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

Yun Shuo was stunned. What made him even more miserable than the saying that men and women should not touch each other was that Yun Nian was unwilling to accept his gift.

He didn't know how to react for a moment, so he just smiled stiffly and nodded.

"So that's how it is. From now on... from now on..."

The girl in the thin shawl did not wait for him to finish his hesitant words, and continued walking along the cobblestone path.

There were little yellow flowers blooming along the way, dotted like stars twinkling in the dark green night sky.

strange?

Yun Nian hesitated for a moment. She had never thought of using dark green to describe the sky. It was as if this color had an unusual meaning to her.

Of course, she didn't have the energy to think about it, because her mother's maid had already appeared in front of her, smiling and greeting her.

"Both the young lady and the young master are here? This time the husband will be very happy."

Stepping over the threshold, Liu Shulan sat gracefully with a kind smile.

Perhaps the word kind is not appropriate. Liu Shulan still looks young, and Yun Nian's outstanding beauty obviously comes from her. It's just that the disciple is better than the master.

"Sisi, my Sisi..."

She seemed to have a lot to say, and she stood up as if to come over for a hug.

"I met my mother."

Yun Nian bowed properly, keeping her knees bent steadily. She lowered her eyebrows and did not notice the flash of surprise on Liu Shulan's face.

"You... Sisi, hurry up, kid, why are you so unfamiliar?"

Liu Shulan reached out to help, and when her warm fingertips touched Yun Nian's body, a trace of fear flashed across the girl's eyes.

dislike?

Yun Nian couldn't explain why she didn't like others getting close to her body, just like when she was a kid and was playing outside and touched the flowing resin.

The sticky feeling made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable, and she wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. To her, the family members in front of her seemed to have become like this.

"Etiquette and laws cannot be abolished. My parents are above me, so I must naturally follow the etiquette and laws."

Yun Nian stood up slowly, the expression on his face relaxed a little, his straight eyebrows slightly curved, the corners of his mouth raised into a subtle arc, his whole face seemed to come alive all of a sudden, but his eyes were still cold.

"Don't bother with those empty formalities. Come here quickly. I've been waiting for a long time... Why do you look a lot thinner?"

Liu Shulan almost bit her tongue before she could swallow the words she was trying to cover up. There seemed to be a glimmer in her eyes, but it was hard to tell whether it was tears or something else.

But Yun Nian didn't care. She remembered that when she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she felt fine.

"I'm not pale or skinny, nor am I emaciated, so how can I say I'm thin?"

From her point of view, now is a very good time, and it is not the miserable state after the bones and flesh are cut off.

Fuzzy thoughts flashed through her mind, and she felt cold all over, with even her bones flashing with sharp pain.

Liu Shulan looked at her child. She was sure it was her, but she still felt indescribable pain.

She sobbed a little, quickly concealed her loss of composure, and asked softly,

"So do you want to go and relax? The weather isn't warm yet, how about I take you to a hot spring resort on the outskirts of the city? Or do you want to go on a boat trip on the lake, and mother will accompany you?"

Yun Nian frowned

"Can I go? I remember my father didn't allow me to go."

Liu Shulan hadn't answered yet. She just remembered the time when she misunderstood Sisi and left her alone in the mansion to get sick.

At that time, when they took Yunjiao to the hot spring villa to relax and talk with her, her Sisi, her baby, was in the empty yard, enduring the torture of illness.

What is she thinking? She is thinking that Sisi needs to learn to grow up, learn to face jealousy and pampering, and learn to give up.

But now, Sisi seems to have really given up everything.

"No, no, I don't want you to go."

Liu Shulan suddenly couldn't control her tears, and her regrets poured out. The sour taste was like the unripe oranges that Yun Nian had secretly passed to her when she was a child.

But Yun Nian didn't understand why she was crying. There was only pure doubt in her eyes. She just responded correctly according to her memory. She didn't know why she was not allowed to go, and she didn't know why her mother looked so painful now.

Someone strode in from outside the door. She turned around and immediately straightened her posture.

"Father."

"stand up."

Yun Fang said anxiously, and Liu Shulan hurriedly wiped her tears.

"I have already requested a rest time, and I also requested one for Shuo'er. The people at the Imperial Observatory said that the weather is fine these days. I will take you to the other courtyard to play."

He looked at Yun Nian with loving eyes, with a hint of imperceptible hope and request in his eyes.

But Yun Nian didn't understand why they looked so afraid of being rejected. She just pondered for a moment.

"Father has already made the arrangements, so there is no need to consider my opinion. It is up to me to go or not."

Although in her memory her parents and brother always responded to her requests, Yun Nian no longer dared to make any requests, as if those requests would become bloody shackles that would trap her in the future.

After hearing this, Yun Fang's eyes dimmed. He had originally requested for leave for Yun Nian.

They thought Yun Nian would like it there, but now they found out that she didn't care at all. She liked the hot springs and the boat ride. She just followed their instructions like an obedient puppet.

"Then where do you want to go? If it's outside Luochuan City, we can rush there. If it's Dongling Nanyan, I'm afraid we need to ask for permission..."

"Father?"

Yun Nian interrupted Yun Fang's anxious words and asked in confusion,

"Why do you have to ask for my opinion? You are the head of the family, so you will make your own decision. I am not feeling well, so I am afraid I have to leave first."

Liu Shulan stopped her husband who was about to say something and nodded to her daughter.

Yun Nian stood up, bowed, and then left. Yun Shuo did not follow her, but just watched her go away.

It was not until I reached the gate that I heard faint cries coming from inside.

"What on earth did you do to my Sisi? How did she become what she is now? Give me back my daughter! Give me back my Sisi!"

"I didn't know it would turn out like this... I thought, I thought..."

Yun Nian's overly sensitive hearing allowed her to hear everything clearly, but she did not stop to take a moment to notice.

In her courtyard, the window was opened by someone. Yun Nian approached slowly and was about to close it, but she saw a pair of dark green earrings on the window sill.
