Chapter 9: Volume 1, Chapter 9: This Third Young Lady Yun

Hearing the sneeze from the carriage, everyone's expression changed, including Yun Qiyue's.

Just kidding, a sneeze from the Regent's carriage, who else could it be but the Regent?

And in the capital, who wasn't afraid of the Regent?

Of course, because the original owner didn't have many memories of the Regent, she wasn't afraid.

But, knowing there was someone in the carriage, Yun Qiyue's gaze toward Chen Feng was filled with thick unkindness.

She had said this guard looked sneaky and had no good intentions, right? Sure enough, he was waiting for her here!

If she really got into the carriage, wouldn't there be a bunch of trouble coming to her door?

After all, a man and a woman alone in the background of the era...

Despicable!

The sneaky and despicable Chen Feng: "..." Why did he feel that the future mistress was looking at him with a bit of ferocity?

He must have seen it wrong, right?

Compared to Yun Qiyue's unhappiness, the others of the Yun family were only left with horror after hearing the sneeze.

Putting on such a show in front of the Regent, if the Regent wanted to get to the bottom of it, would they still have a way to live?

Thinking of this, the Yun family's faces turned pale, and their eyes looking at the carriage were filled with horror.

The scene was a bit frozen for a while, until a cold voice came from the carriage: "Go back."

Chen Feng: "..."

His master wanted to go back so soon?

Not staying to brush a wave of presence in front of the future mistress?

Although he was puzzled, the displeasure in his master's tone made Chen Feng not dare to delay for half a moment, and he turned the carriage head very skillfully and drove away.

As the carriage gradually drove away, Yun Qiyue looked in the direction the carriage left, but her eyes were full of doubts.

She didn't know why, but when she heard the Regent's voice, she always had a strange feeling, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

But she was sure that the voice, whether it was the original owner's or her own, was the first time she had heard it.

After all, the Regent's voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of coldness, elegant and noble, and it was very recognizable.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yun Qiyue turned back, but just happened to take in the expression of the Yun family members breathing a sigh of relief.

It seemed that these people of the Yun family were all quite afraid of the Regent.

Toward that Regent, she seemed to have a bit more curiosity.

After all, a person who could make everyone fear him must not be simple.

Of course, for such a person who wasn't simple, it was better for her to stay as far away as possible.

Just as she was thinking this, the eunuch who announced the edict's voice came again, "Third young lady Yun, the Emperor's reward, you should thank him."

Yun Qiyue heard this, looked at the eunuch who announced the edict, and nodded, "Hmm, must."

Giving her so many rewards, gratitude was definitely necessary.

The expression on the eunuch who announced the edict's face almost couldn't hold up, "Then why don't you thank him?"

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked at the eunuch who announced the edict with the expression of looking at a fool, "The Emperor isn't here, what should I thank him for?"

The implication was that if she wanted to thank him, she would thank him in front of the Emperor, not to a eunuch who announced the edict.

After all, she had already offended this eunuch who announced the edict, and whether she had sincerity or not didn't really matter. Anyway, no matter how sincere the gratitude was, when it reached the Emperor's ears, it would probably be another version.

So, why should she go through the trouble of kneeling to thank a eunuch? She might as well pretend to be a fool to the end.

Everyone: "..." Is this third young lady Yun's foolishness really cured?

A fool should also know that thanking him means kneeling and saying "Thank you for your grace," right?

However, Yun Qiyue completely ignored everyone's expression and looked at the eunuch who announced the edict with a smile, with a bit of provocation, which made the eunuch who announced the edict's finger tremble at Yun Qiyue.

"Good, you are very good!" The eunuch who announced the edict said this with his sharp voice, stuffed the edict directly into Yun Qiyue's arms, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

To this, Yun Qiyue didn't take it to heart.

Anyway, she was a fool before and didn't understand anything, so it was reasonable to not understand this rule.

As for the Emperor... the monarch of a country, he couldn't possibly care about someone who used to be a fool, right?

Besides, since the Emperor pretended to be benevolent in front of the original owner, he should be even more benevolent in front of her.

Thinking of this, Yun Qiyue didn't care about the schadenfreude in the eyes of the first and third branches, took the edict, and walked toward the General's Mansion.

Yun Jiande and Xu Shi and the others also acted as if nothing had happened and followed behind Yun Qiyue.

However, Yun Qiyue suddenly turned back, one hand on the door, and the other using the edict to block the others of the Yun family.

"What are you doing?" Xu Shi was a bit impatient.

Yun Qiyue pointed to the door next door, "This is my house, please go next door."

