My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 397 - 172: All Their Brains Traded for Looks
After listening to their words and seeing they had no good ideas, Lady Yun mustered up the courage to express her thoughts.
Ningning has been born for over a hundred days now, three and a half months, neither long nor short.
During these days of interaction, Ningning has become very familiar with them, and has developed a certain emotional foundation.
So now, if they confess their heartfelt thoughts to her, although she might find it hard to accept at first, she won’t be frightened.
Confession?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly, and no one made a statement.
Seeing them all silent, Lady Yun couldn’t help but worry.
"Ah, what does it mean when you all don’t speak? Are you thinking this isn’t feasible? Even if you think so, shouldn’t you at least explain why?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhan and the two brothers looked at Yun Zheng in perfect synchronization, clearly implying he should respond.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Lady Yun, this isn’t a small matter. I think, there’s no rush, perhaps we can think of other solutions."
"Is that what you all think?"
Lady Yun looked at Yun Zhan and the two brothers one by one, and they nodded quickly.
Upon seeing this, Lady Yun nodded.
"Fine, since you all think that way, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. Now, put your brains to work and think hard, you must come up with a reliable solution."
The group: "..."
Isn’t that a bit too hasty?
They all thought so, but none dared to say it.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Yun Wanye’s mind, his eyes brightened, and he looked at Lady Yun with anticipation.
"Mom, my little sister is now over three months old, and she’s been practicing spiritual power and inner strength, her physique is surely different from ordinary children."
"Can I take my little sister with me when I go out in the future?"
Since Su Qianxue can carry a system, would it be excessive for him to bring his little sister along?
His little sister is so talented; if the system tries to do something to him, she will definitely notice.
Although carrying his little sister means exposing many of his actions and being inconvenient, it’s better than being targeted by the system, accidentally becoming Su Qianxue’s lackey, and turning against family.
"????"
This rendered Lady Yun completely bewildered, leaving her puzzled as she looked at Yun Wanye.
"Yun Wanye, do you know what you are saying?"
"Ningning is just over three months old; among all the distinguished young gentlemen in the entire capital, who takes such a young sister out with them?"
"Don’t you think this is strange? If others find out, our Duke Ning Mansion will become the laughing stock in places like teahouses."
"Moreover, given the current severe situation, shouldn’t you be focusing on finding a solution rather than bringing this up suddenly?"
Yun Wanye: "..."
Did he not make himself clear, or is his mother’s mind unable to turn a corner?
"Mom, listen to me; the reason I suggested carrying my little sister is precisely to handle the current situation."
"Aren’t you all worried about me becoming a system target?"
"If I have my sister with me, wouldn’t we be able to continually gather information about the system?"
"Moreover, if I really become a system target, having my sister there means she’ll definitely help me; she won’t just stand by and watch the system toy with me."
It sounds quite logical, but...
Lady Yun frowned, thought for a while, and ultimately refused.
"That’s still not okay; Ningning needs regular feedings every day, and she needs to relieve herself. How can an unmarried youth manage her?"
"Moreover, aren’t you against confessing your heartfelt thoughts to Ningning? Bringing her along will expose many things."
Alas, a supposedly wise and brave man of great stature, now reduced to needing protection from a diaper-wearing infant.
Thinking of this, Yun Wanye felt both ashamed and sad.
But, the most important thing now isn’t his dignity but overcoming the current crisis smoothly.
Yun Wanye sighed, saying, "Mom, my sister has always speculated that you and Yun Wanyao were reborn, and guessed that I have a system~"
"She’s particularly imaginative; as long as we don’t confess, even if more is exposed, she’ll make up reasons for us."
"So, there’s absolutely no need to worry about that."
Lady Yun: "..."
Seems quite true; every time they slip up, Ningning starts making conjectures, finding reasons for them herself.
In short, she guesses everything, but never imagines everyone can hear her heartfelt thoughts.
Wan’an Garden.
Not long after Lady Yun left, Yun Chuchu arrived.
She still looked as if she was unwell, lacking energy, her complexion not too good.
Upon entering the room and not seeing Lady Yun, she inquired with the maid.
"Why isn’t big sister-in-law here?"
"Madam went to attend to some matters, Miss."
The young maid only knew Lady Yun went to work but didn’t know what specifically, Yun Chuchu’s brow twitched slightly, she didn’t ask further, went to sit beside Yun Wanqing, reaching out to play with her.
"Ningning, auntie’s here to see you."
[Hello, auntie.]
Someone spoke to her, and Yun Wanqing involuntarily replied in her heart.
Hearing that soft baby voice, the corners of Yun Chuchu’s lips slightly curled up.
