Chapter 159: Chapter 159 - 73: Who Is He Pretending For?

[So, the reincarnator I suspected earlier, is it confirmed to be my sister and mother?]

[If that’s the case, it explains why the plot always falls apart at critical moments.]

[Interesting, interesting, the book-transcending protagonist against the reincarnated mother and daughter, this showdown will surely create an unbelievably exciting spark, the anticipation for the future plot is maxed out.]

[...]

Lady Yun: "..."

Yun Wanyao: "..."

How did they become reincarnated?

Alright, alright, let her think what she wants, as long as she’s happy.

However, if that’s the case, does it mean they can wreak havoc on the plot at will in the future, without any scruples?

That’s good too, so let her believe they are reincarnated.

With the support of her inner voice, they’re not much different from reincarnated ones anyway.

"Alright, got it, Mother. I’ll go back and make an account book now, and clearly record everything King Qi sent over."

Yun Wanyao came back to her senses, stood up, and collected the clothes and headdress from the table.

"Okay, I’ll have someone escort you back."

The set of headdress pieces was quite heavy, with hundreds of items large and small, each worth a fortune, and absolutely must not be chipped or damaged.

Lady Yun was afraid Yun Wanyao might accidentally drop a few items, so she called Xiao Tao and another maid to help.

Back at the courtyard, Yun Wanyao carefully sorted out everything that Mo Yuanhao had sent before.

Looking at the boxes filling up the room, she absent-mindedly picked up a Golden Jade Bracelet, her chest feeling stuffed with cotton, making it hard to breathe.

"Yao’er, this bracelet was a token of affection that Father gave Mother years ago, there are two in total. Before Mother passed away, she gave one to elder brother, and one to me, saying it’s for me to pass down to my future daughter-in-law."

"I, the king, will marry no one but Yao’er. So now, this bracelet is for Yao’er, fulfilling Mother’s wish. I hope Yao’er will cherish it in the future~"

The words he said back then when he placed this bracelet on her wrist echoed in her ears. At that time, he spoke with determination, stating he would marry no one but her, his expression extremely devout.

Her heart was filled with joy, cherishing this bracelet as a treasure.

But now, everything has changed.

He has become someone else’s destined husband.

Even though up to now, he hasn’t entangled with that woman and still treats her well, she feels no sense of security.

She is utterly confused, not knowing how to handle this relationship.

A wave of bitterness surged up, and Yun Wanyao suddenly couldn’t stop her sadness.

She cried silently, holding the bracelet, until night fell, her eyes swollen from crying, before she sniffled, stopped, and pulled out an account book to start recording.

Yet, she couldn’t concentrate her attention no matter what, repeatedly making mistakes, ruining three account books in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Angrily, she threw the account book to the ground and stomped on it fiercely a few times.

Hua Wu, who had never seen her this furious or this heartbroken from crying, was too frightened to even breathe next to her.

"Hua Wu, go call my big brother and second brother."

"Yes."

Hua Wu, as if granted amnesty, quickly ran out. Soon, Yun Wanye pushed Yun Wanchen in a wheelchair over.

Seeing Yun Wanchen in the wheelchair, Yun Wanyao was extremely speechless, her mouth twitching hard.

Is Big Brother really planning to keep pretending?

Who exactly is he putting on this act for?

His legs are clearly healed, yet he still sits in that contraption, doesn’t he find it cumbersome?

"Hey, what happened to you? Why are your eyes swollen like walnuts? Did you cry?"

After pushing Yun Wanchen into the room, Yun Wanye strode over, noticing her red and swollen eyes, looking like she had cried for a long time.

He immediately frowned, his expression grew more serious.

"Who bullied you? Tell me."

"No one bullied me."

Yun Wanyao sniffled, replying in a soft voice.

Yun Wanye rolled his eyes at her words, not believing a bit, "No one bullied you, and you cry? Since when did you become such a crybaby?"

"Forget it, say it if you want, or not if you don’t, why did you call Big Brother and me over?"

"I have something I’d like Big Brother and you to help with."

Yun Wanyao pointed at the boxes scattered all over the ground, feeling extremely troubled, "Mother asked me to account for all these things, but my head hurts so much. I’ve already ruined three account books, you and Big Brother are free anyway, could you help me with the bookkeeping?"
