Chapter 438 - 195: Does This Have Anything to Do With You? (Part 2)

She wanted Yun Wanyao to annul the marriage, but annulling this engagement doesn’t necessarily have to offend King Qi.

This move is too risky.

Yun Wanye: "..."

If you have to say it like that, then maybe.

But how is he supposed to admit it?

If he confessed, wouldn’t his mother come after him?

[See, it’s not just me who thinks this way, even Mom feels this way, so this definitely has something to do with my second brother.]

[Heh, Second Brother is really something, to get together with the Princess, he even had plans involving my sister.]

[But then, my sister’s engagement is ill-fated, clashing with the protagonist’s destiny, so as long as she isn’t too heartbroken, it’s better to annul the engagement early.]

[Just don’t know what exactly Second Brother did, but he better not bring trouble upon himself.]

[That King Qi is not some upright or benevolent hero caring for the world; his persona, which is popular among fangirls, is more of cold-hearted and vengeful.]

[All his tenderness is reserved for the female lead. Outside of the female lead, everyone else is insignificant, and he changes moods faster than flipping a book.]

[If you go along with him, he might show some kindness, but if you dare go against him, it’s a sure pathway to doom.]

[If he finds out someone schemed against him, wouldn’t he skin alive those who dared to plot against him?]

Yun Wanye: "..."

Why is everyone worried he would scheme against King Qi?

Does he really come across as that foolish?

That King Qi, besides being a royal, also carries the protagonist’s aura. Of course, he wouldn’t foolishly go head-to-head with such a formidable person.

Unless he had no other choice, he might fight back, but clearly, it’s not to that point yet.

"Uh, Mom, let’s talk about this later. I’ll go secretly watch over Yao’er to prevent her from being bullied by King Qi."

After saying this, Yun Wanye was about to sneak away, only to find that this time Lady Yun was prepared and stopped him swiftly.

"Stop right there."

Yun Wanye: "..."

"Uh, Mom, why are you stopping me? Aren’t you worried Yao’er might be bullied?"

With a guilty conscience, Yun Wanye didn’t dare disobey Lady Yun and had to stop reluctantly.

Lady Yun sneered, "This is the Yun Family, and King Qi is a Prince; why would he bully Yao’er? But you, you’re not going anywhere unless you explain everything clearly today, or face the family rules."

[Mom is so awesome~]

Seeing Yun Wanye stopped, Yun Wanqing gleefully clapped in her heart and couldn’t help but giggle.

[Hahaha, seeing Second Brother’s guilty face, there’s no doubt, he’s the culprit. It’s a done deal.]

[Still thinking of escaping? Hmph, quickly confess what you’ve done.]

Her laughter was so joyful that Yun Wanchen couldn’t help but be infected, his lips curving up as he reached out to pinch her cheek, only to have it pawed away.

Of course, she didn’t have enough strength to really push his hand away.

[Big Brother, don’t interfere with my fun.]

Yun Wanchen: "..."

Well, there’s a good show to watch, and you’ve forgotten all about Big Brother?

He helplessly withdrew his hand.

Yun Wanye: "..."

Sis, are you really okay throwing your brother under the bus like this?

Ah, there’s no escaping this ordeal, no escaping.

"I confess, I’ll confess everything."

Yun Wanye sighed, briefly explaining how he persuaded Yun Wanyao to entice the Emperor, and how the Emperor’s fondness for Yun Wanyao led to the decree annulling her engagement with King Qi.

"Mom, I didn’t do anything. It’s the Emperor who likes Yao’er. Probably seeing Yao’er willingly enter the palace to show goodwill, he couldn’t hold back and thus issued an edict to annul Yao’er’s engagement with King Qi."

What???

The Emperor likes Yun Wanyao???

Yun Wanchen’s gaze shifted slightly, while Lady Yun and Yun Wanqing were extremely shocked, unable to recover for a long time.

[Did the Emperor really like my sister? This wasn’t mentioned in the plot.]

[No, no, actually, the original plot left clues, but I didn’t pay attention.]

[After the late Emperor arranged a marriage for my sister and King Qi, the then Crown Prince suddenly fell seriously ill. It was so bad that all the Imperial Physicians declared he was beyond saving.]

[But that night, he sneaked into Duke Ning Mansion, slipped into my sister’s room intending to strangle her.]

[At the critical moment, he gave up, stared at my sister for a while, then fainted. Finally, it was the Shadow Guard who came to take him back to the palace.]

[Before leaving, the Shadow Guard warned my sister not to tell our parents about this.]

[My sister was young at the time, frightened by the terrifying encounter and the Shadow Guard’s warning, so she never spoke of it.]
