Volume 1: Yun Family Has a Daughter Chapter 19: Yun Zhan's Plan

  As soon as Yun Zhan entered the door, he saw Tong Shi's red and swollen eyes. Originally, her eyebrows were already tightly knitted, but now they were even more deeply furrowed.

  Yu'er...

  Yun Zhan looked at Tong Shi with a guilty expression, not knowing how to comfort her! He asked himself, on the battlefield, he had the courage of "one man holding the pass, ten thousand men can't open it", but when faced with the conflict between his mother and wife, he was completely helpless.

  As soon as he returned home today, he saw the nanny next to his mother waiting for him at the gate, saying that the old lady was unwell. He anxiously ran to the Taihe Institute, but saw his mother lying weakly in bed, while his sister and brother-in-law and others kept blaming him for spoiling his wife and daughter, allowing them to bully his mother.

  He was well aware of the problems between his wife and mother, so he wouldn't believe their one-sided words. However, facing his gradually aging mother, he couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

  He really didn't understand why his mother and wife couldn't get along peacefully, and instead made the whole house noisy and chaotic.

  "Is everything all right with you, sir? Is the old lady all right? Don't blame Muzi, she didn't mean to!"

  Tong saw the look on her husband's face and knew he must have gone to see Old Lady, she knew what had happened in the morning, but she was worried that those people would distort the truth, and her husband would blame their daughter, so she opened her mouth to plead.

  "As the husband knows, he won't blame Muer."

  Yun Zhan glanced at Mo Mo and wrapped his arm around his wife's thin shoulders, comforting her.

  "Dad, maybe you don't agree with some of the things I've done, but I haven't done anything wrong. You know how grandma has treated mom all these years, and you can just watch it happen, but I couldn't!"

  Momo looked at her father with a stubborn face. If her father blamed her, there might not be any punishment, but she would be disappointed in him.

  "Mei, Dad won't blame you! In these years, your mother has suffered a lot of grievances. You can think for your mother's sake, and Dad is very happy. Your heart is not comfortable, Dad understands, but there is one thing you must remember, no matter what, she is your grandmother, you have to respect her! Can't be too excessive!"

  Yun Zhan was not a person who couldn't tell right from wrong, he just couldn't be disrespectful to his mother. He was even more afraid that if he overprotected his wife, it would make his mother angrier, and then when he wasn't around the mansion, she would do something to harm his wife!

  He doesn't have to worry now, his daughter is back, grown up and filial, knowing how to protect her mother, he's very pleased!

  Momo was still very satisfied with Lao Ye's answer, so she honestly nodded her head and agreed. As long as Madame wouldn't touch her bottom line in the future and wanted her to respect her, that was fine.

  As for others... she couldn't guarantee it, thinking of that annoying aunt and younger sister, Mo Mo's expression was inexplicable, a cold glint flashing in her eyes! If they dared to cause trouble again, she absolutely wouldn't show mercy!

  Yun Zhan found an excuse and took Mo Mo to the study. As for his daughter, Yun Zhan thought that although she sometimes didn't seem like a child at all, he didn't suspect anything and just thought she was more precocious than other children.

  So now whatever happens, he gradually gets used to discussing with his daughter.

  "Dad, how did Chao Ting handle yesterday's matter?"

  Looking at Old Man's furrowed brow, there seems to be some worry, and it appears that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

  "With the testimony of Wang Shu and the Imperial Guards, as well as the unique Turkic weapons carried by the assassins, the Emperor was enraged, saying that death would be too light a punishment, and issued an edict to exterminate the remaining rebels!"

  Mo Mo nodded slightly, and wasn't surprised at all by the emperor's reaction and handling of the situation.

  In fact, intelligent people all know what's going on, the Emperor can't be unaware! Looking ahead to the coming days, those princes won't have a good time.

  An emperor, as long as he is still in power, cannot tolerate anyone coveting his position, even if it's a close relative!

  "This time it's a narrow escape, isn't it? Dad, what are your plans for the future?" Momo asked with concern, putting aside her usual carefree attitude.

  This matter won't end like this, several princes can't just give up the opportunity to win over old dad. If old dad doesn't make a choice, next time it will probably be a real assassination!

  "Father will hand over the command of 100,000 troops in Gyeonggi within a few days!"

  Yun Zhan seemed to have made a very firm decision, and after saying this sentence, he let out a long sigh of relief.

  Mo Mo looked at her father with a face full of incredulity.

  She knew how much her father loved to lead and train troops, when chatting with him, he was always enthusiastic and vividly telling stories about his military life and training the army, every day no matter how busy, he would go to the barracks for inspection, almost linking his soul with the barracks.

  "As long as Father is in command of the Capital Garrison, they won't let go! Father has been fighting for over a decade and leading troops for over a decade, it's time to take a break!"

  Yun Zhan's loving smile stroked Mu Mu's head, but the deep desolation in his voice couldn't even deceive himself!

  Momo didn't say a word, quietly leaning on her old father's body, staring blankly out the window.

  Does she not know what's on the old man's mind? Once someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, it's likely that the most dangerous person is not the old man, but the other old and young people in the mansion. Although the old man has his own people, these people are of little use in front of those top-notch forces!

  Abandoning military power, on the one hand, can shift threats and avoid becoming a thorn in someone's eye. On the other hand, it is also to ease the emperor's mind. Yesterday's events, although the emperor did not say anything, must have been unpleasant for him nonetheless.

  "Alright, don't make a sour face, or you'll become an ugly girl!"

  Yun Zhan seemed to dislike this overly gloomy atmosphere and suddenly burst into a bright laughter, teasing his own daughter.

  "Dad, you're so bad! How can you say that about your naturally beautiful and lovely daughter?"

  Her eyebrows were raised high, her big black eyes staring, pretending to be angry and shouting loudly.

  "Haha, you shameless girl, who boasts about herself like this! If this gets out, people will laugh to death!"

  The cloud war was disturbed by his daughter, and his mood really improved a lot. The wrinkles on his forehead were no longer that deep.

  "Master, miss, His Highness King Yu has sent someone with an invitation for you!"

  The father and daughter were having a great time playing together when they heard a respectful voice coming from outside.

  Digression

  These past few days' harvest has been pretty dismal~

  What's going on?
