Chapter 105 - 54: Why Is the Princess at My House Again? (2)

Until this moment, Yun Wanyao finally confirmed that Yun Wanye had feelings for Princess Xinyue. His actions weren’t exactly subtle; how had she not noticed before?

However, the way the Princess behaved, it didn’t seem like Yun Wanye held a place in her heart. Yun Wanyao couldn’t help but doubt if her father and older brother were mistaken.

Moreover, Yun Wanye had a hard time meeting the Princess. Could her presence be somewhat untimely?

Should she continue hiding here or go out?

Yun Wanyao was momentarily at a loss for direction.

"Hey, I’m asking you, where is Ah Yao? Why hasn’t she come yet?"

"Is the Princess asking ’hey’, or asking me?"

"You~"

Mo Zhaozhao was exasperated, "Of course I’m asking you."

What was ’hey’? Could ’hey’ answer her question?

"If you’re asking me, just ask me. Why call out ’hey’? Don’t I have a name? Besides, didn’t the Princess just tell me to shut up? Has the Princess forgotten?"

Mo Zhaozhao: "..."

"Ah, Princess, Princess, I’m here, I’m here~"

Seeing that continuing the conversation would make Mo Zhaozhao lose her temper, Yun Wanyao couldn’t hold back any longer. She hurried out, casting a helpless glance at Yun Wanye.

With his demeanor, it’s no wonder he could never win the Princess over.

No wonder the Princess always spoke of him with such disdain. The Princess had been adored and pursued by many since childhood, enjoying being pampered, while he constantly contradicted her.

Unbelievable!

"Ah Yao, why did you come only now? I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while."

Mo Zhaozhao instantly ignored Yun Wanye, took Yun Wanyao’s arm, and walked towards her courtyard.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s find another place. There are flies here."

Yun Wanyao: "..."

Dragged by Mo Zhaozhao, she turned her head, giving Yun Wanye a sympathetic look.

’Crack~’

Yun Wanye seemed to hear his own heart shatter. He squinted his eyes, staring steadfastly at Mo Zhaozhao’s departing figure. Even after her shadow vanished completely, he didn’t withdraw his gaze.

"Ah Yao, let me tell you..."

In the courtyard.

Mo Zhaozhao and Yun Wanyao sat facing each other, Mo Zhaozhao enthusiastically recounting the events that occurred yesterday when Jiang Zitang went to find Xie Xuanrong.

"Yesterday, when my cousin went to see Mr. Xie, Ling’er discovered halfway that the carriage wasn’t heading back to the Jiang Family, so she asked my cousin."

"Upon learning that my cousin was going to the Xie Mansion, she couldn’t sit still, her face changed dramatically, and she started causing a scene, claiming her stomach hurt, begging my cousin to take her back to the Jiang Family."

"My cousin saw that she seemed really uncomfortable and began to hesitate."

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao’s brow furrowed with concern, "And then? Ah Tang couldn’t have cancelled her visit to the Xie Mansion just to send that maid back, right?"

"Yes, after hesitating, my cousin ultimately decided to send the maid back to the Jiang Family. It’s thanks to you, Ah Yao."

"Thanks to your advice, I had the guard rush there, intercepting my cousin’s carriage halfway."

After understanding the situation, Mo Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up with a scheme. She arranged for the Jiang Family’s carriage to take the maid back, while she personally escorted Jiang Zitang to the Xie Mansion.

The maid was so terrified upon hearing this that she nearly fainted, clutching Jiang Zitang’s skirt and pleading bitterly, beseeching Jiang Zitang to personally take her back.

This unusual behavior naturally made Jiang Zitang realize something.

She donned a cold expression, brushed off the maid’s hand, and instructed the coachman to take the maid back, while she boarded Mo Zhaozhao’s carriage.

Upon reaching the Jiang Family, Mo Zhaozhao waited outside, while Jiang Zitang went alone to meet Xie Xuanrong.

Yun Wanyao’s speculation was correct. Xie Xuanrong had indeed waited all night without seeing anyone, nor did he receive an explanation in the following days. Unable to endure it, he went to the Jiang Family seeking a face-to-face confrontation with Jiang Zitang for an explanation.

But unexpectedly, the servants guarding the Jiang Family’s gate stopped him, saying that Jiang Zitang’s personal maid had informed them that she was fostering feelings with her cousin and advised him against coming to face humiliation.

After several unsuccessful attempts, with frustration bubbling inside, Xie Xuanrong had been fuming at home.

Thus, when Jiang Zitang came knocking, she was stopped at the door, with the Xie Household’s servants mocking her, telling her their Young Master was busy meeting a young lady and had no time for Jiang Zitang.

Unaware of the whole story, Jiang Zitang mistakenly thought that Xie Xuanrong had truly shifted his affections and deliberately stood her up during the Qixi Festival.

Heartbroken and dejected, she walked towards the carriage, asking Mo Zhaozhao to take her back home.

Noticing her expression, Mo Zhaozhao immediately understood that not only did she fail to meet the person, but was also mistreated. In a fit of rage, Mo Zhaozhao refused to quietly take her back, instead leading the guards to storm into the Xie Mansion.

Though the Princess’s intrusion was uninvited, the head of the Xie Family and his people came out to greet her with utmost respect.
