Chapter 22 When do you plan to turn the rumor into fact?

It turned out to be Shen Yu, whom I saw at the clinic on Anning Street today.

Yun Si was somewhat surprised that Shen Yu would come to Prince Xiao's residence.

This young lady of the Shen family appears kind and friendly on the surface, but deep down she is arrogant and self-important.

When she was little, she liked to compare herself with Yun Si, comparing family background, appearance, and intelligence, but unfortunately she couldn't beat her in any of them.

Therefore, she was always outwardly kind to Yun Si, but inwardly she harbored extreme hatred for her.

This hypocritical behavior remained a mystery until the incident at the Marquis's residence, after which Yun Si and Qin Ye divorced, and Yun Si finally discovered the truth.

When Yun Si was a child, she had poor interpersonal relationships. Part of the reason was that Yun Si was too outstanding and aroused jealousy. Another reason was that Shen Yu stirred up trouble and sowed discord among them.

Of course, the greatest credit belongs to Shen Qian.

As a result, Yun Si had no friends other than her Shen family.

When Yun Si divorced Qin Ye and was placed in the Shen family's villa by Shen Qian, Shen Yu's attitude towards her immediately turned cold. It was Shen Yu who gave her mother the idea to have someone ruin Yun Si's reputation.

Shen Yu said that only in this way could she completely cut off the possibility of her marrying Shen Qian, and also gamble away her path back to the Xiao Prince's Mansion.

No man would want a used woman who has been abused by a group of men.

These were all things that Yun Si's soul witnessed with Qin Ye after her death. Qin Ye forced them to write down all the things he had done to her, and after they repented, he would kill them all.

“A-Si”.

Shen Yu had been waiting here for a long time, her face full of impatience, but she couldn't get into the mansion. When she saw Yun Si return, she immediately put on a smiling face and walked towards Yun Si.

"Where did you go? Why are you only just getting back?"

"What's up?"

Shen Yu tried to take Yun Si's hand, but Yun Si avoided her.

Yun Si's gaze fell on her face, and after observing her condition, she basically determined that she should not have been infected by Shen Mu.

During the day, she must have been afraid of being recognized, which is why she covered her face with a veil.

This sudden visit must be part of some scheme he's up to.

"A-Si, are you blaming me for being too cold to you during that time?"

Shen Yu looked at her sadly, her expression forlorn.

“During that time, I was in a bad mood and encountered many troubles. As you know, I like Prince Jin, but Prince Jin knows that I was once Prince Lin’s fiancée, and he has always harbored resentment about it. He is unwilling to let me be even a concubine, but I can’t be his concubine…”

"so."

Yun Si interrupted her: "Why did you come to see me today?"

Shen Yu's expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"A-Si, I know you're angry with me. I apologize. I'm sorry. Please forgive me this once, for my brother's sake. Besides, we've been sisters since we were little..."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Yun Si's lips.

"If you're not going to tell me, then I'll have to leave you be."

"etc."

Seeing that Yun Si was really about to leave, Shen Yu's eyes flashed with anger. She quickly stopped her and told her the purpose of her trip.

"Here's the thing, my mother is ill. I heard that you recently learned some medical skills from someone, and you cured a poison that even Doctor Ji couldn't cure. So, I'd like to ask you to take a look at my mother's illness. Ah Si, you wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, would you?"

"oh?"

Yun Si looked at her calmly: "You're so well-informed, so who told you this?"

"Rumors are circulating outside that you and Prince Xiao never divorced, and that..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, King Xiao sleeps in the same room with you every day."

"..."

How could this news be so outrageous?

How could they not be divorced? She actually wished they weren't divorced.

However, how could Qin Ye allow such messy news to spread?

That's really strange.

"A-Si, my brother told me that you went back to the Xiao Prince's mansion to find evidence that the Xiao Prince framed the Marquis's family. Is that true?"

A hint of doubt lingered deep in Shen Yu's eyes.

“If it’s true, you can’t be with Prince Xiao… It’s not worth it, and my brother will be heartbroken too. Ah Si, listen to my advice, leave Prince Xiao’s mansion as soon as possible and go back to my brother’s side.”

A cold glint flashed in Yun Si's eyes, but she smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. I will consider it carefully. You should go back first. As for Madam Shen's illness, I can go and take a look, but I can't guarantee that I can cure her. Don't have too high hopes."

After saying that, she strode into the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Shen Yu wanted to say something, and followed Yun Si, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.

She could only watch helplessly as Yun Si walked away, stomping her feet in anger.

What's wrong with this bitch?

How dare they treat her like that!

A sinister glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes.

She had to find a way to drive Yun Si out of the Xiao Prince's mansion.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Yu left the Xiao Prince's residence and hadn't gone far when suddenly, a strange woman appeared from the side: "I know what you're thinking. I'm just like you. How about we cooperate?"

"Who are you……"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that the person you hate is also the person I hate. However, my strength alone is limited, and I cannot deal with her. What if we work together from the inside?"

"Oh?"

