Chapter 1030 A Feeling of Joy
"Sister, you should have told us about something this big sooner."
The reason your parents are angry is that they feel it is inappropriate for you, as an unmarried girl, to live in the Xiao Prince's mansion without any status or identity.
Last night I came to pick you up, but you didn't want to. If we had known about this marriage earlier, your parents certainly wouldn't have scolded you.
Yun Yiyu clenched her hands, feeling extremely resentful. Why did such good fortune fall on Yun Lengyu's head?
His Highness Prince Xiao clearly saw himself, so why did he still choose his sister?
What kind of taste does His Highness Prince Xiao have?
Seeing that Yun Yiyu could exonerate the Yun family with just a few words and shift all the blame onto Yun Lengyu, Song Ruozhen understood why Yun Lengyu had suffered so much injustice in the family all these years.
With a sister who is so glib and opportunistic, coupled with parents who are clueless, there's truly no hope for her future.
"You came to pick me up? I was injured in the manor, and you didn't say a word of concern after you arrived. You only said that you wanted to stay with me in the Xiao Prince's manor."
She fainted before she could say two words, so the prince ordered the imperial physician to accompany her back to treat her.
"Besides, everyone knows His Highness Prince Xiao's character. How could he possibly let me stay here without any official status?"
If you truly cared about me, you would have asked me long ago. But you didn't ask anything; you just kept criticizing me, didn't you?"
A deep disgust flashed in Yun Lengyu's eyes. It was her misfortune to have such parents in the first half of her life.
Now that His Highness Prince Xiao has given her a chance to be reborn, she will never be burdened by her past again.
"Now that the letter of severance has been signed, there's nothing more to say. Please leave."
Yun Lengyu turned to Song Ruozhen with a smile, "Did the Crown Princess come to see the Prince with His Highness the Crown Prince? The Prince is not in the manor at the moment, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
Her palms were sweating, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She was flattered that the Crown Princess would stand up for her today.
She didn't know if the Crown Princess would accept the invitation at this moment.
Song Ruozhen immediately noticed Yun Lengyu's unease. In this world, how could someone who dares to sever ties with their parents not be flustered?
"Okay," Song Ruozhen replied with a smile.
Yun Lengyu breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with even greater joy.
Just then, King Xiao returned.
He went to the palace today to finalize this marriage, since the news that Yun Lengyu was living in his residence had already spread throughout the capital.
Setting the marriage agreement early will also protect her reputation and prevent malicious people from spreading rumors.
His mother was very happy when she heard the news. She took him aside and talked to him for a while, saying that he was getting old and could no longer be as reckless as before.
The Empress Dowager also investigated Yun Lengyu's situation, learned about her background, and felt that she was a girl of very good character.
I never expected to see so many people gathered here when I returned; it was quite a surprise.
“Elder brother, since you were not here just now, the Yun family came to sever ties with us, so Ruozhen and I acted as witnesses.”
Seeing Xiao Wang's bewildered expression, Chu Junting succinctly explained everything.
Xiao Wang was slightly taken aback, and then, looking at the Yun family members beside him, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
He knew very well that the Yun family treated Yun Lengyu badly, but they actually came to his door today. If it weren't for his younger siblings helping him, Yun Lengyu would definitely have been bullied.
Thinking of this, King Xiao's face also turned cold.
Lord Yun naturally noticed the change in Prince Xiao's expression, and his heart immediately jumped.
He couldn't be more regretful now. If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have asked beforehand, instead of breaking off the relationship without asking anything at all.
Now that so many people are watching, it would be difficult to back out even if they wanted to.
"Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding."
We didn't know about the engagement beforehand, and the girl didn't tell us either. We just assumed she was being rebellious and insisted on staying at Prince Xiao's residence, so we broke off the engagement in a fit of anger.
If we had known, we certainly wouldn't have…
Before he could finish speaking, King Xiao interrupted him, saying, "Since the kinship has been severed, then let it be."
Lord Yun should be alright now. I still have to entertain the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, so I'll take my leave.
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Xiao called Chu Junting into the mansion, and Song Ruozhen and Yun Lengyu followed them in.
Seeing that Prince Xiao was ignoring him, Yun's father wanted to go in and explain, but he was stopped by the people in the Prince's mansion.
"No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. Go, go, go."
"Go in and announce my arrival. I am the father of your future princess!" Yun's father said anxiously.
However, the steward scoffed, "We already severed ties just now, so what kind of relative are you? Get out!"
The onlookers couldn't help but laugh at the scene. "He was the one who wanted to sever ties just now, but now that he knows his daughter is going to become Princess Xiao, he regrets it. Tsk tsk, he deserves it."
"What goes around comes around. No one escapes the wrath of Heaven. They've been so biased and mistreated Princess Xiao all this time. Now look what's happened."
"I've heard about what happened at the banquet that night. The fourth young lady of the Yun family had no good intentions, and now she's shot herself in the foot."
The Yun family members stood outside the door, their faces turning pale and then red, before finally slinking away in disgrace.
After entering the mansion, Prince Xiao looked at Yun Lengyu's face and asked in a low voice, "Have you been wronged?"
Yun Lengyu shook her head. "No, it's all thanks to the Crown Princess's help."
She didn't actually feel wronged; on the contrary, she felt triumphant!
Today was the happiest day of her life in all these years. She no longer felt wronged, only joy that made her stand tall.
She didn't know what kind of life she would have in the Xiao Prince's mansion, but she knew that the Xiao Prince would at least give her a fair chance.
That was enough for her; she didn't crave any ephemeral love.
"Sister-in-law, thank you again today."
King Xiao looked at Song Ruozhen and couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful his position was.
Chu Junting is truly blessed to have married such a wife; he owes his marriage to her.
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "It's nothing. I'm the kind of person who loves to help those in need."
"What a fine example of helping those in need! You'll have your meal here today, and the Crown Prince and I must have a good drink together."
King Xiao looked at Chu Junting. After completely giving up the struggle for the throne, their past friendship became clear.
If it weren't for my third brother and sister-in-law saving me at the hunting grounds, I might have lost my life.
King Xiao and Chu Junting drank together. The two brothers had a very good relationship now, and their relationship grew even closer over the clinking of glasses.
"The King of Liang is no longer a threat. Just one Wu Yue'er is enough to give him a hard time. This is why the King of Kang has become his enemy."
The Prince Kang's mother also complained to the Emperor about this, and the Emperor bluntly stated that he was to remain at the residence for the time being and would not be able to leave anytime soon.
