Chapter 63: Mom Really Trusts Dad
Oh my god…
How could such a dirty thing happen in the palace?
Yun Wanyao's heart trembled violently, and she looked at the little guy beside Yun Wanning with sympathy.
That King Jing, secretly keeping a mistress would be fine, but in order to make his mistress and illegitimate son legitimate, he actually did such a cruel thing to the princess?
He is such a cruel and ruthless beast, worse than pigs and dogs, with absolutely no humanity at all.
Thinking that in a while, Princess Jing would be harmed by the person she loved most, Yun Wanyao pursed her lips. She felt so choked up in pain that she could hardly breathe.
Why are all men in the world so heartless? Why do they wantonly hurt the women who bear children for them, take care of the house, and take care of their parents and elders?
"Yao'er, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
When the birthday banquet was almost over, Madam Yun finished chatting with Princess Jing and came out from the inner room. She saw Yun Wanyao's face was pale without a trace of blood.
Madam Yun frowned and couldn't help but speak out in worry.
"I'm fine mom, don't worry, I'm just a little tired, maybe I didn't get enough rest last night."
Yun Wanyao quickly came back to her senses, forced herself to shake her head, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Princess Jing with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Noticing her expression, Mo Yunhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Madam Yun and Princess Jing did not notice her abnormality.
After hearing her words, Madam Yun was relieved and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're fine. The birthday banquet is about to end, so just hold on for a while, and you can rest after you get on the carriage."
"good."
The birthday party ended in the afternoon.
Apart from some gossip among the ladies at the beginning, everything was generally peaceful, and the measures that Yun Zheng had prepared in advance were never used.
At the palace gate, Prince Jing and Princess Jing personally saw the guests off.
"Mrs. Yun, you said that we should have closer contact in the future, so don't go back on your word."
Although the marriage did not take place, Princess Jing still kept him in mind.
The daughter of the Yun family must be the best. She must fight for an opportunity for her Han'er to get the upper hand, so as to avoid being snatched away by boys from other families.
As for feelings, it’s best to cultivate them from childhood.
Fortunately, Yun Wanning fell asleep and did not hear this, otherwise, who knows how active her mind would have been.
"No, no, as long as the princess doesn't mind, you can come to me anytime."
"I feel relieved when you say that."
"Well, it's getting late, so let's go back first. The palace has just finished holding a birthday banquet, so I'm sure there will be a lot of things to do. Princess, you should go back and get busy."
"Okay, be safe on the road."
"Yeah, okay."
When the Yun family returned, it was already dark.
Yun Wanning slept all the way and did not wake up after Yun Zheng carried her to the room.
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
Glancing at Yun Wanning who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Yun Wanyao grabbed Madam Yun's sleeve and spoke with a look of deep concern on her face.
Mrs. Yun pulled the quilt over Yun Wanning and covered her with it, then turned around and looked at her seriously.
"Is it about the princess?"
"Um."
Yun Wanyao was not surprised to be guessed correctly and nodded slightly in response.
"Well, let's go out and talk."
Madam Yun looked at Yun Wanning again, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, turned around and walked towards the outer room. Yun Wanyao hurriedly followed.
After sending away all the servants, Madam Yun said softly, "You have been following Xiao Si, but when I was talking to the princess, did Xiao Si mention the princess' plot?"
"Um."
Yun Wanyao nodded heavily and told Madam Yun everything that Yun Wanning had thought: that Prince Jing had a mistress and an illegitimate child, and that in order to establish the mistress as the legal wife, he schemed to cause the princess to lose her virginity and force her to commit suicide.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yun was furious.
"What a great King Jing! He seems to be humble and polite, but I didn't expect that he is a beast in human clothing, capable of doing such a shameless thing. It's a pity that the princess was virtuous and abided by the rules of being a woman, but ended up like this..."
"Yao'er, go call your father."
Yun Wanyao did not leave immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Mother, people outside say that Prince Jing and Princess are in perfect harmony and have a deep love for each other, but who would have thought that he would do such a thing? It's easy to judge a person by his appearance, but not by his heart. Do you really trust father so much? Aren't you afraid that father will..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was obvious.
Mrs. Yun was stunned by what was said. After a moment, she laughed helplessly.
