If King Qi sends a proposal again, what should we do?
Agree, and I’m afraid something might change in the future, but if we refuse, how can we possibly do it?
This marriage was decreed by the late Emperor, and without any fault from King Qi, Yao’er cannot possibly withdraw from the engagement on her own.
Oh, it’s so frustrating!!!
In the afternoon.
Yun Zheng returned from court and came to Wan’an Garden wearing his purple Qilin Official Uniform.
"Where’s Xiao Si?"
As soon as he entered, Yun Zheng started looking for Yun Wanqing.
He had promised her that unless he wasn’t home, he would hug her every day, and today he hadn’t hugged her yet.
"Just fed and fell asleep inside."
Lady Yun tilted her chin towards the inner room.
Yun Zheng strode inside to see the little one clutching the corner of the blanket, cheeks flushed, sleeping sweetly.
He bent down to gently kiss the little one’s forehead, then turned and walked outside, sitting next to Lady Yun, pulling her close and kissing her lips.
He kissed her hard, letting out a loud sound.
"Why does it seem like my lady is worried about something? What are you thinking about?"
"There’s a lot on my mind."
Lady Yun put down the embroidery in her hand and sighed softly.
"The servants in the house said Princess Jing came by today. Could it be that you’re still worried about Princess Jing’s matters?"
Yun Zheng was somewhat puzzled. They had already done what they could. What more was there to think about?
Upon hearing this, Lady Yun furrowed her brow and looked at him, speaking in a low voice, "Husband, Princess Jing said that the child from the mistress was kidnapped. Was it you who did it?"
"Yes, what’s wrong?"
Yun Zheng admitted openly, without any concealment.
"Then, how is the child now?"
"I’ve had the child sent back. Rest assured, my lady, not a hair was harmed."
Lady Yun said helplessly, "Am I worried about the child? I’m worried about you, husband."
"No matter how bad Prince Jing is, he is still a Prince. If you kidnapped the child he treasures, what if he finds out and holds a grudge?"
She wanted to help the Princess, but the premise was not to drag the Yun Family into it, not to bring any trouble to the Yun Family.
She had four children and had to be selfish, had to think about her children.
Especially Xiao Si, who is not even two months old, unlike the other siblings who have some ability to protect themselves. If anything were to happen to the Yun Family, what about Xiao Si?
Hearing this, Yun Zheng smiled, pulled her into his arms, and seated her on his lap.
"Rest assured, my lady, I always make sure nothing is left to chance in everything I do. This matter, I have thought it through; it is the best approach."
"Only in this way can the mistress be exposed to the Princess. Otherwise, if I merely tell the Princess about her, the Princess might not believe."
"Prince Jing is her husband, sharing the same bed. Do you think she would believe Prince Jing or an outsider?"
"Perhaps, in our good intentions to remind her, she might instead perceive it as trying to sow discord between them."
"Therefore, only by revealing the truth vividly before her eyes would she believe it."
"Alright, my lady, don’t think about this matter anymore, nor worry about the Princess. She already knows, and what to do next is up to her."
Lady Yun nodded, leaning against his chest. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes filled with resentment.
"I recall, that Miss Yin was sent to the military camp, precisely where you stayed in the past."
"Back then, Miss Yin was famous throughout Haojing, the red mole in the hearts of countless noble young men. And you, husband? Did you ever admire her?"
Yun Zheng: "..."
He laughed a little, deliberately saying, "With you mentioning this, my lady, for some reason, brings back many memories."
"Indeed, that Miss Yin was renowned back then, though not quite on par with you in appearance, yet she still suppressed both you and the Princess, with young nobles in the capital passionately pursuing her..."
Before he finished speaking, his shoulder was suddenly slapped hard. The woman in his arms rose up, looking at him with angry eyes.
"So, you were one of them, weren’t you? You admired her too? Did you have a relationship with her in the military camp? I really want to ask you, now that you suddenly encounter her, what are your thoughts?"
Seeing her going more and more off track, Yun Zheng could no longer care to enjoy her jealousy and immediately lowered his head to kiss her, forcibly sealing her lips.
Lady Yun was almost beside herself with anger, struggling against him, refusing to let him kiss her.
