Chapter 208 Misleading
Wang Wanshu hurriedly returned to the mansion and searched everywhere for Qiaobi.
I finally found her busy in a corner of the garden.
Wang Wanshu grabbed Qiaobi and asked urgently, "Qiaobi, tell me quickly, what is my past with Yu Wan?"
Qiaobi's heart sank when she saw the blank look on Wang Wanshu's face.
Princess went to Fei Bao Lou this time because she accepted Miss Yu's invitation. Why would she come back and ask her who Miss Yu is?
Why does the princess seem to have forgotten about Miss Yu?
Qiaobi was filled with shock and confusion.
Suppressing her shock, she carefully asked, "Does the princess remember anything?"
Wang Wanshu frowned and shook her head, "I don't know her at all."
Upon hearing this, Qiaobi's heart sank again, and she had a strange premonition.
She couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the princess who had chased after Young Master Yun like a madwoman.
No, she absolutely cannot let the princess become like that again!
The princess is going to see Miss Yu today, and Miss Yu must know what's going on with the princess.
Qiaobi lowered her eyes and said to Wang Wanshu, "The princess and Yu Wan... have a very close relationship and a very good relationship."
So, does that mean the princess won't try to steal Miss Yu's husband anymore?
She thought to herself that she was incredibly clever.
When Wang Wanshu heard this, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
Yu Wan, she didn't lie to her!
The relationship between the two of them is truly extraordinary!
……
Back at the Duke of Anguo's residence, Yu Wan was unaware of the immense shock her words had caused Wang Wanshu.
She discussed returning to the Yun Mansion with the Duchess of Anguo.
Lady Anguo did not agree to let her move out, but agreed to let Yunshang stay at the Duke of Anguo's mansion for a while.
She said, "After all these years, it took me so long to find you, but you got married so early. How could I bear to part with you?"
“Yun Shang’s mother and sister haven’t arrived in the capital yet, have they? It’s too lonely for you two to live in such a big house. Why don’t you stay at the Duke of Anguo’s mansion for a while, and then move back when Yun Shang’s mother and sister arrive in Shengjing?”
Yu Wan felt that it didn't matter where she lived.
“Mother, what you said makes sense. I’ll go ask Yun Shang what he thinks. If he agrees, we’ll stay at the Duke of Anguo’s mansion for now.”
Lady Anguo took her hand, "There's no need for you to make a special trip. Just have a servant do it."
“If he doesn’t want to come, you’re not allowed to leave.”
Yu Wan did not agree immediately.
She has to stay by Yun Shang's side to make her presence felt, in order to reduce the impact of the 'plot line' on him.
Otherwise, who knows when Yun Shang might suddenly come and choke her in the middle of the night, and who would she complain to?
After Yu Wan spoke with the Duchess of Anguo in the front hall, a servant came to announce that a servant from the Prince Chen's residence wished to see the eldest young lady.
Yu Wan asked who it was.
The servant said respectfully, "The person who came is a maid. She said her name is Qiaobi and begs the young lady to see her."
Qiaobi? Wang Wanshu's personal maid.
Yu Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said to the Duchess of Anguo, "Mother, I know her."
Lady Anguo smiled and said, "Since she is a maid I know, let's meet her. After all, she is a person from the Prince Chen's mansion, and we cannot neglect her."
No matter how many times the Duchess of Anguo had done so, she did not inquire about it.
After bidding farewell to the Duchess of Anguo, Yu Wan returned to Cuijinxuan and had a servant bring Qiaobi there.
The afternoon sun was warm but not intense. Yu Wan sat in a rattan chair, and Qiao Bi approached respectfully and bowed, "This servant Qiao Bi greets Miss Yu."
Yu Wan raised her eyes and glanced at her. "You came here because of the princess?"
A look of surprise flashed in Qiaobi's eyes.
She clearly hadn't said anything yet, so how did Miss Yu know?
Yu Wan smiled and said, "I felt something was off when I saw your princess at the Jade Pavilion today."
