But after Xiao Si’s heart exposed it, this thought grew uncontrollably like wild grass.
He cares about her. In his heart, she is more important than all the other noble ladies.
"Do you have a tendency to like ugly women?"
Yin Shuang still found it unbelievable. From a normal person’s perspective, he shouldn’t like her, yet he admitted that he did.
Although not very firm or clear, it was more than enough.
How could it be like this?
This had always been her deepest secret desire, but when it truly happened, Yin Shuang still felt it was absurd.
Aside from being the Duke Ning’s biological brother, he himself held a high position and was well-regarded by the Emperor. What kind of woman couldn’t he marry?
How would it be her turn to marry him, someone with an ugly face and who couldn’t be seen in public, like a maid?
"Sigh, what are you talking about?"
Yun Zhan frowned slightly, "In Da Wu Country, I don’t know how many women are uglier than you. If it were only about being ugly, it really wouldn’t be your turn."
Yin Shuang: "..."
"I have already expressed my feelings to you. You can reject me, but you can’t doubt my sincerity. Of course, don’t be in such a hurry to reject me. I’ll give you enough time to consider."
He held back again and again, but Yun Zhan still couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her cheek.
"Although your appearance is damaged, it’s really not as ugly as you imagine. Your eyes are very pretty, so beautiful that they can overshadow all other flaws."
It’s not just the eyes that are beautiful, everything everywhere is beautiful!

The next day.
The front courtyard hall.
Yun Wanqing was awakened by an overwhelming fragrance, her eyes not yet open, her nose twitching incessantly.
[It smells so good, I seem to smell roast goose, and braised pig’s trotters, honey-glazed char siu, cordyceps duck tongue, mushroom soup, sauerkraut bass, almond Buddha’s hand, lamb pot~]
[Ssss ah, I’m drooling.]
[Ah, ah, ah, how unfair my parents are, knowing full well I can’t eat yet but still letting me smell it, boohoo, I want to eat, I also want to eat.]
[I don’t want to drink milk, I want to eat food, boohoohoo, sss ah...]
Everyone: "..."
At the round table, listening to her endlessly swallowing and shouting, everyone looked at each other around the table full of dishes.
Usually, when eating, she is coaxed by the nanny, but today the nanny had some personal matters and took a leave, so fearing she would wake up wanting milk, they brought her over, but unexpectedly, this happened.
Everyone didn’t know what to do.
"I’ll go check on Xiao Si."
Lady Yun got up from her chair and walked toward Yun Wanqing. She thought the little one was just hungry, overwhelmed by the aroma of the food, and should be fine after filling her stomach.
"Where’s Yun Wanye? Why hasn’t he come yet?"
Everyone in the family was there except Yun Wanye, who was still nowhere to be seen. The dishes were getting cold waiting for him, causing Yun Zheng’s face to darken, and Yun Wanyao shook her head.
"I don’t know, maybe he’s sleeping in."
Yun Zheng’s face grew even darker, and just as he was about to send someone to call for him, Yun Wanye popped his head in at the door.
"Mom, Dad, I have something to do outside, so I won’t have dinner. You all eat without me."
"You, get in here."
Yun Zheng looked at him with a dark expression, ready to explode at any moment. Yun Wanye, feeling a bit apprehensive, inched his way inward.
"Dad, why did you call me?"
"If you’re not eating, why didn’t you come over and say so earlier? Do you know we’ve all been waiting for you?"
"Dad, I was wrong. Next time I’ll definitely say so earlier, or if you don’t want to wait for me next time, let me starve if I’m late."
Yun Wanye hurriedly admitted fault, smiling to appease his father, unwilling to be held here for a scolding.
Getting scolded so early in the morning would be very unlucky for the rest of the day, wouldn’t it?
More importantly, seeing friends later, he couldn’t afford to be laughed at by them.
"Hmph, where are you going?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, scrutinizing him up and down, just finding him displeasing.
Without daring to hide anything, Yun Wanye truthfully reported his schedule.
"It’s Wei Chaohui’s birthday today, and he invited many friends to gather at Zuixiang Building. I’m going to celebrate with him."
[What, the big scene at Zuixiang Building is happening today?]
[Dad, stop him, don’t let him go out. If Second Brother goes out, he’s going to cause trouble.]
Hearing the keywords "Wei Chaohui" and "Zuixiang Building", Yun Wanqing’s eyes jolted, and she stopped drinking milk, screaming in her heart.
Everyone: "..."
Yun Wanye: "..."
All the people shuddered, their ears perked up.
Especially Yun Wanye, his lips trembling slightly, feeling slightly anxious, would it really be so unfortunate?
