After a long thought, he finally explained, "Actually, Mian'er knew that Imperial Physician Yun was against you. He had won numerous military exploits on the battlefield and was on good terms with the Second Prince, making him a significant threat to you. Furthermore, he suddenly barged into Mian'er's room that day. If Mian'er had pretended nothing had happened and been seen by the servants, wouldn't that have made it even more difficult to conceal the truth? So, he had no choice but to go along with it..."
Yun Mian naturally didn't know Yun Miao's identity before.
But now it can be used as a reasonable excuse.
Mu Linyuan looked at her with a deep gaze: "Are you serious?"
"What Mian'er said is absolutely true." Yun Mian lowered his head, looking submissive.
Mu Linyuan thought that Yun Shengzhi really hated Yun Miao, and maybe he had said something to Yun Mian in private.
After learning about the situation, Mu Linyuan immediately lost interest in returning home.
However, the carriage arrived soon and stopped in front of the prime minister's residence.
The guards at the door immediately reacted: "It's the Second Prince and the Second Princess who have returned home. Go and inform the Prime Minister."
Yun Shengzhi led Miao Fengxian to personally receive Mu Linyuan and Yun Mian.
Miao Fengxian was particularly cordial. Taking advantage of a break between Yun Shengzhi and Mu Linyuan's conversation, she pulled Yun Mian aside to "reminisce" and said, "Princess, you have been living a life of luxury in the palace lately, but don't forget your status. Once you gain the Second Prince's favor, you must put in a good word or two for Xian'er."
"Mian'er knows." Yun Mian gritted her teeth internally. Although she was now the princess, she still couldn't move forward. This mountain of status had trapped her for eternity. Now, upon returning home, she was met with advice instead of concern. She looked at Miao Fengxian with a somewhat annoyed look, "But if Madam really wanted to speak for Miss Xian'er, she should have found a way to protect Mian'er's identity. Instead of letting this leak out, Mian'er would live in fear for the rest of her life. And something like that happened at the wedding, and yet she still enjoys the prince's favor?"
"What do you mean? Apart from me and the master, who else knows your identity?" Miao Fengxian was surprised.
Yun Mian then told Miao Fengxian everything that happened at the wedding in detail: "If I hadn't been threatened at the time, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Even Yun Miao knew I was a fake."
"Could it be..." Miao Fengxian pondered for a moment, her eyes widening: "Could it be her?"
"Her? Who else knows my identity?" Yun Mian was speechless. She always had a feeling that she would be exposed at any time, and more and more people knew about this.
Unexpectedly, Miao Fengxian looked at her and said, "The real Sixth Miss has returned."
"What!" Yun Mian exclaimed, "Isn't she dead?"
"Who knows she's not dead? She hasn't come back for so many years, but she comes back at this time. But don't worry, she's just a little girl and can't be my opponent. Now she can only stay in the mansion as an illegitimate daughter. Even if she does something secretly behind my back, it's useless. When the time comes, I will get rid of her. After she dies and there is no evidence, you will be the only Fulian Fengnu in the world." Miao Fengxian sneered.
After hearing this, Yun Mian felt relieved.
"It seems that the reason why Yun Miao swore that I was a fake was that she must have learned the true identity of the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It must be this Sixth Miss who couldn't stand the fact that Mian'er became the Second Princess, so she stirred up trouble behind the scenes." Yun Mian was not so panicked after confirming the source of the leaked information.
Miao Fengxian looked at her and said, "The master is on your side now. As long as you work hard and get pregnant with the Second Prince's child and win his favor, then why would you be afraid of the rumors outside? She's just Yunchun. I can defeat her mother, so how can I not defeat her? Ridiculous..."
However, just as she finished her words, a servant's voice was heard outside: "Oh no, Master and Madam, the eldest young master is going to be beaten to death."
"What?" When Miao Fengxian heard this, she hurried out of the side hall with Yun Mian.
Yun Shengzhi in the main hall had just finished greeting Mu Linyuan.
Hearing this, he glared at the servant and asked, "What's going on?"
"The eldest young master competed with the seventh young lady's maid, but the eldest young master lost and refused to surrender. So..." The servant hesitated to speak.
Miao Fengxian's face was green with rage. After all, she knew the whole story. She had originally asked Yun Jian and Yun Wu to take charge of the competition, so she didn't follow the younger generation to the fighting arena. Plus, Yun Mian was returning home today, so as the mistress of the mansion, she naturally had to prepare a lot of things. But she hadn't expected it to get this far in just a short while.
"How dare Yunchun take action against Qi'er!" Miao Fengxian looked at the servants and said, "Hurry up and lead the way!"
Yun Shengzhi also stood up hurriedly: "Second Prince, I will go and take care of some family matters."
"That's fine. I'll go with you too." Mu Linyuan was curious. When had a Seventh Young Lady appeared in the Yun Xiang Mansion? And how could she act so brazenly? She even had a maidservant beat up the eldest son? Interesting.
Yun Mian, who was standing next to him, noticed that Mu Linyuan was interested and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, would you like to go and rest for a while?"
"No need." Mu Linyuan didn't even spare a moment to look at her.
Yunmian was so angry that he could only follow.
She was afraid because Yun Chun was the real culprit.
What if Mu Linyuan was interested in Yun Chun?
Martial arts competition field.
Yun Miao lazily leaned against a nearby wooden stake, tapping it with a pair of claws. "Oh, my brother, you can't really be unable to defeat a woman, right? It's okay, as long as you surrender, Chun'er will forget everything you said before."
Yun Qi on the ring had been beaten black and blue by Tan Yao.
But he didn't even touch the corner of Tan Yao's clothes.
Such a huge disparity in strength shocked everyone present.
Yun Qi had initially wanted to retreat when he first realized the gap, but Yun Miao, standing beside him, kept adding fuel to the fire. For example, if he admitted defeat right now, he'd probably never be able to hold his head up again.
So he could only bite the bullet and continue to attack Tan Yao on the opposite side, but he was still kicked away and lay on the ground in a mess, unable to get up for a long time.
"That's enough, Yunchun. My brother is the eldest son of the prime minister's family. You actually let a maid humiliate him like this. It's simply too much." Yun Xian wanted to tear Yun Miao's face into pieces.
But Yun Miao gave her a casual look. "Dear sister, I didn't agree to this competition alone. Besides, it was your eldest brother who wanted fairness and justice. Now, as long as he surrenders, the competition will end immediately. What's the point of you yelling at me?"
