After Yun Wenting brought Yun Wenfang out of the hot spring villa, he did not return to the Yun family's villa near the Sun and Moon Spring. Instead, the two of them took a carriage directly back to Yunyang City, leaving the mess in the hot spring villa to the women to deal with.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin stayed in Lanyue Pavilion and did not go out. After learning that there was a huge commotion outside, they closed the door and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
The old princess was truly enraged this time, and sent people to the Yun family to demand his release. However, Yun Wenfang had vanished. The Yun family, however, remained extremely friendly, repeatedly promising that Yun Wenfang would pay his respects to the old princess upon his return. Even more infuriating, the old princess and Xiao Wei dared not disclose Yun Wenfang's framing of Xiao Jinglin to anyone, fearing it would ruin Wu Yiyu's chastity. They had no choice but to accept the blow.
Finally, the old princess and Xiao Wei were so angry that they asked someone to call the princess over.
The old princess was furious at the princess. If the maid beside the princess had not been quick-witted, the old princess would have almost poured the hot tea in her hand and the cup on the princess' face.
The princess was extremely well-mannered. She glanced at the tea on the maid's body and the broken tea bowl on the ground without frowning. She lowered her head and said softly, "I've sent people to find Yun Wenfang. Once they find him, they'll bring him to you for trial. If he really did something so foolish, you'll naturally deal with him. The Yun family won't cover up for him this time. But the most urgent thing now is to suppress those unfounded rumors outside, so that no one can make a fuss that gets out of hand, which would be bad for Yi Yu."
Xiao Wei was so enraged that she no longer cared about her image as a noble lady. She cursed, "You talk better than you sing. If it weren't for you and the Yun family secretly protecting that little bastard, he would have been able to run so fast, and our people couldn't find him no matter how hard they tried. It would be funny if I believed you and you obediently sent him to me to confess your sins. What a shameless bastard you are, Yanbei's number one family, what a prestigious family! You only gave birth to such shameless bastards!"
When Xiao Wei was still unmarried, she was always overshadowed by the princess who was still the eldest daughter of the Yun family. And because her mother, although a princess, was not as favored by the old prince as the concubine Yun who was also from the Yun family, she disliked the Yun family even more, and therefore she and the princess had never gotten along.
The princess frowned.
Xiao Wei turned to the old princess and said, "Mother, quickly send someone to call the prince back and have him order the Yun family to be surrounded! I don't believe that the Yun family will dare not hand over the people when the time comes." She glanced at the princess and said, "Even if the prince wasn't born from your belly, you are still her mother. I am his biological sister, and Yu'er is his biological nephew. He can't just ignore her!"
The old princess looked at the princess: "Where is the prince?"
The princess lowered her head and replied, "I heard a while ago that the Liao people in the north had some unusual movements, and the prince went to Wuzhou."
Xiao Wei said, "Whoever is the commander of the city garrison? Ask him to come over. While the prince is away, there must be someone left to guard Yunyang City. Have them seal the four city gates. I don't believe that Yun Wenfang, that little bastard, can escape with wings!"
The princess said calmly, "Please forgive my inability to help. I am only in charge of the palace's internal affairs and cannot interfere in military and political affairs."
The old princess slammed the table and said angrily, "Then call someone who can make the decision to come see me!"
Xiao Wei echoed the sentiment: "I heard that when the prince is away, Xiao Jingxi has always been helping to handle Yanbei's military and political affairs."
