Chapter 40 When did the prince change his nature and start to improve

Yun Wanchen lowered his eyes and took off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to her.

"From now on, if you have any problems, you can always bring this to the Ningguo Mansion to find me. No one will dare to stop you."

What? Su Qianyue raised her head, looking at the crescent moon pendant in astonishment, and then slowly looked at him.

Under the bright candlelight, the young man, who was as pure as snow, had eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as well as a face as white as jade, and there seemed to be some inexplicable tenderness in his eyes.

Was I dreaming? Her heart was pounding, and Su Qianyue stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

"Cang Yan."

Yun Wanchen called out lightly, and the young man in black behind him stepped forward, took the pendant from his hand, and handed it to Su Qianyue.

"Miss Su, this is a kind gesture from my heir, please accept it."

Although I don't know why the prince would want to protect this skinny bean sprout, but since it is the prince's decision, there must be a reason for it.

Su Qianyue took it and held it in her palm, suppressing the unbearable excitement in her heart, looked at him and said carefully, "Prince Yun, do you mean that I can come to see you in the future?"

"Um."

After getting a clear answer, Su Qianyue secretly pinched her thigh. Hiss, it hurts so much. It seems that she is not dreaming. But, how is this possible?

He actually gave her a token of his love and told her that she could come to see him in the future?

"Cang Yan, send Miss Su back home. Remember to be careful and don't alarm the Su family."

"yes."

Cang Yan stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Miss Su, please."

Su Qianyue looked at Yun Wanchen reluctantly and moved outside with difficulty.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. Yun Wanchen drooped his eyelids and turned the jade ring on his finger. After a long time, he smiled coldly.

When something happened to his legitimate daughter, he hurried back without even leaving a servant behind, and completely forgot about the concubine's daughter who he brought with him.

The Ningguo Mansion is in the west of the city, and the Taiwei Mansion is in the east of the city. The distance between the two places is a full forty miles. If a frail girl like that were to walk back, both of her legs would be broken.

Look at the girl's figure and clothes. The Su family is so ruthless!

An hour later, Cang Yan rushed back on horseback.

"What's going on? Has anyone from the Su family been alarmed?"

Cang Yan shook his head, "Don't worry, my lord. Miss Su lives in the side courtyard. Apart from two servants guarding the gate, she doesn't even have a guard. I can come and go as I please."

Miss Su lives in a remote place, and her room is even worse than the servants'. The window paper is tattered and it has been years since it was replaced. When the wind blows, it leaks everywhere. You can imagine how hard it is for her to live in winter.

You really don't know until you go there. Once you go there, you will be shocked. Even if you kill Cang Yan, you would never have thought that a concubine's daughter from a noble family in Haojing could live such a poor and difficult life.

Cang Yan told Yun Wanchen in detail what he had seen and heard.

"Tsk, Prince, that Su Jian is really a piece of shit. Even if Miss Su is a concubine, she is still his biological daughter. The Su family is not short of money, so why would they treat a concubine so harshly?"

Yun Wanchen had anticipated all this when he met Su Qianyue today, so he did not feel any emotion at this moment.

"I've heard that Madam Su is fierce, jealous, and overbearing. She didn't allow Su Jian to take a concubine. Su Jian had no way to deal with her. Even Su Qianyue was an accident. It was rare that she didn't kill Su Qianyue early. She just treated her harshly. Su Jian probably couldn't say anything."

Besides, she was just a concubine's daughter, not worth Su Jian turning against his wife.

"Send some food and money to Miss Su tomorrow night. Remember to tell her to hide it well and not let anyone find out."

Originally, Yun Wanchen wanted to ask for some quilts and clothes to keep warm, but then he changed his mind and gave up, as clothes and quilts are not easy to hide.

Madam Su probably can't bear to see Su Qianyue living a good life. If she were to find out that she was eating well and dressing well, she would probably accuse her of stealing and take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"Tsk, when did the prince change his nature and start to improve?"

Cang Yan stroked his chin and looked at the handsome man with a teasing look.

Although his son is as holy and gentle as the breeze and the bright moon in the eyes of outsiders, he is indeed not a kind-hearted person who is always kind-hearted.

If you say that he is attracted to that concubine's daughter, not to mention the huge difference in their social status, just the little girl is just a bean sprout that has not grown up yet. Even he doesn't like her. How could the prince, who has seen all kinds of beauties, be attracted to a bean sprout?

Yun Wanchen smiled faintly and didn't reply to him.

