Yun Yueyin stiffened as she turned to look at Wen Shu.
The look of disgust on Zhan Ming's face just now and his parting words had struck her so hard that she didn't know how to react.
Suddenly, she heard Wen Shu say something terrible had happened, and she was momentarily bewildered.
Could anything more significant happen?
Wen Shu, anxious as an ant on a hot pan, didn't notice Yun Yueyin's unusual state. She hurried, flustered, and cried, "Miss, we can't stay at the inn anymore!"
"Why not?" Yun Yueyin asked reflexively.
Her whole body trembled. Stumbling, she picked up the mask from the floor and put it back on.
Wen Shu cried, "The innkeeper said he's going to raise our prices! He's going to triple the price!"
"What? Raise the price? We've already booked the entire inn. How can they arbitrarily raise prices?" Yun Yueyin retorted sharply.
"The innkeeper said the inn needs to be renovated, and our continued stay is hindering the renovation! That's why they're raising the price! Madam and the old madam are negotiating with the innkeeper, saying they can give more money, but the innkeeper refused. He said unless we pay three times the amount, we have to leave the inn today!" Wen Shu quickly explained.
Yun Yueyin seemed to hear something unbelievable. "Do they think this is the only inn in the capital?"
"I followed Madam's instructions and inquired at several inns. All of them had higher prices! Miss, Madam said we don't have that much money, and we probably can't stay at the inn anymore. We have to move back to the Yun Manor! Otherwise, we'll have to move to the suburban villa!" Wen Shu said, biting her lip.
Yun Yueyin's vision went dark.
She felt as if someone was deliberately manipulating all of this.
Otherwise, how could so many inns trouble her simultaneously?
"We absolutely cannot move back to the Yun Manor!"
Yun Yueyin always remembered the fortune teller's words. If she moved back, she would be finished!
Her bad luck recently, coupled with the Regent's words just now, told her she had no other choice.
Gritting her teeth and hardening her heart, she decided to make a desperate move!
"Go! Tell Mother and the others to send someone to burn down the Yun Manor! Then, we'll temporarily move to the suburban villa! Tomorrow, tomorrow we can return to the General's Manor!" Yun Yueyin gritted out.
"Yes, Miss!" Wen Shu wiped away her tears and hurried out.
Yun Yueyin sat down, somewhat dejected.
She always had a feeling that a pair of unseen hands were controlling these inns from behind the scenes.
Perhaps it was Yun Shu.
No, impossible. Yun Shu didn't have that ability.
"No one can take away what I've worked so hard to achieve!"
Yun Yueyin gritted her teeth.
She was just caught off guard by Yun Shu's sudden change!
Suddenly.
Yun Yueyin, who had been at a loss, suddenly thought of someone.
"There's someone who can definitely help me!"
...
As Yang Shi, with her entourage, busily packed their belongings to leave the inn and head to the suburban villa,
Consort Xiao stopped Yun Ying.
"We must leave. We can't continue to move to the suburbs with them."
Yun Ying was stunned. "Mother, didn't you say I should maintain a sisterly relationship with Yun Yueyin and then find a good marriage? Why are we leaving now? If we leave, what about my marriage prospects?"
"I have a feeling that Yun Yueyin is no match for Yun Shu anymore! Moreover, I secretly saw Yun Yueyin's face yesterday. If she weren't pregnant now, the Regent probably wouldn't give her a second glance. However, it's rumored outside that the Regent has certain private ailments. I suspect that Yun Yueyin's unborn child might not be the Regent's. So, to be safe, why don't we leave early? Leave the capital!" Consort Xiao frowned deeply.
Yun Ying's eyes widened. "Not the Regent's? Then... if the Regent finds out, won't we all suffer?"
Consort Xiao nodded.
"But if I leave the capital, I won't be able to marry into a powerful family!" Yun Ying gritted her teeth. She didn't want to marry someone from a humble background.
How could Consort Xiao be willing to accept this? She sighed deeply. "Do you want to visit Prince Ye?"
"Prince Ye?" Yun Ying looked at the servants busily packing their things. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Yes, Prince Ye...
Consort Xiao said in a low voice, "Prince Ye currently has two sons, neither of whom has a mother. If you can make Prince Ye fall for you, or use some method to make Prince Ye marry you, you'll still be Princess Ye, at the very least."
This was their mother and daughter's last resort!
"Alright!"
...
In the bustling market.
Taking advantage of Yun Shu, Jing Heng, and Yun Changfeng's absence, Yun Xiao Jing sneaked out.
He hadn't eaten rock candy hawthorn for many days and was craving it.
He secretly ran to the market.
First, he bought rock candy hawthorn, eating as he strolled through the market.
The little figure's eyes could barely keep up with everything.
The market had everything.
He bought so many things that he could barely hold them.
Holding his purchases, he prepared to go to Prince Ye's manor.
He wanted to see his brother.
And he wanted to see Gu Xiaofeng.
He heard his mother say that Gu Xiaofeng was his second brother! His second brother, who was thrown into the mountains by a wicked woman to be eaten by wild dogs, but miraculously survived!
His mother had said they would meet in a couple of days, but he couldn't wait!
"I wonder if Gu Xiaofeng looks like me!"
Moreover, he had heard Uncle Jing Heng say that Gu Xiaofeng still recognized the wicked woman as his adoptive mother. He was really angry. That wicked woman was too wicked!
Filled with anticipation, Yun Xiao Jing walked towards Prince Ye's manor.
Before long, he arrived at Prince Ye's manor.
The doorman at Prince Ye's manor was very fond of Yun Xiao Jing. Although he knew Yun Xiao Jing had left Prince Ye's manor, he was still very happy to greet him. "Xiao Jing, you're back?"
"Yes! Uncle, I want to go in and see my brother!" Yun Xiao Jing smiled innocently and brightly, revealing a row of small white teeth.
Facing such an adorable Yun Xiao Jing, who could refuse?
The Prince had previously instructed that if Xiao Jing returned, he should be brought in directly.
"Are you missing the Prince? The Prince is in the manor. He'll be overjoyed to see you!" the doorman quickly said.
Yun Xiao Jing blinked. "Yes!"
He had his mother, he didn't miss his scummy father at all!
However, he still had to put on a show, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see Gu Xiaofeng!
He was afraid that Gu Xiaofeng would be misled by the wicked woman. He wanted to help Gu Xiaofeng see the wicked woman's true colors!
"Xiao Jing, you're so well-behaved and likable! When Uncle has children in the future, I hope they'll be as smart and cute as you!" The doorman liked Yun Xiao Jing more and more, taking the items from him, helping to carry them, and then taking Yun Xiao Jing into the manor.
Yun Xiao Jing nodded with a happy smile. "Uncle's future son will be even cuter than me!"
"Hahahaha!"
Accompanied by laughter, the doorman brought Yun Xiao Jing to Zhan Tian Ye.
