My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 119 - 59: I Didn’t Drink Meng Po Soup

Chapter 119: Chapter 59: I Didn’t Drink Meng Po Soup
However, is it possible that my little sister doesn’t know about this feast?
No, it’s probably because the book never mentioned it. Is it unimportant, or is there another reason?
Over on the women’s side of the banquet.
Princess Jing was waiting from afar. Upon seeing Lady Yun and her daughters, she immediately approached them.
"Lady Yun, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Princess. How have you been lately?"
"Everything is well~"
The two stood in the garden catching up, while Yun Wanqing, held by a nanny, curiously observed Princess Jing.
Princess Jing appeared to be about thirty, with apricot-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks, her skin as white as snow and a face like a flower, she was quite beautiful.
[I remember now, this is Princess Jing, Jiang Yuejian, who was once called the Empire’s Dual Beauties alongside my mother. She is the daughter of Minister Jiang.]
[In fact, I saw her at my full moon banquet, but there were too many people then, and my attention was entirely on the heroine and others, so I didn’t notice her.]
[Indeed, Princess Jing is extremely beautiful, each unique in their beauty with my mother.]
[But alas, the saying goes that beauty seldom comes with a good fate. In the original plot, this Princess Jing also met a tragic end. Not long after my mother’s death, she too passed away, and the Prince Manor soon faced devastating calamity, with the Little Prince disappearing without a trace.]
[...]
Lady Yun’s eyelids twitched violently as she looked at Princess Jing in utter shock.
How could this be?
With everything in Prince Jing Mansion going well and the Emperor’s protection, how could they face such a devastating end?
Why would this happen?
"Lady Yun, what’s the matter? Is there something on my face?"
Princess Jing slightly smiled, a sight enough to outshine the moon and shame flowers. She gently caressed her face with the hand holding a handkerchief, her eyes gazing warmly at Lady Yun.
Lady Yun quickly snapped back to reality, slightly shook her head, and said, "No, it’s just that the Princess’s makeup today is especially captivating, so I got lost in admiration."
These words made Princess Jing cover her mouth and laugh gently, "Lady Yun yourself is a rare beauty of unparalleled elegance, why would you be entranced by me?"
Even when beauties compliment each other, it sounds so pleasing to the ear.
Soon, Princess Jing led Lady Yun to take their seats.
The two appeared together, forming an enchanting scene, and the other madams and ladies all turned to look, both envious and begrudgingly admiring.
Even if they were reluctant to admit it, they couldn’t deny that the reputation of the Empire’s Dual Beauties was well-deserved.
"Oh, Lady Yun is here. I heard that earlier Duke Ning reluctantly left you when he went to the men’s banquet, holding your hand and talking for quite some time. Lady Yun, with your skill in handling your husband, why don’t you share your secrets with us sisters?"
[Nonsense, nonsense. Father did talk to Mother, but he didn’t hold her hand, just leaned a bit closer. Who spread this rumor? Can they not exaggerate?]
Lady Yun: "..."
For a moment, she didn’t know which expression would be appropriate.
"Indeed, to be exclusively favored in the bedchamber for eighteen years, Sister Ye truly possesses remarkable skills. It makes me quite envious."
"Oh, stop being envious. You can’t achieve this no matter how much you wish. If you had half of Lady Yun’s beauty, perhaps your lord wouldn’t be able to resist spoiling you either."
"Exactly, Lady Yun’s appearance is so delicate that it’s heartbreaking, not to mention for men? If I were a man, I would also favor her exclusively, hahahaha."
"..."
The conversation among several madams gradually went off track. Yun Wanqing lost interest in interrupting and instead looked around with her big eyes.
Meanwhile, Lady Yun’s face turned red from the teasing, pretending as if she hadn’t heard anything all along.
She turned to Princess Jing beside her and said, "Princess, why don’t I see the Little Prince? Is he over at the men’s banquet?"
It’s often said that men and women don’t sit together after the age of seven, but the Little Prince is only three years old now.
Upon hearing this, Princess Jing slightly shook her head and sighed.
"Ever since Han’er fell ill, I’ve noticed that he has changed a lot. Now, he doesn’t like to talk, nor does he enjoy being close to people."
"I originally thought that through his birthday feast, I could let him interact with others and hope this would make him happier, but he seemed extremely resistant and locked himself in his room, refusing to come out."
"I really don’t know what’s wrong with this child. To be honest, I’ve been extremely worried these days."
Lady Yun had also heard about the Little Prince’s illness.
It was around the birth of Xiao Si that she heard the Little Prince suddenly fell ill, with a high fever lasting over ten days, almost scaring Prince Jing and his wife to death.
Because Lady Yun was in confinement, she didn’t visit personally, only sending Yun Zheng for a visit. Later, hearing he recovered, she didn’t think much of it, never expecting this to happen.
"How could this be?"
It’s unheard of that an illness could change a person’s nature so vastly, especially since the Little Prince is only three years old.
Lady Yun suddenly thought of Su Qianxue, whose personality changed after an illness; she only knew of that case. Could it be that the same thing happened to the Little Prince...
