Chapter 58 Rong Zhen: Don't be presumptuous

"Alright, Mother, my sister is already pitiful enough now that she's divorced, so don't blame her anymore." Yun Yao shook her arm, pretending to plead for Yun Wei.

Madam Xu sighed, "You're so forgiving and always speak well of her, but she doesn't appreciate it."

"Mother, what are you saying? We're family. Even if we've had disagreements, do you really hold grudges? Seeing my sister in such a sorry state breaks my heart." Yun Yao said sadly.

Upon hearing this, the anger on Yun Yueshan and the others vanished.

Yun Qi smiled and said, "Yao Yao is truly our family's lucky star. If Yun Wei had half of your understanding and kindness, we wouldn't have ended up in this divorce."

His wife, Madam Qi, also praised, "Yaoyao is so kind-hearted."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, but she said seriously, "There's no time to lose. Father, you should send someone to bring my sister back as soon as possible, so that she won't suffer outside."

Madam Xu frowned and said, "But the capital is so big, where are we supposed to look?"

“An inn,” Yun Yao said confidently. “Since my sister left the Li family and hasn’t returned to the Yun family, she must be staying at an inn temporarily. Father only needs to send people to search for her at various inns.”

“Yao Yao is right. Yun Wei has nowhere to go, so naturally she can only stay at an inn.” Yun Qi nodded in agreement.

"Then send someone to the inn to look for it," Yun Yueshan said.

……

"Ah sneeze——"

Yunwei, who was sitting under a tree reading a book, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

Seeing this, Tian'er quickly took a cloak and draped it over her shoulders, asking with concern, "Miss, have you caught a cold?"

Yunwei ripped the cloak off her shoulders and looked at her with a complicated expression. "With the sun so bright, can't you see it?"

“I saw it, but even in the hottest weather, you can easily catch a cold if you’re not careful,” Tian’er said earnestly.

Yunwei said with a laugh, "I didn't catch a cold."

“But Miss sneezed several times just now,” Tian’er said.

"Then someone must be talking badly about me behind my back," Yunwei joked.

Upon hearing this, Tian'er exclaimed indignantly, "That must be a member of the Li family!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei fell silent.

She did not inform the Yun family about her divorce from Li Yaoting, and the signatures and fingerprints of her parents on the divorce agreement were written by herself.

She can imitate anyone's handwriting.

Li Yaoting couldn't tell at all.

However, Li Yaoting was so flustered by the poisoning of Madam Li that he forgot to send someone to the Yun family to inquire.

If Li Yaoting had sent someone to inquire, the divorce wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

If the Yun family finds out she wants a divorce, they will definitely try to persuade her again.

Not only will it waste time, it will also cause unpleasantness.

Thinking that she hadn't gone out since moving to Mantuo Garden, Yunwei put down her book, stood up and said to Tian'er, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Tian'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily.

Back when she lived in the Li family, the young lady often went out, but they never took her with them.

Aside from her previous trip to the brothel to sell medicine, this was the first time she had ever actually gone out with a lady.

However, as soon as the master and servant stepped out the door, they were met by Steward Ding, who was rushing over.

"The master is going out?" Steward Ding was taken aback.

Yun Wei nodded. "I want to go out for a walk. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Steward Ding sighed, "It's someone from the Regent's Palace looking for the owner."

"What do they want from me?" Yun Wei frowned.

"That Eunuch Sang didn't say, only that the Regent had invited him. Eunuch Sang is still at Qianjin Pavilion, waiting for the master," Steward Ding replied.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei looked at Tian'er. Tian'er quickly replied, "Miss, please go ahead and attend to your business. Don't worry about me."

Yunwei nodded, "Then I'll take you out to play again next time."

"Okay," Tian'er replied crisply.

When Yunwei followed Steward Ding to Qianjin Pavilion, she indeed saw Sang Qing waiting there.

Upon seeing Yun Wei arrive, Sang Qing immediately greeted her with great enthusiasm, "Master Yun, we've been waiting for you! We didn't know you were divorced, so we went to the Li family first before coming here."

When he went to the Li family, he learned that Yun Dong's family had divorced.

I never expected the Yun family to be so decisive; they agreed to a divorce so readily.

The master doesn't know about this yet.

Sang Qing pondered: I must report this matter to my master when I return.

Seeing the inexplicable excitement on the eunuch's face, Yun Wei frowned. "Eunuch Sang, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Is there something you need?"

“Yes, it’s an extremely urgent matter. Yun Dongjia, come with us now.” Sang Qing collected his thoughts and said with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei assumed that the toxins in Rong Zhen's body had changed, so she didn't delay any longer and followed him.

However, halfway through the journey, Yunwei noticed something was wrong.

“This is not the way to the Regent’s Palace.” She lifted the curtain, glanced outside, and frowned.

Sang Qing then explained, "Master Yun, we're not going to the Regent's Palace, we're going to the Imperial Palace."

"The palace?" Yun Wei asked in surprise. "The Regent is in the palace?"

“Yes, Master is waiting for Master Yun at the palace,” Sang Qing replied.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei said nothing more.

After the carriage arrived at the palace gate, it drove straight inside.

Soon after, the carriage stopped.

"Master Yun, we've arrived at Shou Kang Palace." Sang Qing said, then stood up first and lifted the curtain for Yun Wei.

Yunwei walked out and looked at the palace before her, a question forming in her mind. "Eunuch Sang, where is this...?"

"This is where the Empress Dowager resides," Sang Qing replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei nodded thoughtfully.

Just as he stepped off the carriage, a roguish voice suddenly came from behind him, "Sang Qing, where did you kidnap this fairy from?"

Sang Qing turned his head and said helplessly, "Young Prince, you can't just talk nonsense. Our family never does anything like kidnapping."

Seeing his helpless expression, Yunwei turned her head curiously and saw a young man in a red robe standing in front of her.

The boy was tall and slender, with a pair of captivating eyes, snow-white skin, a delicate nose, and rosy lips. Coupled with the red robe he wore, he gave off an androgynous air. If it weren't for the prominent Adam's apple on his neck, she would have thought he was a girl.

Seeing her scrutinizing him, the young man paused, then slowly opened his folding fan, a playful look on his face. "What is your name, young lady?"

Yunwei glanced at him but ignored him.

Unexpectedly, this only fueled the boy's curiosity even more.

He found it quite strange to see Yun Wei's cold and aloof demeanor.

He clicked his tongue, closed his fan, and flirtatiously tried to touch her chin.

Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes turned cold, and silver light flashed at her fingertips as she was about to make a move. But at that moment, a majestic voice rebuked her: "Rong Xue, do not be presumptuous."

Just moments before, the arrogant and roguish young man froze, his movements halting, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, clearly showing fear and panic.

Yunwei glanced at him, then turned to look at the man who had spoken.

A tall, imposing man, dressed in a wide black robe and with his dark hair tied up with a gold crown, walked towards them from afar, exuding both nobility and majesty.

It was Rong Zhen.
