Chapter 4: Volume 1, Chapter 4: Is This Denying Her Identity?

"Stop!"

Just as Yun Qiyue approached, she was blocked by two servants who jumped out from the gatehouse with sticks.

"This is the General's Mansion, not just any cat or dog can enter..." The gatekeeper was about to say the line that all snobbish servants would say when he suddenly saw Yun Qiyue pull off the red clothes covering her head, revealing the colorful clothes underneath... and most importantly, that yin-yang face.

Half angel, half devil; such a face couldn't be found anywhere else in the capital.

"Thump—" One servant was so scared that the stick in his hand fell to the ground. His face turned pale, and he couldn't speak at all.

The other servant's face was also pale, and his hands were shaking, but he still stared tightly at Yun Qiyue. "You, how are you here? No, no, are you human or a ghost?"

Yun Qiyue clapped her hands with a smile. "Good question."

Then, her expression turned increasingly sinister, and paired with her black-and-white yin-yang face, even in broad daylight, it rendered the scene with a terrifying atmosphere.

"Today is my funeral; it wouldn't make sense for my funeral to be missing me, would it?" Yun Qiyue answered the servant's first question with a smile, scaring the servant into falling to the ground.

As for the other servant, he was like a statue, his face pale, looking as if he were about to faint at any moment.

Yun Qiyue clicked her tongue. The servants of this General's Mansion really were of poor quality.

But being poor was good; being poor was easy to deal with.

"I already said it's my funeral, so I'm definitely not human, I'm a ghost. If you have an opinion, go find Yama. Now, get out—immediately, right now, get lost!"

The two gatekeepers, seeing Yun Qiyue like this, no longer had the ability to think and quickly hid to the side.

But before Yun Qiyue could step into the General's Mansion, she heard a stern, angry voice. "Who is playing god in our General's Mansion? Beat her out, Steward!"

Yun Qiyue looked toward the source of the voice and couldn't help but frown.

She had no impression of that person.

But, a steward?

If she remembered correctly, the steward of the General's Mansion should be Yun Bo.

Yun Bo was a disabled soldier with a leg injury that the original owner's father, Yun Tian, had brought back from the battlefield. He later became the steward of the General's Mansion and took good care of the original owner.

Now that the steward had been replaced, could something have happened to Yun Bo?

Just as Yun Qiyue was thinking this, she saw several servants approaching her.

Without a word, she directly raised her long legs and kicked the chest of the servant who was preparing to attack her.

"Bang—" With a sound, the servant was kicked away.

Everyone: "..." How could this woman have such great strength?

Everyone's focus was on Yun Qiyue's innate divine strength, but no one noticed her miserable expression at this moment.

Because the movements ingrained in her soul were severely incompatible with the quality of this delicate body, she had slightly strained her crotch while doing the splits.

This... if her partners in the Special Agent Division knew she could get injured by such a small move, they would probably laugh until they choked.

To save what little face she had left, Yun Qiyue pretended nothing happened and retracted her leg, but the glint of tears in her eyes showed just how much pain she was actually in.

But no matter how much it hurt, facing the several servants who were attacking her one after another, she had to endure the pain while using her hands and feet to knock the others down.

Until only that so-called steward was left.

"Well? Do you want me to kick you away and enter myself, or will you go in and invite your master out?" Yun Qiyue crossed her arms and looked at the steward with a half-smile.

The steward looked at the servants on the ground, spat out a "useless things," then gave Yun Qiyue a vicious look, left a "you just wait," and hurried inside to invite someone.

Yun Qiyue wasn't in a hurry; she simply sat on the steps of the General's Mansion, facing the crowd.

"Ah—"

Just then, someone exclaimed, and then retreated in horror. "This, I said why she looked so familiar, it's actually the third young lady of the Yun family. Could it be that she died unjustly, so her ghost has come to seek revenge?"

This person's voice was loud, and it was very jarring in the quiet atmosphere. Yun Qiyue naturally saw him, and then Yun Qiyue locked onto him and grinned: "Yes, you guessed right."

That person: "... Ah, a ghost!"

Then he fell to the ground on his butt.

But looking at his expression, it seemed he wasn't scared by the fact that she was a "ghost," but by her face.

Yun Qiyue helplessly touched her face. Tsk tsk, she hadn't looked in a mirror yet; she didn't know exactly how ugly she had become.

While Yun Qiyue was distracted, after a moment of silence, there was a burst of discussion. "Where are there ghosts in broad daylight? Besides, look, she has a shadow; she's definitely not a ghost."

"Then why did the Yun family say she died?"

"Who knows, there are many dirty things in big families..."

"..."

While everyone was discussing, the people from the General's Mansion finally arrived late.

Yun Qiyue patted the non-existent dust off her skirt and stood up, turning to face the people coming out of the General's Mansion, the corners of her lips slowly curling into an arc.

These people coming out were exactly her eldest uncle Yun Jiande and her third uncle Yun Jianye's families.

They had come quite completely.

However, this so-called eldest uncle and third uncle were not born of the same mother as her own father, but were born to her grandfather's concubine. After her grandmother passed away, that concubine was elevated to the position of wife, becoming the current Old Matriarch of the Wuan Marquis Mansion, and the concubine's son also jumped to become a legitimate son.

The Wuan Marquis Mansion was right next door, connected to the General's Mansion. However, because her grandfather had been away for many years, the property had long been hollowed out by the first and third branches. This was also why, after her grandfather went missing three years ago, the first and third branches couldn't wait to change their faces and seize the General's Mansion.

After scanning the group of people, Yun Qiyue's gaze successfully met Yun Yarou's in the crowd. She wasn't surprised at all to see the horror and disbelief in Yun Yarou's eyes; that expression was as wonderful as seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Heh, Yun Yarou, everything you inflicted on the original owner, I will return to you. Just wait and see.

Yun Qiyue thought, the corners of her lips slightly curved, and she gave Yun Yarou a strange arc.

Looking at Yun Qiyue's expression, Yun Yarou took a step back in horror. If it weren't for her maid supporting her, she would have lost face in public long ago.

But even so, Yun Qiyue's look still made her feel terrified.

Yun Qiyue, why was she still alive?

And, that look...

Yun Yarou wanted to see clearly, but Yun Qiyue had already moved her gaze away.

"Miss, the third young lady is..." The voice of the maid Zhiqin was also trembling, because she and Zhiqi had thrown Yun Qiyue off the cliff.

But, why would Yun Qiyue appear here?

Zhiqin was also a bit panicked.

"Shut up!" Yun Yarou's face was fierce, stopping Zhiqin from continuing.

Idiot, discussing these things at the gate, was she afraid others wouldn't know what she had done?

Zhiqin closed her mouth sensibly, not daring to say more.

And the Yun family, seeing Yun Qiyue at this time, were also very uneasy.

Wasn't it said that Yun Qiyue had broken into the Forbidden Land?

What kind of place was the Forbidden Land? How could she come back alive?

The Yun family's gazes looked toward Yun Yarou intentionally or unintentionally. After all, it was Yun Yarou who came back last night and said that Yun Qiyue had broken into the Forbidden Land.

Yun Yarou's biological mother, Xu Shi, also looked at Yun Yarou at this time. Seeing her daughter's pale face, Xu Shi's heart sank, and then her eyes condensed. She shouted, "Bold thief, how dare you impersonate the young lady of the General's Mansion and play god here! Someone, grab her and take her inside for torture. I want to see who exactly is directing you."

When Yun Qiyue heard this, her expression immediately tightened.

Was this denying her identity? ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
