The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Then, they walked down the mountain.
Murong Xuanyu took advantage of Yun Xuezhi's lack of attention to turn around and nod in the direction of the vines.
The vines seemed to have suddenly come to life as they slowly burrowed into the snow and disappeared.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Yun Xuezhi was still worried.
"You care about me?" Murong Xuanyu raised his eyebrows.”
It was rare that Yun Xuezhi did not retort. She was silent for a moment and replied softly,"I'm just scared…"
Murong Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat. He reached out to stroke her hair and smiled.""Silly, aren't we all alive?”
Yun Xuezhi was stunned for a moment before nodding lightly."All alive, all alive…"
Murong Xuanyu's expression gradually turned serious. He seemed to be touched.
The two of them supported each other as they walked down the mountain. They were silent and did not speak again.
"Look, they're back!" a bandit shouted excitedly.
The Second Head quickly went up to them. He sized up Yun Xuezhi and Murong Xuanyu and nodded excitedly,""It's good that you're back safely!"
"You haven't left yet?" Yun Xuezhi frowned and asked.
"Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, everyone was worried about Miss Yun's safety, so they found a family and temporarily settled down!”? The Second Leader looked up at the sky that was getting darker." Stay here for a night and have a good meal!”
"Alright!" Yun Xuezhi nodded." Everyone is tired. Have a good night's rest. We'll set off for the capital tomorrow!”
The crowd gathered around Yun Xuezhi and Murong Xuanyu and brought them to an ordinary house. The bandits jeered and asked Yun Xuezhi to tell them how she found the ice lotus. Yun Xuezhi did not refuse and told them openly. Of course, she did not need to use the part about the pattern spell.
Murong Xuanyu looked at Yun Xuezhi, who was sitting in the middle of the bandits with a smile on her face. She seemed to have some kind of magic that could make people's hearts gather and make them work for her willingly, just like how the people of Wan Xiang Sect treated Yu Linglong...
Murong Xuanyu was surprised to find that his heart didn't seem to hurt as much. He touched his chest and looked up at Yun Xuezhi. The expression on his face was unpredictable.
Far away from the chaos of the Residence of Yun and far away from the intense hatred towards Murong Chuyan, Yun Xuezhi slept exceptionally well that night.
They sped back to the capital that night. When Yun Xuezhi jumped down from the carriage, Murong Xuanyu realized that he was about to part with her and felt a little lonely.
"Murong Xuanyu!" Before entering the Residence of Yun, Yun Xuezhi stopped. She turned to Murong Xuanyu and called out softly.
Murong Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat. He immediately raised his head and saw Yun Xuezhi looking at him with a smile on her face. His heart started beating faster.
" Since we're back in the capital, we can be considered to have returned to our normal lives…" Yun Xuezhi paused." In the future, I'll still call you His Highness!"”
After saying that, she turned around and entered the Residence of Yun.
Murong Xuanyu stared blankly at her back as he pondered over the meaning behind her words. Then, he shook his head with a bitter smile.
This girl's words were always confusing.
Naturally, he did not know the surging emotions in Yun Xuezhi's heart at this moment. She could faintly feel that she had fallen for this man. However, her rationality told her that she couldn't.
This man was Murong Chuyan's younger brother, the blood relative of his enemy. There shouldn't be any connection between them...
The trip to the Eastern Region Snow Mountain Range was just a dream. Now that he had woken up, he would return to the ranks of revenge.
Yun Xuezhi calmed herself down and quietly walked to the door of the Breeze Pavilion. Then, she used the Lightness Skill Spell and entered the room through the roof tiles.
The layout of the Breeze Pavilion was as if she had just left, and the mannequin on the bed did not show any signs of being moved.
It seemed that no one had entered this room before…
Yun Xuezhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She quietly removed the dummy and lay down on it.
The sky was bright, but Yun Xuezhi stayed on the bed without moving.
At some point, Madam Yun had walked to the door of the Breeze Pavilion. She peeked through the gap and then raised her head proudly.
She would come to the Breeze Pavilion three times a day to check if Yun Xuezhi was still in her room.
The scene of Yun Xuezhi going crazy and killing Mother Chen kept replaying in her mind. She did not dare to confront Yun Xuezhi head-on, so she thought of this method. Now that five days had passed, that girl should be on her last breath...
"Xuezhi, are you still sleeping?" Mrs. Yun pretended to be concerned.
Yun Xuezhi's eyes widened as she listened quietly to the commotion outside. She did not make a sound.
"Xuezhi, since you're not saying anything, I'm coming in!”After saying that, she took out a bunch of keys and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there were no traces of it being opened, she opened the lock with relief.
After stepping into the Breeze Pavilion, Madam Yun walked straight to the bed. She took a deep breath and quickly pulled the blanket off the bed. Seeing that Yun Xuezhi was lying on it, she relaxed a little.
"Xuezhi, are you alright?" Madame Yun leaned her head closer and saw that her eyes were tightly shut. She carefully placed her finger under her nose to probe.
