What a pity, little sister won’t know how much effort she put in, alas.
"Here."
Walking beside Yun Wanchen, Yun Wanyao slightly bent over and handed Yun Wanqing over.
Holding her well, Yun Wanchen said softly, "Little sister seems to have grown a bit, and gained some weight too."
[That’s right, babies grow fast, and I eat a lot, of course, I’ve grown quite a bit.]
[Big brother, I’m going to check your pulse. This arm can’t take any pressure.]
Yun Wanqing grabbed his arm over her body with both hands and pulled it out with effort.
Seeing her use all her strength, Yun Wanchen smiled faintly and cooperated without a word by lifting his arm a little.
[Alas, no wonder people say dealing with smart folks goes smoothly. Look how cooperative big brother is, he gets what I mean when I pull his arm, saving me a lot of effort.]
[This pulse...]
[This pulse seems completely normal, big brother should have been fine long ago, then why hasn’t he stood up yet?]
[Could it be? Is it possible?]
[Oh my goodness, why pretend when everything’s fine, who is big brother trying to deceive? Isn’t it uncomfortable pretending?]
[Let me think, could it be because mother is forcing marriage, and that’s why big brother is pretending?]
[Then is the pretending to avoid mother’s marital pressure, or to test which noblewoman in the Capital would stick by him through thick and thin?]
[Alright, alright, as long as big brother is fine it’s okay, let him pretend if he wants, let him deceive if he wishes.]
Yun Wanchen: "..."
Twins: "..."
Lady Yun: "..."
Everyone looked at Yun Wanchen simultaneously, their eyes full of inquiry.
Mother has known for a long time that big brother’s legs have recovered; when big brother stood up, someone informed her. So it’s clear big brother isn’t pretending to avoid mother’s marital pressure.
So, could it really be as little sister said, to fool the noblewomen in the Capital?
The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Alright then, this is indeed a good way to select a wife.
Although he might miss out on many high-status noblewomen, it’s better not to want those who only enjoy wealth but can’t endure hardships.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Yun Wanchen sighed helplessly, it seems everyone has decided he’s pretending to choose a wife.
[Huh, I feel mother’s and siblings’ gazes are a bit strange.]
[Did something happen? Or is it just my imagination?]
[Oh, right, it’s been a few days since the assassination attempt on the Princess, everything at home is peaceful and harmonious, it seems the matter of father being framed hasn’t happened.]
[That’s good, this saves a lot of trouble.]
[However, with things turning out this way, I can’t be sure if the person who tried to assassinate the Princess is the same as in the original storyline.]
[...]
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanye’s entire body twitched, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
From her words, does little sister truly know who attempted to assassinate the Princess?
Simply because they never mentioned father being framed in front of her, she assumes the storyline went off track?
Thinking this, Yun Wanye’s eyes flashed, a plan formed in his mind.
He put on a worried expression and said, "Mother, big brother, father has encountered some issues recently, our Yun Family is probably being targeted covertly."
"For the next few days, you better be cautious, don’t go out alone if possible, and if you have to, take more people with you."
[What? What has father encountered?]
[Is it related to the assassination attempt on the Princess?]
[Second brother, can you hurry up and explain, it’s so vexing.]
[...]
Listening to Yun Wanqing’s internal thoughts and then Yun Wanye’s unexpected words, Yun Wanchen’s gaze shifted slightly, he suddenly understood many things.
"What do you mean by this? Ye’er, what exactly happened to father?"
"Yeah, what’s wrong with father?"
Yun Wanyao had known the ins and outs of the matter for a long time but since she wasn’t a fool, she assumed Yun Wanye must have a reason for saying this, so she pretended to be very anxious and aided by putting on an act.
Only Lady Yun remained oblivious to everything, upon hearing Yun Wanye’s words, she thought her request for Yun Zheng to help the Princess had been exposed, offending Prince Jing.
She hurriedly looked at Yun Wanye and said, "Ye’er, what happened to your father? What do you mean by being targeted, just tell us quickly."
"Mother, don’t worry, this is the situation: a few days ago the Princess was attacked..."
Yun Wanye began explaining unhurriedly, everyone listened intently.
