Being looked at like this, Yun Wanyao couldnât help but feel a chill down her back, shrank slightly, and moved her gaze away from him.
At this moment, Yun Wanqingâs thoughts sounded again.
[Oh no, I almost forgot something very important.]
[Father and mother donât know that second brother likes the Princess.]
[Second brother, this stubborn person, loves face, and has never told anyone about liking the Princess. Apart from him, only I know about it.]
[So, father and mother still donât know that he covets the Princess. How can father make plans early?]
[Oh no, by the time father finds out, it will be too late.]
After hearing this, everyone remembered that they had always disguised themselves well, never said any extra words in front of her.
Even when the news came that the Princess had canceled her engagement, except for Yun Wanye and Yun Wanyao who seemed a bit happy, they didnât say anything.
So, she didnât know that they had already known about Yun Wanyeâs desire for the Princess.
Perhaps in her heart, even the event of Yun Wanye scheming to break Lu Huaixin and the Princessâs engagement, they were unaware of, thinking it was all Yun Wanyeâs sneaky personal actions.
Well, how should they act next?
Actually, thereâs no need, they could completely continue pretending to know nothing, but if they really did that, Yun Wanqing probably wouldnât be able to sleep well.
Lady Yun didnât want to see her worry herself over this trivial matter.
She thought for a moment, turned her head to look at Yun Wanye, and secretly gave him a look.
The meaning was very clear, to let him confess in front of Yun Wanqing, so that she doesnât have to worry about these matters anymore, affecting her mood.
Yun Wanye acknowledged and immediately took action.
"Father, Mother, I have something to confess to you."
"Actually, Iâve admired the Princess for a long time. Previously, when the Princess was engaged, I didnât want to be a marriage wrecker, so I hid my feelings deep, never expressing them."
"But now, the Princessâs engagement has been cancelled, sheâs free, and I want to give it a try. I hope father and mother will agree."
Hearing these words, Yun Wanqing was stunned, looking at him incredulously.
[What?]
[Second brother confessed?]
[I just thought our parents didnât know about it yet, and second brother confessed already?]
[Not normal, absolutely not normal, with his temperament, itâs unlike him to confess so early, is he not concerned about face anymore?]
[Uh, the plot has broken down so far, it seems everything canât be looked at with common sense anymore.]
[This matter is a bit bizarre, but itâs definitely a good thing.]
[Now that heâs confessed to father, father can plan early, but if he acts secretly, it might really endanger the whole family.]
[Also, confessing is commendable, but second brother, you said you didnât want to be a marriage wrecker, isnât that completely false?]
[The Princessâs engagement was broken because of you, donât think I donât know just because I didnât see it myself.]
[Even if you think with your toes, youâd know it must be you.]
Yun Wanye: "..."
Canât little sister just pretend not to hear it, why does she have to expose him?
"What, you actually covet the Princess? Look at yourself, do you deserve it?"
Suddenly, Lady Yun stood up from her chair, looking at him with shock.
Yun Wanyeâs play had begun, next, naturally, it was the turn of the others to continue the act.
As soon as Lady Yun spoke, with her expression, Yun Zheng and the three siblings couldnât help but be slightly stunned, all were astonished by her level of acting.
This level of acting is really good, it could even pass off as real.
"Exactly, how could you desire the Princess, I suggest you look in the mirror."
With Lady Yunâs opening, Yun Wanyao was not to be outdone, instantly getting into the role.
Yun Wanye narcissistically said, "Iâve looked, very handsome, perfectly matched with the Princess."
"..."
The whole family was enthusiastically acting out, giving Yun Wanqing a free show, and Yun Wanqing, she never would have thought that just by being born, she would end up with a family full of actors.
She watched with great interest as Yun Wanye confessed, as Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao teased him, and as Yun Zheng analyzed the pros and cons for him.
This matter was discussed for a long time, yet no conclusion was reached.
Even if Yun Zheng wished to step down and relinquish military power, it could not be accomplished overnight, and even if he did resign, Yun Family still had Yun Zhan.
As for severing ties with Yun Wanye, thatâs just talk, it doesnât solve the problem.
No matter how they sever, Yun Wanye is always part of the Yun Family, with Yun Familyâs blood flowing in his veins.
The only solution was Yun Wanyao, but King Qi is a Prince and has committed no major mistakes at present, how could the Yun Family take the initiative to dissolve the engagement?
That would be like trampling King Qiâs pride on the ground.
"Yaoâer is engaged to King Qi, you absolutely cannot get involved with the Princess right now, in the Yun Family, there can only be one Princess and one Prince Consort."
"There is currently no good solution for this, in the short term, you should keep your little thoughts hidden, wait until we find an appropriate solution."
Yun Wanye naturally agreed wholeheartedly, repeatedly assuring.