Yun Xuezhi naturally wanted to tease her, so she held her breath.
A cold smile slowly appeared on Madam Yun's lips. She raised her eyebrows proudly and said disdainfully," Hmph, you wretched girl, you can't defeat me in the end…"
She stretched her back and massaged her back, looking very tired.
" Look at how tormented I've been these past few days…" she muttered to herself." You and your mother are both tormenting people! However, thanks to your mother, you were able to live for a few more days. Otherwise, you would have been in the netherworld long ago…"
Hearing this, Yun Xuezhi immediately opened her eyes and sat up.
"Repeat what you just said!”She looked at Madam Yun and said word by word.
"Oh my god, I've seen a ghost!”Madame Yun was so frightened that her face turned pale." You, you're not dead?”
Yun Xuezhi smiled coldly and said faintly,"Looks like you're very disappointed!"
After all, she was someone who had seen big scenes. Madam Yun quickly calmed down and walked quickly to the door, as if she was afraid that Yun Xuezhi would suddenly rush over.
"Xuezhi!" Madam Yun forced a smile." I drank some wine just now and said some nonsense. Please don't take it seriously!”
After saying that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Yun Xuezhi's eyes were filled with coldness as she watched Madam Yun leave.
It seemed that his mother's death was not that simple…
The memories of the past were like waves that swept over, crashing into Yun Xuezhi's mind again and again.
Ever since she was young, she had relied on her mother for survival. Her mother was the daughter of a concubine of a minor official and did not have a prominent family background to rely on. However, she had given birth to a silly daughter like her, so she naturally suffered from the disdainful looks of the people of the Residence of Yun.
The day her mother passed away was her birthday. For the first time, Mrs. Yun rewarded her with a hen, so she begged her mother to make chicken soup for her.
Logically speaking, being able to receive a reward should be a happy thing, but her mother hugged her and cried bitterly. She did not remember what happened next.
Could it be that his mother was killed by Madame Yun?
Recalling Madam Yun's words just now, the doubts in Yun Xuezhi's heart gradually expanded.
As if the mother and daughter had discussed it, in less than two hours, the Yun family returned to the residence.
"Mother, the back mountain of the Shi family is really fun. We hunt and play with water all day long.”Yun Xue Rao hugged Madam Yun as soon as they returned to the residence.
"As long as you have fun!" Madame Yun forced a smile.
Yun Xue Rao looked around and asked in a low voice,"Why did you suddenly ask us to come back? Where's that girl? Has it been resolved?"
Madame Yun bit her lip and shook her head dejectedly.
At this moment, Yun Xuechu came over and smiled at Madam Yun before pulling Yun Xue Rao to the side.
"Elder Sister, I heard that the Shi family still has a young master who hasn't gotten engaged yet…"
"You wish!" Yun Xue Rao, who was feeling regretful, glared at her." That's the Shi family, one of the four great families! Can a daughter of a concubine like you marry into the family?"
"But didn't Mother Chen's granddaughter marry into the family?”Yun Xuechu was unconvinced.
Hearing this, Yun Xue Rao looked at her in disgust and snorted."What's the use of marrying a seventy-year-old man? Moreover, she was the grandaunt of the 14th household!”
Hearing her words, Yun Xuechu didn't dare to make a sound and quietly walked back to Yun Xuebi's side.
"What did you say to Eldest Sister just now?”Yun Xuebi asked curiously.
Yun Xuechu forced out a smile and did not answer. She lowered her head and tidied up her bag.
Yun Tian was tightly clutching a pink silk handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were closed, as if she was reminiscing about something. She smiled extremely wretchedly.
"Eldest Sister, Fifth Sister is out!" Yun Xue Shuang, who had been observing the surroundings, quietly moved to Yun Xue Rao's side and reminded her.
Yun Xue Rao was startled. She took a deep breath and put on a smile.
Yun Xuezhi walked straight through these people. She glanced at the servants in the residence and her face darkened."Where's Xiao Cui?"
"Fifth Sister, don't be anxious!" Yun Xue Rao walked to her side and pulled her to sit on a stool.”
As she spoke, she moved closer to Yun Xuezhi's ear mysteriously and whispered,"We went to the Shi family as guests. The Shi family's 14th grandmother felt that Xiao Cui was quick and diligent, so she wanted to keep Xiao Cui in the Shi family…You know, the Shi family is famous for being rich and powerful. I thought that it would be better for Xiao Cui to stay in the Shi family than to stay here, so I made the decision and gave Xiao Cui to the 14th grandmother as her personal maid!”
Hearing this, Yun Xue Zhi didn't find it funny. She looked up at Yun Xue Rao and coldly said,"Xiao Cui is famous for being a nobody in the Residence of Yun…Logically speaking, the most capable servant girl in the Residence should be Chun Sun!”
Yun Xue Rao was stunned and immediately continued,"Yes, yes, yes. Spring bamboo shoots are quite capable! However, who would have known that Fourteenth Grandmother had taken a fancy to Xiao Cui?”
