At that time, she was firmly controlled by the two men.
Xu Jingye looked down on her and humiliated her with words countless times, but he did not reject her completely. He just kept her hanging half-dead.
Yan Shuyao acted as the so-called good person, always encouraging Yan Yunshu to persevere, telling Yan Yunshu that Xu Jingye had her in his heart, and asked her not to give up no matter what. She would help pass the message and help persuade Xu Jingye.
Therefore, she couldn't leave Xu Jingye and was even more dependent on Yan Shuyao.
Thinking about the tragic death in the previous life, it’s such a joke.
In this life, she would never believe it again. It was even more impossible for her to take the blame and accept punishment for Yan Shuyao.
"Your Highness, my sister was punished, and my father will come forward to deal with it. How could it be your turn?"
"Yan Yunshu! Think it over carefully. Don't push your luck! You are so shameless!" Xu Jingye said, waving his sleeves fiercely, and then stared viciously at the dark area on the left behind Xu Jinghuai.
Yan Yunshu was hiding there.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. I haven't said a word from beginning to end today, so how could you have angered Your Highness so much that you even insulted me and called me shameless?"
"Yan Yunshu, have you had enough of this? If you have, stop pretending. Don't think that your abnormal behavior can change the image of you in my heart! That's stupid!"
Yan Yunshu was almost laughing out of anger. She replied, "Your Highness, I am stupid and don't understand." I'm giving you face. If you were not a prince, I would have to treat you with courtesy and I would have kicked you out long ago.
"Yan Yunshu!" Xu Jingye, "Don't be so pretentious! This will only make me more disgusted!"
Yan Yunshu sneered, took a step forward, and walked out of the shadows. The snow outside the window reflected her peerless beauty. She had a cold aura and a plain complexion.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were not looking at Xu Jingye, but looking elsewhere.
"Your Highness, in that case, I will step aside first." After saying that, Yan Yunshu bowed and was about to walk out.
“Yan Yunshu!!” “Yunshu!”
Xu Jingye roared, and Xu Jinghuai grabbed Yan Yunshu and pulled her back to his side.
"It's ridiculous, Xu Jingye, you are so unreasonable. I have seen it all."
"Yan Yunshu, come here!" Xu Jingye was furious. He pretended to pull Yan Yunshu over, but Yan Yunshu took Xu Jinghuai's hand openly.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Yunshu lifted up the hand she and Xu Jinghuai were holding tightly together, and said, "Your Highness, Yunshu likes Xu Jinghuai. Please don't misunderstand that Yunshu will pester you again."
Xu Jinghuai was stunned. He knew that Yan Yunshu's words would anger Xu Jingye, but his heart was still beating so fast that it almost flew out of his chest.
Xu Jingye was also stunned. He looked at the two hands tightly clasped together in disbelief. "You...you...it's impossible, Yan Yunshu! Don't think I will be fooled by your little tricks. If you keep acting like this, I will never talk to you again. You will never marry me in this life..."
"Okay!" Yan Yunshu replied quickly, "Your Highness must keep your word and never talk to me again."
Xu Jingye was shocked. Could it be serious?
But... how could it be possible? She had been obsessed with me for three years. How could she have changed so much in just ten days? She must be playing tricks on me.
"Yan Yunshu! You've acted before! I'm telling you, even if you come to me on your knees and beg me someday, I won't agree to anything!"
Yan Yunshu was tired and stopped talking. She didn't want to talk to the stupid guy anymore.
Seeing that Yan Yunshu didn't reply, Xu Jingye thought that Yan Yunshu was about to give in, so he sneered and said, "Yan Yunshu, as long as you accept the punishment on Yao'er's behalf, I will forgive you and let you marry me as you wish."
Yan Yunshu smiled, "Your Highness, I don't want to take the punishment for my younger sister. I've been whipped and locked up in the woodshed so many times before, but I've never seen my younger sister take the punishment for me. Besides, the person my younger sister, Yan Shuyao, offended was the Second Prince. I can't take the punishment for him on my own initiative."
"Yan Yunshu! This is the last chance I'll give you. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I don't need this opportunity." Yan Yunshu looked at Yan Shuyao with a smile, still not looking at Xu Jingye.
Xu Jingye looked at Yan Yunshu with a frown on his face. Yes, he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Yan Yunshu.
Can't tell true from false.
He felt that with her vicious and sinister nature, it was not impossible that she was still acting at this moment.
But the determination in her eyes showed a seriousness that could not be faked.
Besides, there is Xu Jinghuai. With Xu Jinghuai around, there is also the possibility of variables.
He looked at Xu Jinghuai, whose gaze was like a sharp blade, stabbing him fiercely.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Yan Shuyao tugged at the corner of Xu Jingye's clothes, sobbing, "Your Highness, I am willing to accept the punishment. Please don't argue with the Second Prince anymore, and don't make it difficult for me to take the punishment for you."
Yan Shuyao just made a decision, which was to give up Xu Jingye and start to attack Xu Jinghuai again.
Because, with her woman's intuition, she finally realized that Yan Yunshu would really not devote herself to Xu Jingye anymore. Even if there was still a possibility, it was extremely small.
What she had discovered before, that Yan Yunshu would lose control of her emotions in front of Xu Jingye, was also accidental. At least now, she did not see any inner struggle in Yan Yunshu.
Things have come to this point. After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Shuyao felt that she could have it both ways: with one hand, she could hold on to Xu Jingye, who was devoted to her, and with the other hand, she could hold on to the possibility that Xu Jinghuai would like her.
If you want to seize this possibility, then you can't make things too awkward with Xu Jinghuai, you can only go along with him.
If she obeyed him, she would have to accept the punishment. Anyway, the woodshed was in the prime minister's residence, and her father and mother had plenty of opportunities to take care of her.
She was not very worried about the situation in the next few days.
So she came out again and acted as a considerate "peacemaker".
But Xu Jingye didn't know what Yan Shuyao was thinking, he just felt a pain in his heart again.
People are right. Yan Shuyao’s biggest shortcoming is that she is too kind and too considerate of others.
"Since you are willing to accept punishment, why do you invite His Royal Highness Prince Ye?" Xu Jinghuai sneered and exposed Yan Shuyao's lie.
Yan Shuyao's eyes were filled with tears, and they fell softly, "Your Highness, I don't know..."
"Your Highness, it was I who invited you." The concubine stood up, her face wet with tears. "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand Yao'er. Yao'er is innocent and kind-hearted. She never thinks of herself, but only of others. She is well-behaved and sensible. When bullied, she just endures it and suffers terribly. As a mother, I really can't bear to see it, and I can't bear to see her punished, so I sent someone to invite Your Highness..."
These words made Yan Yunshu vomit. She couldn't help but cover her chest and pretend to vomit.
The aunt looked at Yan Yunshu, "Shu'er, are you mocking and humiliating me? Why is Shu'er treating me like this..."
Yan Yunshu waved her hand, "I ate too much this morning, I feel sick!"
"What a coincidence! I also ate too much this morning and felt sick too!" Xu Jinghuai said, his cold eyes falling on his aunt and Yan Shuyao.
