C410 Imperial Edict

Feng Yu’s pupils shrank for no reason, and she even stopped breathing. However, she soon smiled again and looked at Yue Ling Long with a wicked look.

“If you can show me the evidence, then you can try to prove it. Maybe I will change my mind if I really believe that she is my father’s daughter.”

In any case, she never cared about morality. If Yue Ling Long could really show the evidence, it wouldn’t be too late for her to act shamelessly. After all, she was not a gentleman. She would just act shamelessly, and she wouldn’t feel guilty at all.

Yue Ling Long was so angry that she was grinding her teeth. She never thought that this little slut would be so difficult to deal with. It seemed that she had decided not to let Ling Yan return to her family.

Her eyes turned red, and she looked at Yun Hong with tears in her eyes. She said with an aggrieved voice, “Uncle Yun, you know about the relationship between me and my senior brother. Don’t you believe that Ling Yan is my senior brother’s daughter?”

While she was talking, Feng Yu also turned to look at Yun Hong. The smile on her face had disappeared, and her eyes were dark. She didn’t know what she was feeling, but Yun Hong knew that his girl was unhappy.

He had seen through the fight of words just now. His girl had never thought about letting Yue Ling Yan enter the Yun Family. So, if he had any intention, he would hurt her again.

His daughter was stubborn. If he hurt her heart again, she might never want to step into the Yun Family again.

Yun Hong clenched his fists and looked at Yue Linglong apologetically. He said in a deep voice, “Miss Yue, what happened back then has already passed. It doesn’t matter whether Princess Lingyan is Tian Er’s bloodline or not.”

“You know that Tian Er hasn’t come back for so many years. So, it is indeed hard to explain the matter of Princess Lingyan. Besides, I heard that the Patriarch of the Yue Family values Princess Lingyan very much. He even intends to let Princess Lingyan take over the Yue Family. So, don’t mention the matter of recognizing your ancestors. Is that okay?”

He paused for a moment and sighed. He said helplessly, “Just take it that I, Tian Er, and that little rascal have let you down. Just pretend that it never happened.”

After he finished speaking, Yue Linglong suddenly stood up from her chair and knelt in front of Yun Hong. Her sudden action made everyone in the hall lose their minds. Yun Hong stood up from his chair in shock and reached out to help her.

“Miss Yue, what are you doing? Get up. I can’t accept such a big gift.”

“No, Uncle Yun, I won’t get up.”

Yue Linglong reached out to block Yun Hong’s hand. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she cried, “Uncle Yun, it’s been sixteen years. Do you know how bitter I have been?”

“I’ve had enough of the scorn of others for being pregnant before marriage. However, I love my senior brother, so I endured all of it. I was willing to give birth to Ling Yan for him. Although his whereabouts are unknown now, I have been waiting for him. After giving birth to Ling Yan, I gave her to my father to raise. I went out alone and searched all over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to find my senior brother’s whereabouts.”

“I searched for him for sixteen years. After so many years, I have been wandering outside alone. Back then, when he sent the third young lady back, I missed him because I was looking for him outside.”

“After so many years, I know in my heart that the fate between me and my senior brother has already been completely cut off. However, Ling Yan is his daughter. Can’t she recognize her own father?”

“Uncle Yun, can you bear to see Ling Yan, a child without a father? I don’t care about what I do, but Ling Yan can’t be without a father forever. Uncle Yun, please let Ling Yan recognize her father. Just take it as me begging you…”

The hall was filled with Yue Linglong’s sad and weeping voice. It was so sad that it made people feel sad. Yun Hong’s eyes were red and he couldn’t help but want to cry.

Feng Yu looked at the scene with ridicule. Her dark eyes were cold. What was she trying to do?

Footsteps sounded outside the door. Feng Yu turned her head and saw Beiming Chen walking in with a eunuch. The eunuch was holding a scroll of imperial edict.

When she saw the imperial edict in the eunuch’s hand, Feng Yu’s eyes turned to Beiming Chen. She suddenly had a bad feeling.

“The imperial edict is here…”

The eunuch’s voice sounded. Yue Linglong quickly stopped herself from crying. She wiped her tears away and turned to Feng Yu. There was a flash of pride in her red eyes.

“General Yun, please receive the edict.”

The eunuch walked into the hall and looked at Yun Hong. Yun Hong was stunned. He quickly knelt on the ground. Yun Zhanfeng also knelt down behind him.

“I accept the edict.”

The eununuch opened the imperial edict in his hand. His voice sounded, “As the heavens decree, the Emperor has decreed that the daughter of the Yue Family in Ning Province, Lingyan, is talented and virtuous. She was given the title of a princess by me. I heard that Princess Lingyan is the daughter of my younger brother…”

“I am very happy to hear this. My younger brother has been missing for many years. His bloodline is thin. I am thankful to the heavens for giving Princess Lingyan this pearl. I am willing to help my younger brother return his bloodline. I will let Princess Lingyan return to her family. I will change my name to Yun Lingyan. It is not a waste of my brother’s love for me. This is the best I can do.”

The eunuch finished reading the imperial edict in his hand. He put away the imperial edict and looked at Yun Hong. He said with a joyous and angry voice, “General Yun, please accept the edict.”

Yun Hong subconsciously looked at Feng Yu, but he saw Feng Yu squinting her eyes as she looked at the ground beneath her feet. He didn’t know what she was thinking, but there was a hint of mockery on her face.

He suddenly felt his heart ache. He looked at the eunuch and shook his head vigorously. He said with an ancient voice, “No, Duke Qi, please forgive me. I can’t accept the decree.”

He knelt on the ground and didn’t get up. He didn’t even reach out to take the decree from the eunuch. His face was full of determination.

The eunuch frowned and said with a fake smile, “Aiyo, Old General Yun, I was warning you. If you refuse to accept the decree, your entire family will be executed. Are you sure you want to accept the decree?”

Yun Hong closed his eyes and said with a pained face, “Duke Qi, Tian’er has been missing for so many years. How can we let Princess Ling Yan return to her family? So, I can’t accept the decree. I hope you can make an exception and persuade the Emperor to take back his order.”
