Chapter 238 Another man
"Ah."
Lian'er was still confused, but Yun Shuning sneered, "Sun Zhengze is a smart man. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Sun family took one more thing on top of the original compensation, and calling it a gift was just a reason that the Zhenguo Mansion couldn't refuse. In this way, if the Zhenguo Mansion embarrasses the Sun family again, it would make us look petty."
"This Sun Zhengze is really a piece of shit, and that Sun Lingyi is so arrogant and lawless. In my opinion, she will cause a big disaster sooner or later." Lian'er was so angry when she thought of what happened yesterday.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore," Yun Shuning stood up, put on his cloak and walked outside, "They have received the punishment they deserve. These five thousand taels of silver and the Buddha statue are not so easy to get."
Lian'er scratched her head as if she understood something, watched Yun Shuning leave, and then turned around to prepare the meal.
Yun Shuning walked along the corridor and came to the martial arts training ground.
The sword in Yun Yan's hand was flying, his body was like a startled wild goose, and every move he made was fierce and fierce, with an imposing manner. Before he got close, a faint sound of breaking through the air could be heard in the air.
Yun Shuning was so shocked that her mouth could not close, she stared in amazement.
Among her four brothers, the second brother Yun Yan was the most outstanding. He was top-notch in both martial arts and learning. He was a deputy general in the army, commanding the Black Cavalry, and his status was second only to his father.
When my father abdicates in the future, my second brother will be the only one to inherit his mantle and his future will be limitless.
She looked for a long time before Yun Yan noticed her. He put away his sword and walked towards her. He smiled and said with a steady breath, "Why are you here, Ning'er?"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen Second Brother's wonderful swordsmanship?" Yun Shuning blinked his eyes: "Second Brother, I also want to learn martial arts. Can you teach me? I will study hard."
She looked at Yun Yan seriously and expectantly, making some plans in her mind.
That day on the snowless mountain top, when she pestered Jiang Yu to learn a few moves, she promised him that she would never let any other man teach her martial arts except him.
Then, my brother shouldn’t be considered “another man”, right?
Now that there is such a good opportunity to learn martial arts in front of her, she is really itching to learn it. If she can learn a few more moves from him, she can protect the people she wants to protect when needed.
Thinking of this, she no longer felt guilty about breaking the contract.
Since his sister wanted to learn, Yun Yan readily agreed: "Of course, come, second brother will teach you."
Yun Shuning nodded rapidly, and with bright eyes, she began to perform the moves as Yun Yan said. When the brother and sister were in the middle of teaching and learning, a sour voice came from not far away.
"Ning'er, Fourth Brother's martial arts are also among the best. When you have time, Fourth Brother will teach you."
Yun Li walked over holding a jade jar, his face full of jealousy.
Just as Yun Shuning was about to stop what he was doing and reply, Yun Yan knocked him on the arm: "Don't be distracted when practicing martial arts. Your fourth brother lied to you. His martial arts are only good enough for minor functions. He practiced martial arts because he always angered Dad and had to run away to avoid being beaten."
"Second brother, you have no moral integrity. How can you say this in front of Ning'er?"
Yun Li's true identity was suddenly exposed. He was so ashamed and angry that he stepped forward to fight with Yun Yan, but was frightened by his eyes and stopped.
He rubbed his nose, coughed lightly as if nothing had happened, put down the cup in his hand and sat down.
He looked at Yun Yan's movements, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said, "I remember this move. When we were young, my third brother was defeated by you, my second brother, because of this move."
As soon as he uttered this sentence, the air around him immediately became quiet and eerie.
Yun Shuning saw Yun Yan's face turn stiff, and Yun Li realized belatedly that she had said the wrong thing. She looked embarrassed. She put down her sword and finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "What kind of person is Third Brother? Does he have a bad temper?"
She wanted to know why everyone seemed to be hesitant to speak whenever they mentioned their third brother Yun Qi.
Yun Yan and Yun Li were silent for a while. Finally, Yun Li sighed and said seriously, "To be precise, even we don't know what kind of person he is. I remember that he was about nine years old."
He glanced at Yun Yan, and when he saw Yun Yan nod, he continued, "When he was nine years old, his legs were destroyed by his enemies who came to seek revenge on his father. Since then, his temperament has become extremely sensitive and unpredictable, and he can't stand anyone mentioning his leg disease.
When he was eleven, he left a note and went to do business in other places. Over the years, he rarely exchanged letters with his family. Maybe he was resentful of us. Although my parents didn't say it, we could see that they were very sad, which was why we always avoided talking to him.
Dad sent him a message early in the morning about your return, but he never received a reply, and he doesn’t know…”
Yun Li was silent. Yun Yan patted his shoulder, then finally stopped and pressed hard with his big hand.
It turned out to be the case.
Yun Shuning was silent.
Seeing that he had made the situation awkward, Yun Li regained his playful look and stood up and said, "Okay, you two can practice martial arts here. I still have to put the fish someone bought into the pond."
He glared at Yun Yan with gritted teeth, but walked quickly and honestly: "I am also very busy, this is the last time, really the last time..."
Yun Yan and Yun Shuning couldn't help but be amused by him, and the stagnant air began to flow again.
Around noon, Yun Shuning finally learned the few moves that Yun Yan taught him.
Seeing the thin layer of sweat on her face, Yun Yan clapped his hands and said, "Let's stop here today. We can't become fat in one go. Learning martial arts can't be rushed. If we attack too hastily, our body won't be able to bear it and we might get hurt."
Yun Shuning's bright eyes curved, and she smiled obediently, "I understand, second brother."
"Second Young Master!" A call suddenly came from the front.
A servant hurried over and found Yun Shuning behind him. He nodded slightly to her respectfully, then looked at Yun Yan and said, "Someone from the palace has come and asked you to come in. The carriage is ready."
"Got it. Ning'er, go back and have a rest. Second brother will go to the palace."
Fearing that Yun Shuning would catch a cold from sweating, Yun Yan put the cloak prepared by the servant on her and tied it up before leaving the house with the servant and getting on the carriage.
The afternoon sunlight passed through the tall partitions and shone into the imperial study of the Dayan Palace.
The study was brightly lit, with the floor covered with gold-inlaid twelve-button bricks shining like jade, reflecting a tall figure striding towards him in the bright sunshine.
Yun Yan stepped into the imperial study and was about to kneel down to pay his respects when he saw several important officials already in the study, the first of whom were Grand Tutor Di and Duke Zhou.
