Dad and big brother are really something, actually saying the Princess has feelings for Yun Wanye. How is this having feelings? Itâs more like one glance makes you uncomfortable for a long time.
And she actually believed what Dad and brother said, came to find the Princess to talk about this, how ridiculous.
If she had known earlier that the Princess had not a single bit of affection for Yun Wanye, then, even if it killed her, she wouldnât have said this to the Princess.
Now how should she wrap this up?
"Um, Princess, since you dislike him so much, letâs just pretend I didnât say anything today. Forget all those previous words, and letâs change the topic, alright?"
Mo Zhaozhao looked at her, and after a moment of probing, said, "Ah Yao, youâre acting very strangely today. Why did you intentionally bring up those things when you knew I am already engaged?"
"I just thought the Princess liked my face, so I briefly thought of some irrelevant things."
Yun Wanyao stuck out her tongue, took Mo Zhaozhaoâs arm, and looked at her ingratiatingly.
"If I had known earlier that the Princess disliked him so much, I definitely wouldnât have said those things."
"Also, itâs just because I like the Princess so much that I got carried away, hoping to forge a closer bond with the Princess."
She couldnât tell the Princess that she said these things because Yun Wanye liked the Princess.
The Princess only has disdain for Yun Wanye; if he wants to win the beautyâs favor, it looks like he has to cultivate goodwill all on his own.
Once she goes back today, sheâll find Yun Wanye, tell him to cancel everything, and go to the Princess to cultivate goodwill.
If, in the end, he still canât win the Princess over, then he can only blame himself for his lack of competence.
Hopefully, he can see reality clearly and not do anything disgraceful.
"Alright then, even though I feel youâre a bit weird today, and these words donât quite seem sincere, Iâve decided to trust you anyway."
Mo Zhaozhao lifted her chin, curled her lips into a smile, looking like she wouldnât haggle with Yun Wanyao, which made Yun Wanyao so excited she wished to hold her face and kiss it, but she forcibly restrained that impulse.
"The Princess is really amazing."
"Ah Yao is great too."
"..."
The two of them began exchanging compliments.
After the mutual flattery session ended, Yun Wanyao changed the subject, continuing to whisper persuasively to Mo Zhaozhao, trying a tentative indoctrination.
"Princess, thereâs something Iâve thought about for a long time, and Iâve decided to tell you. But after hearing it, you canât be mad at me, okay?"
"You go ahead, and whether I get mad, thatâs for me to decide after you finish."
Mo Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, smiling arrogantly.
Although she said that, Yun Wanyao could already tell from her expression that no matter what she says, the Princess wouldnât get angry.
She took a slight breath, organized her words, and then slowly spoke.
"Princess, do you trust my judgment of people?"
Before Mo Zhaozhao could respond, she continued, "I always feel that Lu Huaixin is not your true love, and heâs not as sincere to you as you think."
"Marriage is a lifelong matter, concerning a lifetime of happiness. Have you really thought it through about marrying him, Princess?"
Hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao started looking bewildered.
"If Iâm not mistaken, this is the second time Ah Yao has brought this up to me. Whatâs wrong with Lu Huaixin? Ah Yao seems to dislike him very much."
He would kill you!
Yun Wanyao sighed silently, unable to reveal the plot to Mo Zhaozhao, because even if she spoke, Mo Zhaozhao wouldnât believe things that havenât happened yet.
"Princess, Mr. Xie was so rude to me, did you ever hear me speak ill of Mr. Xie?"
"Observers see clearly while the involved are confused; Princess, being in the situation, canât see clearly, but I can tell that Lu Huaixin isnât sincerely in love with the Princess."
"Youâre noble, esteemed, and favored in the Chongguan Empire, so why marry a man with ulterior motives? Why become a stepping stone for his advancement?"
"Heâs just a concubineâs son and only became the Young Master after clinging to the Princess. Youâve already given him enough."
Since she couldnât reveal the truth, she could only use her ability with words to influence the Princess, planting a seed of doubt in her heart.
When the right opportunity arises, this seed would take root and sprout, rapidly taking over the Princessâs heart.
"As Iâve said before, marriage is a major life decision; once the Princess gets married, it will be too late to regret it."
"So, I hope the Princess can consider carefully."
"Lastly, I want to ask the Princess, are you marrying him because of the engagement from years ago, or because you truly love Lu Huaixin?"
"Princess, do you love him?"
