Chapter 201 What happened last night?
Looking at the disbelief in the eyes of the Duchess of Anguo.
Yu Wan said calmly, "Mother, yesterday was the first time I met that Young Master Xie. He was frivolous and offended me in many ways. My cousin and cousin Jingyao can testify to this."
“I thought Prince Xie’s mouth was really dirty, so I kindly asked him to wash it.”
Lady Kangping's face was already quite gloomy.
She gritted her teeth, "Nonsense!"
“My son is a gentleman, how could he speak so frivolously and offend you? Even if he did, it was because you shamelessly tried to seduce him!”
Yu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly.
This confirms that Lady Kangping was indeed a womanizer.
Lady Anguo's face turned pale and then red as she listened to these words.
Looking at her daughter's indifferent face, several thoughts suddenly popped into her mind.
My daughter has divorced and remarried; I'm afraid she'll never find a man as outstanding as the heir of the Kangping Marquis's mansion.
If Xie Shizi were to inherit the title in the future, he would become the Marquis of Kangping, and his daughter would become the Lady of Kangping. Their later years would certainly be prosperous.
As for Xie Shizi's frivolous remarks towards his daughter, it was mostly because he loved her.
Men, when they like a woman, often say things they don't mean.
Such thoughts occupied most of Lady Anguo's mind. She wanted to scold her daughter, but the words wouldn't come out.
It seemed as if a subconscious voice was telling her that things shouldn't be this way.
"hiss--"
Just as Lady Kangping was glaring angrily at Yu Wan, Lady Anguo suddenly clutched her forehead and cried out in pain.
Yu Wan immediately stepped forward, took the hand of the Duchess of Anguo, and asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Headache..." The Duchess of Anguo's face unconsciously showed pain, and her brows furrowed together.
Seeing this, Yu Wan hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, go and fetch a doctor!"
While gently massaging the temples of the Duchess of Anguo, she instructed the maid to prepare some calming tea.
Although Lady Kangping was still angry, she could not retaliate at this moment and could only stand aside, her face still unpleasant.
Princess Ruixi shook her head slightly. She had come to act as matchmaker, but she hadn't expected to encounter such a farce. She had also begun to reconsider the marriage.
Before long, the doctor rushed over and carefully examined Lady Anguo.
The doctor took the pulse for a long time, his brows furrowing in frustration.
What she feared most was the doctor's grave expression, so Yu Wan asked cautiously, "Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?"
The doctor's face was grave. "Madam's pulse..."
He paused for a moment, which almost made Yu Wan angry.
Then the doctor gasped for breath and said:
"Nothing unusual."
Yu Wan: "Nothing unusual? Then why does my mother have a headache?"
The doctor thought to himself that he was also puzzled. After a moment of thought, he slowly said, "Madam may have suffered some kind of shock, coupled with her recent fatigue, so she is feeling unwell for the time being. She just needs to rest well."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a serious illness.
"Granny Yu, please help my mother back to her room to rest." She looked at Granny Yu.
Seeing that the Duchess of Anguo's face had turned pale with pain, Granny Yu did not dare to delay and helped her leave the main hall.
After the Duchess of Anguo was helped out of the main hall, Yu Wan turned to face the Duchess of Kangping and Princess Ruixi, and smiled slightly.
"Princess, Lady of Kangping, my mother is unwell today, so please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."
That's tantamount to telling them to leave.
Princess Ruixi was very easy to talk to. Although she didn't get to see the excitement, she wasn't disappointed. Instead, she became more interested in Yu Wan.
She stood up, and her personal maidservant quickly helped her up.
Princess Ruixi said, "You two families can discuss the marriage arrangement privately. Let's not argue about it today. We can discuss it in detail when the Duchess of Anguo is feeling better."
"I cannot stay any longer, so I will take my leave now."
Yu Wan smiled and bowed, "Princess, please take care."
Princess Ruixi waved her hand, indicating that she did not need to see her off.
After Princess Ruixi left, Lady Kangping turned her gaze back to Yu Wan.
She looked her over for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, her tone strangely gentle.
"Let's pretend that what happened yesterday was Guanqing's fault, and I, as his mother, apologize to you on his behalf." She smiled and said, "Wan'er, Guanqing truly likes you, and I am very satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law. This marriage is settled between our two families."
After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Yu Wan to say anything.
Yu Wan looked as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
Are these two, mother and son, clinging to her?
The Duchess of Anguo was the same; she had clearly promised not to worry about her marriage, yet she suddenly forced her to divorce.
Although the reasons were valid, Yu Wan still felt that something was wrong.
But if you asked her to point out what was wrong, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
And last night...
The Yun Shang who wanted to kill her last night seemed to have become the Yun Shang from when she first transmigrated into the book, full of suspicion and hatred towards her. It seemed that as long as he found any evidence that she had harmed Shen Shi and Yun Xi, he would kill her.
……
Yun Mansion.
When noon had passed and Yun Shang still hadn't come out of his bedroom, Miao Hong cautiously knocked on the door.
"Young master, are you awake? Would you like breakfast?"
After she finished speaking, she listened carefully to the sounds inside the room, but could not hear a sound at all.
Miao Hong was puzzled.
Is the young master not in the room?
Thinking this, Miao Hong knocked a few more times, and seeing that there was still no response, she gently pushed open the door.
The room was somewhat dark, so she opened the door, allowing light to pour in and gradually dispel the darkness.
Miao Hong assumed that Yun Shang was definitely not in the room, but when she looked up, she was caught off guard by a pair of dark and gloomy eyes.
Miao Hong was so startled she almost cried out, but thankfully she covered her mouth in time.
Yun Shang sat at the table, his clothes slightly disheveled and his hair a little loose, but his eyes were fixed on her.
His dark, brooding eyes seemed to hold a hint of confusion and bewilderment, as if he had not yet fully broken free from some kind of thought.
"Young Master, are you... are you alright?" Miao Hong asked in a trembling voice.
Yun Shang remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Last night..."
He only said three words before his voice suddenly stopped.
Miao Hong was waiting for him to speak, but seeing that he remained silent, she couldn't help but ask, "Young master, how were you last night?"
Yun Shang frowned slightly.
What did he do last night?
He only remembered that last night he felt as if he were trapped in a chaotic fog, his mind filled with many jumbled images, including anger and suspicion towards Yu Wan...
He seems to have done something else as well.
Yun Shang rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head. "Did I leave the manor last night?"
Miao Hong was surprised that he would ask that, and shook her head, saying, "No, young master received it..."
Thinking of Yun Shang's expression last night, she omitted the words "divorce agreement".
“After I left, you stayed in the room and never left.”
She kept watch in the side room for most of the night, but did not hear the door being opened.
Yun Shang felt a sudden sense of relief.
He noticed Miao Hong's pause, looked up and asked in confusion, "What did I receive?"
Miao Hong was stunned, and blurted out, "The divorce papers sent by the Duke of Anguo's mansion to the county government..."
Divorce...book?
Something seemed to flash through Yun Shang's mind, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards his desk.
He searched for a long time before finally finding the divorce agreement crumpled into a ball under the desk.
The moment Yun Shang picked up the divorce papers, it was as if a burst of white light exploded in her mind, and something flashed by.
