Chapter 232

"Father, are you okay—"

The woman looked at Yun Jiande with concern, her eyes filled with uncontrollable care.

Yun Jiande had lost an arm and was sweating profusely from the pain, but he desperately opened his eyes to look at the woman.

"Jie'er... Father... help Father..."

After finishing, Yun Jiande rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

Only then did Yun Qiyue know the identity of that woman: the eldest daughter of the Yun family—Yun Yajie, the pride of the Yun family at Huangyun Academy.

But this fact did not make Yun Qiyue feel fear or anything else; her expression didn't even change.

She was also very curious about what kind of ability Yun Yajie, who had always lived in other people's mouths, actually had.

"Father—Father—" Yun Yajie shouted a few times, and seeing that Yun Jiande didn't react, she shouted to the outside, "Bai Xue, why aren't you coming over yet."

Then, a delicate woman dressed as a maid, also in white, walked in.

Of course, although both were in white, the styles were vastly different.

Yun Yajie's looked more noble and elegant, while the maid's was very ordinary.

"Eldest Miss—" the maid bowed respectfully to Bai Xue.

"Quick, take my father out and treat his injuries first." Yun Yajie still frowned, her eyes full of worry.

"Yes—" Bai Xue said and was about to help Yun Jiande.

"Wait—" Yun Qiyue spoke up at the right time.

Yun Yajie looked at Yun Qiyue upon hearing this.

However, when she looked at Yun Qiyue, she frowned slightly.

Then, Yun Yajie looked at Yun Qiyue as if she had just recognized her, looking at Yun Qiyue with pleasant surprise, "Qiyue sister? Is it you? You're better? That's truly great."

There was unspeakable happiness on Yun Yajie's face.

She looked very sincere.

But Yun Qiyue couldn't help but frown.

The people of the Yun family's first branch were all good at acting; could it be that Yun Yajie was like this too?

After all, even Grandfather hadn't noticed the faces of the first branch people back then.

Holding a skeptical attitude, Yun Qiyue didn't make a sound, only looking at Yun Yajie coldly.

And Yun Yarou on the side couldn't take it anymore and clamored, "Eldest Sister, it was she who had someone cut off Father's arm; you feel happy for her, but she might not appreciate it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yajie looked at Yun Yarou, then looked at Yun Qiyue in surprise, somewhat incredulous, "Qiyue, is what Rou'er said true?"

"True." Yun Qiyue admitted very straightforwardly.

There was nothing she couldn't admit to doing herself.

Yun Yajie still didn't quite believe it upon hearing this.

Then she looked around at everyone, her gaze pausing for a moment on Ye Lanjue, then falling on the old man.

"Grandfather, what is going on? Did Father do something wrong?"

Although Yun Yongyuan was disappointed with these people of the first branch, his attitude toward Yun Yajie, this granddaughter, was still better.

After all, this granddaughter had been worry-free since she was a child and was very kind.

So, facing this granddaughter's question, Yun Yongyuan also softened his expression and told the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yajie looked at Yun Jiande in shock, as if she wanted to confirm whether what Grandfather said was true.

However, Yun Jiande was still in a coma at this time.

Yun Yajie then looked at Yun Qiyue with guilt, "Qiyue sister, I'm truly sorry; I didn't expect Father would do such a thing."

When speaking, Yun Yajie had an undisguisable disappointment in her eyes when she looked at Yun Jiande, and then she said, "Sister knows that the things in this storehouse are priceless, and now Father has also lost an arm for this; how about this, Qiyue sister, you accommodate a little, and I will do my best to compensate you with some things within three days, what do you think?"

If Yun Yajie had said that Yun Jiande's arm was compensation for those things, Yun Qiyue would definitely have refused.

However, Yun Yajie said she would compensate.

Since that was the case, it was easy to discuss.

After all, even if she cut off both of Yun Jiande's hands, it wouldn't be of much use to her; it was better to get things, which was more practical.

Besides, since this Yun Yajie could say such things, her ability probably wouldn't be bad either.

So, Yun Qiyue said, "Fine, then the other hand is owed first; if the things you give can't satisfy me, I will still take back that hand."

"Don't push your luck." Yun Yarou said angrily on the side.

"Rou'er, stop talking." Yun Yajie said, then forced a smile at Yun Qiyue, "Qiyue, let's listen to you; after all, we are the ones in the wrong, and it is only right to compensate you."

Yun Yajie's appearance made Yun Qiyue unable to find any fault at all.

She was a dignified, sensible, and good-tempered person; no wonder she had always lived in other people's mouths; she was indeed not on the same level as Yun Yarou.

However, whether Yun Yajie was truly good or fake good had nothing to do with her; she only cared about her own things.

So, seeing Yun Yajie agree, Yun Qiyue didn't stay long, "Grandfather, then I'll leave first."

Yun Yongyuan thought for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Grandfather will go with you."

Yun Qiyue nodded and didn't refuse.

Then, adding Chen Feng, the group of four left the empty treasure vault first.

On the way to the General's Mansion, Yun Yongyuan was relatively silent.

Yun Qiyue glanced at her grandfather but didn't speak.

To be honest, she was actually quite confused in her heart.

After all, Grandfather's attitude toward the first branch and even the old Madam was truly too indifferent.

And toward herself, it was too caring.

Hard to understand.

"Qiyue." Suddenly, the old man spoke.

Yun Qiyue stopped and looked at the old man quietly.

"Grandfather hopes that you will not have conflicts with Jie'er." Yun Yongyuan said, his expression somewhat heavy, yet somewhat worried.

Yun Qiyue didn't speak immediately but looked at the old man.

She didn't feel very surprised that the old man would say this.

Because Grandfather was different toward Yun Yajie; she could tell.

Seeing that his granddaughter hadn't answered for a long time, Yun Yongyuan was somewhat anxious.

Only then did Yun Qiyue speak faintly, "As long as she doesn't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to provoke her."

She wasn't a person who loved to cause trouble, so where would she have so much leisure time to take the initiative to provoke people?

However, many times, even if she didn't look for trouble, trouble would automatically come to her door.

For trouble that came to her door, she would never avoid it.

Trouble and such were the factors that made people grow, weren't they? No one's life could be smooth sailing.

Upon hearing Yun Qiyue's words, Yun Yongyuan finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Qiyue, it's not that Grandfather is biased toward her, it's just..." After hesitating for a while, Yun Yongyuan said, "Grandfather is afraid you will suffer."

Yun Qiyue didn't think so, "Grandfather, suffering is a blessing."

Ye Lanjue on the side, "I will not let her suffer."

Yun Yongyuan: "..."

These two, the heavy mood from just a moment ago instantly vanished.

Truly—

Forget it—

Yun Yongyuan suddenly looked at Ye Lanjue, "There is something I want you to help with."

It was a very solemn look.
