Her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't understand how it could have been leaked when she had kept it so secret.
Who is it?!
Seeing her ferocious expression, the maid trembled like a leaf, a hint of fear in her eyes: "Someone reported to the Jingzhao Prefecture this morning that the princess killed three members of her family and demanded that the princess pay with her life!"
Yun An was shocked, as if struck by lightning. Suddenly, a sense of clarity returned to his mind. It was that family that reported the case.
No, that family clearly perished in the fire, how could this be...?
Did someone survive?
She clenched her fists, her face turning deathly pale. Those incompetent fools, all talk and no action! Weren't they supposed to be dead?!
Where is Cailian now?
The two maids looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It seems that Sister Cailian went out early this morning..."
"That wretched girl, when she returns, this princess will definitely..." Yun An hadn't finished speaking when a eunuch entered through the door. She looked somewhat surprised. "Eunuch Fu?"
The other person gave her a cryptic look: "Princess, His Majesty summons you to the palace!"
In an instant, all the color drained from Yun An's face.
She took a deep breath, slowly calmed herself down, and said in a deliberately calm tone, "Perfect timing, this princess also wants to see the emperor. Let me change my clothes first."
Eunuch Fu kindly reminded her, "Princess, there is an urgent matter at hand. His Majesty may not be able to wait. As for these clothes, it's fine not to change them."
Yun An looked up and stared intently at him, her heart sinking to the bottom.
The fact that they were so eager to summon her to the palace shows how urgent the situation was.
She was terribly panicked; her palms were damp with cold sweat, and her fingertips were icy cold.
Perhaps she was overthinking things. Maybe her father summoned her just to ask her some questions. There was no need for her to panic!
That's right. Her father dotes on her the most. How could he possibly convict her based on just one side of the story?
Having convinced herself, Yun An arrived at the gate of the mansion and saw that she was surrounded by people. The strange looks from the crowd were directed at her, and with them pointing and whispering, her face turned pale.
Why did they look at her like that?
Without any concrete evidence, what right do they have to point fingers at her?
Eunuch Fu ignored this and was already getting impatient: "Princess, get in the carriage."
Yun An bit her lip, but ultimately remained silent and bent down to get into the carriage.
——
On the only way to the palace, Shen Tangning gazed at the carriage bearing the insignia of the Princess's residence, her eyes darkening.
She must be feeling extremely uncomfortable right now, right?
Yun'an has had a smooth and successful life for most of her life, so it's time for her to experience the feeling of being unable to eat or sleep properly.
A picture suddenly flashed into her mind—
When the news of Shen Ci's demotion and his death during a bandit uprising reached Yanjing, she was heartbroken and tried to seek justice for him, but she was met with setbacks everywhere.
Yun'an's carriage happened to pass by. She lifted the curtain and leisurely admired her disheveled appearance, her tone revealing a nonchalant sarcasm:
"In my opinion, this is a good thing, and the Crown Prince's wife doesn't need to be too sad. If I were her, I would have been ashamed to the point of wanting to disappear with such a disgraceful younger brother!"
Shen Tangning raised her bloodshot eyes, while Yun An's smile was glaring.
"Now that he's dead, you no longer have to endure criticism, which is a good thing, don't you think?"