"Of course I trust your father. Besides, even if your father really treated me like this, I would not have any complaints. Without him, I would have died on the road of exile, and there would be no you."
"My life belongs to your father. If he really wants it, I will give it to him willingly."
Many years ago, her father committed a crime and his family was confiscated and he was exiled. The Lin family also came to cancel the engagement. On the way to exile, she was surrounded by bandits and had little food and clothing. That period was the most desperate and painful time in her life.
It was his appearance that pulled her back to the world from hell.
With that face and in that background, if he hadn't protected her all the way, she would have died countless times.
Yun Wanyao: “…”
Well, she shouldn't doubt her mother's trust in her father.
"I understand, mother. I'll go call father right away."
"I am coming."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a tall and strong figure appeared at the door.
Yun Zheng raised his leg and strode forward.
Yun Wanyao was panicking. It seemed that her father had been outside the door for a long time. She didn't know how much he had heard. She wondered if he would mistakenly think that she was deliberately provoking her mother.
The more she thought about it, the more unsure she became. She lowered her head and cried out guiltily.
"Dad~"
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Yun Zheng glanced at her and spoke without any emotion.
"Oh, okay, goodbye, Mom and Dad~"
Yun Wanyao was as if she had been pardoned. She left in a hurry after saying a few words, and did not forget to close the door for them after she left.
"Just come in if you're here. Why are you standing outside eavesdropping on our conversation? Look how scared Yao'er is."
Madam Yun looked up and complained dissatisfiedly, but Yun Zheng snorted indifferently.
"Humph, who told her to badmouth her father behind his back all day long? Go out and ask around to see if there's any other daughter who badmouths her father in front of her own mother like her?"
"It's good that I didn't beat her up."
If it were those two brothers, he would kick their butts to pieces.
Madam Yun: “…”
"Did you hear about the princess?"
"What does the princess's affairs have to do with me? I would like to ask Madam, did you agree to marry me because you loved me, or because you wanted to repay me?"
"Do you really trust me now? Or is it really like what Madam said, that I saved his life, so everything doesn't matter?"
Madam Yun: “…”
She looked at the man in front of her who was in a low mood, as if he had suffered some great injustice, and she was speechless.
He already has four children, how could he ask these questions?
No matter how speechless you are, you still have to comfort those who need to be comforted, otherwise, he will really be angry to death because of those unfounded things.
Madam Yun took a step forward and took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and whispering softly while pinching his lips.
"My dear husband, I married you out of love and gratitude."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"My husband has given so much for me along the way and has taken such good care of me that even in that bitter and cold place, I have never suffered the slightest bit."
"I'm not the kind of person who is ungrateful and ungrateful. How could I not know how good my husband is? How could I not remember my husband's kindness?"
"But repaying a favor is not in conflict with love."
"How high-spirited was my husband when he was young? There's a saying, 'He has fought in battles over three thousand miles, and once fended off a million troops with his sword.'"
"My husband is handsome and brave. Which girl wouldn't love a heroic young man? My husband has always been a hero in my heart. Of course I love him."
Yun Zheng was very pleased with what he heard. His gloomy mood instantly improved. He stretched out his big hands and tightly clasped Madam Yun's slender waist, but his words were still harsh.
"Humph, I remember that Madam said that even if all the men in the world died, she would not like a scoundrel like me, so she told me to give up as soon as possible and stop thinking about you."
Madam Yun: “…”
This is all old news, how could he still remember it so clearly? "I was wrong, my husband. If I had known that I would love you so much now, I would never have said those words. I would have rushed into your arms when I first met you."
"Yeah?"
"Yes."
"It's not too late now. Madam can throw herself into my arms now."
Madam Yun: “…”
A night of fun.
The next day, Mrs. Yun woke up in the afternoon and felt like her body was about to fall apart.
Yun Wanning was taken to her wet nurse last night. After waking up, she ate and drank well, but no one took her to Wan'an Garden for a long time. She knew that the battle between her parents last night must have been quite intense.
[Looking at the sun, it's probably past eleven now, mom hasn't gotten up yet? ]
[Well, seeing my parents loving each other so much, I should be relieved. ]
[However, indulging in sex is harmful to the body. Dad and mom should exercise some restraint. Also, I felt mom's pulse a few days ago and found that she was not taking contraceptive pills. Could it be that mom still wants to give me a brother or sister? ]
[If you want to have another baby, I will definitely support you. But you just gave birth to me and your energy has not recovered yet. If you get pregnant again, it might hurt your body.]