"Donât worry, father, I know everything you said, I definitely wonât endanger our whole family."
[Second brother, I hope you mean what you say, this matter is really not a joke.]
[Our family is destined to be enemies with Su Qianxue and the system. If the Emperor bears a grudge against us, then weâre really done for.]
[Of course, I guess youâre just making empty promises. Knowing you, you surely wonât let go of the Princess.]
[You might already be scheming about something.]
[Whatever youâre planning, I hope itâs reliable.]
Yun Wanye: "..."
Little sister really knows how to grasp his thoughts, she even knows when heâs scheming.
Bah, itâs not some scheme, itâs clearly an interest in Yun Wanyao.
After dinner.
The siblings returned to their own courtyards.
After drinking her milk, Yun Wanqing lay on the couch, beginning to carefully recall the plot.
Recently, too many things have happened, her mind nearly canât keep up, so she must take a good account of them to avoid missing something important.
As for Yun Wanyao, after returning to her courtyard, she planned to do some embroidery to aid her digestion before sleeping.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wanye arrived, carrying a very exquisite red box in his arms.
"What are you doing here so late?"
Threading the needle, Yun Wanyao looked up at him, her back inexplicably starting to feel cold again.
For some reason, she always had a feeling of being calculated by him.
"Of course, Iâm here to give you something, Yaoâer. I got a set of pearl hairpins from the Treasure Pavilion two days ago."
"This set of pearl hairpins, crafted from Purple Gold and Dawn Pearl, is invaluable and the treasure of the Treasure Pavilion."
After speaking, Yun Wanye opened the red box, revealing six purple pearl hairpins of varying sizes neatly placed on the red silk inside.
He wasnât lying, the hairpins were indeed priceless, and each one was meticulously carved, exceptionally beautiful.
As a girl who loves beauty, Yun Wanyao couldnât resist the allure of pretty jewelry, her beautiful eyes glued to the hairpins, almost drooling.
"How about it, do you like them?"
Yun Wanyeâs flattering voice reached her ears, and Yun Wanyao snapped back, belatedly calming down.
Why would this guy suddenly be so generous to her?
In the past, whenever he went out, asking him to buy a candied fruit stick or pastry was like taking his life, he was so stingy. How could he suddenly change?
There must be something unusual going on with this abnormality.
"Itâs said that showing undue favor without reason must mean deceit or robbery, Yun Wanye, what exactly are you scheming?"
"How are you speaking? Youâre my sister, could I really harm you?"
Of course, he wouldnât admit it, raising an eyebrow nonchalantly and said.
"Well, you never know. Iâm warning you, Iâll keep the hairpins, but if you want me to do something else, forget it."
Taking advantage of his inattention, Yun Wanyao quickly grabbed the box and held it in her arms, nearly overjoyed.
After all, it was given by him willingly, so itâs a shame not to take it.
As for making her do something, thatâs impossible.
Watching her snatch the box away, Yun Wanye wasnât anxious at all, leisurely saying, "The Princess likes me."
"Huh, the Princess told you herself? So, does this mean sheâs agreed to be with you?"
Yun Wanyao was a bit surprised, surprised at how quickly Yun Wanye pursued the Princess.
As for the Emperorâs suspicions, the relationship between monarch and minister, the throne, and the complex relationship between their siblings and Mo Zhaozhao and Mo Yuanhao, she wasnât bothered to consider it.
In any case, even if she doesnât consider it, someone else will.
"She does like me, but she hasnât agreed yet. You heard little sisterâs thoughts today, she is apprehensive about this issue, hence not wanting to be with me."
Yun Wanyao wasnât foolish, upon hearing this, she immediately guessed some parts but was still somewhat incredulous.
"So, the reason youâre showering me with such favors is to get me to break off my engagement with King Qi to fulfill your relationship with the Princess?"
Yun Wanye chuckled, saying, "Yes and no."
"Speak clearly."
Yun Wanyao rolled her eyes, having no patience to beat around the bush with him.
Yet Yun Wanye didnât want to be direct, instead playing the emotion card.
"Yaoâer, you know little sisterâs feelings, you know the plot, your engagement with King Qi wonât end well, so why not help me and the Princess?"
"I am your brother, and the Princess is your best friend. Helping us fulfills two of the most important people to you."
Yun Wanyao: "..."
At this point, it seems she wasnât that fond of Mo Yuanhao anymore, even if they did break off the engagement, she probably wouldnât mind.
But...
"Itâs not that I am unwilling to help you and the Princess. Youâre right, you are my brother, the Princess is my best friend, and you two have mutual affections, nothing could be better."
"However, my engagement with King Qi isnât that simple, itâs not like it can be dissolved just by saying so..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
Yun Wanye smiled, immensely satisfied, saying, "As long as youâre willing, Yaoâer, I have a way."
