She moved closer and reached out to check Yun Wanqingâs body.
Normal body temperature, light and steady breathing, pulse and heartbeat are also very stable. With her heart finally at ease, Lady Yun let out a small sigh of relief.
She suddenly remembered that the little one mentioned yesterday about entering Yun Wanyeâs dream at night.
During the day, Lady Yun was busy all day, and at night she was terribly exhausted. Groggily waking up twice, she saw the little one sleeping soundly, while she was too tired to open her eyelids, and fell back into a deep sleep.
Only now did she realize that from last night until now, the child hadnât had any milk.
Sleeping so deeply was surely because she was exhausted from entering Yun Wanyeâs dream. It seems that entering a dream really takes a toll physically.
"Alas..."
Lady Yun sighed, lowered her head to kiss Yun Wanqingâs forehead, then quietly got out of bed to get dressed and wash up.
When the Yun Family father and sons came over, they saw her looking troubled and heavy-hearted.
Seeing this, Yun Zheng paused for a moment, then walked over with big strides, unreservedly reaching out to put an arm around her shoulder, looking at her with concern.
"Whatâs wrong? Didnât rest well?"
Lady Yun shook her head and sighed again. She turned her head to look at the bed, speaking out anxiously.
"Ningning hasnât had any milk since last night, and I think she doesnât look well. I wonder if sheâs feeling unwell."
Hearing this, the father and sons simultaneously looked toward the bed. Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye frowned and walked over.
"Are you feeling bad, my lady?"
Yun Zheng withdrew his gaze, looking at Lady Yun with a complicated expression. His voice was low and hoarse, obviously troubled.
"Yes, Iâm in pain. Husband, you know Ningning shouldnât have to suffer like this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lady Yunâs eyes reddened, unable to hold back her tears.
This is her daughter; of course, she feels distressed.
So she didnât want to keep hiding from Yun Wanqing anymore.
Yun Wanqing had considered herself a part of the Yun Family long ago, holding no secrets from them, wholeheartedly thinking of them, so they should be honest with her.
What does it really count for to keep hiding like this?
Initially, if she feared Yun Wanqing was unfamiliar with them and couldnât accept such strange things.
But now, there were already deep bonds between her and her mother, her siblings; why continue hiding?
Enjoying her protection while hiding things from her, putting it nicely was a matter of great importance, but if put harshly, it was plain vile.
"Donât cry!"
Coarse fingers wiped away her tears, Yun Zheng looked at her gently, comforting her.
"I havenât had a chance to tell you. Actually, when I came back from Yeâer, we had already discussed and will tell Ningning about it."
"From now on, Ningning will not have to suffer like this. Hearing this, do you feel a little better, my lady?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Yunâs eyes instantly brightened, her moist eyes looking at the man before her with delight.
"Really?"
"Yes, really, when have I ever lied to you?"
Yun Zheng straightened his face, pretending to be unhappy. Meanwhile, Lady Yun couldnât be bothered with him, having gotten the answer she wanted, and immediately pushed him away, unwilling to look at him even a second longer.
Almost at mealtime, Yun Wanqing still had not woken up.
The brothers were very worried.
Yun Wanchen pursed his lips, looking at the little one, while Yun Wanye waved the maid away, then leaned in towards Lady Yun to inquire.
"Mother, last time when little sister knocked me out with her spiritual power, how long did she sleep?"
Hearing this, Lady Yun pondered and said, "I canât remember exactly how long, but she also missed several feedings, not being very spirited for several days..."
"The strange thing is, when Ningning had entered my dream before, as far as I recall, she didnât have any noticeable reaction."
It might not be that Ningning had no noticeable reaction; rather, during that time, the wet nurse was still around, taking care of Ningning when busy.
Not long after she entered her dream, Ningning was taken away by people sent by the Wang Family.
So she might have simply not noticed.
If she had noticed earlier, she would never have allowed this dream-entering to continue.
"What do we do now? Little sister hasnât woken up, and going this long without milk, she must be famished, right?"
Yun Wanye frowned, once again feeling helpless and powerless.
Compared to him, Lady Yun was much calmer.
"Letâs wait a little longer. After we eat, if Ningning still doesnât wake, Iâll find a way to feed her some milk."
Perhaps because of being twins, Yun Wanyao was also often sick when she was young, frequently falling into long slumbers.
So as long as all vitals are normal, this kind of deep slumber isnât seen as a big problem in Lady Yunâs eyes.
Thinking of Yun Wanyao, Lady Yun suddenly realized something and instinctively turned to look outside the door.
"Right, where is Yaoâer? Why hasnât she come yet?"
These days, Yun Wanyao would always come to Wanâan Garden first after getting up, then head to the hall for breakfast with her, but she was strangely absent today.
"Maybe she went straight to the hall. Mother, since little sister is still asleep, Iâd like to stay with her. You all go to the hall to eat, and have someone bring me something."
Before Lady Yun could respond, Yun Wanchen chimed in.
"Mother, have them bring more, Iâll dine here with Yeâer."
"Uh, you all are...?"
Suddenly, a guilty voice came from behind.
Lady Yun and Yun Wanye turned to see a pretty head peering in from the door, sneakily watching them.
It was Yun Wanyao.
Yun Wanye gave her a once-over and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Yun Wanyao, what mischief have you been up to this early in the morning?"
"No, no..."
Yun Wanyaoâs cheeks immediately reddened, stammering a weak protest, then walked in, though her steps were erratically light, noticeably out of sorts.
Yun Wanye crossed his arms and sarcastically commented.
"Ha, your face screams guilt, yet you dare claim innocence. Confess honestly, what are you guilty about?"
Yun Wanyao: "..."
If he asked like this, he probably didnât know yet.
Hmm, little sister hasnât mentioned her affair yet?
While this was certainly great news, something seemed off.
Little sisterâs thoughts were so lively, always pondering over this and that. She would even obsess over things like how many baby mice were born in the corner nest or the backyard dogâs fights; how could she have missed her?
"Who, who feels guilty? Not me, you stop making stuff up. By the way, has little sister woken up?"
It suddenly dawned on her; if little sister hadnât outed her yet, perhaps she was still asleep.
Sure enough, her guess was quickly confirmed.
Yun Wanye withdrew his gaze, a knowing smile playing at his lips, "Not yet. Ah, I see, little sister knows what youâre guilty about."
Yun Wanyao: "..."
