Mo Yuanhao immediately began investigating the matter that evening, and Yun Wanye hurried back to the Yun Family after bidding farewell to those three siblings to inform Yun Zheng of the false accusations.
Upon hearing someone had assassinated the Princess and purposely framed him, Yun Zhengās anger soared, and he summoned Zhong Li and Shen Tu.
The previous incident with the assassins at Red Willow Slope still hadnāt yielded any leads, and now this false accusation has clearly targeted him.
"Investigate whether the assassin of the Princess is connected to the attackers at Red Willow Slope. This time, make sure to uncover some useful information."
"By the way, King Qi is also investigating this matter. Be cautious and avoid any conflicts with King Qiās people."
"Yes."
Zhong Li and Shen Tu disappeared into the darkness.
Yun Zheng squinted his eyes. The opponent is very cautious, seemingly only recently emerging, with no traceable evidence. Itās likely that nothing useful will turn up this time.
In that case, he must thoroughly prepare to extract the Yun Family from this quagmire.
"Yeāer, I need you to do something..."

A north wind blew fiercely overnight, and snow still drifted as the door opened.
The next day, outside the window, snowy willows bathed in fog, jade trees adorned with flowers and frost, as beautiful as a painting.
Yun Wanqing opened her eyes to see a world blanketed in white; the roofs and branches covered with thick snow. The Duke Mansion seemed transformed into a snow-filled realm. A quick flicker of excitement passed through her eyes.
[Oh, is it snowing? Itās so beautiful.]
[I really want to go out and play.]
[The Medicine King Sect is situated in the heart of Huaxia, without the southern seas or northern snow, and Iāve never stepped out of the Sect in my life, having only seen such beauty on TV and online.]
[Imagining myself reborn in two lifetimes, this is the first time Iāve seen real snow and canāt go out to play. Boohoo, how pitiful, how pitiful~]
[Letās show some sympathy for myself for ten seconds!]
Yun Wanye: "..."
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Lady Yun: "..."
It turns out the little sweetheart has never seen snow. She seems to know everything and is very capable, so they never imagined snow was something unfamiliar to her. It was indeed a bit unexpected.
Yun Wanyao intended to go out, but after hearing Yun Wanqingās inner thoughts, she changed her mind and decided to delay her departure.
She walked over and picked up Yun Wanqing, chuckling softly, "Little sister, itās snowing outside. How about I take you out to see it?"
[Wow, really? Really?]
[Is sister really going to take me to see the snow?]
[Sister is the best, the most understanding. Love sister, love sister the most.]
[Then come on, sister, carry me out quickly, I canāt wait any longer...]
Yun Wanqing looked at Yun Wanyao with eyes full of joy.
Yun Wanyao: "..."
The little sister is so eager, but donāt rush; we still have to inform mother.
"Mother, Iām taking little sister outside to see the snow."
Lady Yun sighed, feeling caught in a dilemma. She wanted to refuse, but Xiao Siās heart was filled with such anticipation that denying her would inevitably lead to disappointment.
However, if she were to consent, the snow had just fallen, and the wind was blowing outside. If she fell ill, what then?
If she got sick, Xiao Si would be the one to suffer, with no one able to take her place.
"Well, you can go out, but Xiao Si needs to wear a couple more layers. Going out like this could catch a chill."
With that, Lady Yun turned to the cabinet to grab some clothes.
Yun Wanyao felt a bit crestfallen, touching Yun Wanqingās little face, "Sorry, little sister, I didnāt think of that. Almost made you sick."
[Uh, honestly, I didnāt think of it either, so itās not sisterās fault.]
[Reincarnated as a little baby, this body is quite fragile. But itās okay; mother is here, mother will think of everything.]
Lady Yun: "..."
Soon, Yun Wanqing was wrapped in a cotton coat, her head adorned with a cotton hat, an extra layer nestled around her, snug as a bug.
Besides looking fluffier, she also weighed significantly more. Yun Wanyao struggled a bit to hold her. Witnessing this, Yun Wanye furrowed his brows and strode over.
"Itās a bit slippery outside, hard to walk. Carrying little sister to see the snow, youāll likely trip within a few steps. Let me carry her to see the snow."
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao felt a blush spread across her face. Although she vowed to carry little sister to see the snow, she might have overestimated her strength.
Yun Wanye was correct; the snow had frozen to ice, making some places quite slippery. If she insisted on showing off, she might indeed fall with little sister.
"Little sister, for safetyās sake, itās better for second brother to carry you. His Qinggong is good, and heās strong, so youāll be safer with him."
[Alright, alright, then second brother will carry me.]
