Su Mengyan's silence made Situ Yao even angrier. "What is 'Gu' in your heart?"
"Your Highness, please don't be angry for now." Su Mengyan calmed his anger. The most urgent thing was to get Situ Yao to stop holding on to this matter.
Anyway, no matter what she does, Cui Mixue is the heroine, and she is just a cannon fodder female supporting role. As long as she holds on to her heroine at all times and doesn't get killed halfway, it will be fine.
Situ Yao looked down and saw Su Mengyan's red eyes, as if she would cry at any moment. His anger miraculously disappeared, and finally turned into just one sentence, "Alright, let's end this matter here, you can get out."
Su Mengyan didn't expect Situ Yao to let her go so easily. She stood at the door feeling incredible.
Thinking of Yunfu who had run away earlier, Su Mengyan sighed softly. Judging from the little princess's temperament, she was probably hiding in a corner crying. She was worried and went all the way to look for her.
Yunfu ran into the peach forest and lay down on a stone table. Su Mengyan could hear her sobbing from a distance.
Su Mengyan walked over quietly, "Princess."
"What are you doing here?" Yun Fu wiped the tears from his eyes fiercely and asked her in a choked voice, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"No." Su Mengyan was afraid that she would continue crying, so she simply told a white lie, "It was His Highness who asked me to come here. He was worried about you."
"Don't lie to me." Yun Fu didn't believe her. "If the prince really cared about me, he wouldn't have chased me away just now."
Su Mengyan was at her wit's end, so she just sat beside her and cried with her. When she was tired, she spoke again, "Princess, have you ever thought about why His Highness scolded you just now?"
"What else could it be?" Yun Fu sobbed a few times. "I'm a burden to him. If it weren't for me this time, the prince wouldn't have to be so cautious and afraid of being discovered."
Su Mengyan chuckled, "Princess, you are wrong. His Highness is not that kind of person."
"I'm his sister. Don't I know what he's thinking?" Yun Fu was dissatisfied.
"Princess, you know very well what the situation is like for His Highness in the palace. If he takes a wrong step, he will be doomed. He doesn't want you to ask too much. He just wants to protect you, not to drive you away or think you are a burden." Su Mengyan has thousands of years more wisdom than them. Comforting a little girl who is ignorant of the world is a piece of cake for her.
Yunfu soon stopped crying and insisted on eating the dessert Su Mengyan made herself. She had no choice but to agree.
On their way to the kitchen, they unexpectedly ran into Cui Mixue. She seemed to have recovered after a restful afternoon and greeted them with a normal expression.
Yun Fu really didn't have any good feelings towards her. He walked past her without even a response.
Cui Mixue didn't mind at all, and instead caught up and asked, "Princess and Yan'er, are you going to the kitchen?"
"What's it to you?" Yun Fu said frankly, without considering Cui Mixue's face at all.
"Princess, what did I do wrong?" Cui Mixue was very puzzled. It was clearly their first meeting, so why was Princess Yunfu so hostile to her?
Could it be that Su Mengyan was sowing discord? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. In this case, she couldn't let the two of them be alone together, lest she say more bad things about herself in front of Princess Yunfu.
Cui Mixue hesitated for a moment and then followed, "Yan'er, what is she doing in the kitchen? Can I go and see?" She knew Yun Fu would not agree, so she set her sights on Su Mengyan.
Yunfu had already walked ahead. For some reason, Su Mengyan would not refuse her insignificant request, so she agreed to let her go with her.
Yun Fu, who had been standing at the kitchen door for a long time, was very dissatisfied and asked Su Mengyan bluntly, "Why did you bring her here?"
"Princess, don't be angry. Miss Cui is here to help." After Su Mengyan's persuasion, Yun Fu finally let go. However, in the kitchen, it was only the two of them who were chattering. Cui Mixue, who had forced her way in, was ignored.
Feeling neglected, Cui Mixue returned to the house and vented her anger on the maid Biwu.
"How am I inferior to her?" Cui Mixue was very puzzled. "When did Princess Yunfu and her become so close?"
If Yunfu hadn't been Situ Yao's favorite sister, Cui Mixue would never have bothered to do such a favor. But she never expected that even this, Su Mengyan, would have gotten there first. She was so jealous she was practically going crazy that she scolded Biwu harshly.
"Miss, please calm down. I have a solution." Bi Wu suppressed her tears of humiliation and whispered to her to discuss countermeasures.
"Now everyone thinks that Princess Yunfu is about to die of a serious illness, and His Highness dares not make it public. As long as we succeed, Miss will not only be able to eliminate the annoying Su Mengyan, but also make Princess Yunfu disappear completely, killing two birds with one stone." Biwu's cruelty is exactly the same as Cui Mixue's, not inferior to her master at all.
Cui Mixue was persuaded by her. After all, this was not in the palace, so she could get away easily.
None of the other three people guessed this, not even Su Mengyan, who knew the plot in advance, because this was not in the original work.
After what happened during the day, Yunfu and Su Mengyan became much closer than before. They had similar personalities and always had endless things to talk about.
Yun Fu was happily talking about the interesting things that happened outside when Situ Yao suddenly came. Yun Fu's face instantly turned sullen and he looked very unhappy.
"Your Highness, you are here." At this time, Su Mengyan was the mediator between them.
After her constant reminders, Yun Fu reluctantly called out, "Crown Prince."
Situ Yao looked calm and composed as he sat down and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
"The princess has been trapped in the mountains for a long time, and I am telling her what happened outside." Su Mengyan was afraid of a dull silence, so she repeated everything she had just said.
Situ Yao took advantage of the opportunities she gave him, occasionally interjecting. Slowly, Yun Fu finally smiled again, and the brother and sister finally stopped their cold war.
After the meal, Situ Yao found Su Mengyan and said awkwardly, "Thank you for enlightening Yunfu."
"Your Highness, don't blame me for meddling in your affairs now?" Su Mengyan asked him this deliberately, taking advantage of the situation.
Situ Yao put away his previous awkwardness, and said with a smile in his starry eyes, "As long as you don't say things you shouldn't, I won't mind."
Su Mengyan also laughed, and her tense mood relaxed a lot. Even if Cui Mixue came to the villa, they would still be the same as before, she thought to herself, and the smile on her face never stopped.
