Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yunxi’s heart trembled slightly when she heard Feng Yili’s voice. There was a voice clamoring in her heart, saying that she must have known Feng Yili before.
Yu Yunxi hid her emotions and quickly took a step back. She looked at the obedient little bun on the bed with a complicated expression and asked, “Do you know this child?”
Feng Yili replied truthfully, “I’m his father.”
‘Father?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyes widened slightly.
‘I was right. This child is really related to him…’
Yu Yunxi said in a low voice, “As it turns out, the King of Youshan already has a wife and a child.
Feng Yili looked at the little bun on the bed gently as he said, “Junjin actually took the initiative to look for you… It seems like he really… likes you…”
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. She was asking about the child’s mother and did not understand why he said the little bun liked her.
‘Could it be… Is he trying to brush this matter off? A woman had given birth to a son for him, but she still doesn’t have a place in his heart?’
Yu Yunxi’s heart felt suffocated when she thought about this.
‘He even hugged me earlier. How is he going to face Junjin’s mother? The King of Youshan is just one of the many heartless men in this world..
In just a moment, all the warmth in Yu Yunxi’s heart disappeared. Her expression and her voice were very cold as she said, “King of Youshan, I’ve already said to Junjin that he can leave when his father returns. Now that you’re back, then I’ll have to trouble you to bring him away. However, since he’s asleep now, please come back tomorrow to take him away.”
‘Is she angry?’
Feng Yili frowned slightly, but soon, an idea appeared in his mind.
‘Is she unhappy because she thinks I have a wife? Is she… jealous?’
This thought caused the corners of Feng Yili’s lips to curl up. He feigned a helpless expression on his face as he said, “It’s already so late at night. Do you really have the heart to chase me back to the King of Youshan’s Residence now?”
However, Yu Yunxi did not buy his act at all. She said directly, “King of
Youshan, my place is small. It can’t accommodate a noble person like you.”
Just as Yu Yunxi was about to chase Feng Yili away again, there were movements from the bed.
The little bun sat up and rubbed his eyes. His cute face was filled with confusion as he asked. ‘Father. Sister. what are you doing?”
Seeing the cute little bun, Yu Yunxi could not vent her anger on Feng Yili no matter how much she wanted to do so.
‘With a wife and such a cute and sensible son, what is he dissatisfied with? He actually came to provoke me!’
Thinking about this, Yu Yunxi despised and loathed the man in front of her even more. She glared at him fiercely and walked toward the little bun. She helped him lie down and covered him with the blanket as she explained gently, “Junjin, your father and I were just talking about sending you home. I won’t force you to stay with me. Now that your father’s back, you can follow him back to the King of Youshan’s Residence tomorrow.”
“Sister, are you chasing me away?
The little bun scrunched his face up immediately. He lowered his head, looking extremely pitiful at this moment.
Yu Yunxi’s heart ached when she saw this scene. She could not bear to see the little bun unhappy at all. She said tenderly, “I’m not chasing you away. I like you a lot, but your home is the King of Youshan’s Residence. I’m just worried that if you stay here…”
The little bun’s eyes sparkled, and he interjected, “There’s no need to worry. As long as you agree, I’ll always stay by your side!”
“Then your father…” Yu Yunxi said, looking hesitant. She was worried that the King of Youshan would disagree. After all, the little bun was his son.
Unexpectedly, the little bun said softly, “Don’t worry. Father also approves of me staying with you.”
Without missing a beat, Feng Yili said from behind, “That’s right. That’s because I also want to stay with the Eldest Princess.”
Yu Yunxi:
Yu Yunxi turned around and glared at Feng Yili.
‘I was talking to Junjin. Why is he butting in?’
The little bun fidgeted with his fingers as he asked, looking conflicted, “Sister, are you really not going to consider my father? He’s… he’s really not bad.”
Yu Yunxi patted the little bun’s head and explained earnestly, “Junjin, don’t spout nonsense. You should support your mother and father being together…”
‘But you’re my mother!’
The little bun pouted.
Feng Yili stood with his hands on his back and said with a straight face, “Since Junjin likes you so much, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Junjin for one night. I’ll come again tomorrow.”
With that, Feng Yili left, not giving Yu Yunxi a chance to speak.
“So he’ll bring Junjin back tomorrow?” Yu Yunxi murmured to herself.
The little bun massaged his head and sighed inwardly.
‘Father is clearly plotting something, but Mother can’t tell at all. Father only said that he’ll come again tomorrow. He didn’t say that he’d bring me back..’
Yu Yunxi stroked the little bun’s head and said gently, “Junjin, go to sleep. I’ll watch over you.”
The little bun nodded sensibly and went back under the covers.
When Yu Yunxi finally came out of the room, she found Yu’er waiting for her at the door.
Yu’er could not hide her excitement as she said, “Eldest Princess, I’ve found out the things you asked me to investigate!”
“Come with me,” Yu Yunxi said to Yu’er before she led the latter to her study.
When Yu’er finally told Yu Yunxi the name of the Princess Regent of Tianxia, she was shocked.
‘The Princess Regent of Tianxia is also called… Yu Yunxi? Moreover, she and the Prince Regent have a child who’s about five years old..
All these things inexplicably formed a series of clues that seemed to be slowly leading her to discover the truth.
‘Is, is this the truth?’
Yu Yunxi massaged her temples as she asked anxiously, “What else did you learn?”
“I heard from those vagrants that the Princess Regent of Tianxia has superb medical skills. She cured many people of illnesses that were difficult to treat,” Yu’er replied seriously.
‘Superb medical skills… Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?’
Yu Yunxi no longer had any doubts about the truth in her heart.
Seeing that Yu Yunxi’s expression was not right, Yu’er was extremely worried. “Eldest Princess, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. You can take your leave first. From now on, you’ll serve me by my side,” Yu Yunxi said softly.
“Yes, Eldest Princess. I’ll take my leave then,” Yu’er replied. She could not contain her excitement at all. It was an honor to be able to directly serve the Eldest Princess.
Just as Yu’er arrived at the door, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “Wait. Ask Meng Xia to come to my study..”
