The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"What a beautiful pendant..."

Yun Nian's jade-like knuckles were set off by the dark green earrings, making her look even more extraordinary. She forgot to close the window and just sat in front of the bronze mirror.

It should not have been left by the maids. Except for Qiulan and the other two, the other maids were not allowed to enter her room.

It probably wasn't hers. She had always liked light-colored accessories, such as white, blue, and pink, since she was a child, but had never been attracted to such strong colors.

But for some reason, she thought the dark green color was also very beautiful. The tiny hook passed through the ear hole, and the dark green water droplets swayed gently under the pink earlobe.

Yun Nian looked at herself in the mirror. Her pale and cold face, her brightly colored earrings, and even her short hair didn't seem strange at all.

She tilted her head slightly, trying to see her profile clearly in the mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair and stopped at the end.

The figure in the mirror was clear, even the extra hem of the clothes behind him was clearly visible, and the dark black crane cloak carried an oppressive aura.

"If you think it's beautiful, why throw it away?"

The voice sounded familiar, but Yun Nian couldn't remember when he had heard it.

A man's voice was heard in her own boudoir. According to the normal response of a woman, Yun Nian should have shouted loudly so that the servants outside the door could hear and call the guards over.

But she didn't do that. She just turned around, her cold eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"But I didn't throw it away."

The man in the field of vision had a straight nose and thin lips. His lips were very light in color, like the pink of a crabapple flower when it first bloomed.

But what caught Yun Nian's attention was his pair of dark green eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to hide countless secrets.

He just stood upright, frowning, clearly showing some ill intentions, but the pink petals on the crane cloak diluted the sense of confrontation.

"Really? You always like to lie to people, and lies are just the weapon you are good at."

It was so strange. Although the words were clearly derogatory and accusatory, Yun Nian did not sense any malicious intent from this strange man that made her dislike him.

So she didn't ask him why he came, but looked at him curiously.

"So, have you been fooled?"

I have to say that now she looks like a cheerful young girl in her prime, rather than a well-behaved young lady in a deep house who seems to be bound by rules.

Perhaps her expression was too warm and light, which made the person on the other side look surprised and unacceptable.

"How dare you ask me back? I thought you would apologize and admit your mistake. You know, few people who deceived me can survive."

"Yun Nian, don't be arrogant because of my love for you. Don't think that you are special to me. This pendant is the last one I give it to you. You can throw it away or not."

The surprised expression on his face quickly disappeared, and he became indifferent again. However, Yun Nian felt that he looked worse now than before.

It was just a pity that the person in front of her was obviously not someone she could admire carefully. He snorted coldly, and jumped onto the windowsill in Yun Nian's somewhat amused gaze. The pendant on his waist flashed by, and then he fell lightly onto the roof.

After the voice faded away, Yun Nian fiddled with her earrings and said softly,

"I haven't asked his name yet."

During lunch, Yun Nian ate with his father, mother, and brother. He ate in silence, following the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.

However, the three of them were not the type to talk during meals, and without Yun Nian's lively conversation, the whole atmosphere became deserted.

Liu Shulan hesitated to speak, and winked at Yun Fang who was sitting next to her.

"Ahem, Sisi, I have already arranged the trip to the hot spring villa. If you have anything else to bring, or if you want any juggling equipment, you can tell me."

The quarrel in the morning almost caused Liu Shulan to divorce him, and even his own son seemed to have some complaints about it.

Yun Fang was also reflecting on how he was too demanding and too anxious about Yun Nian, and that he had not seriously asked her what she thought.

That's why it is brought up at this moment.

Yun Nian put down his chopsticks and placed his hands neatly in front of him.

"I have nothing in mind to bring, but my daughter is dull, so please pack some books for me so that she can be educated."

When those cold eyes stared at Yun Fang, he realized that the Sisi who used to be attached to him and willing to tell him everything was really gone.

"You said Sisi was stupid. When did you say that about her?"

Liu Shulan suppressed the question that was about to come out of her mouth and lowered her voice, thinking that Yun Nian couldn't hear clearly.

when?

Yun Fang himself couldn't quite remember, but it was probably when Yun Jiao came to him with a poem she had written to ask for help, that he casually said to Sisi, who had just brought over some pastries,

"It would be great if Sisi could be as smart as you. Unfortunately, she is a little dull when it comes to poetry and songs."

But think about it carefully, is it really several times? He seemed to say the same words to Sisi in different scenes and at different times.

Yun Fang could not answer. Sisi's casual words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his chest, and Liu Shulan's questioning was like a hammer, hammering the sharp knife inward.

Yun Nian didn't know what she had said wrong again. Bringing a few books... shouldn't be a heinous crime. She just suddenly felt that learning more was not a bad thing.

"Don't just stand there, eat quickly, try this."

Yun Shuo lowered his voice, picked up her favorite four-happiness meatballs with his long chopsticks and put them into her bowl.

"Thank you, brother."

Yun Nian also thanked him quietly, but she avoided the round meatball and stared at the green side dish in front of her, finishing her meal bite by bite.

Looking at the last meatball left in the bowl, Yun Shuo's pupils were dim. He put on a bitter smile and recalled the time when Sisi and he fought over a meatball.

After leaving early in the morning, it is not appropriate to speak rudely at lunch. Yun Nian stayed quietly aside after finishing her meal. It was Liu Shulan who spoke while holding back her tears.

"Nothing, go and have a rest, there's no need to sit here with us."

"Yes."

Yun Nian nodded and stood up. Her brows furrowed slightly and she looked a little hesitant.

"what happened?"

The Prime Minister thought she wanted to stay, so he asked,

But she spoke irrelevant words.

"Father, we'd better have that crabapple tree removed as soon as possible. It's disgusting to look at."
