Chapter 5: You have a problem with blowing up your own front door?
"What nonsense are you talking about! No matter what, I am still your elder!" Yun Ting pointed at Yun Juan while tugging at his clothes, indicating that he had left in a hurry.
I was so angry when I saw the state of the gate that I forgot all about how disheveled I was.
"Elder? You won't open the door for your own daughter on her first day back? Anyway, it's my own front door, so what's wrong with me blowing up my own front door? Does Prime Minister Yun have any unique insights?"
"You're not even registered in the family genealogy yet, and you're already thinking of yourself as part of the family?" Yun Ting felt that it was a very wise thing not to have Yun Juan registered in the family genealogy back then.
Yun Juan had just transmigrated, and the memories in her head were not yet fully integrated. If Yun Ting hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that when the original owner was just born, the old lady in the family suddenly fell seriously ill.
That day, a highly accomplished monk suddenly wandered to this place and saw dark clouds covering the Yun family. He calculated that a cursed star was about to be born into the Yun family.
Yun Juan was not included in the family genealogy and was raised on the estate. Few outsiders knew that the Yun family had an eldest daughter who was raised outside.
When he was young, his older brother Yunlin would often secretly visit him and bring him clothes that his mother had sewn by hand. But after Yunlin chose to join the army, he never came again.
Now, Yun Juan sorted through the original owner's memories and felt that the so-called Taoist priest might have been premeditated.
She hadn't believed in ghosts and spirits before, but since she was indeed possessed by a wandering ghost, she had no choice but to believe now.
As for that old Taoist priest... Hmph! Coincidence upon coincidence, when put together, ceases to be coincidence and becomes an accident.
At this moment, a woman walked out from behind the main hall. Yun Juan looked her up and down. She had a decent overall demeanor, but lacked a certain imposing presence. Her clothes were also rather simple, suggesting that she was not a favorite.
Moreover, judging from her walking posture, she seems to be a rather mild-mannered person.
Seeing the woman come out, Yunlin pulled Yunqian along and strode forward: "Mother, why did you come out? It's windy outside, be careful your illness doesn't worsen!"
Upon hearing Yun Lin's words, Yun Quan took another closer look. Beneath her pale face lay a pair of dark, cloudy eyes, and her frail health was likely due to years of being bedridden.
"Is that Quan'er? Quan'er is back?" Wei Wan looked at the thin girl in front of her, her eyes filled with tears.
She wanted to reach out and touch Yun Juan, but she didn't dare to. She had dreamed of this moment countless times, but every time dawn broke, it was just a dream.
“Mother, it really is my sister, my sister is back.” Yunlin took his mother Wei Wan’s hand and placed it in Yun Juan’s hand.
Yun Juan instinctively tried to break free; she wasn't used to being touched. But when she saw the tears in Wei Wan's eyes and her evasive gaze that clearly wanted to get closer, she softened at that moment.
She didn't understand what this warm feeling in her heart was. She thought it was the original owner's obsession at work. Since she had taken over someone else's body, she might as well do her filial duty for the original owner.
"Mother, it's Juan'er, it's me, I'm back." Yun Juan readily took Wei Wan's hand, and she saw that the evasiveness in Wei Wan's eyes had disappeared.
"Back then...it was all my fault...if it weren't for..." Wei Wan started to cry as she thought of her painful memories.
"Mother, isn't it good news that my sister is back? Let's not talk about this today." Yunlin was afraid that her sister wouldn't know how to respond to her mother's love, and she was also afraid that her mother would blame her.
Over the years, Wei Wan has been depressed ever since Yun Juan was sent away, and she has been taking medicine all the time. Yun Lin understands that her mother's illness is due to her heart. Even after she had her younger sister, she didn't say it, but she still missed Yun Juan.
We consulted all the renowned doctors, and all of them said that a mental illness requires a mental cure.
"Brother is right, it's all in the past now, and I'm back, aren't I?" Yun Juan didn't even glance at Yun Ting, treating him like he was invisible.
By the time they finished speaking, quite a few people had already gathered in the hall. Everyone had heard the loud noise, and with Yun Ting present, some were there to watch the spectacle, while others were simply there to make their presence known to Yun Ting.
"Oh, my lord, who did I think had returned? It turns out it's the eldest young lady who's caused such a commotion! Anyone who didn't know better would think the Yun family's house had been demolished!"
Aunt Hua was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, and in Yun Juan's eyes she looked like a butterfly. Her clothes were also quite revealing, and it seemed that she was very much favored by Yun Ting.
Yun Juan thought to herself: Good heavens, so this is what Prime Minister Yun likes. No wonder he can't hold back in broad daylight. If he met such a beauty, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back either.
Yun Juan glanced at the group of people standing there. Although Aunt Hua was sharp-tongued, she seemed to be a beautiful good-for-nothing with no knowledge whatsoever.
However, Aunt Yu, who was hidden in the crowd, seemed to be detached from the matter and did not say a word. Perhaps she was not a simple person.
Yun Quan always believed that the fact that she could give birth to her child safely in the vast Prime Minister's mansion without fighting or grabbing was enough to show that she was no ordinary person.
However, the mastermind behind that incident back then has not yet shown up, so this show cannot start yet. Yun Quan will play along with these people and see what the person behind it wants to do.
After all, she was just a newborn child back then, and she wanted to see who the original owner had gotten in her way.
“Master, look at the eldest young lady. She just returned to the manor and doesn’t even greet the other concubines. I spoke to her politely, but she acted as if she didn’t hear me. What if people outside find out that the eldest young lady of the Prime Minister’s manor has no manners?”
As she spoke, Aunt Hua took out her handkerchief and wiped away non-existent tears. After rubbing them, her eyes did indeed have a slight redness, making her look rather pitiful.
These words immediately ignited Yun Ting's anger. From the moment she entered the room and he spoke to her, she hadn't shown him any respect as her father. Now, with Aunt Hua adding fuel to the fire, the anger he had been holding back burned even more fiercely.
"Didn't you hear your aunt talking to you?" Yun Ting's tone was unfriendly, and everyone present could tell that this was a prelude to Yun Ting's anger.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Aunt Hua, covered her mouth and leaned against a pillar in the main hall, looking on with amusement. She even gave Yun Juan a mocking look, as if to say, "Let's see what you do now."
When the Prime Minister's wife, Wei Wan, saw this, she was shocked. She could not allow such a situation to happen. Juan'er had just returned and could not be sent away again. She must have suffered a lot during the years she spent on the estate. The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself.
