"Second sister, do you think I've done something wrong?" Yun Wanwan said softly, "But I don't know what I've done wrong. Why don't you ask Mother and Second sister to explain it to me?"
Yun Wanwan finally changed her address according to Gu Pingge's words, but she did so without any emotion, as if the address "mother" was the same as "Mrs. Yun" to her, just a name, and calling her that would not make her feel any less important.
"Idiot!" Gu Pingge took a deep breath, but couldn't hold back and immediately started cursing. "You're so shameless at such a young age! You're already engaged to His Royal Highness Prince An, and now you're hooking up with the Xiliang envoy. You're such a fickle woman, you've brought disgrace upon our Yun Mansion! And you even dared to talk back to me? Who taught you the rules? You're so unbecoming!"
Yun Wanwan sighed inwardly. Although Gu Pingge was always very arrogant, once she opened her mouth, she would definitely behave like a shrew. She wondered which young lady from a wealthy family would curse like that?
When he started cursing, he was just like a prostitute from the underworld. Yun Wanwan had no problem with profanity or vulgarity. After all, she was from the 21st century, where everyone spoke in a quintessentially Chinese way. But for some reason, Yun Wanwan just couldn't stand Gu Pingge's cursing.
"Colluding with the Xiliang envoy?" she asked, her head tilted, bewildered. Wasn't this something that had already been clarified yesterday? Why was it brought up again today? And judging by the confident expressions of the mother and daughter, and the firm tone of their voices, it seemed as if they had already found evidence to prove what they were saying.
Even so, Yun Wanwan remained indifferent and silent. Hu Geer was already dead. If they went to look for him in a few years, his remains might be completely unrecognizable.
If that was the case, she wasn't afraid of Yun Yaoyao and Gu Pingge pulling out some "evidence" to bluff her. After all, Hu Ge'er, the person involved, was already dead. How could it not all depend on Yun Wanwan's words? In any case, there was no evidence.
Yun Yaoyao couldn't help but speak up, "Big Sister, although I know you like His Highness Prince An, turning to the Xiliang envoy because of your greed for power is wrong no matter how you look at it. It really damages the reputation of our family."
"And if His Royal Highness Prince An knew about this, he would definitely be displeased given how much he loves you. Big sister, you should find an opportunity to apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Ding. If you explain things clearly to him, he will understand your difficulties."
In a word, it was because of her collusion with the Xiliang envoy that she ruined her own reputation and brought trouble to the mansion. Yun Yaoyao looked ignorant of the world, but her mind was so unpredictable. Yun Wanwan couldn't help but look at her.
As expected, Yun Yaoyao's specialty is arguing with others, and coupled with her natural green tea attribute, it really makes Yun Wanwan unable to disobey.
Yun Yaoyao had just finished speaking when she saw Yun Wanwan looking at her. Her almond-shaped eyes, which usually seemed calm, were now sparkling and twinkling, as if containing some special meaning, which made her stunned.
The next second, Yun Wanwan's calm voice echoed, "Mother, you can't say anything about hooking up with the Xiliang envoy. You also said that I'm the fiancée of Rong Chengxuan of Prince An's Mansion. If you say that, I'm afraid it will ruin my reputation. If His Highness Prince An doesn't want to marry me, wouldn't that be my loss?"
Yun Wanwan's words were so convincing that Gu Pingge was stunned. It seemed that she was really thinking about what to do if Rong Chengxuan really didn't marry Yun Yaoyao?
At this time, Nanny Zhao, who had gone out to buy things for Gu Pingge, hurried back and accidentally tripped when crossing the threshold. Fortunately, a little maid at the door helped her and she did not fall.
Zhao Ma was an old lady who had served Gu Pingge since she was a child. Gu Pingge naturally knew that something serious must have happened. If it wasn't a serious incident, she would never let Zhao Ma lose her manners like this. Before Zhao Ma stood beside her, she hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Nanny Zhao took a few deep breaths. Seeing Yun Wanwan and Yun Yaoyao were there, she quickly bowed and said to everyone, "People from Prince An's Mansion are here to deliver the wedding dress."
"What?" Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao exclaimed in unison. Even the usually calm Yun Wanwan was taken aback.
Shouldn't Rong Chengxuan send her the wedding dress to the house where she currently lives? Why did he send it to the Yun Mansion?
Yun Wanwan was the protagonist, so she naturally went to the front yard to think. Yun Yaoyao and Gu Pingge were curious about what kind of wedding dress Rong Chengxuan had prepared for Yun Wanwan, so they followed Yun Wanwan to the front yard.
When everyone arrived at the front yard, the housekeeper Sun Bing was talking to a tall man with a nod and a bow.
The man was dressed in a neat, black, narrow-sleeved brocade robe. He was tall and had an extraordinary aura. Just standing there, he was more than a Yun Mansion steward could compare to. Yun Wanwan recognized him as Ye Lan from a distance.
Sun Bing was just talking one sentence at a time with a wide smile on his face, but Ye Lan was looking straight ahead, with his chin slightly raised. He stood there like a stone, not moving at all, and not even paying any attention to him.
Seeing this, Gu Pingge couldn't help but realize Ye Lan's identity. Prince An—a close associate of Rong Chengxuan. If Ye Lan hadn't been serving under Rong Chengxuan, he'd have been a military official in the court.
But Rong Chengxuan would not treat his subordinates unfairly. A few years ago, he asked Ji Moyi for an imperial edict for Ye Lan, which was to confer the title of general. He said that if Ye Lan got tired of being his subordinate one day, he could take this imperial edict to the court.
Now that Ye Lan had come in person and said that he was only there to deliver the wedding dress, Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao couldn't help but look at Yun Wanwan a few more times, and several thoughts began to occur in their hearts.
Gu Pingge took two steps in Ye Lan's direction and came in front of him, bowing and saluting. "I didn't know that the person sent by Prince An's Mansion was actually a general. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."
Ye Lan bowed and returned the greeting to Gu Pingge, "Hello, Madam Yun."
Ye Lan then turned around and saluted Yun Wanwan, who was a few steps away from Gu Pingge. It was obvious that his salute was more serious than when he saluted Gu Pingge. "This subordinate greets Miss Yun. Miss Yun, the prince asked me to bring you the wedding dress. Please remember to try it on later to see if there is anything that is not right. I can take it back to the embroiderer for modification."
As he spoke, Ye Lan motioned Song Jian, who was following behind him, to come forward. Song Jian trotted out from outside, and after a while, he ran back in with a huge box in his arms, and put the box in the yard.
