"What do you mean?!" Geng Yuyue asked unhappily.
She secretly glanced at Yi Zixing.
What was Yun Shu planning?
"You just need to say whether you like him or not. Looking at you, could it be that you like Young Master Yi?" Yun Shu's eyes twinkled with amusement.
Her entire being seemed to radiate light.
This was something everyone tacitly understood.
Many people knew that Geng Yuyue liked Yi Zixing.
And they all knew that the two of them were supposed to be engaged soon.
Was Yun Shu asking the obvious on purpose?
Geng Yuyue saw Yi Zixing frown.
Furthermore, Yi Zixing seemed to want to distance himself, explaining first, "Second Miss Yun misunderstands."
Geng Yuyue gritted her teeth, only able to save face by saying, "Yes, Second Miss Yun misunderstands. I... I don't like Young Master Yi!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu's brow furrowed slightly. "So you don't like Young Master Yi. But I've always heard people say that you like Young Master Yi so much that you'd only marry him?"
"Nonsense!" Geng Yuyue's face turned red.
"Since that's the case, let me help Second Miss Geng! Although it's a bet, I've always been kind and like to help people. I dislike those messy, unrealistic rumors the most! My bet is that Second Miss Geng will tell everyone that you don't like Young Master Yi, and you will absolutely not marry Young Master Yi! This is both a bet and my help to you," Yun Shu said unhurriedly.
Gu Zhiruo blinked, wondering if it could really be like this.
Geng Yuyue's face turned ashen, "You!"
"Did I do a good deed that turned out bad? Do you like Young Master Yi?" Yun Shu feigned surprise.
Yi Zixing's frown deepened.
Geng Yuyue's eyes reddened, and she bit her teeth hard. The darkness in front of her eyes grew more intense. She had to endure it, forced to say insincerely, "I don't like Young Master Yi, and I won't marry him!"
"I don't like Young Master Yi!"
Yun Shu nodded with a smile, "Second Miss Geng, you don't need to thank me."
Geng Yuyue gasped, feeling as if her throat was filled with blood. With bloodshot eyes, she said, "I really must thank Second Miss Yun. If it weren't for Second Miss Yun, I wouldn't have this opportunity to clarify these misunderstandings today."
"Please don't feel indebted to me, Second Miss Geng. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. Well, it's getting late, I'm returning to the capital with the game!" Yun Shu bid farewell to everyone decisively.
Before leaving, she gave some of the game to Gu Zhiruo.
A moment later.
Everyone watched Yun Shu's carriage disappear into the distance.
They were all marveling in their hearts.
What had Yun Shu experienced in these past few years?
The change was too great!
The two incidents that happened today were all related to Yun Shu, yet Yun Shu emerged unscathed in the end.
Yi Zixing's gaze was deeply fixed on the receding carriage, lost in thought.
Geng Yuyue wanted to say a few words to Yi Zixing before leaving, but unexpectedly, Yi Zixing was lost in thought, watching Yun Shu's carriage.
She took a deep breath.
She felt her throat fill with the metallic taste of blood.
She quickly got into her carriage.
"Second Miss Yun is different from before..."
"Yes, do you believe that Second Miss Yun has nothing to do with what happened to Second Miss Li today?"
"Why do I feel like someone deliberately tried to harm Second Miss Yun, but in the end, they ended up harming themselves?"
"..."
An hour later.
The events that occurred during the hunt were exaggerated and spread throughout the capital.
Everyone knew about Li Yue'e's situation.
They also knew that Geng Yuyue had lost to Yun Shu again.
However, Geng Yuyue's loss was far less explosive than Li Yue'e's situation.
The entire capital was talking about Li Yue'e.
The Li family wished to turn the tide, but they couldn't.
Nearly half of the capital's nobility had witnessed it today. With so many mouths, how could they possibly silence them all?
Soon, before midnight, the Li family sent Li Yue'e to a nunnery outside the city.
Li Yuexian couldn't sleep until dawn.
She clutched Li夫人's hand and said, "It should have been Yun Shu. How did it become Yue'e?"
"From now on, don't ever provoke Yun Shu again. With General Yun in the capital now, who knows how many people might be protecting her in secret? Do you think you could harm her?" Li夫人's face was pale as she wiped away tears. She had been crying all night, her tears almost dried up. She had poured her heart and soul into her two daughters, only to have one of them ruined in the end!
The Li family's reputation was also ruined!
Li Yuexian was filled with hatred.
She suddenly thought of something.
She glanced at the sky outside.
Daybreak!
"Mother, I want to see Prince Ye. Prince Ye has me in his heart, and he definitely won't let these rumors outside harm my Li family." Li Yuexian was confident of this. She would go and see Prince Ye!
When Li夫人 heard this, her eyes lit up. "Good, hurry!"
With Prince Ye's intervention, the Li family would definitely not be in such a pathetic state of being mocked by everyone!
...
Meanwhile.
A secret letter, sent by carrier pigeon, arrived in Yun Yueyin's hands.
The moment Yun Yueyin saw the letter, her expression changed dramatically.
She exclaimed in shock, "Who is secretly helping Yun Shu?"
It had exceeded her expectations once again!
It had surprised her once again!
It seemed she had to go and meet Yun Shu in person! xxs1
...
Yun Shu had a good night's sleep.
It was already night when she returned yesterday. She had handed over the game to the people in the manor.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Jing Heng standing there.
He looked at her with a serious expression.
"Did someone try to harm the master yesterday?" Jing Heng asked.
Yun Shu paused for a moment and smiled, "They didn't succeed. Don't be nervous."
"I'll investigate the mastermind behind this. I will kill her!" Jing Heng narrowed his eyes, his handsome features now tinged with a fierce bloodlust.
If any young girl accidentally saw him, she would surely cry in fear.
"No need to investigate. I know who it is."
"Who?!"
"An old acquaintance." Yun Shu's gaze shifted to Yun Changfeng, who was striding towards them from not far away, and answered Jing Heng concisely.
Seeing Yun Changfeng arrive with such speed, she knew that Yun Changfeng, like Jing Heng, understood that she was the one who was truly meant to be harmed yesterday.
"Shu'er!" Yun Changfeng arrived in a hurry.
Yun Shu immediately said with a smile, "Father, don't rush. Let me explain slowly..."
As Yun Shu recounted the events, Yun Changfeng's stern and cold features gradually softened.
Finally, he sighed, "Even now, they still try to harm you like this. Five years ago, Shu'er, how did you cope with those open and hidden arrows?"
"It's all my fault, Father."
"If you hadn't been on guard yesterday and had failed to escape, you would have been the one hurt!"
"I must investigate this matter thoroughly."
After Yun Changfeng finished speaking, he got up and walked out.
Yun Shu didn't even have time to stop him.
...
Prince Ye's Mansion.
The guards at the gate were shocked when the visitor claimed to be the eldest daughter of the Li family.
This was the future princess consort!
He immediately went inside to report.
Li Yuexian stood at the gate, waiting anxiously.
She had already figured out what to say when she met Prince Ye!
She would tell Prince Ye that it was Yun Shu who had harmed her sister!
