Chapter 636: Things outside the body
As night fell, General Lin's face looked particularly solemn in the dim candlelight. He patted Yun Xi's hand gently, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor, "Child, come and sit next to me. Grandpa has something to say to you." Yun Xi obediently walked aside and sat down, her eyes full of confusion and worry, quietly waiting for grandpa to speak.

General Lin slowly stood up, walked to the old cabinet with a staggering step, took out a delicate little box, returned to Yun Xi, and carefully opened it. "This is the will left by your mother-in-law," he said in a low and solemn voice, "She divided all the property under her name into eight parts. Your five brothers each got one part, your eldest uncle and second uncle each got one part, and the remaining one was specially left for you." As he spoke, General Lin handed over a list, which was a detailed record of Yun Xi's share.

Yun Xi took the paper, and the tears that had just stopped burst out again, "No, I don't want these... What's the point of giving her more gold, silver and treasures? What she really needs is the company of her family and warm care.

Now, the person she cares about most is about to leave her, what meaning do these worldly possessions have for her?" She burst into tears and refused to accept this heavy legacy.

General Lin sighed, his eyes full of love and helplessness, "My child, this is your mother-in-law's last love for you. Although she is no longer able to plan for your future, she still hopes to leave you some security. You accept this gift, which is the best way to repay her."

Yun Xi's heart was deeply touched. She reached out her hand and took the list with trembling hands.

The old general sighed again and said softly: "Don't see me off, she and I are leaving soon. We will be waiting for you in the manor. If you miss us, you can come to us anytime." After that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked into the night.

Yun Xi lay on the table, letting her tears flow freely.

Her heart was filled with endless sadness and reluctance, as if the whole world had lost its color.

At this time, Aunt Qingyang came in. She gently stroked Yunxi's back and choked up, saying, "There will always be a day like this in life. Don't be too sad. You have to live on strongly. This is the best consolation for your grandmother."

Yun Xi raised her head and looked at Aunt Qingyang with tears in her eyes, "I am willing to let go of all my hatred and obsession, and just hope that she can live well. But now, she is leaving me..." Her voice was full of despair and helplessness.

Aunt Qingyang looked at her with pity, "Don't be like this, child. If you are so sad, your mother in heaven will not be at peace." She tried to comfort Yun Xi, but she knew that no words could heal the pain in her heart.

When General Lin and the old lady left, Yun Xi hid in the archway behind the courtyard, tears blurring her vision. She watched the familiar figure walk away, her heart filled with endless sadness and reluctance.

After the old lady left, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law called Yun Xi into the room.

They sat down, and the eldest daughter-in-law said earnestly: "Your grandfather has already told you about the property that the old lady left to you. You don't have to worry about your brothers missing out on anything, they all have their own share.

What you get is the shop on Xinyang Street, which is one of the best locations in Kyoto.

Your mother-in-law hopes that you can live a carefree life, and even if you encounter any difficulties in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, you will have enough confidence to face them."

The second daughter-in-law also added: "Although our Lin family is a martial arts family, doing business is also a science. The assets your mother-in-law left for you are not only your wealth guarantee, but also her expectations for your future. She hopes that you will not be bullied in the mansion and can live freely."

Yun Xi felt mixed emotions as she listened to their words.

She knew that her mother-in-law had given so much to her, but she could not repay him. She held the list tightly, and every word on it was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

Thinking about everything her mother-in-law had done for her, Yun Xi's tears rolled down her cheeks again.

In Wu'an Marquis's mansion, Yi Han returned to the mansion before dinner. He was concerned about Yun Xi's safety and mood, especially when he learned that she did not come back for dinner today.
