Yu Yunxi sighed in relief after Nan Xun and the others left. With this, one thing was finally settled. Feeling more relaxed now, she yawned.
âTired?â Feng Yili asked worriedly.
Yu Yunxi said with a frown, âIâve been sleeping quite well, but I still get tired easily. Perhaps itâs because too many things have been going on recently.â After saying this, Yu Yunxi yawned again.
Feng Yiliâs gaze darkened when he heard this, but Yu Yunxi did not notice it. She lifted the hem of her dress and quickly walked down, saying, âFeng Yili, letâs go. Junjin is still waiting for me at home.
âAlright.â
When Yu Yunxi got down, someone actually stopped her.
âYu Yun⦠Sister, how have you been?â
The other party was none other than Yu Wanrong. Just like before, she covered her disfigured face with a veil. When she saw Yu Yunxi, her eyes were brimming with hatred. However, when she recalled that she had something to ask Yu Yunxi today, she quickly suppressed her hatred.
Yu Yunxiâs expression turned cold when she saw Yu Wanrong. She asked bluntly, âWhat do you want?â
âSister, Mother has been feeling unwell recently. Sheâs been coughing for a
long time. Many doctors had seen her, but there was nothing they could do.
Since youâre highly skilled, can you come to the Yu Residence to have a look?â
Yu Wanrong asked softly.
âOh, so itâs because of this. Sure. Bring your mother to the Revival Hall. Remember to pay the consultation fee,â Yu Yunxi said dismissively.
Seeing that Yu Yunxi was about to leave, Yu Wanrong panicked. She said unhappily, âSister, donât you know what kind of status my mother has? How can you ask her to go to the Revival Hall?â
âWhat status? From what I know, sheâs no longer the Prime Ministerâs wife. Sheâs just an ordinary citizen. If sheâs not willing to come to the Revival Hall, then you can forget about me treating her,â Yu Yunxi said in an increasingly cold tone.
Yu Wanrong said resentfully, âArenât you worried weâll look for people from the Wei Medical Hall? Let me tell you. When the Wei Medical Hall heard that Mother was sick, they specially sent people over to treat Mother. However, considering the bad relationship between the Revival Hall and the Wei Medical Hall, Mother refused them! Otherwise, I wouldnât have come here to beg you.â Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow.
âOh, the people from the Wei Medical Hall are quite capable. They know that my relationship with the Yu family is terrible so they rushed to curry favor with
Madam Chenâ¦â Yu Yunxi thought to herself, amused, âAlso, whatâs wrong with Madam Chen? Since when has she ever considered my feelings? Itâs more likely that sheâs scheming something again..
Just as Yu Yunxi was about to refuse Yu Wanrong again, Feng Yili said flatly from behind, âSince you think the Wei Medical Hall is good, just look for the doctors there. My Princess Consort has no obligation to treat anyone, especially when the other party is someone who has harmed her before.â
Yu Wanrong raised her head, and her face paled when she saw Feng Yili. She did not expect Feng Yili to be Yu Yunxi. After a moment, she lowered her head and said meekly, âSister, itâs fine if youâre unwilling to treat my mother. However, weâre a family after all. You havenât come home for a long time. I heard that you have a son with His Royal Highness. When youâre free, you should bring him to the Yu Residence. I believe everyone will be very happy to see the both of you.â
Yu Yunxi thought to herself, âOh, it seems like sheâs matured. She can actually control her temper a little nowâ¦â
âLetâs go, Your Royal Highness,â Yu Yunxi said gently to Feng Yili, ignoring Yu Wanrong.
The docile expression on Yu Wanrongâs vanished immediately, replaced by a fierce expression as she watched Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili leave. If her father had not asked her to think of a way to trick Yu Yunxi back to the Yu Residence, she would not have lowered herself to this extent.
On the other side, when Yu Yunxi arrived in front of the carriage, she suddenly stopped moving and turned to look at Feng Yili with a frown. She asked, âFeng Yili, donât you think itâs strange?â
Feng Yili asked in return, âYouâre talking about You Wanrongâs sudden invitation?â
âThatâs right. Knowing Madam Chen, sheâd rather die than let me treat her. After all, sheâs worried that Iâll seize the opportunity and kill her without anyone knowing,â Yu Yunxi said seriously, âI donât think Madam Chen is sick at all. Thereâs probably a trap waiting for me back at the Yu Residence.â
âWhat do they hope to achieve?â
Yu Yunxi tugged at Feng Yiliâs sleeve lightly and said, âFeng Yili, I want to sneak into the Yu Residence nowâ¦â
âIâll accompany you.â
Yu Yunxi shook her head and rejected him. âNo need. I want to investigate their motives. Itâs broad daylight now. With the two of us, weâll be easily discovered.â
âIâm worried about you,â Feng Yili said. His attitude was quite unyielding.
Yu Yunxi sighed. She had already expected this. However, she still said, âFeng
Yili, donât worry. Iâll protect myself.â
After persuading him for a long time, she finally succeeded in stopping him from going to the Yu Residence with her.
Yu Yunxi secretly followed Yu Wanrong back to the Yu Residence. After Yu
Wanrongâs carriage entered the residence, she also snuck into the residence. The Yu family had declined. As such, they had to dismiss many of their servants. The huge residence was rather empty, and there were no secret guards. For this reason, Yu Yunxi was not worried about being discovered. At this moment, Yu Wanrongâs angry voice rang from not far away.
âMother, that little b*tch was really too much! I invited her back to the residence nicely, but she and the Prince Regent humiliated me!â
Madam Chen felt her heart ache. She quickly said comfortingly, âItâs been hard on you, Wanrong.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, Madam Chen said, complaining, âI donât know whatâs wrong with your father! He knows that you donât have a good relationship with Yu Yunxi so he shouldâve asked someone else to invite her back. I donât understand why he insisted on you inviting her back.â
Then, Madam Chen moved on to cursing Yu Yunxi. âThat little b*tch! She can only be arrogant now because of her identity as the Princess Regent!â
âMother, stop talking. Itâs all my fault for being so disappointing. The Chen family has already said that Cousin Sister will be engaged to the Crown Prince in a month. Everyoneâs doing so well, but I have to live the rest of my life with this rotten face!â Yu Wanrong said hatefully.
Madam Chen felt terrible when she heard these words. She quickly softened her tone and said, âWanrong, we still have a chance. Your father has said that the Imperial Preceptor has a strange medicine that can heal your face.â âWhy would the Imperial Preceptor help me?â Yu Wanrong asked.
âThatâs because he needs your fatherâs help. Wanrong, why do you think your father wants you to trick Yu Yunxi into coming here today?â Madam Chen asked rhetorically.. Then, she leaned closer and said in a hushed voice, âThatâs because the Imperial Preceptor told him to do soâ¦â
