Chapter 4 The gate was blown up.
Yun Quan sat in the carriage, and Yun Lin kept talking the whole way, giving a general introduction to the Yun family.
His father, Yunting, was the prime minister of Tianyuan Kingdom, and his mother was his principal wife. There were also two concubines in the household.
Yun Juan thought to herself, "This old man is quite the ladies' man. He even has two concubines. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder ancient times were so great."
If this happened in modern times, the legal wife would probably pull his hair out. Forget about taking a concubine, even having a mistress would make headlines.
Yunlin kept talking by her carriage, and Yun Juan's head was throbbing from his chatter. This guy looked like a cold-faced general, but who knew he was such a chatterbox in private? Look at how much he talks! Why didn't he become a civil official? He's such a waste of his talent.
"Can you shut your mouth and be quiet? It's a shame you're not in the Censorate." Yunlin's ears turned red instantly at her sister's words. Did her sister look down on her?
Seeing his expression, Yun Quan realized that she might have gone too far with her words. These past few years of living in the apocalypse had made her forget how to get along with humans.
Actually, it's not just in these last few years of the apocalypse; she's been heartless since birth, so it's normal that she doesn't understand human emotions. Liu Chengcheng often teases her, saying that she has no heart and no love, which is fine, at least she won't be love-struck.
"Little sister, are you annoyed by my chatter?" Yunlin thought that maybe she and her sister didn't spend much time together, and their lifestyles and habits were different.
He took out a charcoal pencil and some scrap paper from his pocket and drew on the paper carefully for a long time.
Yun Juan glanced at it and was surprised that this straight man had been doodling on the paper for so long. What was he drawing?
Is this abstract? A bird without a beak? And what's more, is that wingless, landlubber even a bird? Yun Juan really wouldn't have recognized it if it hadn't been standing on the tree.
Even Liu Chengcheng's paintings are better than his.
"What... what are you drawing? Is that a bird?" Yun Juan grinned and pointed at the drawing in Yun Lin's hand, still with a hint of uncertainty.
"Hehe, it's not very good, little sister, don't make fun of me. Aren't you afraid of noise? I'm afraid I won't remember it, so I draw it down so I can remember it more clearly and won't forget it. It's just a little ugly." Yunlin scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he saw Yun Juan staring at his drawing.
A warm feeling washed over Yun Juan; she had never felt this way before, and it seemed quite nice.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, Yun Juan felt a gaze watching her from the shadows. Because the gaze was so well hidden, Yun Juan couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
I wonder what the connection is between being kidnapped on my way back and the person who was watching me from the shadows earlier? Who exactly did I get in my way that they wanted to kill me?
Yun Quan felt as if she were enveloped by a huge fog, but what was there to be afraid of? She would kill gods if they came and Buddhas if they stood in her way. She had never been afraid of mutated humans in the apocalypse since she was a child, so why would she be afraid of a bunch of rats in the gutter?
It only takes a quarter of an hour to get from the city gate to the Yun family's residence. At this moment, the Yun family's gate is tightly closed, and it doesn't look like they are welcoming Yun Juan home at all.
"Little sister, rest in the carriage for a while. I'll go check on things first." Yunlin dismounted, the whip he was gripping tightly in his hand betraying his emotions.
Yun Juan knew he wanted to stand up for her, but it didn't matter. She didn't care about such a small thing; it wasn't worth it. Since the gate wouldn't open, why not just tear it down?
"Brother, don't move. Watch me!" Yun Juan stood up, nimbly jumped off the carriage, and took out a small black cube from her spatial storage. This was a valuable item; consider it a small gift for the Yun family!
She quickly lit it and threw it towards the Yun family's gate. Then Yun Lin saw his sister throw something black. He wanted to see what his sister was up to.
Unexpectedly, Yun Juan ran in the opposite direction after throwing the food. She even pulled up Yun Lin, who was still standing there in a daze.
Yunlin was still a little confused. His little sister had grabbed his hand? The soft little hand grabbed his wrist, and he subconsciously followed Yunquan.
With a loud "boom," the Yun family's gate was blown to pieces.
The loud noise startled Prime Minister Yun, who was working hard on Aunt Hua's bed. He had originally wanted to show off his prowess, but the loud noise made him go limp.
Aunt Hua was also startled. What was that sound?
"Master? Did you hear something?" Aunt Hua wondered if she had misheard or was hallucinating.
"Don't tug at me, I heard you too. Wait, I'll go check first." Prime Minister Yun picked up his clothes and walked outside, as if he had forgotten that Wei Wan had told him that today was the day that jinx was coming back.
Yun Ting was shocked when he reached the door. This massive door had simply vanished into thin air? Was the pile of debris on the ground the door's remains? Was the doorway really so empty?
Yun Ting still couldn't believe it, thinking he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and found that he wasn't seeing things.
The butler also saw his master walk over, disheveled. Had he been startled awake from bed? The master must be furious.
Should I stay away? They've already destroyed the main gate! If the master gets angry, won't the innocent bystanders suffer? I'm just a nobody; can't I just stay out of the master's business?
Clearly, the butler's idea was unrealistic. Yun Ting was now calling on him: "Butler, come here and tell me what happened? Where's the main gate? What kind of butler are you? You managed to lose the main gate?"
The butler was also helpless. Why was he being blamed for the Yun family's gate being lost?
"It's the young master and the young lady who have returned. Didn't you tell us not to open the door? It seems the young lady threw some kind of black egg, and that's why the door is like this!" The butler lowered his head and looked at his toes, his voice growing softer and softer.
"You unfilial son! You've rebelled! You've really rebelled! You tore down the main gate on your very first day back. Are you trying to tear down your father too?" Prime Minister Yun's eyes were bloodshot with anger. This was a lot of hard-earned money.
When Yunlin led Yun Juan through the door, they happened to hear Prime Minister Yun cursing loudly, and Yun Juan pouted.
Good heavens, in broad daylight, dressed so disheveled, this old man is up to no good! Tsk tsk tsk, at his age, he's still got plenty of energy.
"Prime Minister Yun is living a good life! He looks so radiant. It seems he's enjoying a very comfortable life!" Yun Juan covered her mouth and gave Prime Minister Yun a knowing look.
Yunlin glanced at his father's disheveled appearance. Was he really that impatient in broad daylight? He even felt a little ashamed!
When Yun Ting heard what his eldest daughter said, it felt like a wad of phlegm was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
