The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"How's that woman?"

"Reporting to the prince, she seems to have fallen into the soul-leaving disease. She is breathing slightly, but has not woken up yet."

Ning Sinian's eyebrows and eyes looked even more evil, and his face was covered with a layer of heavy clouds that could not be dispelled.

"She is so ignorant and insensitive that she actually dares to team up with the Yun family to deceive me!"

Thinking of this, he wanted to tear these people into pieces, but he couldn't touch the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor the Regent.

Those useless things didn't even realize that Wei Qingjue was pretending to be tricked, and they were all smug and thought they were so powerful.

The most important thing is that Yun Nian...

He thought about it for a while and felt that they seemed to be hiding something from him. He realized something was wrong when the strange ceremony started, but he was knocked unconscious before he could struggle.

"Prince... the prince..."

"I'll go by myself, get out of here!"

The trembling guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rolled out. Outside the study, the floor was covered with blood, and the maids tried to hold back their tears to wash it.

"Very good, very good. This is the first time I've made such a big mistake. Wei Qingjue, Yun Nian."

Ning Sinian looked straight at the teacup in his hand, clenched it tightly, and then threw it away fiercely. The shattering sound made him smile provocatively.

……

Yun Nian always felt like she had forgotten a lot of things. She looked up at her maids, and the smiles on their faces didn't look very sincere.

"I remember you, Qiulan,"

She looked at the girl who was trembling slightly, her oval face raised her lips, and she nodded slightly.

"Also, Dongxue and Xiahe. Strange, there should be one more."

But she couldn't remember the name of the remaining person.

"Miss……"

Qiulan could hardly hide her tears. She took a step forward, but Dongxue quickly held her back.

"Miss, there are no other people here. It has always been just the three of us. Please wash up quickly. You still have to pay your respects to the lady today."

Really? Yun Nian temporarily accepted this idea, because it seemed that if she continued to ask, Dong Xue would be very sad.

Sitting in front of a bronze mirror that reflected her unparalleled beauty, Qiulan carefully twisted her hair and tried to comb it into a suitable bun, but she could never find the right way.

The girl in front of the mirror pretended not to notice the hot tears dripping on her shoulders, and seemed unaware of her suppressed sobs.

She stretched out her fingertips, and the hair was entangled in her fingers. When did it become so short? She had no idea.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It will grow back anyway. At least I won't go out until I can wear my hair in a bun."

Yun Nian stood up, and Xia He's hand that was trying to insert the hairpin slipped down. The flowing cloud hairpin made of golden and green threads hit the wooden dressing table with a "thump" sound.

Xia He hurriedly picked it up and carefully put the hairpin aside. Yun Nian remembered this time that it was a birthday gift from her brother for her twelfth birthday.

She glanced at him nonchalantly, ignored him, and went to greet her mother with light steps.

The crabapple blossoms outside were blooming vigorously, but she frowned.

“Who planted it here?”

Dongxue, who was standing by, came forward and answered in a low voice,

"The master had them planted. He knew that the young lady liked them, so he specially found a gardener from Nanyan just to make the crabapple blossoms bloom early."

The strong powder and the fragrance that hits you in the face, this crabapple tree seems to block out the sun and grows vigorously. I guess the person who takes care of it must have put a lot of thought into it.

But she just frowned slightly and said, "I don't like it. Let someone remove it."

She unconsciously pressed her wrist, which was smooth and white, but she always felt a burning sensation spreading from her bones and blood.

"This……"

Dongxue was a little hesitant. After all, the Prime Minister had planted these trees himself, and the transplanting process took several days.

"Sisi doesn't like it? Then forget it. It's just a tree. Plant whatever you want."

A clear and gentle voice came from the curved door. Yun Shuo, dressed in moon-white clothes and with a dignified smile, approached Yun Nian.

"Brother."

Yun Nian knelt slightly and saluted. His posture was standard and his manners were very considerate. Even the strictest teaching nanny could not find any fault with him.

Her face was cold and indifferent, and her tone was like ice, which easily made Yun Shuo's heart sink.

Before he could say anything, he saw his sister saying to the maid behind him,

"Since my brother is here to pick me up, you should go back and have a good rest. Doesn't it hurt?"

Her expression did not fluctuate, but her tone became a little gentler, with a hint of doubt.

But her maids still didn't dare to move, they just lowered their heads. Yun Nian seemed to realize something and turned to look at the man beside her.

"Brother, are you going to overstep the boundaries and take care of the maids in my courtyard? Do you want to take them over? If so, I will go and ask mother for permission."

"No!"

Yun Shuo spoke hastily, and when he met those icy eyes, he quickly turned away.

"No, let them rest. I am not..."

He stopped talking with a wry smile. Of course, Yun Nian didn't want to listen to his explanation and just walked out.

Although the journey was not far, Yun Nian would still chat and laugh, making Yun Shuo feel that he had arrived at his mother's yard in a blink of an eye.

But today she didn't say a word, just kept silent, and even the distance was more than three feet in accordance with etiquette.

Just like when she opened her eyes yesterday, she said to Yun Shuo, "Brother, please let me go. Men and women should not touch each other."

He almost thought he was hearing a fairy tale. Even when Yun Nian was upset, she had never spoken to him in such a strange and cold tone.

He forgot how to face it for a moment. Fortunately, Yun Nian fainted again.

She looked normal except that she was too indifferent. She just forgot what happened after she came of age.

The prime minister asked that no one should mention it, especially the three maids who had luckily survived. Chunyu had been buried, and from then on, there was no such person in the prime minister's mansion anymore.

"Sisi..."

Yun Shuo finally couldn't stand the silence anymore and spoke up. Seeing the cold girl turned her head,

"Brother, is there something wrong?"

Seeing her so cold, Yun Shuo almost wanted to tell her everything. He grabbed her sleeve and asked her why she treated him like this.

But he finally forced himself to suppress his thoughts and spoke as if it was nothing special.

"Why don't you wear the Liuyun hairpin I gave you?"

Yun Nian stopped and raised his chin slightly.

"Brother, I'm grown up now. You should stop giving me these overly intimate things. They're not appropriate."
