It was quiet inside the Yun Family Library. Looking from above, one could see a man and a woman sitting on the first floor, clearly separated, each sitting on one side.
The man lowered his head and carefully copied the contents of the Bible. The girl opposite him lowered his head and carefully read the book in his hand.
There was a thick pile of books at her feet, and each one had been carefully examined.
Mo Yun, who was guarding the door, peeked through the glass door from time to time, and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the harmonious scene between the two.
The second young lady is now gradually beginning to integrate into the Yun family. Mr. Chi Si is the best among the children who grew up in the Yun family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the old man's direct disciple. She was very happy to see the two of them getting closer.
Mo Yun just turned around with a smile and saw the man standing at the door.
She straightened her clothes and hurried forward, "Mr. Second."
Yun Jingyu usually doesn't come to the library at night, let alone this late. His life is extremely regular, and this is the time when he should rest.
Logically speaking, this time point would not appear in other places.
"Is Mu Qian inside?" Yun Jingyu asked.
Mo Yun instantly understood that he was here to find Mu Qian.
"Second Miss and Mr. Chi are inside." Mo Yun said.
Yun Jingyu glanced at it, walked in, and saw the two people sitting inside through the glass door.
He raised his hand to open the glass door and walked in. The action of opening and closing the door naturally attracted the two people sitting inside.
Mu Qian looked at the person who walked in, closed the book and stood up, "Father."
Yun Jingyu glanced at Chi Si who was copying carefully, "I have something to tell Mu Qian, Mr. Yun doesn't need to worry about it."
In the middle of the night, her father, who didn't care much about her, came over here, and it wasn't like he was asking for help.
Chi Si did not move when he saw this. He only glanced at it and then lowered his head and continued copying.
Yun Jingyu took Mu Qian aside. There were five bookshelves and two screens separating this place from where she just sat, turning this place into another space.
"Sit down." Yun Jingyu sat down opposite her.
Mu Qian sat down obediently. There were teacups and teapots on the table between the two of them. If there was someone in the library, a servant would come in and change the tea and tea leaves regularly. She poured a cup of tea for Yun Jingyu and handed it to her very politely.
.
"You and Chi Si seem to get along quite well." Yun Jingyu suddenly said.
Mu Qian thought for a moment and said very seriously, "He and I are dating."
Yun Jingyu stopped drinking tea, looking a little in disbelief, "When did it happen?"
"Just these two days."
After all, Yun Jingyu is her father, so it seems that she should tell him this matter very formally.
After hearing this, Yun Jingyu tapped his fingertips on the wall of the cup, "What do you think about your elder brother's affairs?"
The topic suddenly turned to Yun Zaichun. Mu Qian thought for a moment and said, "I had a conversation with grandpa and he told me to leave this matter alone."
In short, even if she took care of it, she still couldn't let her family know.
Yun Jingyu suddenly laughed out loud after hearing this, "It's already now, you don't have to lie to me. I just want to ask you, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Thinking of the news he heard today, Yun Jingyu simply didn't hide it and asked straight to the point the doubts in his heart.
"I got the news from Shuling Department. People at Shuling Department suspected that Zai Chun and Hong Zhi were colluding, so they detained him and offered to ensure that he returned safe and sound as long as he was willing to confess Hong Zhi.
Conditions, but he refused." Yun Jingyu said.
Having reached this point, Mu Qian understood more or less what he meant.
Yun Jingyu would not have said such a thing if he had not already had definite suspicions.
"What do you want to say?" Mu Qian said while maintaining a smile.
Yun Jingyu put down the cup in his hand, his eyes were as bright and clear as if he could see everything, "You must be Hong Zhi."
When he asked this question, the two of them looked at each other, Yun Jingyu's eyes were full of inquiry.
Mu Qian lowered his head and smiled, "For no reason, who told you such a thing?"
"You don't need to ask me how I know, but I know one thing, you are Hong Zhi, otherwise Zai Chun wouldn't be trapped in Shuling to save you."
With just one sentence, it seemed that all of Yun Zaichun's experiences were blamed on Mu Qian.
Although she didn't want to, she still defended herself, "Do you think the reason why eldest brother was arrested was because of me?"
