Chapter 458

After leaving Rongxi Hall, Yun Wan went directly to Jibai Residence and met Yun Xi.

Seeing Yunxi's lazy demeanor and lack of makeup, Yunwan sighed, "I really envy that my sister can relax like this."

Yunxi didn't understand why she said such a thing, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean by that, young mistress?"

"You don't know yet?"

Yun Wan looked up at her, took the teacup from Pearl's hand, and slowly took a sip before saying, "You know that the Marquis's mansion received the imperial decree last night, right, sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi instinctively sat up straight.

She had, of course, heard about it.

And I've always been very curious about what the imperial edict actually said.

Seeing her subconscious movement, a smile flashed in Yun Wan's eyes: "I came here today to talk to you about this imperial edict."

Yun Wan finally put down her teacup, sighed, and said, "I won't hide it from you anymore. The censors have jointly submitted a memorial, saying that the Crown Prince favors his concubine over his wife. His Majesty is furious and has ordered the Crown Prince to stay home and reflect on his actions. If this matter is not properly resolved, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's career will be in jeopardy..."

After she finished speaking, the color drained from Yunxi's face inch by inch.

Yunxi swayed, and Jixiang and Le'an quickly stepped forward to support her: "Auntie!"

Seeing this, a delighted smile flashed in Yun Wan's eyes.

That bitch, she's finally got what she deserves!

“Yesterday the Marquis was furious and wanted to send you to the estate outside the city. The young master refused and was even beaten by the Marquis for it. I’m afraid that you would be saddened if you saw him, which is why he didn’t come back last night.”

"Speaking of which, the young master is truly devoted to his sister, even at the cost of his own career, to protect her. This makes me, his wife, feel ashamed."

When Yun Wan said this, she seemed to be quite sincere.

Yunxi pursed her lips, her face still pale and bloodless.

She knew it, she knew something must have happened last night, but she never expected it to be such a big deal!

Yun Wan looked at her and suddenly sighed: "Sister, the young master treats you so well, surely you wouldn't just stand by and watch him be dragged down by you, would you? He has a bright future ahead of him, if he is dragged down by you, can you get over that?"

Yunxi closed her eyes.

Of course it won't pass...

After a long silence, Yunxi finally spoke: "Then... what should I do so that I won't implicate him?"

Hearing her words, Jixiang subconsciously tightened her grip on her hand.

Yun Wan sees Yun Xi as a thorn in her side!

If Yun Wan were to say something like "go to hell," judging from Yun Xi's current state, she was genuinely afraid that Yun Xi would take it seriously!

However, Yun Wan did not say such a thing.

She sighed deeply and said, "For now, I'm afraid the only option is for you to leave temporarily. As for the child..."

Yun Wan's gaze fell on her stomach, and Yun Xi subconsciously raised her hand to block her view.

"If you are willing to leave, I can protect you until the child is born. After that, the child will be registered in my name, and I will treat him as my own and raise him well."

Yun Wan spoke with utmost sincerity, and even Ji Xiang's expression wavered slightly.

But because of her words, Yunxi suddenly came to her senses.

Treat them as your own children and raise them well?

The bloody scene from her past life suddenly reappeared before Yunxi's eyes.

Yunxi swayed slightly, then suddenly closed her eyes in pain.

"ah!"

Le'an cried out in alarm, "Auntie, Auntie is bleeding!"
