My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 40 - 31: A Male Supporting Character’s Fate Can Never Outmatch the Female Lead’s
"Marvelous, truly marvelous! This prescription is extraordinarily intricate. I have simply never heard of or seen anything like it. To think such a miraculous physician exists in Da Wu Country."
His eyes moved away from the prescription, glowing as he looked at Yun Zheng, as if he were beholding some rare treasure.
"Duke, may I ask where you obtained this prescription? If given the chance, I would like~"
On the way to the Imperial Hospital, Yun Zheng had already thought of the answer to this question, so at this moment, he appeared unfazed as he deceived the Imperial Physician with no psychological burden.
"Imperial Physician Yao must have heard that a while ago, my brother took his son to Jingzhou for medical treatment. This prescription was obtained by them from Jingzhou."
He fabricated a story of an unknown identity for the other party, saying they had sold it to Yun Zhan due to their destitution for a thousand taels of silver, and it was because of the unknown identity and uncertainty of the prescription that he came to seek advice.
Imperial Physician Yao immediately felt an immense regret. He indeed treasured talent, wishing to recruit people into the Imperial Hospital, but if the person’s identity was unknown, it was absolutely impossible.
Thus, his thoughts turned again towards the prescription.
"This prescription is of no use to the Duke, why not sell it to me? I am willing to offer five thousand taels of silver, ensuring the Duke will not be short-changed."
Such level of an Imperial Physician could immediately comprehend and master any prescription with just a glance, yet he was still willing to spend money to purchase it, demonstrating either high moral character or perhaps fear of Duke Ning’s esteemed reputation.
Without hesitation, Yun Zheng shook his head in refusal.
"Not for sale."
Imperial Physician Yao was instantly disappointed, yet what he heard next left him wide-eyed in disbelief.
"However, I can gift it to Imperial Physician Yao, provided he assists me in a great task."

"Seventh Master Yun and Young Master Yun have returned home~"
"Duke Ning went to the Imperial Hospital and met with Imperial Physician Yao~"
"Imperial Physician Yao has been visiting Duke Mansion daily these past two days, each time staying for two hours~"
"The military stationed at Cangyun Ridge is all normal~"
"..."
Prince Qi Mansion.
Reading the real-time updates sent back by the Hidden Guard, the eyes of Mo Yuanhao gradually deepened.
These days, all the news sent back by the Hidden Guard were miscellaneous trivialities; neither Duke Ning Mansion nor Yun Zheng himself showed any anomalies. Could it be that he was overthinking?
Was it really just about canceling the engagement with Su Qianxue that night when Duke Ning’s people intercepted Su Qianxue near the Yin Yuan Temple, and not aimed at him?
Having concluded this, Mo Yuanhao felt a slight relief in his heart, yet he couldn’t entirely dispel the suspicion lurking within.
He always felt that the incident that day was too coincidental.
Returning from Yicui Building to the Su Family shouldn’t have required passing through that area, yet the incident occurred there—it was unsettling.
"Continue the surveillance."
"Yes."

The next day.
After the meal, Lady Yun held Yun Wanqing and called Yun Wanchen over.
"Chen’er, there’s something very important that I didn’t have the chance to tell you yesterday."
"Yes, Mother, now you can speak, and I will listen." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Yun Wanchen nodded slightly, his eyes seeming to reflect a cold moonlight, pure and untainted.
"Some days ago, that Su Family’s daughter caused quite a scandal, totally ruining her reputation. So, I instructed your father to call off your engagement to her."
Lady Yun explained the whole situation in detail, however, she concealed Yun Zheng’s involvement in the matter.
"Such an unruly girl could never be your Heir’s Wife?"
"Chen’er, since you weren’t home at the time, I didn’t seek your opinion beforehand. Are you upset with me?"
Yun Wanchen smiled faintly, "Marriage is traditionally determined by parental orders and matchmaking, I shall follow Father and Mother’s decisions."
[Wow, Big Brother is so obedient! Marry when told, cancel when told, how can you be so compliant?]
Lady Yun: "..."
Yun Wanchen: "..."
He was merely indifferent towards Su Qianxue and had no affection for anyone, hence he had no opinions on the marriage situation; yet in her eyes, how did that translate to being obedient?
Yun Wanchen lifted his gaze to look over, catching the little one’s gleaming eyes.
[Ah, why is Big Brother suddenly looking at me?]
[Did he notice I was praising him? Impossible, absolutely impossible.]
[Big Brother must be looking at me because I’m adorable.]
Mother and son: "..."
[Listening to elders will fill your belly, Big Brother, accepting the cancellation obediently is a good thing.]
[Anyway, Su Qianxue doesn’t like you, she is not your destined one, if you two continue entangling, you’ll end up very miserable.]
[Your fate as a secondary character is no match for the protagonist.]
[Let go promptly, perhaps you can escape the fate of being a tool.]
[When I grow a bit more, I’ll try my best to let you stand out, with your status and talents, you will surely find mutual love and a marriage made in heaven.]
