Jiang-Nan Wind City was considered far from Jincheng City, in the north.

The distance between them was hundreds of miles. There were countless small towns, as well as a long river that stretched thousands of miles.

Jin City was the capital city of Beheng, and Wind City was also the most bustling hinterland. The official road between the two cities was very smooth, and with a luxurious and comfortable carriage, the mother and daughter did not have to work hard on their journey, while ten years ago, the Yun family had wandered on the road of life and death. Yun Sheng Yue did not have many memories, and occasionally, he would feel cold or anxious.

"Yue Er, are you tired? "We're almost there." The Yun Family seemed to be happy to be back in Jincheng. Although they had no relatives here, they had grown up here. Furthermore, with her husband as her master, even suffering in the Yun Mansion was better than living under someone else's roof.

But her mother had suffered too much. Her body was weak to begin with, and ten years ago, she had once again frozen that match, almost losing her life. It was only because she could not bear to keep her daughter alive that she was able to survive.

So looking at Mrs. Yun Zhou's gratified expression, she could only put away her unhappiness and listen to her mother talk about the past of Jincheng.

According to the Yun family, Yun Chengling was an extremely intelligent man. He had passed the Imperial Examinations as a poor student, and was later accepted by General Bei Heng Shangguan Yan as Cheng Long's son-in-law. From then on, he was able to rise to the top and eventually become the Prime Minister of Bei Heng, deeply trusted by the Emperor.

It was a pity that his wife, the Shangguan Family's eldest daughter, was extremely jealous and couldn't tolerate him. Yun Chengling was surrounded by servants, even the most beautiful maidservants were sent away from the main house, such as the laundry room.

Who would have thought that the Lady would ever return home? Who would have thought that Yun Chengling would also return home drunk today? Who would have thought that she would run into Mrs. Zhou, who had delivered the clothes? She had only borrowed wine from the master to take advantage of this maidservant; who would have thought that she would be born with a hidden knot in her womb just like that?

With a child, Yun Chengling was a little unyielding. Ignoring the jealousy of his wife, he took a concubine. Actually, he wanted to block those colleagues who behind his back were mocking him for relying on their relationship and being afraid of his wife.

Madam Yun did not know how she came to terms with this, but after making a ruckus for a while, she accepted this fact. On the surface, it looked calm and peaceful, Yun Chengling could only stay in her concubine's room for three nights a month.

The man's clothes and shoes in her room were obviously made up, but since Yun Chengling wasn't in the mansion, it was naturally up to Madam to decide. Madam said that her concubine stole the person, so who could help her?

The Yun Family's happiness towards returning to the Residence of Yun was only caused by a single sentence from Yun Chengling. He said, "I believe you, you must be feeling wronged!"

What an easy to satisfy woman. Just a single sentence was enough to dissolve ten years of her suffering.

Yun Sheng could not understand it at the time. Only after experiencing all sorts of unforeseen events did he understand that trust could resolve many things. Only with trust could there be everything. The most important bond between a man and a woman was trust.

"Yunniang, Yue-er." Yun Chengling personally came to welcome the mother and daughter from the car, planning to bring them in through the main entrance. The Zhou family had already revealed an expression of gratitude, while Sheng Yue coldly looked at the manor that no longer had any memories.

Although Yun Chengling treated her very well, she did not call him father as they walked for half a month.

That woman, Shangguan Qing Zhi, was dressed more extravagantly than ever before, bringing seven or eight servants with her to personally welcome her husband back to the Zhou Mansion. She was not surprised to see Lady Zhou and Sheng Yue, she must have already known about their return.

Even from the looks of their expressions, it was as if they were welcoming a family member. Although they were not really close, they were still very kind. Could it be that ten years of time could turn a vicious and jealous woman into a good wife and mother?

Occasionally, he would turn his head and the look of disgust and contempt in his eyes was eventually discovered by Sheng Yue. Of course, this was also within her expectations. She was still as cold as ever and did not express any opinions.

However, the aura she exuded from her loneliness could not be underestimated by anyone. She was no longer that little girl who would cry when she saw her mother being humiliated.

If a person wanted to grow up, it would sometimes take a very, very long time.

Sometimes, however, it only took a short night.

Yun Sheng sighed to himself.

In order to prevent herself from being hurt, she had already erected all the thorns on her body.

If the injury came from an enemy, she would be able to return it many times over. However, if the injury came from someone close to her, what would she do if it came from someone she trusted the most?

"Cough cough, Yue Er, don't be angry. Your father is thinking for your sake." In the end, the Northern Lands was much colder than Jiangnan. Once the sky turned cold, Mrs. Yun Zhou's health was not good again. She coughed all night long, even though Yun Chengling had invited the best doctor over.

But there was no cure for her. The answer he got was that his wife's illness could only be cured by food and medicine for two years. She had to be on alert, on guard, and on guard. She had to maintain a calm and relaxed state of mind in order to have more days to live.

Therefore, Yunsheng relied on Madam Zhou everywhere. Although the Madam had a gentle attitude, he was always worried. Therefore, he managed to obtain an elegant courtyard. It was a private house that resembled their own home.

Yun Chengling came to visit them every day. Her mother was happy, she knew that Yun Chenling's reputation was at its peak, but on the contrary, the Shangguan Family had been weakened after Shangguan Qing Zhi's father died, which was why Yun Chengling was able to do what he wanted now.

Who gave her the right to marry the diligent king, Murong Yu, who everyone said was tyrannical and unpredictable? He had only come back to pick them up for three months, and he had given them a place to stay. He had given them gold and silver, silks and silks, and food and clothing.

"Mother, you should know that I'm together with …"

"Mother knows that Young Master Baili is our savior. He has been very good to you since he was young, but didn't he promise you that he would come to Jincheng City in a month's time?" "It's been three months now, and there's no letter …"

"Brother Yu must be busy. The entire Baili family's business is managed by him alone, it's not a big deal to delay them for a few days. Isn't it only for three months?"

Brother Yu would definitely come. They had agreed that she would return with her father first and he would arrive shortly. He would prepare many betrothal gifts and come to the Residence of Yun to propose marriage so that she could marry him in glory.

Why was there no news of him after that? There wasn't even a single letter. In the past, if he had been out for a bit longer, he would have sent someone to deliver a letter and small gift back in ten to fifteen days. But now … Had something really happened?

"… …." Yue Er, Yue Er, are you listening? You wrote so many letters and yet you still did not reply. I'm afraid the Baili family is not willing! "

"I don't believe it!" Yun Cangyue's voice was firm, but she was feeling flustered.

"Don't blame your father. He originally accompanied the Emperor on a tour to the south to find us, so the Emperor knows that you will soon be sixteen years old and that he has trusted your father so he wants to hand you over to the Duke of Qin, who is only 21 this year. He has a martial arts background and is also highly favored by the Emperor.

When did a weak mother speak so much in one breath? Yun Shengyue could not retort in silence, but she knew that the words must have been said by her father.

He knew that she might not listen to his words, so he found the best lobbyist. Unfortunately, he miscalculated her heart, and in her heart, there was only Baili Yu.

However, she had never expected that he would allow her to marry someone else!

He had broken his promise, and if it was just a letter, she would definitely not believe it, but he had personally confirmed it all!
