Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Now It’s Probably My Turn to Be the Hot Topic
My little sister said, after tonight, that Su Qianxue would no longer be Su Qianxue.
Instead, she would be someone from the Otherworld, whose soul transmigrated here, becoming the protagonist of this world, and eventually leading the Yun Family to ruin and unbearable tragedy.
Compared to what the Su Family did, today he and his father just humiliated the Su Family, which is really too merciful.
"Cousin, cousin save me~"
As they were about to return to the Duke Mansion, a figure suddenly rushed over, blocking Yun Wanye and Cang Xuan.
The girl was wearing tattered clothes, her face dirty, looking completely different from when she was thrown out of the Yun Family.
She looked at him with red eyes, weak and panicked, clinging to him like a drowning person grasping at a straw, desperately pleading.
"Cousin, the Xu Family wants to send me to be a concubine, I don’t want to be a concubine, I beg you, cousin, save me."
After being expelled from the Yun Family, Xu Qingqing had nowhere to go and had to return to the Xu Family in desperation.
Originally, she thought, even though she was a girl, she was still of Xu family blood. Without her mother to rely on, her grandmother would surely take pity on her.
But who knew, that old hag kept her only to pave the way for her grandson, intending to sell her to a man in his fifties as a concubine.
She feigned agreement, deceiving the Xu Family into letting their guard down, and escaped when they were not paying attention.
Knowing she couldn’t get into the Duke Mansion, she waited outside, squatting and waiting for over an hour until she finally saw Yun Wanye.
Yun Wanye squinted at her with mockery, a cold smile on his lips.
"Have you forgotten your surname is Xu? This is a family affair of the Xu Family, what does it have to do with me?"
He had always disliked this cousin, feeling her intentions were improper, only not making things difficult for her out of respect for his mother.
But she, living off the Yun Family, envied and resented Yao’er, and even more so in the future, would conspire with outsiders to harm his own sister. How hateful! And yet she dared to seek his help? Ridiculous!
This was a situation he had orchestrated for her; why would he save her?
"Cousin, I am your sister, how can you be so heartless?"
Not expecting him to be so unfeeling, Xu Qingqing stared at him dazedly, tears streaming down, looking extremely pitiful.
"Don’t randomly claim relations; my only siblings are Yun Wanyao and Xiao Si. What kind of sister is a Xu to me?"
After speaking, Yun Wanye left without any mercy,
Xu Qingqing hurried to catch up, trying to cling on, but was coldly stopped by Cang Xuan. She could only watch helplessly as her lifeline snapped little by little, falling into despair.
The prey had come to the door, yet Yun Wanye did not immediately have her sent back to the Xu Family. This was not an act of forgiveness, but rather to let her endure a few days of hiding and wandering.
She couldn’t escape!
Wan’an Garden.
Yun Wanqing woke from her sleep to find it was already sunset.
After eating and drinking her fill, she lay in Lady Yun’s arms out of boredom, thinking this and that, while Lady Yun, her eyes closed, pretended to nap, quietly listening to her amusing thoughts.
[I’ve been reincarnated for several days now, and I still don’t know if there’s been any twist in that scandal with the big movie star and that Wu XX.]
[Sigh, speaking of scandals, now it’s probably their turn to gossip about me.]
[Given my status in the world, the autopsy results would definitely hit the hot searches, maybe even snag all the online attention. Celebrities and influencers who recently hit the blacklist with scandals are probably lined up to thank me.]
[A so-called genius of the Medicine King Clan, actually poisoned myself to death, who knows how the netizens will mock me.]
[Ah ah ah, what a shameful disgrace, just utterly disgraceful.]
As long as she thought of the netizens’ ability to make jokes, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but wish to cross back and erase the shame.
Dead is dead, but to be posthumously disgraced too, losing not just her own face but also her ancestors’, how could she remain calm?
Luckily, after arriving in the Underworld, she was directly sent here, otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to face her ancestors who hadn’t reincarnated yet.
Lady Yun opened her eyes, watching her expression of regret and humiliation, finding it quite amusing.
So, this little one had poisoned herself to death and reincarnated into her family!
Although she didn’t know what movies, hot searches, celebrities, and netizens were, she roughly understood that her Xiao Si had quite the status and fame in her past life as a descendant of the Medicine King Clan.
"Mother, where’s Yun Wanyao?"
At this moment, Yun Wanye walked in briskly.
After returning, he first looked for Yun Zheng to report back, but was told Yun Zheng was busy, unable to see him. He then went to find Yun Wanyao, but ended up in vain once more as Yun Wanyao was not home.
Lady Yun looked up at him, speaking softly, "Princess Hua Yang and the Eldest Daughter of the Jiang Family, upon hearing she returned from the women’s academy, invited her out."
Suddenly hearing this name, Yun Wanye paused slightly, feeling a heavy block in his heart.
[Tsk, second brother doesn’t look happy.]
[Indeed, having liked someone since childhood but now unable to even exchange a word, and always being met with a cold face, must be quite a stab to the heart.]
Yun Wanqing tilted her head, watching him with a hint of schadenfreude in her heart.
"???"
Does Ye’er like someone?
Princess Hua Yang or the Eldest Daughter of the Jiang Family?
Lady Yun was taken aback, never having guessed that Yun Wanye liked one of the two.
But whether it was Princess Hua Yang or the Eldest Daughter of the Jiang Family, both were already engaged, so what could be done?
"Oh, got it."
Realizing Lady Yun’s gaze, Yun Wanye quickly regained his composure, forcing his expression back to normal.
Afraid Yun Wanqing might reveal more information to their mother, he quickly walked over, picking her up, planting several heavy kisses on her forehead, deliberately disturbing her thoughts.
"Little sister, have you missed second brother?"
[Please, you just carried me this afternoon.]
Yun Wanqing didn’t want to be even slightly perfunctory; after all, she couldn’t speak, and second brother couldn’t hear her thoughts, so she didn’t need to soothe him against her true feelings.
"Mm, from your little look, second brother knows you miss me very much."
[Not at all, it’s clearly a look of wanting to roll my eyes.]
"Hahaha, little sister, you’re just too cute~"
[...]
Can Ye’er actually hear Xiao Si’s thoughts?
Lady Yun, pulled back by the siblings’ peculiar interaction, looked towards Yun Wanye inquisitively, temporarily setting aside the matter of whom he liked.
This issue came so suddenly; it would be best to test Xiao Si later and gather more information before making plans.
"By the way, Ye’er, I heard from Xiao Tao that you went to the Su Mansion on behalf of your father. What happened to the Su Family’s daughter? You didn’t lose etiquette, did you?"
Suddenly thinking of this, Lady Yun couldn’t help but ask.
Her husband really was something, asking Yun Wanye to go to the Su Mansion instead of going himself, not worried at all about Su Family’s dissatisfaction.
"I was just about to tell you about this, mother. Dad was too much, he only prepared a pot of Evergreen Tree."
"He didn’t want to go himself, so he sent me. Mother, tell me, who goes to visit a sick person bearing a tree?"
Sending a tree was bound to anger mother eventually, so instead of waiting for her to find out and get mad, it was better to confess now.
He didn’t gain any travel expenses and made the trip for nothing; of course, he wouldn’t take the blame for this.
Thus, Yun Wanye ruthlessly dodged responsibility, putting all the actions on his father.
