Chapter 78: Chapter 78 - 44: Almost Brought to Tears by My Past Self’s Foolishness

[Is it someone reincarnated, or is there another book traveler?]

[Oh dear, hopefully they aren’t coming for our family.]

[Although for now, it seems they’re targeting the female lead, so they’re an ally, but who knows if they won’t turn their attention to our family in the future.]

[One female lead and one male lead are already enough for us to handle, and if another book traveler or reincarnator targets us, there will be no escape at all.]

[...]

Listening to her worried heart voice, Lady Yun could hardly resist telling her the truth, yet in the end, she managed to hold back.

Anyone who finds out their heart voice could be heard by many would feel like they have no secrets left, becoming very anxious, very shameful and fearful. Xiao Si is still young, what if she can’t handle it and becomes introverted from then on, what should they do?

Afternoon.

Lady Yun was checking the accounts in the room, while Yun Wanqing lay on the beauty couch by the window, and a young maid was shaking a very delicate string of small bells to play with her.

"Fourth Miss, doesn’t this sound nice?"

"This is called a bell, if you shake it lightly, it will produce a wonderful sound. Do you know why a bell makes sound, Fourth Miss? It’s because~"

[...]

Yun Wanqing wanted to roll her eyes, but out of courtesy and upbringing, she restrained herself.

[The sound of gold clashing, how could it not sound nice?]

[Sister Xiao Tao, although you don’t know I have memories from my past life and only see me as an ordinary little baby, when you do this, it makes me feel like an idiot.]

[Also, this bell’s sound is nice to listen to for a while, but after a long time, it gets a bit headache-inducing. Sister Xiao Tao, take a break, I see you’ve been shaking it for quite a while, your wrist must be tired~]

Lady Yun: "..."

Xiao Si’s heart voice is really amusing every day.

The pen stopped in Lady Yun’s hand as she looked up, smiling lightly towards the window, just about to tell Xiao Tao to take a break when suddenly the sound of wooden wheels rolling came from outside the door.

The sound came closer and closer.

Through the open door, they saw Cang Yan pushing Yun Wanchen in.

In the bright light, the man in the wheelchair had features as beautiful as a painting, a face like jade, and wore a white outfit as pure as snow, untainted by a speck of dust.

A gentleman’s grace, bright like the moon, was probably like this.

[Oh, big brother has come.]

[Big brother, hug me.]

Yun Wanqing’s extremely joyful heart voice echoed as she kept waving her short little arms towards Yun Wanchen, regardless of whether he could see it or not.

As soon as he entered the door, a voice wanting him to hug came to Yun Wanchen’s mind, causing a slight curve on his lips, but he pretended not to see her.

"Mother, where is little sister?"

Honestly, the whole family acts better than one another, Lady Yun sighed; not knowing whether to feel comforted or troubled, she walked over and handed Yun Wanqing to him.

[Big brother, you’ve finally come to see me and mom. Do you know I’ve been waiting for you all day?]

Yun Wanqing looked at Yun Wanchen with tearful eyes, preparing to stealthily check his pulse, but then suddenly realized something.

[Wait, as a sister, isn’t it perfectly reasonable for me to check big brother’s wrist? Why should I do it secretly when I can do it openly?]

[Even if big brother is very smart, surely he wouldn’t think a baby who is just a month old could take his pulse, right? So why should I do it sneakily?]

[Openly or not, big brother wouldn’t suspect anything.]

[Wow, I could cry at how silly I was before~]

Thinking about this, Yun Wanqing openly placed her little hand on Yun Wanchen’s wrist.

Listening to her heart voice, Lady Yun and Yun Wanchen couldn’t help but laugh, with Lady Yun lifting the corners of her lips, chuckling softly.

Silly Xiao Si, indeed your big brother wouldn’t think a month-old baby would check a pulse, and wouldn’t suspect anything, but the thing is, he doesn’t need to think or suspect.

You’ve already spilled all your thoughts like spilling beans, he doesn’t need to go to the trouble at all.

Whether you’re open or secretive, your big brother already knows everything.

[It wasn’t an illusion last time, brother’s pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither too big nor too small, calm and gentle, soft yet strong, with a consistent rhythm. The body’s organs-functioning well, yin and yang balanced, qi and blood abundant, spirit peaceful, all signs of health.]

[This pulse is even better than last time.]

[Really unbelievable, how could big brother’s condition have improved so much shortly after returning? It’s like he took some miracle drug.]

[According to big brother’s current pulse, he can completely stand up for minor activities, roughly a stick of incense time each day, and if some pressing or massaging can be added, even better. Within a month, he could move freely.]

[Ah ah ah, big brother, be honest, have you awakened a healing superpower? Or, did you sneak a ginsengfruit?]

Yun Wanqing stared with big, watery eyes at the incredibly handsome man in front of her, shouting incredulously in her heart.

Hearing those heart voices, Lady Yun was slightly stunned, and then looked at Yun Wanchen with excitement.

Chen’er has recovered so well already?

In another month, he could move freely?

That’s great, really great~

Overwhelmed with excitement, Lady Yun couldn’t help but cover her mouth and sob quietly. Fortunately, Yun Wanqing was not paying attention to her and didn’t notice her unusual behavior.

