"I'm going to the Yun residence now," Yun Shu said with a deep voice.
Then, Yun Shu walked to the door and said to A Cha inside the room, "A Cha, Yu Le will be back later. You should have lunch first. I have something to attend to outside."
"Yes, Miss," A Cha replied immediately from inside the room.
Yun Shu then left the residence without delay.
At this time.
Yun Yue Yin arrived at the Regent's Mansion.
Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Miss Yun, the Regent has gone to the palace and will not return until evening."
Yun Yue Yin was surprised. "The Regent hasn't returned from the palace at this hour?"
She knew that ever since they returned to the capital, the Regent went to the palace every day, but he would usually be back before lunch.
She had endured dizziness and discomfort just to have lunch with the Regent.
"Yes, after returning from the morning court, the Regent went back to the palace again. We don't know when he will return today. Miss Yun, if you have urgent matters, you can send someone to deliver a message to the palace," the gatekeeper replied respectfully.
Yun Yue Yin felt a bit disappointed. "Alright, please inform him when the Regent returns."
"Yes, I will inform the Regent. By the way, the Regent is already aware of what happened at the General's Mansion yesterday. If Miss Yun requires the Regent's assistance, I will make arrangements immediately," the gatekeeper said to Yun Yue Yin as she was about to leave.
Yun Yue Yin's gentle and graceful eyebrows were tinged with shyness as she heard this. "It's not a big matter. Please don't trouble the Regent."
After saying that, she turned and got into her carriage.
Once inside the carriage, the tender and affectionate expression on her face vanished completely.
It was replaced by a look of malice.
"Why is it so inconvenient?"
She raised her hand and pressed hard against her head.
It hurt so much!
Why did she still feel like vomiting?
Mother said that most pregnant women experience such discomfort in the early stages.
Most…
She recalled Yun Shu, whom she had imprisoned before. She had been in the mountains for so long, often going hungry, yet she ended up having three children. Why was it so difficult for her?
She wondered how many children were in her belly?
Her fate would far surpass Yun Shu's!
It would be impossible for it to be inferior to Yun Shu's!
Suddenly.
The moving carriage abruptly stopped.
"Miss, a child is blocking the road. We can't pass," Wen Shu reported to Yun Yue Yin from outside the carriage.
Yun Yue Yin was suffering from a severe headache. "Which child is this, seeking death?!"
"I don't know, Miss. I'll go down and ask the child to move," Wen Shu said quickly, sensing Yun Yue Yin's impatience and even anger.
Yun Yue Yin narrowed her eyes coldly.
Suppressing the urge to vomit.
At this moment, Zhan Xiao Li, who was standing in front of the carriage, frowned upon seeing Wen Shu.
There was a bad woman next to Mother!
"Whose child are you? Don't you know it's dangerous to block the road? If we weren't kind enough to stop the carriage, we would have knocked you flying long ago!" Wen Shu scolded.
As she looked closer, she was amazed.
This child was too beautiful!
However, he was covered in dirt, and looked like a little beggar.
Zhan Xiao Li ignored Wen Shu.
His short legs ran to the front of the carriage.
He looked up at the carriage with longing eyes.
"Mother, I am Xiao Li."
Zhan Xiao Li hesitated, but still bravely called out.
"Where did this little beggar come from? How dare you call our Miss mother? Don't you even pee on yourself to see who you are? You're just a poor little beggar, hurry and get lost, don't tarnish my young lady's reputation!"
Wen Shu was stunned. A little beggar dared to call their Miss mother!
Yun Yue Yin's headache was severe. Upon hearing the word "mother," her eyes flashed with coldness. "Wen Shu, take him away!"
"Mother, I am Xiao Li!" Zhan Xiao Li's face turned pale, feeling as if his heart had been stabbed. He shouted loudly again.
"What Xiao Li? Our Miss couldn't possibly have a son as big as you! Hurry and get lost!" Wen Shu raised her foot to kick Zhan Xiao Li.
Zhan Xiao Li was heartbroken and couldn't dodge in time.
Suddenly, someone appeared and carried Zhan Xiao Li aside.
Wen Shu was stunned for a moment.
Without thinking too much, she quickly said to the coachman, "Let's go."
At this moment, a very, very sad Zhan Xiao Li watched the carriage drive away and heard Yun Yue Yin's thoughts from inside.
"Xiao Li? That name sounds like a little beggar."
"A dirty little beggar dares to call me mother? How unlucky! My son is destined to inherit the Regent's Mansion in the future!"
"Perhaps someone is jealous of me and wants to ruin my reputation by using a little beggar."
The carriage grew farther and farther away, and Zhan Xiao Li could no longer hear her subsequent thoughts.
Zhan Xiao Li's little face became paler and paler.
Even though the carriage had disappeared from sight.
He still stared intently.
He could hear his mother's inner thoughts.
Was Mother also a bad woman?
Suddenly, Zhan Xiao Li's body stiffened.
"Mother..."
"Young Prince."
Zhan Xiao Li seemed to hear nothing else. He was very sad now.
He didn't want to hear his mother's thoughts! He didn't want to hear what others were saying.
His heart was enclosed by a thick wall.
But.
The gentle call by his ear.
And the warm embrace.
It was especially like Mother's embrace.
It was Aunt Yun Shu.
He burst into tears.
"Aunt Yun Shu!"
Why wasn't Aunt Yun Shu his mother?
Yun Shu's heart ached as if being wrung out.
She gently patted Zhan Xiao Li's back. "Xiao Li, I am your mother."
The guard, who had been pushed aside, just recovered and was about to push Yun Shu away and snatch Zhan Xiao Li back, when he realized Zhan Xiao Li knew Yun Shu.
Then, this was not the end of it.
He then heard Yun Shu say that she was the young prince's mother?
This!
Zhan Xiao Li cried even harder, hugging Yun Shu tightly and refusing to let go.
"I really wish Aunt Yun Shu was my mother," he said, crying.
He knew Aunt Yun Shu was just saying that to comfort him.
"I just..." Yun Shu opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking.
The small Zhan Xiao Li in her arms was suddenly snatched away.
To be precise, not by hand.
But by a whip.
A long whip snatched Zhan Xiao Li away.
Just as she was about to counterattack and snatch Zhan Xiao Li back.
She was startled to see Zhan Tian Ye sitting in his wheelchair.
Zhan Tian Ye's dark eyes stared at Yun Shu, as sharp and cold as ice.
If looks could kill.
Zhan Tian Ye would have killed her by now. He really was a woman with malicious intentions! How dare she claim to be Zhan Xiao Li's mother?
"Yun Shu, how dare you! Shameless!" he said coldly.
