After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 34

After arriving here, Yun Dan hadn’t seen any other people in this manor, and she was quite curious about what kind of person Dongfang Wuchen’s mother was.

So she teased, “I’m very curious about what your mother is like. I feel that a mother who could raise such a refined and elegant young master from a prestigious family shouldn’t be too bad. When she hit you as a child, it must have been for your own good.”

At the mention of his mother, Dongfang Wuchen couldn’t help but smile slightly.

His mother was indeed wonderful.

So much so that Dongfang Wuchen still felt proud to this day.

He put down his chopsticks, as if opening up completely.

“My mother comes from a distinguished family. You might not understand, so I won’t mention my grandfather and the others. I heard that my father and mother missed each other for many years back then, and only got together after meeting again later.”

This piqued Yun Dan’s curiosity.

“Why don’t you elaborate? This kind of love that goes round and round before finally coming together is really not easy.”

Though she herself had never been in love.

But that didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it in TV dramas and novels.

Even though she knew it was fake, every time she saw such scenes, she would cry along.

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t avoid the topic with Yun Dan, but truly treated her as a confidante.

“My grandfather didn’t betroth my mother to my father back then, but married her to someone else instead. My father was heartbroken for many years because of this, always waiting for my mother.

Later I heard that her previous husband passed away, and she reunited with my father in Yong City. My father pursued my mother for a long time before she agreed to marry him. Then came my sister, and then me.”

“My father truly treasures my mother. Sometimes when mother is a bit nicer to me, he gets jealous. At his age, they’re an old married couple, yet he still likes to cling to mother. But actually I’m quite envious – if I could find someone like my mother as a wife in the future, it would probably be very happy.”

Yun Dan still knew some basic information about this world.

Yong City had good customs and didn’t oppose widows remarrying.

People didn’t look at widows or divorced women with strange eyes either.

But listening to what Dongfang Wuchen said, his parents’ love was simply divine.

No wonder Dongfang Wuchen was envious.

If it were her, she would probably be envious too, right?

“Your parents’ path of love really wasn’t easy. That your father could wait faithfully for so many years shows how much he loved your mother back then.”

The two chatted for a while, but then a servant seemed to have urgent business with Dongfang Wuchen, knocking on the door for quite some time.

Dongfang Wuchen could only apologize to Yun Dan before walking outside.

They didn’t seem to go far, so Yun Dan could still hear their conversation.

She hadn’t forgotten what she was supposed to do, so she pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what secrets they were discussing.

“Young Manor Lord, the Shu Sect has been wiped out. We don’t know who did it.”

Dongfang Wuchen also hadn’t expected to hear such shocking news first thing in the morning.

The people of the Shu Sect were indeed detestable and had injured Yun Dan, but he hadn’t sent anyone to massacre the Shu Sect.

So who could it be?

“I didn’t send anyone to destroy the Shu Sect. Was it father?”

The servant shook his head, saying, “No, the Old Manor Lord also didn’t send anyone to attack the Shu Sect.”

This was very strange.

If it wasn’t his father who did it, then who could it be?

Dongfang Wuchen pressed further, “If it wasn’t father or me, then who do you think could have done such a thing as massacring the Shu Sect?”

The servant had probably heard some rumors.

So he told these rumors to Dongfang Wuchen.

“Young Manor Lord, some people speculate it might be that person from Tianqing Manor. After all, he’s a famous great demon. If the Shu Sect people also went to assassinate him, it would be normal for him to massacre their entire sect. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time.”

Actually, when the servant reported to him earlier, Dongfang Wuchen had also thought of this possibility.

But currently there was no evidence to prove that these things were all done by Xiao Yueqing.

Following his principle of not wronging a good person, he felt they couldn’t jump to conclusions about the matter.

After all, evidence was needed.

“Don’t mention speculation without any evidence. Even if he is a great demon, we can’t wrong a good person. Moreover, other prestigious families will surely investigate the Shu Sect matter. Mingyue Manor doesn’t need to be the one to stick our neck out. Don’t bring this up again.”

“Yes, Young Manor Lord.”

The two people outside sounded very calm, but Yun Dan, who was eavesdropping, heard their entire conversation clearly.

This Shu Sect should be the people who came to assassinate Dongfang Wuchen yesterday but failed and ended up running away, right?

Speaking of this Shu Sect, Yun Dan naturally hated them immensely.

Who told them to injure her instead?

She was just a bystander eating melons, but unexpectedly had such bad luck to encounter this.

However, she was still somewhat curious about the Shu Sect being wiped out. Who exactly could do such a thing?

The first person Yun Dan thought of was also Xiao Yueqing.

Who told him he was a famous great villain? Only he could do something like massacring an entire sect overnight.

But this Shu Sect wasn’t any good bird either.

She heard they often did dirty deeds like stealing and robbing on ordinary days.

But thinking about it, Yun Dan felt that Xiao Yueqing didn’t seem to have any reason to destroy the Shu Sect.

It couldn’t possibly be for her sake, could it?

What virtue or ability did she have?

Soon the door was pushed open.

Yun Dan quickly pretended she hadn’t heard anything and casually drank her tea.

But actually her heart was about to jump to her throat.

She prayed that Dongfang Wuchen wouldn’t question her.

She didn’t like lying, yet had to lie.

So the best approach was for him not to ask.

Dongfang Wuchen seemed to hear Yun Dan’s inner voice and indeed didn’t mention the outside matter, but chatted with her about other things.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t asked you yet – how old are you this year?”

“Eighteen, two years younger than you.”

“You really are still a young girl. When I saw you yesterday, I felt your age probably wasn’t too old. Now I see you’re indeed still young.”

“By the way, Miss Yun Dan, are you comfortable living in this Mingyue Manor? Is there anything you need? I can have someone send it over. Or should I assign a few people to attend to you?”

Yun Dan repeatedly waved her hands in refusal.

Joking aside, if he assigned a few people to watch over her, how could she display her undercover qualities?

Those working undercover had to fight alone and work hard to blend in.

“No need, I’m just a rough person. I’m fine by myself. But Young Master Dongfang, I really must thank you for that matter. I won’t stay here too long – it wouldn’t be good to disturb you for too long.”

When she would leave, she didn’t know.

But expressing her position first was never wrong.
