Yun Yueyin's words about Yun Shu's disguise made Yun Ying look down on her even more.
Because Yun Yueyin had said that Yun Shu's face and body were not free of scars.
Only disguise could hide the scars on her face.
"Disguise?" Yun Shu raised an eyebrow.
She suddenly remembered that Yun Yueyin had disfigured her face and body years ago.
If she hadn't had medical skills, she would have been covered in scars.
Completely unpresentable.
"Yes! At this point, do you think you can still hide it from us? Tell me, if Young Master Yi knew your face was covered in scars, would he still dote on you?" Yun Ying asked with a cold sneer.
The person she despised the most right now was Yun Shu.
She put on the pretense of a peerless beauty, but in reality, she was wearing a human-skin mask!
Especially when she heard that Young Master Yi actually liked Yun Shu, she became even more jealous. Why Yun Shu?
Yun Shu looked at Yun Ying, who thought she had seen through everything, and said, "Are you done?"
"What's your attitude? Yun Shu, do you really think you can get out? If you could get out, it would be a death sentence. Father can't save you. Also, do you think Young Master Yi can save you? Tell me, if I tell Young Master Yi that you're actually an ugly monster with scars all over your face, will he still try to save you? Don't delude yourself! You might as well beg me properly. If I'm happy, I'll ask Big Sister to intercede for you. Big Sister might say a few good words for you in front of the Regent.
Yun Ying was furious. She thought Yun Shu would be in a sorry state, even begging her.
But she never expected Yun Shu's attitude to be lukewarm, as if she were treating her words as a joke.
"Come here for a moment," Yun Shu smiled, beckoning Yun Ying closer.
Seeing Yun Shu smile, Yun Ying thought she was being friendly and trying to appease her, so she quickly walked a few steps closer.
And she said proudly, "You know regret now? I'm telling you, Yun Shu, if you can kneel down and beg me properly, I promise I'll put in a good word for you with Big Sister. Big Sister is deeply favored by the Regent, and the Regent dotes on Big Sister. A few words from Big Sister might save you and Father."
She suddenly felt so relieved!
Finally, she could hold her head high!
The next moment.
With a slap.
Yun Ying covered her face and cried out, "You dare to hit me!"
Yun Shu lowered her eyes and looked at her palm, wiping it a few times with a handkerchief. "Yun Ying, if you dare to come before me and act arrogantly again, do you believe I'll take your life directly? If you don't want to die, get lost."
"You! You dare to hit me?! And tell me to get lost? You'll regret this!" Yun Ying raised her hand to hit Yun Shu.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, she met Yun Shu's eyes.
Was it because the prison was too dark?
It made Yun Shu's eyes appear cold and dark, quite eerie.
It made her suddenly feel fear.
She gritted her teeth, "You will regret this!"
With that, she turned and ran out.
After leaving the prison, Yun Ying did not rush back to the Yun Manor to inform Yun Yueyin about Yun Shu's situation.
Instead, she headed to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.
She was going to tell Yi Zixing the truth!
She had a secret, a secret she had kept in her heart all along.
Among all the talented young men in the capital, the one she admired most was Young Master Yi!
Therefore, when she learned that Young Master Yi actually liked Yun Shu, she was filled with hatred for Yun Shu.
Soon.
She saw Yi Zixing at the gate of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.
Yi Zixing jumped off his horse.
"Young Master Yi!"
Yi Zixing frowned slightly and looked at Yun Ying, who had suddenly appeared before him, with a blank expression.
He found her somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen her before.
"Who are you?"
Yun Ying bit her lip. He had forgotten her?
They had clearly met a few times before!
Feeling a little wronged, she said, "Young Master Yi, I am Yun Ying, the third young lady of the Yun Manor. We've met a few times before."
"Oh?" Yi Zixing thought about it, but still couldn't recall.
If it were before, he might have thought about it a bit longer, but now he had urgent matters and no time to think about someone who hadn't managed to make him remember her in the first place.
Seeing that Yi Zixing didn't want to look at her at all, Yun Ying's hatred and jealousy towards Yun Shu intensified.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Young Master Yi, you've been deceived by Yun Shu! Yun Shu deceived you. Her face and body are covered in scars. She has become an ugly monster. To deceive people, she has disguised herself with a human-skin mask!"
She finished in one breath.
Yi Zixing frowned deeply, his gaze towards Yun Ying growing colder. "Who are you, and why are you slandering Second Young Lady Yun?"
"I'm not slandering her! I am her third sister. I just can't bear to see Young Master Yi deceived by her." Yun Ying was stunned. Why didn't Young Master Yi believe her?
Yi Zixing narrowed his eyes coldly, "Since you are her third sister, you should not slander her!"
"I, I'm not slandering her. Doesn't Young Master Yi believe me? I came today to inform Young Master Yi of the truth." Yun Ying was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Why was Young Master Yi still so stubborn?
"You may leave now," Yi Zixing said coldly.
He had heard about the discord among the Yun family's sisters before, and he had seen it.
But now, with Second Young Lady Yun in prison, her sister Yun Ying came to him to slander her, which was truly wicked!
Seeing Yi Zixing resolutely enter the Marquis's mansion without looking at her again, Yun Ying was so wronged that tears streamed down her face.
"Young Master Yi, you have truly been deceived by Yun Shu! You will surely regret it in the future!"
Yun Ying stomped her foot hatefully.
...
The Dali Temple.
The prison.
Yun Shu lay back on the tiger skin.
Bored, she closed her eyes to rest.
Finally, noon arrived.
The jailer came, "Second Young Lady Yun, come with us."
Yun Shu opened her eyes.
Before leaving, she gave the tiger skin to A'cha.
A'cha accepted the tiger skin.
Neither of them said anything, and then Yun Shu followed the jailer out of the prison.
A'cha watched Yun Shu's figure disappear into the prison.
However, the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
...
Yun Shu followed the jailer to the main hall of the Dali Temple.
Outside the hall, many commoners had gathered to watch.
Yun Shu immediately spotted Yun Changfeng.
Yun Changfeng sensed someone approaching from behind and turned to look.
Father and daughter exchanged a glance.
"Kneel down!"
Master Meng shouted.
Yun Shu's eyes flickered, and she knelt down beside him.
Master Meng's expression was grim. He had barely slept all night, his eyes bloodshot, which showed how tormented he had been.
"The evidence is all here, and quite a few letters between Yun Changfeng and foreign countries were found in the General's mansion, which is enough to prove that Yun Changfeng colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country!" Master Meng said sternly.
Then he had the guards bring up the evidence and show it to the onlookers.
The commoners whispered among themselves.
"Did General Yun really collude with the enemy and betray the country?"
"General Yun rarely lost battles before, so why would he collude with the enemy? Shouldn't he have been losing battles?"
