My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate! Chapter 146 - 68: Mom, Do I Look Like a Thief?3

"Madam, indeed that Miss Yin is fad throughout Haojing and has countless suitors, but that doesn’t an every man has to be enamored with her."

"If she truly possessed such charm, the late Emperor would have taken her into the palace years ago. How could she have been demoted to a camp courtesan?"

"If I were enamored with her, would I have co to find you with a hatchet back then?"

"If I were enamored with her, how could she have been monopolized by that old fool Zhang Ji?"

"True, I did spend a long ti in Zhang Ji’s camp and saw Miss Yin there a few tis, but I didn’t pay her any attention. Besides training and battling enemies, whenever I had free ti, I was always looking for you."

"Do you not rember how I used to sneak out of the camp late at night, climbing through your window?"

"Once, I was even caught by your father and mother, nearly beaten to death as a thief of virtue..."

ntioning the past, Yun Zheng’s eyes filled with a faint nostalgia. His wife, during her youth, was truly delicate and soft, blushing at a word, exceptionally adorable, making him wish he could be by her side every day.

Of course, while his wife had matured greatly now, shedding the greenness and shyness of her youth, in his eyes, she remained enchanting.

"Really? You truly weren’t enamored with her?"

"I truly wasn’t, Madam. I will treat you well for a lifeti, so don’t feel so insecure."

Lady Yun nodded. At this mont, she believed him, but the issue with Princess Jing left her feeling unprecedentedly uneasy.

"Husband, should you fancy another woman in the future, I hope you won’t hide it from . Whether you want to step down or whatever, please be honest with ."

"After a decade as husband and wife, I don’t wish to be deceived by the one I trust most like Princess Jing was."

Seeing her like this, Yun Zheng couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. He gently caressed her face, "Madam, while many n in this world may be fickle, there are a few who are truly faithful."

"I’m not saying this to prove how good I am, it’s just that I genuinely want to spend my life with you."

"No one knows what the future holds, but please rember, my heart will always love you."

Comforted by these words, Lady Yun’s unease eased a bit, though she still couldn’t lift her spirits, remaining silent in his embrace.

Yun Zheng, with his keen senses, quickly understood that the matter with the Princess had impacted her too deeply, and it might take so ti for her to recover.

So, he took the initiative to find a topic to divert her attention.

"Madam, do you know what our Chen’er was up to last night?"

Indeed, Lady Yun’s attention was imdiately diverted. She looked up, her expression weary and concern unconcealed in her eyes.

"What’s the matter? What did Chen’er do?"

"Well," Yun Zheng put on a stern face, pretending to be angry, "he sneaked into the Su Jian household’s side courtyard in the middle of the night and stole away that concubine-born daughter. She’s now hidden in his courtyard."

"How could this happen? How could Chen’er do such a thing? If Su Jian were to find out, what would happen?"

Lady Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Her Chen’er, always self-disciplined and respectful of etiquette, how could he do sothing so outrageous?

"Madam may not know, but ever since that concubine-born daughter of the Su family sneaked a peek at Chen’er during Xiao Si’s full moon celebration and got caught, Chen’er has had people secretly keeping an eye on her."

"Seeing how emaciated the young girl was, he had soone send her food every day for so ti."

"In just over twenty days, the girl’s appearance improved significantly, but unfortunately, that shrew of the Su family suddenly went to the side courtyard, saw the girl’s changes, and accused her of stealing food, beating her severely."

"That shrew is truly vicious, beating the girl so badly, she suffered severe injuries. The people secretly sent to monitor reported back to Chen’er, and he and Cang Yan went to fetch the girl out..."

Yun Zheng recounted the event in detail to Lady Yun, who listened with furrowed brows.

"That Madam Su is indeed too cruel. Even if she normally disregards a little girl, how can she be so harsh?"

"Chen’er bringing her ho in the middle of the night must an he has feelings for the young girl. When I showed him the roster of noble daughters of the capital before, I noticed his attitude towards that girl was sowhat odd."

Yun Zheng’s brows twitched, and he asked, "What do you think, Madam? If you’re opposed, I’ll have soone send the girl back."
