Chapter 8: Amazing

Ling Lan knelt down and bowed deeply to Yun Ruoyan once more. “Nona, I've been molested! I don't know anything about this poison!”

"DON'T YOU?" Yun Ruoyan raised her voice. "Peony saw everything you did the last few days!"

This was of course a lie, meant to trick Ling Lan into saying something incriminating. In his panic, Ling Lan banged her head several times to the ground, making several loud bumps as she shouted, “Nona, Ling Lan made a mistake! Ling Lan understood what she was doing wrong! Miss, please forgive Ling Lan!”

"I'm sorry?" Yun Ruoyan laughed coldly. "Where did you get the poison?"

“That...” Ling Lan stuttered, seemingly unable to get words out of her mouth.

"Even at this point, you won't say it ?!" Xi Lan raised her voice and interrogated Ling Lan.

“I... I did not dare.” Ling Lan almost sobbed as she spoke, clearly terrified of the direction of the conversation.

“That's from Mrs An, right?” Yun Ruoyan got to the core of the matter. Actually, it's not hard to guess. Although Yi Qianying would later turn into a ruthless enemy, she was currently just an outsider in the Yun household who did not have the authority or courage to do something like this. His father doted on his second concubine, and Yun Ruoyu was not the sneaky type, so there was only one possible culprit.

“You can't stay here much longer. I can consider not revealing everything, but you should leave the Yun household tonight, ” Yun Ruoyan said in a final tone.

Ling Lan finally started crying. “Nona, please, no! I can't leave the Yun Family! Miss, I, I won't do anything stupid anymore! Miss... please let Ling Lan stay, let Ling Lan stay.. ”.

The normally silent courtyard was filled with a thumping sound as Ling Lan continued to bang her head against the ground.

When Yun Ruoyan saw Ling Lan hit her head even harder, she finally relented. "I can let you stay, but you have to promise me one thing."

“Anything, Miss! Ling Lan will do anything!”

"I want you to pretend nothing happened." Yun Ruoyan's eyes twinkled. “Including taking poison from Lady An.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Lan raised her head in surprise. Peony and Xi Lan also looked towards Yun Ruoyan with shocked expressions on their faces. What he meant by this was. letting Ling Lan defect to his side and spying on Madame An for him!

“Yes, Ling Lan understands!”

Tired mentally and physically, Yun Ruoyan sat down in front of her dressing table and rested for a while. Peony walked towards him. "Miss, today, why are you ..."

Xi Lan also left. “Betul, Miss, now that everyone is gone, Peony and I have to do all the work! And you even gave them so much silver..that's all the money we have!”.

Yun Ruoyan smiled slightly and took out her own makeup box, released two jade hairpins and handed each to Peony and Xi Lan. “This deck is much more valuable than those three taels of silver.”

Xi Lan was obviously easy to please, as she immediately smiled happily. "Thank you Madam!"

But Peony gripped Xi Lan's hand tightly. “Nona, this ornament was left for you by your mother. We can't take it!”

Yun Ruoyan smiled. “I give it to you guys; take them.”

At this moment, a bright and clear voice sounded from outside the courtyard. "Sister, we're here to apologize to you!"

Yun Ruoyan frowned. By the time he reacted, Yun Ruoyan and Yi Qianying had brought Yun Ruoyu to his side, and even his cousin, Yun Moyuan, followed them here.

“I heard Ruoyu hurt you today, Brother, so I specifically brought her to apologize. Brother, is your face hurt? As Yun Ruoyao rambled, she saw Yun Ruoyan's injuries. “Ah, jeez! Ruoyu, how could you hurt your sister like that? Don't you know that he hasn't even become a third-rate sword master yet?

Trying to hide his smile, Yun Ruoyu replied simply, "Yes, I will remember it for the future."

“Who cares about his face? No one wanted to see him even if he was not injured. Yun Moyuan looked on with disdain, turning towards Yi Qianying. "Qianying, you're so kind, you even took care of someone who punished you!"

Yun Ruoyan's gaze then turned to Yi Qianying. Ha, this is one of his tactics!

Yi Qianying slightly furrowed her brows, gripping Yun Moyuan's arm. “Sepupu, don't say this. I'm sure the sister doesn't feel happy getting hurt. ”

“Che,” tease Yun Moyuan, “Who cares how he feels? No one would care about such an ugly girl even if she died on the streets!”

And at that moment, Yun Ruoyan clenched her hands tightly. “Sepupu, you are not wrong. No one would care about someone like me even if I died on the streets. Sisters, you better come back"

Yun Ruoyan's tone of voice was the same piece of mocking, vengeful, and honest. In his past life, he had actually been forcibly poisoned and thrown into the streets. At that moment, only an unknown man came to see him.

“We came specially to see you, Sister. Why are you kicking us out like that? Yun Ruoyao smiled. "Did you not welcome us?"

Yun Moyuan looked at Yun Ruoyan haughtily. "You really think you're just as important as all of that, don't you?"

Yun Ruoyan did not know how she offended him so much that it made her hate him so much. Was it all because he was ugly and untalented?

"Yun Moyuan, don't overdo it!"

"What can you do to me, even if I?"

"Sister brother! Relax, don't start fighting!” Even at this moment, Yi Qianying was fanning the flames of conflict between them.

"Fight? She?!" Yun Moyuan sneered, punching Yun Ruoyan. The fist contained such strength that, when it hit Yun Ruoyan's shoulder, she was thrown backwards nearly two meters. Peony and Xi Lan came, wanting to help him, but Yun Ruoyan stopped them. "Don't interfere!"

He would deal with people who were bothering him himself! Yun Ruoyan clutched her shoulders as she forced herself, anger clearly visible in her eyes. "Yun Moyuan, if you want to fight, I'm here!"

He held back once and again, but as they continued to push and push, he had no reason to relent anymore!

Clearly, the group did not expect that someone as weak as Yun Ruoyan would dare to challenge Yun Moyuan to a fight, and they even felt a little guilty. Yun Ruoyao calmed down before whispering, "Cousin, don't worry, he hasn't even become a third-rate sword master yet, so he isn't your match."

It was only then that Yun Moyuan was reminded of this fact. He quickly regained his confidence, throwing three punches at once, each attacking Yun Ruoyan's vital parts. Although he tried to dodge or endure, his lack of cultivation meant that he was too slow, his defense was too ineffective. A few blows had made Yun Ruoyan limp on the edge of defeat.

With a final blow, Yun Ruoyan was forced back three steps, and she coughed as she clutched her chest.

"Alright fine! We have to stop!” The peony quickly rushed forward.

Xi Lan was also confused. “There is no way our mistress can win! If this match did not stop, he would probably be seriously injured!”

"It's none of your business! Scram!” Yun Ruoyu's anger flared up once again, and she even let go of her pretense of apologizing.

Yun Ruoyan knelt on the ground, a drop of blood flowing at the corner of her lips, landing on the silver bracelet. Suddenly, his silver bracelet sparkled, and bursts of spiritual power and energy flowed into Yun Ruoyan's battered body.
