Chapter 26 Renamed Magnolia
Chapter 26 Renamed Magnolia
"And then there was Aunt Yu. Time and time again, I've accepted what I couldn't accept and tolerated what I couldn't tolerate!" Wei Wan's face revealed a hint of helplessness.
Over the years, Wei Wan, his wife, had long since come to terms with him. Although she still had some feelings for him, those feelings stemmed from the fact that he was, after all, the father of her child.
Looking at Wei's mother's expression, Yun Juan didn't think she was emotionless. Perhaps she was only standing on the child's side because she had hurt the child. If it were someone else, she thought Wei's mother would still choose to stand on his side.
After all, it was someone she had loved throughout her adolescence, someone she had shared a bed with for twenty years. How could she just let go of them like that? Yun Juan understood.
Remembering what Yun Juan had just said to Yun Rui, Wei's mother cautiously asked, "Juan'er, was what you just told your brother true?"
Yun Juan didn't know how to answer the question. She could indeed save him, but his body was too weak right now.
She couldn't very well say that only her good friend Liu Chengcheng could save her, or that she herself needed to study medicine again. This dynasty didn't have Western medicine, much less sophisticated modern equipment, so naturally, there was no way to save her.
She now possesses the world's most sophisticated instruments, but lacks only someone skilled in the medical field.
“Mother, it’s true. But my brother’s health is a bit poor, so the most important thing now is to help him regain his confidence and get better so he can meet the conditions for treatment.” Yun Juan didn’t want to extinguish the glimmer of hope in Wei’s mother’s eyes, so she had to come up with a compromise, but it was indeed something that needed to be done.
Otherwise, even if he undergoes surgery, his small frame wouldn't be able to withstand it, and whether he can even get off the operating table is a question.
"Quan'er, do you know medicine?" Mother Wei asked uncertainly.
Yun Juan nodded: "There are many reclusive masters in our village, so I apprenticed under a master for a few years and studied for a while. I'm not exactly an expert, but if we can find my senior sister, she should be able to help. She's quite good at this."
Mother Wei's eyes filled with tears, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. She clearly owed the deepest debt to Juan'er, yet Juan'er had become the pillar of support for all of them.
After Wei's mother left, Yun Juan quickly entered her spatial dimension. The DNA test results should be in by now, and the answer should be revealed. Yun Ting's true colors should be exposed by now.
As expected, Yun Juan was shocked when she received the report. Good heavens, it really was an illegitimate daughter.
Yun Ting, that old scoundrel, is not honest at all; he's keeping a mistress right under our noses.
Yun Juan felt that this matter needed to be considered carefully and that it should be taken advantage of; it couldn't be allowed to pass by like this.
My elder brother Yunlin has been very busy with official duties these past few days. I haven't seen him since he came back. He's either in the palace or in the military camp. He comes back very late every day, so Yun Juan rarely sees him.
Before he knew it, it was time for him to return to the frontier. As the commander-in-chief of the border army, he naturally could not be away for too long.
A border general cannot stay in the capital for long, as the emperor will become suspicious. So he has been summoned to stay in the palace these days, and now he understands that it is time to go back.
Before sunrise, Yun Quan recognized the horse and the accompanying generals. These generals were the ones who had accompanied Yun Lin to the countryside to fetch the original owner of the body.
"Go back now. It's damp in the morning. What if you get sick again? Juan'er, take good care of your mother!" Yunlin looked at her younger sister who had just returned with reluctance.
He should have stayed by her side and watched her grow up! But he was always forced to do things against his will. The Turks were now eyeing him covetously, as were several neighboring countries. Tianyuan Kingdom needed them!
"Go with peace of mind! Don't worry about home!" Yun Juan still respected this older brother very much. Because of her previous life, she had a kind of faith in soldiers and generals who guarded the frontier.
They are the truly selfless ones!
Looking at her son, Wei's mother was reluctant to part with him, but she couldn't be so selfish; he had his mission!
"Go! Don't worry about home!" Mother Wei looked at Yunlin, her eyes still brimming with tears.
Yunlin mounted his horse and reluctantly left home, while his mother, Wei, kept wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Yun Quan felt a pang of sadness, her eyes welling up with tears. She gently wiped her eyes with her finger, leaving a trail of water on her fingertip.
She looked at her fingers. Were these tears? So this is what tears feel like! Is this what sadness feels like? How wonderful!
Since she transmigrated to this dynasty, she seems to have experienced many things she had never experienced before, and only then did she feel that she was a person with flesh and blood!
After Yunlin left, Yunqian welcomed her first guest!
Since the day she met the girl who was selling herself to bury her father, and gave her a silver note, she had waited for many days but the girl did not appear.
Qinghe couldn't help but complain, saying, "Could it be a swindler who ran off with the silver notes?"
She shook her head and said no! When a person is in dire straits and is insulted and slandered by men on the street, the fact that she can remain calm shows that she knows how to endure.
Moreover, my first impression of her was that the magnolia flower perfectly matched her temperament!
"Miss!" The girl knelt down straight in front of Yun Juan.
"Stand up and speak first!" Yun Juan disliked the ancient people's habit of kneeling at the drop of a hat.
“Miss, from now on you will be my mistress! If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid… I…” The girl started to cry as she spoke.
"Does it have a name?" Yun Juan was just missing someone to do things for her outside, and she thought she had one now!
"I want to say goodbye to the past! Forget what I used to be! Please give me a name, Master!" The girl knelt on the ground, as if she wouldn't get up unless you gave her a name.
Yun Juan thought this was for the best; saying goodbye to the past was a fresh start!
"Let's call it White Magnolia!" Spring has arrived, and the magnolia flowers are in full bloom, the whole tree is as white as snow, just like her, elegant and graceful.
Each flower is like a delicate work of art, with petals as white as snow and stamens as golden as silk, emitting a faint fragrance.
A gentle breeze blows, and petals fall, as light as snowflakes.
Her beauty and elegance are unforgettable!
The girl looked up into Yun Quan's eyes, which were bright and resolute. She thought she hadn't chosen the wrong master, and that by following her, they could definitely reach the top together!
"Do you remember the pharmacy where we met? That was your starting point, wasn't it, Boss Bai!" Yun Juan's meaning was clear: she wanted her to take over that pharmacy.
Yun Quan thought that since she had no rights in this dynasty, she would create them.
Her memory has been getting increasingly hazy lately, and she's been seeing a lot of people, things, and events that she's never encountered before!
She will leave sooner or later. She can't protect Wei Wan and the original owner's family, so she will create a business empire that belongs to them!
That's enough to show that I've done right by the original owner and not let her down!