Is it repaired? It's better to say it's a repayment of gratitude.

*Taiwei Mansion.

After settling Su Qianxue down, Su Jian suddenly looked stunned.

"Madam, we seem to have forgotten Qianyue in the Ningguo Mansion."

Hearing this name, Mrs. Su's already ugly expression became even uglier, and she snorted coldly while holding her handkerchief.

"If she forgets, then forget it. What are you afraid of? Can the Yun family still eat her?"

"I've told you before, don't take that worthless loser out with you, lest you be laughed at. But you insisted on taking her with you, and now that loser is running around everywhere after leaving the house, and we can't even find her. Xue'er hasn't shown up since such a big incident happened."

It was unreasonable that even this could be blamed on Su Qianyue. Su Jian's face turned a little colder, but considering that she was in a bad mood due to such a thing, he patiently explained.

"She is the daughter of the Su family after all. If we just leave her in the Yun family, we will inevitably be laughed at by Yun Zheng."

"What's there to laugh at? Xue'er had this kind of thing happen to him today, and I haven't settled the score with him yet. How dare he laugh at us? Don't worry, he will definitely have someone send the money-loser back respectfully by dark at the latest."

"If you have the time, why don't you pay more attention to Xue'er? It's so cold, she must have been scared after falling into the lake. She can't speak until now. Woohoo, my poor Xue'er~"

As she spoke, Madam Su began to sob again, clutching her handkerchief. Su Jian felt a splitting headache from crying and wished he could run away immediately.

At night, Su Qianxue developed a high fever again.

The whole person was confused and listless due to the fever, and it took three days for the fever to gradually subside.

Mrs. Su stayed by her side day and night. She lost a lot of weight in just three days and looked much more haggard. Her eyes were bloodshot and frighteningly red. When she saw Su Qianxue waking up, she immediately perked up.

"Xue'er, you finally woke up. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you some food."

Su Qianxue stared at her, her brain working slowly. After a long time, she slowly remembered some things.

"Mother~"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his throat felt as if it had swallowed a razor blade, with a tearing pain, and his voice became hoarse.

She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but want to cry.

Su Qianxue's eyelashes trembled and tears flowed out.

"Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here. Xue'er, are you feeling unwell? Mother will ask someone to call a doctor right away~"

"Chunlan, go call the doctor!"

Calling for a doctor, bringing water and feeding, the maids and old women in the room were busy for most of the hour. Su Qianxue finally recovered and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the snow-blue bed curtains, her mind full of the scenes of the banquet that day.

The plot clearly states that Mo Zhaozhao will push the original owner into the lake at the heroine's sister's full moon banquet.

She was holding the script, waiting there early to set up the trap. She clearly saw Mo Zhaozhao walking towards her, but why did he suddenly disappear when passing a rockery?

Who is it?

Who took Mo Zhaozhao away and ruined the plot?

That person must have known about Mo Zhaozhao's actions and her plan, and that person must have hated her because of being close to Mo Zhaozhao, so he intercepted Mo Zhaozhao halfway and secretly attacked her.

But how did that person know her plan? Could it be that there are other book-traversers like her in this world? No, no, no, even if there are book-traversers like her, they should only know Mo Zhaozhao's actions and not her plan. What went wrong?

A hint of fear flashed across Su Qianxue's eyes, and a dense chill crept up her back, making her shudder all over.

She felt like she was living under someone else's surveillance, as if her every move could be seen through.

Terrible, so terrible! "Xue'er, how did you fall into the lake? Tell me the whole truth quickly. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will take care of it for you."

Seeing that she was in better condition, Madam Su grabbed her hand and asked impatiently. In fact, she just wanted to know whether Su Qianxue was pushed in by accident or by someone.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

If it's the former, it's fine, just bad luck for her, but if it's the latter, she'll probably just dig up the other party's ancestral grave.

He even dared to touch her daughter. He deserves to die.

"Woo, mother~"

Su Qianxue came to her senses, threw herself into Madam Su's arms, and cried out in grievance.

"Mom, I was standing by the lake looking at the scenery, and suddenly I saw the princess walking towards me. I was wondering if the princess wanted to cause trouble for me, after all, I had a few arguments with her, and she disappeared when she passed a rockery. Not long after, someone attacked my knee with a hidden weapon, and my knee seemed to be broken. I lost my balance and fell into the lake~"

"Did you see it carefully? Are you sure it's the princess?"

