Although the woman had a very unfamiliar face, her tone and gesture gave him a very familiar feeling.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to bother you. I encountered such a family scandal on my first day back home. Please forgive me." Yun Shengzhi looked at Mu Linyuan on the side and said with distress.
But Mu Linyuan said indifferently: "I haven't heard before that there is a seventh young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
She is so fierce and wild, completely different from the well-behaved lady from a noble family.
Yun Mian, who had been silent behind him, also hurried to Mu Linyuan's side and said, "I just heard from my aunt that this sister Yun Chun is the illegitimate daughter that my father just brought back from outside."
Yun Mian breathed a sigh of relief the first time he saw Yun Miao.
Because this country girl has an extremely ordinary appearance and is like a shrew, without any of the manners of a lady.
There is no way that the Second Prince would like this type of thing.
"Illegitimate daughter?"
Mu Linyuan knew that this kind of thing was very common in every household, but he didn't expect that Yun Shengzhi would have two daughters at the same time after such a short period of time. It was just too much of a coincidence.
Yun Shengzhi also smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry that I have so many family matters to deal with. You are returning home today, so please don't disturb your peace with these matters. Mian'er, why don't you take Your Highness for a walk around..."
Mu Linyuan glanced at Yun Miao indifferently. It was true that the Seventh Miss's personality was very much to his liking, but she only bore a passing resemblance to that person. An illegitimate daughter wasn't enough to attract his attention.
Yun Miao naturally saw Mu Linyuan and chose to ignore him.
"younger sister!"
The moment Yunze saw Yunmian appear, his calm eyes suddenly rippled and he strode over.
When Yun Mian saw Yun Ze, a flash of annoyance flashed across her eyes, but she still pretended to be moved by the reunion of a long-lost family member: "Brother..."
"Your Highness, can I catch up with my sister? I have something important to ask her." Yunze said respectfully to Mu Linyuan.
Mu Linyuan didn't want Yun Mian to stick with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Go."
Yun Mian, however, felt that Yun Ze was really ignorant. Today, she had a rare opportunity to talk to Mu Linyuan calmly, and she felt that the relationship between them was about to warm up. But Yun Ze came to interrupt her at this time, which made her very unhappy.
However, she left with Yunze with a gentle smile on her face.
Yun Miao looked at this scene and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Yunze, this fool...
He wouldn't ask Yun Mian about Su Fan in person, would he? Only a fool would tell her the truth.
"Your Highness, please come this way. You can go to the living room and rest for a while." Yun Shengzhi watched Yun Mian leave with Yun Ze. He felt a little worried, but he still served Mu Linyuan respectfully as he headed towards the living room.
On the other side, Yun Xian and Miao Fengxian glared at Yun Miao unwillingly. Yun Xian said, "Just wait for me. I don't believe that Daddy will always agree with you."
"I'm so scared~" Yun Miao rolled her eyes and grabbed another handful of claws from her pocket and continued to knock: "Sister, I've taken note of what you said and will wait and see~"
Then she twisted her waist exaggeratedly and left the arena with Tan Yao.
Yun Xian was so angry that smoke was about to burst from her head. She stamped her legs and glared at Yun Miao's disappearing back, saying, "Mother, why does Father protect her so much? Is it because of her identity as Fu Lian Feng Nu? But now she can't use this identity and can no longer make any contribution to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Father still favors her so much."
When Yun Jian and Yun Wu saw that everyone had dispersed, they quietly retreated, fearing that they would be caught by Miao Fengxian and punished.
Only Miao Fengxian and Yun Xian were left in the arena.
"Your father seems to have had some interactions with the eldest prince recently. Maybe... it's the situation over there." Miao Fengxian guessed.
After all, Yun Mian is no longer favored now. If an "illegitimate daughter" can catch the eldest prince again, it will be to maximize her remaining power.
She knew Yun Shengzhi too well, and it was impossible for him to be so nice to Yun Chun for no reason.
Yun Xian's eyes widened. "Her? How can a crude, ugly, and barbaric girl be qualified to marry into the royal family?"
"Of course she is not qualified. Doesn't the master want to hold a return ceremony for her? Then we will..." Miao Fengxian's face curled up into a venomous smile.
Little did they know that in the shadows, a tall maid in bright yellow left from behind a large tree, followed Yun Miao's direction, and whispered, "Miss, Miao Fengxian is planning to tamper with your homecoming banquet."
"If she doesn't do anything, I'd be bored!" Yun Miao smiled and didn't feel surprised at all.
The maid in yellow clothes is Mei Yao, and now the four of them follow Yun Miao into the mansion.
He Yao usually guards Yun Miao's yard, Tan Yao serves her personally, Mei Yao wanders around and hides among the servants to inquire about all kinds of gossip, and Tao Yao is responsible for transmitting information between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the outside world.
So Mei Yao had been in the dark just now, but no one could see her.
"Then Miss, should we take the initiative?" Tan Yao made a gesture of wiping his neck with a cold expression.
Yun Miao glanced at her, then burst out laughing. "Tan Yao, Tan Yao, today I realized that you, a girl who usually looks so serious, are actually so adorable. The injuries on Yun Qi's body are far more serious than what can be seen with the naked eye! The hidden power you used was not light."
"If he wants to attack you, my master, he must be prepared to pay a price. If he were not your half-brother, Tan Yao would have killed him." Tan Yao was aloof, but he was serious about protecting Yun Miao.
Yun Miao thought of Yun Qi's miserable appearance, and her eyes cooled. "These are just appetizers. It would be too easy for them to attack directly. My mother suffered from poison for months and was eventually dumped in the wilderness. And Sister Lihua was beaten and drowned in a pond... These grudges must be avenged slowly."

"Really? There's something fishy about my mother's death!"
In the pavilion.
After hearing Yun Mian's words, Yun Ze was unable to recover for a long time. Then he smiled a sad and broken smile: "I knew it. How could my mother die suddenly? This must be Miao Fengxian's doing, right?"
Yun Mian knew that if she simply said that Su Fan had died of illness, Yun Ze wouldn't believe her. It would be better to let Yun Ze pursue Miao Fengxian instead, so that Miao Fengxian wouldn't have time to think about her as a pawn.
She didn't want Yun Xian to marry into the Second Prince's house at all.
If she were to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion, she would soon lose her usefulness and would die without even knowing how.
She knew very well that her fate was now controlled by Miao Fengxian's thoughts.
So, she needs allies.
