Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 327
Seeing Yun Ruiyang's eyes widen slightly, Yun Wan gave a wry smile and said, "I won't hide it from you, cousin. My mother-in-law has confined me to my house, and I've only managed to sneak out now. I don't have much time, so I can only tell you the truth."
As she spoke, she grasped Yun Ruiyang's hand: "Cousin, I know how you feel, but we are cousins after all, and we can't get over this hurdle. Ning Shuang... she's my best friend, and now this has happened. Cousin, please do it for my sake, okay?"
“Cousin, I can’t bear to part with you either,” Yun Wan sighed. “You’ve been so good to me, I don’t want any other woman to take even a fraction of that away. But cousin, if you don’t help me this time, Ning Shuang might hate me. She’s my best friend…”
Yun Ruiyang's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Is it all for Yun Wan?
That's fine.
His eyelashes lowered, and he grasped Yun Wan's hand in return: "I promise you, I will marry her, and I won't share the good I've done for you with anyone else, is that alright?"
Yun Wan smiled through her tears: "Mmm!"
Having settled Yun Ruiyang's matter, Yun Wan traveled to the Yunnan Prince's Mansion in a discreet carriage.
The Changping Marquis's mansion was quite prestigious in Luoyang City, and upon hearing that his young mistress had arrived, Chen Qiang naturally came to greet her personally.
After welcoming her to the living room, Chen Qiang had tea and snacks served, and then got straight to the point and asked her why she had come.
Yun Wan didn't hide her purpose for coming: "I heard that the Huo family lost a daughter a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Huo family kept this matter a closely guarded secret, and Chen Qiang only dared to mention it once she returned to the capital and complained to her mother. Now that an outsider dared to bring it up so openly, Chen Qiang's expression immediately changed: "What's it to you?"
Yun Wan wasn't stupid; she naturally noticed the change in Chen Qiang's attitude and quickly said, "Princess Consort, please don't misunderstand. Actually... I might have a connection with the Huo family."
"You?" Chen Qiang looked her up and down. "Your child is lost too?"
Is there a reliable one in Luoyang City?
Why are children being lost in groups?
Yun Wan's expression turned ugly for a moment: "I... am not actually a biological child of the Yun family."
Chen Qiang frowned and looked her over again.
The Huo family lost their daughter more than a decade ago, and Yun Wan's age is indeed within that range.
However, judging from her appearance, she bears no resemblance whatsoever to Huo Feiguang and Zhong Jie.
In her opinion, even the girl sitting next to Yunwan at the banquet looked more like her.
"So you think you're the lost daughter of the Huo family?"
If I were to agree to that, it would seem rather shameless.
So Yun Wan curled the corners of her lips and said, "...It's not necessarily true. It's just that the Huo family lost a daughter, and I'm not a biological daughter of the Yun family, and our ages match...there's still a possibility, isn't there?"
Chen Qiang scoffed: "Our Huo family did lose a child, but how many children went missing in the same year? Does that mean they were all from our Huo family?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan's face immediately turned ugly: "Princess Consort, I am also a Princess Consort, and my father is the Minister of Revenue and a retainer of the Crown Prince. Do you think I'm here to freeload?"
Compared to her family background, Yun Wan considered herself to be only slightly inferior, far from being at the point where she had to go to their door to beg for money!
“I didn’t say that, but if you insist on thinking that way, there’s nothing I can do,” Chen Qiang stood up. “Alright, the banquet was just ruined, I won’t ask your Yun family for an explanation, and don’t come here looking for trouble. Show the guests out!”
After saying those words, Chen Qiang left, leaving Yun Wan alone in the hall, seething with anger.
It's ridiculous that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come knocking on our door and impersonate a daughter of the Huo family!
Chen Qiang did not intend to tell the King of Yunnan and his wife or Huo Shu about this matter.
Seeing that the servants had already stepped forward to drive her away, Yun Wan left in anger.
It doesn't matter that Chen Qiang is ungrateful, there's still that Young Master Huo!
The two of them are the ones connected by blood. They will naturally feel a connection when they meet, and she will still be a daughter of the Huo family!
Yun Wan rode in a carriage towards the Marquis's residence.
