Chapter 234

The story between the old man and the current old Madam was very simple.

It could be summarized in a few sentences.

That was, back then, Chen Daimei was actually a cousin from a side branch of the old man's mother's maiden family, and after the old man married his childhood sweetheart, who was Yun Qiyue's biological grandmother and Yun Tian's biological mother, she was forcibly stuffed to the old man as a concubine.

The old man was only interested in two things in his life: first, martial arts, and second, his childhood sweetheart wife, Gao Wan.

Of course, later he was also interested in the children born to his wife, and he could be said to love Yun Qiyue because of her.

However, Gao Wan had no children for three years after entering the house, so the old man's mother made the decision to let Chen Daimei enter the mansion.

The old man didn't like Chen Daimei and never touched her.

However, with the help of the old Madam at the time, Chen Daimei drugged the old man and schemed against him.

Afterward, Chen Daimei became pregnant with Yun Jiande.

It was just that Chen Daimei was not treated well by the old man because of her pregnancy; on the contrary, the old man hated Chen Daimei to the bone.

Because, back then, everyone knew that the old man was an infatuated person who only loved Gao Wan.

If it weren't for the old Madam stopping him, the old man could have really done the deed of stabbing Chen Daimei to death with a sword back then.

Afterward, out of guilt, the old man treated Gao Wan even better.

And it was strange to say, but at this time, Gao Wan also became pregnant.

Later, Chen Daimei and Gao Wan gave birth to a son each, but Gao Wan's body was damaged due to childbirth and could not give birth again, and Chen Daimei thought of giving birth to a few more to consolidate her position, so she repeated the same trick.

If it were just Chen Daimei, the old man might not have been easily tricked, but the old man's biological mother intervened again, which was impossible to guard against.

Just like that, there was Yun Jianye of the third branch.

Later, Gao Wan died early, and the old Madam also passed away two years later; before she died, the old Madam asked the old man to elevate Chen Daimei to the position of legitimate wife, so that her two grandsons could become legitimate sons.

A rather melodramatic story.

This was also the reason why the old man didn't treat the current old Madam well.

And this matter was actually not a secret.

Because it caused a huge stir back then.

The old man even directly fed Chen Daimei a sterility-inducing soup when he was schemed against again and Chen Daimei gave birth to Yun Jianye.

Only then was the possibility of being schemed against again finally cut off.

The reason Ye Lanjue knew was also because this matter was not a secret; after being with Yun Qiyue, naturally, someone told him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue only felt that although Grandfather looked indifferent to Chen Daimei, he was also an infatuated person.

It was just that, like her father, his infatuation was only for one person.

Therefore, Chen Daimei was not worth sympathizing with.

This matter, Ye Lanjue finished telling Yun Qiyue in two or three sentences.

And at this time, it was already late.

The Marquis Mansion sent someone to pass a message, saying they wanted Yun Qiyue to go over for a meal together.

Yun Qiyue refused without thinking.

The General's Mansion's dinner was soon delivered, and Ye Lanjue naturally stayed to dine with Yun Qiyue.

After dinner, it was basically dark.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue several times, but didn't see any intention from Ye Lanjue to move.

Yun Qiyue had to speak, "Imperial Uncle, aren't you going back?"

Ye Lanjue raised his eyes, "Not going back."

Yun Qiyue: "But... this is the General's Mansion."

She wanted to go to Jiuyuan to find out about the Hidden World, but with the Imperial Uncle here, she couldn't move.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue with deep eyes, "Are you chasing me away?"

The tone was plain, but the words carried a tone of certainty, making Yun Qiyue inexplicably guilty.

"No—Imperial Uncle, it's just that with you here, I don't know how Grandfather will look at me?" Yun Qiyue pretended to be awkward.

As if she were really afraid of being seen by her elders.

But, clearly, she had disappeared with Ye Lanjue for a few days just a few days ago.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue deeply, and Yun Qiyue also looked at Ye Lanjue.

Just when Yun Qiyue thought Ye Lanjue was going to be angry and was about to give up and go to the Forbidden Land to solve her confusion another day, Ye Lanjue suddenly stood up, "I remembered I have something to do, I'll leave first."

As he spoke, without waiting for Yun Qiyue to react, Ye Lanjue disappeared before her eyes.

An unexpected joy, right?

After Ye Lanjue left, Yun Qiyue instructed Qingyan and the others to guard the courtyard well, then slipped into her room.

Then, Yun Qiyue left through the window of the room.

It was just that Yun Qiyue didn't know that her actions were all seen by Ye Lanjue, who actually hadn't left.

Watching Yun Qiyue leave the city, Ye Lanjue knew where Yun Qiyue was going.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Lanjue arrived at the Forbidden Land a step ahead of Yun Qiyue.

After Yun Qiyue arrived at the Forbidden Land, she was originally prepared to go to the Library Pavilion, but she ran into Jiuyuan head-on.

Jiuyuan's appearance, however, looked as if he were waiting for her.

"You knew I was coming?" Yun Qiyue was confused.

Jiuyuan shook his head, "Don't know."

But then, Jiuyuan smiled evilly, "However, I feel that you and I have a great affinity, why don't..."

"Master Jiuyuan Pavilion Master!" Yun Qiyue hurriedly interrupted the flirtatious words Jiuyuan was about to say, "I haven't been here for a long time, I want to go to the Library Pavilion."

She still had principles.

Since she decided to be with Ye Lanjue, she would never flirt with other men, not even her master.

Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qiyue and curled his lips.

"Fine."

Then, Jiuyuan turned and left very straightforwardly.

Looking at Jiuyuan's back, although Yun Qiyue was worried about whether she had angered him just now, she was more interested in the Hidden World than this.

So, Yun Qiyue still walked toward the Library Pavilion.

It was just that as soon as she arrived at the Library Pavilion, Yun Qiyue was speechless.

Because Jiuyuan was smiling and leaning against the door of the Library Pavilion with a bewitching look.

So, the whole 'angry or not angry' thing didn't exist at all.

"Master." Yun Qiyue walked over.

"Good disciple." Jiuyuan reached out and touched the top of Yun Qiyue's head.

However, when Jiuyuan's hand landed on the top of Yun Qiyue's head, Yun Qiyue had a very strange feeling.

But because the other party was her master, Yun Qiyue didn't think much about it.

After the two met at the door, they went to the Library Pavilion together.

It was just that, usually looking at the room full of books, Yun Qiyue could still treat it calmly, but today Yun Qiyue felt dizzy.

Although her reading speed wasn't slow, she was anxious to know about the Hidden World, and flipping through them one by one was also exhausting.

So, Yun Qiyue looked at Jiuyuan expectantly, "Master, do you know where the books about the Hidden World are?"

After Yun Qiyue finished asking, her eyes were full of expectation.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's expectant little eyes, and had an urge to take her into his arms and gnaw on her properly.

But afraid of scaring Yun Qiyue, Ye Lanjue suppressed this thought.

Then, Ye Lanjue reached out, and a book automatically flew into his hand, "You probably need this."

Yun Qiyue's eyes lit up.

Master is so amazing!

And at this time, at the General's Mansion, someone was quietly sneaking into Yun Qiyue's Mingyue Building...
