When Yun Shengsheng came out of the secret room, she found that her fourth sister was missing.

Wu Xia said, "Miss Yun is feeling unwell and has probably gone to the outhouse."

Yun Shengsheng's lips twitched, and she asked the system directly, "My fourth sister really went to the outhouse? I don't believe it!"

The little fritter pointed in a direction: "No, she went to steal, but she stole a handsome man, he's over there!"

"Oh dear, your fourth sister is completely smitten with this handsome man!"

Yun Shengsheng exclaimed in surprise: "What happened? Tell me in detail!"

So Yun Shengsheng searched for Yun Qiaoqiao while listening to gossip.

Her eyes grew brighter as she listened.

Her fourth sister is incredibly lucky; she managed to meet such a gem!

The man's name was Wenrenjue.

The only son of a prominent family in the Yelang Kingdom.

The Wen family was a distinguished family of scholars in Yelang Kingdom for over a hundred years, with generations of them being upright and honest intellectuals.

The family genealogy was flipped through from beginning to end, but not a single corrupt official or纨绔 (spoiled brat) could be found.

All of them were handsome and elegant, and each was highly learned, making them the pinnacle of the civil service in the Yelang Kingdom.

In this generation, the most outstanding one is Wenren Jue.

He could read at the age of three, write poetry at the age of five, write policy essays at the age of eight, and became the top scholar in the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. He was a true child prodigy.

When someone is a genius to this extent, it's hard not to offend people.

Moreover, the Wen family has a tradition of not taking concubines. After the death of the principal wife, the wife must observe three years of mourning before she can remarry.

Therefore, the Wen family had few descendants, and by the time of Wenren Jue, he was the only son.

Those who had offended him had wanted to get back at him for quite some time, and Princess Ji Mingyao had also taken a liking to him.

Ji Mingyao is thirty-eight years old this year, a full twenty years older than him.

In order to obtain Wenren Jue, she broke his arm and collaborated with others to plot against the Wenren family step by step, ultimately framing them with a fabricated crime and executing their entire family.

Wenren Jue himself was replaced by a death row inmate by her. He was nominally dead, but in reality, he was secretly imprisoned in the princess's mansion and became her plaything.

Ji Mingyao gave him a bunch of gifts tonight and took him shopping all day. In the evening, she wanted to get "closer" to him.

As a result, Wenren Jue coldly laughed and cursed, "A toad trying to eat swan meat."

The princess broke down on the spot and summoned two old women to "serve" him, just as Yun Qiaoqiao had witnessed.

Then Yun Qiaoqiao appeared, interrupting the old women's "serving" and ransacking the room. She's currently inside arguing with the people there.

Yun Shengsheng thought to herself: [Saving Wenren Jue is absolutely worthwhile.]

He's no ordinary genius. He's almost supernaturally intelligent.

In the original book, he was imprisoned by the eldest princess for several years. Later, he endured humiliation and, with the princess's influence, returned to the court, stirring up a bloody storm in the entire Yelang Kingdom's court. In the end, he not only killed the eldest princess but also the emperor at the time.

[He even installed a young prince as a puppet emperor, while he himself became regent, wielding immense power.]

But he wasn't power-hungry; he was seeking revenge. He felt that the Wen family had devoted generations to the Yelang Kingdom, only to be wiped out in return.

He hated the entire royal family of Yelang, to the core. He had no loyalty whatsoever to Yelang.

Yun Shengsheng was secretly delighted: [Since the Yelang Kingdom doesn't deserve the Wenren family, then I'll take them and bring them back to the Great Xuan Kingdom!]

With his talent, he could easily become a prime minister or chief minister. If Brother Shi Jin wants to unify the world in the future, he will be an incredibly powerful and unreasonable helper.

Besides, how could such a beautiful woman be ruined by that old hag? It's better for her to be my fourth sister's husband than for her to do that to her.

Fourth Sister wants to be a female general, and marry a top scholar—a match made in heaven…

Wenren Jue looked at Yun Shengsheng and Wu Xia, then at the girl who was hugging him, his heart filled with complex emotions.

"Since you have companions and your sister with you, don't worry about me."

"I'm afraid you'll have trouble going out on your own, so bringing me along would be too much of a burden."

He was serious this time, without the previous scheming.

He realized that Yun Qiaoqiao was very kind, and at that moment, he didn't want to burden others with his own problems.

Think about your parents and relatives; weren't they dragged down and killed by him?

If he tries to survive by dragging innocent people into this mess, then he truly deserves to die.

Yun Qiaoqiao's brows furrowed into a knot.

She glanced at Wenren Jue in her arms, then at Yun Shengsheng at the door, and her lips moved slightly.

Reason told her that it was very dangerous to bring Wenren Jue along.

But she just couldn't let go.

She had just witnessed the man being tortured underwater, suffering terribly, and she couldn't bear to see him like that.

She couldn't bring herself to throw him back to that old hag.

In the instant she hesitated, Yun Shengsheng had already run over and grabbed Wenren Jue's sleeve.

Wenren Jue was startled when she pulled him, and looked down at the little girl who only reached his waist.

Yun Shengsheng tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, and said firmly, "It's okay! Brother, we can get out of here, don't worry."

"Since my sister took your things, we have to get you out of here. We're all people of principle."

A person of principle.

When Wenren Jue heard these four words, the corner of his mouth twitched very slightly.

He lived for eighteen years and was praised for his intelligence, talent, appearance, family background, and principles.

But those who praised him are all dead, and the people who imprisoned him here hate him most for being too principled.

His heart softened, and he said to Yun Shengsheng, "Little sister, you really don't need to worry about me. You and your sister should leave quickly!"

"This mansion is full of bad people; they eat children."

Yun Shengsheng's lips twitched.

"Hehe, brother, my flesh is poisonous, they won't eat me!"

Hearing her younger sister's words, Yun Qiaoqiao felt at ease.

She knew that if her younger sister said she could save him, then she really could.

Without a word, she hoisted Wenren Jue onto her back, her tone fierce but her movements as gentle as if afraid of breaking something: "Come with us, there's no need for so much nonsense. Rather than wasting time here, let's wait until we get out of here."

Yun Shengsheng immediately raised her hand and gave the order: "Fourth Sister, you take the person out first, and I'll take another look to see if there's anything we can take."

"These might be what my brother uses for protection in the future!"

Yun Qiaoqiao nodded, carried Wenren Jue out the door, and pulled Wu Xia, who was standing at the door, out with her as she left...
