My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 144 - 68: Mom, Do I Look Like a Thief to You?
[Oh dear, why do I suddenly smell a hint of darkening?]
[Could it be that the Princess turned dark after listening to my mom? If that’s true, it would be fantastic.]
[I’m suddenly quite eager to see how things will unfold next?]
[Mom, if you get any updates about this, you must share them with me, I want to hear it.]
"..."
Xiao Si is really gossipy, but what does darkening even mean?
Lady Yun frowned, a trace of confusion passing through her eyes.
After sending off Princess Jing and her son, she returned to the room and saw that Yun Wanyao had come over at some point and was playing with Yun Wanqing.
"Little sis, why did the Princess suddenly visit our home?"
"Could it be that the Princess is still not giving up and wants little sis to marry her son, so she brought the Little Prince over to nurture some affection?"
Yun Wanyao suddenly recalled that when they last left Prince Jing Mansion, Princess Jing had told Mom to stay in closer touch in the future.
But isn’t that a bit too hasty?
She widened her eyes in disbelief, leaving Yun Wanqing speechless.
[...]
[Sis, what are you thinking? Could you stop letting your imagination run wild?]
[The Princess is here to see Mom, not me, and certainly not to get her little boy to bond with me.]
[Here’s the thing: Didn’t Prince Jing have a mistress and a child? Somehow, that child suddenly disappeared, the mistress was scared out of her wits and went to Prince Jing, then the Princess found out about it.]
[She came to Mom today to vent her grievances.]
[Please, don’t spread any rumors in the future, alright, sis?]
Yun Wanyao: ???
The Princess already knows about this?
And little sis is saying that the mistress’s child suddenly went missing, leading her to Prince Jing Mansion. Could it be that Dad was involved?
That day she told Mom about the Princess’s affairs, surely Mom wouldn’t sit idly by, so it’s likely this has something to do with Dad.
If that’s the case, then Dad sure acted quickly.
Even though she was shocked inside, Yun Wanyao’s face didn’t show it at all, and she deliberately continued the conversation from before.
"Well, even if that’s true, it’s understandable. Who wouldn’t adore my little sis? Even if the Princess likes her, that’s quite normal."
Yun Wanqing: [...]
[Sis, you’re only half right. I am indeed loved by all, but the Princess really didn’t come to our house because of me.]
[Ahhh, if sis keeps misunderstanding like this, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t clear my name.]
[Forget it, if sis wants to misunderstand, let her. It’s not like she means it, and it won’t become real.]
Watching her transition from being frantic to resigned acceptance, Yun Wanyao tried hard to hold in her laughter.
Hahaha, little sis is so amusing!
"Why are you here? Why did you get up so late this morning; you didn’t even have breakfast."
Hearing the unique conversation between the sisters, Lady Yun walked over, took Yun Wanqing into her arms, and looked at Yun Wanyao to ask.
At her words, Yun Wanyao instantly felt guilty. Swallowing nervously, she hugged one of Lady Yun’s arms, pretending to be relaxed and said, "I stayed up a bit late last night, so I couldn’t get up this morning."
"Stayed up late?"
Lady Yun gave her an inquisitive look and after a moment, curiously asked, "Why did you stay up late? Were you up to no good?"
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Heh, the one up to no good isn’t me, it’s your precious son.
Thinking of that young girl at Lan Yue Pavilion gave Yun Wanyao a headache. Who knows how big brother would handle the aftermath, hopefully, no trouble arises.
"No, Mom, do I look like a thief? I can’t climb walls or pick locks, how could I possibly do such a thing?"
"Then why were you up late?"
"Mom, could you not ask? I’m almost of age, and here and there staying up late isn’t a big deal. Besides, I might stay up late in the future too. If I don’t come down for breakfast, don’t wait for me, just have Sister Xiao Tao save some food for me."
Lady Yun: "..."
There’s a justification for staying up late, and even an expectation to save food in her absence. What kind of talk is this?
This is far from the demeanor of someone who should be the head of the household.
What to do in the future?
Thinking about this, it inevitably led to thoughts about the engagement between King Qi and Yun Wanyao, giving Lady Yun an instant headache.
The plot keeps crumbling, and the storyline between King Qi and the female lead is a complete mess, their fates are still unknown, and yet, in just a few months, Yao’er will be having her coming-of-age ceremony.
