My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 285 - 119: He’s Probably Involved

He left the room, found his confidant, and set things in motion, instructing them to thoroughly investigate the causes and effects of the matter.

Yao’er was always discreet when going out; a simple carriage, not even a maid beside her, and even the guard followed from the shadows.

By normal standards, she was not someone who would easily be targeted.

Unless someone deliberately aimed for her with a clear intent.

First, Xiao Si was stolen, then Yao’er encountered an accident and fell into a coma. Who exactly extended their hand over the Yun Family’s head?

Yun Zheng’s face turned somber, his eyes clouded with an impending storm.

In the night, Lady Yun, without taking off her clothes, stayed vigil by Yun Wanyao’s side.

Suddenly, a young maid ran in hurriedly.

"Madam, the Fourth Miss has woken up and is now crying uncontrollably. The Duke asked me to invite you over."

Lady Yun was momentarily taken aback, only then remembering that Yun Wanqing had slept since nightfall and hadn’t nursed since then.

"Alright, I’ll go right away."

She quickly got up and looked over at Hua Wu and the young maid to give instructions.

"Xiao Tao, you stay here as well, take care of Yao’er with Hua Wu. Remember, Yao’er must not be left alone. Report to me immediately if anything happens, understood?"

"Yes, Madam, rest assured, we will take good care of Miss."

"Good."

Lady Yun nodded satisfactorily and turned to walk outside.

Wan’an Garden.

After waking up from hunger, Yun Wanqing found the room silent, with only a young maid beside her.

[Where’s Mother? Where did Mother go? Why isn’t she in the room in the middle of the night?]

[So hungry, Mother, where did you go? Did you forget I need to breastfeed at night?]

[I’ll wait for a moment. If Mother hasn’t returned in five minutes, I’ll cry, and cry hard. Besides, if Sister Xiao Tao can’t soothe me, she’ll definitely go find Mother.]

Five minutes later...

The room still held only her and Xiao Tao, and Lady Yun had yet to return.

Yun Wanqing’s small mouth curved down slightly, and she unhesitatingly raised her voice and started wailing.

"Waaawuu..."

[It’s been five minutes, yet Mother still hasn’t come back. I’m certain now, Mother has surely forgotten me.]

[No other way, I can only use my ultimate move.]

[Cry till heaven and earth are shaken, yes, children who cry get milk. I want milk, I will cry.]

[No one stop me, I must cry until Mother comes back.]

Her cries woke the young maid who had fallen asleep by the bedside, and seeing the little one kicking her legs and crying, the young maid immediately woke up from her stupor and held her to soothe her.

"Miss, don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m here with you..."

No matter how she tried to soothe, Yun Wanqing continued to cry incessantly.

[Oh Sister Xiao Tao, please go and call Mother, why try to soothe me? I want milk, you have none, soothing won’t help.]

[Once I see Mother, I won’t cry anymore.]

[By the way, I’m crying so loud, can Mother not hear me? Where exactly did Mother go?]

Just as Xiao Tao was at a loss, Yun Zheng stepped inside with steady strides.

"Give me the Fourth Miss."

Xiao Tao nervously handed Yun Wanqing over, and Yun Wanqing immediately grabbed Yun Zheng’s clothes, looking tearfully at him with reddened eyes.

[Father, you’re here. Where’s Mother?]

[Where did Mother go? I’m starving.]

[Looking at Father’s attire and demeanor, it doesn’t seem like he’s sneaking around being affectionate with Mother, so where did she go?]

Hearing her thoughts, Yun Zheng’s gaze stirred, understanding that she was hungry and trying to cry and attract the Lady.

"Xiao Tao, go and call back the Lady and tell her the Fourth Miss is hungry."

"Yes, Duke."

Xiao Tao retreated with cautious steps.

Yun Wanqing curled her lips into a smile, looking joyfully at Yun Zheng.

[Wow, indeed, Father understands me. He knows I’m hungry and immediately asked someone to call Mother. Mother should come back now, right?]

"Xiao Si, your sister had a little accident, and your mother was quite frightened, so she’s gone to accompany your sister. But don’t worry, she’ll be back to be with you soon."

Yun Zheng held her and sat by the bed, patiently explaining why Lady Yun was not with her.

Upon hearing his words, Yun Wanqing’s eyes grew wide, reflecting worry and confusion.

[What? Sister had an accident?]

[What happened? What kind of accident happened to Sister?]
