Chapter 431 Father and Daughter Confess
Zhou Jinghan knew that Yun Yi had a somewhat cold personality, so even though she only responded with one word, he was quite happy.
Although I was very reluctant to part with him, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so after hugging him for a moment, I quickly let go.
"How many days are you planning to wear it?" Yunyi straightened her clothes and sat down on the chair next to her.
“It won’t be long.” Zhou Jinghan sat down as well. “I just want to see if you’re alright here.”
"That's good." Yunyi nodded. "How stupid I was before, to be manipulated by someone like Sun Qingli."
Zhou Jinghan curled the corners of his lips: "It's good that it's you now."
Yunyi raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not reply.
Zhou Jinghan didn't say anything more about that. Instead, he walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote down the names of several people: "Although we've left the capital, we should still be able to trust these people."
Yunyi glanced at the names on the list, her eyes narrowing slightly: "They all know you're not dead?"
Zhou Jinghan shook his head: "No, but they were all my and my second brother's men before."
"I've got it." Yunyi glanced at it and then put the list away. She would test these people if she had the chance.
Human hearts are the most fickle thing.
Just then, Qibao's voice rang out from outside: "Mother, where are you?"
Yunyi glanced at Zhou Jinghan, then got up and went downstairs.
Qibao rushed over: "Mom, look, Xiaoqi smells so good now."
Yunyi picked up Qibao and kissed his cheek: "Yes, he smells so good."
Zhou Jinghan frowned. He hadn't even gotten a kiss yet, and this Xiao Qi was simply... becoming more and more unpleasant to look at.
Er Ya also came over.
Yunyi also kissed Erya.
"Who wants you to kiss me? I'm an adult." Er Ya said with a hint of disgust, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
"Really? Then kiss me back?" Yunyi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Never."
*Smack!* Qibao gave Yunyi a loud kiss: "Mommy, little Qibao kisses you."
Er Ya hurriedly came over: "Xiao Qi, Mother didn't want you to kiss her, how could you snatch her away?"
"I'll just take it, you silly second sister."
"I'll teach you a lesson." Er Ya tickled Qi Bao's skin.
Qibao twisted and laughed on Yunyi's body.
Yunyi joined in the commotion, and the entire Wonderful Building was instantly filled with laughter.
Zhou Jinghan watched from the side and smiled along, thinking that after everything was settled, he would find a beautiful place with her to live, have two children, and in the future...
"Young Miss." Fang Zhong's arrival interrupted Yun Yi's time with the children and also shattered Zhou Jinghan's daydreams.
"Butler, is something the matter?" Yunyi put Qibao down, walked out the door, and stood on the steps looking at Fang Zhong.
"The Earl is waiting for you in the front hall."
“Go tell my dad that he doesn’t like me, so I won’t go over there and make him angry.” Yunyi refused directly. “By the way, have someone open a gate in the backyard. From now on, I can enter and exit this yard separately, so I won’t run into people I don’t want to see and feel uncomfortable.”
Fang Zhong gave a wry smile: "Miss, this matter still needs the Earl's approval."
“Alright, then I’ll go see him.” Yunyi said, glancing back at Zhou Jinghan. “Husband, you and the children rest first. I’ll be back in a bit.”
"Wife, will your father-in-law make things difficult for you?"
Fang Zhong's lips twitched. This leg-pinching was really something... He was already eager to acknowledge his father-in-law? Too bad, the Earl wouldn't approve.
"It doesn't matter if it's difficult, we're already married anyway." Yunyi waved her hand dismissively. "Wait for me to come back."
In the front hall, Sun Qingli was crying and complaining: "Lord, Miss is getting more and more outrageous. Look what she did to me!"
Yunyi used some force in those two slaps, so half of her face was swollen up quite a bit.
"Alright," Fang Tang rubbed his temples. "Why did you go and provoke her?"
"I……"
"Dad, you wanted to see me?" Yun Yi walked in just then, and without even glancing at Sun Qingli, she sat down directly in the chair.
"Yunyi, Qingli is my legal wife and also your mother. How could you lay a hand on her?" Fang Tang tried to soften his voice as much as possible.
“She insulted my husband and children, and I was already being very restrained by slapping her.”
“You…” Fang Tang took a deep breath, “Are you really going to spend your life with that peasant? Are you really going to be his stepmother?”
“Father,” Yunyi sighed, “he is my benefactor, I cannot do something ungrateful.”
“Give him money and let him marry someone else.”
“Dad, you make it sound so easy.” Yunyi rolled her eyes. “Besides, we’ve been together for more than half a year and we’ve developed feelings for each other. I think that apart from being a bit older, a bit ugly, a bit poor, and having a few children, he’s better than any other man in the capital.”
Fang Tang: ...
As a man, besides these things, how good can anything else be?
Sun Qingli: ...
Suddenly, she felt no pain in her face anymore; she was only fit to marry a peasant.
“Since you don’t like it, I’d like to open a separate gate in the backyard. Then the people in my courtyard won’t have to go through the mansion anymore, and we’ll be able to avoid seeing each other and getting annoyed.”
"Qingli, you can go now." Fang Tang started to shoo her away.
Although Sun Qingli was reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to go. She stood up and bowed, saying, "Then I will take my leave first. However, my lord, the eldest young lady is truly a woman of deep affection and loyalty. Although I do not like her, I still admire her for this matter." After saying that, she turned and left.
Yunyi: ...
This woman is something else; she knows how to bend and stretch.
"Yunyi, I know you've always resented me." After Sun Qingli left, Fang Tang waved for the servants to leave, then sighed, his eyes even reddening. "But, Father has his reasons."
"Father, is your predicament that your concubine sold your legitimate daughter? If I were to report this to the authorities, would you still have any face left?"
"But Yunyi, do you have any evidence?"
"I……"
"Yunyi, marriage is a lifelong commitment. I've investigated that man; he's just a peasant. You're the eldest daughter of a noble family; are you really willing to waste your life in the countryside?"
"What can we do?"
"You were originally engaged to the Third Prince, and now that Chen Rui is in trouble, you can rekindle your relationship. Isn't that wonderful? The Third Prince's consort, you might even..."
What's possible?
"Once she becomes the prince's principal wife, anything is possible." Fang Tang smirked.
“Father, you scolded me before, saying that although I was engaged to the Third Prince, he didn’t like me. Later, after I got into trouble, I gave up. But... am I really that worthless? Can he just take me when he wants me and not take me when he doesn’t?”