Saying this, without a word, she slammed the door shut in front of Yun Jiande and Xu Shi.

Hmph, did they really think her General's Mansion was their home?

Being shut out so impolitely by Yun Qiyue, the expressions of the Yun family members were all not very good.

But with so many people watching, and having made such a scene just now, they didn't dare to lose face in front of the General's Mansion again, so they had to endure their anger and walk toward the gate of the Marquis Mansion next door.

On the other side, after Yun Qiyue entered the General's Mansion, under the nervous gaze of the servants of the General's Mansion, she counted the imperial rewards and then let the servants send them to the warehouse first.

After doing all this, Yun Qiyue walked toward the plain white mourning hall.

Not to mention, although this mourning hall was arranged in a hurry, the things inside were very complete, but all the things were inferior products. Yun Qiyue even doubted whether these things were worth one tael of silver.

Heh, such an inferior mourning hall, was it because the first and third branches were sure that she, a fool and an orphan, wouldn't have anyone come to mourn?

Touching the roughly made coffin, Yun Qiyue suddenly turned back, her gaze locked on the few servants peeking at the door.

"You come over."

The few looked at each other, hesitated for a while, but still walked in.

"These, you take them all down and move them to the Marquis Mansion next door."

Where it came from, it naturally had to be returned to where it came from. She, Yun Qiyue, was not a person who took advantage.

Several servants heard this, and no one spoke.

Obviously, they didn't want to, and didn't dare to.

For the reaction of these people, Yun Qiyue wasn't surprised at all. Who told her, the only master of this General's Mansion, to be a fool in the past? It was normal for the servants not to listen to her.

However, since she was going to live here often in the future, she still had to establish her authority.

"Don't want to listen to me?" Yun Qiyue's expression suddenly turned cold. "Since that's the case, you pack your things and go to the Marquis Mansion next door now. My General's Mansion doesn't need you eating inside and looking outside."

Yun Qiyue's majesty as an agent couldn't be underestimated. Several servants were shocked and knelt down immediately. "We don't dare."

It was don't dare, not don't want to.

Because their slave contracts were still in the General's Mansion. If they really went to the Marquis Mansion, that would be destroying their own future.

The Marquis Mansion wouldn't treat them well without slave contracts, and the General's Mansion wouldn't tolerate them either.

They were all servants in the capital; they wouldn't not understand this.

"Since you don't dare, then do as I say." Yun Qiyue said coldly.

After speaking, Yun Qiyue casually picked up a box from the side, filled it with paper money, and just barely filled the box. Then she casually stuffed the box into the arms of a servant. "These silver and money are for me to thank them for preparing these for me. You remember to tell them not to be polite when you go over, and accept them with peace of mind."

The servants: "..." Those things, who could accept them with peace of mind?

Probably only dead people, right?

"As for those..." Yun Qiyue pointed specifically at the coffin. "Remember to remind them, these are all for dead people. It's unlucky to burn them. Now that they aren't needed, keep them well. After all, everyone has birth, old age, sickness, and death, and they will always be useful one day."

Who would keep a coffin well?

Everyone's expression was indescribable, and then their expressions were even uglier than crying.

After all, they really didn't dare to tell the people on the Marquis Mansion side those words of the eldest young lady.

These were all words cursing people to die; they wouldn't dare even if they had ten guts.

Yun Qiyue took in everyone's expression, but pretended not to see it, and opened her mouth with majesty. "If you do as I say today, you can not only stay in the General's Mansion, but I will also give you two taels of reward money each."

Speaking of this, her tone changed, suddenly becoming sharp. "If you don't do it well or if I find out that you missed what I wanted to convey, don't blame me for selling you out."

Two taels of silver was equivalent to three or four months of monthly wages for these servants.

It was said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Plus, they were indeed afraid of being sold out by Yun Qiyue, so they bit the bullet and cleaned up the mourning hall, or carried or held, and brought those things out.

At this time, in the front hall of the Marquis Mansion next door, the people of the first and third branches were all sitting there with heavy expressions, and no one spoke.

For the past few years, they had been relying on the things of the General's Mansion to have today's scenery.

But, Yun Qiyue suddenly wasn't a fool anymore. Could they still take the things of the General's Mansion as they wanted like before?

The answer was obviously no.

Because of the power of Yun Qiyue, who had recovered to normal, they had already learned today.

"If I had known, the things next door should have been moved over long ago." At this time, Yun Jianye, the third master of the Yun family, spoke, his tone filled with a bit of regret.

These words, weren't they everyone's heart's voice?

"Eldest master, third master..."

Just then, the voice of the gatekeeper sounded. ===== CHAPTER 10 =====
