Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sensing the familiar gaze, Yu Junjin turned around stiffly.
‘Mother is here?!’
Yu Junjin wanted to run over, but he suddenly remembered that there were many people around him so he could only dismiss his thoughts. However, when he saw the unconcealable anger on his mother’s face, he instantly understood that his mother had misunderstood the situation. He shook his head imperceptibly at her.
As expected of the mother and son. Yu Yunxi immediately understood his meaning. Now that she confirmed he was not in danger in this place, she relaxed immediately.
“Where’s the Prince Regent?” Yu Yunxi asked probingly.
“Princess Consort, the Prince Regent is in his room,” Jiang Ying replied
respectfully.
‘In the room?’
Yu Yunxi frowned. She had always had a keen sense of smell. At this moment, she could clearly smell blood and medicine.
‘What’s going on?’
At this moment, Feng Yili’s hoarse voice rang from the room.
“Jiang Ying, what’s going on outside?”
“Your Royal Highness, the Pr…”
Yu Yunxi stopped Jiang Ying and said in a low voice, “Don’t tell him that I’m here.”
She did not want to see Feng Yili now. Then, she used her eyes to tell Yu Junjin to leave with her.
However, upon seeing her gaze, Yu Junjin shook his head vigorously.
‘He’s not willing to leave?’ Yu Yunxi’s heart sank. She recalled the look of anticipation on her son’s face when he saw Feng Yili. She knew that her son wanted to stay with his father.
When she heard movements in the room, she quickly made up her mind. She took a deep breath and quickly said, “I don’t think the Prince Regent has time to see me now. I’ll visit another time to discuss the matter of this residence.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
‘Junjin, Mother will fulfill your wish.’
Seeing that he could not keep Yu Yunxi, Jiang Ying could only chase after her with a helpless expression, trying to leave a good impression on her.
“Princess Consort, I’ll send you off!”
When Yu Yunxi walked out, she did not expect to run into Yu Wanrong, who was just alighting from a carriage.
Although Yu Wanrong was wearing a veil, she could not hide her exhaustion and haggardness at all.
‘Didn’t she go to the Chen family for help? Why did she come here?’
Yu Wanrong looked over, and her expression turned gloomy and resentful immediately. She asked loudly, “Sister, didn’t you already separate from the Prince Regent? Why did you come here?”
Yun Yunxi smiled when she heard Yu Wanrong’s questioning tone. She said icily, “Separate? Who told you that the Prince Regent and I have separated? As long as we don’t separate, I’m still the Princess Regent in the public’s eve.”
“You!” Yu Wanrong’s face turned red from anger.
Jiang Ying, who was standing at the side, felt tears welling up in his eyes upon hearing Yu Yunxi’s words.
‘She finally admitted it!’
“Elder Sister, because your surname is Yu, I’ll still address you as Eldest Sister today. However, can you not be so shameless? The Prince Regent hates you. Is there any point in you occupying the position of Princess Regent? Also, you vented your anger on the family, causing Father to be imprisoned and
Grandmother to faint. The family is in chaos now. Are you at ease?” Yu Wanrong said sharply as she straightened her back and looked at Yu Yunxi condescendingly, “You’re from the Yu family. If it weren’t for Father, could you have the qualifications to become the Princess Regent in the first place? You must not forget your roots!”
“Yu Wanrong, do you need me to remind you about the time your birth date was changed?” Yu Yunxi asked as she laughed mockingly.
Yu Wanrong averted her eyes. However, she quickly regained her composure and said righteously, “T-that’s because Mother wanted to find you a good marriage! After all, you’re just a concubine’s daughter. If it was not for my mother, you could only be a concubine as well!”
“Don’t pretend to be righteous when you’re nothing more than a hypocritical coward. Remember to return my dowry. Otherwise, I might not be so lenient next time,” Yu Yunxi said. She was too lazy to argue with someone like Yu Wanrong.
Now that she could not get the upper hand, Yu Wanrong finally remembered the purpose of her visit. Her grandfather told her that the Emperor was furious, and no one in court dared to plead for mercy on her father’s behalf. They also did not want to interfere with the matters of the Yu family, worried that they would also get in trouble. In short, her grandfather meant to let them deal with the matters on their own. Feng Wenzhou was still grounded in the Eastern Palace so she could not see him. As such, she could only pin her hopes on Feng Yili. She did not believe that Feng Yili would suddenly become so cruel to his savior.
“Jiang Ying, I want to see His Royal Highness,” Yu Wanrong said in a commanding tone, looking as though she could not wait to rush into the house. Feng Yili had to be inside. As long as she met him, she was confident she could convince him to help the Yu family.
Jiang Ying’s expression was cold when faced with Yu Wanrong.
Just as Jiang Ying was about to stop Yu Wanrong, Yu Yunxi moved over and easily grabbed Yu Wanrong’s collar to pull Yu Wanrong back.
“Yu Yunxi! What are you doing?!” Yu Wanrong asked furiously.
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, “I’m sorry, but the Prince
Regent doesn’t want to see you.”
“I’m sure those are your words, not the Prince Regent. What right do you have to stop me from seeing him?” Yu Yunxi asked, annoyed.
“What right do I have? I’m the Princess Regent. If you know what’s best for you, you should go back. Otherwise…” Yu Yunxi said threateningly.
If it were any other day, Yu Yunxi would not care about the matter between Yu Wanrong and Feng Yili. However, today, Yu Junjin was in the house. What if Yu Junjin was sad because of Yu Wanrong? She would not allow such a thing to happen.
“Yu Yunxi, you jealous and bitter woman! The Prince Regent must want to see me!” Yu Wanrong said through gritted teeth. Then, she struggled as she proceeded to shout, “Your Royal Highness, it’s Wanrong! Can you hear me?”
‘She really doesn’t know what’s good for her!’
Yu Yunxi’s expression was terrifyingly cold as she said, “Jiang Ying, fetch me a bucket of cold water.”
“Yes, Princess Consort,” Jiang Ying replied and obediently fetched a bucket of cold water.
Yu Yunxi took the bucket of cold water and decisively splashed it on Yu Wanrong.
In just an instant, Yu Wanrong looked like a drowned rat. Her veil fell off, and her makeup was smeared, revealing the hideous scar on her cheek. She had been hiding this scar all these years that even her closest maidservant had never seen it before.
For this reason, when Yu Wanrong’s maidservant saw the scar, she panicked and screamed, “Second Miss! Y-your, your face!”
“Shut up!” Yu Wanrong slapped the maidservant to silence the latter. Then, she turned to glare at Yu Yunxi spitefully and said, “Eldest Sister, aren’t afraid that if news of you bullying your sister spreads, you’ll be condemned by the entire capital tomorrow?”
Yu Yunxi said with a shrug, “Go ahead and spread the news. I want to see if they’re more curious about me or your disfigurement.”
“My disfigurement! Isn’t it all your…”
Yu Yunxi advanced toward Yu Wanrong step by step as her aura grew oppressive. “That’s right. I ruined your face. Do you want me to remind you why your face is ruined and what happened at that time?”
Yu Wanrong panicked when she heard these words.
“Also, what do you think would happen if I told the Prince Regent about what happened back then?”
“Enough! Yu Yunxi, stop talking!”
