Chapter 280 The Amnesiac Miss
"My older brother's new house? I have an older brother?"

Yun Xi asked curiously.

A-Tian nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes! Don't you remember, Miss?"

Yunxi shook her head and continued, under the maid's somewhat worried gaze:

"A-Tian, ​​tell me about my brother and his new wife."

"it is good."

A-Tian nodded in agreement, and then began to explain in detail.

Yunxi's eldest brother was a typical scholar, devoted to studying the classics and oblivious to the world around him. After passing the county-level imperial examination, he planned to continue his studies and participate in the autumn imperial examination three years later, hoping to pass the provincial-level examination and bring glory to the family.

Yunxi's parents were very supportive of their son's studies and naturally provided him with all their support. However, his father did not want his son to become a bookworm, so he suggested that his son travel and study for a year so that he could see the beautiful landscapes and understand the real hardships of ordinary people, rather than just learning about the dynasty from books.

Yunxi's eldest brother thought his father's suggestion was excellent, so he invited two other scholars who had passed the imperial examination at the same time, packed their bags, left home, and began their year-long study tour.

Yunxi's family was fairly well-off; they weren't extremely wealthy, but they could easily afford to send their son to school. So, after sending their son away, the couple turned their attention to their daughter, as she had come of age and it was time to consider her marriage.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi interrupted:
"A-Tian, ​​although I have come of age, my elder brother is not yet married. As his younger sister, it is not right for me to get married before him, is it?"

Upon hearing this, A-tian's eyes lit up and she said:

“Miss, do you remember? You said the exact same thing before.”

Yunxi rested her chin on her hand and said:
“A-Tian, ​​although your young lady has forgotten some things, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid. That’s common sense.”

"Hehe! Yeah!"

A-Tian scratched his cheek, chuckled, and continued:

"That's what Miss replied to Master and Madam at the time. Madam said she would help you choose first, and you could get engaged first. Then, after the young master gets married, we can send Miss off. Otherwise, all the good young men will have been chosen by then."

"Hmm, I understand. And then what?"

"The young lady hasn't chosen a husband yet, but the young master has already brought a young lady back."

"Is she my current sister-in-law?"

"Yes."

"Isn't marriage always arranged by parents and matchmakers? How could you bring him back in private, elder brother?"

"Well, that's a long story."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, get to the point."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ah-tian immediately agreed crisply, and then explained the reason.

It turns out that when Yunxi's eldest brother was traveling and studying away from home, he was robbed by bandits on the way. Because the three of them were disguised as poor scholars, the bandits didn't steal any silver from them, but instead took them directly to their stronghold.

The bandit leader wanted the three men to teach the village children to read and write, which saved their lives. However, staying in the bandit's den for long was not a good idea, so the three men plotted to escape.

All three were clever men. Taking advantage of their teaching position, they extracted the safe route down the mountain from the children. They even scouted the route separately to confirm its authenticity and the possibility of escaping the mountain stronghold safely. After confirming this, the three lay low and waited for their opportunity. A month later, their chance finally arrived.

On a clear, sunny day, a group of bandits abducted a wedding procession from the foot of the mountain. They not only kidnapped the bride but also stole her dowry.

The bandit leader was overjoyed to see the beautiful bride and decided to make her his wife. He ordered the bandits to make preparations, which gave the three of them an opportunity to escape.

Yunxi's elder brother saw the young lady's profile and was immediately captivated by her beauty. He wanted to save her, but his martial arts skills were too low. In the end, the three of them decided to sneak down the mountain during the wedding celebration in the village and then report to the authorities.

All three were scholars, so the county government took them seriously and immediately mobilized its yamen runners and borrowed soldiers from the city to sneak up on the mountain stronghold according to the route provided by the three.

At that time, the bandit leader had already forced the young lady to complete the wedding ceremony and was about to consummate the marriage with the bride. The young lady was also a fierce woman. Taking advantage of the bandit leader's relaxed vigilance, she stabbed him to death with her hairpin.

At this moment, the soldiers and yamen runners rushed into the mountain stronghold and rescued the young lady and her attendants.

The matter should have ended there; the three of them retrieved their books and prepared to continue their study tour. However, by sheer coincidence, they witnessed the young woman, dressed in a wedding gown, jumping into the river and committing suicide.

Without thinking, Yunxi's brother jumped into the river and rescued her. To save the drowning young lady, he even gave her air.

After rescuing the woman, the three learned that the woman's husband's family disliked her for spending a day and a night in the bandit's den and refused to marry her on the grounds that she had lost her chastity. The man then married her younger sister instead. Her family also considered her a stain on the family and wanted to send her to a temple for purification, which was a way of kicking her out of the family.

Unable to bear the gossip, the young woman impulsively jumped into the river, but fortunately, these three people found her and saved her life.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's elder brother impulsively declared that he wanted to marry the young lady. His two friends initially tried to stop him, but seeing that the young lady was about to jump into the river again, they didn't say anything more.

And so Yunxi's study tour ended halfway through, and he brought this young lady back to get married.

Although this young lady had a stain on her record, Yunxi's older brother liked her, and their parents couldn't bear to separate the two, so they arranged for them to get married.

After getting married, Yunxi's older brother stayed at home to study, and his new sister-in-law took meticulous care of him. The two were very happy during their honeymoon.

However, Yunxi's relationship with this sister-in-law was just so-so, as if there was always something between them. In Atian's words, the young lady didn't like this new sister-in-law, and the young mistress was also indifferent to Yunxi, her sister-in-law.

"Three nights ago, for some unknown reason, Miss ran out of her room and started shouting that the young mistress was a monster. She even rushed into the young master's bridal chamber and started fighting with the young mistress. When A-Tian ran over, she saw that the young master had knocked Miss unconscious."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi narrowed her eyes dangerously and said:
"A-Tian, ​​are you sure you didn't see wrong? It was my older brother who knocked me unconscious?"

A-Tian immediately nodded vigorously, saying:

“A-Tian swears on his head that it was the young master who knocked you unconscious.”

"What is my dear sister-in-law doing?"

A-Tian scratched her face and said:
"Miss, you scratched the young mistress's face. She was crying with her hair all messed up!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi felt her mammary glands were much clearer. Although she had been knocked unconscious, the other party hadn't gotten away with it either.

"Then why did Mother say I fainted in the porch?"

"Miss, Master and Madam said that family scandals should not be aired in public. It's not a good thing for sisters-in-law to fight, especially since it was the young master who injured you. This is also bad for his reputation, and he still has to participate in the autumn imperial examination."

A-Tian's voice grew softer and softer under Yun Xi's gaze, until it finally fell silent.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Yunxi threw off the covers and jumped out of bed, instructing the startled A-Tian:

"Help me change my clothes!"
