The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 226 Misunderstanding

Leng Chenyuan tried hard to suppress his shock.

This happened so many years ago, and very few people know about it.

His father had few children, only three sons. When the incident occurred, he and the second prince were still young, so his father suppressed the matter, only privately punishing the second prince and not letting anyone know about it or allowing him to tell anyone.

Qin Wanying, she even knows this...

So what she said is true?

Will he really become the Emperor of Yunze?

Just then, a carriage came speeding by, and the driver shouted, "Make way! Make way!"

It looks like the horses have gone out of control.

Leng Chenyuan's injuries hadn't fully healed, and he was moving somewhat slowly. Qin Wanying, who knew some martial arts, pulled Leng Chenyuan over, just in time to avoid the carriage.

At this distance, some skin contact is inevitable.

Xiao Jiye, who was not far away, happened to see this scene.

From his perspective, the two were very close, behaving intimately, and chatting and laughing.

Xiao Jiye stood there, stunned.

The jade rabbit he bought for Qin Wanying slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground.

He looked at the man next to Qin Wanying; he was quite handsome.

The world seemed to fall silent; he could not hear any sound.

No wonder there's been no movement lately. Were you out at the market with someone?

In that instant, Xiao Jiye imagined a lot of things.

Perhaps because he was the crown prince, she was unwilling to marry him?

Perhaps she wants to find an ordinary person and live a simple, ordinary life.

Xiao Jiye wanted to go up and ask Qin Wanying what her relationship with this man was.

He had just taken a step when he suddenly thought, what was his relationship with Qin Wanying? What right did he have to question her?

They stopped again.

Xiao Jiye turned around and walked back dejectedly.

Yu Feng was by the Crown Prince's side. He had just seen Qin Wanying with that man, and he knew why His Highness was in a bad mood.

However, Yu Feng was always sensible, so he said nothing and went back with the Crown Prince.

(Don't worry, the misunderstanding will be cleared up soon.)

Qin Wanyue came out of the store, and the three of them walked together.

I went into a clothing store.

First, we measured Leng Chenyuan's dimensions.

Qin Wanyue enthusiastically helped Leng Chenyuan choose clothes, thinking this one looked good and that one looked nice too.

Qin Wanyue held the clothes up to Leng Chenyuan's body, and some physical contact was inevitable, causing Leng Chenyuan's face to turn slightly red.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time—someone who was kind to him, willing to buy him clothes, willing to feed him medicine, and willing to care for him.

Looking at Qin Wanyue now, he felt that she was even more beautiful than before, and he couldn't help but smile.

"What do you think of these clothes?" Qin Wanyue asked Leng Chenyuan, holding up the clothes in her hand.

Leng Chenyuan smiled, his eyes filled with affection: "Everything you picked is beautiful."

Qin Wanying: ......

Why do you have to bring me along as a third wheel?! Why?!

I really am just my sister's toy.

Qin Wanyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.

She didn't know what a light bulb was, but she could roughly guess what it meant.

Qin Wanyue observed Leng Chenyuan's expression and noticed a strange light flashing in his eyes.

She immediately realized that Leng Chenyuan could also hear her younger sister's thoughts.

She was secretly delighted when she discovered this.

The fact that Leng Chenyuan could hear his younger sister's thoughts shows that he is different.

The family can hear the younger sister's thoughts. Does this mean he's family too?

Qin Wanying couldn't take it anymore and went outside to wait for them.

I'll be a dog if I ever go out with those two again!

Qin Wanyue and Leng Chenyuan couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Only Qin Wanyue and Leng Chenyuan were in the shop; the owner couldn't hear them talking from his seat.

Qin Wanyue asked, "Chen Yuan, could you hear what we just heard?"

Leng Chenyuan had just noticed Qin Wanyue's reaction and was wondering if she could hear him, so Qin Wanyue asked him.

"You can hear me too?" Leng Chenyuan asked.

“Yes, our whole family can. That’s why I’m certain Wanying’s prediction was accurate,” Qin Wanyue replied.

Leng Chenyuan still found this matter too unbelievable; it was the first time he had ever heard someone else's thoughts.

"Don't let my younger sister know, or she'll feel uncomfortable," Qin Wanyue said.

"Don't worry," Leng Chenyuan replied briefly.

Qin Wanyue was overjoyed, Leng Chenyuan was blissfully happy, and Qin Wanying returned home speechlessly.

After returning home, Qin Yezhong called Leng Chenyuan over.

Leng Chenyuan felt uneasy.

Why does the Marquis call him that?

After all, he was living under someone else's roof, and he knew that the most powerful person in the mansion was the Marquis of Dingbei.

He approached Qin Yezhong and bowed respectfully, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Excellency."

He said he would stay as a servant, so of course he couldn't call himself a prince.

"Third Prince, please don't stand on ceremony, please sit down." Qin Yezhong gestured to the chair behind him.

Leng Chenyuan paused for a moment, then sat down in the chair.

"I went to see His Majesty today and told him about your matter."

Leng Chenyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Did Emperor Yao also know about him?

That makes sense. Marquis Dingbei has always been loyal, and he had heard about it in Yunze. How could he hide such a big matter?

Now that Emperor Yao knows about him, does he also know about Qin Wanying's prophecy that he will become the ruler of Yunze Kingdom?

"His Majesty wishes to see you," Qin Yezhong continued.

Leng Chenyuan's expression was solemn.

I wonder what the emperor wants to see him for.

"Don't worry, His Majesty won't send you back to Emperor Yunze. He just wants to see you and have a word with you," Qin Yezhong said.

Leng Chenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If they don't return him, it would be an attempt to win him over. At the very least, their own lives would be safe.

It's likely that Emperor Yao believed Qin Wanying's prophecy. If so, he would have shown Qin some respect.

-----------------

Xiao Jiye returned to the Crown Prince's residence, feeling sullen and unhappy.

Yu Feng saw through his thoughts and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up: "If Your Highness has any doubts, why not ask Princess Shenji? What if there's some misunderstanding?"

Yu Feng's words enlightened Xiao Jiye.

Yes, what's the point of overthinking here? It would be better to just ask her directly and get things out in the open.

"Send someone to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence to inform them that Princess Shenji is invited to come and enjoy tea."

"Yes." Yu Feng left.

-----------------

Qin Wanying is at the Marquis of Dingbei's residence.

Seeing her sister with Leng Chenyuan today, she suddenly thought of Xiao Jiye.

A thought suddenly occurred to her: she wanted to do some daily activities with Xiao Jiye, just like before.

I was indeed very happy when I was in the Crown Prince's residence. Now that I've left, I'm starting to miss that month of life.

Just then, a messenger from the Crown Prince's residence came to report that His Highness had invited her to come over for tea.

Qin Wanying immediately smiled broadly, still thinking that she and Xiao Jiye were indeed in sync.

So I went along with it.
