Chapter 905: Chapter 907: Coming-of-Age Ceremony Completed (5 Updates)
Yun Jinnian looked indifferently at all the members of the Yun Family; when she was wronged, not a single person stood up to speak for her.
Father and brothers, uncles.
Her mother knew about it, but the others did not.
To the Yun Family, she had completely given up.
"Send him to the Princess Residence, or to the Ministry of Punishment. I must see who it is that dares to slander me like this!" Yun Jinnian spoke calmly.
Dong Shaozhi suddenly understood; he had mistaken the person.
No wonder such a major issue was not stopped, letting him speak, yet from beginning to end, he had been wrong.
"Such a petty person must be acting under someone’s orders. If the Commandery Princess trusts this prince, hand this person to me, and I will certainly find the truth for you!" Chu Yu spoke loudly.
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Then I am very grateful, Your Highness!"
"It’s a small matter!"
Dai Hanmi, feeling sorry for Yun Jinnian, quickly said, "Jinnian, the auspicious time is near, let’s go to the ancestral hall!"
"Hmm!"
Dong Shaozhi seemed like a joke, no one believed him at all.
While Han Tianci fiercely gave Dong Shaozhi two more punches, though they seemed nothing, they injured Dong Shaozhi’s internal organs enough to make him suffer.
And slandering the Commandery Princess, once the crime is established, Dong Shaozhi’s fate is predictable...
Luoyi and Luo’er stepped forward to hold down Dong Shaozhi, and the group proceeded to the ancestral hall.
Everyone had different thoughts, and it was clear that someone came today to cause trouble for Yun Jinnian, but who could it be?
There was much speculation.
At the ancestral hall, the red carpet had already been laid, the incense table set, and the guests had entered the hall.
Only to see Yun Jinnian, having changed into a new outfit, slowly walk up.
"Commence the ceremony!"
Yun Bi shouted.
Yun Jinnian slowly approached, kneeling on the large red cushion.
Chen Danyan and Dai Hanmi held a basin; the Grand Princess washed her hands, took a jade comb, and combed Yun Jinnian’s hair into a bun, adding hairpins.
Yun Jinnian stood up, went before Mrs. Han and Yun Qi, and knelt to show gratitude for their raising her.
Mrs. Han’s eyes were red.
How challenging this day had been.
Her daughter had suffered so much, and finally, finally, she would escape this sea of bitterness!
Then, she bowed to the Grand Princess to show respect for teachers and elders.
"Good!" The Grand Princess praised.
Yun Jinnian withdrew to outside the ancestral hall, bowing in gratitude to the guests inside for attending the ceremony.
After this, she went again to Mrs. Han and Yun Qi to kneel and listen to their teachings.
Mrs. Han pursed her lips.
Yun Qi didn’t know what to say.
He had no right to speak.
Yet, he gave Yun Jinnian a small name written on paper, placed it in a brocade pouch, and handed it to her.
Yun Jinnian did not open it; her small name was not to be disclosed lightly.
"The ceremony is complete!"
Yun Qi and Mrs. Han stood up, "Thank you all for attending my daughter’s coming of age ceremony today, the banquet is prepared, please join us!"
Though the coming of age ceremony was elaborate and heavy, Yun Jinnian’s heart was secretly joyful.
In her past life, she was all alone, without a coming of age ceremony, without so many gifts, without friends and family.
In this life, her parents and friends were all here, and the person she loved was also here.
And fortunately, the person she loved also loved her, truly wonderful!
"Congratulations, sister, on your coming of age!" Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingzhi sincerely congratulated her.
Yun Jinnian responded with a smile.
"Cousin, congratulations to you!" Xu Xinmo said absentmindedly.
Always feeling something was going to happen.
Yun Jinnian smiled slightly, "Thank you!"
Not intending to say more, Yun Jinnian suddenly asked, "Xinmo, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look well?"
