The next day, Yun Wanwan heard about this incident, and Ah Kui suddenly realized, "So the accident the young lady was talking about is the accident of the second young lady!"
Yun Wanwan put down the teacup in her hand and shook her head. "Not entirely. If Liu Xueyan hadn't arrived in time yesterday, I'm afraid the whole night would have been long. When I woke up today, I would have heard the news that His Majesty had appointed Yun Yaoyao as his consort."
Ah Kui still couldn't figure out how Yun Wanwan, who had been staying with them the entire time, knew about this. "Then how did the young lady know that the Second Young Lady had seduced His Majesty? She was clearly in Qingya Terrace the entire day yesterday. She didn't leave since she took Qingyao to the Imperial Garden that morning."
Yun Wanwan pretended to be profound and said, "I just know it." Then she concentrated on admiring the lotus flowers in the pond.
Rong Chengxuan was indeed very efficient. The day before yesterday he said he wanted to plant more lotus flowers in the pond for himself to enjoy, but when he came back from the Imperial Garden yesterday, they had all been planted.
Rong Chengxuan had several more varieties planted this time, not just the Thousand-petal Lotus. Yun Wanwan already foresaw the dazzling spectacle the lotuses would create when they bloomed in the pond.
After a long pause, Yun Wanwan said something incoherently, "In the end, it's all her own fault."
Ah Kui understood what was going on and nodded in agreement, "If she had been a good young lady in the Yun Mansion and hadn't come to argue with you, young lady, she would at least still be in the Yun Mansion, being waited on by a group of maids and servants, and being doted on by Madam Yun and General Yun. Her life would still be comfortable and fulfilling. But she..."
Ah Kui took into consideration that this was in the palace, not Yun Wanwan's house. If there were ears on the other side of the wall and her words were heard by someone with ulterior motives and taken advantage of, Yun Wanwan would be the one who would be blamed in the end.
Even if Ah Kui didn't finish her words, Yun Wanwan knew exactly what she was trying to say. However, Yun Yaoyao, raised by Gu Pingge to be a spoiled young lady, couldn't stand or tolerate Yun Wanwan, a girl from the countryside, getting ahead of her. As a result, her mind became increasingly active, and her targets became increasingly prestigious.
But she forgot that compared to Yun Wanwan, the biological daughter of Gu Pingge and General Yun, she was just a child of unknown origin who was taken to the Yun Mansion to be raised because Gu Pingge liked her. When the fake pretends to be real, the end will always be tragic.
In the end, it was indeed proved that people's fate is determined. Yun Yaoyao enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Yun Mansion for so many years on behalf of Yun Wanwan, and received so much love from Gu Pingge and General Yun. It was time to pay it back.
Yun Wanwan felt that since Yun Yaoyao had encountered such a thing, and it was the order given by Liu Xueyan and Ji Mo personally, Gu Pingge and General Yun were completely unable to protect her.
However, Yun Wanwan still underestimated how much Gu Pingge and General Yun cared about Yun Yaoyao, their fake daughter. When Yun Wanwan woke up from her nap in the afternoon, she heard Qingyao report that Gu Pingge was waiting in the pavilion and had been there for a while.
Yun Wanwan lightly adjusted her clothes and hair before taking Qingyao towards the pavilion.
When she first met Gu Pingge, she didn't look down on her like she had in the past. Instead, when she saw Yun Wanwan approaching, she subconsciously stood up and stared at her blankly. Compared to Yun Yaoyao, Yun Wanwan, her biological daughter, was almost a stranger to Gu Pingge.
Her impression of Yun Wanwan still remained on the time when she saw her in the mountains. She had no manners at all and was even dirty. One could tell at a glance that she had a strong country air. She didn't look like the daughter of Gu Pingge at all, and she didn't have the temperament of a young lady from the Yun family.
But she had forgotten that the source of all this was her and General Yun. When they heard Yun Wanwan was a celestial evil star, destined to bring misfortune upon others, they immediately found a remote mountain village and abandoned her there overnight, intending to leave her to fend for herself.
After they adopted their daughter Yun Yaoyao, they forgot about Yun Wanwan, whom they had left in the mountain village to fend for herself.
After bringing Yun Wanwan back, he treated her with disdain. When he found out that Rong Chengxuan actually fell in love with Yun Wanwan and wanted to marry her, he also looked down on Rong Chengxuan.
The Rong family's little troubles had spread throughout the capital more than ten years ago. Rong Chengxuan, the illegitimate son, and Yun Wanwan, the unlucky girl, were a perfect match.
But now, Yun Wanwan's life was getting better and better thanks to her engagement to Rong Chengxuan, while the daughter she had raised had been in trouble again and again since Yun Wanwan's return, and was even reduced to slavery and sold into a brothel. This also made Gu Pingge doubt the fortune teller's words for the first time in her life...
Yun Wanwan knew why Gu Pingge came here, but she was not the one in the brothel now, so she was not anxious at all. The ones who should be anxious should be Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao, who was now in the brothel and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.
According to what A Kui just told her, before Yun Yaoyao was sent to the brothel by Liu Xueyan, she was forced to drink a lot of aphrodisiacs. She also said that the amount was enough for four people after she asked the imperial physician for it. After drinking it, Yun Yaoyao would turn into a little goblin who sucked human blood and kept serving men.
Gu Pingge sat down again after Yun Wanwan sat down. She kept shrinking her hands. Now she was asking Yun Wanwan for something, so she definitely couldn't act as condescending as before. She had to lower her posture. After all, Yun Yaoyao was still waiting for her to rescue her in the brothel.
Gu Pingge considered her words in her mind for a moment before speaking, "Wanwan, Mother is here to ask you for a favor..."
Yun Wanwan looked at Gu Pingge coldly, feeling nothing but mockery. This was the first time Gu Pingge had acted like a mother to her, only to come to Yun Wanwan to plead for mercy and save Yun Yaoyao.
"If Madam Yun is here because of Yun Yaoyao's matter, then I can't do anything about it. That was an order personally issued by His Majesty and the Empress. No matter how capable I am, I can't have a say in His Majesty and the Empress..."
When Gu Pingge heard Yun Wanwan talking about Yun Yaoyao, a little hope appeared in his eyes. He stood up and grabbed Yun Wanwan's hand, refusing to let go.