【……】
As soon as she stepped into the room, Yun Wanyao heard these words and her face turned red instantly.
She hadn't even reached marriage age yet and was still a virgin. When she suddenly heard about this, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
No, no, I can’t let my little sister think about it any further, otherwise, I don’t know what she will continue to think.
"Little sister, sister is here to see you."
After calming down, Yun Wanyao walked over with a faint smile on her face.
"babble……"
【My sister is here. 】
【Good afternoon, sister.】
Yun Wanning tilted her head and looked at Yun Wanyao, stretched out her hand towards her, and looked extremely happy.
She felt that compared to the nanny and Sister Xiaotao, her sister and mother understood her thoughts better, and they could occasionally chat with her to relieve her boredom and pass the boring days.
"Good afternoon~"
Yun Wanyao almost blurted out the words, but luckily she reacted in time and swallowed the words.
She strode to the couch and picked up Yun Wanning.
"I have nothing to do, so I came to accompany my little sister. Have you eaten enough?"
[I'm full. From this morning till now, the nanny has fed me three times. She is very gentle and considerate. By the time she leaves, I should be able to speak, right? ]
[When that happens, I will give the thickest gold bracelet to my nanny.]
Yun Wanyao: “…”
The little money-grubber was actually willing to give someone a gold bracelet?
It seems that my little sister really likes the wet nurse.
"Do you like being outside, little sister? In a few days, it will be the Winter Banquet. It will be very lively then. All the unmarried young men and young ladies of the nobles in the capital will attend."
"The Winter Banquet was held once a year by the late Queen Mother. It has been held more than 20 times so far. Although the late Queen Mother has passed away, this festival has been passed down..."
Yun Wanyao talked eloquently and tirelessly introduced to Yun Wanning the origin of the Winter Banquet and various details involved.
When talking about the winter banquet, she also mentioned a few interesting things, which made Yun Wanning particularly fascinated.
"Little sister, do you still remember Sister Atang? Sister Atang is the most talented woman in our Dawu country. She earned this title at the Winter Banquet."
"Back then, Sister Atang's poem 'Ode to Rivers and Mountains' shocked everyone, and the late emperor personally praised her as the most talented woman."
"The year Sister Atang won the title of the most talented woman, she defeated many women in the capital. The most impressive one among them was Su Qianxue, the eldest daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion."
"Su Qianxue was not convinced by Sister Atang, so she said that a talented woman should not only write poetry and songs, but also play the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. She wanted to compete with Sister Atang in playing the zither."
"But who would have thought that the music she thought was so good would sound so disorganized to everyone else. It was like a devil's music that went through their heads. It was irritating and had no merit at all."
"Su Qianxue was therefore ridiculed by all the talented men in Beijing as the most incompetent daughter of the Great Wu Kingdom..."
Listening to Yun Wanyao's words, many plots emerged in Yun Wanning's mind.
[This is mentioned in the plot. Madam Su doted on Su Qianxue excessively and made her ignorant and incompetent. She knew nothing about poetry, songs, and calligraphy, and she had no idea about playing the piano, chess, or painting.]
[Mrs. Su thinks her daughter is good in every way. Even if Su Qianxue poops, Mrs. Su still praises her in various ways.]
[As time went on, Su Qianxue really thought that she had amazing talent and was a rare talent.]
[That's why, during the winter banquet, he proposed to compete with Jiang Zitang in playing the zither without knowing his own limitations. However, he didn't expect that he would completely expose his own incompetence and bring shame to the Taiwei Mansion.]
[From then on, the words "idiot" and "fool" stuck to Su Qianxue like a maggot on the tarsal bone, becoming her label, and everyone used it to ridicule her.]
[After the heroine traveled through time, she could not accept Su Qianxue's previous personality, so she was determined to slap the faces of those who had laughed at the original owner at the Winter Banquet.]
[She wants everyone in Dawu to open their eyes and see what a talented woman is.]
[At the winter banquet, she dressed up carefully and blinded everyone at the banquet with her stunning beauty. Then...]
