"Oh dear, sister, your eyes are so red, it breaks my heart. Should I just deal with that Pei Yu right now?"
"Although my spiritual power isnât strong enough yet, I can still wipe out that Peiâs intelligence, turning him into a fool."
Currently, her spiritual power could extend to a distance of two li.
From this nursemaidâs courtyard to the front hall is roughly about two li.
As she was about to take action, Yun Wanqing closed her eyes, just ready to extend her spiritual power when she heard Yun Wanyao calling her, and she immediately retracted her spiritual power.
"Yes, yes, from now on I canât release my spiritual power in front of sister, lest her system detects it."
Yun Wanyao: "..."
It looks like the little sister really believes she has a system.
"Little sister, that Pei Da... no, Pei Yu isnât a good person. You play here by yourself for a bit, and Iâll go tease him. Afterwards, Iâll come keep you company, alright?"
Anyway, since the little sister already believes sheâs been reborn, revealing a little information might actually ease her mind.
"Sure enough, sister knows Pei Yu isnât a good person, which is why she was so upset before."
"But now, I see that sister is doing much better. Since thatâs the case, Iâll let sister handle it herself. If she canât deal with it, Iâll help later."
"Mm, sister, go ahead."
"Alright..."
Yun Wanyao almost blurted out, but she caught herself just in time. She reached out to touch Yun Wanqingâs small face and kissed her on the forehead, then laid her on the bed.
"Hua Wu, the little sisterâs nursemaid didnât rest well last night and is resting now. You keep the little sister company here, and make sure she doesnât fall off the bed, got it?"
"Got it, miss, rest assured, I will watch over the fourth miss carefully."
"Mm, good."
After entrusting Yun Wanqing to Hua Wu, Yun Wanyao kissed her little hand again before leaving.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, tears fell uncontrollably.
Pei Yu, father regards him as an adopted son, and she saw him as a sworn brother, but he turned out to be such a cruel and vicious person?
The little sister wasnât wrong; while the story inevitably makes him interact with and fall for the protagonist, it doesnât change his true nature.
His true nature is to be ruthless and unscrupulous in pursuit of his goals.
Such a person doesnât deserve to be heavily used by father.
Wiping away tears, Yun Wanyao took a deep breath, her lips curled into a slight smile, and she headed towards the front courtyard.
Since he can harm her for the sake of his beloved, he shouldnât blame her for seeking justice for herself.
Front hall.
After the housekeeper served tea, he respectfully stood aside. A man in a black suit sat holding a teacup, chuckling as he spoke.
"Iâve been away from the capital for a long time, Housekeeper Liu, did Yao mention me often while I was gone?"
Housekeeper: "..."
I, as a housekeeper, oversee the entire Duke Mansion. How should I know if the miss mentioned you at all? The miss isnât idle enough to mention you to me.
Though he felt a bit speechless inside, the housekeeper maintained a warm smile.
"Mr. Pei, the miss has been in the nursery all this time. She only took leave to come back after the fourth miss was born."
"During this time, since the fourth missâs birth, there have been many family matters, and Iâve been too busy to even see the miss, let alone know who she might have mentioned."
Anyone with eyes could see that this Pei guy had feelings for their miss, but the miss is engaged, destined to become Princess Qi. How could she often mention an outsider?
Even if Yun Wanyao had mentioned him, the housekeeper wouldnât tell Pei Yu.
The missâs reputation could not afford to be tarnished in the slightest.
Besides, this Pei guy should know his worth. How could he compare to King Qi and dream of such an improbable match?
If not for the Duke admiring him, he wouldnât even be allowed to enter the Yun Familyâs door, let alone harbor thoughts about the miss.
The housekeeper snorted inwardly, somewhat dismissive of Pei Yu, though he didnât show it.
Hearing his words, Pei Yu frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
"I suppose, Yao wouldnât mention such things in front of a servant."
Housekeeper: "..."
What do you mean by that?
Are you looking down on me?
The miss and I are quite familiar. Every time she sees me, itâs always âUncle Liu this, Uncle Liu that.â Youâre just a young lad calling us servantsâhad I known, I wouldnât have served you tea at all.
The housekeeper felt quite annoyed and didnât want to bother with him anymore.
"Well, Mr. Pei, please feel free to help yourself. I have other matters to attend to, so Iâll be leaving now."
