My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 369 - 157: She Really Seems to Have Heard It

Chapter 369: Chapter 157: She Really Seems to Have Heard It

Happily, a letter from his sister arrived, but disappointingly, she never mentioned coming back, nor did she talk about the frustrations in her marriage, or ask him to stand up for her.

Lady Yun didn’t say these words, but Yun Chuchu was not foolish and could easily guess.

Because of this, she felt even more guilty.

She cried for a long time until she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

As for Shang Rong, after being scolded by Yun Zheng, she no longer cried or made a fuss. Even when she was emotional, she held it in with grievance, not daring to show it.

To her, Yun Zheng was fierce and scary. If she provoked him, there would be no good consequences.

Seeing the little girl so afraid of him, Yun Zheng was quite satisfied and deliberately put on a stern face to frighten her.

"Behave yourself from now on. Don’t cry or make a fuss in front of your mother, or I’ll hit you. My slaps are very painful, one slap and I could break all your bones, understood?"

At his words, the little girl trembled all over, pouting, with red eyes, nodding in fear.

She understood and wouldn’t dare anymore.

Boo-hoo, there are so many bad people here, one worse than the other. She really wants to go home. Why hasn’t Father come to find her?

At dusk.

Yun Wanqing woke up from a nap, and both Yun Wanye and Yun Wanyao, who had gone out, had returned home, and Yun Rui had also finished school.

The whole family was together, and Lady Yun sat at the table, earnestly instructing them.

"Your aunt has come back and is now sleeping. We’ll start the meal after she wakes up. Tonight, all of us will eat together; no one is allowed to be absent, understood?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, without any objections.

The first meal after Aunt’s return should naturally be eaten together; it was the right thing to do.

"Hmm."

Lady Yun was very pleased with their attitude and nodded slightly before continuing, "And also..."

"Your aunt hasn’t been back in so many years. When you see her later, be enthusiastic, especially Yao’er, understood?"

Yun Wanyao: "..."

How did this arduous task end up on her shoulders?

She had been only six years old when Aunt got married, and Aunt hadn’t returned in so many years that she couldn’t even remember what Aunt looked like. Did she really have to be enthusiastic?

Boo-hoo, couldn’t she just be normal?

"I understand, Mother."

She would try her best.

The meal that evening was eaten in the front hall.

Beforehand, Lady Yun took Yun Wanye, Yun Wanyao, and Yun Rui to see the awakened Yun Chuchu.

The siblings thought that after so many years without seeing Yun Chuchu, they would find her unfamiliar, but they turned out to be wrong.

Upon seeing Yun Chuchu, the two suddenly recalled many forgotten childhood memories.

In the old days, Yun Chuchu and Yun Zhan often took them out. Although Aunt and Seventh Uncle were a generation older, they were not actually that much older in age.

Yun Wanyao recalled how Aunt not only made delicious food for her but also sewed her many beautiful dresses, did her hair in nice styles, and made sure she looked pretty every day.

A sense of closeness welled up in her heart, and Yun Wanyao affectionately took Yun Chuchu’s arm, leaning against her, reminiscing about the past.

Watching this scene, Lady Yun found it amusing but the hour was getting late, and they couldn’t continue chatting.

If they continued, they might not eat dinner tonight.

She looked at Yun Wanyao and said, "Alright, Yao’er, once you start talking, you just can’t stop~"

"It’s late, and everyone is hungry. Let’s go eat first, and you can talk with your aunt another day."

"Oh, alright."

Yun Wanyao reluctantly closed her mouth.

At the dining table, Lady Yun and Yun Zheng sat in the main seats, with Yun Zhan and Yun Chuchu next to them, followed by the younger ones.

Shang Rong sat next to Yun Chuchu, and Yun Rui sat next to Yun Wanye.

Yun Wanye didn’t eat much himself but frequently served dishes to Yun Rui. How gentlemanly for the second son of the Duke Mansion, taking such careful care of the little ones.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

As Yun Wanye handed Yun Rui another chicken wing, Yun Rui looked up and thanked him obediently.

Yun Wanye raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "No need to be polite to your brother. Just tell me whatever you want to eat, and I’ll serve it to you."

There were many people present today, and the dining table was large. Some dishes were far from the little guy, and his arms were short, barely reaching up to the table when he stood, making it difficult for him to serve himself.

"Alright."

Yun Rui nodded.

Watching the harmonious family around the dinner table, Yun Wanqing lay on the soft bed by the window, feeling quite resentful.

[Boo-hoo, everyone is eating, and I’m just watching, I’m so pitiful.]

[Today’s dishes are sumptuous. Some I’ve never even seen in my past life, but they look so delicious, I want to eat them.]

Everyone: "..."

Oh dear, the little one wants to eat again.

She really is gluttonous.

It seems a plan needs to be devised to give her a chance to ’steal’ some flavors.

’Bang!’

Yun Chuchu’s expression suddenly changed, and the chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table, making a clear sound.

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Shang Rong wiped the rice grains from her face, looking up in confusion at her. Yun Chuchu quickly regained her composure, realizing everyone was looking at her.

"Uh, nothing, mom’s fine, Rong’er, keep eating."

She forced a stiff smile and reached out to pat Shang Rong’s head, then turned to look at Yun Zheng and Lady Yun.

Just now, she had again heard the little childlike voice she heard at midday.

This time it didn’t quite seem like an auditory illusion; it really seemed like she heard it.

But her brother and the others all looked normal—what was going on?

Was it that only she could hear it?

But the question was, where exactly was that childlike voice coming from?

Recalling the words spoken by the childlike voice, Yun Chuchu quickly glanced in the direction of Yun Wanqing, a thought forming in her mind that seemed completely fantastical. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Could it be that the voice she was hearing belonged to Xiao Ningning?

[Ah, right, there are so many dishes, definitely, mom and the others won’t finish them all. In the end, they will be fed to the dogs.]

[I’ll release my spiritual power then and take all the flavors away.]

[Yes, yes, it’s decided just like that.]

[Sorry, Doggy, tonight you’re going to have to be deprived, but when I grow up, I’ll make it up to you with lots and lots of yummy treats.]

Completely unaware that her inner thoughts were being overheard, Yun Wanqing was blissfully plotting.

Yun Chuchu picked up a handkerchief to cover her mouth, gently coughed, her eyelids slightly drooped, her heart surging like a tidal wave.

Now she was certain that the childlike voice was indeed Xiao Ningning’s.

How strange; Xiao Ningning was not yet a hundred days old, so how could she hear Xiao Ningning talking?

"Brother, Sister-in-law, have you heard any strange sounds?"

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Yun Chuchu looked up and asked Yun Zheng and Lady Yun tentatively.
