My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 23: She Complains the Yang Family and Xu Qingqing Have Too Many Heads
Yang Xin’er was left behind and settled in the outer residence.
This matter reached Yun Zheng’s ears that night, and the next morning he informed Lady Yun.
"Husband, you said that Vice Minister Lin is an official of the court. By just placing someone in an outer residence like this, isn’t he afraid of ruining his reputation and losing his position if this gets out? Why is he doing this?"
Lady Yun found it strange, as most people in such situations would avoid suspicion, yet Lin Wei’an did the opposite.
Is he tired of being an official?
Ever since returning from the border, although she had never paid attention to Lin Wei’an, she had heard that the Lady of the Lin Family was not a kind person.
Yun Zheng stroked his chin, squinted his eyes, and leisurely shared his insights.
"The logic that my lady can understand, naturally the Lin fellow also understands. Yet, he still took the risk to leave her behind. I believe either he is being blackmailed with something, or Yang Xin’er is of use to him."
Upon hearing this, Lady Yun’s mind was flooded with thoughts.
Compared to "useful," she felt the former possibility was greater. The two of them had been corresponding for over a year, which in itself could be considered a leverage.
A dignified Vice Minister of the Secretariat having an affair with a colleague’s wife through letters—if this leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Husband, Yang Xin’er is using my name. If this really gets out..."
Lady Yun’s face paled a bit.
If Yang Xin’er were to die, then the matter would die with her as there would be no evidence, leaving her to bear the blame alone. Therefore, she must send the person to Lin Wei’an to clear things up, thus freeing herself from guilt.
Clearly, Yang Xin’er had already become a potential threat, ready to bring endless trouble to her and the Duke Mansion at any time.
Yun Zheng held her hand, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her.
"Don’t worry, I have already handled this matter properly. If I truly feared she would spill the beans, would I let her out?"
All evidence had been destroyed by him, and besides, he still held Yang Xin’er’s written confession in his hand. He didn’t believe that woman would dare to slander Duchess Ning.
Unless she thinks the Yang Family and Xu Qingqing have too many heads.
"That’s good."
Hearing this, Lady Yun finally felt some relief.
Since the day she heard Xiao Si’s inner thoughts during childbirth, she had destroyed all personal items with her maiden name.
When Yang Xin’er and her daughter were sent away, they were thoroughly searched to ensure nothing was taken away, so there should be no loopholes.
"Mm, everything is under my control. No matter what mischief those two are scheming, they won’t succeed. Rest assured, my lady~"
Yun Zheng kissed her face, softly comforted her a couple of times, and suddenly inquired about Yun Wanqing.
"By the way, when can Xiao Si be brought back home?"
"Why? Is husband going out?"
Lady Yun’s expression instantly changed, looking at him with reluctant eyes, which amused Yun Zheng, making him curve his lips, speaking tenderly with indulgence.
"My lady is indeed smart, guessing correctly in one try."
"There are matters in the military camp that require my attention. I’ll be away for two or three days. Once I’m done, I’ll rush back immediately. These two days, I entrust you to take care of yourself and Xiao Si."
Hearing that there were matters at the camp, Lady Yun couldn’t insist on keeping him, so she sent a maid to the nursemaid to bring over the Fourth Miss.
In the meantime, she leaned against Yun Zheng’s chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and gently bid farewell.
"Husband, take care of your health outside, don’t worry about home, I have everything under control here."
"Mm, good~"
Looking at the beautiful and gentle woman in his arms, Yun Zheng’s throat went dry. He held back again and again, and finally couldn’t resist kissing those mesmerizing pink lips.
He kissed her with strong passion and urgency. Lady Yun couldn’t resist, letting out a soft moan and melting in his embrace.
It wasn’t until a maid announced from outside that Lady Yun suddenly woke up, forcefully pushing him away, and frantically tidied her hair and clothes.
The culprit, however, looked at her with a dangerously smug expression, his slightly narrowed eyes dark and intense, enough to make anyone blush and heart race.
Thus, when permission was granted, and Yun Wanqing was carried in by the nursemaid, she noticed her beautiful mother looking somewhat out of sorts.
[Huh, why are mom’s cheeks red, her eyes moist, and looking like she’s been... played with?]
[Could it be, when I was brought in, dad and mom...]
[Hehehe, I get it, I get it. Seems I came at the wrong time, interrupting dad and mom’s tenderness.]
Yun Wanqing grinned mischievously, instantly making Lady Yun’s face flush to her neck, her heart pounding erratically, blaming Yun Zheng furiously in her heart.
But more than anything, she felt shy.
Sigh, it’s one thing that her daughter understands so much, but to be silently teased by her—what should she do in the future?
Compared to her, Yun Zheng was much thicker-skinned, looking perfectly natural, not feeling awkward at all.
He smiled and lifted Yun Wanqing into his arms, giving her soft little face a kiss.
"Xiao Si, daddy is going out, so I won’t be able to hold you for the next two days. When I return, I’ll come to see you right away. You must be obedient, drink your milk well and sleep well, and don’t disturb your mom, alright?"
[Got it, got it, don’t worry dad, I will be very good, and won’t disturb mom’s rest. Dad, you should also take care and be safe~]
Even though she knew dad couldn’t hear her thoughts, Yun Wanqing still earnestly replied in her mind.
Halfway through her response, she suddenly remembered something serious, and her expression changed dramatically.
[Wait, is dad going out today? Oh no, oh no, he must be going back to the camp, dad is going to be in trouble.] 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
What?
Husband is going to be in trouble?
Lady Yun’s expression shifted slightly, immediately disregarding her shyness, as all her attention focused on Yun Wanqing’s inner voice, even subtly perking up her ears.
Even Yun Zheng’s expression changed slightly, though he quickly regained his composure, without anyone noticing.
[The book said that dad went back to the camp once during mom’s confinement and encountered an assassination near Red Willow Slope.]
[Though the assassination failed, dad was heavily injured due to being unprepared, and his health never fully recovered, being tormented by illness for many years.]
[As a result, when he returned to the battlefield later, dad was far less brave than before, gradually losing his reputation in the camp, allowing the female lead and the great traitor to take advantage.]
[Sigh, although I can cure dad’s old wounds after I grow up, the problem is dad can’t wait for me to grow up.]
[By the time I grow up, the whole Yun Family will be doomed. What should I do?]
[No, I must come up with a way to stop dad from going to the camp.]
[I’ve already tried crying with Second Brother last time; crying too miserably apparently doesn’t work.]
[This time, I’ll use some drastic measure then, like holding my breath, tsk tsk tsk—lucky for me, I have full skills from my past life; otherwise, I’d be at a complete loss in such situations.]
