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

"But the one who married Ning Sinian and became the Crown Prince of Jinyang was not me, but Yun Jiao. Why is she still holding on to me?"

Yun Nian really didn't understand. Rong Yang liked Ning Si Nian, so it was understandable that he had been so confrontational towards his fiancée.

But shouldn’t she be targeting Yun Jiao more now?

Huo Daiyu snorted coldly and crossed his arms.

"Who knows what's in her head? Ning Sinian is in prison, but she still insists that the Regent has misunderstood. She keeps pestering her father, the Shangshu, to ask him to plead for mercy, but she doesn't even want to see if the Regent will listen."

Shen Ningsi took over the conversation.

"The most important thing is that Yun Jiao is in a coma. This is not difficult to find out. Her target will naturally change."

Then the only person Ning Sinian openly liked was Yun Nian. Rong Yang couldn't find anyone else, so naturally all his military force was directed towards Yun Nian.

"It's really... frustrating."

Yun Nian could only shake his head. Being entangled by such a person, he could only consider himself unlucky.

"But what did she do to make you so serious?"

If it was just some ordinary sarcastic remark, Shen Ningsi would not be so nervous.

"Since you haven't shown up, Luochuan City has a lot of speculations about you. Saying that you ran away from your marriage is already a mild one."

Huo Daiyu frowned, as if he couldn't understand.

"The rumor now has spread that you were rejected by Ning Sinian, so you murdered Yun Jiao and made her unconscious, waiting for Ning Sinian to come out and divorce her to take over."

"..."

Hearing these words, Yun Nian was a little speechless for a moment. She blinked her big eyes and looked at her friends as if to verify.

"Really?"

"real."

Shen Ningsi held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache. The key point was that this rumor was only spread among the noble ladies in a small circle. When people went to question her, she said that she just heard it from somewhere else.

"This is not good for your reputation. It seems that your family members don't know about it yet. If the rumors spread further, it will be bad."

People often say that "rumors can confuse the public", but "rumors" can also "confuse the public". Rumors that seem true and false are more likely to make people believe them than those outrageous "rumors".

"So, why did you come here? The guards outside seem to have surrounded this courtyard tightly. It seems that they are not only protecting you, but also preventing anyone from leaving."

Her two best friends were looking at her worriedly, but Yun Nian didn't know whether to tell them what had happened to her recently.

Whether it was Fuqiu entering the territory of Da'an, Wei Qingjue and her discovering the mummy cave, or Yun Shuo trying to imprison her, each of these events was shocking enough.

It is better for her to keep the secret to herself. If her friends knew too much, it might bring danger to them.

Yun Nian made up her mind. She couldn't tell anyone about Fuqiu and Wei Qingjue, but it would be hard to hide her brother's affairs from her friends who knew her so well.

"My brother seems to have some special feelings towards me."

It was inevitable that she felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when she said this. Yun Nian bit her lips gently, but she did not see any surprised or shocked expression on her friend's face.

"So he locked you up here? And he won't let us see you?"

They were not surprised, but just asked softly, which made Yun Nian's embarrassment fade away a lot.

"That's right. He also didn't let me see you. He knew that after you came, he would have no chance of keeping me locked up anymore."

"He knows what's going on."

Huo Daiyu showed a disdainful expression, still a little angry,

"If I like you, I should make you happy. What kind of man would I be if I locked you up? It's really despicable. If those women who admire him knew about this, I wonder how disappointed they would be."

But Yun Shuo was Sisi's brother after all. Shen Ningsi signaled her with her eyes to hold back and not be so sharp in her words.

"What about your family?"

Shen Ningsi pointed out the most crucial point. Yun Shuo's own strength should not be enough to fight against the Prime Minister. If Yun Fang knew that he had such an unethical intention, he should have locked up his legitimate son immediately.

Yun Nian's eyes dimmed, and his tone became somewhat cold.

“They acquiesced.”

She didn't want to say more. Compared to her brother's thoughts, what was most difficult for her to accept was her parents' indulgence, as if she was not their daughter but Yun Shuo's vassal.

Hearing this, Shen Ningsi refuted it with an assertion,

"Impossible, Sisi, the Prime Minister is not that kind of person. Even if they can ignore the criticism of the world, it does not mean that they can ignore your thoughts. I think you and the Prime Minister have been deceived by Yun Shuo."

But how is this possible? Yun Nian shook her head. She didn't believe that Yun Fang and Liu Shulan would consider her own ideas. She seemed to have lowered herself to the dust.

"There's no point in saying more. Now that we're here, Yun Shuo naturally can't keep you locked up any longer."

Shen Ningsi stood up, took Yun Nian's hand, and asked her to stand up as well.

Yun Nian followed behind her and watched her friend kick the stool away and open the door. In the yard, Yun Shuo turned around and looked over. His expression immediately changed.

"Sisi?"

He immediately took a few steps forward, but was stopped in place by the bow that Huo Daiyu casually pulled.

"Mr. Yun, just stand there and don't move. My bow and arrow are not very accurate. It would be bad if I accidentally hurt you."

He had a gloomy look on his face, looking at his sister.

"Sisi, do you want to go with them?"

But Yunnian just shook his head.

"Brother, it's not that I want to go with them, but you can't try to lock me up again. You know that no one in your house can beat Dai Yu."

When she said this, a smile appeared in her eyes.

Then he quickly became indifferent.

"I won't leave here for now, but I won't allow you to get close to me anymore. If you don't agree, then I will leave with them."

Although she could enter the homes of her two friends at will, Yun Nian was unwilling to trouble them.

Confronted in silence, Yun Shuo knew that what Yun Nian said was right. He was not sure that he could take Sisi away from Huo Daiyu safely. Similarly, he was not sure that Shen Ningsi would not find his weakness.

He sighed helplessly and took a step back.

"You win, Sisi. As long as you are still in my sight, you can do anything."

The fact that he gave in so easily made Yun Nian somewhat suspicious.
