My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 282 - 118: The Teachings of Sages Are Wasted on a Dog

In the quiet, secluded alleys, a carriage slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, a peanut flew over and hit the coachman on the head. His consciousness darkened, and he fell straight from the carriage.
The unexpected incident startled the horse, which neighed and then galloped rapidly down the street.
The horse was running too fast, causing the carriage to bump violently.
Yun Wanyao held tightly onto the carriage wall’s handrail, feeling dizzy and nauseous. She crouched on the floor, her eyes filled with fear and unease.
What happened?
Why did the carriage suddenly go out of control?
Where is the coachman?
Forcing herself to endure the discomfort and fear, she shouted loudly for the coachman outside, but received no response for a long time.
The coachman must have been in an accident.
Yun Wanyao was shocked and lifted the curtain to call for help outside.
"Is anyone there, help, anyone..."
"Ah..."
Suddenly, the carriage swayed violently. She lost her grip and was thrown to the ground painfully, half of her body went numb, followed by a wave of sharp pain that brought tears to her eyes.
Bam!
The carriage swayed again, throwing her half a meter, her forehead hit the carriage wall, and she almost got tossed out.
Yun Wanyao was terrified beyond measure. Ignoring the intense pain, she struggled to balance herself and grabbed the handrail again when the carriage became relatively stable, sticking her head out to look outside.
"Help, help, save me..."
In a brief moment, the carriage had passed through a street. Fortunately, there weren’t many people around, and they quickly dodged aside, preventing any harm.
However, the horse was scared, and no one dared to step forward and stop it.
Yun Wanyao’s vision was blurring, and just as she was about to despair, a dark blue figure appeared out of nowhere, leaping after the carriage from the building’s entrance.
He leapt onto the horse’s back steadily.
The horse neighed at the sudden weight on its back, running while trying to shake off the rider.
But clearly, the rider was a skilled horseman, clamping his legs tightly against the horse’s belly, pulling the reins forcefully to slow it.
Before long, the horse was calmed down, its speed gradually slowing to a walk.
The carriage finally stabilized.
The man soothingly patted the horse’s head, released the reins, and jumped off gracefully onto the carriage shaft before lifting the curtain to look inside.
Yun Wanyao, teary-eyed, looked up to see a tall and familiar figure standing by the carriage door. She was slightly stunned, her lips parted to call out, but before she could, everything went black, and she fainted, collapsing softly to the ground.
The man’s gaze darkened as he walked over and picked her up.

At night, the Duke Ning Mansion was brightly lit.
Yun Wanqing lay in Lady Yun’s arms, sighing in her heart.
{Oh, it’s already dark, yet my sister hasn’t come to see me. As expected, her earlier promise to visit was just idle talk.}
{Never mind, I’m getting sleepy. I should sleep. Perhaps when I wake up, I will see my sister, as beautiful as a fairy.}
As these thoughts subsided, she began to snore lightly, clearly asleep, but her little hand still tightly gripped Lady Yun’s clothing.
Lady Yun gently patted her, then called for a maid once Yun Wanqing was asleep to fetch Yun Wanyao.
The little one had been thinking about her sister all day, yet her sister hadn’t visited once, which was quite excessive.
The maid quickly left and returned shortly, panting.
"Reporting to madam, the servant went to call Miss at Dream Building Residence. Sister Hua Wu said Miss went to the Princess Mansion and hasn’t returned yet."
Not back yet?
Lady Yun was slightly stunned, instinctively turning to look out the window where the sky was already very dark.
Her brows furrowed, suddenly recalling Yun Wanqing’s earlier thoughts, unease abruptly flitting through her heart.
"Tell the steward to send someone to the Princess Mansion to bring Miss back."
"Yes."
The maid withdrew once more.
Holding the sleeping child, Lady Yun’s unease grew stronger.
Yao’er can be arrogant and rebellious at times, but she knew the rules and limits, rarely doing something as outrageous as staying out so late.
Hopefully, nothing has happened.
Hopefully, it’s just her overthinking. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Her gaze shifted to Yun Wanqing’s face, Lady Yun gently touched her cheek, sighing softly.
"Xiao Si, mama hopes your earlier suspicions are false. May you and your sister always be happy together."
