My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

So, within two days, all the people in the capital knew that the most noble Princess Hua Yang of Da Wu Country had broken off her engagement with the prospective Prince Consort, Lu Huaixin, just before their wedding.

The common people did not know the detailed reasons for this, so they could only speculate wildly, and there were all kinds of rumors.

Mo Zhaozhao did not want her reputation to be tarnished, so she secretly leaked Lu Huaixin’s matters.

Then, everyone knew about Lu Huaixin’s affair, being caught by the princess, and his resulting impotence.

However, people didn’t know that it was the princess who forcibly fed him the medicine that caused his impotence.

The two most widespread rumors about his impotence circulating in the streets were:

One was that he was so scared after being caught by the princess, and the other was that it was ordered by the princess, and he was accidentally injured by a guard’s beating.

Under these two theories, Lu Huaixin became the laughingstock during people’s idle chats.

Being rendered impotent due to an affair, with the protagonists being the current princess and the Young Master of Changle Marquis Mansion, undeniably made for a very sensational joke.

This scandal became so widespread that the Yun Family naturally knew about it.

Except for Yun Wanye and Yun Wanyao who were overjoyed, the others had their own thoughts.

Seeing the simple-minded boy almost bursting with happiness, Yun Zheng frowned, contemplating when to pledge his loyalty to the Emperor and, incidentally, return military power early to live as a carefree Duke.

Having reached his current position, he was already at the pinnacle of ministerial ranks, and it was time for him to retire after his achievements.

If he didn’t retreat now, his accomplishments would overshadow the ruler, leaving the Emperor with no more titles to bestow, surely leading to trouble sooner or later.

He had planned to surrender the military power at the beginning of the year, but the Emperor firmly disagreed, seriously stating that there were still tasks for him to do, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

But now, for the happiness of this simple-minded boy and to give the Emperor peace of mind on the throne, he had to see the Emperor again.

While he was frowning and pondering, Yun Wanqing was not idle, her eyes on Yun Wanye, silently muttering.

[Oh dear Second Brother, look at your happy face, you’re almost beaming.]

[I know you like the princess, and I know you’re happy after she broke the engagement, but can you tone it down a bit?]

[Elder Sister is the fiancée of King Qi, and Father still holds military power, are you conspiring with the princess in fear that the Emperor doesn’t suspect our family?]

[Alas, Second Brother cannot be controlled, Father and Mother simply cannot restrain him. Since he schemed to ruin Lu Huaixin and the princess’s marriage, he surely won’t miss this great opportunity.]

[And Father and Mother are not the kind of people who break up lovebirds.]

[Forget it, forget it, let it be, Father must be very smart to have reached this position.]

[Whatever I can think of, Father surely can think of too.]

[Let’s just see if Father chooses to sever ties with Second Brother or hand over military power, to peacefully become a carefree Duke...]

[Or if the whole family will wait to be suspected by the Emperor, who will strike first.]

Yun Wanye: "..."

He immediately looked at Yun Zheng, feeling nervous.

If he really sought to marry the princess, would Father truly sever ties with him?

Couldn’t there be a fourth possibility in this matter?

For example, he could make some more moves to disrupt Yun Wanyao and Mo Yuanhao’s marriage, finding a way to send Yun Wanyao into the Imperial Palace to become Empress?

Hmm...

Send Yun Wanyao to the palace to become the Empress?

Yun Wanye was startled by the sudden idea in his head and instinctively turned to look at Yun Wanyao.

Yun Wanyao was exceptionally beautiful and well-bred, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yun Family.

Though she was a bit unruly at home, outside she was well-versed in etiquette, striking the perfect balance in every aspect, making her eminently suitable to be an Empress.

Hmm, this idea seems workable.

The only issue is, the Emperor at his age, without a single woman by his side, might really have health issues.

But if he did have a woman, she wouldn’t match Yun Wanyao.

No, he needs to find an opportunity to test the Emperor.

If the Emperor is capable, it means he maintains his purity and has strong self-restraint, if he’s really not capable, then so be it.

Although he wasn’t a good person, he hadn’t lost his mind enough to pair Yun Wanyao with a useless person just for his own happiness.

And Yun Wanyao, completely unaware that her own twin brother was scheming against her, merely felt his gaze was slightly sinister.
