Yun Changfeng harbored doubts, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Yet, he thought little of it. With so many people in the mansion, could Shu'er still be bullied by the Night King?
Besides, the Night King would certainly not speak to Shu'er.
It was only for the sake of Zhan Xiaoli and Yun Xiaojing that they were reluctantly spending a little time together.
Mm-hmm!
Old father Yun Changfeng left with peace of mind.
The moment Yun Changfeng departed.
Zhan Tianye signaled Qiu Lu to stand guard nearby.
Seeing that there were no servants around.
Yun Shu, with her eyes half-lowered, knew very well what Zhan Tianye intended to say.
She waited for him to speak.
"Yun Shu."
"Please call me Miss Yun. We are not that familiar," Yun Shu said, looking up at him with a hint of distance in her tone.
Zhan Tianye's expression darkened, tinged with a chill.
He suddenly felt that the person before him bore no trace of the woman from five years ago. However, her father-daughter affection with Yun Changfeng seemed genuine. Furthermore, Yun Changfeng was no simple man; he wouldn't treat Yun Shu, who wasn't his biological daughter, so well. Therefore, the Yun Shu before him was indeed the Yun Shu from five years ago.
Yet, Yun Changfeng still felt she wasn't.
A vague, inexplicable intuition.
Added to that, he had discovered her secret.
"No, we are very familiar," Zhan Tianye said sternly.
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly, "Are we very familiar? How come I don't know?"
Her heart suddenly pounded.
Had he discovered something about what happened back then?
She quickly reconsidered. He shouldn't have found out.
Yun Yueyin would certainly not leak anything about that year.
Her gaze shifted, and she said softly, "I believe the Night King already knows. Last night's incident… your dark guards are very capable."
They had managed to foil her plans multiple times.
This was no ordinary feat for dark guards.
Zhan Tianye raised an eyebrow. Hearing her words, he suddenly felt it was fair. They both had secrets, only his secret was now known to her.
"Why did you go to the Regent's mansion last night?" Zhan Tianye asked.
Yun Shu chuckled, "I didn't go to the Regent's mansion. I was just passing by nearby."
After all, they had no evidence to prove she had infiltrated the Regent's mansion at night.
Moreover, Zhan Tianye and the Regent were sworn enemies.
It was just that Zhan Tianye had discovered her secret of being skilled in martial arts.
What was the big deal?
He also knew she was good at medicine.
Furthermore, Zhan Tianye had not yet obtained the recipe for the antidote from her. What was she afraid of?
Therefore, Yun Shu was currently very self-righteous.
Seeing Yun Shu deny everything and act so boldly, Zhan Tianye laughed instead of getting angry.
This was the real her!
An unbelievable thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"Do I need to marry someone to detoxify?" Zhan Tianye asked.
Seeing that Zhan Tianye wasn't pressing her further about last night's events but had instead changed the subject, Yun Shu was less confrontational.
"Not just marry anyone. It has to be an unmarried woman, and only an unmarried woman."
This was an ironclad rule.
Zhan Tianye looked at her.
She was still unmarried.
Yun Shu felt inexplicably stared at by Zhan Tianye, "Night King, just say what you have to say!"
Speak your mind, why stare at her?
She truly didn't want to waste her breath here with Zhan Tianye. She really wanted to go and watch the chicks with Zhan Xiaoli and Yun Xiaojing.
Suddenly.
Zhan Tianye said directly, "Since that's the case, I will marry you."
Yun Shu was terribly shocked, "What did you say?!"
He intended to use her to detoxify?!
Had his brain malfunctioned?
Didn't he think this sudden idea was too insane?
Could it be that he thought she was playing some trick? Or had Zhan Tianye come up with such a method to detoxify? Damn it, she didn't want to become some antidote!
"I said I will marry you," Zhan Tianye repeated.
He hadn't expected her reaction to be so extreme. Could it be shock?
Yun Shu glanced at Zhan Xiaoli and Yun Xiaojing, who were walking back from not too far away.
She lowered her voice slightly, "No, I disagree."
Zhan Tianye's expression immediately turned as cold as frost, "Why?"
"There's no need to talk about feelings. I'm not saying whether I still like you or not, but it's just impossible! You can marry any woman in the capital, as long as she is unmarried, or if she is still a maiden, she can help you detoxify. Only I cannot help you detoxify!" Yun Shu said, her lips twitching.
Even if she hadn't given birth to Xiaojing and Xiaoli, she would not agree to marry Zhan Tianye.
She didn't like him.
He didn't like her either.
What was the point of talking about marriage!
Zhan Tianye immediately pursed his thin lips, which were etched with hard lines.
From afar, Zhan Xiaoli shared his thoughts with Yun Xiaojing.
He wanted to play matchmaker for his father and mother, but his own strength was limited!
Yun Xiaojing was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, "You want to play matchmaker for them?"
"Yes!" Zhan Xiaoli nodded vigorously.
He really hoped his father and mother could be together. That way, he would see his mother every day and wouldn't have to worry about her being snatched away by others!
For example, Yun Xiaojing seemed very eager to snatch his mother away!
Yun Xiaojing rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Mom… Aunt Yun Shu won't agree to marry your father!"
"Why wouldn't she? How do you know Aunt Yun Shu won't agree if you haven't tried?" Zhan Xiaoli questioned.
Yun Xiaojing was helpless, and his voice suddenly lowered even further, "I know Aunt Yun Shu is your mother."
Zhan Xiaoli was startled, "How did you know?"
He had kept it a secret, hadn't told anyone, so why did Yun Xiaojing know?
Yun Xiaojing chuckled, "I know a lot of things!"
"Did Mom tell you?" Zhan Xiaoli asked, frowning.
No wonder he felt Yun Xiaojing wanted to steal his mother away; it turned out he knew this secret!
Yun Xiaojing shook his head, "No, I've known for a long time! I told you everything, I'm your younger brother, you're my elder brother, and Aunt Yun Shu is my mother, my biological mother! I sneaked into the mansion just to see you!"
Zhan Xiaoli looked at Yun Xiaojing in disbelief, clearly shocked by this news.
Seeing the stunned Zhan Xiaoli, Yun Xiaojing secretly whispered again, "Mother doesn't like the scumbag dad! And there are so many uncles who like Mother, why would Mother like the scumbag dad? Those uncles are also very capable!"
Zhan Xiaoli was still in shock and hadn't recovered, but he keenly caught two words, "Scumbag dad?"
"Yes! I call him scumbag dad! He's not good to Mother at all. If he's not a scumbag dad, what is he?" Yun Xiaojing snorted.
Zhan Xiaoli still hadn't fully recovered.
Brother?
He actually had a brother?
Suddenly.
He frowned, "Are you sure you were born to Mother?"
Yun Xiaojing nodded vigorously, "I'm sure! We were both born to Mother! You were born about fifteen minutes before me!"
"We're twins?!" Zhan Xiaoli was even more shocked!
