“Sister, do you not realize the seriousness of this matter?” Yun Zheng frowned, looking at Yun Chuwei with a solemn expression. “If His Majesty truly believes these words and cancels your engagement with Prince Xuan, then you will be forever branded as a jinx, and no one will ever come to propose marriage again!”
My sister might end up alone because of this.
Yun Chu smiled and said slowly, "You said it yourself, things only got this bad because His Majesty believed it. If His Majesty doesn't believe it, then aren't they just clowns?"
Yun Zheng frowned; he didn't quite understand why his sister was so confident.
"What if His Majesty takes it seriously?"
"Unless His Majesty is blind!" Guiyan suddenly said. Her young lady was such a good person, how could she be a jinx?
Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng both looked at the returning geese.
Guiyan realized what was happening and immediately covered her mouth.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Yun Chuwei nodded seriously: "Fortunately, you only said it here. If you had said it outside, I'm afraid everyone in the Marquis's mansion would have lost their heads!"
Guiyan covered her mouth even tighter, and mumbled out a sentence: "This servant will not dare to speak carelessly again!"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Gui Yan: "You know that's good! Be careful what you say!"
At other times, the returning geese would distinguish themselves by their heights.
This time, however, she remained silent.
Yun Chu smiled and reached out to pat Guiyan's head: "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue!"
Yun Zheng was very satisfied with Guiyan's attentive listening to the instructions, but he was still worried when he thought about the matter in the letter.
Yun Chuwei comforted Yun Zheng for a few moments, told him to get some rest, and then left.
-
Yun Chuwei guessed that Xie Xuan sent her the letter because he was busy during the day.
Therefore, she planned to go find Xie Xuan after dinner.
She hadn't expected to see Xie Xuan outside the window before she had even finished her meal.
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "I was thinking of coming to find you later, but I didn't expect you to come first?"
Xie Xuan pursed his lips slightly upon hearing Yun Chuwei's words, and then said, "If you want to see me, just have them tell you! But what do you want with me?"
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "I just wanted to ask you, what are your thoughts on the 'jinx' thing? Xie Xuan, if you want to cancel..."
Xie Xuan interrupted Yun Chuwei anxiously, "No!"
"Hmm?" Yun Chuwei was a little puzzled!
"Yun Chuwei, you are not a jinx! Our marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, and you can forget about annuling it!" Xie Xuan said earnestly, looking at Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei met Xie Xuan's firm and focused gaze and was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't Xie Xuan harboring resentment towards her because of what happened in their previous life, and wanted to kill her?
Logically, he should have taken this opportunity to get rid of the marriage agreement with her.
Why is he so insistent?
Yun Chuwei thought this way and asked it aloud.
Hearing this, Xie Xuan turned her head away, feeling somewhat guilty.
He did hate her, but also...
He didn't want to tell Yun Chuwei that she had saved him and the Crown Prince.
Therefore, I don't want to talk about this topic.
"In short, you're not a jinx, I won't cancel the engagement! Also, Father wants you to confront him in the Imperial Study tomorrow! I'll come to pick you up tomorrow!"
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he vanished in a flash.
Yun Chuwei: ...
Why is this person running so fast?
-
The next day, Xie Xuan came to pick up Yun Chuwei on time.
Soon, Yun Chuwei arrived outside the Imperial Study, led by Xie Xuan.
At this time, a number of people had already gathered outside the Imperial Study.
This includes Yue He and Yun Xian.
When Yue He saw Yun Chuwei, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yun Chuwei, you actually dare to come before the Emperor?"
Yun Chu glanced at Yue He but didn't reply. Instead, she reached out and tugged at Xie Xuan's sleeve, her voice low and gentle: "Your Highness, I don't quite understand what Lord Yue is saying. Does coming to the Emperor mean you can simply not come if you're afraid? Also, is Lord Yue asking this because he's afraid to come to the Emperor? Why wouldn't he dare?"
Xie Xuan looked down at the girl's fair fingers pinching his sleeve, and felt a slight stirring in his heart.
He felt that Yun Chuwei was acting very strangely at this moment, but he couldn't resist Yun Chuwei like this.
He said gently, "You came because Father Emperor sent you. Lord Yue wouldn't dare, perhaps because he's done too many wrong things!"
The two appeared to be whispering, but those nearby could easily hear them.
Upon hearing Xie Xuan's words, Yue He angrily retorted, "Your Highness, please watch your words!"
Xie Xuan's icy gaze swept over Yue He: "Lord Yue, have you been careful with your words?"
Yue He frowned when he saw Xie Xuan protecting Yun Chuwei so much.
Their purpose in doing all this was to break off Yun Chuwei's engagement with Xie Xuan. If Xie Xuan wholeheartedly protects Yun Chuwei, their plan will fail!
Yue He adjusted his breathing, smiled slightly, and said, "Indeed, I misspoke! However, I am also worried about His Highness Prince Xuan! There are rumors in the capital that Yun Chuwei is a jinx. Now that she is so close to His Highness Prince Xuan, what if she harms him?"
Under Yue He's gaze, Yun Chuwei hid behind Xie Xuan.
She adopted a low, dejected expression, her voice weak and lacking confidence: "Your Highness, I am not a jinx. I don't know why they all say I'm a jinx, but I really am not! You must believe me!"
Xie Xuan: ...
He had never seen Yun Chuwei speak like that before.
She was clearly putting on an act.
But he couldn't bear to expose her.
He even willingly cooperated with her.
