After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 39

But if it were any other issue, Mulan wouldn’t have gotten so angry.

However, on this matter, Mulan absolutely would not allow her son to speak up for a great demon.

Thinking of this, the original tenderness in Mulan’s eyes disappeared completely, replaced by a cold chill.

But she knew she couldn’t take her anger out on her son, so she spoke earnestly. “Wuchen, your experience is still shallow, so mother won’t blame you for this matter. But you must understand that this great demon has committed countless evil deeds. If you speak for him now, when there are conflicts of interest in the future, he may not choose to spare us.

So we cannot let a person who has committed many evil deeds go free. Even if he didn’t do this particular thing, it’s always right to be cautious. He has harmed so many people in his daily life, so many have died by his hands – such a person is not worth pitying at all.

You must understand that you are different from that demon, and you will inherit Mingyue Manor in the future, so you must work hard to conduct yourself as a future manor lord should. Do you understand?”

For the first time, Dongfang Wuchen realized that his beloved and respected mother was actually no different from those people.

He retreated several steps in succession, not understanding why things had turned out this way.

In his memories, his mother was gentle and refined, never harshly scolding him.

No matter what he said, his mother usually supported him.

Only today, with this matter…

Dongfang Wuchen looked at Mulan with confusion, as if trying to see some answer on her face.

“Mother, I don’t understand. Why don’t any of you care about evidence? Just because someone is a bad person, does that mean every bad thing must have been done by him? What if we wrongfully accuse a good person because we have no evidence? I think…”

Slap – a palm struck directly across Dongfang Wuchen’s face.

Mulan looked at the handprint on her son’s face and immediately felt some regret.

She wondered how she could have been so impulsive today, even raising her hand to hit him.

She lifted her hand, wanting to touch the handprint on his face, but Dongfang Wuchen directly avoided her.

He tilted his head to the side, dodging Mulan’s hand completely.

Without saying anything, he turned and left directly.

This scene happened to fall into Yun Dan’s eyes.

When she saw Mulan hit Dongfang Wuchen earlier, Yun Dan nearly had her jaw drop in shock, thinking this woman was ruthless enough – striking someone over a disagreement.

Because she was far away, Yun Dan didn’t hear their specific conversation clearly, only vaguely catching Xiao Yueqing’s name.

This left Yun Dan very puzzled – why would Mulan hit him at this time?

Could it be because of the matter with Xiao Yueqing and the extermination of the Shu Sect?

But what business was it of theirs anyway!

After thinking it over, Yun Dan still ran to the kitchen to ask for some ice.

With the hot weather now, the kitchen would also prepare some chilled desserts, so ice was quite common in the kitchen.

Plus, with Yun Dan’s sweet-talking skills, she had the head chef wrapped around her finger, and he gave her ice without a second thought.

Yun Dan also found a clean square towel and a box, then wrapped the ice, planning to find Dongfang Wuchen.

Thinking about it, this kid had suffered such a great grievance and would definitely run to his room to brood behind closed doors.

Don’t ask.

If you ask, it’s because she understood this type of straight-laced guy too well.

She gently knocked on Dongfang Wuchen’s door.

But she heard an angry “Get lost!” from inside.

Good heavens, what kind of grievance was this to make such a person so angry?

A passing servant thought Yun Dan was new and quietly reminded her:

“The young manor lord sometimes has a bad temper. I saw his expression wasn’t good when he came back. It’s better not to disturb him at this time, otherwise if you anger the young manor lord, I’m afraid…”

Yun Dan smiled at the servant but still pushed open the door without hesitation.

However, the moment the door opened, a pillow flew directly over.

Looking at the pillow by her feet, Yun Dan thought to herself, “Good thing you threw a pillow.”

If he had thrown some other object, not only would she be disfigured, she might accidentally kick the bucket too.

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t know that the person who pushed the door open was Yun Dan, and didn’t even lift his head.

“Get lost, I don’t need you to serve me.”

Yun Dan turned around and closed the door.

Before the door completely closed, Yun Dan saw the servant give her a sympathetic look.

Yun Dan naturally understood this look – it seemed this guy thought she too would inevitably anger Dongfang Wuchen.

But she wasn’t too afraid.

Yun Dan boldly walked over.

She discovered that Dongfang Wuchen was like a little child, wrapped up in his blanket. At first glance, he looked like a snowman.

She placed her things aside, then reached out to pull his blanket.

“What’s wrong, Young Master Dongfang?”

Hearing Yun Dan’s voice, Dongfang Wuchen obviously felt much less angry and finally emerged from under the blanket.

Looking up, it really was her.

Seeing his familiar person, Dongfang Wuchen immediately changed his expression. “How did you come? Did I hit you with something just now?”

He remembered throwing a pillow when someone pushed the door open.

Although it was just a pillow, Dongfang Wuchen was also worried about hitting Yun Dan.

After all, Yun Dan was still injured now.

And she was half a lifesaver too.

Yun Dan smiled and explained that the pillow didn’t hit her.

Although Dongfang Wuchen had some doubts, he believed what Yun Dan said.

After the two chatted for a few sentences, Yun Dan slapped her forehead, finally remembering what she had come for.

Originally, Dongfang Wuchen was facing sideways, so she hadn’t noticed the handprint on his face.

Only when he turned his head this way did she remember.

She hurried to pick up the towel wrapped with ice.

“I brought you ice. If you apply it to the handprint, it will disappear and won’t hurt too much.”

“You saw that?”

Yun Dan nodded.

“I saw it. Why did your mother hit you? I remember you saying she spoils you.”

Speaking of this matter, Dongfang Wuchen became very annoyed.

However, he felt that not a single person supported what he had said.

Even his mother thought what he said was wrong.

“I said some things that made my mother unhappy, but I think I wasn’t wrong.”

Yun Dan nodded, helping him apply the ice while asking, “When I passed by, I heard you two mention Xiao Yueqing’s name. Did your mother hit you because you spoke up for him?”

This was actually just Yun Dan’s guess.

After all, from such a distance, being able to hear a name was already quite remarkable.

But she could guess.

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t expect Yun Dan to guess it directly.

He lowered his head and said with some confusion, “You might not know about the extermination of the Shu Sect. Everyone thinks it was Xiao Yueqing who did it. Some people even say that even if he didn’t do it, all the blame should be pushed onto him because he’s an absolute great demon.

But I think that everything should be based on evidence, and we can’t wrongfully accuse any good person. Even if he was once a bad person, do you think I was wrong?”
