CHAPTER 787: CHAPTER 789, TURBULENT UNDERCURRENTS (4 MORE UPDATES)

"Nothing!"

Yun Jinnian certainly wouldn’t explain so much to Xu Xinmo.

Xu Xinmo felt annoyed inside.

But slowly she put down her teacup, "Cousin, we’ve been out for a long time, we should head back now!"

"Alright, I’ll see you out!"

No insistence to stay, no further talk.

Yun Musi and Yun Mulan didn’t dare to provoke Xu Xinmo, and even less so did Yun Zuomo and the others.

Yun Jinnian escorted them out of the Han Residence.

Two carriages.

Yun Musi, Yun Mulan, Xu Xinmo with their maids took the first one, while Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, Yun Qingqing with their maids took the second one.

The two carriages seemed alright on the surface, but Yun Jinnian knew that inside, things were definitely different.

Mrs. He was just like that—always looking splendid on the outside but vicious and selfish within.

Sweet on the face but not so in the heart.

Watching the carriages depart, Yun Jinnian snorted coldly, "Putting on a show, she really thinks she’s the smartest person in the world, and everyone else is a fool!"

She turned and went back into the Han Residence, to Chaoyang Academy to accompany Leng Nuan.

On the carriage

Xu Xinmo looked at Yun Musi and Yun Mulan, "Don’t you feel that our cousin is different?"

"Yes, she’s more beautiful now, and she seems more approachable!"

Exactly.

The Yun Jinnian of the past was cold-hearted and cold-mannered, and even her smiles carried a coldness that made her seem distant and inherently bitter.

But the current Yun Jinnian smiled warmly, her whole presence was filled with a warm aura, her face had less sorrow and more confidence.

"Yeah, she’s changed!" Xinmo murmured softly.

The world really does change, ten years east of the river, ten years west. Five years ago, she could bully Yun Jinnian, and even after pushing her into the Lotus Pond and nearly drowning her, nobody reprimanded her,

But now, if she dares to do something outrageous, her eldest uncle will send her back to the Xu Family.

She doesn’t want to go back to the Xu Family, a bunch of detestable people.

From top to bottom, everyone is detestable.

None of those people liked her, and she didn’t like any of them either. It’s better not to see each other. Once she becomes the Empress, she’ll see how she deals with the Xu Family.

The trio of Yun Zuomo were thrilled and excitedly held each other’s hands.

"I can’t believe Fourth Sister still remembers us, and she even allowed us to visit her Princess Residence!" Yun Qingzhi said, unable to contain her excitement.

"Right, I thought Fourth Sister wouldn’t bother with us after she came back this time!" Yun Qingqing was also full of emotion.

"It’s a pity we couldn’t give Fourth Sister the things we made!" Yun Zuomo sighed.

With Xu Xinmo there, they didn’t dare.

"No worries, there will always be a chance in the future!" Yun Qingqing comforted Yun Zuomo.

"Right, right, right, Fourth Sister said she would take us to the Princess Residence to have fun. We’ll find an opportunity to secretly give it to Fourth Sister!" Yun Qingzhi said while thinking that she should make two more silk flowers for Yun Jinnian when they got back.

Even though Yun Jinnian had everything, it was still their way of expressing their feelings.

They wondered if Yun Jinnian would like it?

All harboring their own thoughts, they returned to the residence.

Xu Xinmo went straight to Cixin Academy; Yun Musi and Yun Mulan headed to Nuanxin Academy, while Yun Qingzhi, Yun Zuomo, and Yun Qingqing went to Madam Qianwan’s courtyard.

"Mother..."

Yun Musi called out softly.

Mrs. He emerged from the inner room, smiling as she asked, "Did you see your Fourth Sister?"

"We did!"

"What did she say?" asked Mrs. He.

"Fourth Sister didn’t really say much, but mother, about those things—are we really not going to return them?"

Mrs. He took a deep breath.

Those items were indeed invaluable, and she had specifically borrowed them from Niannian Garden when Yun Zhen and Wang Yanran were getting married.

At first, Nanny Rong did not agree, but for some reason, she relented later on.
