[Really? Really?]
[Dad, do you have any good news to tell us or not?]
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, a slight smile curving his lips.
Was it that Xiao Si was too good at reading people? Or was his expression too obvious? She managed to see through him at a glance.
"Husband, have you encountered some good fortune?"
Hearing Yun Wanqingâs thoughts, Lady Yun turned her head to look at Yun Zheng, and indeed saw the joy on his face that couldnât be concealed.
Could it be that, just as Xiao Si thought, the matter of being framed and wrongfully accused is resolved?
[See, I knew Mom is always my voice.]
[Almost every time I think of something, Mom will say it for me.]
[Having a voice like this is truly wonderful, when I want to know something, I just have to listen, no need to ask, otherwise, Iâd just be anxiously waiting.]
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Little sister, youâre too naive!
When you find out in the future that Mom and many others can hear your thoughts, and you have no secrets in front of us, will you still think itâs wonderful?
[Dad, hurry up and tell us, Iâm getting anxious here.]
Yun Wanqing perked up her ears, staring intently at Yun Zheng, looking serious and intently listening, which amused Yun Zheng greatly.
He couldnât resist reaching out to touch her little face again, and with a light laugh, recounted what happened at the Court today.
"Yesterday, several officials were assassinated, and at the scene, they found a Token of the Su Familyâs guard. This morning, during the early Court session, led by the Prime Minister, many officials filed a report against Su Jian, accusing him of plotting against his colleagues."
"Now, the Emperor ordered that in the coming days, he is not allowed to attend the Court; he must focus entirely on this matter to prove his innocence."
"If Su Jian canât prove his innocence, heâll likely end up in hot water."
Even if the Emperor doesnât punish him, the Prime Ministerâs faction wonât let him go; from now on, the Capital will have a good show to watch.
[What?]
[Su Jian assassinating the Prime Ministerâs faction? How is that possible?]
[Even though Su Jian holds military power, he canât just move the army into the Capital to do such a thing, right?]
[All the troops in the Capital are directly under the Emperorâs command, and if the army enters the Capital, theyâd immediately be treated as rebels.]
[And as for his guards and the private troops he secretly raises, even with the Wang Familyâs people included, they couldnât simultaneously target several high-ranking officials, since each official carries several guards with them.]
[Wang Familyâs people had just helped him teach the Princess a lesson, even though my dad got blamed for it, it only served as a distraction, nobody truly believed my dad tried to assassinate the Princess, especially bringing his own Token to do it.]
[Therefore, to avoid exposure, the Wang Familyâs Death Warriors have gone into hiding early, and wouldnât dare to act out anytime soon.]
[With just those few people from the Su Family, Su Jian isnât foolish enough to act against the Prime Ministerâs faction at this critical moment.]
[Yes, absolutely, this matter definitely wasnât done by Su Jian...]
Yun Zheng: "..."
My daughter is so smart, listen to her analysis; itâs well-reasoned and logical.
When he thought of how the officials in Court were arguing endlessly about this, he felt at a loss; the entire civil and military Court couldnât see as clearly as his barely month-old little girl.
The next instant, he couldnât stay happy.
Hearing the little kidâs thoughts continue to ring out.
[Thinking it over repeatedly, I canât help but feel my dad is somehow involved in this matter.]
[And considering how happy he seemed when he came back, it just looks like an old fox whose cunning plan succeeded, no doubt about it, my dad totally did this.]
[Dad must have figured out that the person who set him up was Su Jian, thatâs why he devised this for revenge.]
Yun Zheng: "..."
Mother and daughter: "..."
An old fox whoâs succeeded in his crafty scheme, huh?
Canât deny it, he really does look the part.
Seeing Yun Zhengâs helpless expression, the mother and daughter couldnât help but burst out laughing, simultaneously understanding many things.
It seems that Xiao Si got it all right; Su Jian was indeed outsmarted by him.
[Wow, give my dad a thumbs up, this was brilliantly done.]
[If people donât mess with me, I wonât mess with them; if people mess with me, Iâll make sure their three generations suffer.]
[As they say, reciprocating is part of etiquette, the one who provokes is cheap; itâs Su Jianâs dishonorable act to first fling dirt on my dad.]
[So donât blame my dad for treating them as they treated him, letting him also enjoy the taste of being wronged yet unable to clear his name.]
