Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
The Death of Madam Yun

Yun Xin. That innocent and innocent girl, the second daughter of the couple Yun Xiaoyu and Yun Xinwa. At the age of nine, his mother died of severe illness. The healers said that Madam Yun's illness could not be cured, because Madam Yun's illness was not an ordinary illness. He was like being exposed to magic or witchcraft, which resulted in the paralysis of all his vital nerves.

Various ways were done by the prime minister of Yun for the recovery of his wife. However, Xin'er's mother's condition worsened and soon she died in severe pain.

The skin on his body peels like a burn, until it gives off an unpleasant odor. No one wants to bury his body or take care of his funeral for fear of being cursed by a witch.

Thus, Madam Yun's body was buried by the prime minister himself along with her eldest son, Yun Xiaolang. No one wanted to approach the residence of the prime minister at that time, until there came a woman named Ji Muning. Ji Muning was a little friend of Xin'er's mother, and was still a distant relative of Yun's prime minister.

Madam Muning came suddenly on condolences for the passing of Madam Yun. With a very sad face, he went to the prime minister while telling the story of himself and the late mistress Yun while in his village.

Though he and his mother Xin'er were not close friends, it could even be said as enemies because they had loved the same man. The man actually loves Xinwa and vice versa, but because of Muning's cunning the man eventually marries Muning.

Muning framed Gu Heng so they had an illicit relationship at the time when Gu Heng and Xinwa were in a relationship. Finally, Xinwa decided to go to the city and meet with Yun Xiaoyu. At that time, Yun Xiaoyu was not yet the prime minister and still served as the minister in the Xili kingdom.

Because Xiaoyu's affection for Xinwa was so sincere, Xinwa finally decided to marry the man. They were gifted a handsome and intelligent son named Yun Xiaolang. Their marriage was very happy with the presence of the handsome among them, plus Yun Xiaoyu's ascension to prime minister.

Yun Xiaoyu was appointed directly by the Xili king, emperor Zhu Zihu as the prime minister of the Xili kingdom because of his good performance and his ability in taking care of state duties. How fortunate are those who get the affection of the emperor's majesty directly. They were also given a new residence, the Josheng pavilion located to the north of the city of Yongsheon.

Muning, who heard the news of Xinwa's marriage to a Xili royal prime minister, became very envious. He regretted having snatched Gu Heng from Xinwa's hands, just for wanting to make Xinwa heartbroken. Apparently, good fortune favors Xinwa more. He married a Prime Minister whose wealth was far above Gu Heng who was only a farm farmer.

Ji Muning is determined to reclaim what Xinwa has, namely a handsome husband and his wealth. He paid a healer to make a nerve-lubricating potion, as well as a rotting potion to let Xinwa die slowly and horribly.

The symptoms of the strange illness occurred after Xinwa gave birth to Xin'er, and got worse over time until she breathed her last at the age of Xin'er nine.

Everyone thought that Xinwa had been exposed to magic, so they would not approach her and help with her funeral. As a result, the residence of the prime minister was never touched by everyone. They excommunicated the sons and daughters and servants at the residence of the prime minister.

Until Ji Muning declared that he would care for and raise the two Xinwa children because of dreams in Xinwa. In a dream, Xinwa leaves her two children to Muning and asks Muning to marry Yun Xiaoyu. If they marry, then the witch's curse will vanish from the prime minister's family. In fact, it was just her essay in order to get a position as the wife of the prime minister of Yun.

"I'm sorry for the leniency of the servant, Mr. Prime Minister! Servant only delivers Xinwa's message through dreams, not reducing or exaggerating." He said while looking respectfully.

Yun Xiaoyu looked to be thinking hard. Besides he did not want to betray his love to his late beloved wife, but he did not want his son and daughter to suffer because I was ostracized by society. After careful thought, prime minister Yun said. "alright. Since that's my late wife's message, let's get married as soon as possible! I will give you all the facilities you need and you also have to take care of our two children as well as possible. Xiaolang and Xin'er are precious treasures to me, then you should look after and care for them with great affection." Prime Minister Yun said firmly.

"Once again you lose, Xinwa. I'm still the winner in our fight. Ahaha!" Inner Muning screeched in excitement. He can't wait to live well in the prime minister's residence where all needs are served by servants, unlike in his home who had to do anything on their own because they don't have servants like here.

A few days later, they got married and Muning managed to make the people of Yongsheon believe in the prime minister again and they behaved as usual again. That made the prime minister of Yun convinced of the loss of the curse of marrying Ji Muning, the widow of two children.

Muning's words were different from what he did. His promise to prime minister Yun to look after and care for his two children with affection, was a lie. When the prime minister served in the kingdom, his two children were treated badly. They were tortured and punished for every little mistake they made. In fact, Muning had the heart to give the little Xin'er a whip until the girl suffered trauma.

The days that Xiaolang and Xin'er went through were so bad that if their father went off duty, they would be oppressed by their mother and stepbrother. Moheng and Mingna were like their mother, rude and heartless. Both of them treated their stepbrothers like house servants.

"So, it's true that my guess that the grandmother dropped by was a terrible witch!" Xin'er exclaimed as she looked at aunt Tangli and Mengshu.

Aunt Tangli chuckled at the nickname for Muning. "Since when did you dare to call the Madam such a bad witch? Grandma was shocked by you now to think that the fourth miss was not Xin'er who you were foster parents to, but someone else." Aunt Tangli chuckled.

Xin'er chuckled while scratching her nape. "Ah, grandma thinks too much! I'm still the old Xin'er, Grandma's favorite!" His eyes with grimace.

"If Grandma knew that the owner of the body was dead and I wasn't her. Does Grandma still love me?" Inner Yoona stared softly at Aunt Tangli.

However, the shrill voice of her personal servant disperse Yoona's daydreams. "But Mengshu agreed with Miss Xin'er. The mistress and her two children were indeed such ugly witches, good on the outside but ugly on the inside. We must unmask the three of them immediately!" Kell at Mengshu with great enthusiasm.

Xin'er and Aunt Tangli stared at each other before they closed their mouths using palms. "If they hear your rant, would you still dare to talk big like that?" Cetus both tease Mengshu.

Instantly Mengshu turned to his left and right, afraid that anyone would hear while closing his mouth. "Is there anyone here who hears my words, miss?" His whisper was careful.

Seeing Mengshu's terrified expression, Xin'er and Aunt Tangli laughed off. "Golden, hahaha. I'm just pranking you, Ashu!" Cetus Xin'er made Mengshu pout.