"I encountered a minor accident on my way to the Jade Treasure Pavilion, which delayed me a bit. When I arrived at the Jade Treasure Pavilion, I saw the Princess and Yun Shang in the same room. The Princess's cheeks were flushed, so she must have been thinking about something..."
Upon hearing that last sentence, Qiaobi's face turned pale.
Previously, the princess was fixated on Young Master Yun repeatedly angering His Highness Prince Chen. If things hadn't calmed down recently, His Highness Prince Chen would probably have ignored the princess long ago.
Princess, you finally gave up your feelings for Young Master Yun, why are you thinking about him again?
Qiaobi hurriedly said anxiously, "Miss Yu, the princess must be having a nightmare again. She was clearly awake just now!"
“You saw the princess last time. She’s not like this on a normal day. She wouldn’t be thinking about a married man. She must be having a nightmare again.”
Yu Wan looked at her, "Since you think she's possessed by a nightmare, you should go find a master. Why did you come to me?"
Qiaobi paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Because this time the princess is different from last time. She doesn't seem to be so fixated on Young Master Yun, nor does she see you as an enemy. So, I told the princess that you and she have a very good relationship..."
Yu Wan had just taken a sip of tea when she heard this, and she almost choked on it.
"Ahem." She opened her eyes slightly, letting Qiaobi repeat what she and Wang Wanshu had said.
Qiaobi told her exactly what she was told, "This servant said that the princess has a very close relationship with you, and you are very affectionate."
Yu Wan suppressed the smile on her lips.
He nodded earnestly, "I understand."
Qiaobi was wholeheartedly devoted to protecting her master, a fact she knew from Huicheng County.
So she deliberately said that ambiguous thing to Wang Wanshu today, hoping that Wang Wanshu would go back and ask Qiaobi.
Wang Wanshu trusted Qiaobi completely.
She would never doubt what Qiaobi said.
That bastard of a 'plot line' wants to bring the male and female leads together, right? I'd like to see how she develops a romantic relationship with the male lead when the female lead has incomplete memories and doubts that she likes women.
Qiaobi felt very uneasy when she saw that Yu Wan hadn't spoken for a while.
He pleaded in a low voice, "Miss Yu, please, you must help the princess. After returning from the Jade Pavilion today, the princess seems to have lost her memory and doesn't remember you at all. She even asked me about our past relationship."
"She went to the Jade Pavilion at your invitation, which is why she became like this. Could you help me recall if the princess has shown any other unusual behavior? Or do you know why the princess suddenly became like this?"
Yu Wan thought to herself, of course she knew.
They've been brainwashed by the 'plotline'.
"Is there anything strange about the princess right now?" Yu Wan asked earnestly.
Qiaobi frowned and recalled, "It seems that the princess has only forgotten things related to you; everything else is the same for now."
But I'm worried that if the princess goes mad again because of Young Master Yun, what will happen then?
Previously, the princess had attacked you several times for the sake of Young Master Yun, but thankfully you didn't hold it against her..."
Qiaobi's face showed genuine gratitude.
Young Master Yun is someone that Prince Chen values highly. If Yu Wan insists on seeking justice, Prince Chen will surely punish the princess severely in order to appease Young Master Yun.
But Yu Wan did not take the matter to heart.
If someone else wanted to kill her, how could Yu Wan be so magnanimous as to not care at all?
However, after discovering that Wang Wanshu was also acting against her will, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
She just couldn't bring herself to be cruel to the pretty older sister.
Moreover, Wang Wanshu is Prince Chen's cousin. No matter how severely Prince Chen punishes her, it won't be as severe as confinement or solitary reflection, which will be of little consequence to her.
Yu Wan waved her hand and said magnanimously, "Let bygones be bygones."
"Since you've made your princess forget me, why don't you mention me to her more often, so she'll think we have a very good relationship?" Yu Wan blinked and smiled slyly.
“I will also ask Yun Shang to avoid her.”
Qiaobi's eyes lit up. "That's what I thought too!"
