Chapter 20 Ji Luochen (1)

"Little Yunyun is here? Why didn't you wake me? Daughter-in-law, do you want to monopolize Little Yunyun all to yourself?" Rong Grandpa saw Mu Lingyun and pretended to be angry as he glared at Mu Wanqing.

"You can't blame me. If anyone is to blame, it should be Xiaofeng. He was the one who brought her back, yet he didn't tell you. That was really mean." Mu Wanqing suggested, implying that if she could shift the blame quickly, it wouldn't fall on her.

Rong Grandpa indeed glared at Rong Shaofeng, "You little rascal, completely lacking tact."

Rong Shaofeng: ...

Blaming him, huh? He could get shot even while lying down.

Rong Shaofeng wanted to say something in his defense, but Rong Grandpa had already pulled Mu Lingyun to sit down.

"My good granddaughter, come sit with Grandpa and don't mind those two scoundrels."

Rong Shaofeng: ...

Mu Wanqing: ...

After lunch, Mu Lingyun was having tea with Rong Grandpa in the flower room.

Rong Grandpa took out a card and handed it to Mu Lingyun.

Mu Lingyun took the card with some confusion, "Grandpa, this is…"

"This is your New Year's money from over the years. The password is your birthday, 010217," Rong Grandpa said with a kind smile. "Every year, Grandpa has been giving your elder and second brothers their New Year's money, and naturally, you too. It's all in here. I've always hoped that one day, I could give it to you personally, and finally, that day is here. Take it."

"New Year's money for over a decade? How much is it?" Rong Shaofeng asked curiously, leaning over.

"How much could it be? Just a few tens of millions," Rong Grandpa said.

Mu Lingyun: ...

Rong Shaofeng: ...

Mu Lingyun nearly dropped the card from shock.

New Year's money accumulating to tens of millions? Is this what being rich is like?

Rong Shaofeng said that he never had tens of millions in New Year's money.

"All this money, I…" Mu Lingyun started to decline.

"What? You don't want the New Year's money Grandpa is giving you? You would really hurt Grandpa's feelings by saying that," Rong Grandpa said with an expression of utter devastation.

Mu Lingyun's mouth twitched, and all she could say was, "I'll take it, I'll take it…"

That evening, Mu Lingyun met Rong Yinian and Rong Shicheng and formally recognized them again, settling into the Rong Family house.

Mu Lingyun thought she was quite adaptable and would sleep comfortably in such a cozy room.

But to her surprise, she lay on the comfortable bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

Perhaps it was because she had heard Ji Luochen's name on the way, which stirred her emotions.

In her mind, one scene after another, they were all from Another World.

In Another World, she was born in the Vassal States, where at that time, the ruling Ji Royal Family was weak, and the ambitions of various Feudal Lords to replace them were blatantly obvious.

It wasn't until the Ji Royal Family's last Crown Prince, Ji Luochen, started to take control that things began to improve.

He was an expert at deploying troops and familiar with all sorts of strategic maneuvers. His performance in all aspects could be described as stunning.

He managed to hold back the ambitions of the various Feudal Lords in just three years.

When the various Feudal Lords spoke of this Crown Prince, they did so with great respect, considering him the hope for the Ji Royal Family's revival.

Perhaps it was because heaven is jealous of talented people, or perhaps the Ji Royal Family's fortune was fading, this brilliant and dazzling young man was born with physical frailty.

These were things she inadvertently learned while she was sent to the Imperial Capital as a hostage.

She stumbled upon the secret that Ji Luochen's days were numbered, but instead of killing her, Ji Luochen kept her by his side and taught her many things.

In Another World, she engaged in wars, unified the seven nations, eradicated the Evil Cult, and trapped Magicians, believing she lived an honorable life without betraying the people or the country.

And the only person she felt she betrayed was Ji Luochen.

Because Ji Luochen taught her many things, serving both as a mentor and a friend. Yet, when she left, she stole the Ji Royal Family's Imperial Seal.
