Chapter (5/22)
Chapter 76 Pensive
“Second brother had made such a big contribution, in future he would surely be Yun fu’s biggest backing,” In the past three years, only today’s good news made Lingxuan smile the most.
“Who wouldn’t agree? When eldest bomu heard of this, she started crying tears of joy, even zumu was unable to restrain her emotions. She couldn’t help it,” When recalling the changes in these three years, Yun Bo couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Bomu: father’s older brother’s wife/paternal aunt
Zumu: Father’s mother/paternal grandmother
In the past three years, he also learned a few skills through experience and was able to firmly have a foothold in the capital. Despite being young, because of his own skills, even when he steps out of Yun fu, he was able to gain a bit of face, which made his parents very happy. And for this, most of the credit goes to Lingxuan.
“They must be surely happy,” Lingxuan said with a slight smile: “Second brother has made such a great contribution, giving face to ancestors of Yun fu. This is something you can’t buy with silver.” Not everyone has the ability to make such a meritorious service. She believes that this act of Yun Yu saving Grand General Meng Yi would surely stir some big changes in the Yun fu.
Fu: residence/manor
“Hehe…,” Yun Bo smiled, then thinking of something, his face suddenly became serious: “Xuan’er, it’s been three years since you have closed the gates. When will you see the guests?”
“Meeting guests? Who are you speaking about?” Lingxuan pensively asked, squinting her eyes.
“Quite a lot, ah,” Yun Bo answered without further thoughts, “You aren’t aware because Yun Jia’s gates have been closed for past here years. However, in these past three years, the number of people thinking about you aren’t in the minority? I even heard hearsay that when you open the gates of the residence, each and every family are preparing to send invitations to you, to invite you to a banquet!” This sort of social gathering, so long as you are in the capital, you can’t avoid it.
Lingxuan has built a cart behind closed and has been working behind closed doors for three years. Many people have become curious about her. To want to inquire about her is also quite reasonable.
闭门造车 (bìménzàochē): lit. to build a cart behind closed doors / to be overly subjective and disregard the outside world (idiom)
After listening to Yun Bo’s words, Lingxuan’s pair of eyes narrowed into slits, realizing that her tranquil life is about to be broken.
Once the Yun jia’s gates are opened, what awaits her is precisely is an unknown storm. Either you die, or I die; apart from this, it is unlikely for there to be any other result.
After settling for three years, she had already made adequate preparations. Moqi Lingxuan, Shangguan Yunlan, I will be waiting for you here.
“The gates of the residence can’t be opened just like that, I will have to pick a day,” Lingxuan replied with a pursed smile: “If such a big joyous occasion as this happened in Yun fu, I surely would have to go to congratulate you and meet zumu. I haven’t seen her for three years. It’s me who is unfilial!”
“It is unlikely for zumu to blame you, but she daily nags about you and Yan’er, not knowing how you sisters have been living in residence. Every time I go back go home after coming here, zumu sends someone to call me and doesn’t stop asking before I tell her everything without hiding anything!” Yun Bo felt that as if he was a messenger pigeon between two residences.
Zumu was worried about Lingxuan, yet she also can’t make any inquiries. He didn’t have any chance but to comfort her to some extent.
So long as everyone is safe and sound, these kinds of things, he doesn’t mind doing.
As Lingxuan thought of her zumu, complicated feelings arose in her heart.
The zumu in her previous life hated her mother the most, but in this life, zumu cared about her. This sort of feeling made her feel guilty and uneasy, not knowing if her zumu was simply concerned about her or if she had any other thoughts.
She can support the people in Yun fu, but she still had her guards raised against them. In this life, the only person she believes in is herself. Even Yun Bo, she can favor and support him, only to control everything in Yun fu in her palms. Regarding this matter, Yun Bo was also aware, but he didn’t really care about this.
