Li Ping said earnestly, "This trip back to the capital is my second son's first time traveling far from home alone, and it's also his first time in the capital. There are many things he has never handled on his own, and he knows nothing about officialdom. I'm afraid he'll need Miss Yun's guidance!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan frowned and tightened his grip on Yun Chuwei's hand.
When he heard yesterday that Li Yuanmu was going back to the capital with them, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Now, upon hearing Li Ping ask Yun Chuwei to take care of Li Yuanmu, Xie Xuan couldn't help but recall the time when Li Yuanmu confessed his feelings to Yun Chuwei.
He didn't want Yun Chuwei to get close to Li Yuanmu, and he especially didn't want her to care about Li Yuanmu.
But these were all matters concerning Yun Chuwei, and he couldn't say much about them.
Yun Chuwei sensed Xie Xuan's emotional fluctuations and subtly curled the corners of her lips.
Is this person jealous again?
She ignored him and said to Li Ping, "General Li, don't worry, I will find someone to keep an eye on the Second Young Master! As long as the Second Young Master trusts me, my people will definitely ensure that the Second Young Master is safe and sound."
Li Yuanmu immediately replied, "Of course I am, Miss Xinyun."
Yun Chu nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Yun!" After Li Ping finished speaking, he saw that Yun Chuwei's expression was indifferent, and knew that Yun Chuwei did not like his second son at all.
He felt he needed to find a way to improve his second son's favorability.
He thought for a moment, then said to Yun Chuwei, "Well, there's something I want to confess to Miss Yun and apologize for. I hope that Miss Yun won't be angry with me after hearing it!"
Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Since General Li wants to be frank with me and admit his mistake, and this matter hasn't affected me, I naturally won't be angry! General Li, please speak!"
Li Ping was very satisfied with Yun Chuwei's promise and said, "I had a momentary lapse of judgment during my two days here. I had a wrong idea, which was to forcibly keep Miss Yun here and not allow her to leave!"
Li Ping glanced at Yun Chuwei as she spoke, noticing that she was listening intently, nodding occasionally, with a faint smile on her face, but not saying a word.
Clearly, Yun Chuwei was not angry.
Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You can't blame me for having such thoughts, after all, Miss Yun alone is worth a thousand troops! Later, it was my second son..."
"Father!" Upon hearing this, Li Yuanmu roughly understood why his father had brought this up, and thus interrupted Li Ping.
Zhang Gong and Li Yuanyi didn't understand why Li Ping brought this up; wasn't this just exposing themselves?
But upon hearing this, the two understood.
Li Ping brought this up because of Li Yuanmu.
After all, they all knew that Li Yuanmu had confessed his feelings to Miss Yun and been rejected by her.
Li Pingbai glanced at Li Yuanmu, who had interrupted him, and said, "Don't interrupt when the master is speaking!"
Li Yuanmu lowered his head and stopped speaking. He knew his father meant well, but he didn't want it to be this way.
Li Ping smiled at Yun Chu and said, "It was my second son who stopped me from having this idea. He even scolded me. It was only then that I realized my mistake. Just like my second son said, if I really did such a thing, I would be ungrateful and worse than a pig or a dog!"
As Li Ping spoke, he bowed again to Yun Chuwei and said earnestly, "Please forgive me for having such thoughts, Miss Yun!"
Li Ping felt that he was truly great, having revealed his dark thoughts in order to help his second son create a noble image.
This would undoubtedly damage his image in Miss Yun's eyes!
But he didn't care anymore!
He felt that Miss Yun would definitely look at her second son with new respect after hearing this, and might even be moved by his actions.
This way, his second son will have a chance!
Perhaps next time his second son expresses his feelings to Miss Yun, she will agree.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Chuwei with a leisurely air, hoping to see on her face an expression of being moved by what his second son had done.
However, the expression he wanted to see did not appear on Yun Chuwei's face.
Yun Chuwei always had a faint smile on her face, just like the plain wildflowers hidden in the grass when spring returns to the earth.
Li Ping frowned slightly, somewhat unable to fathom Yun Chuwei's thoughts.
After hearing such words, is this young lady still unmoved by her second son?
Or perhaps the young lady didn't understand what he was saying?
Yun Chuwei naturally understood, and she also guessed why Li Ping said those words.
But she was never the type to be led by the nose.
She said slowly, "General Li, you don't need to feel sorry for your thoughts. You only had the idea, but didn't carry it out. It is said that a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. If you feel sorry because of a thought, then I am truly ashamed. Because I have indeed done some bad things to you!"
Li Ping stared at Yun Chuwei in astonishment, even more confused about what she meant.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "On the morning the city fell, I poisoned the general, the two young masters, and of course, Mr. Zhang! This poison won't cause pain, but it's truly deadly. Under normal circumstances, it will take effect in five days, and once it does, even a god can't save you. Judging by the time, it'll be tomorrow!"
The Li brothers: ...
Zhang Gong: ...
Li Ping: ...
Can someone translate what Yun Chuwei meant?
Is he confessing, or is Miss Yun confessing?
Looking at the four people with pale faces, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "General Li, don't worry. As long as you take the antidote before tomorrow, you'll be fine."
Li Ping's lips twitched; he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.
He wondered if Yun Chuwei would give them the antidote.
Yun Chuwei continued, "I've left the antidote outside the city. General Li will send someone with me out of the city to bring the antidote back to you. Take the antidote, and you won't die! It's a matter of life and death, so please send someone reliable!"
Li Ping's brow twitched, and he had no choice but to agree.
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, which could be considered a return gift to the group.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Yun Chuwei led Xie Xuan toward the carriage.
Xie Xuan followed behind Yun Chuwei, the corners of his mouth under the mask curving into a perfect smile.
After Yun Chuwei pulled him into the carriage, she sensed that he seemed to be smiling.
She reached out and removed his mask, revealing his unconcealed smile.
Yun Chuwei looked at him, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you very happy?"
Xie Xuan pulled her into his arms, encircled her, and replied contentedly, "Mmm!"
