"Mother is really angry now, you better think carefully about how to calm her down, otherwise, you might not escape fatherâs iron palm tonight."
Saying this, Yun Wanyao couldnât help but gloat.
Serves him right for having no manners indeed.
Yun Wanyeâs mouth twitched as he quickly calculated in his mind how to get out of this predicament.
"Letâs go, Iâll go with you."
Yun Wanchen got up from the chair, patted his shoulder, and walked out first. Watching his back, Yun Wanye shouted and followed.
"Big brother, are you going to save me or just to watch the fun?"
"Depends on my mood."
Yun Wanye: "..."
When the two of them arrived, Yun Zheng had already returned.
The door of the side room was open, flickering candlelight made the room bright. After they entered, the door was closed again.
Lady Yun looked sternly at Yun Wanye. Just as she was about to ask him to kneel, he sensibly knelt first in front of her, hugged her legs, and pleaded for forgiveness loudly.
"Mother, I know I was wrong, I wonât dare again, please calm your anger~"
Lady Yun: "..."
She hadnât even scolded him yet, and he already confessed...
Moreover, with such a good attitude of admitting mistakes, how could she scold him?
"Tell me then, what did you do wrong?"
Her voice was still stern, but her expression softened a lot. It was clear that much of her anger had dissipated.
Sighing in relief, Yun Wanye praised his own cleverness.
He pretended to wipe non-existent tears and continued his act.
"I shouldnât have fed the sagesâ teachings to the dogs, shouldnât have disrespected the Princess, shouldnât have done things that disgrace the family, embarrass my parents and my teacherâs reputation..."
Lady Yun: "..."
"You knew, and yet you still did that??"
She said sullenly. This brat clearly knew everything but still did it, all the more despicable for doing it knowingly.
Yun Wanye began to feign pitifully, lowering his head, showing a pitiful look.
"I didnât want to either, but I was overwhelmed and had no other choice. If there were other ways to see the person I wanted to see, I would never have done such a thing."
"Mother, I was desperate and had no other choice but to resort to this..."
Anyway, everyone in the family knew he liked the Princess, so he might as well use it to gain sympathy.
It had to be said, this move proved quite effective.
Seeing him so deeply rooted for a girl he shouldnât like, Lady Yun couldnât help but feel pity, forgetting her anger.
She sighed and said, "Even so, you shouldnât have done such a thing, should you? If it gets out, what about her reputation?"
"She is already engaged. Such behavior will be condemned by the world."
Condemned by the world? So what?
He didnât care at all.
Yun Wanye didnât pay attention to Lady Yunâs words, but his words were obedient.
"Rest assured, mother, I acted very discreetly, besides our family, no one else knows, this wonât get out."
He might not care about his own reputation, but he couldnât disregard the Princessâs reputation.
So, no matter what, he would never harm the Princessâs reputation.
"And I promise not to do it again in the future."
Yeah right, of course, he would dare again!!!
As for the engagement, she promised him she would break it, even if she didnât keep her promise, he would ensure the engagement couldnât proceed.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed quickly in Yun Wanyeâs eyes.
Unaware of his intentions, Lady Yun easily believed his words, but still asked uneasily.
"Really, you wonât do it again?"
"Really, I promise."
"Alright then, Iâll trust you this once."
Yun Zheng: "..."
Yun Wanchen: "..."
Sigh, so easy to deceive!!!
"Madam, do I still need to take care of him?"
After watching the show, Yun Zheng glanced at the brat on the ground and spoke faintly.
Yet, Yun Wanye wasnât afraid at all; in their family, mother was the real authority, as long as he placated her, there was no need to worry about father.
"Forget it, let him off this time."
Lady Yun replied. Hearing this, Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow and didnât say anything more.
Lishui Lane.
Ever since Mo Zhaozhao took her people away, the mansion had been in disarray.
The two masters were unconscious and their life or death unknown, plus they offended Chongguan Empireâs Princess Hua Yang.
The servants, fearing a royal decree of family extermination might implicate them, stole their contracts of servitude, took away valuables from the house, and fled one after another.
