Chapter 28 Your brother, the prince, smiles gently at everyone

Yun Qingqing smiled mysteriously and whispered:

"When I slapped him, I secretly cast a truth spell on him. He couldn't lie for an hour."

Yan Jinghua suddenly understood and couldn't help but have a better understanding of her daughter's abilities.

She sighed faintly:

"You must have suffered a lot during the time when mom was sick."

Yun Qingqing thought of the original owner's experience and was speechless, feeling a little touched.

Others would only marvel at her changes, but Yan Jinghua was the only one who felt that she had to learn so many skills out of necessity, and her first reaction was to feel sorry for her.

She changed the subject, and after asking, she found out that Yan Jinghua had come all the way to inform her grandfather that she was going to marry the Regent, and hoped that all members of the Yan family would be present on the wedding day.

Here, Wu Yuan was taken away by the officers, and the guests dispersed, and several people returned to the inner hall.

Yan Yuzhu hugged Yan Jinghua and cried bitterly:

"I'm sorry, sister! It turns out you were wrongly accused of everything that happened before! It was all my fault. I actually believed that evil-minded person. I made you unable to return home and almost killed daddy... wuwuwu..."

Yan Jinghua patted her on the back and comforted her:

"It's all in the past. I hope our family will live in peace from now on... Okay, stop crying. You are an elder now, and Qingqing is still watching."

Yan Yuzhu then wiped away her tears, looked at Yun Qingqing somewhat embarrassedly, and became serious again.

"Clear your face...what happened?"

Yun Qingqing was burned after Yan Jinghua had a falling out with her family. She was in a coma for half a year afterwards. The villa that the Yan family bought in the suburbs of Beijing for peace and quiet was never clear until now, and we finally figured out what happened.

Yan Yuzhu was so angry that she slammed the table:

"Xiao Zirui is too much. He has been around Qingqing since they were young, and he was the one who begged for the marriage. But he rejected Qingqing just because her face was injured, and the injury was caused by saving him! He broke off the engagement so unkindly, but the emperor agreed! This royal family is really too much!"

"Be careful with your words!" Yan Hongshan said solemnly, "Never say such things at home again. Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall!"

Yan Yuzhu was unhappy, but didn't say anything more.

Yun Qingqing smiled slightly.

Although her aunt is an elder, she is actually only twenty-three years old this year. She is very well protected by her family and still has some girlish nature. She is very cute.

"Aunt, don't be angry. For someone like Xiao Zirui, breaking off the engagement is a good thing. It's better than marrying him and then finding out what kind of person he is, right?"

Yan Hongshan rubbed his eyebrows:

"Qingqing, what are you talking about? That's the prince..."

My granddaughter dares to say anything.

Yun Qingqing smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? When I marry into the Prince Regent's Mansion, Xiao Zirui will be my imperial nephew, and he will have to address me as imperial aunt when he sees me!"

Yan Hongshan and Yan Yuzhu: ???

Yan Jinghua also smiled:

"Qingqing is going to marry the Regent on the eighth of this month. I came here today to let you know. I want to invite daddy and sister to attend Qingqing's wedding."

The two of them were stunned for a while, and Yan Yuzhu clapped her hands:

"Great! Our Qingqing is still promising. Auntie will definitely be there to give you a big gift!"

Yan Hongshan also said happily:

"Great, great! The dowry that grandpa saved for you can finally be used! We must have a grand wedding!"

…

The two stayed at Yan's Villa for one night and rushed back the next day. Before leaving, Yun Qingqing left a few talismans for her grandfather to protect the house.

When I returned to the Yun Mansion, I saw many people coming and going, carrying boxes of things into the mansion. Those boxes were tied with bright red silk cloth.

Yun Qingqing remembered that this was probably the betrothal gift sent by the Prince's Mansion to Yun Bailian.

As expected, when they walked into the inner courtyard, they saw Old Man Yun and the second branch's family coming out to greet them. Xiao Zirui was wearing auspicious clothes and looked very dignified. He was smiling gently at Yun Bailian.

Yun Bailian's face was as red as an apple, her eyes were rippling, and it was obvious that she was in love.

Yun Qingqing curled her lips calmly and planned to go back to her own courtyard with her mother.

But when Yun Bailian saw her, her eyes immediately lit up, and she came up to her with a smile on her face and said:

"Sister, you're back. Look, the Crown Prince has sent so many betrothal gifts. They're no less than what the Regent sent. He's really sincere!"

Yun Qingqing didn't want to pay any attention to her, but since Bai Lian insisted on provoking her, she couldn't blame her for getting slapped in the face.

She walked over to the pile of boxes, glanced at them, and said with a smile:

"Indeed, the prince sent such a generous betrothal gift to marry you. I think your dowry should not be less than this, right? However, the money of the Yun Mansion has nothing to do with your second branch. I don't know what your father plans to give you as a dowry."

The faces of the second family members froze.

During the last settlement, all the assets that Yun Zhiping had saved up with great difficulty were taken away by Yun Qingqing using some unknown means, so he had no money left to prepare a dowry.

Yun Bailian's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Xiao Zirui:

"I'm sorry, my brother Crown Prince. My family can't afford such a large dowry. I'm afraid you will lose face during the wedding..."

Xiao Zirui's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile:

"Don't worry, sister Bai Lian. I will find a way to help you with the dowry. I will make sure you marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion with honor."

Yun Bailian smiled sweetly instantly:

"Brother Crown Prince, you are so good to me! You are so gentle and handsome when you smile. I am so happy to marry Brother Crown Prince Bai Lian!"

Most of the women Xiao Zirui had met before were reserved, so this was the first time he had been praised and confessed to so directly. Hearing these words spoken in Yun Bailian's sweet voice really made him feel very comforted.

His smile couldn't help but become a little gentler.

However, at this moment, Yun Qingqing's light voice broke the pink bubble between the two:

"When your prince brother begged to be engaged to me, he smiled so gently. When he vowed that he would never let Su Yurou down and would marry her, he smiled so gently."

Yun Bailian's face turned dark, but she couldn't refute because what Yun Qingqing said was true!

She suddenly felt uneasy. The prince could go back on his word once or twice, but who knows, there might be another time...

Xiao Zirui gritted his teeth in hatred:

"Yun Qingqing, you are going to marry the emperor's uncle, why are you still holding a grudge against me!"

Yun Qingqing smiled:

"Yes, I'm going to marry your uncle, so you should call me aunt! Forget it this time, but don't call me the wrong name next time."

After saying this, she left without any fuss, leaving behind Yun Bailian who was about to cry and the Crown Prince who was busy coaxing her, feeling inexplicably relieved.

…

Yun Qingqing went back to her room, changed her clothes, and left through the back door to go to the Regent's Palace.

When the palace guards saw that it was her, they quickly let her in and passed the message, but Nan Zheng arrived in time.

"Princess, please wait a moment. The prince is discussing matters with the ministers in the court."

Yun Qingqing nodded without thinking much about it.

However, just as she took a few steps inside, she suddenly heard a loud shout:

"Since ancient times, evil concubines have brought disaster to the country. Does the Regent really want to do it on his own?"
