Yun Qingluo gave Yun Tao a subtle wink, then reached out and restrained Yun Yiyi's arm. With a quick movement of her feet and a slight increase in pressure, the two instantly switched positions.
When Yun Yiyi realized she was far from the edge of the pavilion, she felt a pang of panic.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
how so?
It must have been this wretched woman who pushed him into the pond, and the prince, seeing how cruel she was to his sister, abandoned her.
Yun Yiyi hurriedly reached out to grab Yun Qingluo, just then Mo Beichen lifted the curtain and walked in.
When he looked up and saw Yun Yiyi trying to push Yun Qingluo into the pond, his expression changed instantly. He abandoned his previous composure and exclaimed in a low voice, "Luoluo!"
Han Yixuan was also taken aback. Were these two sisters really going this far?
Seeing Yun Yiyi's panicked expression, Yun Qingluo gave her a strange smile.
Then, pretending to be pushed backward by Yun Yiyi and falling into the lake, he turned pale with fright and screamed in a panicked voice, "Ah, A-Chen, save me!"
Mo Beichen rushed over instantly and leaped into the air, catching Yun Qingluo and holding her tightly. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then, he lightly touched the lake surface with his toes, used his internal strength to leap up, and landed in the pavilion.
Yun Qingluo leaned softly against Mo Beichen's chest, her face pale and her eyes filled with fear, as if she had been terrified. Mo Beichen felt a pang of heartache at the sight.
But when he caught a glimpse of cunning in her eyes, he felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow it.
But she couldn't bring herself to get angry at that pale little face, so she could only redirect her anger elsewhere.
"Miss Yun, are you planning to murder your elder sister?" Mo Beichen stared at Yun Yiyi with eyes as sharp as knives, his voice icy cold.
With tears streaming down her face, Yun Yiyi said softly, "No, Your Highness, it wasn't that. It was my sister who tried to push me."
Mo Beichen interrupted Yun Yiyi, "Do you think I'm blind?"
"No, Your Highness, it was really my sister who tried to push me into the lake. I hadn't seen her for many days, and when I came to visit her, she had someone take me to a pavilion and freeze me for an hour. She then served me plain water and tried to push me into the lake... Your Highness, you can ask her if you don't believe me."
Seeing that Mo Beichen didn't believe her, Yun Yiyi quickly pulled Yun Tao over and threatened, "You'd better tell the prince the truth right away, or I'll have my father sell you off."
Yun Tao's eyes reddened, and she knelt down. "Your Highness, when the Second Miss arrived, the Princess Consort was still asleep. I asked the Second Miss to come later, but she said she had something urgent to discuss with the Princess Consort, so I woke her up. The Princess Consort was very happy to hear that the Second Miss had arrived, and she even scolded me for not waking her up sooner."
The princess specially ordered someone to bring the second young lady to the pavilion to enjoy the snow, and even instructed her servants to prepare the finest Biluochun tea to entertain her. She also thoughtfully had several extra stoves prepared in case the young lady got cold. Unexpectedly, the second young lady turned around and blamed the princess, even pushing her into the lake and begging the prince to intervene on her behalf.
Upon hearing Yun Tao's words, Yun Yiyi felt wronged and was instantly enraged. "You're talking nonsense! It's not like that, Your Highness! Look, this is clearly..." Yun Yiyi looked at the Biluochun tea in her cup, her eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this be? Where is the water in the glass?
Seeing Yun Yiyi completely disoriented, Yun Qingluo felt even more relieved.
Suddenly she shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "Ah Chen, don't blame your sister, it's all my fault. I wanted to dress up carefully before seeing her, which made her wait longer and caused her to be in a bad mood, which is why she made a mistake."
Ah Chen, this is my fault. My sister definitely didn't mean it. It's all my fault for not treating her well, which made her unhappy.
As soon as Yun Qingluo finished speaking, she saw Yun Yiyi looking at her with a venomous gaze, her eyes filled with the malice of a poisonous snake.
However, she didn't care at all what Yun Yiyi thought of her.
In her previous life, Yun Qingluo reflected on her actions after death and came to a conclusion: the best way to deal with a scheming woman is to walk her path and leave her with nowhere to go.
Seeing Yun Yiyi's discomfiture now is very satisfying.
Suddenly, an angry voice broke in:
"The Princess Consort is far too kind. These precious stoves, this top-quality Biluochun tea, and what I just witnessed with my own eyes—the Second Miss pushed the Princess Consort. The Second Miss is far too malicious."
Yun Qingluo froze. What was Han Yixuan doing here? Was that him speaking outside just now? She hadn't even recognized him.
Normally, she would rather she die soon and be reborn than to bother Mo Beichen.
Why would he help himself?
Seeing that she couldn't argue, Yun Yiyi was left speechless and unable to express her bitterness.
She was filled with resentment, but she knew that she wouldn't get anything out of it if she kept talking.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It was my fault. I apologize to you, please don't take offense." Yun Yiyi concealed the resentment in her eyes and apologized reluctantly.
Yun Qingluo heard the grievance in her voice and snorted coldly.
Yun Yiyi had wronged her many times in the past, so now she would taste what it was like to be wronged.
Mo Beichen said coldly, "Today, I will let it go because you are Luo Luo's sister and she pleaded for you. But you won't be so lucky in the future."
"Mo Feng, escort Miss Yun back to her residence and tell General Yun everything that just happened. If he doesn't know how to discipline...his adopted daughter, I won't mind doing it for him."
Yun Yiyi felt a sharp pain in her heart upon hearing Mo Beichen's words.
He actually emphasized his adopted daughter status. How could he be so indifferent to me?
Yun Yiyi looked at Mo Beichen with a hint of sadness in her eyes. When she saw the murderous intent in Mo Beichen's eyes, she shuddered, hurriedly lowered her head, gave a soft bow, and ran away.
That damn bitch, her plan was interrupted before it could even be implemented. Looks like she'll have to come up with a new one.
In a few days, at the palace banquet, she will definitely make her lose face. Humph, let's see if the Regent will still want her then.
As Yun Qingluo watched Yun Yiyi's departing figure, she breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to kill her with a single blow, but death was too easy and too blissful.
She wanted to let her live a good life; she wanted to repay her for all the pain she had suffered, bit by bit.
Sometimes, to torment someone, you don't necessarily have to kill them; destroying their spirit is actually more painful than death.
Mo Beichen lowered his head, his eyes deep as he looked at Yun Qingluo, and said in a deep voice, "Did you have fun?"
Yun Qingluo was startled; that tone...
Ah Chen is angry, and very angry.
Han Yixuan sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the pavilion and, not wanting to cause any trouble, quickly said he would come back another day and turned to leave.
He also took Yun Tao with him, telling her to see him off.
Yun Tao was unwilling, but she couldn't resist his strong grip and was dragged out before she could even glance at Yun Qingluo.
Han Yixuan smiled and said, "Brother, this is all I can do for you."
He didn't miss the smug look on her face when she fell as he entered the pavilion; the usually dull-witted man was surprisingly clear-headed for once.
He definitely didn't speak up for her just because he liked her.
He just didn't want the Princess Consort of Beichen to be bullied.
He wouldn't have spoken up for her if it weren't for the fact that she had actually cured Bei Chen's legs.
