Chapter 1008: The Crown Princess Has Calculated It?
After hearing what King Xiao said, Yun Lengyu also began to feel uncertain.
In fact, since she was a child, living in the Yun family, her family members always favored Yun Yiyu, and she was never chosen by anyone.
Even though she kept convincing herself that doing what she was supposed to do and learning everything her master taught her was enough, she still lacked confidence.
"I am good at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have also learned how to read accounts and manage the inner courtyard. My former teacher said I learned very well."
Yun Lengyu spoke, then fell silent again. "It doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't choose me. After all, I'm not favored in the manor and I'm of no help to Your Highness."
She suddenly realized that there were quite a few beautiful girls around Prince Xiao, and quite a few of them came from higher social classes than her.
As for what I've learned, all the daughters of prominent families know it; at most, I've just learned it a little better.
But these things can be done by hiring more people, so I don't have any special skills.
Xiao Wang was listening to Yun Lengyu demonstrate her strengths, but after the girl said a few words, she suddenly changed her focus, and the radiance on her face dimmed, making Xiao Wang feel inexplicably uneasy.
He has now given up that position, so naturally he doesn't need any help from the princess's family.
Conversely, too much energy is a bad thing.
"Your Highness has seen what happened at the Yun family today, and I will not hide it from you. This is how I have lived in the Yun family all these years."
I knew that Your Highness was a kind-hearted person when you came to the Yun family to save me.
My younger sister is the most favored in the family. Today she suffered injustice at the Prince's mansion. When she returns home, her family will definitely hold me responsible, and my injuries will only worsen.
"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to help me arrange a marriage that will take me far away from the capital."
I am not picky about my husband's family; poverty is fine with me, as long as he is of good character. I beg Your Highness to help me.”
Yun Lengyu knelt down, her expression sincere.
When King Xiao saw the girl suddenly change her tone and ask him to arrange a marriage for her, he was almost amused.
He pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth. This girl is really something. What does she take him for?
"As long as a person has good character, it doesn't matter if they are poor. But what if a person is not good-looking?"
Yun Lengyu thought about it. If possible, she would naturally hope to be more beautiful so that she could live a more comfortable life.
However, since His Highness Prince Xiao has said such a thing, he must have already thought of a suitable candidate in his mind, only that the candidate is not good-looking.
She gritted her teeth. "That's fine too."
As long as she could leave the Yun family and live freely in a place far away from them, that was what she longed for most.
Otherwise, if she stays here, not only will she have to constantly face Yun Yiyu's schemes and her family's accusations, but even if she is betrothed, Yun Yiyu will definitely cause trouble.
I imagine the person I'll marry will be another living hell.
King Xiao chuckled, "You're not picky at all."
Kneeling, Yun Yiyu couldn't see Xiao Wang's expression. Hearing this, she assumed Xiao Wang was very pleased with her for being so agreeable, and immediately nodded, saying:
"It is my honor to receive Your Highness's bestowal of a marriage; how could I dare to complain?"
King Xiao: "..."
"Your Highness, have you agreed?"
Seeing that King Xiao had not said anything further, Yun Lengyu couldn't help but raise her head, feeling somewhat puzzled.
However, when she first saw Xiao Wang's cold face, she seemed somewhat displeased.
Her heart skipped a beat. Prince Xiao was the only person she could rely on now. As long as Prince Xiao was willing to grant her a marriage, the Yun family would have no chance of getting involved.
Could I have said something wrong and offended His Highness Prince Xiao?
"I will not allow it!"
King Xiao coldly uttered a sentence and strode out.
When Yun Lengyu saw that King Xiao had left, she stood there stunned, unable to understand what she had done to offend him.
"I don't think I said anything wrong, so why is Your Highness so angry?"
"Won't doing this offend the Yun family? The Prince thinks he's already been kind enough to save me tonight, and I'm actually pushing my luck?"
Thinking about this, Yun Lengyu felt that her guess was probably right; she did seem to have gone too far.
At this moment, the old woman came in and said, "Miss Yun, it's getting late. You're still injured, so you should rest first."
Yun Lengyu, carrying the medicine brought in by the nanny, said gratefully, "Thank you."
The old woman smiled slightly; the steward had specifically asked her to take care of Miss Yun.
Since the prince brought her back personally, she will probably stay in the prince's mansion from now on and may become her new master in the future. She must take good care of her.
the other side.
King Xiao went to his study, feeling a strange sense of unease that made him quite unhappy.
"Your Highness, you've brought Miss Yun back like this. Once the news gets out, I'm afraid everyone will think you've taken a fancy to her."
The personal servant couldn't help but speak up. He didn't understand why his master was so impulsive today. He had no connection with the Yun family, yet he suddenly went to the Yun family and brought back their daughter.
With such a commotion, it's bound to attract attention, especially since Miss Yun Si made a special trip over here. It's unlikely that this news can be kept quiet.
King Xiao remained silent, though he knew that his actions today had indeed been somewhat impulsive.
Upon hearing the message left by the Crown Prince, my first thought was to help her; I didn't think much else and went straight there.
Seeing Yun Lengyu faint in his arms, he felt an indescribable heartache.
Looking at the Yun family now, I feel that none of them are good people!
Why did the Crown Prince suddenly tell me this news today?
King Xiao shifted his attention. He thought that the girl was really heartless. He had gone to the Yun family to save her, and what did she do? She asked him to grant her a marriage.
As long as a person has good character, appearance and family background are irrelevant.
Who did they take him for?
The first time he's arranged a marriage for someone, he gives them something like this. What will people think of him?
"I don't understand either. His Highness the Crown Prince isn't one to meddle in other people's business. And how did His Highness know that Miss Yun would be in trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao fell into thought. If another prince had told him this, he would have suspected that there was some conspiracy or trap involved.
However, when the Crown Prince told him, he knew that it must have been the Crown Princess who had calculated it.
Could you deliberately remind him that the Crown Princess might have figured it out?
Thinking of this possibility, Prince Xiao really wanted to ask the Crown Princess, but it was already so dark that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to visit her.
"Well, since she's already been brought back, let her rest and recover properly for now," said Prince Xiao.
The servant was secretly surprised. "Your Highness, do you mean that Miss Yun can stay in the manor for the time being?"
"Why are you being so long-winded today?" King Xiao glanced at him, his expression displeased.
