After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 34 The Initial Decision

When Yuan Yutong hurriedly returned to the mansion, she was shocked to see such a chaotic scene.

After pulling aside a servant to inquire about the details, Yuan Yutong learned that her elder brother, Yuan Zhirong, was seriously injured, with damage to his eyes, shoulder, and knee. He had not yet been properly treated and was still unconscious. Yuan Yutong frowned, finding it hard to believe.

She genuinely had no idea how things had turned out this way.

Falling off a horse and being dragged for a distance, the injuries must have been quite severe!

However, based on Yuan Yutong's understanding of her older brother Yuan Zhirong, he had always been very skilled in martial arts. How could he have suddenly had an accident while practicing martial arts on horseback? And this time it was such a serious accident?

Recently, Yuan Zhirong, the eldest brother, has been training at the training ground in the manor. Yuan Yutong has gone to see him. Yuan Zhirong is really good at it, especially his strength. This makes it easy for him to perform many movements. He has no problem riding a horse, fighting, and killing enemies.

With her brother's incredible skills, it's hard for Yuan Yutong to believe that he would suffer such a serious accident during training, potentially crippling his career.

It's fair to say that Yuan Yutong felt the situation wasn't so simple after hearing all this news; perhaps someone had secretly tampered with her mount or something.

Yuan Yutong was quite familiar with these dirty tricks and immediately thought of many possibilities, but she didn't know who in the mansion would want to make a move against her elder brother, Yuan Zhirong.

This time, our eldest brother is going to the front lines to claim credit. Once he has enough credit, establishing himself will be no problem, and everyone in his household will benefit. No one would want to harm our eldest brother at such a time.

The more Yuan Yutong thought about these things, the more doubts she had.

However, her eldest brother, Yuan Zhirong, was still unconscious and had not woken up. Yuan Yutong did not know the specifics of the situation, nor what accident had happened that led to the deterioration of the situation.

Having learned about her elder brother Yuan Zhirong's current injuries from the servant, Yuan Yutong was extremely worried, fearing that her brother would be crippled and his future as a general would be ruined.

Before transmigrating into the book, Yuan Yutong had already read about these plot points and knew that her eldest brother, Yuan Zhirong, would be fine. Taking advantage of this opportunity to gain merit in battle, he rose through the ranks. His early development was very smooth, and he became someone that even the main branch of the Yuan family had to respect. The entire family devoted all its resources to cultivating him, enabling him to eventually become the Grand General of the State and the Duke of the State, allowing the entire Yuan family to benefit from his success!

However, after Lü Xinyan's marriage ended in death, his elder brother Yuan Zhirong was depressed for a while and his mind became somewhat confused. He died after falling off his horse while drunk.

The glory of the entire Yuan family began to fade after the eldest brother, Yuan Zhirong, had an accident, and they went downhill. The original owner of this body was also affected more.

Having transmigrated into the book, Yuan Yutong hopes that her eldest brother, Yuan Zhirong, will rise to high positions and avoid another tragic fall from a horse and death at the peak of his career. She wants him to continue to support the Yuan family and allow her to become the enviable young lady of the Duke's mansion!

Knowing that her elder brother's early development would be very smooth, Yuan Yutong had great confidence in him and didn't pay too much attention. She hoped to resolve those hidden troubles as soon as possible and not let them affect her elder brother's future or life.

But this time, his elder brother Yuan Zhirong had an accident ahead of time. He fell off his horse and was dragged along. He was seriously injured and might not even be able to go to the battlefield to collect credits. How could he then become the General Who Protects the Nation and the Duke Who Protects the Nation?

So what should she do with all her wealth and status?

The more Yuan Yutong thought about these things, the more panicked she became.

However, Yuan Yutong still felt that her brother's fall from the horse and injury had nothing to do with Lü Xinyan.

After all, once she was reborn, she started targeting the Lü family and Lü Xinyan, preventing Lü Xinyan from having any further contact with her eldest and second brothers. This should be able to protect her eldest brother, Yuan Zhirong, and the family's wealth and prosperity.

However, this accident still happened. Yuan Yutong was eager to know the truth and was also very concerned about her elder brother's recovery. She only hoped that the injury was not too serious and would not affect her elder brother's future development and the improvement of the family.

As Yuan Yutong hurried toward Yuan Zhirong's courtyard, she was still thinking about these things, her mind heavy with worries. She felt that the plot was about to spiral out of control, causing her to lose all the benefits that the plot's momentum brought her.

This made Yuan Yutong even more uneasy and resentful.

At this moment, seeing her daughter Yuan Yutong return, Tian Jiao'e was initially excited and wanted to talk to Yuan Yutong about some things and think of a solution together. However, Tian Jiao'e suddenly thought of a problem and stopped in her tracks.

It seems that since their biological daughter Yuan Yutong returned, the family has been experiencing a series of mishaps, and the situation has become very bad. Is this really a stroke of good fortune after a change of luck? Or was the timing of bringing their biological daughter back wrong?

Back then, she learned about her daughter Yuan Yutong's fate of dying young by believing the words of a wandering Taoist priest. That's why she plotted to switch daughters with the Lü family and raise Lü Xinyan in the Yuan family.

As for finding the Lü family, it was because the wandering Taoist priest pointed her to the right people, knowing that the Lü family would be able to change their fate and become rich and powerful because of the birth of their daughter, Lü Xinyan.

If she could simply transfer her daughter Yuan Yutong to the Lü family and have her raised by them, Yuan Yutong would be able to escape her fate of dying young, live a long life, and gain the favor of the Lü family, thus receiving their good fortune.

And because of Lü Xinyan, the fate of the Yuan family will be changed, and the entire family will rise to a higher level.

However, the old Taoist priest earnestly advised them that when the truth about her origins came to light, she should thank the Lü family properly, get along well with them, and continue to do good deeds so that her good fortune could last and bring even greater blessings to both the Yuan and Lü families.

At this moment, seeing her biological daughter Yuan Yutong return, and thinking about their attitude and actions towards the Lü family, as well as the series of changes that had recently occurred in the Yuan family, Tian Jiao'e couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She wondered if it was because they hadn't fully followed the instructions of that wandering Taoist priest that they were beginning to suffer retribution.

Her biological daughter, Yuan Yutong, was even more ruthless than her when she attacked the Lü family.

This change left Tian Jiao'e feeling somewhat confused.
