Chapter 953: Chapter 957, Storm in the City (1 more
As the sky turned slightly bright, many carriages had already stopped in front of the Yun Family’s gate, and the servants quickly carried boxes and moved things into the carriages.
The maids were going in and out, placing various small bundles into the carriages.
Mrs. He assumed Yun Jinnian would sit in the Commandery Princess’s sedan chair, unexpectedly she was the same as them.
"What can be done?"
The same carriage, how would others know which carriage Yun Jinnian was in?
Mrs. He was somewhat anxious, but Yun Jinnian didn’t give her a chance to change, standing aside with Hemei and Henuan.
"Jinnian, are you only bringing two maids?" Mrs. He quietly asked.
"Yes!"
Openly, she was just bringing Hemei and Henuan, but there must be more hidden.
Yet, she wouldn’t explain much to Mrs. He.
As they were speaking, Grandmother Yun slowly came with the support of Xu Xinmo, Yun Musi, and Yun Mulan.
"Grandmother!"
Yun Jinnian softly called out.
"Hmm, everyone get on the carriages!" Grandmother Yun said indifferently, getting on the carriage first, letting Xu Xinmo sit with her, Yun Musi and Yun Mulan also got on the carriage together.
Yun Jinnian was about to walk to the rear carriage when Xu Xinmo lifted the carriage curtain and whispered, "Cousin, aren’t you coming up?"
Yun Jinnian initially didn’t want to go up. After thinking for a moment, she finally signaled Hemei and Henuan to sit in the rear carriage, and stepped onto the carriage.
Xu Xinmo sat on Grandmother Yun’s left, Yun Mulan on the right, Yun Musi sat next to Yun Mulan, and Yun Jinnian sat beside Xu Xinmo, facing Yun Mulan.
Along the way, Xu Xinmo, Yun Mulan, and Yun Musi continuously tried to cheer Grandmother Yun up, only Yun Jinnian sat quietly, neither affected by joy nor sorrow, listening to them laugh like flowers.
She didn’t interrupt or speak much, quietly as if she didn’t exist.
During this time, Grandmother Yun looked at Yun Jinnian several times, with increasing disgust in her eyes.
Growing ever more displeased with Yun Jinnian, she had been undecided, but now she was determined to ruin Yun Jinnian.
As for the person she chose, she hadn’t decided who.
But she believed, since Mrs. He so strongly advocated for her to go to Huguo Temple, she must have arranged something long ago.
At that time, she would support Mrs. He in secret to handle it.
The carriage went clopping ahead, not fast or slow, thus not arriving at Huguo Temple before nightfall, so Mrs. He had someone arrange accommodations early, so they would proceed to Huguo Temple the next morning.
At this moment in the Capital City
At the gates of Prince Rui Residence.
A woman holding her child knelt at the gate and was soon invited inside.
Soon after, gossip began circulating in the streets and alleys, saying Prince Rui maintained a mistress outside who had given birth to a son, and now she had come with the child to recognize his father.
Initially, people didn’t believe it, but Prince Rui Residence promptly invited a wet nurse, and news spread that the child resembled Prince Rui by seventy or eighty percent.
So it was true.
Prince Rui had a son, which became the biggest topic in the capital, discussed everywhere, and soon the Emperor learned about it.
"This Prince Rui is really..." The Emperor paused slightly, contemplating the news received that day, then resumed, "Let him be!"
The Emperor originally did not wish Yun Jinnian to marry Chu Yu, but now the Crown Prince of Zhou Nation had sent a letter to him, intending to take Yun Jinnian away.
If Yun Jinnian was successfully taken away, Chu Yu would surely falter miserably.
The Emperor couldn’t have imagined that Chu Yu and Yun Jinnian were not like they appeared on the surface; they were already secretly together.
Most likely, they had already been intimate, and the child was quite possibly not anyone else’s but Yun Jinnian and Chu Yu’s.
"Someone come, go check how old that child is!"
