Chapter 49 - Hypocritical White Lotus
Xiao Tianyi was shocked and displeased. He looked at Yun Qianyu, a woman who used to be weak and timid. Now she had become fearless and sarcastic.
In the hall, Yun Qianxue began to sweat all over; even her cheeks were sweating. Every word that Yun Qianyu said was straight to the point.
She was really afraid that Xiao Tianyi would believe her words and doubt her.
Yun Qianxue looked back at Xiao Tianyi and said sadly, “Tianyi, I didn’t do anything. Why won’t my sister believe me?”
After saying that, she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Qianyu, and said, “Elder sister, what would it take for you to believe me? I didn’t do it. I really didn’t do it. If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to die to show my innocence.”
Yun Qianxue hurriedly got up and ran toward the wall.
All the people in the hall were shocked. Yun Lei responded and exclaimed, “Xue`er, don’t do it.”
Xiao Tianyi swiftly came to her side and hugged Yun Qianxue. He then scolded Yun Qianxue with dissatisfaction,
“Xue`er, what are you doing? It has nothing to do with you. If your sister wants to hate someone, she can just hate me.”
Yun Lei, too said, “Xue`er, it has nothing to do with you. You didn’t mean it.”
Liu Shi also said, “Xue`er, if anything happened to you, what should his highness do? His highness would become even sadder.”
Xiao Tianyi nodded in agreement with Liu Shi’s words, “Indeed, Xue`er, this is my business. I will explain it to your elder sister. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself. I will deal with it.”
Xiao Tianyi then looked at the two servant girls, Hai Tang and Shui Xian.
These two girls were Yun Qianxue’s servant girls.
Xiao Tianyi ordered the two servant girls to help the second young miss back to rest.
Hai Tang and Shui Xian respectfully received the orders and said, “yes, your highness.”
The two of them came forward and helped Yun Qianxue. Yun Qianxue struggled and called out to Yun Qianyu, “sister, believe me, I didn’t do it. I didn’t want his highness to do such a thing. I really want you to marry him.”
Yun Qianxue was soon taken away by the two maids.
In the hall, Yun Qianyu looked at her with irony. When Yun Qianxue was gone, she looked back at Xiao Tianyi and Yun Lei.
Before Xiao Tianyi spoke, Yun Lei began to speak,
“Yun Qianyu, what happened yesterday has nothing to do with your second younger sister. She knows nothing about it at all. The only thing she knew was that I asked her to marry Xuan King on your behalf. Because you were saved and your face was ruined, Father thought that Xuan King would not want you. Even if you married him, your life would not be better. Seeing that Xuan King and your second younger sister liked each other, I thought maybe your second younger sister could take your place.”
“Your second younger sister didn’t agree with this at first. I persuaded her for a long time before she agreed.”
Yun Lei looked at Xiao Tianyi after saying that. When he saw that Xiao Tianyi did not react poorly to what he said, he became relieved.
Yun Qianyu looked at Yun Lei and didn’t bother to reply to him. If he wanted to lie to Xiao Tianyi, did she have anything to do with it?
Yun Qianyu did not look at Yun Lei anymore; she felt sick even looking at him anymore.
She looked at Xiao Tianyi and asked angrily, “Why had his highness come here so early in the morning? I’m not well, and I have to sleep. Please tell me what’s the matter.”
“Yun Qianyu, what happened yesterday has nothing to do with Xue`er. Everything was decided by this King. Don’t blame Xue`er.”
