Why doesn’t she trust me?
Of course, he has a way to resolve this matter. The trap is already set, just waiting for the right moment to close it. But he can’t tell her now.
Once the matter is resolved, he definitely needs to mention it to her to prevent her from worrying and thinking that he’s no better than Seventh.
At bedtime, Yun Wanqing was taken to the nursemaid.
Wan’an Garden was once again alive with excitement.
Qing Garden.
Yun Wanchen, holding the Healing Ointment he got from Yun Zhan, headed towards Lan Yue Pavilion.
All day today, Lan Yue Pavilion was guarded by Cang Yan. Apart from Yun Wanyao, no one was let in, not even Yun Wanye, who was stopped at the door.
"Princely Heir, the Second Young Master came by just now, but I sent him away."
Seeing Yun Wanchen return, Cang Yan immediately went to report to him.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchen squinted his eyes slightly and sighed helplessly.
"Ye’er, ha, he wouldn’t be so easily dismissed. He’s probably already sneaked into my courtyard by now."
In the entire Duke Ning Mansion, there is nowhere Ye’er can’t go if he wishes.
Cang Yan: "..."
Really?
The Second Young Master was very agreeable.
He said that the Princely Heir was unwell and had already rested, asking the Second Young Master to come another day. The Second Young Master smiled and agreed before leaving.
How could he have already sneaked into the Princely Heir’s courtyard?
Does the Second Young Master have to be so sneaky?
"Ah, big brother understands me the best."
Before Cang Yan’s thoughts settled, a mischievous and carefree voice reached his ears.
He quickly looked in the direction of the sound to see a charming, attractive youth leaning against a tree trunk, looking at them with a casual, nonchalant expression.
The cold moonlight spread around him, casting a faint halo.
The youth’s face was exquisitely handsome, almost too perfect to be real.
Cang Yan: "..."
He turned to Yun Wanchen, feeling particularly speechless.
Was the Second Young Master purposely here to embarrass him?
If he wanted to come in, he should have done it earlier. Why sneak around only to show himself after the report was done?
"He’s the only one in the residence who dares to go anywhere. Cang Yan, just keep the others away."
The implication is to ignore this guy.
"Yes."
Cang Yan quickly responded.
Yun Wanchen nodded slightly, lifted his leg, and walked towards the courtyard, standing in front of the youth, looking at him with cold but helpless eyes.
"Ye’er, there are reasons for not letting you in. Why do you insist on forcing your way?"
"That hurts my feelings, brother. Cang Yan said you were unwell, so I wanted to check on you out of concern. Who knew..."
He laughed, teasingly, "Big brother was just tricking me."
Seeing his demeanor, Yun Wanchen knew he must have discovered Su Qianyue’s presence, so he stopped beating around the bush.
"Ye’er, this is no small matter. Remember to keep your mouth shut."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanye was clearly displeased, pouting, "Am I the kind of person to blab?"
"Don’t worry, brother. I know what’s important. Sneaking in tonight was partly out of genuine concern and partly because I was just too curious."
"You called Yun Wanyao over in the middle of the night and instructed all the servants not to come here. Isn’t it obvious there’s a secret here?"
"Brother, you know how curious I naturally am. Of course, I wouldn’t miss something like this."
Yun Wanchen: "..."
"Fine, as long as you don’t spread it. Did you come to see me for anything else besides curiosity? If not, hurry back."
"Wait, don’t be so quick to send me away."
Yun Wanye stepped forward, elbowing Yun Wanchen, speaking with mischief in his voice, "Have you really thought this through, brother?"
"Thought through what?"
Yun Wanchen looked at him coolly.
"Oh, stop pretending," Yun Wanye rolled his eyes, speaking lazily, "How could you not know what I’m talking about?"
"I can spell it out if you want—are you really planning to make her our sister-in-law, brother?"
Yun Wanchen squinted at him, "You should mind your own affairs first. I hear the Princess and the Young Master are about to tie the knot."
Yun Wanye: "..."
He gritted his teeth, fuming, "Brother, are you really my brother? Do you have to stab me in the heart and rub salt in my wounds?"
"I’m just kindly reminding you." Yun Wanchen chuckled softly.
