Chapter 59: Why Didn’t You Let Her Die?

Yun Yuanfeng glanced at Yun Xi’s vintage long dress with the slanted collar. It was starkly different from the fas.h.i.+onable clothes that Yun Ziling and Yun Chuhan wore.

The tender, light yellow color was crisp and bright. An elbow-length, tulle, vintage, Chinese-style dress with frog b.u.t.tons was paired with a long, white skirt.

The exquisite, Chinese-style tailoring preserved the natural and fluid lines, so it was vintage yet very charming.

The single color wasn’t embellished with any patterns, so it was elegant and flowy.

Paired with her obedient and bare face, she appeared quiet with a sense of calm demure.

When Yun Yuanfeng looked at her, he realized that the eldest daughter he’d never paid any attention to had somehow developed the elegance of an heiress from an esteemed family.

However, her clothing didn’t look like the brand name clothes that all the modern girls liked to wear. Having just returned from the countryside, she could slowly learn about fas.h.i.+on if she didn’t yet understand it.

After all, she had two younger sisters at home who understood fas.h.i.+on.

Yun Yuanfeng had always cared about his face and had hoped she would climb up the social ladder, so such provisions were also essential.

“Ziling, don’t you have some new clothes that you’ve never worn before? Have your sister try them on. I don’t want the Chens to think that our family is not being good to your sister.”

“What?!” Yun Ziling’s face instantly turned red when she heard this.

“Why should I? Doesn’t she know how to go buy her own clothes to wear?! Why does she need to wear mine?”

She had begged her mom for a long time before she’d finally bought those two brand name dresses for her, which were 1,000 RMB each!

She’d been saving them to wear when school started and at her birthday party, but her dad actually wanted her to let this wretched girl wear them?! Why should she!

“Why should you? She’s your sister!”

“As if I want this star of death as my sister! She’s stealing my things as soon as she comes home! She’d be better off staying in the countryside and never coming back!”

“You need to shut your mouth!” With a slam, Yun Yuanfeng slapped the chopsticks hard onto the dining table.

Yun Ziling’s immaturity completely enraged Yun Yuanfeng.

Liang Xiuqin couldn’t stand seeing Yun Ziling suffering, so she grabbed her husband. “What are you doing? You’ve scared our child! Don’t you know that her heart is weak?! What if you scared her into getting sick again?”

Yun Ziling heard her mom mention it, so she immediately cooperated by pretending to be aggrieved and weak.

Yun Xi glanced at Yun Ziling, then looked at the disdainful looking Yun Chuhan. It appeared that the two sisters didn’t get along that well either.

Very good. This would save her some efforts.

“She’s been spoiled rotten by you and acts like a little princess! Why can’t you give your things to your own sister?! If she marries into the Jiang family in the future, you may even need to rely on her to help you out!”

Yun Chuhan curled her lips into a sneer as she coolly watched the drama.

As Yun Zilign’s younger sister who’d lived with her for over ten years, she had also yet to see Yun Ziling give anything to her. Yun Chuhan felt fortunate enough that her things hadn’t been stolen away instead!

Under the table, Yun Ziling balled her hands into tight fists and cast a poisonous glare at Yun Xi. She bit her lip hard.

“Who even wants her help?! It’s not like I can’t get married myself!”

Yun Ziling felt especially aggravated whenever her heart condition was mentioned.

It was because of this illness that her dreams of marrying into a wealthy family were mostly extinguished. No wealthy family would accept a daughter-in-law with a heart condition. If she were to pa.s.s the hereditary condition to the child or had difficulty giving birth, even her own survival would be doubtful!

Wealthy families valued male heirs over anything else. If she couldn’t fulfill this task, then she wouldn’t be able to cross into the family’s threshold at all!

Yun Ziling became more frightened at the thought of this and also grew more aggrieved!

Her future path was completely hazy.

It was already unlikely she could claim the marriage into the Jiang family since Yun Xi wouldn’t give the marriage up for her!

The beautiful dream her mom had once crafted for her, her beautiful dream of marrying into a wealthy family, her dream of rising up in status—all were extinguished thanks to Yun Xi’s return!

No! She didn’t want to die alone!

She needed to marry well and shove Yun Xi down!

She jerked her head up, her poisonous eyes directly pointing toward Yun Xi. With gritted teeth, her fingertips were pale, and she was so livid her entire body shook.

“It’s all her fault! She was the one to curse my brother to death, and she even cursed me into having his illness! Why did you have to give birth to her? Why didn’t you let her die?! Letting her stay is a curse! She’ll curse our entire family!”
