In her decades of life, she has seen few people who genuinely shed tears; on the contrary, she has seen many who feign pitifulness to gain sympathy.
Therefore, in the past, no matter how pitifully the maids in the mansion cried, Yun Xiangjian would always investigate the truth first before speaking.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he gained another title: "vicious-hearted." While others were crying so miserably, she was only focused on investigating the truth and had no sympathy whatsoever.
The one who spread her malice was the maid who cried in front of her, her face streaked with tears.
Yun Xiangjian knew she couldn't possibly accept being known for her poisonous heart, and she did consider explaining that it wasn't true.
But when she discovered that those who spread her malicious rumors were all people she hadn't directly helped to uncover the truth, she stopped caring about it.
Let them say whatever they want; if that's really how the world is, then she has nothing to say.
She used to think that she didn't care about anything. Until she met Wan Ge.
At that time, I didn't know she was a woman. She was a man who had saved my life and was such a perfect man. Except for being a little short and not as tall as my brothers, she was very good.
Especially after getting to know him, she felt that the Crown Prince was a very good person.
The prince has always been quite gentle with her, deliberately keeping his distance from her while still considering her self-esteem and her thoughts.
When she asked him, puzzled, if he didn't like her because of what others were saying about her.
But the other party firmly said, "No! I have no feelings for you, Miss. I have never interacted with you before, so how could I make wild guesses based on some outside rumors? Besides, I have met you a few times and I don't think you are what the outside world says."
Actually, Wan Ge knew a little about her at that time and understood what kind of person she was, but she was too lazy to explain that she wasn't a bad person.
Moreover, judging a person as good or bad based solely on what others say is not in her nature.
…
At this moment, Yun Xiangjian did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about this. I can handle it myself."
"Okay..." When Wei Shengyue saw that she didn't ask any further questions, all the things she wanted to say vanished instantly.
She couldn't continue speaking; if she did, Yun Xiangjian might realize something.
So instead, they went to inquire about information regarding the assassin.
When Yun Xiang saw that she had indeed asked this question, she waved her hand indifferently: "The General's Mansion has made many enemies, so it's normal for some people to target me. Anyway, the young master has already eliminated those people, so there's no need to worry about it."
When Wei Shengyue heard her say that, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was quite afraid that she would continue to investigate. After all, she didn't know whether the organization she had hired was reliable or not. What if the investigation revealed her identity?
Since becoming more cautious, Yun Xiangjian had been secretly observing the other party. When she felt relieved that she had said she wouldn't investigate, she cursed herself for being foolish. Who was this person? She was someone who would pursue the truth to the end. When it came to her own life safety, how could Yun Xiangjian really not investigate?
It's ridiculous that he thought he had her under control, yet he didn't even understand her personality.
…
For a considerable period afterward, Yun Xiangjian took the initiative, pursuing the prince with the same fervor as she had a year ago.
