Chapter 436 - 194: King Qi Pays a Visit (Part 3)

"Yao’er, let go of Ye’er first, let’s talk calmly."

Which noble lady in the Capital would strangle her own brother like her without any regard for decorum?

It’s truly becoming more and more unruly.

Upon Lady Yun’s words, Yun Wanyao reluctantly released Yun Wanye, wanting to complain, but for the moment, she didn’t know how to start.

What she had done indeed made her too ashamed to speak.

After a moment, she pinched her thigh, squeezed out two tears, and put on a pitiful look, preparing to act pathetic to gain Lady Yun’s sympathy and make her scold Yun Wanye on her behalf.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked in.

"Madam, King Qi has come to visit and wishes to see the young lady."

"????"

The matter of canceling the engagement, Yun Zheng hadn’t had the chance to tell the family yet. Aside from the three of them who knew, no one else was aware.

Thus, upon hearing the servant’s words, the others were perplexed and puzzled.

Lady Yun glanced at Yun Wanyao, muttering in confusion, "It’s so late, why would King Qi come to see Yao’er at this hour."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanyao quickly lowered her head, feeling somewhat nervous.

Although her father had already briefed her in the afternoon and she was prepared for King Qi’s visit, hearing that he was actually here still made her involuntarily nervous.

"Madam, King Qi doesn’t look well and seems to be in a bad mood."

The servant seemed to realize something and quickly added.

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao, already nervous, became even more flustered and uneasy.

"Don’t be afraid, this is our Yun Family, there are guards everywhere in the mansion, he won’t do anything to you. I’ll send someone to find your father, if you can’t handle it, just bring King Qi to us, and your father and I will deal with him."

Sensing her unease, Yun Zhan stood up and walked over, reassuring her gently.

These words left the others present bewildered, their gaze falling on the two of them. Yun Wanqing frowned and thought for a moment, her mind becoming active.

[This is just a visit to see King Qi, why would Seventh Uncle tell sister not to be afraid?]

[Sister does seem very nervous. Isn’t King Qi my sister’s fiancé? Why would she be like this upon hearing about seeing King Qi?]

[This shows that Seventh Uncle, father, and sister are hiding something from everyone, but what could it be?]

"Seventh, you know why King Qi is visiting Yao’er so late, right?"

Lady Yun frowned, looking towards Yun Zhan.

Yun Wanye, on the other hand, frowned in deep thought. Could it be that something happened after he left the palace last night?

What could it be?

The Emperor took the initiative, keeping Yao’er overnight, and today King Qi came looking; the servant also said his face didn’t look good, and Yun Wanyao is so nervous, could it be...

Yun Wanye’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Yun Wanyao in disbelief.

Could it be because of the engagement?

The Emperor took a fancy to her, so he intervened in her engagement with King Qi?

The more Yun Wanye thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, so he perked up his ears, quietly waiting for Yun Zhan’s response.

If it’s really as he suspected, then apparently, last night’s risky move was the right one.

"Yes, I thought elder brother and sister-in-law had already told you. Apparently, elder brother is too busy and hasn’t had the chance. King Qi probably came for the matter of his engagement with Yao’er."

"Today, the Emperor decreed the cancellation of Yao’er’s engagement with King Qi."

"????"

What????

The Emperor decreed the cancellation of Yun Wanyao’s engagement with King Qi?

Yun Wanyao and Lady Yun were utterly shocked.

[How could this be?]

[Out of the blue, why would the Emperor decree the cancellation of sister’s engagement with the male lead?]

[This isn’t logical, it’s completely illogical.]

[In the plot, sister was clearly ruined by Xu Qingqing and Su Qianxue, losing her honor and being abandoned by King Qi only after being ridiculed by everyone.]

[Even if the plot collapses, it shouldn’t develop to this point inexplicably.]

[So, something else must have happened, otherwise, the Emperor isn’t idle enough to randomly cancel his brother’s engagement.]

[Let me see what exactly happened.]

Everyone: "..."

Lady Yun and Yun Wanchen frowned in deep thought, pondering her inner voice and trying to comprehend this baffling situation.

Meanwhile, a quick smile flashed across Yun Wanye’s lips.

Tsk, he guessed right!!!

It turns out the Emperor really intervened in Yun Wanyao’s engagement.

Yun Wanyao is something, for the Emperor to be moved to act so quickly, he really underestimated this silly girl before.
