My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 62 - 38: Why Are You Spying on Our Princely Heir Here?_3
The servants in the mansion were busy tidying up the aftermath of the banquet.
After a long day, Lady Yun was quite exhausted and took Yun Wanqing to rest early, while Yun Zhan and Yun Wanye meticulously checked the prescriptions before going to discuss matters regarding the Emperor with Yun Zheng.
Lan Yue Pavilion.
At this moment, an undernourished sprout lingered there.
"Miss Su, it’s getting late, you should head back. I’ll have someone escort you home."
Yun Wanchen lifted his eyes, looking calmly at the young girl before him. Her face was sallow and thin, yet her dark eyes were particularly bright.
His legs were injured, and he disliked the gaze of others that were either sympathetic, pitiful, or gloating. Hence, after greeting the guests, he returned to his courtyard to cooperate with Imperial Doctor Yao in treating his legs.
After seeing off Imperial Doctor Yao, he went to the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Suddenly, a phrase from a servant startled him.
"Who are you, and why are you spying on the Princely Heir of our family?"
Next, with a ’bang’, the startled girl bumped her head against the wall. However, as if she didn’t feel pain, she clutched her head and attempted to run. He gestured to Cang Yan.
Cang Yan jumped over the wall, and soon, he returned holding a young girl as if he were holding a chick.
The girl was thrown in front of him, shivering and terrified.
Yun Wanchen lowered his eyes, scrutinizing her seriously, noting that she was excessively thin with delicate wrists and neck, seemingly able to break with a bit of force.
Her clothes were neither new nor old, and although it was early winter, she was dressed very lightly, her face turning blue from the cold, and she had not a single piece of jewelry on her.
"Who are you?"
He asked lightly, wondering internally. Today, the attendees of his little sister’s full moon banquet were either rich or noble, even the servants they brought should not be so impoverished.
Could it be that this little girl sneaked in?
"I, I, I..."
The little girl stammered for a long time yet failed to string a complete sentence.
"If you don’t speak, I can only have someone take you to the banquet and let your family recognize you. If no one claims you, then trespassing into the Duke Mansion is no small crime."
"No, please, I will speak, I will speak..."
Under his intimidating questioning, she eventually revealed her identity. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
It turns out, she was a concubine’s daughter of the Grand Commandant Mansion, Su Qianyue.
Upon hearing this name, Yun Wanchen’s eyes flickered slightly, a faint surprise crossing his mind.
So, this is that Su Qianyue from his little sister’s innermost feelings, who was willing to collect his corpse, commit suicide for him, but was brought back forcibly by Su Jian to be married off, ultimately taking her own life in her boudoir?
A concubine’s daughter from the Grand Commandant Mansion, living in such poverty?
If outsiders were to know, they might even think that the Grand Commandant Mansion couldn’t make ends meet, having a concubine’s daughter looking perpetually underfed.
"The women’s banquet is over by the garden. How did you end up here?"
"I got lost~"
Su Qianyue lowered her head, answering with immense guilt.
Actually, she wasn’t lost. She just wanted to see him.
Her stepmother initially thought she was too disgraceful to attend the Yun Family banquet, or rather, the stepmother herself didn’t plan on attending.
Last time, when Duke Ning retracted the marriage proposal, it caused the Grand Commandant Mansion and her legitimate elder sister to lose face. Her stepmother felt attending today would make them a laughingstock, but her legitimate elder sister persuaded her, suggesting that not attending would result in even more rampant gossip, making it seem as if they couldn’t face people.
Her stepmother found her elder sister’s reasoning sound and eventually decided to attend the banquet.
They wanted to show everyone that even though her elder sister’s reputation was tarnished and the engagement was broken off, they were still living well, aiming to silence everyone with their presence.
Just to catch a glimpse of him from afar, she begged her father for a long time before he reluctantly agreed to let her out.
Unfortunately, her stepmother deliberately came very late to disgrace the Yun Family. By the time they arrived, she hadn’t seen him at all. Reluctantly, she made an excuse to use the restroom, stopped a maidservant, lied, and deceived the maidservant to find out where he lived and sneaked over quietly.
Finally, she saw him as she wished, but unfortunately, got discovered.
Su Qianyue initially thought she would get beaten to death, but surprisingly, he was generous enough to let her go and even had servants bring food for her.
Today, attending the banquet, she didn’t even go to the women’s banquet side. She was already starving, having never seen such good food before in her life.
What should she do?
Her obsession with him seems to have deepened.
"Thank you so much for the Princely Heir’s food..."
Su Qianyue lowered her head, not wanting to leave at all.
Parting today, she didn’t know if she would ever see him again in this lifetime. However, the order for her to leave had been given, and she couldn’t continue to linger.
Feeling terribly sad, her eyes began to sting. Su Qianyue kept scolding herself for being useless, but that emotion was unbearable no matter what.
"No need."