Shen Yu stared at the woman in front of her, not letting her guard down after a few words. She sneered, "You don't even dare to tell the truth about who you are. Such an insincere cooperation is not something my Shen family needs. Besides, I, Shen Yu, have the ability to make life difficult for people I hate. It's not your place to talk about cooperation."

"you!"

The stranger, hidden in the darkness, heard Shen Yu's words and a flash of anger crossed her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and said with a faint smile, "In that case, I wish Miss Shen good luck."

After saying that, she turned and left gracefully.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and added, "If Miss Shen ever regrets it, just tie a flower of any color to the willow tree in front of the mansion, and I will come to find you."

Shen Yu did not respond, but merely curled her lips in disdain.

It's just dealing with Yun Si, isn't it?

Once she leaves the Xiao Prince's Mansion, killing her will be as easy as killing an ant.

She'll have her brother tell her to leave the Xiao Prince's Mansion immediately, or she'll never be allowed to enter the Shen family again.

As Shen Yu walked away, Yun Si, who had been inside the mansion for half a day, suddenly appeared at the door.

The gatekeeper was startled when he saw this.

Where did Master Yun come from? Why is there no sound at all?

Yun Si stared at the spot where Shen Yu had just been standing and asked the gatekeeper, "Did you see clearly who she was talking to just now?"

The gatekeeper shook his head: "It was a bit far away, I couldn't see it clearly."

Their job was to guard the gate and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering. As for what happened outside the gate, that was not their concern.

Yun Si nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Actually, it's obvious who that scoundrel hiding in the shadows is, but unfortunately, Shen Yu has always been proud and aloof, so how could she possibly associate with a nobody of unknown origin?

In her eyes, that would only lower her status.

However, things may change in the future.

After all, when people are at their wits' end, they become desperate and will eat anything.

Yun Si turned around to go back, but unexpectedly, she bumped into someone's arms as soon as she turned around.

His chest was as hard as stone, and the impact made her dizzy.

"What...what are you doing standing in the middle of the road?"

Yun Si looked up and saw Qin Ye's expressionless face. She remembered that he had chosen to believe Lin Shuyan instead of her today, so she didn't want to talk to him.

"Don't block the way."

She tried to walk around Qin Ye, but he grabbed her wrist.

What are you doing?

Yun Si said irritably, "Let go."

Qin Ye actually obeyed and let go, but remained silent without saying a word.

This man, can't he say something? Can't he even offer an explanation?

Would it kill you to say something nice to comfort me?

Yun Si laughed in anger and turned to leave.

Before she had taken more than a few steps, Qin Ye suddenly caught up with her. Yun Si felt a tightness around her waist as Qin Ye lifted her up in his arms, her feet off the ground.

"Qin Ye, what are you doing?"

She struggled and pounded on his shoulders, but he only held her tighter.

"Put me down!"

Qin Ye carried her and strode towards Qiwu Garden, his voice low and suppressed: "I won't let go."

"you……"

Yun Si was furious, but when she saw his taut jawline, her heart softened for no reason.

Upon arriving at Qiwu Garden, Qin Ye kicked open the door and gently placed her on the bed.

Just as Yun Si was about to get up, he pinned her down by supporting her with his hands on either side.

Why are you angry?

He leaned closer, his hot breath spraying onto her face.

Oh.

You even know she's angry?

Yun Si turned her face away and coldly denied, "I'm not angry."

“Yun Si”.

Qin Ye's fingertips touched her lips, a dark, suppressed glint in his eyes: "Are you... are you jealous?"

"?!"

Yun Si looked somewhat uncomfortable, as if her secret had been exposed.

She turned her face away, stubbornly denying it, but her tone had softened considerably.

“Your Highness, this has nothing to do with jealousy. What makes me angry is that you trust other women but not me. I… I’m very sad.”

"This king..."

Qin Ye said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't disbelieve you."

"Then why are you siding with Lin Shuyan instead of me?"

"No."

"You have it."

"I just feel a little guilty towards her. Back then, she took care of my mother for three years. Before my mother passed away, she wanted me to marry her. At that time, I just didn't want my mother to die in peace, so I... agreed."

This was the first time Qin Ye had explained so much to Yun Si.

Yun Si listened quietly.

"So, in the end, I'm the one who wronged her, but I've already made it clear to her that I will recognize her as my sworn sister and find her a good husband in the future, so that she can leave the Xiao Prince's Mansion in style."

After Qin Ye finished explaining, he looked at her intently and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Yun Si sighed softly.

In his past life, he recognized Lin Shuyan as his adopted sister and married her off. In this life, he still thinks the same way.

But Lin Shuyan has changed.

Lin Shuyan is no longer the Lin Shuyan of her past life.

In this life, she would never obediently become his adopted sister.

However, Yun Si was still very happy.

The fact that Qin Ye was willing to explain these things to her meant that he was beginning to try to truly believe her.

"Your Highness."

Yun Si wrapped her arms around his neck, a faint blush spreading across her charming face: "There are rumors going around that we haven't divorced at all, and that we...sleep together every day. When are you planning to make this rumor a fact?"
