My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 388 - 168: An Undistinguished Family Background
Lady Yun offered a toast, and all the other women, except for the Yun Family members, quickly raised their glasses in response.
Meanwhile, Yun Wanqing was held in her sister’s arms, tilting her head with a curious look at Yun Chuchu.
[Auntie is acting too strangely.]
[Why would she suddenly inquire about Sister Yin Shuang’s private matters on such an occasion?]
What else could it be?
It must be because she’s read her mind and wants to screen for Yun Zhan.
Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao knew this well but neither showed any emotion, pretending not to hear her thoughts.
Yun Chuchu’s face flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She indeed shouldn’t have inquired about the girl’s private affairs in front of so many people, as it appeared impolite and presumptuous.
Her sister-in-law timely intervened to divert the topic, just to help the girl out of the awkward situation, and Yun Chuchu was aware of all this.
This incident truly showed that she was too anxious.
However, what she asked wasn’t something very secretive, so why couldn’t it be discussed?
Thinking of this, Yun Chuchu’s heart sank.
There’s a high possibility that this girl’s background is not something she can proudly present.
With rounds of drinks flowing.
The men in the neighboring rooms drank with great enthusiasm, with sounds of dice and bragging continuously in the air.
On this side, Lady Yun and the women chatted appropriately, with each maintaining just the right amount of discretion.
Yun Chuchu listened quietly to their conversation, and finally, after a long time, found an opportunity to speak.
She clutched a handkerchief and spoke softly, "Sister-in-law, Rong’er is having a fever, and I feel uneasy leaving her side. I want to go back and check on her."
In fact, there was a maid attending to Shang Rong, but Yun Chuchu felt uneasy and wanted to personally keep an eye on her.
"Alright."
Lady Yun did not insist on her staying, calling a maid to escort her back.
[Aunt really cares about that impostor. I wonder, when she finds out that’s not her biological daughter, what will her reaction be?]
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Well, about this matter...
Aunt can certainly hear the little sister’s inner voice, but judging by her attitude towards Shang Rong, she might not really believe the little sister’s thoughts.
I’m afraid only when Father thoroughly investigates the truth and presents the evidence to Aunt, will she believe it.
At that time, only heaven knows what Aunt’s reaction will be.
Yun Wanyao frowned seriously in thought, as Yun Wanqing’s voice continued to echo in her mind.
[Alas, what does this have to do with me?]
[I better not waste my brain cells on this; instead of thinking about these useless things, why not take this chance to admire Sister Yin Shuang’s beauty?]
[After all, it’s not easy to see Sister Yin Shuang often.]
[Sister Yin Shuang, since you like my Seventh Uncle, go for it bravely, otherwise with your slow progress, how long will I have to wait to see a sweet couple?]
[Ahhhh, according to the plot’s pace, it might take at least a few more years for Seventh Uncle to realize his feelings for Sister Yin Shuang.]
[Tch, it’s really a waste of those prime years, I’m really anxious for you both.]
The journey from Qing Garden to Wan’an Garden is quite far, and there are regular servants assigned there, who rarely come to Wan’an Garden to gossip.
Therefore, on regular days, Yun Wanqing couldn’t hear any information regarding Yun Zhan and Yin Shuang.
She couldn’t imagine that due to her thoughts, the seed of love in Yun Zhan’s heart had already begun to sprout early, pushing forward the romantic storyline with Yin Shuang prematurely, only assuming they were still stuck in a rather unique master-servant phase.
Yun Wanyao wasn’t very aware of the progress between Yun Zhan and Yin Shuang, so she couldn’t comment on it.
But there was one thing they agreed on, which was she also wanted to witness a sweet couple and see her Seventh Uncle get married and have children soon.
When men gather together, they are bound to drink heavily.
And when these men are from the same rough military background, they drink even more.
Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan were dragged by their close associates, drinking here and there until late into the night when everyone was sprawled out with bottles before they finally stopped.
Inside the open private room, on the floor, on chairs, and on tables lay many drunk individuals in various positions.
Lady Yun, wrapped in a fox fur, felt nothing but a headache looking at the chaotic scene.
She sighed, instructing the servants to take Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan back to their respective rooms, while the rest were accommodated in the empty private rooms in the front yard.
Fortunately, anticipating this situation, enough coal and quilts had been prepared in each private room in advance.
The young servant supporting Yun Zhan had barely walked a few steps when a masked woman with a lantern blocked his path.
"Miss Yin Shuang."
"Hmm."
The cold and serene woman replied softly, her eyes falling upon the man with closed eyes.
"Give him to me, I’ll take him back."
"Alright."
The young servant quickly nodded, transferring Yun Zhan to her hands.
Yin Shuang, with one hand supporting him and the other holding the lantern, started walking on the cobblestone path.
Despite her slender frame, appearing frail, she showed no signs of difficulty supporting the tall, broad man much larger than her.
Watching their retreating figures, the young servant was puzzled.
Miss Yin Shuang was supporting the Seventh Young Master more effortlessly than he did, where did she get such strength from?
Tch, appearances can really be deceiving!
It took a cup of tea’s time for them to return to Qing Garden.
Yin Shuang supported Yun Zhan up the stairs, into the room, and sat him down by the bed.
Then, she proceeded to untie his belt and clothes, swiftly removing his outer garments, and laid him on the bed.
After drinking, one tends to feel very thirsty in the middle of the night. Yin Shuang wanted to fetch some tea, and as she turned around, her wrist was grasped. With a gentle force, she was pulled backward.
If she wanted to resist, she could easily break free, but she didn’t. Following the minor force, she fell onto a solid chest.
"Shuang’er~"
A low, hoarse, and heated voice reached her ears. Yin Shuang turned her head slightly to find him awake without her knowing, his eyes dark and dangerous.
The cold wind roared along the way, seeming to clear his mind a bit, yet not completely.
Yin Shuang’s eyes flickered as she found a comfortable position to lie on his shoulder.
"What’s wrong?"
"Is it you, Shuang’er?"
He strained to keep his eyes open, seeming to verify.
Usually calm and wise, he appeared somewhat dazed and confused after drinking, making Yin Shuang’s heart uncontrollably tender.
She smiled slightly, giving a light "hmm" in acknowledgment.
She admitted her identity, but he wouldn’t believe it so easily.
He closed his eyes, lowered his head, and inhaled deeply at her neck. After catching her familiar scent, his expression finally relaxed, and he reached out to remove the silver mask from her face, tossing it aside casually.
