered the room, he found a chair, sat down, and then spoke to Yun Ziyu who had his back to him.

Yun Ziyu's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard this, and he asked softly, "Did your sister-in-law ask you to ask this?"

Yun Ziheng's hands trembled in surprise and the tea almost spilled.

He put down his teacup and asked curiously, "How did you know? I just told you about my mother."

Yun Ziyu snorted, "Mother is so focused on Luoluo who just came back that she doesn't have the energy to pay attention to me for the time being. Tell sister-in-law to take good care of the baby. It's my fault. Sister-in-law has to worry about all the big and small things in the family, and now she has to worry about me too."

Yun Ziheng chuckled, "We are one family, why are you talking about different things? Just tell me what you mean, don't make up stories. I have to report to you when I go back."

Yun Ziyu sat on a chair nearby, not thinking of hiding anything, and told Yun Ziheng roughly about his conversation with Mo Yuyan today.

"There is definitely something wrong with that pretty boy. When Mo Yuyan heard that someone was coming from afar, she got very excited. There is definitely something wrong." Yun Ziyu was a little annoyed and slapped the table hard.

"He is still protecting that pretty boy. I am going to find that pretty boy, but she said that." Yun Ziyu thought of the last words Mo Yuyan said to him, and he felt like a deflated ball.

Yun Ziheng thought for a while and said cautiously, "Although we can't meet openly, we can still ask around. I think the princess may have her own reasons. After all, she was blind to you in the beginning. Now that you have finally found your love, how could the princess fall in love with someone else?"
