Chapter 248 You are you, Yan'er is Yan'er
Xin Moyan was stunned by these words. What did he mean by "they are one"?
"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Xin Moling shook her head. "The reason behind this is probably only known to Xie Cangming. The only thing he told me was to cherish you, Yan'er. You are my sister. When he said I had two sisters, wasn't he referring to you and Yan'er?"
"Can……"
"Alright! Let me tell you, I've already come to terms with the facts and I've never blamed you for anything. You're not allowed to feel guilty anymore."
His gaze fell upon the bright moon, his eyes filled with countless thoughts. "I have loved Yan'er for eighteen years, but she has left me in the end. It was destined long ago. I can neither change it nor forget it. But thankfully you have come. I have a second sister, Yan'er. I will not treat you as Yan'er's shadow. You are you, and Yan'er is Yan'er."
With a clang, he took the Azure Water Sword in his hand, his fingertips caressing the begonia pendant, his eyes suddenly becoming even softer.
"Actually, Yan'er is a very talented child. She loved painting when she was little. Look, she could paint this style when she was thirteen. I was so happy when I received this jade pendant. Yan'er is also very kind, just like you. She will not look down on anyone because of social status or etiquette. Even though Yan'er was isolated and bullied by those people in the palace before, she was never spoiled or unreasonable to others. Many rumors are just rumors, except for Yuan Huailie."
He sighed softly, "I often think, if Yan'er hadn't had those feelings for him, would she have avoided that disaster? But if I think about it carefully, what if Yan'er had encountered trouble in some other way and I wasn't by her side? What would I have done then?"
"I am also very fortunate. I am fortunate that I was with Yan'er in her last moments. I am also fortunate that Xie Cangming happened to be in the palace at that time. He gave me a younger sister again. Your existence has allowed everything for Xin Moyan to continue. It is because of you, my clever and mischievous Yan'er, that I am so happy at this moment."
"Brother~"
Xin Moyan called out in a daze. She didn't know how to express her feelings at this moment. It turned out that her brother had never forgotten his sister. Not only did he endure the pain of losing his sister, but he also spoiled her rotten. He even defied the royal family several times for her sake.
“I’m fine, Yan’er. Remember, you are Xin Moyan. Just be yourself. Your brother will always be with you. I’ve already lost one sister. I can’t lose another.”
He gently stroked Xin Moyan's head, his eyes full of love and tenderness. "Yan'er, let's not mention this matter again in the future. Or... do you not acknowledge me as your brother?"
The questioning look in her eyes startled Xin Moyan, and she hurriedly explained, "No, no, no! Brother, how could I not recognize you? I'm just... just afraid that you won't recognize me anymore."
"Then why did you call me... General Xin just now?"
"This, this..." Her eyes darted around, instantly dispelling the oppressive atmosphere between the two.
Seeing her awkward expression, Xin Moling couldn't help but chuckle. "Yan'er, from now on you will live with your brother and sister-in-law, and we will always love you dearly."
"What about Xuan Yuan? Brother, didn't you say you'd let him stay at the General's Mansion too?"
The air, which had just begun to calm down, froze instantly. He glanced at Xin Moyan and said resentfully, "Yan'er, are you already thinking about him all the time? Is it because you're married that you don't even care about your brother anymore?"
"What? Brother~"
She smiled ingratiatingly and wrapped her arms around his strong arms. "Brother is so handsome, Yan'er likes you the most!"
Hearing this coquettish flattery, Xin Moling's eyes showed even more affection, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "That's more like it."
"Brother, I will take good care of you in the future, and I will be twice as filial to you!"
"Hehe~ Yan'er, are you saying that you'll support your brother by running a milk tea business?"
"Yes! It's Xuan Yuan's business if he's rich. I want to be filial to my brother, so I definitely have to earn money myself. My brother will be proud of me, right?"
"Yes, Yan'er is right. Whatever you want to do, your brother will support you!"
"Brother, otherwise... I won't get married. I want to stay with you a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Xin Moling suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Yan'er, promise your brother that even if you marry Xuan Yuan in the future, you must live with your brother and not run around to different countries like he used to."
"Hehe~ Don't worry, brother, I will definitely live with you and your sister-in-law. Even if we go to other countries to travel, you and your sister-in-law must come with us."
"I'm not going. Although things are peaceful now, there are undercurrents both inside and outside the country. Qi Yun is watching us like a tiger eyeing the night..."
He frowned. "Ye Lan is fickle. Even though Bai Qing is honest, the Jin family has internal troubles. These three kingdoms appear to be on good terms, but in reality, none of them are easy to get along with. Moreover, not long ago, didn't you help His Majesty devise strategies to rectify the corrupt officials and collusion between powerful families in the previous dynasty? If there is no war now, I should also do something for His Majesty in the previous dynasty."
"I've been so busy with the marriage decree these past few days that I forgot to inquire about the matters we discussed a while ago. I wonder how His Majesty is handling them?"
"Don't worry, Yan'er. His Majesty is more astute than anyone else and will not let a single detail slip by."
The brother and sister leaned against each other, sitting on the rooftop, chatting idly...
"By the way, Yan'er, Liu Fuchen sent someone over this evening with a message. He said he wants to see you and asked if you are free tomorrow?"
Upon hearing Liu Fuchen's name, Xin Moyan slapped her forehead hard and said in annoyance, "I knew I forgot something. After leaving the palace that day, I was clearly going to find Fuchen."
"Why are you looking for him?"
A blue figure flashed through his mind. Xin Moling pursed his lips. To be honest, he also admired Liu Fuchen. It was just a pity that Yan'er had no feelings for him. In addition, Liu Fuchen was not like some people who would "use any means necessary" to win Yan'er over.
"I recently promised His Majesty that I would recommend some talented people to him, and Fu Chen is the first person I thought of."
"He's obsessed with painting and calligraphy all day long, would he agree?"
"Whether I agree or not, I have to see Fuchen first!"
"Well, it's getting late. Since Yan'er is going out tomorrow, she should get some rest."
She didn't answer, but instead looked at Xin Moling expectantly, "Brother, are you feeling better now?"
He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, his eyes radiating warmth and gentleness.
"Who says I'm in a bad mood? Yan'er is so considerate and sensible, I'm never unhappy. Come on, let me carry you down. Tomorrow, I'll have the servants thoroughly check the treasury and arrange the grandest dowry for Yan'er in the entire Yuanqi."
"Brother, I don't need a dowry..."