There was no trace of embarrassment on Yun Jingyu's face, but a hint of agreement, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Although you are not entirely responsible, you are also partly responsible."
Mu Qian came to his senses and asked with a chuckle, "Then what do you think I should do? Go to the Shuling Place? Are you so sure that as long as I go to the Shuling Place, my eldest brother will be released safely?"
Her words made Yun Jingyu also fall into deep thought. After running around these days, many people have told him that as long as he can hand over Hong Zhi and prove Yun Zaichun's innocence, he will naturally come back.
And that person also told him very clearly that as long as the Yun family could hand over Hong Zhi, Yun Zaichun would definitely come back safe and sound.
And the internationally famous Hong Zhi is his daughter, the second young lady that the Yun family just found.
He was still skeptical before coming to see Mu Qian, but combined with everything that happened during this period and his understanding of Mu Qian, he was sure of Mu Qian's identity.
"Then what do you want to do now? Hand me over and let the eldest brother come back safely?" Mu Qian looked at him and asked, "You need to know one thing. The eldest brother was arrested not because of me."
Regardless of her presence or not, Yun Zaichun would have suffered this calamity.
The person opposite was stunned by this question, and Yun Jingyu couldn't help but lower his head. He came here just to know what kind of connection Mu Qian had with this matter.
As for pushing people out?
He was stunned, when did he have such an idea.
"I can understand you. Compared to me, you still prefer the children you watched grow up." Mu Qian smiled calmly.
She could see clearly that to Yun Jingyu, she was just a child with his blood, born to a woman he didn't like.
Her existence was not in Yun Jingyu's plan, not to mention that she got lost later. Compared with Yun Zaichun, there was even less of a constant companionship between her and Yun Jingyu.
It doesn't matter if he has blood, people are selfish, and she can understand Yun Jingyu's thoughts.
"That's not what I meant." Yun Jingyu said in a somewhat stiff tone.
"Then what do you mean?" Mu Qian asked.
Yun Jingyu looked at the daughter in front of him and sighed after a long time, "There is really no solution to both problems now. Neither your eldest brother nor you can give up. I just want to know what kind of person my daughter is."
.”
In the end, the fact didn't make him happy at all. For Mu Qian, Yun Jingyu didn't know what her abilities meant.
But for the Yun family, it's not all good things.
"Your eldest brother has been imprisoned because he was unwilling to reveal your identity. Maybe you can really help him get out of trouble." Yun Jingyu stared at her and said.
Mu Qian waited for his next words, but they wouldn't be useful.
"Send the things you got to Shuling. As long as you get the Demon Purification Tower, they will have no reason to detain anyone anymore."
Mu Qian suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his head, his temples really hurt.
"What if I tell you that I don't have what they want?"
She has been carrying this blame for how many days. The people at Shuling Department must know it best. Shuling Department has been guarding Mingyang Mausoleum for such a long time.
It was because the clearing mirror caused a huge spiritual energy shock when it came out of the mausoleum that everyone thought the thing was in her hand.
But Fu Yunliu had been staring at that thing for so many years, and he would not be fooled by the illusion. He himself entered Mingyang Tomb and used the formation.
Therefore, he knew clearly whether the Demon Purification Tower was in the mausoleum or not.
So until now Mu Qian still doesn't quite understand why Fu Yunliu had to let Yunhan trade her for Yun Zaichun.
It can't be that because he was defeated twice by her hands, he wanted to crush her to ashes to repay the humiliation he suffered.
"The Pure Demon Tower is not in your hands." Yun Jingyu was surprised, "How could it be?"
Mu Qian nodded very seriously, "I won't lie to you, the thing is indeed not in my hands."
Therefore, it is simply impossible for her to exchange the Pure Demon Tower for Yun Zaichun.
Yun Jingyu lowered his head and thought. If the thing was not in Mu Qian's hand, he was not completely sure that he could get Yun Zaichun out of the spiritual place.
"What are your next plans?" Mu Qian looked at Yun Jingyu.
She just wanted to know if Yun Jingyu really wanted to use her to exchange for Yun Zaichun's return after deciding that the thing was not in her hands.
Yun Jingyu suddenly stood up, patted her shoulder gently with his palm, and prepared to leave.
"Father, I want to ask you something." Mu Qian suddenly called out to the man who was about to leave.