[Wait, how could there be traces of the Carefree Nine Scriptures running through my brother’s body? Does this world also have the Carefree Nine Scriptures?]

Yun Wanqing was completely stunned, disbelievingly starting to feel the pulse again, and Yun Wanchen felt a chill in his heart, almost unable to keep his expression steady.

He never expected that his little sister could even detect the inner strength he had practiced.

Is my little sister really that amazing?

[No wonder my brother recovered so quickly; it turns out the Carefree Nine Scriptures repaired the damaged meridians and cleared the blockages in his body. But where did this Carefree Nine Scriptures come from? Isn’t it the exclusive secret technique of our Medicine King Lineage?]

[Could it be that the damn author stole our Medicine King Sect’s secret technique?]

[Ah ah ah, why do things keep getting more fantastical?]

[No no no, I misunderstood, why am I getting mad at all? Isn’t it good that my brother is practicing the Carefree Nine Scriptures? This way, he can stand up, and his martial arts will advance further. This is good news for the Yun Family.]

[The pity is that my brother only practiced the first level. Once I can speak, I’ll teach him the rest.]

[Mmm mmm mmm, I almost forgot, there’s also dad, Seventh Uncle, and Second Brother, they should practice it too. Once they all reach the ninth level, the Yun Family’s chances of survival will greatly increase, and I can have fewer weaknesses.]

[...]

Hearing this, Yun Wanchen’s tightly held heart finally relaxed.

Fortunately, his little sister didn’t mind them practicing her cultivation technique and even promised to teach him the remaining parts once she could speak. Otherwise, although he would have completed it, he would feel ashamed inside.

Of course, even if he felt ashamed, he would never stop practicing.

With such a cultivation technique, it is understandable if one doesn’t know about it. But knowing it, how could he not practice it?

"Princely Heir, Mr. Gu seeks an audience with you, and he is waiting in the front courtyard now."

At this moment, a young servant came to report.

A trace of a smile quickly flashed in Yun Wanchen’s eyes.

"Hmm, understood, you entertain Mr. Gu well, I will go right away."

"Yes."

After dismissing the young servant, Yun Wanchen prepared to bid farewell to Yun Wanqing.

[Mr. Gu, why does this sound so familiar?]

[Wait, I remember now, isn’t this my brother’s close friend, Gu Heng?]

[Gu Heng is the young master of the Imperial Merchant Gu Family, and also one of the important male supporting characters in this story, one of the female lead’s admirers.]

[In the early stages, he regarded my brother as a bosom friend. When he found out that my brother’s reputation was ruined by the female lead’s framing and was forced to accept a broken engagement, he was furious, patting his chest and vowing to avenge my brother.]

[But in the end, he was captivated during the winter banquet by the female lead, who stole the limelight and crushed the first talented woman of the Da Wu Country beneath her, and was impressed by the female lead’s talent.]

[He began praising the female lead in front of my brother, telling him to be broad-minded and not to argue with women.]

[It’s really easy to say such things without experiencing it personally; it’s not his reputation that was ruined, so he can shamelessly advise others to be magnanimous.]

[Later, when my brother saw how deeply he was infatuated with the female lead, he gradually distanced himself.]

[Unexpectedly, this shameless person used my brother’s slight trust to backstab him, causing my brother to be ruined and disgraced.]

[Today he’s here not just to visit my brother but also to ask him to do him a favor.]

[He has a cousin who passed the imperial examination but hasn’t found a position yet, with only an empty name of having the same status as other successful candidates.]

[The Gu Family, knowing his good relationship with my brother, repeatedly urged him to find my brother to pull some strings to help secure a good position.]

[My brother foolishly agreed, finding Seventh Uncle to secure an official position of "Gentleman Attendant" for that cousin.]

[Unexpectedly, the man thought the position was too low with too many duties, resenting my brother for quite a while, thinking that my brother had the ability to get him a better position but deliberately chose not to exert himself.]

[Later, when Duke Ning fell from power, my brother lost his position and became crippled, that ungrateful cousin found him but didn’t spare words to humiliate my brother.]

[My brother going deaf and blind, ending up fighting for food with stray dogs, is closely related to that person.]

[Oh brother, I hope you learn a lesson this time, don’t foolishly think that a friend asking for help means you should willingly oblige.]

[You may help him now, but in the future, he might betray you twice over.]

[Some help can be given, some help shouldn’t be offered, it’s really thankless at times~]

Yun Wanqing tugged at her brother’s sleeve, desperately wanting to blurt out these words, but except for blowing bubbles, she couldn’t utter a single word.

She was almost frantic with worry.

Gu Heng is actually one of the male supporting characters, and will in the future turn against Chen’er.

Lady Yun clenched her fist tightly, looking at Yun Wanchen with heartache. She knew how much Yun Wanchen valued that friend, so hearing those words, Chen’er must be really hurt.

But she couldn’t help him; he was already grown up, and some things he needed to face and decide for himself.

"Little sister, I have some matters to attend to and will come to see you tomorrow. You have to be good!"
