Chapter 31 - Enemy Gatherings
Because of the arrival of Song Jin from Yun Xiang Mansion, the servants were busy going back and forth. When they saw Yun Qianliang and Gu Yicheng, all of their expressions stiffened; it was obvious that they did not expect the two of them to be here today.
In the main hall, Yun Qinan and Song Que Jin were discussing trivial matters, the Qin family and Yun Qingyan were accompanying them, the butler was waiting for them, the two of them seemed to have no idea that Yun Qianliang would return to the house today, and were happily chatting.
"This prime minister and the Jin Wang are really fated." Gu Yicheng had not even walked into the main hall, and the voice had already sounded, breaking the sound of the warm and joyous atmosphere.
Song Jingjing and Yun Qinan stopped talking, and looked at the owner of the voice who had released such an unpleasant sound, only to see Gu Yicheng and Yun Qianliang holding hands and walking in. The two of them were dressed in purple today, looking noble and elegant.
What made people envious was the accessories on their waists. On the half-moon jade pendant, the two of them perfectly combined into a circle.
"Greetings Jin Wang." Walking into the hall, Yun Qianliang took out her hand, and faced the dark blue embroidered robed man's cold face, and looked at the other person sitting upwards: "I have seen you. "Father."
When Yun Qianliang paused for a while, she swallowed the word "father" back down her throat and replaced it with the word "strange" and "father".
Yun Qianliang had never been self-aware, and always thought that Yun Qinan doted on sher, and called her father in a loud and clear voice. Thinking about the poison in her body, and how she was treated like a chess piece and married into the Gu Xiangfu, he was afraid that he would never be able to call her that ever again.
Yun Qinan, he couldn't afford it.
"Greetings, father-in-law. I'm still feeling unwell. I came back late, I hope father-in-law doesn't mind." Gu Yicheng respectfully paid his respects to his father-in-law, using the same unhealthy excuse as before to use as a shield.
"You're back. Take a seat." Yun Qinan was not in a good mood, following Gu Yicheng's words, she looked at Yun Qianliang who was bowing politely and said: If you are not well, then there is no need to come back, the one who has suffered from the cold is still you, do not trouble Gu Xiang to worry about you.
"Father taught me well." Yun Qianliang had a smile on his face the entire time, the care and concern he showed grew. "I heard that Yun Xiang Mansion is a thief, and as her daughter, she should naturally come back to see father because she is frightened. Seeing that father is well, daughter feels a lot more at ease."
Yun Qinan sized up the slim and graceful woman in front of him. After the incident with the Lu family, he had crippled his wife and helped her aunt, although she had not stolen her identity as a direct daughter, he had never treated her well. As she grew older, her personality became more arrogant and willful, and he was even more unhappy, as she did not like seeing this daughter of his.
Seeing it today, he felt that there was something different about it.
"Why didn't elder sister send someone to inform everyone that she was coming back today? Qingyan will be waiting for you at the door." Yun Qingyan stood up and smiled, he wanted to grab Yun Qianliang's hand to show her friendliness, that kind and forgiving smile, it was truly charming.
"Second Miss, it's better not to touch shallowness. I'm afraid Jin Wang cannot afford it." Gu Yicheng dragged the person behind him and placed Yun Qianliang onto a chair, leaving him hanging there awkwardly.
Yun Qinan could not see his beloved daughter being wronged, and had even looked at Yun Qianliang with new eyes, immediately reverting back to her original form, thinking that it was because of Yun Qianliang's instigation that people had misunderstood Yun Qingyan, making her feel wronged.
"Qian Chao, Jin Wang has already settled this matter. Don't try to ruin Qingyan's reputation with your temper." Yun Qinan turned her head to look at Song Yingjin's expression, seeing that her actions had gained taciturn approval, she became bolder and bolder, "Hurry and apologize to Qingyan."
Yun Qianliang originally wanted to take up his teacup and quietly drink her tea, ignoring the battle. Hearing the word "apologize", she blinked and put the tea that was brought to his mouth down.
It was none other than Gu Yicheng's doing, it wasn't related to her at all. Ifhe couldn't bully Gu Yicheng, she would just use her as a show of force to bully Gu Yicheng, treating him like a soft persimmon.
"Father, may I ask, what reason do I have to apologize to my sister?" Yun Qianliang raised her gaze, and the heavenly eyes looked straight into his furious eyes, although her words were a question, the discontent in her eyes was clear, a question.
"Qian Qian, why are you talking to your father?" Now that he was in Yun Xiang Mansion's territory, she definitely had to settle the score with Yun Qianliang for her daughter, "After causing such a ruckus and making your father lose face, do you think that it's not enough?"
Yun Qianliang stared at Qin family with interest, ridicule could be seen from the serious look on her face, as if she was watching a play.
After the Qin family finished speaking, she pursed his lips and smiled.
That was her usual smile when provoking others. The more confident and calm she was, the more amiable and beautiful she would be.
"Thieves entered the manor. Although my father wasn't scared, I felt that everyone was scared. Otherwise, why would you be so rude?" Yun Qianliang smiled curiously, looking pure and innocent.
"Father and Mother didn't know that Big Sister and Brother-in-law had returned today, and coincidentally, Jin Wang had come to visit them at their residence. Qingyan was worried that the guests wouldn't be good enough, so he let Housekeeper Liu wait by the side, and didn't receive Qingyan in time. Please don't be angry, Big Sister."
Yun Qianliang spoke a lot of words, causing his throat to hurt even more, she felt that it was a little painful, thinking that it was to add fuel to the fire, she picked up her tea cup to moisturize his throat, the water in the tea flowed down his throat felt much more comfortable.
"In my opinion, Jin Wang being here in Yun Xiang Mansion today is not a coincidence." Gu Yicheng saw that she was not feeling well, and took over the conversation, pointing the spear at Song Shujin, "It's just that I have no intention of bringing this up with cloud phase, and will be bringing Drifting Water back to the residence to visit father. I was originally going to instruct Jin Wang to not come over these few days, so as to not catch up with my interest. It seems like I have made a mistake in my calculations, I did not expect the Jin Wang to be so interested in my family.
Gu Yicheng shook his head, his face was filled with regret, as though he was really unwilling to let go of his wife.
Hearing that, Yun Qianliang's gaze turned to Song Shujin, but in the eyes of Song Shujin, there was coldness, and just as he was about to warn him, she indifferently retracted his gaze, as if giving an unimportant gaze to an admirer, which made Song Shujin extremely angry.
Yun Qingyan slowly paced back to his seat and looked at the handsome man sitting on the seat in front of his with an injured gaze. His delicate eyebrows were knotted, allowing others to see that she was troubled and wronged, but not destroying his beauty.
"Gu Xiang has the ability to speak nonsense. This king understands." Song Shujin retorted expressionlessly.
Hearing that, Yun Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief, and stopped complaining.
