Zhan Xiaoli's eyes were red.
The large eyes glistened with moisture.
He looked incredibly wronged.
Yun Shu was stunned, then pulled Zhan Xiaoli into her arms, coaxing him gently while making a fierce promise, "Tell Auntie Yun Shu, who bullied you? How dare they bully you? Auntie Yun Shu will beat him for you!"
Little Li, such a strong little man, had actually red, wronged eyes. One could imagine how much he had suffered!
Damn it!
You can bully her, but don't you dare bully her son! Anyone who dares to bully her son is looking for death!
Zhan Xiaoli held onto Yun Shu tightly.
Yun Shu's heart ached terribly. She said softly, "Little Li, if I said I was your mother, would you believe me?"
Zhan Xiaoli suddenly looked up, his eyes no longer filled with grievance, but with the joy of a million stars condensed within them. Yet, he was still unsure, "Auntie Yun Shu is really my mother? You're not just saying that to comfort me, are you?"
"Of course, I'm not just saying it to comfort you. I am truly your mother. Little Li, Yun Yueyin is not your mother." Yun Shu's face darkened as she said this very seriously and solemnly.
Zhan Xiaoli nodded vigorously, "I know she's not my mother. She's a bad woman!"
A very, very bad woman!
Not his mother, yet she pretended to be his mother!
Even Father didn't know the truth!
Yun Shu was taken aback. She hadn't expected Zhan Xiaoli to directly call Yun Yueyin a bad woman. "How did you know she wasn't your mother?"
"I heard her say it!" Zhan Xiaoli replied.
Heard Yun Yueyin say it?
Given Yun Yueyin's character, would she let go of an opportunity to use Little Li?
However, now was not the time to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Yun Shu smiled, "Little Li, when you were born, some things happened that led you all to believe Yun Yueyin was your mother. Little Li, in your mother's heart, you are extremely important. You are the most precious treasure in my heart, do you understand?"
The grievances with Yun Yueyin and the events of that year were too bloody; it was better not to tell Zhan Xiaoli.
Even Yun Xiaojing only knew that Yun Yueyin had harmed her and caused the brothers to be separated.
"Mother!" Zhan Xiaoli was extremely excited.
It was really his mother!
"I want to go tell Father, let Father know that you are my mother! He still thinks that bad woman is my mother!" Zhan Xiaoli was eager to let his father know the truth, so that his father would marry his mother!
He wanted to live with his mother.
He wanted his mother to marry into the Prince's mansion!
"Little Li, we can't let your father know the truth for now." Yun Shu's eyes darkened. She absolutely could not let Zhan Tianye know the truth.
Otherwise, if he investigated the events of that year carefully, he might even take away Xiao Jing!
Zhan Xiaoli blinked his big eyes in confusion.
"Your father hates me. If he knew I was your mother, he would definitely not let me see you again," Yun Shu said.
She had no doubt that Zhan Tianye was capable of such a thing!
Zhan Xiaoli made up his mind, "Okay! I won't let Father know!"
Yun Shu patted Zhan Xiaoli's head, "You're so good! From now on, absolutely do not go to see Yun Yueyin again, understand?"
"Mmm!" Zhan Xiaoli nodded vigorously.
He didn't want to see that scheming woman!
Pretending to be his mother when she wasn't!
"You, what are you doing? Second Miss Yun, you, you, this is the palace!"
A startled cry interrupted Yun Shu and Zhan Xiaoli, who were recognizing each other as mother and son.
They both turned around simultaneously.
They saw Qiu Lu, whose face was pale with shock.
Qiu Lu's mouth was wide open, distorting his face.
Yun Shu's gaze was cold and calm, "What's all the fuss about!"
At this distance, Qiu Lu should not have heard what she and Little Li were saying.
However, Qiu Lu's terrified expression—what was going on?
Qiu Lu's eyes widened even further, "This, this isn't worth making a fuss about?"
Suddenly, he saw Zhan Xiaoli peeking at him, his eyes red and tearful.
His heart skipped a beat!
"I'm sorry, Little Prince, I'm late. You've been frightened and wronged!" Qiu Lu rushed towards them.
He reached out to take Zhan Xiaoli away.
Zhan Xiaoli cried out in alarm, "Uncle Qiu!"
A layer of ice suddenly formed in Yun Shu's eyes. She raised her hand.
With powerful internal energy,
She punched out fiercely.
Bang!
Qiu Lu was caught off guard.
By the time he reacted, he had been sent flying back several meters.
Pfft!
He spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
He looked at Yun Shu in shock. He knew she practiced martial arts, but he didn't know she could inflict internal injuries with a single punch!
Yun Shu took Zhan Xiaoli's hand and walked to Qiu Lu. She asked coldly, "What do you want?"
Qiu Lu seemed to have heard something incredible. He wiped the blood from his mouth, "Second Miss Yun dared to harm the Little Prince!"
"What nonsense?" Yun Shu frowned.
"Mother... Auntie Yun Shu didn't harm me! Auntie Yun Shu wouldn't harm me!" Zhan Xiaoli enunciated each word clearly for Qiu Lu to hear.
Qiu Lu almost choked. The Little Prince was being fooled and was even helping the fool count the money!
How tragic!
"Little Prince, you don't understand! She was bullying you! Some people are perverted. They don't like virile men, but rather... If I had been a moment later, she could have..." Qiu Lu gritted his teeth and finally said it.
Yun Shu froze, then her mouth twitched.
Damn it!
No wonder she felt Qiu Lu and Zhan Tianye had been looking at her strangely a few times recently, saying all sorts of nonsense.
So their minds were filled with dung!
She narrowed her eyes and sneered, "What else could I have done?"
"You've misunderstood Auntie Yun Shu!" Zhan Xiaoli knitted his little brows.
Qiu Lu was dumbfounded, feeling as if his mind had suddenly stopped working.
At this moment, in the Imperial Study.
Zhan Tianhong offered Zhan Tianye a cup of tea.
He himself also drank several sips of warm water.
Ever since Yun Shu reminded him that his body was not suitable for drinking tea, he had stopped.
After drinking some tea, Zhan Tianye looked at Zhan Tianhong.
He could tell that what Zhan Tianhong wanted to say was not a trivial matter.
"Speak, what is it."
Zhan Tianhong abruptly drank all the water in his cup.
Even as a young boy, Zhan Tianhong felt he was already emperor, so he shouldn't be hesitant in pursuing what he wanted.
He took a deep breath.
He said, "Fifth Brother, I want the Second Miss Yun to enter the palace."
Zhan Tianye, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it out. His dark eyes fixed on Zhan Tianhong.
Zhan Tianhong had not expected Zhan Tianye to be so shocked.
"You want the Second Miss Yun to enter the palace?" Zhan Tianye's tone held a coldness he himself did not notice.
Zhan Tianhong nodded, "Yes, as long as Second Miss Yun is here, I won't have to worry about being poisoned, nor will I have to suffer during my attacks."
He didn't trust any imperial physicians now, nor any so-called divine doctors outside. He only trusted Yun Shu.
Zhan Tianye's eyes deepened, "Is it your wish for her to enter the palace, or did she propose it to you, that she wants to enter the palace?"
Had he overestimated that woman?!
She had actually set her sights on Zhan Tianhong, who was younger than her!
