"She actually admitted it!"
Gu Zhiruo and Tang Hui looked at Yun Shu in disbelief.
Jiang Luoxi also looked at Yun Shu.
The Empress Dowager’s lips curved slightly. Her admission was a good thing.
In Zhan Tianye's eyes, dark as if they could not see the end, a flicker of light instantly crossed. She admitted it!
After Yun Shu finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at everyone. When she entered the palace today, Yun Xiao Jing had also wanted to appear before everyone openly. She had already made up her mind to let the world know that she was the mother of their three little ones.
Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng were not children of unknown mothers.
Yun Xiao Jing was not a child of an unknown father.
As for anything else, it was unimportant.
"It's good that you've admitted it. I watched Prince Ye grow up and absolutely cannot ignore this matter. Since you've already admitted it, there should be no punishment! Lest all the women in the world learn from you, and in consideration of your father, General Yun, who was loyal to the army and country with brilliant military achievements, I will not punish you severely. I will only sentence you to go to a nunnery to shave your head and practice asceticism, copying scriptures and chanting Buddhist prayers daily, hoping to gain Prince Ye's forgiveness sooner." The Empress Dowager spoke with an air of magnanimity.
Yun Yue Yin smiled triumphantly.
Zhan Ming frowned secretly. Sent to a nunnery?
Gu Zhiruo and Tang Hui exchanged glances, their faces filled with anxiety.
Yun Shu stood up.
She surveyed her surroundings and was about to speak.
Zhan Tianye preempted her, "It was I who took advantage of her back then."
"What?!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Yun Shu looked at Zhan Tianye with some disbelief. In fact, she had already thought of a countermeasure.
But she never expected that he would disregard everyone's gaze and say that he had taken advantage of her back then?
Did he know what that meant?
It would ruin his image in the hearts of many women.
She secretly glanced at a palace servant hidden in the shadows and shook her head almost imperceptibly.
Because Zhan Tianye had stepped forward, her prepared plan to clear her name was no longer needed.
Since this step was saved, it was time to get straight to the point.
The Empress Dowager's expression changed. She never expected Zhan Tianye to say such a thing. "Prince Ye, is it because she is the mother of your children that you are..."
"No one can make this King do something he dislikes," Zhan Tianye's words silenced the Empress Dowager.
Zhan Xiao Li immediately ran to Yun Shu's side, hugging her with his little hands. Tears welled up in his beautiful big eyes. "Mother!"
Finally, he could call out "Mother" in front of anyone without reservation!
"Mother!" Gu Xiao Feng also rushed to Yun Shu's side.
The two little ones hugged Yun Shu tightly.
Anyone could see how much they loved their mother.
"Daddy likes Mother! It's not like what you're saying!" Zhan Xiao Li shouted loudly.
If he wasn't trying to save Daddy's face, he would have said that Mother didn't even want to bother with Daddy! If he wanted Mother to like him, Daddy still had a lot more effort to put in!
This statement directly confirmed Zhan Tianye's words.
Yun Yue Yin was stunned. "Prince Ye, don't you hate Yun Shu the most? Why are you speaking up for Yun Shu? Is it because of those two children, Prince Ye?"
This was not what she had expected.
She not only wanted everyone to know that Yun Shu had become a fallen woman who had given birth to children, but also someone despised by Prince Ye.
But now, how could this be?
The Empress Dowager frowned tightly and looked at Yun Yue Yin in anger.
Yun Yue Yin was anxious. "Prince Ye, you say you took advantage of her back then, so why didn't you propose to her after she returned to the capital? Instead, you proposed to Li Yuexian? That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the person in the shadows again, signaling them not to come out yet.
She was also very curious, wanting to see what Zhan Tianye would say.
"Does it concern you for this King to do things?" Zhan Tianye's expression was cold and his eyes bloodthirsty, his words chilling and arrogant.
Yun Yue Yin's lips trembled, her face completely changed. "I... I... I..."
Things were beyond her control!
Beyond her expectations! Even with her sharp mind, her brain went blank at this moment.
She hadn't expected this!
How could she have forgotten that she could reveal the secret, that she could let everyone know the truth of Yun Shu giving birth to children, but she absolutely could not control Prince Ye's thoughts!
She was very clear about how terrifying the Prince Ye who could make Zhan Ming wary truly was!
Moreover, she had inadvertently exposed herself!
Fear immediately crept into her heart, and she quickly looked at Zhan Ming and the Empress Dowager.
"Useless!" Zhan Ming cursed inwardly, then looked at Zhan Tianye with a half-smile. "I didn't expect Prince Ye and the second young lady of Yun family to have had a private affair so early."
"It is indeed surprising to this Empress. Since Prince Ye was very satisfied with the second young lady of Yun family back then, why didn't you directly propose to General Yun?" Although the Empress Dowager's words sounded like a pleasant inquiry, her tone was extremely cold.
Clearly, she was not pleased with Zhan Tianye's sudden protection of Yun Shu.
Zhan Tianye said with a detached coldness that kept people at a distance, "This is a private matter between this King and the second young lady of Yun family. We will decide for ourselves. Thank you for the Empress Dowager's concern."
Zhan Ming smiled sinisterly, his tone chilling. "Very well, I shall await the wedding feast between you and the second young lady of Yun family."
The Empress Dowager's face tightened, and she cursed inwardly, "Detestable!"
Everyone finally understood.
Yun Yue Yin wanted Prince Ye to know the truth, and then in his rage, let the Empress Dowager deal with Yun Shu. As a result, Prince Ye seemed to have already known, and even had feelings for Yun Shu now.
In this way, it seemed that Yun Yue Yin's words had only proven that Yun Shu had given birth to three children, and none of her other objectives had been achieved.
Suddenly.
Someone, it was unclear who, pushed Yun Yue Yin down!
She fell face-first onto the ground!
"Ah!"
Yun Yue Yin screamed.
By the time she wanted to protect herself, it was too late. Her face hit the ground heavily.
As the sharp pain struck, she felt something fall from her face.
"Ah! Your face!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Miss! Don't look, quickly, don't look!" Wen Shu frantically tried to stop them.
Meng Jiatong, who had been secretly watching the incredible events unfolding today, cried out when she saw Yun Yue Yin's painstakingly made fake face damaged from the fall, "Eldest young lady Yun, your fake face cannot come into contact with hard objects! It's ruined!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what had fallen from Yun Yue Yin's face!
It was a fake face!
And Yun Yue Yin's real face was a face covered in scars, which looked terrifying!
"Ah!"
Yun Yue Yin trembled with fear, looking at the fake face on the ground. She grabbed a handkerchief to cover her face. "My face is just allergic, don't look. My face will be fine soon."
Who would believe that?!
Not even a ghost.
Yun Shu gently stroked Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng's heads and looked in the distance.
A palace servant suddenly pointed at Yun Yue Yin. "Ah, this servant remembers! Before entering the palace, I saw you go to a ruined temple with a beggar drinking in a tavern and do those unspeakable things! Regent King, it's possible that the child in Eldest young lady Yun's womb is not yours!"
