Yun Lianhua asked Yun Chuwei this question because she knew many ears were listening to their conversation. She hoped to spread the word that Yun Chuwei was unfilial.
After all, she felt that as long as Yun Chuwei made the suggestion, she would definitely be able to go with He Ning.
Yun Chuwei didn't go, which must mean she didn't want to go.
Yun Chuwei did not answer Yun Lianhua's question. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why aren't you going? Is it because you don't want to go?"
Yun Lianhua's face turned pale and then flushed.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go; it was that He Ning was no longer close to her and wouldn't let her come along.
But she couldn't say it directly.
She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Of course I wanted to go, but my mother said she was going to listen to the master's lecture and was worried I would be too bored. In addition, my mother wanted to rest and recuperate, so she didn't let me go!"
Yun Chuwei glanced at Yun Lianhua and said in a calm voice, "Me too!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Lianhua nearly ground her teeth to powder.
She originally wanted to accuse Yun Chuwei of being unfilial, but Yun Chuwei didn't play by the rules at all, which made her explain for a long time.
She was furious.
As Yun Lianhua was thinking, she suddenly saw a carriage driving towards them.
The carriage was clearly designed for royalty.
In addition, she had ridden in the Crown Prince's carriage many times, so she was quite certain that it was Xie Sheng's carriage.
Yun Lianhua's mood immediately improved considerably.
She spoke softly, "Sister, look, the Crown Prince's carriage is here. Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince coming to fetch you? After all... His Majesty once wanted to betroth you to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow slightly: "I don't know who His Highness the Crown Prince is here to pick up, but I do know that this carriage is for pigs and dogs! Anyone who rides in this thing is no different from a pig or a dog!"
Yun Lianhua: ...
She knew perfectly well that the carriage couldn't possibly be there to pick up Yun Chuwei. She said this to annoy Yun Chuwei, but she hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to say something like that.
She was absolutely furious.
She gritted her teeth and finally said, "Even if His Highness the Crown Prince refused the marriage, Sister, you don't need to talk about him like this. If someone with ulterior motives reports this to the Emperor, it could cause a great disaster."
Yun Chuwei said coolly, "If you want to participate, then go ahead. But let me remind you, we're family. Any disrespect will result in the extermination of your entire clan, and none of us will survive!"
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Yun Lianhua watched Yun Chuwei's departing figure, her teeth itching with hatred.
At this moment, the carriage stopped in front of Yun Lianhua.
When Yun Lianhua saw Xie Sheng lift the curtain, she immediately bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xie Sheng quickly said, "Lian'er, get up quickly."
Yun Lianhua stood up and said in a low voice, "Is Your Highness here to see my sister? She just went in!"
Xie Sheng turned his head to look at the entrance of the Marquis's residence and, sure enough, saw Yun Chuwei's figure disappear inside the gate.
He tightened his grip on the carriage curtain, and his expression turned grim.
Yun Chuwei must have seen his carriage, yet she left without a word. This is simply outrageous!
Yun Lianhua continued understandingly, "Your Highness, should I call my sister back?"
Xie Sheng withdrew his gaze and put on a smiling expression: "I didn't come to see her, I came to see you! I heard you've been in a bad mood lately, so I thought I'd take you out for some fun!"
Yun Lianhua feigned delight and said, "Your Highness, did you really come here specifically to see me?"
Xie Sheng looked at Yun Lianhua, his heart softening.
His Lian'er was so simple; just coming to her made her so happy.
In this life, he will definitely protect his Lian'er and will never let Yun Chuwei do anything to harm Lian'er.
“Of course I came here specifically to find you. Come on up, I’ll take you somewhere.” Xie Sheng stretched out his hand and said to Yun Lianhua.
Yun Lianhua, beaming with joy, handed her hand to Xie Sheng.

Yun Chuwei returned to her courtyard and saw Guiyan watering the flowers.
At the same time, she heard a faint noise coming from her room.
She asked the returning geese, "Who's in my room?"
Guiyan shook her head: "No, Guilan and Julan are busy."
Yun Chuwei nodded and walked towards her room.
She pushed open the door and saw Xie Xuan leaning against her window.
His eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a sense of fatigue in his expression.
The window framed the view of the courtyard, making the peerless man seem like a celestial being in the painting.
Yun Chuwei walked over, reached out, flicked his head, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
Xie Xuan opened her eyes, her eyes filled with weariness.
Upon seeing Yun Chuwei, he immediately turned around.
He didn't really know why he came here. He just felt very tired and wanted to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.
Before he knew it, he had arrived here.
At this moment, Yun Chuwei asked him what was wrong, but he couldn't answer.
Actually, nothing happened to him.
He didn't know how to explain his presence there, so he decided to leave.
Yun Chuwei grasped Xie Xuan's hand through the window.
She didn't quite understand why this person was suddenly leaving again.
"I'm asking you a question! Why are you running away?" she pulled him back and asked.
Xie Xuan turned around and met Yun Chuwei's gaze. His voice was a little hoarse, and seemed to carry a hint of grievance.
"I don't know why I need to talk to you."
Yun Chu was slightly taken aback. Should she listen to what this person was saying?
She looked at Xie Xuan and asked in a low voice, "How long has it been since you rested?"
The person in front of me looked exhausted, as if they hadn't rested in a long time.
The weariness and deathly stillness emanating from him seemed to come from his very bones, making one feel somewhat uneasy.
Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "Have you not had a full night's sleep since the day you found Daoist Jiwu?"
Xie Xuan nodded.
Yun Chuwei continued, "How's the investigation going?"
Actually, she already had a guess in her mind when she asked that question.
If everything had gone smoothly, Xie Xuan wouldn't be in this state.
Seeing Xie Xuan lean back against the window without saying a word, she knew her guess was correct.
"There's no way to investigate further, is there?" she asked, releasing Xie Xuan's hand.
Xie Xuan moved her hand, only to feel an emptiness in her heart.
He whispered, "We can't investigate! The families of those three girls have withdrawn their lawsuit!"
He was very close to the truth, and he was about to bring that person to justice.
However, the families of the three girls withdrew their lawsuits and changed their story.
They said their daughter had acted impulsively and committed suicide by jumping into the water.
He also said that his daughters left suicide notes, proving that their deaths had nothing to do with anyone else.
They not only withdrew their lawsuit against Yue Jingsheng, but also apologized to him.
Since no one filed a lawsuit, the case naturally fell through.
