Chapter 1025 Inner Feelings
"Your Highness, matters of the heart are unpredictable."
You understand Miss Yun's situation; the one who speaks first is the one who wants the best outcome, isn't that right?"
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "When it comes to matters of the heart, nothing others say matters; it all depends on the people involved."
The reason I reminded you is because I foresaw a connection between you and this Miss Yun.
Upon hearing this, King Xiao's eyes lit up. "Is there a bond between me and her?"
Seeing Xiao Wang's reaction, Song Ruozhen knew that he did indeed like Yun Lengyu, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted this way.
True love often begins at first sight.
"Your Highness, imagine if I hadn't reminded you, and you learned the next day that Miss Yun had been punished by family law and was bedridden, without even a doctor to treat her, would you have gone to the Yun family to bring her back to the Prince's Mansion?"
Upon hearing this, King Xiao fell silent.
Based on what happened that night, he would definitely send someone to investigate Yun Lengyu the next day.
If they were to learn that something had happened to her in the manor, they would probably do exactly as Song Ruozhen said and bring her back immediately.
"I knew the result would be the same, so I thought it would be better to let Miss Yun suffer less."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, knowing better than to say anything. It would be better to let Prince Xiao figure out the real situation.
"Eldest brother, you've never been a timid person before, so what's there to be so conflicted about?"
Seeing Xiao Wang's conflicted and hesitant expression, Chu Junting directly pointed out, "If she truly hopes for it and is willing to marry you, then it would be a good match."
If you don't like it, why not help Miss Yun? Her parents treat her badly; she just wants to escape the Yun family. With your brother's methods, that's incredibly easy.
"What I really want to ask my sister-in-law is, do we have a good future together?"
King Xiao turned to look at Song Ruozhen with a very serious expression; this was the answer he most wanted to know.
Song Ruozhen nodded. "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang's face lit up with a joyful smile. "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"It's getting late, so I'll head back now and come back another day."
King Xiao stood up, smiled, and left, his steps carrying a more spirited air than before.
……
Prince Xiao's Mansion.
"Miss, the medicine that the prince sent is really effective. Your injuries are much better today."
"The last time you were punished by the family, your wounds were quite bad the next day, but they've already started to heal today," the maid said happily.
Yun Lengyu also felt that her wounds were not as painful as before. In the past, she would not have been able to get up on the second day and would even have developed a high fever.
Fortunately, Prince Xiao came to her residence yesterday to save her. If it weren't for His Highness Prince Xiao, she would definitely be covered in injuries today.
"Dujuan, where is the prince?"
Du Juan shook her head. "Miss, I don't know either."
The servants at the Prince's residence were very polite; they brought breakfast early this morning. I went to inquire and heard that the Prince seemed to have gone out, but I don't know where he went.
Upon hearing this, Yun Lengyu nodded, pondering to herself, "Could it be that the Prince went out to help me choose a suitable person?"
Based on her interactions yesterday, she felt that His Highness Prince Xiao was not a cold-hearted person; on the contrary, he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
After all, she was used to seeing those hypocritical faces in her family and hearing those insincere expressions of concern, and she was utterly disgusted by them.
On the contrary, His Highness Prince Xiao, although he seemed arrogant and didn't treat her well, not only saved her and let her stay here, but also specially invited the imperial physician to treat her.
Even the medicine she applied herself was obviously expensive.
"Your Highness Prince Xiao is so much better than my family!"
Yun Lengyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart that if she could really marry Prince Xiao, it would be an immense blessing.
It's just a pity that she didn't have such good luck; regardless of her background or anything else, she was not worthy of Prince Xiao.
Thinking of this, she quickly comforted herself. Although this path was not feasible, as long as the prince was kind-hearted and found her a suitable family, it shouldn't be too bad.
Du Juan nodded repeatedly, "This servant also thinks His Highness Prince Xiao is good. Moreover, this servant took a walk around this courtyard today and found that the Prince's mansion is really big. It is much bigger than the Yun mansion."
She was just a maid who served the young lady, and today she went to the kitchen to fetch food, and everyone was very curious about her.
"Miss, why don't you try to find a way to stay here?"
Du Juan's eyes were full of anticipation; she felt that her young mistress would be much more comfortable living here than in the manor.
Looking at Du Juan's joyful expression, Yun Lengyu couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Dujuan, you've been with me all these years and have suffered so much."
I brought your indenture last time; if you wish to leave, I can return it to you.
She was truly a useless mistress. Yun Yiyu's maid lived a life of ease in the mansion, while Dujuan suffered countless grievances and hardships following her.
As the mistress, she felt extremely guilty.
Du Juan was taken aback and immediately knelt down. "Miss, I just think that you would have a much better life if you stayed in the Xiao Prince's Mansion than if you went back."
"I didn't mean anything by it, could you please not send me away?"
"Dujuan, I'm not trying to drive you away. I'm just thinking that once the prince finds me a suitable marriage, I'll marry into another city."
I fear I will never return to the capital, so I thought I would grant you your freedom.
Du Juan shook her head repeatedly, "Miss, I have always been by your side. My family is long gone. I only want to follow you."
"Wherever you go, Miss, I will go. Please, Miss, don't send me away."
Seeing this, Yun Lengyu quickly said, "Alright, alright, if you don't want to leave, then come with me to another city."
Don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, you definitely won't go hungry.
Now, all she really has left is Du Juan. Her younger sister, Yun Yiyu, is an enemy and can't compare to Du Juan at all.
In her heart, Dujuan was her younger sister.
When Prince Xiao returned, he happened to overhear Yun Lengyu's conversation with her maid.
As a daughter of a prominent family, to have fallen to this state, the Yun family's favoritism is truly outrageous.
"Cough cough."
King Xiao coughed lightly and slowly walked into the house.
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Yun Lengyu quickly looked up at the person who had entered.
"I've met the prince."
King Xiao nodded. "Is your injury any better?"
"Thank you for the medicine, Your Highness. My injuries have improved a lot."
Yun Lengyu smiled slightly, her gaze secretly observing Xiao Wang. He seemed to be in a bad mood when he left yesterday, and she didn't know what she had said wrong to upset him. It was best to be careful now.
