"Yes."
Her voice was gentle and beautiful, with no trace of concealment.
Sometimes, people not only need to hide secrets, but also need to reveal them "appropriately".
What's more, they will find out about this sooner or later.
"Good, good, good, you are worthy of being the daughter of my Yun family!"
Yun Zhong's voice was mellow and full of alcohol, and his eyes were filled with admiration: "This glass of wine is for you, Dad!"
Yun Shuning quickly stood up, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
She was not good at drinking, and after drinking a glass of wine, her face immediately turned a little red.
Song Rao was heartbroken. She glared at Yun Zhong and said angrily, "If you want to drink, go drink with your sons. Don't give Ning Er any more wine. Do you hear me?!"
After saying this, she glanced threateningly at Yun Zhong, Yun Sheng and the others.
Yun Zhong shrank his neck, still a little unconvinced, and muttered quietly: "Am I not happy too?"
"Hmm?" Song Rao pretended to pick up the chopsticks.
Yun Zhong immediately waved his hands: "Madam, calm down, calm down, I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again."
Yun Shuning watched the scene in front of him and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
It turns out that happiness feels like this.
Like the warm sun in winter and the cold ice in summer, it can fill in the missing corner of life anytime and anywhere, a perfect moment when the clouds and fog disappear.
It was at this happy moment that Yun Li suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, you all should thank me. If I hadn't knocked Ning'er unconscious and carried her back to the inn, how could we have discovered the clues so quickly? I am the biggest contributor. Should I say it or not, Dad, you should also give me a toast."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the faces sitting around the table turn their heads to look at him.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Yun Li felt as if he had been hit on the head. He grimaced in pain and said, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Yun Zhong stared at him, his face dark with anger: "How dare you bring this up? If I find out about it again, you won't be allowed to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
Yun Li pouted aggrievedly: "Dad, I'm just happy to see Ning'er back, so I mentioned it casually. Besides, I already know the importance of reputation to a woman, and I will definitely keep it in mind in the future."
"Hmph!" Yun Zhong snorted coldly and stopped looking at him.
His son is good in every way except that he has stayed at the border for too long. He is used to the freedom and has a very impulsive personality, so he is a troublemaker.
Seeing this, Yun Sheng quickly came out to smooth things over. He pushed Yun Li's back and said with a smile, "Didn't you prepare a gift for Ning'er? Why don't you take it out quickly? Why are you hiding it?"
"Yes, yes," Yun Li laughed, carefully glanced at Yun Zhong's face, took out an exquisite rectangular brocade box from his arms, and placed it in front of Yun Shuning: "Ning'er, open it and take a look."
Yun Shuning smiled at him, did not refuse, and gently pressed the button of the box.
A flash of cold light burst out immediately.
Yun Shuning narrowed her eyes and saw a dagger lying quietly in the brocade box. The blade was as sharp as a pool of autumn water, and the handle was carved with intricate totems of flowers and leaves. The pistil of each flower was inlaid with a ruby, which was pure and warm red, like the blood of a person's heart.
She took the dagger out of the box. It was just the right size and fit perfectly in her hand.
Yun Li raised his head proudly: "This dagger is made of black iron, it can cut gold and jade, it is very sharp, and it also has a hidden secret. Whether it is used as a weapon or for self-defense, it is very suitable. Ning'er can study it slowly."
"Thank you, fourth brother." Yun Shuning's eyes were fixed on the dagger, not wanting to move away even an inch, and his satisfaction was beyond words.
Seeing this, Yun Zhong's expression eased a little, and Yun Li dared to sit back in his original seat.
The consequences of talking nonsense are terrible.
After Yun Li, Yun Sheng and Yun Yan also presented their gifts. Yun Sheng presented a necklace woven with South China Sea pearls, while Yun Yan presented a jade seal carved by himself with Yun Shuning's name on it.
The gifts were given and the meal came to an end.
Yun Zhong knocked on the table and said, "Now that Ning'er is back, we must let everyone in the world know that she is me, Yun Zhong, the daughter of my Zhenguo Mansion, and not the daughter of that bastard Lin Cheng. Yun Sheng, Yun Yan and I have a holiday the day after tomorrow, so we will hold this family recognition banquet the day after tomorrow. The sooner we announce Ning'er's identity to the world, the better. What do you think?"
"Okay! Dad, I think this idea is unprecedented and unparalleled," Yun Li immediately agreed with a smile, "But I don't know what Ning'er thinks?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Yun Shuning.
Yun Shuning smiled and said, "My daughter thinks what Dad said makes sense, so I'll make the arrangements as Dad says."
Seeing her agree, Yun Zhong laughed heartily: "In that case, Yun Li, you go spread the news and send out invitations. Of course, you don't have to go to the Shangshu Mansion."
"Yes, Dad."
The important matter that had been lingering in her mind was settled. Song Rao was delighted. She stood up and took Yun Shuning back to the room to rest: "Leave the matters of the family recognition banquet to their men. Mother has a lot to say to you. Let's go back to the room and talk."
Yun Shuning naturally went with Song Rao happily. The mother and daughter cuddled in bed and laughed so hard that the whole room was filled with the sound of silver bells. Even as the night deepened and the moon reached its zenith, Song Rao and Yun Shuning still had not finished their private conversation.
Yun Zhong wanted to push the door with his hands but didn't dare to. He pushed and pulled back and forth several times. He finally gritted his teeth and pushed the door open. Before he could finish his words, "Rao'er, Ning'er, I...", a pillow was thrown on his face.
As a man who cares a lot about his reputation, he naturally couldn't let anyone know that he was kicked out by his beloved wife, so he pretended nothing had happened and planned to hide in the study. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into Yun Li who was still awake late at night.
The father and son stared at each other for only a second before Yun Li burst into laughter. His ridicule was too obvious, and the consequence was, naturally, another beating.
So that night, some people's lightness skills improved to a higher level, some people happily slept alone all night, and the moonlight permeated the inky night. After two rounds of this, it was the day for the family reunion banquet.
Even God seemed to be happy about this, for today the sky was azure blue, with golden sunlight shining unhindered, making the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which was hung with red brocade, look proud and majestic. It looked magnificent from afar, and the firecrackers that were lit at the door had been crackling all morning, melting the snow on the ground.
Since daybreak, officials and dignitaries who came to congratulate had almost trampled down the threshold of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, not to mention the gifts.
Lin Yujiang also came with Sun Lingyi.
She gritted her teeth secretly.
She didn't want to come at first. Right now, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion are incompatible. As the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, wouldn't she be criticized, reviled, and cursed if she came here?
Where is the slightest bit of dignity left?
