Yun Yuan sneered and came out from behind Wenren Yan.
"I've only seen the pills that Eighteenth Sister mentioned in books. It's not something I can get with Aunt Wen's status."
Wen Renji was a little anxious: "Do you know what pill it is?"
Yun Yuan said calmly, "The Medical Classics record that the Yin-Yang Hesheng Pills, one red and one green, the red one is Yang and the green one is Yin. Men take Yang and women take Yin. It can help infertile men give birth to children."
Wen Renji was greatly shocked, and Wenchangbo was also excited. If he could get a pair of pills like this to present to His Majesty, what else would he want?
Wen Renyan remained calm: "A pill with this kind of effect is bound to have side effects."
"Indeed." Yun Yuan said, "Forcing an infertile woman to give birth is against heaven's will and extremely harmful to the mother's body. Giving birth to a child takes twenty years off one's lifespan. If what Eighteenth Sister said is true, then Aunt Wen must have deceived Eighteenth Sister. Eighteenth Sister, be careful."
Yun Shu was stunned. Twenty years of life in exchange for a child?
No wonder Yun Yuan died after giving birth to three children in her previous life, and she felt that her health was not as good as before after giving birth to only one. She used to think it was just a sequelae of childbirth, but now she has to doubt it.
"Are you telling the truth?" Something in Wenren Ji's heart was collapsing.
"Of course it's true. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go and look it up in the Medical Classics yourself." Yun Yuan said in a calm and firm tone.
"As for Eighteenth Sister's claim that I took her pills, I can cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation. I believe the Dali Temple will definitely clear my name."
Wen Renji stared at Yun Yuan, trying to find a flaw on her face, but in the end he could only see a vague outline behind the curtain and could not make out anything else.
"Don't call it Dali Temple." Yun Shu's face turned extremely ugly, and she didn't dare to look at the eyes of the people around her.
The Dali Temple is known for its fairness and strictness. Once it intervenes in the investigation, her words will not stand up to scrutiny and the truth will soon come to light. The rumors of her having an affair have not yet faded, and now there are reports of a false accusation against her sister. Then she will never have to go out again.
She suppressed her uneasiness and forced a rather ugly smile. "I just remembered that I left the pills at the Jinling Mansion. I was too anxious just now. Seventeenth Sister, please don't blame me."
Under Wen Renji's incredulous gaze, she bent down stiffly, picked up the thing and handed it to Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan took her things expressionlessly. "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, shouldn't Eighteenth Sister return the things I brought back from Jinling?"
After these words were spoken, Wen Renyan looked at Yun Shu as if he was looking at a dead person, with a cold and piercing look.
Yun Shu felt as if a thorn in her back: "Seventeenth sister is back, I did bring the things I was keeping for her to give to you."
Yun Yuan: "That's good. I put two thousand taels of silver in my box. Eighteenth sister, please make sure it is not lost."
"What silver?"
Yun Shu suspected that he had heard wrongly. The things Yun Yuan brought from Jinling were just some junk. If they couldn't be sold, they couldn't even be exchanged for 50 taels of silver. How could there be two thousand taels of silver? Wasn't this a blatant lie?
Yun Yuan smiled brightly: "Of course it's the silver I brought from Jinling, two thousand taels. Eighteenth sister, are you planning to keep it for yourself?"
A smile flashed in Wenren Yan's eyes. His Yuan'er was still as smart as ever and would not suffer any loss.
Yun Shu's voice was sharp: "Where did you get two thousand taels of silver?!"
"Eighteenth sister, have you forgotten?" Yun Yuan said in surprise, "My aunt is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The two thousand taels of silver were naturally left to me by my aunt. Why is it that only your aunt is allowed to leave you something but not my aunt for me?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Yun Shu wanted to argue that there was no silver in it, but Wen Renji interrupted her.
"I will send someone to deliver two thousand taels of silver. Can you lend me the Medical Classics?"
Yun Yuan: "Since the Second Prince has spoken, there is no reason for me not to respond. However, the book and some of my other belongings have already been taken away by Eighteen. If the Second Prince wants to read it, he can only go back to his own mansion to look for it."
"In that case, Your Highness will leave first."
Wen Renji was very anxious to verify something at the moment and had no intention of staying here any longer.
He didn't even look at Yun Shu, and walked out with big strides.
When Wenchangbo saw Wenren Ji was about to leave, he hurried to see him off, while Yunshu stamped his feet and ran after them.
Wen Renyan swept his cold eyes over the young masters and young ladies from the Bo Mansion who were secretly watching around. After seeing his look, these people scattered and dared not stay any longer.
When no one was around, Wen Renyan said solemnly, "Yuan'er."
"Um?"
Wen Renyan said sternly, "The Yin-Yang Hesheng Pill is an evil drug. You must not even think about it. If you like children... I allow you to find someone else to have one later."
Yun Yuan was stunned: "Do you really think so?"
Wen Renyan lowered his eyes, rarely showing a look of grievance, and said "hmm" softly.
Yun Yuan looked at him with complicated feelings.
Wen Renyan said seriously, "I can't have children because of my illness. How can I let you sacrifice your life for me? Is it just because you chose me? This is unfair. So if there is any sacrifice, it should be mine. If you really need a blood-related child, I allow you to find a man to have one, but only one."
His eyes were slightly red, revealing a stubborn look.
Yun Yuan leaned gently in his warm embrace and said softly, "I will never look for anyone else."
Wen Renyan hugged her slender waist tightly, thinking in his heart how great it would be if he were a normal person.
When Wenchangbo saw the two people leaning against each other, he was secretly happy.
Wenren Yan calmly let go of Yunyuan and warned Wenchangbo.
"Take good care of Yun Yuan. If you are sensible, I can give you some protection. Otherwise, I don't mind changing Yun Yuan's sire to another one."
Wenchang Bo's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "I will do my best to take good care of Seventeen."
"Stand up." Wen Renyan exuded the majesty of a superior. "I will ask my father to grant me permission for marriage. From now on, you will be my father-in-law. There is no need to be so polite in front of me."
"Yes, yes." Wenchangbo wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up from the ground.
"I will send someone to take care of Yun Yuan's daily life. Don't have any other thoughts."
Wenren Yan gave Yun Yuan a few more instructions before returning to the palace to report.
"You're quite good at hiding things," said Wenchang Bo. "Your luck is better than your eighteenth sister's. When you become successful, don't forget to support our family. We are the closest family to you."
Yun Yuan: "When I disappeared, my father didn't want to send anyone to look for me. Now he's just saying this to profit. You don't even believe it yourself."
Evil girl! Thinking of Wenren Ji's explanation, Wenchang Bo dared not speak out in anger.
With a forced smile, he said, "After a woman marries, she needs the protection of a strong family. Only offspring and blood ties are the most reliable. Your biological mother passed away early, so no one taught you. You will understand in the future."
Yun Yuan: "Father is saying that I was born by a mother but not raised by a father?"
