Chapter 34: Chapter 34 - 29: Why Does This Plot Always Catch Me Off Guard?

[On the wedding night, after removing the veil, the eldest brother realized his new bride had been swapped.]

[But with the ceremony performed in front of a hall full of guests, they were already deemed husband and wife. Reluctantly, the Yun Family had no choice but to accept the hidden loss.]

[The heroine came in later and changed the plot.]

[She didn’t let her step-sister substitute as the bride, but instead ruined the eldest brother’s reputation and then personally came to retract the marriage, so now who can tell me how it changed to Dad going to withdraw the marriage?]

[Why does the plot keep collapsing again and again?]

[Everyone’s numb, isn’t it?]

[This plot always goes beyond my expectations, making me lose all sense of superiority in holding the script, luckily it always collapses in a good direction, otherwise I’d really be vexed to death.]

Listening to her nonstop inner voice, Lady Yun couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xiao Si is so cute, always suspecting she’s inside a fake novel, always questioning why the plot collapses, yet never doubting them.

I wonder what her mood will be like when she knows her family can hear her inner voice.

To be honest, she’s quite looking forward to it.

"Madam, I’m back,"

Steady footsteps approached from outside, the voice reaching first.

The mother and daughter on the couch immediately craned their necks toward the door with anticipation.

[Oh, Dad’s back, I’m eager to know what happened next.]

[Mom, please ask carefully, I really want to know the outcome of this matter.]

Lady Yun smiled faintly.

In the next instant, Yun Zheng walked in, striding over to the mother and daughter, bending down to pick up the little bundle on the bed who was blowing milk bubbles and reaching out little arms to him.

"Xiao Si, did you miss Dad? Dad’s here to hug you."

’Aiya~’

[Dad, Mom said you went to the Su Family to retract the marriage, quickly get to the point, I’m in a rush.]

Lady Yun: "..."

Knowing you’re in a rush, but darling, hold on for a bit.

"Ahem, husband, how did things go?"

Hearing this, Yun Wanqing immediately looked at Lady Yun with joyful eyes.

[Ahhh, Mom, you’re my mouthpiece, love you even more.]

"..."

Mouthpiece???

The couple learned a new term.

Yun Zheng kissed Yun Wanqing’s little hand first before slowly speaking.

"Yes, things went smoothly. I retrieved Chen’er’s birthday note and token, so the marriage is retracted."

Lady Yun raised an eyebrow, "Madam Su agreed?"

Although she had long heard that Madam Su was dissatisfied with Chen’er, given yesterday’s events at the Su Family, with Madam Su’s fiery disposition, she shouldn’t have consented at this time.

Surely, husband did something.

Yun Zheng yesterday intercepted Su Qianxue midway and spread rumors without informing her in advance, so Lady Yun was also curious now.

"Yes, what can they do if they don’t agree?"

Yun Zheng chuckled, then recounted seeing Su Qianxue at a flower pavilion under the influence of drugs and being ’escorted by a stranger’ to a clinic, leading the rumors that she’d lost her honor to spread throughout the capital.

"That Su Family’s daughter’s reputation is ruined, we’re in the right, they can’t refuse."

That ’stranger’ was likely arranged by the husband, Lady Yun immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter and what her husband did in this incident.

But Yun Wanqing didn’t know any of this, so her big, beautiful black eyes widened again.

[What? Su Qianxue was escorted to a clinic by a stranger? And seen by outsiders? It’s rumored throughout the city that she lost her honor?]

[Where did this stranger come from?]

[That’s too unbelievable. Su Qianxue is the heroine, she must be of a lovely level at least, a pristine beauty at minimum.]

[Would a man who found her under such influences really send her to a clinic? How could there be such a good person in the world?]

[Ridiculous!]

[Su Qianxue cross-dressed and drugged at the flower pavilion fits perfectly, yet when she was supposed to form a bond with the male lead, the plot collapsed, where exactly did it go wrong?]

[I think this suddenly appearing stranger is very suspicious, alas, I’m too young now, otherwise, I’d definitely uncover this ’helpful person’ disrupting the plot.]

[Although their motive is unknown, in a way, they’ve helped our family, so let’s credit them for that for now.]

[...]

No, please!

Listening to her inner voice, Yun Zheng raised a brow slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

It’s lucky she’s too young, unable to reveal the ’helpful person,’ otherwise, it would be her father uncovered.

If it really were so, how would he explain it?

"When I went to retract the marriage, I saw that Su Family’s daughter, I don’t know if it was an illusion or what, but I felt she had changed very much."