Yun Jingyu stopped and looked back at her daughter.
"What did you think after you were convinced that I was Hong Zhi?"
If the Pure Demon Tower was really in her hands, would Yun Jingyu look at her differently now?
After all, he was almost convinced that the thing was in her hands, and in his heart, he was almost convinced that she had ignored the safety of her family for her own gain.
Yun Jingyu turned around and looked at her with complicated emotions in her eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
"I already know who is more important between me and the eldest brother. If the Demon Purity Tower was not in my hands, you would have considered trading me for the eldest brother, right?"
When she asked this question, she did not show any reluctance or hysteria. Instead, she had an expression of enlightenment.
Yun Jingyu only glanced at her, and finally relented, "I may have had that thought, but it was only for a moment and I couldn't do it countless times."
He knew how absurd his thoughts were, but that moment really passed by.
This child has been lost from the Yun family since he was a child. He has never been educated by the Yun family, nor has he been loved by his father.
What qualifications does he have to decide her whereabouts and her future?
"You have your own choice, and you shouldn't risk your life for anyone." Yun Jingyu said, reaching out and patting Mu Qian on the shoulder, "I have failed to protect you when you grow up, so I can't let you grow up because of
I will be harmed in any way.”
He is also a human being, and he also has emotions and desires, and there are times when emotion is stronger than reason, but even if it is just a momentary thought, he must apologize to Mu Qian.
Mu Qian stood there and watched him leave, vaguely aware that something was wrong with him.
The glass door closed and opened, and Chi Si appeared in front of her. He noticed something was wrong with her and didn't say anything, just waiting for her to speak.
"Chi Si, father guessed my identity." Mu Qian only said one sentence.
Chi Si listened to his words and said softly, "The ministers of the Pursuit Department and the Investigation Department have given the final order. If they want to save Yun Zaichun, I will use you in exchange."
Therefore, it is unknown that the Yun family members are now trying their best to search for Hong Gardenia.
"Then what exactly does father want to do?" Mu Qian was confused.
According to Yun Han's arrangement, Yun Zaichun will be able to come back from Shu Ling in the next two days, but Fu Yunliu doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go.
This time, he was in vain. He didn't get the Golden Thunder Order and he didn't catch her. There's no telling what dirty tricks he will do in the future.
"Are you sad?" Chi Si looked down at her and suddenly said something.
Mu Qian, who was still deep in her own thoughts, looked up at him and realized what the man was asking.
"It would be a lie to say I'm not sad, but it's not too sad either."
He just had this idea, and it made Mu Qian understand that in Yun Jingyu's eyes, her biological daughter could be abandoned by other important things.
Or, in his world, this cannot be regarded as giving up.
Although he didn't take action, Mu Qian also knew that her child, who was outside Yun Jingyu's plan, had never received father's love since she was a child, and it was impossible to receive it now.
"Fortunately..." she murmured.
Fortunately, she is not Mu Qian. She has never gotten along with her parents, and she doesn't know how to devote her efforts to getting along with her parents.
She has no feelings for Yun Jingyu, so she won't be disappointed.
Chi Si lowered his head and gently hugged her into his arms, "I will never leave you."
No matter what kind of person she will be abandoned by, she will always be the first in Chi Si's heart.
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
In Yun Jingyu's eyes, she is just a daughter who is related by blood but not related. Compared with the children he watched grow up in front of him, her importance is indeed incomparable.
"Chi Si, he actually doesn't want to hurt me, right?"
She buried her face in the man's chest and her voice was muffled. These words seemed to be asking Chi Si and herself.
Chi Si patted her back gently and coaxed her, and answered firmly and gently, "Yes."
Although her reason told her that she would not be sad, she still subconsciously sympathized with Mu Qian, and her heart still felt like it was being grasped by countless hands.
"What do you think he will do next?" Mu Qian let go of her hand holding his waist.
The man's fingertips touched the end of her red eyes, and he shook his head with a chuckle, "I don't know, but since he didn't take that step, it means that he won't hurt you."
Mu Qian sighed. She was not afraid that Yun Jingyu would do something to hurt her.
After all, although this father is not affectionate towards her, he does not hate her either and would not do such a thing.
But she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know why.
