Chapter 95: Chapter 95 - 51: I Bet He’s Here to Set You Up
[Seventh Uncle, goodbye.]
Held by the nanny, completely unaware that she had once again become a tool, Yun Wanqing reached out her small arm to wave at Yun Zhan.
She was certain Yun Zhan wouldn’t notice her gesture, even if he did, he wouldn’t think much of it. However, Yun Zhan not only noticed but also understood her intention without much thought.
Seeing her waving little arm and hearing her inner thoughts, Yun Zhan couldn’t help but smile, feeling incredibly moved.
If only Xiao Si were his daughter!
If he went to his eldest brother to ask for Xiao Si and have her adopted, his brother and sister-in-law surely wouldn’t agree, right?
Sigh~
Just thinking about not being able to have a magical daughter like Yun Wanqing made Yun Zhan feel a wave of disappointment.
But then he thought of how he didn’t even have a wife yet, which made him feel even more disappointed.
Watching the nanny carry Yun Wanqing away until she was completely out of sight, Yun Zhan turned and headed to the storeroom.
[Nanny, why did you leave me at Seventh Uncle’s place?]
[Doing so makes me feel strange.]
[Clearly, Mother and the nanny are around, and so is Sister Xiao Tao, why would you leave me with Seventh Uncle??]
[Is it because you all know things will go south, and I’ll rely on Seventh Uncle in the future, so you send me there first to build a relationship with him?]
[Wow, the view at the Duke Mansion is quite nice, with painted buildings, palace halls, colorful pavilions, and grand constructions, truly beautiful beyond words.]
[The architecture here is different from what I saw on the day of the full moon banquet, it seems the Duke Mansion is indeed very large.]
[...]
Lying in the nanny’s arms, Yun Wanqing was initially bored and talking to herself, but then unexpectedly captivated by the scenery before her.
The nanny couldn’t hear her thoughts and naturally didn’t know how active her mind was.
Back at Wan’an Garden, after being fed, Yun Wanqing was taken to Lady Yun’s bedroom.
[Mother, I’m back~]
Lady Yun was checking the accounts, but upon hearing her daughter’s thoughts, she marked her place and set the account book aside, getting up to take the child from the nanny.
"Your Seventh Uncle said he had nothing to do today and wanted to take you to look around. Did Xiao Si get scared and cry in the unfamiliar environment after waking up?"
[Didn’t cry, Mother~]
[Turns out Seventh Uncle was too bored to be idle, I knew he was the one who took me away.]
[It seems I really am very cute and charming~]
Knowing her mother couldn’t hear her responses, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but reply.
When people are asked questions, whether they want to answer or not, and regardless of whether they can speak, they tend to subconsciously think about it.
Lady Yun: "..."
Yes, yes, Xiao Si is the cutest, Xiao Si is the most charming!
Just then, Yun Wanyao’s personal maid Hua Wu came in and bowed to Lady Yun.
"Madam, the Princess and Miss Jiang want to see Fourth Miss, so the young lady specifically sent me to convey the message."
[...]
[When did the Princess and Miss Jiang come to my house?]
[Suddenly I remember, Miss Jiang didn’t seem to come last time to the full moon banquet.]
[Right, right, the story mentioned that she stained her dress during her first period and feared offending the adults, so she didn’t come inside.]
[However, she sent her maid to greet Sister, but the maid spoke unclearly, and Sister thought something serious had happened, so she rushed out quickly.]
[Because of this, the Princess found an opportunity to harm the protagonist, but ended up hurting herself.]
[Oh dear, there were too many people at the full moon banquet last time, I didn’t think about Miss Jiang at all.]
[Let’s go, Mother, let’s see the renowned first talented woman of Da Wu Country.]
Yun Wanqing reached out and tugged at Lady Yun’s sleeve.
Lady Yun: "..."
Her eyes moved from her daughter’s adorable little hand, and she softly asked, "Where are the Princess and they?"
"Madam, they’re in the young lady’s yard."
"Alright."
Lady Yun took Yun Wanqing towards Yun Wanyao’s yard.
Originally she intended for the nanny to carry Yun Wanqing over, but unexpectedly upon hearing they were going to meet the Princess, the nanny got extremely scared, terrified of offending the Princess, and begged Lady Yun not to send her.
The nanny’s family and husband’s family were all ordinary commoners, and before becoming Yun Wanqing’s nanny, she had never served anyone with status, nor did she understand the etiquette.
The biggest people she had seen in her life were the kind and amiable Duke Ning’s family.
The imperial family members filled her with intimidation, like tigers, extremely fearful, she dared not face the Princess, let alone possibly handle her.