Madam Su was a little surprised. She never expected that Princess Huayang would be implicated.

"Yes, it's her. I see it clearly."

Su Qianxue came out of her arms, wiping her tears, and rolled up one of her trouser legs. Sure enough, her knee was bruised and swollen like a steamed bun.

"Look, mother, this is the knee that was hit by a hidden weapon. However, I didn't see the princess do it, and the princess probably doesn't have any internal strength. I suspect it was her secret guard or someone she knew who knocked me into the lake."

Seeing Su Qianxue's bruised knee, a surge of anger rushed to Mrs. Su's head. She stood up in rage, her teeth chattering.

"What a great Princess Huayang, she actually did such a cruel thing to my Xue'er behind my back, how hateful~"

"Xue'er, take a rest. I will go find your father and ask him to send someone to collect evidence. As long as we find evidence, I will definitely seek justice for you."

After saying this, Mrs. Su left angrily.

Looking at her back, Su Qianxue was inexplicably flustered. Should she not have mentioned the princess? She always felt that something bad was going to happen.

But soon, she shook her head to suppress her uneasiness.

Humph, it was the princess who bullied her first. Even if there is no evidence, it is certain that her falling into the lake is definitely related to the princess.

In the plot, the original owner was actually pushed into the lake by the princess, so her action could be regarded as a way to vent the original owner's anger.

After Madam Su went to find Su Jian, Su Jian sent someone to sneak into the Ningguo Mansion to investigate the matter. However, the subordinate was discovered by Lu Wu and Zhongli as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Ningguo Mansion.

One of them secretly kept an eye on the other, while the other went to report to Yun Zheng.

"Don't worry about it, let them check it out."

Yun Zheng waved his hands, looking calm.

It has been three days since Xiao Si's full-moon banquet. Yun Wanye has always been a clean man, so even if there were any clues left, they have long been cleared away. Even the dark windows in the corridor attic have been replaced with sealing panels, so there is no way anything could be found.

Since no evidence could be found, the matter was dropped after a while.

On the contrary, if they arrested them now, Su Jian would think that they were guilty and would not let go, which would be even more troublesome.

"But remember to keep a close eye on them and don't let them forge evidence."

If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. The only thing you're afraid of is that if Su Jian can't find any evidence, he'll make up some evidence himself.

"yes."

The Duke's Mansion is really bustling recently. The people from the Prince of Qi's Mansion haven't left yet, and the people from the Grand Marshal's Mansion are here again. Ha, this is really interesting. Yun Zheng's eyes moved, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

* Wan'an Court.

Madam Yun and Yun Wanyao were counting the gifts received at the full moon banquet.

The mother and daughter worked together seamlessly, one counting the items while the other kept the accounts.

On the beauty couch by the window, Yun Wanning drooled as she touched a few small things beside her.

[That's really nice. Uncle Seven and Big Brother are really nice. 】

[My uncle Seventh gave me an exquisite and small imperial green jadeite screen. The carving and appearance are simply amazing. I have never seen an imperial green with such high purity in my previous life. This small screen can definitely be exchanged for a large sea view villa in Haicheng, right? ]

[And my elder brother, he gave me a lot of mutton-fat jade hairpins, bracelets and jade pendants. ]

[She also made me a very large and thick necklace out of gold.]

[Wow, this collar weighs about half a pound, right? ]

[They also gave me a pair of anklets and a pure gold pillow. I estimate that this gold pillow weighs more than 10 kilograms. I love it so much~]

[When I can speak, I will sleep on a golden pillow every day. I am so happy just thinking about it.]

[No wonder people say that it is better to be born well than to work hard. Look at my birth. I won right at birth. I won at the starting line.]

[Alas, it would be even more perfect if my parents, uncles, brothers and sisters could all live long and smoothly. ]

【……】

"Wait mom, I read it wrong just now, don't remember it yet, I'll read it again, hahaha~"

Listening to her inner voice, Yun Wanyao tried to hold back but still couldn't help bursting out laughing. Who could tell her why her little sister's inner voice was so funny?

This caused her to be distracted for a moment and even read the thing in her hand incorrectly. Fortunately, she discovered it in time.

Mrs. Yun had long been accustomed to Yun Wanning's messy thoughts every day. She shook her head, changed to a cinnabar pen, and crossed out the column of words she had previously remembered.

[Hmm? What's wrong with my sister? ]

【Why are you laughing so happily? 】

[Have you thought of something interesting? Can you share it with me? I'm so bored. ]
