Chapter 854: Chapter 856, Appeasing the Younger Half-Sister (2nd Update)
Yun Zuomo wasn’t angry, "Then how about I read to you? Fourth Sister loves children who can read the most!"
"Really?" Yun Mu asked.
Sister seems to really like reading.
"Of course it’s true!"
The three children quickly believed and were willing to play with Yun Zuomo, letting her read to them.
Shi Jiayu smiled at Yun Zuomo.
Yun Zuomo returned the smile, holding the hands of the three children and leading them away.
There were many things she didn’t know before, but last night Auntie told her everything. She understood and realized a lot.
One should not speak of their mother’s faults, but she couldn’t deny that Auntie was wrong, terribly wrong.
She wanted to make amends, but didn’t know how.
Yun Jinnian got up at night, ate a few bites, and then went back to sleep.
Coincidentally, she was having her period, and she didn’t want to move at all, so she curled up on the kang reading medical books. Occasionally, her three younger stepbrothers and three younger stepsisters would come to chat with her, giving her a sense of stolen leisure for half a day.
"At the beginning of human life, nature is inherently good. Though people’s natures are similar, their habits make them different..." Yun Mu recited, shaking his head as he did so.
Yun Jinnian covered her mouth and laughed.
"Well done!"
Receiving praise, Yun Mu was extremely happy and loved studying even more.
Even Yun He and Yun Kuan secretly put in extra effort, all for a word of praise from Yun Jinnian.
Watching her three stepbrothers being so earnest, Yun Jinnian said, "They should have a tutor who can teach them both literary and martial arts, so they can pave their own bright future!"
"Sister..." Yun Zuomo called out softly.
Yun Jinnian looked at Yun Zuomo, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don’t want to hold a grudge over our past feelings or the adults’ entanglements."
Yun Zuomo’s eyes turned red instantly.
"Zuomo, Qingqing, Qingzhi, we are sisters in this life and won’t have another chance in the next. If we truly want to get along, we should be sincere, more honest, and more trusting. I believe we will get along well!"
The three of them nodded vigorously.
Yun Jinnian didn’t know how much they took in or understood. She just wanted to give them a chance for their past acts of spying and inform them of her position in the Yun Residence. She also remembered how she had once cried out for help to no avail and wanted to lend them a hand.
This was their only chance; if they missed it, they would miss it forever.
She would never acknowledge them again.
"Sister, thank you!" Yun Zuomo said solemnly.
Yun Jinnian smiled, shook her head, and flipped through a book. After a long time, she said, "No need to thank me, thank yourselves!"
She didn’t want to say anything more.
Saying too much would be meaningless.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi understood and could not help but break into a cold sweat.
They also secretly rejoiced for taking this step initially.
After staying in Niannian Garden for a few days, once her period passed, Yun Jinnian decided to visit the Princess Residence.
Since she was going, she decided to take Xu Xinmo, Yun Musi, and Yun Mulan with her.
Early in the morning, the group set off from Yun Residence and headed towards the Princess Residence on Vermilion Bird Street.
The three stepbrothers were the most excited, chattering away with Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian smiled, occasionally responding to them, and opened the curtain of the carriage to let them see the bustling market crowd.
"When you grow up, you’ll be able to travel anywhere you want!"
"Really, Sister?"
"Of course it’s true. So you must study hard. In a few days, I’ll find you a tutor. The tutor will teach you to read and write, and also martial arts. Only those with skills can travel all over the world and see all the mountains and rivers!"
"Will Sister come with us?" Yun He asked seriously.
