[Really? Really?]
[Dad, do you have any good news to tell us or not?]
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, a slight smile curving his lips.
Was it that Xiao Si was too good at reading people? Or was his expression too obvious? She managed to see through him at a glance.
"Husband, have you encountered some good fortune?"
Hearing Yun Wanqing’s thoughts, Lady Yun turned her head to look at Yun Zheng, and indeed saw the joy on his face that couldn’t be concealed.
Could it be that, just as Xiao Si thought, the matter of being framed and wrongfully accused is resolved?
[See, I knew Mom is always my voice.]
[Almost every time I think of something, Mom will say it for me.]
[Having a voice like this is truly wonderful, when I want to know something, I just have to listen, no need to ask, otherwise, I’d just be anxiously waiting.]
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Little sister, you’re too naive!
When you find out in the future that Mom and many others can hear your thoughts, and you have no secrets in front of us, will you still think it’s wonderful?
[Dad, hurry up and tell us, I’m getting anxious here.]
Yun Wanqing perked up her ears, staring intently at Yun Zheng, looking serious and intently listening, which amused Yun Zheng greatly.
He couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her little face again, and with a light laugh, recounted what happened at the Court today.
"Yesterday, several officials were assassinated, and at the scene, they found a Token of the Su Family’s guard. This morning, during the early Court session, led by the Prime Minister, many officials filed a report against Su Jian, accusing him of plotting against his colleagues."
"Now, the Emperor ordered that in the coming days, he is not allowed to attend the Court; he must focus entirely on this matter to prove his innocence."
"If Su Jian can’t prove his innocence, he’ll likely end up in hot water."
Even if the Emperor doesn’t punish him, the Prime Minister’s faction won’t let him go; from now on, the Capital will have a good show to watch.
[What?]
[Su Jian assassinating the Prime Minister’s faction? How is that possible?]
[Even though Su Jian holds military power, he can’t just move the army into the Capital to do such a thing, right?]
[All the troops in the Capital are directly under the Emperor’s command, and if the army enters the Capital, they’d immediately be treated as rebels.]
[And as for his guards and the private troops he secretly raises, even with the Wang Family’s people included, they couldn’t simultaneously target several high-ranking officials, since each official carries several guards with them.]
[Wang Family’s people had just helped him teach the Princess a lesson, even though my dad got blamed for it, it only served as a distraction, nobody truly believed my dad tried to assassinate the Princess, especially bringing his own Token to do it.]
[Therefore, to avoid exposure, the Wang Family’s Death Warriors have gone into hiding early, and wouldn’t dare to act out anytime soon.]
[With just those few people from the Su Family, Su Jian isn’t foolish enough to act against the Prime Minister’s faction at this critical moment.]
[Yes, absolutely, this matter definitely wasn’t done by Su Jian...]
Yun Zheng: "..."
My daughter is so smart, listen to her analysis; it’s well-reasoned and logical.
When he thought of how the officials in Court were arguing endlessly about this, he felt at a loss; the entire civil and military Court couldn’t see as clearly as his barely month-old little girl.
The next instant, he couldn’t stay happy.
Hearing the little kid’s thoughts continue to ring out.
[Thinking it over repeatedly, I can’t help but feel my dad is somehow involved in this matter.]
[And considering how happy he seemed when he came back, it just looks like an old fox whose cunning plan succeeded, no doubt about it, my dad totally did this.]
[Dad must have figured out that the person who set him up was Su Jian, that’s why he devised this for revenge.]
Yun Zheng: "..."
Mother and daughter: "..."
An old fox who’s succeeded in his crafty scheme, huh?
Can’t deny it, he really does look the part.
Seeing Yun Zheng’s helpless expression, the mother and daughter couldn’t help but burst out laughing, simultaneously understanding many things.
It seems that Xiao Si got it all right; Su Jian was indeed outsmarted by him.
[Wow, give my dad a thumbs up, this was brilliantly done.]
[If people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them; if people mess with me, I’ll make sure their three generations suffer.]
[As they say, reciprocating is part of etiquette, the one who provokes is cheap; it’s Su Jian’s dishonorable act to first fling dirt on my dad.]
[So don’t blame my dad for treating them as they treated him, letting him also enjoy the taste of being wronged yet unable to clear his name.]
