Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 3: Returning to the Yun Family Again

  On that day, before it got dark, Old Man Yun brought his eldest son Yun Xiangwen, who had borrowed a car from the city, to pick up Yun Xi and take him home.

  "Xixi, what's going on?" As soon as she returned home, her usually elegant and composed grandmother asked anxiously. Just now someone came to deliver a message, but didn't make it clear.

  As soon as Old Lady Yun asked, Yun Xi immediately teared up, "Mom, when Hua married me, it was because Grandpa Liang said that to inherit the Liang family property, he had to marry me." She still has some feelings for him, otherwise why would she be so heartbroken?

  "You're still pregnant with a child, and they don't want this one either?" Cloud Granny immediately hugged Cloud Xi tightly.

  Yun Xi's eyes, already red from crying, welled up with tears: "He brought back a woman today, who is already four months pregnant. His mother even gave her the bangles that symbolize being the daughter-in-law of the Liang family."

  "Alas, what a sin! She shouldn't have married into the Liang family in the first place." Old Lady Yun gently wiped away Yun Xi's tears.

  "Xīxī, don't cry! Crying is not good for the child, it will make you look like a little old man." Gentle big auntie hugged Xīxī, red-eyed and patted her back softly to comfort her.

  Yun Xi cried heartbrokenly, and Old Master Yun silently reached out to press his hand on her wrist to take her pulse. She's still pregnant, such intense emotional fluctuations aren't good for the baby.

  Yun Qingran had been paying attention to Yun Xi's body all along, and the spiritual energy was circulating in her body non-stop. Fortunately, it was just a slight instability earlier, and her pulse was a bit stagnant, but after being cleared by her spiritual energy, everything was fine again.

  With a loud bang, Big Uncle Yun slapped his palm heavily on the table, "I'll go find them, my Yun family's daughter can't be bullied by the Liang family like this."

  Xiao Shu Yun, who had been indifferent all along, also stood up without a word and walked out of the gate with an expressionless face. How could his dearest sister be bullied by outsiders?

  "Stop." Cloud Old Master looked at his daughter, whose eyes were crying like a rabbit's, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. The Cloud family had always been prosperous on the surface but declining in reality, and for generations they only had this one girl, who was his precious darling since childhood. "What can you do by going there? Beat them up, and then what?"

  "Otherwise, would you just let your sister be bullied like that?" Yun Xiangfei was anxious, could it be that he could do nothing but watch her being bullied?

  "Now the most important thing is your sister, as for the Liang family, you can just go and beat them up, it won't hurt their bones, sooner or later they will be dealt with, beating them once is too cheap for them." Old Master Yun looked at Yun Xi, "Xi Xi, what do you plan to do with this child?"

  "Dad!" Yun Xiang Yan heard it and became anxious, could it be that he was telling his sister not to have the child?

  Yun Lao Ye Zi waved his hand to stop the next words. "Listen to what your sister says, your sister wants to stay, then this is a child of my Yun family, and from now on will be surnamed Yun."

  "Dad." Yun Xi wiped away her tears and looked at Old Man Yun with gratitude. "This child is mine, has nothing to do with the Liang family."

  "Good!" Cloud Old Master nodded in approval, looking at his own daughter. He also wanted Cloud Xi to keep the child, not just for her body, but also because this child was innocent.

  "When the child is born, you go and get a divorce, and sign a divorce agreement stating that the child has nothing to do with the Liang family in the future, so that when the child grows up, they won't come looking for them."

  Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Xiang said, "Old Master is a doctor, he has always put human life first, and whenever he heard someone wanted to abort their child, he would persuade them for half a day, how could he want his sister to abort her child?"

  "Tomorrow I'll buy a chicken to supplement you. Others get fat when they're pregnant, but look at you, you've lost so much weight." Chen Rong said, stroking Yun Xi's face. When she married into the family, Yun Xi was only 13 years old, and she had always treated her like a younger sister. Now looking at the lively and lovely girl who had become so quiet, she felt heartache.

  "It's also, starting tomorrow, I'll get you some delicious food to eat more. This state of yours is not good for the child." Old Lady Yun sighed too. "Ah, just now in a hurry to ask you, forgot that we haven't eaten yet. I'll go bring out the warm dishes."

  "Mom, I'll go! You stay with XiXi." Chen Rong stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

  Yun Lao Tai Tai said that, Yun Xi suddenly realized she was hungry. At noon because of Liang Tian Hua's two people, she was busy collecting things and didn't have time to cook, and later when she was hungry, she forgot.

  There weren't many dishes for dinner, as everyone was worried about Yun Xi. Grandma Yun and Chen Rong didn't have the heart to cook much either, but they still steamed an egg especially for Yun Xi.

  She scooped up the delicate egg custard with a ceramic spoon, and Yun Xi's eyes turned red again. In the Liang family, even when she was pregnant, she still had to cook her own meals; who would care whether she ate well or not?

  "Hey, why are you crying again?" Chen Rong, sitting next to Yun Xi, took out a handkerchief and wiped away Yun Xi's tears.

  "It's nothing, I just haven't had mom's egg drop soup in a long time." Yun Xi took a deep breath and forced a smile, but her smile only made others feel more heartbroken. Even Grandma Yun and Chen Rong almost shed tears at the sight of it.

  The atmosphere at the dinner table was very heavy, without any joy of reunion after a long time apart. Everyone just silently ate their meal, but felt like they were chewing wax.

  Yun Qingran had been using her spiritual power to watch over the loved ones from her previous life, and everyone was here except for her cousin Yun Chenyi. However, this heavy atmosphere dampened a lot of the joy she felt at seeing them again, and it also made her even more resentful towards the Liang family.

  "Let's get some rest early today! Rongrong, why don't you stay here tonight and keep XiXi company? Let Ahyan take care of Yitian on the way back. Cloud Grandma was also tired, seeing that everyone's face was exhausted, so she let Chen Rong stay behind. Yun Xiangyan couldn't stay, he had to return someone else's car, most importantly, his grandson Yun Chenyiyu was alone at home."

  Ben still wanted to say something, but when he saw Yun Xi's red and swollen eyes, he couldn't say anything. A low sigh went unheard, and he turned around and walked back to his own room. He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he wouldn't be able to help himself from beating up that scum.

  Yun Lao Ye also let out a low sigh as he saw Yun Xiang's hesitation. Yun Xiang was a man of few words, and the person closest to him in his family was this sister. Seeing the person he cared about most feeling down, how could he not know that kind of unbearable feeling?

  "Xixi, take a good rest." Forget it, he's also sad, might as well go back to his room.

  "Alright, goodbye Dad." Yun Xi nodded.

  Everyone ate quickly. After Yun Xi finished eating, she went back to her room. Chen Rong cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks before going to accompany her.

  Yun Qingran saw that Yun Xi had already calmed down and would no longer have any great emotional fluctuations, sinking into his cultivation with only a wisp of divine sense left to pay attention to the outside situation.
