Yu Yunxi did not think too much about the question and replied honestly, “He’s quite good-looking.”
However, after Yu Yunxi’s voice fell, a chill seemed to permeate the carriage.
Even the furry Sky Saber could not help but shiver.
‘He’s so scary…’
Feng Yili took a deep breath and suppressed the jealousy in his heart before he asked, “Are you really going to raise this white wolf?”
“Yes, it’s quite pleasing to the eye,” Yu Yunxi said as she reached out to stroke Sky Saber’s head.
“I have a white tiger and a white cat in my residence. I believe you’ll be interested in them as well,” Feng Yili said in a low voice.
As expected, Yu Yunxi’s eyes shone with anticipation when she heard his words. She asked, “Can I see them?”
For some reason, she was very interested in those animals.
Feng Yili, who had expected this reaction, only looked at her with his dark eyes.
Outside of the carriage, Jiang Ying and the others also overheard the conversation. All of them thought that Feng Yili was going to use this opportunity to invite Yu Yunxi back to his residence.
Contrary to their expectations, they heard Feng Yili say indifferently, “You can come and see them another day. I’m a little tired today so I won’t be able to entertain you.”
‘Why does His Royal Highness sound so indifferent?’
In the carriage, Yu Yunxi looked a little disappointed. Even when she arrived at Yu Residence, she was a little reluctant to leave. Needless to say, her reluctance had nothing to do with Feng Yili. Instead, she was more curious about the tiger and the cat in his residence.
“Eldest Princess, you must be exhausted today. Rest early. I’ll come tomorrow and pick Junjin up,” Feng Yili said before he ordered Jiang Ying to drive the carriage away.
Feng Yili’s speed of leaving caused Qian Qing, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi, to be stunned.
‘The Prince Regent cares the most about the Princess Regent, right? Why is he in such a rush to leave today?’
Yu Yunxi furrowed her brows slightly as Feng Yili’s words echoed in her mind.
‘He’ll pick up Junjin tomorrow…’
Initially, Yu Yunxi wanted Feng Yili to bring Yu Junjin away. However, ever since she found out that Yu Junjin was her son, she could not bear for him to leave.
Seeing that Yu Yunxi was in a daze, Meng Xia called out, “Eldest Princess?” “Let’s go in,” Yu Yunxi replied softly after she returned to her senses.
“Yes, Eldest Princess.’
On the other side…
Jiang Ying and the others could no longer hold back their curiosity.
Jiang Ying finally asked the person in the carriage in a low voice, “Your Royal
Highness, that was a very good chance for you to spend more time with the
Princess Consort. Why didn’t you invite her over?”
Feng Yili replied faintly, “Haven’t you heard of… playing hard to get?”
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan:
‘Of course, we’ve heard of playing hard to get, but we didn’t expect you to do such a thing…
In the carriage, Feng Yili held a cup of tea in his hand. His dark eyes were trained on the tea at this moment.
‘In order to win her heart, I’m willing to do anything…
“Mo… Sister, you’re finally back!” the little bun called out from behind. Yu Yunxi turned around and saw the little bun running toward her with his short legs. Her heart softened immediately, and she reached out to hug the little bun. She asked gently, “Were you obedient today?”
“Yes,” the little bun replied with a nod.
At this time, a carriage pulled to a stop at the entrance.
Yu Xiaoxiao had already recovered. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she said, “Sister, Father and I were waiting for you earlier. We didn’t expect you to come back first.’
Yu Xiaoxiao wore an aggrieved expression on her face. It was as though she was accusing Yu Yunxi of leaving first without saying anything.
Yu Yunxi was amused.
However, before Yu Yunxi could speak, the little bun said, “She’s the Eldest Princess. Why should she explain herself to you?”
“You little bast*rd…’
Yu Xiaoxiao was naturally infuriated that she was humiliated by a child. However, she had just spoken when she saw Yu Yunxi’s cold gaze. She froze immediately. It felt as though Yu Yunxi was grabbing her throat. She recalled what happened in the forest and how she had lost her voice and ability to move earlier.
‘This sl*t is too terrifying…’
Nonetheless, Yu Xiaoxiao was unwilling to lower her head just like that. She clenched her hands tightly and pretended to be calm as she said, “Sister, I don’t know why the Sixth Princess and Seventh Prince forgot everything. However, I remember everything. If I…”
Yu Yunxi sneered and interjected, “You can enter the palace and tell the truth, but do you think anyone will believe you? Also, don’t forget that you abandoned them and fled on your own.”
Blood drained from Yu Xiaoxiao’s face immediately when she heard these words.
‘That’s right. If the Sixth Princess finds out that I fled on my own, she’ll definitely skin me alive…’
Yu Xiaoxiao felt chills running up her spine when she thought about this. At this time, another three people alighted from the carriage. One of them was Yu Feng, and the other two were a young man and a young woman. They bore somewhat of a resemblance to Yu Feng.
As soon as Yu Feng appeared, he reprimanded Yu Xiaoxiao. “Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you spouting? The truth has already been revealed earlier so don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and apologize to your cousin.”
Yu Xiaoxiao was furious, but her father’s words calmed her down a lot.
‘That’s right. The Crown Prince wants me to maintain a good relationship with her…’
Yu Xiaoxiao suppressed the frustrations in her heart and pretended to be submissive as she said, “Sister, I was muddle-headed earlier and spouted nonsense. I’m really sorry.”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she looked at the submissive Yu Xiaoxiao and the amiable Yu Feng.
‘It seems like whatever the Empress and the Crown Prince promised them is quite good. Otherwise, their attitude won’t change so drastically…’
Yu Yunxi was not a fool. She could naturally guess that the second branch of the Yu family’s change in attitude had something to do with the Empress and the Crown Prince.
At this time, Yu Feng smiled and introduced Yu Yunxi to the young man standing at the back. He said, “Yunxi, this is your cousin.”
Then, Yu Feng turned to the young man and said, “Xingteng, why aren’t you greeting your cousin?”
“Greetings, Sister Yunxi,” Yu Xingteng called out with a fake smile on his face.
When Yu Yunxi saw Yu Xingteng’s gaze, she felt resistant toward him immediately. This was because she could see the unconcealed cunning and ambition in his eyes.
‘So he’s Yu Xingteng, the legitimate son of the second branch of the Yu family…’
Yu Yunxi heard that the second branch of the Yu family had spent a lot of effort to nurture Yu Xingteng. His literary knowledge was extraordinary, and his martial arts were also outstanding. He was one of the four great scholars in the capital, and many women, including a princess, admired him.
‘No wonder he’s arrogant and ambitious…’
