Chapter 193 The teacher never taught this
"Buyu, I wish I had met you sooner. I would never have let you be bullied by those people."
"Haha~ If it were even earlier, it could have been ten years earlier! Yan Yan, things are pretty good as they are now. On the surface, I run a milk tea shop, but behind the scenes, I work for Xuan Yuan and earn double the salary. Plus, you're here to play with me. Isn't that great!"
"That……"
She suddenly remembered her promise to Zhao Yao tonight, and changed the subject meaningfully, saying, "What about Zhao Yao? Bu Yu, you actually still care about Zhao Yao, that's why you saved him two years ago?"
"Uh... how did this get back to Zhao Yao?"
Seeing her gaze fixed on her, Hua Buyu sighed helplessly, "I always repay kindness and grudges. Zhao Yao has been kind to me. He has been all alone all these years. If Yun Kuang hadn't tried to kill him two years ago, I definitely wouldn't have shown up. Who knew I would get entangled with this kid? I've explained the whole story. Yan Yan, don't you also think Zhao Yao's thoughts are immoral?"
Xin Moyan licked her lips, suddenly unsure of what to say. "This... this... the teacher didn't teach us that, but... you're not exactly... a flamboyant royal aunt, are you?"
"Of course not! But they are uncle and nephew. I am a person of high moral character and talent, a person of great virtue and prestige. How could I do such a morally reprehensible thing?"
"Well... let's put aside their relationship for now and just look at Zhao Yao as a person. What do you think of him?"
Her eyes flickered a few times, and even though it was subtle, Xin Moyan cleverly caught it.
Hua Buyu immediately shouted, "Yan Yan, he's just a little kid who doesn't understand anything. I would never consider him."
"Did I just ask you what you think of being ostentatious?"
"I have no idea! Even if Yun Zhaoyao and Yun Kuang have no relation whatsoever, I won't consider him."
"why?"
"Yan Yan, think about it. I was twenty-four years old in the modern world, and I've lived here for ten years, which is equivalent to thirty-four. Look at Zhao Yao, he's only seventeen. I could be his mother. Besides, I've watched that kid grow up. How could I possibly like someone who could be my son?"
Xin Moyan stared straight into her eyes, then shook her head. "No! Buyu, you said before that you wanted to raise a little boy, but that's definitely not your final reason."
"What I said before was just empty talk. How could I possibly bully a minor?"
She continued to scrutinize Hua Buyu relentlessly, "Buyu, since you've told me everything, what's the difference?"
Her brow furrowed slightly, her expression turning serious. "Yan Yan, Zhao Yao is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, and he's the future emperor of Qi Yun Kingdom. I was once with his royal uncle, and I can't accept him, nor can I accept this kind of relationship. Besides, my past is rotten to the core, and I'm not good enough for him. He's just after a moment of novelty; given time, he'll naturally forget me. Moreover..."
She looked up at the outside of the bed, her eyes glistening with a hint of light. "Besides, didn't he see it back then? Yan Yan, that innocent little shrew shouldn't be tainted by me."
Upon hearing the last sentence, she realized that Buyu's resistance stemmed from their uncle-nephew relationship, and that she could never let go of what Zhaoyao had witnessed back then.
"But……"
"Alright! Let's not talk about him anymore. I've already explained what happened back then to you. And for the next six years, I fought alongside Xuan Yuan. You can ask him the same thing. But don't be fooled by him. He's always trying to smear me."
Hua Buyu quickly changed the subject, clearly not wanting to bring it up again.
Seeing this, Xin Moyan decided not to pry further and let them clear things up face to face. After all, she hadn't considered that the silent and flamboyant royal uncle had a past; this ethical issue was a bit too much...
"By the way, Yan Yan, why did Xuan Yuan take you home tonight? Where's Xin Moling? Does he trust Xuan Yuan with you?"
"I don't know where my brother went. He must have had something urgent to do!"
At this point, she remembered what happened at the palace that evening and quickly shared it with Hua Buyu…
"What did you say? Those vile women actually dared to frame you for adultery? And even plot against the imperial heir!"
Hua Buyu sat up abruptly in bed, rolled up her sleeves, and cursed, "These damn bitches dared to bully you while I was away. If I had gone tonight, I would have definitely killed them. What about your brother? Why didn't Xin Moling stand up for you?"
"My brother wasn't there at the time!"
"Hmph! He's not here when it matters most. When he comes back, I'll give him a piece of my mind."
"By the way, what's with that Prince Lie? He's already married, yet he's still trying to seduce you?"
She shrugged, her expression somewhat helpless. "I don't know what he's thinking. Anyway, I've made it clear to him that I'll try to avoid contact with him in the future!"
"And what about Xuan Yuan? You've been bullied like this, and he's still doing nothing? He just steps in to give false testimony and then doesn't teach them a lesson?"
"..."
Xin Moyan was speechless. "Tonight he took the blame for our secret rendezvous and even confronted Consort Ning, causing her to be confined by His Majesty. This is beyond everyone's imagination! Besides, he and His Majesty are brothers. It wouldn't be good to make things too ugly!"
"Tch! Let me tell you, Yan Yan, if this were any ordinary person, he would definitely make sure that person is childless and infertile just for Yuan Huailie hugging you. And that bitch framed you, damn it, if I were there, I would have slapped her a few times and seen if she dared to do it again!"
Xin Moyan was amused by her expression and laughed, "Hehe~ Actually, I'm fine. Even if he doesn't stand up for me, at most my reputation will be a little worse, but my aunt won't let me suffer!"
"Are you still going to the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow?"
"Okay." When she got out of the car, Xuan Yuan repeatedly told her that he would come to the General's Mansion to pick her up early the next morning so they could go together. Was this a formal announcement?
But... if my brother finds out, won't he be very angry?
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow. You only get bullied by those bastards because you don't have anyone to protect you."
"Okay, I was thinking of asking you to come along too. It's getting late, let's go to bed early!"
She didn't mention that Xuan Yuan was coming to the General's Mansion tomorrow. If she was with Buyu, it wouldn't count as being alone with Xuan Yuan, so her brother shouldn't be too angry.
"Yan Yan, this soft and fragrant bed is still the most comfortable. You don't know, the Xuanwang Mansion has nothing..."
As soon as the two lay down, a question suddenly popped into Xin Moyan's mind. She turned to look at her, her face full of hesitation.
"What's the matter?"
"Well... you were living with that regent for a year, and... you didn't..."
