Chapter 230 Surprise
Chapter 230 Surprise
"Silly child," Song Rao patted Yun Shuning's hand, "Can't you see that Madam Sun is not an easy person to deal with? She wants to rely on you to quarrel with Sun Lingyi to get out of the dilemma of being forced to buy things. In this case, I will go with the flow and let her know that not everyone can take advantage of her."
A cold light flashed in Song Rao's eyes.
He dared to perform such a childish trick in front of her, which showed that he did not take her seriously at all.
Yun Shuning had indeed seen that Lin Yujiang was not an easy person to deal with, but she did not expect her mother to do this. It was not that she was not smart and did not think of this trick, but she was not used to relying on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as her support and backing.
She pursed her lips, smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you very much, mother, for your teachings. I will remember it."
She should keep in mind that now she has parents to rely on and brothers to depend on, and she is no longer alone as before.
Song Rao's heart and eyes were filled with Yun Shuning, and now she thought the best of her.
What made her deeply regretful was that as a mother, she had missed the most important period of her daughter's growth. Whenever she thought of it, she felt a piercing pain.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in her heart, and waved her hand: "Take a look at these jewels, do you like any of them?"
Yun Shuning took a quick glance and shook his head.
It’s not that she has no interest in these material things, but the Zhenguo family has been so good to her, making her feel the feeling of family that she has never felt since her grandfather passed away. She doesn’t want Song Rao to spend so much money.
"Mother, the emperor has given me enough gold hairpins and jade bracelets. I can't wear them all. Let's forget about these."
Song Rao smiled and said, "Okay, boss, pack them all for me."
Yun Shuning: “…”
Finally, Song Rao took her to visit almost the entire Jinxiu Hall. With the experience from previous times, Yun Shuning no longer dared to say that she didn't want anything, but instead carefully selected a few pieces.
By the time people had loaded the carefully wrapped jewelry, rouge and spices onto the carriage, it was almost full.
Yun Shuning was just about to find an excuse to return a few items, but the owner of Jinxiu Hall sent a carriage to take the two of them back home, abruptly stopping her from doing so.
When they arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Yun Shuning saw Yun Sheng as soon as he got off the carriage. It seemed that he had just returned from official business and had not had time to change out of his official uniform.
"Brother." Yun Shuning called sweetly.
Yun Sheng, who was walking towards the mansion, stopped and looked back. He immediately smiled brightly. This smile came from the bottom of his heart, and the smile went straight to his eyes: "Mother, Ning'er, what are you doing?"
Song Rao instructed the servants to deliver all the items in the carriage to Yun Shuning's yard, and said, "Mother took your sister to buy some clothes, jewelry, rouge and spices, and some daily necessities for her. Of course, there are also some for Xier."
Song Rao took the gift bag from the servant and handed it to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng took it and said with a smile: "Son thanks mother on behalf of Xier."
Yun Shuning couldn't help but secretly admire Song Rao's attentiveness. After she made her selection, Song Rao picked a few more items. She thought they were bought for herself, but unexpectedly, they were prepared for her sister-in-law.
The three of them walked in side by side and happened to see Yun Zhong, Yun Yan and Yun Li walking out. They were all very surprised to see each other, especially Yun Yan and Yun Li, who immediately surrounded Yun Shuning and squeezed each other to ask about her well-being.
Song Rao looked at her children being so close to each other, smiled at Yun Zhong, took Yun Zhong's hand and leaned on his shoulder, a mist gradually forming in her eyes.
"It's a rare occasion that everyone is back today, let's ask the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes and have a meal together," Yun Zhong said in a deep voice, "As for Yun Qi..."
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.
Yun Shuning keenly noticed that the originally warm and harmonious atmosphere had become cold because of the third brother whose name she had only heard of. Everyone looked at her, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a while, Yun Zhong said, "I sent someone to give him a letter a few days ago. I'll give him the letter when he comes back."
Song Rao's expression gloomy, but then she thought, she had been waiting for Ning'er to return to her for more than ten years. Such a difficult wait has come true, so what is there that she can't wait for now? Thinking of this, Song Rao calmed herself down and smiled again.
About a quarter of an hour later, the family sat down around the round table, which was filled with delicious food and smelled delicious.
Yun Shuning only took a quick glance and realized that these delicacies were all her favorites: "This..."
Wei Xi smiled knowingly: "These are all what mother asked Lian'er for. They are all your favorites. You should eat more and don't let mother down."
Yun Shuning looked at Song Rao with emotion. Before she could say anything, Song Rao waved her hand and said, "It's just a small matter. Besides, guess what mother found out. Your brothers also like the food you like, so you don't need to take it to heart."
Yun Shuning nodded slightly with a smile on her lips. This bond of blood was truly indescribable.
"Let's start eating." Yun Zhong spoke and took the first sip of the wine in the glass.
At this moment, the moon is shining brightly, and under the blue sky, thousands of lights are shining. The wind blows on the lake, causing ripples. The winter flowers blooming in clusters are emitting a faint fragrance, but it is not as fragrant as the aroma of the wine and food and the fragrance of Yun Shuning's smile.
She looked at him with a smile, her eyes gradually becoming hazy. The reflections of the flowing water were like flying flowers at night. The delicate eyebrows, smiling voice, and soft whispers all turned into swirling smiles, embedded in the corners of her dimpled lips.
Such a quiet and leisurely moment.
Finally, Yun Shuning collapsed on the chair with her stomach in her arms, unable to move. Song Rao handed her a cup of tea with a smile. Yun Shuning held the tea, smiled sweetly at her, and leaned on her shoulder.
At this time, Yun Shuning heard someone start talking, but they were talking about a clinic called Liufangtang that had risen rapidly in the capital in recent months.
Seeing them praising the clinic to the sky, Yun Shuning felt a little embarrassed and said in a shocking tone, "Dad, Mom, brother, I actually opened that clinic."
There was silence at the dinner table for a moment.
Yun Sheng was the first to react. Because of Wei Xi, he had long been aware of Yun Shuning's abilities, but the fact that she was the one who opened the prestigious Liufangtang still surprised him.
"No wonder the waiter gave me a lot of discounts every time I went to buy medicine these days, and even the herbs he bought were all the best. It turned out that it was Ning'er who prescribed it. Big brother is really benefiting from you."
There was also a flash of surprise in Yun Yan's eyes.
He had long guessed that his sister was definitely not a simple person, and maybe she was hiding more secrets. His eyes flashed, but he just suppressed the questions he wanted to ask, smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
Yun Li was the one who reacted the most, and he almost jumped up from his chair: "Then, those miracle drugs that made the clinic famous, were they also developed by you?!"
Yun Shuning blinked, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her lips like a bright flower.
