My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 98 - 52: Take Gifts, Lose Your Edge; Take Help, Grow Soft

Mo Zhaozhao’s voice brought Lady Yun back to her senses. She quickly suppressed all her emotions, composed herself, and forced a smile.

"Princess, this must not be done. The fabrics from Nanzhou Prefecture are for Imperial Family use only. Giving them to Xiao Si could cause gossip."

"No worries."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao was immediately displeased.

"These are my belongings. I can give them to whomever I wish. If anyone dares to gossip, I will... I’ll... I’ll make them sorry!"

She had originally intended to say ’I’ll cut out their tongues,’ but as the words were about to leave her mouth, she met Lady Yun’s gentle eyes and felt a pang of guilt, quickly changing her words.

Jiang Zitang smiled slightly and gently said, "The Princess’s kindness, Aunt Ye, you should accept it. I’ve also brought a gift for the little sister. It’s in Ah Yao’s room too."

With the conversation reaching this point, Lady Yun could not continue to decline and accepted it with thanks.

"Ah!"

[Thank you, Princess, thank you, Sister Zitang~]

Upon receiving the gift, Yun Wanqing beamed with joy, unable to resist thanking them in her heart, but soon began to fret.

[Oh dear, accepting gifts without doing something in return, isn’t that inappropriate?]

[Sigh~]

[Perhaps I should wait until my spiritual power permits me to enter dreams, then I’ll repay them.]

[By then, I’ll tell the Princess the true nature of Lu Huaixin, hoping she wakes up soon to avoid the fate of drowning.]

[I’ll also tell Sister Zitang that Xie Xuanrong truly loves her and hasn’t taken a liking to anyone else.]

[The reason why he missed the Qixi Festival is because her maid deliberately interfered, deliberately sending the wrong messages to both parties, causing them to wait for each other all night, each thinking the other had stood them up.]

[Her maid was already taken by Jiang Family’s cousin He Wenyuan, who coveted Sister Zitang’s beauty, while the He Family coveted the Jiang Family’s power. In short, they didn’t want the Jiang and Xie families to marry, so they crazily used that maid to sabotage things.]

[Because the maid was the person Zitang most trusted, in the plot, Sister Zitang and Xie Xuanrong were successfully separated.]

[These two were like gourds with sawed-off mouths, with obvious misunderstandings, yet neither spoke up, nor confronted or explained, relying entirely on assumptions about the other’s actions.]

[Xie Xuanrong believed Sister Zitang had already begun a romance with He Wenyuan, while Sister Zitang thought Xie Xuanrong had shifted his affections to her sister and didn’t want to fall out with her sister over a man, so she quickly married He Wenyuan.]

[Xie Xuanrong was truly wronged. He merely helped after the Duke Ning Mansion fell because he saw her sister and Sister Zitang had a deep friendship, with her sister being very important to Sister Zitang, not expecting to cause such misunderstandings.]

[Sigh, she lost the title of the greatest talent, repeatedly provoked the heroine, and on top of that married He Wenyuan, a playboy and heartless scumbag, Sister Zitang’s end was also miserable.]

[Abused for a long time by He Wenyuan’s concubine—oh, who was her former maid—and eventually killed.]

[At her death, Sister Zitang was already six months pregnant, but because the maid was jealous, she was cut open to remove the child, ultimately resulting in the death of both mother and child.]

[After Sister Zitang’s death, Xie Xuanrong went on a killing spree, exterminating the entire He Family, then disappeared, and no one knew where he went~]

[...]

After hearing these things, Yun Wanyao trembled all over, a fleeting expression of shock and guilt flitting through her eyes.

Never did she expect that Ah Tang and Mr. Xie’s ending would be so tragic, and to think she had a part in it.

If that were the case, her sin would be monumental.

No, this time, no matter what, she must not let Ah Tang and Mr. Xie separate. In this world, perhaps the only one willing to annihilate an entire family for Ah Tang is Mr. Xie, Ah Tang mustn’t miss out on him.

Yun Wanyao tightened her fists, her gaze firm.

Observing her expression, Lady Yun knew she had already made up her mind on this matter, so she did not intend to intervene further.

When too many people involve themselves in the same matter, issues are bound to arise.

Suddenly overwhelmed by sleepiness, unbearably so, Yun Wanqing lost her interest in continuing to chat. She gently rubbed her eyes with her tiny fists, yawning incessantly.

Seeing her so sleepy, Lady Yun bid goodbye to Mo Zhaozhao and Jiang Zitang, then carried her away.

"Ah Tang, why have you not mentioned Mr. Xie recently?"

After watching her mother leave, Yun Wanyao’s gaze fell again on Jiang Zitang, her eyes thoughtful.