"Aunt always feels that Ningning is different from ordinary children, always feels that Ningning can understand Aunt’s words, it’s really strange, Aunt doesn’t know why she has this feeling."
[Oh, are you really my foolish aunt?] 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
[When did your perception become so sharp?]
[When you were with the Shang Family, if you had such keen perception, you wouldn’t have been deceived so miserably.]
Yun Wanqing’s lips moved slightly, looking at Yun Chuchu in amazement.
Yun Chuchu: "..."
Wait, foolish???
In Xiao Ningning’s heart, is she just a fool?
Although she’s not very smart, is she really that foolish?
[Speaking of this, I have to talk to you properly, look at you, so beautiful, with strong backing, why can’t you be a little smarter?]
[Did you exchange all your brains for good looks?]
[Clearly, with my father as your backing, in the capital, you could choose any young master, why go so far to find one?]
[Even if it’s far, what is that Shang fellow?]
[Among those adopted sons, two are his illegitimate sons born before marriage, and one is Aunt Zhang’s own brother’s son.]
[He packaged them all for you to raise, and deceived you by saying they were children from his collateral relatives...]
What???
Her adopted sons are the illegitimate sons Shang Yu had before marriage?
The other is Aunt Zhang’s brother’s child, how could this be?
Yun Chuchu’s pupils suddenly shrank, her heart trembled fiercely, and her already pale face turned even paler.
Luckily, Yun Wanqing was too lazy to watch her, her gaze staying on her few adorable little fingers, otherwise, with her current appearance, she’d surely be exposed.
Playing with her fingers, her thoughts never stopped.
[When he pursued you, he acted so pure, swore to you that he never had a concubine, but in fact, he had already fathered two illegitimate sons.]
[But you foolishly believed him, thinking he was self-disciplined, different from other rich young masters.]
[After winning you over, he sent a letter home overnight, asking his family to help conceal the identity of those two illegitimate sons.]
[To cling onto you as a golden ticket, his parents spent a lot of money, temporarily placing those two illegitimate sons with relatives.]
[Then, they replaced all the informed servants in the mansion, waiting for you to get married.]
[True to the Shang Family’s expectations, you went through with the marriage and got successfully trapped, right until now, oh no, you’ll continue to be deceived until you die, never realizing.]
[After all those years of raising those illegitimate sons, there’s a deep bond.]
[So, to bring those two illegitimate sons back, the Shang Family secretly harmed you to make you infertile.]
[In this way, they could use the pretense of adoption to bring the children back.]
[But unexpectedly, you still became pregnant, which panicked the Shang Family, afraid you were carrying a boy, they tried several times to harm your child.]
[Fortunately, after getting pregnant, you wrote a letter to my father to share the good news.]
[After knowing about your pregnancy, my father wrote a warning letter to that Shang fellow, telling him to be good to you, or he’d personally go to Nanzhou Prefecture to stand up for you.]
[The Shang Family was truly frightened by this warning, fearing that if they harmed your child, my father would indeed come, and incidentally uncover more secrets.]
[Helplessly, they had to keep your child, but started plotting something else.]
[That was to swap your child. Regardless of whether you had a boy or girl, it would ultimately be a stillborn.]
[But who knew, Aunt Zhang discovered the plan, and then she had her own scheming ideas.]
[She was also pregnant, only a month ahead of you, the months weren’t that far apart.]
[Thus, she deceived Shang Yu into giving you labor-inducing medicine, prematurely forcing your child out over twenty days early, secretly swapping the two children.]
[From then on, her illegitimate daughter became the legitimate daughter, whereas your child was tormented day and night, living worse than a pig or dog.]
[If it weren’t for needing a child to rely on, your daughter would have been strangled long ago, how could she have lived until now?]
Wh-what???
The child was swapped by Aunt Zhang?
Rong’er is Aunt Zhang’s child, then her child, could it be...?
Yun Chuchu’s breath suddenly stopped, a scarred face with one missing eye appeared in her mind.
Jian’er, Jian’er is her daughter???
How could it be?
Several times, she saw Jian’er with ten bare fingers, no complete nails, her back full of sores, limping on both legs.
That child, like a puppet, an outlet for anger, was tortured relentlessly.
Whenever she couldn’t stand it and showed some concern, Aunt Zhang would act crazy, throwing fits at her.
The old lady also sarcastically told her to mind her own daughter and not worry too much about other rooms.
Even Shang Yu blamed her for meddling.
Gradually, she became dissatisfied and was too lazy to care.
That wasn’t her child, why should she exert herself with no reward?
