Chapter 908: Chapter 910, Delivering the Skull (8 more updates)
Yun Jinnian spoke, looking contemplative.
Xu Xinmo was immediately anxious.
Although Yun Jinnian didn’t know whose bellyband it was, she did, but she couldn’t reveal it now, or else her grandmother would not forgive her.
Instantly, she lost the thought of asking Yun Jinnian for some benefits while unwrapping the gift.
"Cousin, I’ll go back to Yicai Garden first and come back later to help you unwrap gifts!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and agreed.
Xu Xinmo hurriedly left, and Yun Musi and Yun Mulan also couldn’t stay, so they left right after.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing, however, continued unwrapping, helping Nanny An register the items, while the three children, Yun Kuan, Yun He, and Yun Mu, played for a while and then went back.
"Commandery Princess, the eldest miss didn’t come today!" Shi Jiayu whispered.
Since she came to the Capital City, having stayed with the Yun Family for some time, it seemed she had seen all kinds of peculiar things.
"Didn’t she say she’s pregnant? It’s normal for her not to come!" Yun Jinnian responded calmly.
Whether Yun Muyou came or not didn’t matter at all since there wasn’t much sisterhood to speak of; she simply didn’t care.
If Yun Muyou thought she would be upset, then she was truly overthinking!
"Are all these things to be sent to the Princess Residence?"
"No need to send all of them; it’s always nice to leave some for others, don’t you think?"
Shi Jiayu understood and burst into laughter.
Laughing so hard tears came out, she finally said, "I need to drink some tea, can’t handle it anymore!"
Yun Jinnian gave her tacit approval.
She took the gift Chu Yu gave her, opened the exquisite box, and found various gemstone hairpins, polished smooth without any edges.
She selected one, inserted it into her hair, and leisurely examined it in the mirror, slowly smiling.
Soon, she would marry Chu Yu, becoming his wife.
"Ah..."
Yun Zuomo cried out.
Yun Qingqing and Yun Qingzhi curiously looked over and followed with a scream, "Ah..."
"What happened?" Nanny An asked, stepping forward to inquire.
"Nanny An, look, look..." Yun Zuomo pointed at the box, her voice breaking in fear.
Nanny An glanced at the box and, despite her vast experiences, was startled, "Outrageous!"
Hemei and Henuan also took a close look, their expressions changing.
"What happened?" Yun Jinnian walked over slowly, asking softly.
"Commandery Princess, someone sent this!" Nanny An said, lifting the box up to show Yun Jinnian.
Inside the box was a skull.
Yun Jinnian was prepared, neither frightened nor disgusted.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Nanny An, keep it first; once you’ve recorded everything, we’ll analyze who sent it!"
The number of people who found her, Yun Jinnian, unappealing wasn’t many, and by carefully watching those few, they could uncover the truth.
Just a skull, could it really make her panic, thinking bad luck had come?
If so, that person was truly mistaken.
She had endured a miserable previous life till her thirties, much less this life where everything was smooth; she had obtained many things other women longed for but couldn’t seek.
She wouldn’t consider dying from something like this.
The person behind this really underestimated Yun Jinnian!
Nanny An was momentarily surprised, quickly closing the box and putting it aside, cursing the ill-omen inwardly.
Today was the Commandery Princess’s coming-of-age ceremony; who was heartless enough to do this?
Yun Jinnian looked at her three frightened half-sisters, shaking her head slightly, yet with some sympathy, "Come sit down, have some sweet soup, chat with me. Once you’re married, the chances to sit and talk like this won’t be many. Let Hemei and the others clean up!"
