My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 384 - 166: Playing Dead Is Less Embarrassing_3

She pressed her lips together, and for a moment, she felt that anywhere her gaze fell seemed inappropriate, because wherever she looked, she would always meet a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

After a moment, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

[Forget it, forget it, I’ll pretend to be dead. Pretending to be dead doesn’t feel awkward.]

[Let them look, let them take a good look, when they’ve had their fill, they’ll stop looking.]

Yun Wanchen: "..."

He glanced around, and sure enough, he saw that everyone’s eyes seemed to wish they could grow on his little sister; with so many eyes on her, no wonder she felt so pressured.

Just as he was about to speak, a cheerful voice sounded beside him.

"Oh, is this our little young miss? Her brows and eyes are very similar to the Young Master, truly adorable."

The speaker was Lu Wu; he stretched his neck, and his charming, peach blossom eyes fell on the little one with closed eyes, gazing with interest.

Tsk, the master’s little cotton-padded jacket, looking pink, soft, and glutinous, just like a glutinous rice dumpling, so cute that it made his heart ache; he really wanted to steal her away.

"Yes, yes, I also see that the little young miss looks quite similar to the Young Master..."

"..."

The other Military Generals echoed, their eyes gradually growing fervent.

Such a small little one, truly hard to resist doting upon, and this little one before them was exceptionally striking, making these tough men wish they could hold her and cherish her.

Listening to the myriad voices in her ear, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but crack open an eye to sneak a glance at this group of burly men.

[That man, handsome and charming, with expressive brows, must be my father’s Assistant General, Lu Wu.]

[The name Lu Wu is taken from the deity of Kunlun in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas." He is devotedly loyal to Father, but unfortunately, he didn’t meet with a good end in the end.]

[After Father’s death, all military power in his hands was taken over by King Qi. King Qi is inherently suspicious, not trusting anyone except his ordained official partner, Su Qianxue.]

[Therefore, after taking over Father’s military power, he was suspicious day after day, always thinking these soldiers, trained single-handedly by Father, would only swear undying loyalty to him, even after Father’s death, they wouldn’t truly submit to him.]

[Perhaps because of Su Qianxue’s involvement in causing Father’s death makes him guilty, there’s always unease in his heart, constantly suspecting the soldiers might rebel someday.]

[He suspected they would avenge Father and bring disaster and turmoil to Su Qianxue and Da Wu Country’s empire.]

[Driven by such unease, after pondering for a while, he decided to eliminate this troop to thoroughly remove any future threat.]

[Thus, during border unrest, he seized the opportunity to decree Father’s subordinates to quell the border turmoil.]

[Seemingly to quell the turmoil, but actually to send them as cannon fodder.]

[Dispatching the soldiers to fight, yet deliberately withholding provisions and pay, the border had rations for only less than ten days; from the start, he didn’t plan for this troop to survive.]

[Several generals were not fools; realizing there’s no sign of provisions, they understood King Qi’s true nature and, in anger, led the soldiers in rebellion.]

[The soldiers swiftly captured three cities, claiming the mountains as their throne; if it could always be like this, it wouldn’t be so bad.]

[But alas, they encountered sister...]

[These soldiers eventually were nearly wiped out, of course, some narrowly escaped, Lu Wu is one of them.]

[However, he escaped but didn’t completely get away.]

[Because he foolishly ran back to find his old lover.]

[But he didn’t know, his old lover, Miss Cui Ning, was already bribed by Su Qianxue; as soon as he appeared, he was captured by Su Qianxue’s people and ultimately hacked to death.]

[Alas, pathetic, truly pathetic...] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Yun Wanqing sighed several times inwardly and moved her gaze to the other Military Generals.

These people were with Lu Wu, their fates were similarly bleak; half of them were lured out and killed by Pei Yu using Yun Wanyao.

The other portion, some followed Yun Zhan and were killed along with him, and some died when the army sent by King Qi broke down their occupied cities.

Yun Wanchen raised his head and looked at every person Yun Wanqing mentioned in her heart.

He already knew, as part of the Yun Family Army, their fate wouldn’t be good after the Yun Family’s downfall, but he never imagined these people would nearly all be dead.

These were all meritorious and good generals for Da Wu Country, born and died for Da Wu Country, having rendered illustrious services.

Yet in the end, because of Mo Yuanhao’s suspicion, they were forced into rebellion, turning from meritorious officials to treacherous renegades meeting unfortunate ends.
