Ah Yun asked anxiously: "And then? Did he drink...." Mingyue closed her eyes, "That day, the blood stained the entire Imperial City. A man whom no one in the world could deal with, ultimately died at the hands of a weak woman. Before dying, he asked why, and the woman cried, shaking her head. She said she had no choice, he must die, and she thanked him for conquering this land for his brother... Only before dying did he realize that his existence had been a joke from the beginning to the end...." Ah Yun cried out loud, "His life was too bitter. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but how can there be such a heartless mother in the world? She doesn’t deserve to have children." "How could he have a brother? Even if he died, how could his mother let his brother take the throne?" Mingyue sneered, "The woman was too scheming, in fact, back then she gave birth to...." Upon hearing footsteps, Mingyue instantly closed her mouth, her figure flickered, and she disappeared into the night. Next moment, Yun Ya opened the door and came out, tidied up his slightly wrinkled clothes, and touched his somewhat numb lips, "Ah Yun, bring the midnight snack in, Brother Yan and I are hungry." Yun Ya saw the tear stains on Ah Yun’s face, walked over and grabbed her arm, frowning and asking: "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Ah Yun shook her head, "No one bullied me, I just got too emotional listening to a story Mingyue told...." Yun Ya glanced around, and there was no trace of Mingyue, "What story made you cry, tell it to me someday?" Content originally comes from N0velFire.ɴet Ah Yun wiped her tears and turned to leave. Yun Ya stood by the railing, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, a clear light reflected in his eyes. People have their joys and sorrows, the moon has its phases of waxing and waning, Brother, where are you now? Are you looking at this bright moon like me? Brother, I miss you very much. May heaven bless, let me find you soon. The two had their midnight snack, Yun Ya paced back and forth in the room to digest, glanced at a certain someone pretending to read behind the desk: "It’s so late, you should leave now." "Are you chasing me away?" Yan Song raised an eyebrow. "Nonsense, we aren’t married yet, what is it every night you sleep with me? If people find out about my reputation, would it still be intact?" Yun Ya touched his stomach, the first cycle hadn’t ended, it had been more than ten days, it was sporadic these days, maybe something was wrong, just now after fooling around with Yan Song, he felt a slight pain in his stomach. Yan Song touched his nose, knowing his actions were improper, stood up: "You rest, I’ll leave now." Seeing he was about to leave, Yun Ya walked over and took his hand: "I can’t sleep, why don’t you accompany me for a walk outside." Yan Song glanced out the window, it was too cold at night, afraid Yun Ya would get cold. "Don’t worry, I’ll dress warmly." In the end, Yan Song draped a coat over her, wrapped her layer over layer, with a hat, ear warmers, and gloves all in place, only then he led Yun Ya out the door. At night, the Yan Family was very quiet. The two walked by the lake, looking at the bare shadows illuminated by the moonlight beside the road. Yun Ya tightly held Yan Song’s hand, as though she could feel the warmth of his palm even through the thick gloves. "It’s so nice, Brother Yan, we no longer have to hide anything. I’m your fiancée, you’re my fiancé. The thought makes me happy." Yun Ya’s smile reached her ears. Yan Song lowered his gaze and looked at her, seeing the bright smile on her fair face, feeling as if a big sun was shining in his heart, warm and cozy. "In two years, you’ll be twenty, I’ll be twenty-two, we’ll get married, and you’ll be Lady Yan, my wife." Such a gentle voice, such a beautiful plan, such a heartwarming title, Yun Ya held his arm, resting her head on his shoulder, walked slowly: "I’ll wait." Hoping that day will come. Suddenly, Yun Ya saw a shadow flickering in the darkness ahead, Yan Song reacted faster than her, pulling her to hide behind a fake mountain. Yun Ya was good at seeing in the dark, even though the person was wrapped up tight, she recognized who it was at first glance. "Fourth Aunt? What’s she doing sneaking around so late?" That woman turned out to be Pei Xinyi. Yun Ya recognized the hairpin in her hair, distinguishing it easily. Yan Song frowned slightly, "Let’s follow and see."
