Chapter 326: Chapter 133: Why Would Elder Brother Go Out of His Way to See Ah Yao? (Part 2)

"It seems, although you and the prince have yet to marry, the elder brother already considers you family."

Yun Wanyao: "..."

At this moment, she didn’t know what kind of expression she should make or what to say.

After thinking for a while, she smiled lightly and said, "I was indeed surprised and flattered that the Emperor would come to visit me."

"My health is inconvenient, and I cannot thank the Emperor in person. I must trouble the Princess to thank him on my behalf."

"Yes, I will, don’t worry, Ah Yao~"

Mo Zhaozhao patted her chest and agreed.

The evening sun slanted westward.

A group of people left the Yun Family, with Yun Zheng, Lady Yun, Yun Zhan, and Yun Wanchen personally seeing them off. Several carriages quickly disappeared from sight.

In the carriage.

Mo Yuanlin stared directly at Mo Zhaozhao, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Mo Zhaozhao realized he had something to say but, having waited a long time and still not hearing him speak, became a bit impatient and spoke up.

"Oh, elder brother, what is it you want to say? Just speak plainly; why do you keep staring at me like that? It’s unsettling."

As she said the final words, her voice softened significantly, tinged with a bit of complaint.

"Then I shall speak plainly."

Mo Yuanlin coughed once, and upon hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally. What was so unspeakable that made her elder brother act this way?

"I actually just wanted to ask if you remember what I entrusted to you, Imperial Sister?"

Entrustments?

What matter?

Upon hearing this suddenly, Mo Zhaozhao was momentarily unresponsive, but the next instant she recalled.

What her elder brother had entrusted her with, besides asking her to greet Ah Yao on his behalf, what else could there be?

"Oh, I was wondering what it was. So it was just this matter, and it’s worth having my elder brother stare at me for so long?"

Mo Yuanlin: "..."

He swallowed, his gaze carrying a hint of awkwardness, and said with a dark expression, "Let’s get serious."

"Oh," Mo Zhaozhao responded, saying, "Rest assured, elder brother, I have told Ah Yao everything about your visit to her and your request for me to greet her on your behalf due to the inconvenience."

"And, did Miss Yun say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao was briefly stunned, subconsciously feeling he was somewhat abnormal, yet she did not overthink it and stated the facts to him.

"Ah Yao said she was surprised and flattered that the elder brother would visit her. She also mentioned that her health prevents her from thanking the Emperor in person and asked me to convey her thanks to you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanlin clenched his fists, his gaze growing darker.

Hah, it’s inconvenient to thank now, but certainly, there will be a convenient day, yet she asks someone to thank on her behalf, what kind of logic is that?

In essence, it’s perfunctory and insincere.

"Hey, elder brother, I haven’t asked you yet. Why did you specifically take time to see Ah Yao? Don’t you usually not like leaving the palace?"

"Moreover, you are the ruler of a nation, and Ah Yao is a subject. Why do I feel it’s somewhat unreasonable for you to visit her?"

When her elder brother came to her residence today, saying he wanted to visit Yun Wanyao together, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

But now, upon reflection, her mind took a turn somewhere, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Mo Zhaozhao stroked her chin, looking at Mo Yuanlin with suspicion, completely oblivious to his dark expression.

"I have business with the Young Master Yun. It so happens that Miss Yun was injured, so I went to visit. This way, I gain a reputation for being considerate to my subjects, and the entire Duke Ning Mansion is grateful. What’s so unreasonable about that?"

Mo Yuanlin kept his face sullen, glancing at Mo Zhaozhao.

Mo Zhaozhao: "..."

"No way, when you came to find me, elder brother, you didn’t say that. You clearly said you heard Ah Yao was injured and called me to visit her with you."

"I had matters with the Young Master Yun, naturally requiring a pretext, this is called covering one’s tracks. Have you ever seen any important figure with a mission publicize it widely?"

Mo Zhaozhao: "..."

Her elder brother’s words sounded reasonable, but she still felt something was off. If he couldn’t tell her the purpose of the trip, then why say it now?

Could it be because the task is completed now, so no cover is needed? So he can say it?

Mo Zhaozhao’s expression changed rapidly, becoming more and more colorful. After a moment, she bit her lip, glaring at Mo Yuanlin with anger.

"So it’s like this. I thought you were genuinely concerned about Ah Yao, but unexpectedly, you were using her."

"Using her as a cover for your real motives, gaining a reputation of being benevolent to your subjects, and using her to make the Yun Family feel gratitude towards you."
