Yun Chu smiled slightly: "It's just an engagement, we're not actually married!"
Even after bowing to heaven and earth, they might still kill each other.
What binding force can this marriage contract have?
Xie Xuan's eyes turned cold: "If I were to abandon my betrothed and leave, what would outsiders think of me? Yun Chuwei, I can't do such a thing!"
Yun Zheng, who was standing to the side, felt that the atmosphere between Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan was strange.
There seems to be an entanglement and ambiguity between the two, yet it's as if there's an invisible wall separating them.
He hoped his sister could marry someone who loved and cherished her.
Therefore, he said, "Sister, I think that once two people are engaged, they should face many things together. You should let His Highness Prince Xuan stay!"
He was a man, and he knew very well what men were supposed to be like.
A man will only value a woman more if he gives more to her.
This is why things that are easily obtained are not cherished.
Xie Xuan didn't expect Yun Zheng to speak up for him, and he couldn't help but take another look at Yun Zheng.
Yun Chu frowned slightly and said, "However, there is one more thing I would like to ask His Highness Prince Xuan for help with!"
Xie Xuan stared intently: "What is it?"
"Tell Jing'an Temple about our plight, let our mother know!" Yun Chuwei's expression was solemn. "Tell us as tragically as possible about our situation!"
Xie Xuan said slowly, "This matter is not difficult."
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and asked the carriage guard, "Did you hear what Miss Yun said?"
The guard immediately nodded: "I heard you. Tell Madam Yun about your situation, and make your ordeal as tragic as possible! I'll go right away!"
Yun Chuwei nodded to the guard: "Thank you for your trouble!"
"You flatter me, young lady." After saying this, the guard clasped his hands in a fist salute, then vanished in a flash.
At this moment, the people who came to intercept Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng had completely surrounded the area, making it impossible to pass through.
The people outside even started shouting.
"Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng committed patricide and murder, were arrogant and domineering, and their crimes are unforgivable! They should atone with their lives!"
"I will atone with my death!"
...
"Yun Zheng and Yun Chuwei, please die!"
"Please, go to your deaths!"
...
A chorus of shouts rose and fell outside the carriage.
Yun Chuwei listened to the shouts outside, her expression remained calm, and she showed no intention of going out.
Xie Xuan sat beside her, equally silent and composed.
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are we just going to sit here and not go out?"
Yun Chuwei smiled slightly: "Stay put, it's not time for you to show yourself yet!"
What they need to do now is stall for time and wait for their mother to return.
Everything needs to be done step by step; there's no rush!
Although Xie Xuan didn't understand what Yun Chuwei was trying to do, she could guess from her act of sending a letter to He Ning that she was waiting for He Ning to return.
So he waited patiently with her.
After an unknown amount of time, the people outside began to stir.
"Are Yun Chuwei and Yun Zheng really inside the carriage?"
"Why don't we rush up and dismantle that carriage, and see if they can still cower inside like turtles!"
"But those guards are carrying swords!"
...
Despite hearing these discussions, Yun Chuwei remained unmoved.
The people hesitated when they saw the guards with swords standing beside the carriage, and did not rush forward immediately.
After a while, they became restless again.
"What if we charge in? There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of them?"
"That's right! If they hurt us, we'll sue them and make them pay us back!"
"Yes, charge up, take down these guards, and smash the carriage!"
...
Because of instigation, the people's emotions quickly rose and they began to slowly approach the surrounding guards.
Just as the conflict between the common people and the guards was about to erupt, Yun Chuwei glanced at Yun Zheng and said, "Now it's your turn to step in! After you go out, there's no need to say much! Just tell them you're there!"
Yun Zheng couldn't wait to say something and immediately got off the carriage.
He glanced at the crowd and said, "Weren't you looking for me? Here I am! You don't need to make a move, right?"
When the crowd saw Yun Zheng, they stopped in their tracks as they walked toward the guards.
A conflict that was about to erupt was temporarily averted because of Yun Zheng's appearance!
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Where's Yun Chuwei? Tell her to come out! She must be in the carriage, don't let her hide inside! We know she's there!"
"Yun Chuwei! Come out!"
"Get out here! Don't hide!"
...
Shouts and cries echoed over.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei did not react immediately.
It wasn't until those people were about to rush forward again that Yun Chuwei moved her hands and feet, intending to get out of the car.
Seeing this, Xie Xuan reached out and grabbed her wrist, whispering, "I'll go with you!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "You wait here!"
Xie Xuan frowned slightly, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Yun Chuwei.
"You stay in the carriage so we can observe and respond to any emergencies! If all three of us get off, we'll be at a disadvantage!"
Xie Xuan remained silent, but he had to admit that Yun Chuwei's words made sense.
He was on the carriage, and when dealing with an attack, he could also strike unexpectedly.
He released Yun Chuwei's hand.
Yun Chuwei smiled at him and then got off the carriage.
Seeing that Yun Chuwei was still there, the people began to demand that the two of them atone with their deaths!
At this moment, Yun Chuwei raised her voice and said, "We two have not done anything wrong, so why should we atone with our deaths?"
Upon seeing this, the crowd of people began to speak up.
"Isn't patricide wrong?"
"As a son, committing patricide is a crime punishable by divine retribution!"
...
Yun Chuwei said coldly, "In front of the Crown Prince and Prince Xuan, Yun Xian has already admitted that it was just an accident and that my second brother did not kill his father. You still want to use this to force us to our deaths? Is there no law anymore?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt only anger.
"How dare you address your father by his given name? What kind of daughter are you?"
"This is the evidence that you murdered your father!"
"Those two deserve to die!"
...
Yun Chuwei's lips curled slightly, and then she gave Yun Zheng a wink.
Yun Zheng understood, raised his voice, and said, "I'm the one who hurt my father! I acted out of anger and couldn't control myself. But I'm telling you, I have my reasons for doing this! If you want to know why, let my father come out and confront me!"
Yun Chuwei sneered and said, "Even if my second brother really killed Yun Xian, he wouldn't be wronged for what he did! You know nothing, yet you come out to fight for such a person. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
