My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 27: I Want to Annul Chen’er and That Su Family’s Daughter’s Engagement
"Lady, calm your anger~"
Whenever she abandoned her noble woman’s demeanor and called him by his full name, it meant she either had something very important to discuss or she was truly, truly angry.
Yun Zheng pulled her close and kissed her face twice, only to provoke a beautiful struggle in his embrace. However, to him, her strength was no more than an ant trying to shake a tree.
He rested his forehead against hers, his voice low and slow.
"This matter is indeed extraordinary and of great importance. How could I dare to easily announce it? Haven’t you also refrained from mentioning it to me all this time?"
If outsiders discovered Xiao Si’s special traits, it might cause an uproar and bring about disaster.
After all, whether it’s predicting the future or knowing others’ fates, it would be enough to shake Da Wu Country.
Lady Yun knew he wasn’t lying. After all, this had always been her concern, though she still felt uneasy about it.
"But I came to find you today specifically to discuss it with you."
"You’re right, Lady, but I haven’t deceived you. Haven’t I already admitted it? If I intended to deceive you, I could have continued pretending today."
Yun Zheng slightly curled his lips, held her face and pecked her lips a few times.
"Alright, Lady, don’t be angry anymore. I understand the reason you came to find me today."
"Rest assured, Lady, I will arrange everything. Since we already know our fate and have the advantage, I will not let us end with a tragic ’plot twist’."
Finally comforted, Lady Yun slowly nodded, reached out to embrace his waist, burying herself in his arms.
"Alright, but I want to cancel Chen’er and the Su Family’s daughter’s engagement."
"Sure," Yun Zheng smiled indulgently, adopting a ’whatever you say’ attitude, "Everything will be according to your wishes."
"By the way," Lady Yun suddenly remembered something, looking up at him with a face full of concern, "If outsiders discover Xiao Si’s uniqueness, what should we do?"
Xiao Si will inevitably grow up and can’t always be hidden away without meeting outsiders, right?
"Lady, please rest assured~" Yun Zheng whispered soothingly in her ear.
"Through my tests and observations, currently, only you, I, and Ye’er and Yao’er siblings can hear her, so I speculate it might be related to familial ties."
It’s impossible for all the maidservants in the household to be adept at disguise.
For this, I’ve even bought a few young servants and arranged for them to sweep the bedroom in Wan’an Garden a few days ago, allowing these servants to interact closely with Xiao Si, and none of them behaved unusually.
Besides me, that mischievous Yun Wanye and Yao’er each arranged another group to test. Only you haven’t detected anything from beginning to end.
Of course, these three groups of servants might not represent all the outsiders in the world, so I need to continue testing to conclude, but there’s no need to burden you with worries by telling you.
Having obtained a definitive answer, Lady Yun finally felt at ease. After Duke had clung to her affectionately for a while, she returned to Wan’an Garden to accompany Yun Wanqing.
Outside matters are all handled by her husband; she just needs to focus on gathering useful information as much as possible.

Night had fallen.
The streets were less crowded, and lanterns lit up one after another.
Yicui Building was packed with patrons, continuously applauding and cheering.
Suddenly, a thin figure with a panicked expression ran out from inside, hurriedly disappearing into the night.
Feeling burning hot and extremely distressed, Su Qianxue’s legs weakened with panic welling inside her heart. She kept wiping sweat off her forehead with her sleeves.
No matter how foolish, she realized she had unintentionally consumed some filthy thing used for entertainment in the building.
Todayshe sneaked out in male attire, excitedly exploring the Haojing City different from modern cities, finding everything incredibly novel.
Passing by Yicui Building, she noticed the drums and music resounding inside, and out of curiosity stood at the entrance peering in, only to be enthusiastically pulled inside by a girl inviting guests at the door.
Inside the building, not only was there free Oiran shows and dances, but free drinks as well. Many guests embraced beauties, indulging in drinks while enjoying the Oiran’s captivating and alluring dance.
She was engrossed in the show when suddenly a girl inside handed her a cup of wine. Feeling thirsty and seeing several people drinking, she didn’t think much before taking it and gulping it down.
Unexpectedly, these free drinks were actually a dastardly stunt by the brothel to boost sales; they were spiked.
