Chapter 888: Chapter 890, Yun Bi Returns (3 updates)
In the end, Yun Qi couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Mrs. Han looked up at Yun Qi and gently put down the scissors.
"Yes, why did we become like this?"
She took a deep breath, poured a cup of tea for Yun Qi, "Do you remember when we first met, Second Master, you were so dashing and witty, able to outmatch so many people on your own. Back then, I thought, if I could marry such an outstanding man, we would surely have a lifetime of love and happiness!"
"Later my dream came true. We got to know each other, understand each other, and fall in love. I lost my mother when I was young and traveled everywhere with my father. I knew how much my father cherished my mother, and I always thought you would treat me the same. And indeed, you have always done well, really, you have always been good. But fate played tricks on us. It wasn’t you or me that ruined everything; it was your mother. Once or even twice would have been bearable, but she went so far as to ruin me!"
As Mrs. Han spoke, tears fell.
How could she not hate?
It was precisely because of this deep hatred that she came back. She wanted to see Jinnian married off in a dignified manner.
So no one would gossip about her.
Yun Qi’s eyes reddened too. "Shu Niang, I’m sorry!"
"No need to say sorry, truly, you have nothing to apologize for. Other men with multiple wives and concubines were unfaithful, but I know you are not. All these years, I was just holding onto a breath, thinking you would understand me and investigate thoroughly!"
But she was so very wrong.
Yun Qi was a filial son; how could he suspect the Old Madam Yun?
"Shu Niang..."
"Don’t say anymore. If you truly remember our past feelings, then properly prepare Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony, and let her genuinely experience the love of her parents, alright?"
"Alright!"
After seeing Yun Qi off, Mrs. Han stood at the door and laughed coldly.
She took a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears, saying to Bai Que, "Is everything ready?"
"Don’t worry, Madam, everything is ready. The Hidden Guards are also watching everyone in the residence. If they make any move, they won’t escape!"
"Hmm!"
Mrs. Han responded faintly.
"I wonder if Father will be able to make it back!"
But Mrs. Han never dreamed that instead of Han Xuzi, Third Master Yun Bi would come back.
"Master, Second Master, Old Madam, Third Master has returned!"
The servant ran all the way, running very fast.
When Mrs. Han got the news, she stood there, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
She and Yun Bi met when they were young and got along very well, never imagining that one day they would wake up together in the same bed.
And be seen by so many people.
"Bai Que, he has returned!"
Yun Bi has come back, but why?
Is he back to report to the capital? Or did he come back for Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony?
Yun Bi knew Tianci’s true identity. Could he be back to take the child? That shouldn’t be the case; Yun Bi wasn’t such a cold-hearted person.
Even back then, when that incident happened, the first person he protected was her!
"Yes, Madam, Third Master is back!"
Bai Que also felt a trace of joy in her heart.
But she dared not show it, fearing she might become the second Concubine Su.
That was not what she sought.
Moreover, she had already done her hair, deciding never to marry anyone again.
"Let’s go, let’s go see what our Third Master has become after all these years?"
"Yes!"
When Old Madam Yun heard Yun Bi had returned, she was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Yes, Old Madam, Third Master has returned, with so many boxes. From what the servants say, he’s here to stay!"
"Good, good, good. Where is he now?" Old Madam Yun asked urgently.
