Chapter 1005 Wishful thinking
As the Yun family watched Xiao Wang carry Yun Lengyu away, they stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
"Father, what should we do now?"
Yun Yiyu couldn't help but feel anxious. She had already set her sights on Prince Xiao, and this was a great opportunity to become his consort!
Once she becomes Princess Xiao, her status will rise dramatically, far surpassing what she could achieve by marrying into an ordinary noble family. Moreover, the Yun family's social standing wasn't particularly high to begin with, so this is her only chance!
Now that Prince Xiao has taken his sister back to the manor for treatment, if this news gets out, everyone will probably assume that his sister is Prince Xiao's consort.
By then, where will I find another chance?
Yunmu pondered, "Master, we all know Leng Yu's temperament. I don't know what stroke of luck she had today, but Prince Xiao actually looked at her differently."
But once His Highness Prince Xiao sees through her true colors, not only will she be rejected by His Highness Prince Xiao, but our whole family will also suffer the consequences.
We must find a way to get Yiyu married into the family; only then can we guarantee our family's future!
“Mother is right!” Yunhe nodded repeatedly. “We must let Yiyu go. Lengyu simply cannot seize such a good opportunity.”
Lord Yun immediately said, "Someone, prepare the carriage!"
"Yiyu, you will go to Prince Xiao's mansion to take care of your sister in our place."
It's inappropriate for an unmarried girl like her to go like this; your going would be to protect your sister's reputation.
"Take this opportunity and make a good impression. If Prince Xiao takes a liking to you, that would be wonderful!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yiyu immediately showed a look of joy, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely do my best when I get there!"
"Once I become Princess Xiao, I will definitely do my best for my father and brothers, and make the entire Yun family prosper!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Yun family showed satisfied smiles, their joyful expressions... as if they could already see the Yun family's future triumph.
……
Prince Xiao's Mansion.
Xiao Wang originally thought that Yun Lengyu simply didn't want to face the Yun family, so she pretended to faint, but he didn't expect that she would actually faint.
"Imperial Physician, what's wrong with this girl? Is she alright?" Prince Xiao asked.
The imperial physician's expression was complicated, revealing a hint of disbelief. He said, "Your Highness, this young lady has been malnourished for a long time. In addition to catching a cold, she was also beaten and injured."
Your humble servant just had the maid examine this young lady and found that she has quite a few injuries.
I imagine he was recently punished, so his health is extremely poor right now. He needs to take good care of himself, otherwise his health will be completely ruined.
He noticed that the girl wasn't dressed in ordinary clothes, so how could she be living such a miserable life?
A noble lady suffering from malnutrition, not to mention so many injuries on her body, it's as if she's been abused. I wonder whose daughter this is. Could His Highness Prince Xiao have a penchant for abusing girls?
After hearing the imperial physician's words, King Xiao was also shocked.
"She's a rich young lady, and she was abused?"
When I saw Yun Lengyu today, I felt that this girl was indifferent and seemed to care about nothing, and that everything happening around her was irrelevant to her.
He thought at the time that the girl had a special temperament, or that she was just pretending.
After all, at a banquet, every girl wants to show off her uniqueness.
I never imagined... that she was living such a miserable life in the Yun family. No wonder she looked so indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Your Highness, the Yun family is really going too far. They are both daughters, but Yun Yiyu is pampered and cherished, while this Miss Yun is being abused and bullied."
The young lady from a prominent family is malnourished; even the maidservants beside Yun Yiyu are probably living a more comfortable life than her.
Xiao Wang's personal servant couldn't help but sigh, if this news got out, the Yun family would be completely famous.
How can a family be so biased and abuse their daughter? I heard that Yunhe even wants to take the imperial examinations. What right do they have?
King Xiao's expression also turned ugly. "The Yun family has gone too far!"
The imperial physician standing nearby understood upon hearing this; it turned out that this was actually a young lady from the Yun family.
Judging from Prince Xiao's appearance, he has probably taken a fancy to the Yun family's daughter. However, the Yun family members are so blind that they are mistreating the Yun family's daughter. I'm afraid the Yun family will not have a good time in the future.
"Imperial Physician, please prescribe a medicine so she can properly recuperate," said Prince Xiao.
The imperial physician nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I will go and write a prescription right away."
Just then, Yun Yiyu arrived.
"Your Highness, the fourth young lady of the Yun family requests an audience."
King Xiao frowned. "What is she doing here? Get her out of here."
"Your Highness, the fourth young lady of the Yun family said that her older sister is not yet married, so Your Highness brought her back like this."
Those who know will say you're a good person, while those who don't will only think you've ruined Miss Yun's reputation, so she came to help take care of her sister.
The servant forced himself to speak, feeling that the fourth young lady of the Yun family was simply looking for trouble.
Since the prince has brought back the third daughter of the Yun family, it is likely that this girl will enter the prince's mansion. However, Yun Yiyu's accusation is tantamount to saying that the prince is not polite.
King Xiao naturally realized this as well, and he sneered, "Very well, very well indeed!"
"I'd like to know why, with a younger sister like her who cares so much for her, her older sister still lives such a miserable life in the manor!"
Yun Yiyu stated her purpose as soon as she stood at the entrance of the Xiao Prince's residence, though her words were not particularly polite.
The steward of the Prince's mansion went in first to announce her arrival, and she stood at the door waiting for news.
"Miss, aren't you afraid of offending the Prince by saying those words?"
The maidservants standing to the side were trembling with fear. This was the Prince's mansion. If they offended the Prince, they would be in deep trouble!
Yun Yiyu raised her chin, her expression filled with pride and arrogance, "What I said was the truth!"
“Yun Lengyu is my sister. Isn’t it normal for me to care about her?”
Besides, although Father used family discipline on my sister today, this was originally a family matter, and even the Prince couldn't blame us.
Yun Yiyu looked confident. In the time since the prince took her sister away, she had figured things out.
She usually tries to please her family and acts obedient, which they also like. But the prince took a liking to her sister at the banquet tonight, which proves that the prince prefers the disobedient type.
Since that's the case, she has to change according to the prince's preferences.
She finally understood. A man like Prince Xiao must be tired of women throwing themselves at him all the time, which is why he found a cold and boring woman like her sister to be so special.
Since that's the case, then so be it. He wants His Highness Prince Xiao to know that he is far superior to Yun Lengyu!
Yun Lengyu is inferior to her in every way, and has been trampled under her feet all these years. How can she let this woman become Princess Xiao?
