My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 44 - 32: More Like the Heroine’s Bootlicker
[However, the leading lady, who had gotten the script beforehand, knew of the Princess’s scheme and perfectly executed a counterattack.]
[While the Princess wasn’t paying attention, she tripped the Princess, and so, the one who fell into the water was the Princess herself.]
[The Princess was rescued, extremely angry and wanting to teach her a lesson.]
[Unexpectedly, the leading lady’s eloquent tongue came into play, leaving absolutely no room for competition from the Princess. She not only held the upper hand in reasoning but also rendered the Princess speechless.]
[In this confrontation, the leading lady became famous overnight, stole the limelight, and caught the attention of many male suitors, including the male lead, who saw her in a new light.]
[The Princess, despite suffering such a huge setback due to her own failed scheming, as they say, trying to steal the chicken and losing the rice, harming others to harm herself, deserved her fate.]
[But after all, she was the most beloved sister of both the Emperor and King Qi, cherished in the entire Empire since childhood, how could she bear the loss?]
[Thus, she bore a grudge against the leading lady, viewing her as a thorn in her side and constantly opposed her.]
[If the older sister is the most vicious supporting female lead, then the Princess is the second, fully playing out the role of the vicious supporting character.]
[Sigh, what a pity.]
[The Princess truly cared for her sister, but as a vicious supporting character, even as noble as a Princess, how could she compete against the leading lady’s aura?]
[Her end wasn’t much better than her sister’s, being abandoned by friends and family, she died in the arms of her loved one~]
[As for why this plot unfolded at my full-moon banquet, I’ve thought about it seriously.]
[After all, I am the younger sister of the vicious supporting role, and this Duke Ning Mansion is definitely the best setting for a showdown between the leading lady and the supporting roles.]
[Pfft, my sister is not a vicious supporting character, she is the kindest and most beautiful. It’s all that damn author smearing her name.]
[...]
Everyone was listening intently, except for Yun Wanye who had his head lowered, with clenched fists, feeling as if cotton was stuffed in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
The Princess she...
Was she also a supporting role?
"Hmm, that’s good."
Seeing Yun Wanqing’s story come to a halt, Lady Yun nodded to Yun Wanyao, giving her a knowing glance.
Yun Wanyao nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.
Tomorrow she would keep a close watch on the Princess, making sure that she won’t act out the ’plot’.
Won’t allow her to become a tool for the leading lady to gain fame, or to turn into a vicious supporting character and meet the same fate as in the ’plot’.

The next day.
Duke Ning Mansion was meticulously decorated, looking brand new.
At the gate, a red silk flower was hung on the plaque, the mansion was adorned with lanterns and streamers, the ground was covered with fresh flowers, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan, the two brothers, stood with Yun Wanchen and the twins outside the door to greet the guests.
The dignitaries and nobles of Haojing, as well as the relatives of the Yun Family, arrived one after another amid the sound of firecrackers.
"Duke Ning, congratulations~"
The officials, dressed in casual clothes, with their families, smilingly congratulated Yun Zheng, who returned their greetings with cheerful smiles, while Yun Wanchen and the twins politely greeted everyone they met.
As the morning passed and the guests mostly arrived, a dark red chariot stopped at the gate, from which a young girl in palace attire and a man in a purple-gold robe descended.
The girl’s palace attire was a dazzling fiery red, vibrant and bold. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Ah Yao~"
She waved at Yun Wanyao from afar, lifting her skirt and ran over with quick steps.
Looking at the approaching figure, Yun Wanyao’s lips curled into a smile and she went to greet her, while Yun Wanye’s gaze slightly dimmed.
"Ah Yao, am I late?"
Princess Hua Yang Mo Zhaozhao arrived in front of Yun Wanyao, holding her hand and smiling lightly.
"Not late, not late, just in time."
Yun Wanyao released her and looked towards the handsome and majestic man not far away; noticing her gaze, Mo Zhaozhao stuck out her tongue at her and murmured softly.
"Elder brother didn’t take the dragon carriage, insisting on coming with me; I don’t even know what he’s thinking~"
"Your humble servant~"
Yun Wanyao dared not complain about the Emperor with her and promptly approached to pay her respects, not even getting a chance to kneel before the man’s hand halted her.
"I am dressed casually today, no need for formalities."
The deep, cold, and solemn voice slowly echoed above, carrying a hint of undeniable authority, making Yun Wanyao feel as if a pair of pitch-black, terrifying, and icy eyes hung above her, sending chills down her spine.
"Yes, thank you, Emperor."
Due to the Emperor’s presence, everyone was extremely restrained, especially Yun Wanyao, who had feared the Emperor from a young age.
Fortunately, the banquet had separate sections for men and women.
