Unexpected Reversal

Old Madam Yun was momentarily stunned, while Yun Yan reacted quickly and hastily said, “Of course it’s true! The imperial doctor has confirmed it, and the Prince is aware as well. I hope His Royal Highness won’t disappoint my granddaughter.”

Yun Nian rolled her eyes and began her act once again.

Yun Yan had just been coveting these lavish gifts, so how could she let them slip away by insisting on breaking off the marriage with Prince Cheng’en?

Aunt Su Bai frowned, her expression clearly not favorable.

Yun Yan continued her act, wiping away nonexistent tears from her eyes with a pitiful look.

“Aunt, my sister loves His Royal Highness wholeheartedly. In order for her to marry a good man and for her child to have a father, I am willing to break off the marriage. The compensation from Princess Royal is not at all unfair to me. I willingly accept it.”

Although Princess Royal and Prince Cheng’en were incredibly wealthy, she wouldn’t be swayed by their riches!

No matter what, Prince Cheng’en could never inherit the throne like Prince Huai.

She would become the future Princess Consort!

She would become the most esteemed woman in the entire world!

She couldn’t let herself be blinded by temporary wealth and luxury.

Old Madam Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there was no blame, Yun Yan would receive compensation from Princess Royal and break off the marriage with Prince Cheng’en, killing two birds with one stone.

The Old Madam’s mouth curled into a smile, but little did she expect Aunt Su Bai to speak up at this moment.

“Lady Yun Yan, you have misunderstood. It’s my fault for not explaining clearly. The compensation from Princess Royal is for Fourth Lady. Princess Royal knows that Fourth Lady has suffered.”

Yun Nian looked utterly confused.

This unexpected reversal caught her off guard.

Yun Yan was even more bewildered than Yun Nian.

It wasn’t for her?

Realizing this, Yun Yan immediately glared at Yun Nian with resentment.

How dare this despicable person!

Unmarried and pregnant, tarnishing her reputation all because of a fake pregnancy.

And yet, Princess Royal showered her with so many good things?

Was Princess Royal blind?!

At this moment, Aunt Su Bai approached and held Yun Nian’s hand.

“Take good care of yourself. Princess Royal will handle everything for you as long as you behave. Her Highness will not mistreat you.”

Implicitly, Princess Royal wouldn’t mistreat her two children either.

Lady Yun’s face stiffened.

Did Princess Royal intend to support Yun Nian?

Yun Yan clenched her handkerchief in anger, wishing she could tear Yun Nian apart.

Yun Nian understood the underlying message from Aunt Su Bai.

She furrowed her brow.

“Her Highness Princess Royal has misunderstood. I am not pregnant.”

So Princess Royal was concerned about the ‘child’ in her womb.

Come to think of it, in the original novel, Princess Royal doted on Xiao Chengjun as if he were her own son.

Was it because she heard that she was carrying Prince Cheng’en’s child and wanted to become a grandmother?

Aunt Su Bai frowned slightly.

“The Chief Doctor from the Imperial Hospital personally diagnosed you. You have nothing to fear. Now that you carry His Royal Highness’s child, Princess Royal will take care of everything for you.” Su Bai thought to herself that Yun Nian seemed to lack some understanding of the situation.

Princess Royal wanted to support her, yet she refused. If it weren’t for the child she carried for Your Royal Highness, how could Princess Royal have any interest in her?

Yun Nian suddenly felt the frustration of being unable to defend herself!

“Keep these things for yourself. Princess Royal will handle matters with His Royal Highness. Just focus on taking care of yourself,” Aunt Su Bai said, glancing at the lavish gifts brought along.

Her words implied that Yun Nian should take good care of her pregnancy.

Yun Nian: …

She felt like she couldn’t explain herself clearly from head to toe.

No one was listening to her!

After Aunt Su Bai finished her instructions, Old Madam Yun smiled and saw her off.

Yun Yan’s eyes flickered as she considerately said, “Sister, now that Princess Royal has heard about your false pregnancy, how will you explain it to His Royal Highness and Princess Royal once the effects of the medicine wear off? Why don’t you give these things to me and Father? We can help you figure it out.”

Yun Nian raised her gaze.

Although she hadn’t wanted these gifts from Princess Royal, she hadn’t reached the point of considering money as worthless.

Yun Yan’s scheming thoughts could be heard from miles away.

Yun Nian smiled faintly.

“Why should I give the things Princess Royal gave me to you? If you want them, go talk to Princess Royal.”

“You…”

Yun Yan widened her eyes.

“Have you ever thought about how you will explain yourself to Prince Cheng’en and Princess Royal? Princess Royal’s gifts are not easy to obtain!”

“What can I do if I take them?”

Yun Nian remained indifferent, as if Yun Yan’s words were like a punch on cotton, leaving her seething with anger.

“You enjoy the benefits of the Yun family, so shouldn’t these things belong to the Yun family?!”

If this despicable person had any sense, she should have voluntarily given these things to her.

Who knows, she might even speak up for her in front of her father and grandmother.

Otherwise, Yun Nian would have no place in the Yun family!

Yun Nian sneered, “You, a concubine-born second daughter, dare to say that I, the legitimate first daughter, enjoy the benefits of the Yun family? Don’t you find it ridiculous? Why aren’t you considered as someone who enjoys the benefits of the Yun family?”

Yun Yan couldn’t believe it, “Is Fourth Sister really going to confront me?”

This despicable person has forgotten how she used to flatter and please her!

If Princess Royal and Prince Cheng’en find out that she is not actually pregnant, they will surely expose her deceit!

Without the support of the Yun family, Prince Cheng’en, who is cruel and ruthless, will surely tear her apart and feed her to the wolves!

Yun Nian stared at her curiously and asked, “Do you have any shame?”

Didn’t we already confront each other earlier?

Are you stupid to ask such a question?

“Yan’er is right, you have enjoyed the benefits of the Yun family, so naturally these things belong to the Yun family.”

Old Madam Yun, who had just seen off the guests, spoke firmly.

Yun Nian leisurely picked up a white jade bracelet from the generous gifts and said, “Fifth Sister, since you have no shame, why should our grandmother have any? Why should I give you the things that Princess Royal gave to me?”

“Outrageous!” scolded the Old Madam with great indignation.

Yun Nian casually cleaned her ears and said, “I didn’t bring anyone with me. Grandmother, please lend me two people to move these things to my courtyard. If even one item is missing, the entire imperial city will know that grandmother coveted the gifts given to me by Princess Royal.”

Old MadamYun’s face turned green.

This troublesome person…

“I have already tarnished my reputation, so I don’t care about my own name. I just want to see if grandmother cares about her own reputation,” Yun Nian said, satisfied with the Old Madam and Yun Yan’s darkened faces.

“This wicked creature! She wants to infuriate me! I want to see how long these things can protect her. Spread my words: cut off the monthly allowance and food supply to Fourth Sister’s courtyard, let her learn her lesson. The Yun family won’t tolerate her audacity!”

The Old Madam’s chest ached with anger.

Yun Yan consoled her, “Fourth Sister has gone too far. She actually threatened grandmother for a trivial gain. She is truly short-sighted. Grandmother, please don’t get angry. I will persuade Fourth Sister to apologize to you.”

Wait until Prince Cheng’en and Princess Royal find out that she is not pregnant.

Let’s see how she will meet her end!

The Old Madam felt somewhat relieved and patted Yun Yan’s hand, “You are sensible.”
