As she spoke, she reached the door.
The maid beside her slammed the door open with a bang, and several people stepped in with their heads held high and their chests out. They sat down casually in the middle of the table, and Yun Yixiao even looked around Yun Xi's boudoir without any restraint.
This didn't look like they were coming to visit her, but more like they were coming to make a scene.
Sai Xing rolled her eyes and whispered to Yun Xi:
"Miss, look, look, they've been like this since they entered the door. It's like they're in their own home."
Liu Jingyue couldn't stop them, and didn't want Yun Xi to be mocked and insulted by their words again. She pulled a long face and said:
"Sister, what are you talking about? We're all women. Don't you know how important our appearance is to us women?"
"The poison that Yingying was poisoned with is extremely insidious. It first damages the face. Sister, you still say such things. Do you have to wait until this poison is on Manzhu before you can experience it yourself?"
Yun Yixiao's face changed immediately. She quickly protected Wei Manzhu behind her, afraid that her precious daughter would be hurt even a little bit.
Yun Xi and Sai Xing behind the curtain almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
However, the old lady Yun couldn't stand it anymore. She stared at Liu Jingyue severely and said angrily:
"How do you talk to your sister! You're really rude!"
"Isn't what Xiao'er said right? I'm her grandmother. I've personally condescended to come and see her, and I didn't even ask her, a little girl, to come and greet me. I've already given her enough face. As a result, you're still being so evasive. What? Now that she's engaged to the King of Yu'an, do I, her grandmother, not even have the right to come and see her?"
"Mother..."
"Grandmother, you're being too serious,"
Liu Jingyue's face turned blue and black. She was about to defend herself when Yun Xi suddenly interrupted her:
"It's because I'm in a bad mood because I've damaged my appearance. I've been in a very strange mood recently. Mother is also afraid that I'll suddenly lose my temper and say something offensive that will hurt the faces of grandmother and aunt."
"Actually, I think mother is too worried. After all, grandmother and aunt are both people with children. I think they must understand the pain in my heart very well. Even if I accidentally offend something later, I think they won't blame me. Right?"
These words made the old lady Yun and Yun Yixiao choke at the same time. They looked at each other and both sank their faces.
It was still Wei Manzhu who noticed something was wrong. She smiled awkwardly and changed the topic:
"Cousin's voice sounds quite good. It seems that the antidote sent by Young Master Shen is still quite useful."
It was originally a sentence that was meant to ease the atmosphere, but Yun Yixiao suddenly found something to say.
She rolled her eyes and said with a half-smile:
"That's right. It's still our Xi girl who has great charm. She can hold on to the King of Yu'an and be friends with Second Young Master Shen. She's really capable. Hehe..."
Who couldn't hear the meaning of this clearly complimenting but actually demeaning sentence, which was intended to accuse Yun Xi of being promiscuous?
Liu Jingyue immediately turned cold and said sternly:
"Sister, be careful with your words! Xiaoxi only has normal interactions with Young Master Shen. If sister says such things, isn't it deliberately damaging Xiaoxi's reputation!"
Even the old lady, who had always been on Yun Yixiao's side, couldn't help but give her a warning look.
After all, Yun Xi was still the young lady of the Yun family. If her reputation was damaged, it wouldn't do her any good.
Pretending not to see it, Yun Yixiao covered her lips and smiled. She looked surprised:
"Oh, since it's something without any basis, isn't it easier for you, sister-in-law, to be misunderstood if you're so anxious to explain?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm just casually talking. I won't let the King of Yu'an know. Don't be in a hurry."
"You..."
Liu Jingyue was so angry that she was half dead. She couldn't refute. Just as she was feeling aggrieved, she heard Yun Xi's cold smile and asked innocently and simply:
"Listening to aunt's words, are you jealous?"
"What, what?"
Yun Yixiao didn't react to what Yun Xi meant.
However, the old lady Yun suddenly had a bad premonition.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yun Yixiao was a married woman. She wasn't in the Yun family and didn't see the scene where Yun Xi killed everyone. As one of the people who witnessed the whole process, the old lady Yun still couldn't figure out how Yun Xi knew those secrets that couldn't be more secret.
And now, the old lady Yun had the same feeling as when she saw Yun Xi kill someone and hurt their hearts.
"Xiao'er..."
The old lady Yun quickly spoke up, intending to save her daughter's face.
However, Yun Xi was faster than her. When the old lady Yun had only said the word "Xiao", Yun Xi had quickly said a long string:
"What I mean is, aunt said that A Yuan values me, and Young Master Shen is also on good terms with me. This word is so sour that I think you're jealous."
"However, it's also normal. I can understand. After all, aunt has been thinking about A Yuan in my family. She even wants to send cousin Manzhu in as a concubine. She's looking forward to cousin Manzhu capturing A Yuan's heart one day and supporting you."
"It's a pity. Aunt planned carefully to send cousin Manzhu in front of A Yuan, but A Yuan didn't even look at cousin Manzhu. He only cared about me. Aunt must be very jealous, right?"
Everyone can talk casually.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Yun Yixiao slapped the table and stood up. Her face turned green and then red. She was too ashamed to look into the old lady Yun's eyes.
Obviously, the old lady Yun didn't know about this either. She was shocked and widened her eyes. She glared at Yun Yixiao and said:
"What? Xiao'er, you actually, actually had this idea? Manzhu is your own daughter!"
"Mother..."
Yun Yixiao couldn't hold her face. She was ashamed and wanted to defend herself. However, Yun Xi didn't give her a chance. She continued on her own:
"But aunt, didn't cousin Manzhu tell you? She already has someone she likes. She doesn't want to enter my prince's mansion as a concubine. She only loves my brother wholeheartedly."
"Manzhu?"
Yun Yixiao was shocked and opened her mouth wide. She looked at Wei Manzhu, whose face was red, in disbelief:
"Is this, is this true?"
Wei Manzhu was panicked. She was too ashamed to look up. She stammered for a long time, but still couldn't say a single word.
However, the old lady Yun thought that Wei Manzhu's idea was good. At least, she was smarter than her biological mother.
Although she didn't like Liu Jingyue, she still loved Yun Qi very much. She had watched Wei Manzhu grow up since she was a child. With this relationship, she was naturally happy.
Therefore, the old lady Yun laughed and slapped the table and said:
"Good! Manzhu is the kind of idea that a proper noble girl should have. For a good family, how can you rush to be a concubine for someone!"
"I think the boy Yun Qi has never been married. When he was young, he was very good friends with Manzhu. With this friendship, the two of them will definitely be able to live a good life."
As she said this, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Liu Jingyue and snorted softly and said:
"Otherwise, if you marry someone from the outside who you don't know the roots of, who's domineering and tyrannical, a good family will be torn apart."
"But mother..."
Seeing that her plan was about to fail, how could Yun Yixiao be willing? She didn't care about insulting Liu Jingyue anymore. She quickly argued for herself:
"Yun Qi has always regarded Manzhu as his younger sister. I don't think he has that kind of thought. It's better to marry into the prince's mansion. They're all sisters in the same family. It's good to have a care with Xi girl. It's always better than giving it to an outsider."
