Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 24: Murderous Intent

  "Who?"

  Bei Chen's eyes, a pair of sharp phoenix pupils, shot towards the speaker.

  That man, a tall and large man in his twenties, was stared at by Beichen Ye, and he was so scared that he trembled all over, stuttering and saying "It... it's the one who came later... the maid of the second young lady!"

  "Someone, bring that maid up here!"

  Beichen Yao didn't care whose maid she was, and with a mere word, he had his guards take her away.

  After a while, the maid was brought up by two guards. This wasn't Yunyue's trusted servant Bi Lü, who else could it be? But Yunyue had also come along.

  "Your Highness, this maid is a servant of my daughter. I don't know why you summoned her here, has she done something wrong?"

  Yun Yue stepped forward, made a curtsy and asked, every move and gesture showed the elegance of a young lady, her soft and gentle voice was intoxicating.

  Bei Chen Ye's attention was all on the maid, where did she have the heart to observe her, and casually nodded, which was equivalent to acknowledging.

  "What were you doing in the stable? Did you let that wild horse out?"

  Bei Chen's straightforward question was like a cold wind that made one tremble involuntarily.

  Her face turned slightly green, her hands clenched tightly together, and she said in a somewhat flustered tone:

  "Your Highness, I was just...just curious and went to the stable to take a look, but even if you gave me ten million chances, I wouldn't dare let those horses out! Please, Your Highness, have mercy!"

  Bei Chen Ye didn't say a word, he just gave her a light glance, but that one glance made Bi Lu's heart sink like ice.

  "Your Majesty... Master, I... I really didn't... really..." Bi Lu was so scared that she "thudded" to her knees on the ground, looking at Yun Yue with pleading eyes.

  Yun Yue seemed to be unable to bear it, her eyes welled up with tears, pitifully gazing at Yu Wang. Using the phrase "restraining tears and feigning a lowered face, with a hint of shyness and half-lowered eyebrows" to describe her appearance at this moment was not an exaggeration.

  "Your Highness, could you be mistaken? Bi Lu's courage is so small, how could she do such a thing?"

  Beichen frowned, looking at her with disgust and said in a cold voice: "Yun Erniang, Momo is still unconscious. As her sister, shouldn't you go take care of her? If it's really none of your business, I won't do anything to her!"

  What he hated most was a woman crying in front of him, it was so annoying that it could kill. Weren't the women in the harem using tears to attract people?

  Yun Yue's face turned pale, her body stiffened slightly, and she suppressed the pain in her heart with a great effort. She smiled faintly and bowed to retreat. As she passed by Bi Lu, she bent down and said to Bi Lu:

  "Violet, if you really did it, then admit it. Fortunately, the prince and sister are unharmed. When sister wakes up, I will plead for you, and since sister is magnanimous, she will surely forgive you."

  After finishing speaking, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and left, looking back three times as if reluctant to part.

  Bì lǜ heard this and her face changed greatly, she just wanted to stand up and say something to Yún Yuè, but then she fell down again, her face a picture of deathly stillness.

  Beichen Yao gazed doubtfully at the distant Cloud Yue, then looked down at the expressionless Bi Lü and narrowed his phoenix eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.

  Yun Yuxin reluctantly went to Momo's resting quarters, originally thinking that by releasing the green horse from the stable, she could have killed that cheap woman, but unfortunately, it was a failure.

  That little wretch not only got saved by the king, but also got discovered along with Bi Lu. This time, she herself might get exposed too. If it wasn't for her being afraid that things would change, previously she used Bi Lu's relatives as a threat, probably this time, she won't be able to escape.

  Thinking of Bi Lu, Yun Yue's face flashed a hint of hesitation and struggle, but in the blink of an eye, this hesitation and struggle were replaced by her hatred for Yun Mian!

  Every day, Father's doting on that little wretch and ignoring himself made Yun Yue's resentment surge like a flood; now, even the man she admired was being overly affectionate towards her while ignoring herself, making her heart seethe with hatred to the point of wishing her dead.

  Yes, as long as she's dead, she'll have the chance to become the high and mighty legitimate daughter of the Grand General's Manor, and others will also set their sights on her.

  Kill her! Kill her! Unable to suppress this crazy thought, Yunyue's mind was already bewildered by the strong murderous intent. She quietly came to Momo's bedside and saw that Momo hadn't woken up, she couldn't help but get excited! Picking up the soft pillow beside her, she fiercely pounced on it...

  Just then, a loud shout came: "What are you doing?"

  Yun Yue was startled by the loud shout and came back to her senses. Seeing the pillow in her hand, she shook it off and hastily threw it on the ground.

  "I just saw that my sister was sleeping restlessly and wanted to give her an extra pillow." Yunyue quickly calmed down and said nonchalantly.

  Bei Chen looked at her with a profound gaze that was hard to decipher.

  "The king intends to return to the city now, if you have nothing else to do, then pack up and go back!"

  After finishing speaking, he no longer looked at her, but rather walked past her and sat down on the edge of the bed, gazing at Momo who was sleeping soundly.

  Yun Yue suppressed the sour feeling in her heart, not wanting to see the gentle affection in his eyes directed at someone else. She hastily ran out, no longer caring about appearances.

  When returning to the city, Beichen Ye put Mo Mo on the carriage prepared by Sun Dao and got in himself. This move made everyone present's eyeballs drop to the ground.

  Beichen Ye didn't care about other people's opinions, he just couldn't put his heart at ease with this girl and that crafty Yun Yue together.

  Yun Yue's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred as she watched her beloved gently embracing Mo Mo. The malice and cruelty in her heart could no longer be concealed, her face twisted into a terrifying grimace, causing the person standing beside her to jump back and hastily retreat to a safe distance.

  The people who went back were still those who came, but in the crowd, I couldn't see that green figure anymore...

  On the carriage, Beichen Ye carefully placed Mo Yan on the quilt and lifted up both sides of the curtain. Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, he couldn't help but feel worried, furrowing his brow and reaching out to take her pulse. Only after finding nothing unusual did he breathe a sigh of relief.

  When they arrived at the Yun's residence, it was already late afternoon. Yun Zhan saw that his beloved daughter had gone out in good spirits but returned in this state, and he cursed Beichen Yao to death in his heart. He personally carried Momo back to the Si Momo Pavilion, asked someone to call a doctor, and then stood guard beside Momo with Lady Tong, not even bothering to scold Beichen Yao.

  Bei Chen Ye didn't mind either, seeing that Da Fu said Mo Mo was fine, he felt at ease and left with his guards.

  He returned to the Yu Wang Fu and before he could rest, a guard rushed in to report: "Your Highness, the eldest young lady of the Yun Fu has suddenly come down with a high fever and it's extremely serious!"
