AWB Chapter 199 Stay Away from the Crazy Male Lead
Chapter 199 Stay Away from the Crazy Male Lead
Upon hearing Yu Wan's cries for help, Yun Shang's face grew increasingly grim, like dark clouds gathering before a storm.
His eyes held a chilling coldness that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Do you think I would kill you?
Yu Wan pointed the dagger at him, her voice not quiet, "You can't do it?!"
She raised her head, revealing a ring of bright red handprints around her neck.
"If I hadn't woken up and freed myself from your grasp, you would have killed me!"
After Yun Shang saw the glaring red mark on Yu Wan's neck, the dark look churning in his eyes seemed to finally subside.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
Then came the anxious shouts of Granny Yu and Xizhu.
"girl!"
"What happened? Are you alright?!"
Yu Wan stared intently at Yun Shang.
She didn't speak, but her eyes conveyed only that one meaning.
If he dares to kill me in the Duke of Anguo's mansion, even Prince Chen might not be able to let me escape unscathed.
Yun Shang understood Yu Wan's gaze, and he silently lowered his eyes.
It was a very low voice, almost a murmur.
"I never intended to really kill you..."
Yu Wan didn't hear it.
Before Granny Yu and Xizhu pushed the door open and entered the room, Yunshang nimbly climbed out through the back window.
The window, pushed open, swayed precariously, sending in a gust of cold wind.
Yu Wan stared out the dark window, her body went limp, and the dagger in her hand clattered onto the bed.
When Granny Yu and Xizhu saw the swaying window, they turned their heads and saw Yu Wan, who looked as if she had been pulled out of the water. They were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Granny Yu's face turned deathly pale. "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Has a thief broken in?"
She asked the question with great hesitation.
The most important thing for a young lady is her chastity. If a thief were to break into Cuijinxuan and take liberties with her, could she bear it?
Yu Wan was still trembling.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she gasped for breath, like a dying person who had just struggled to the shore from the bottom of the water.
Granny Yu and Xizhu rushed to her side.
Xizhu was at a loss, and Granny Yu took Yu Wan into her arms with heartache and patted her back to comfort her.
"It's alright, young lady, the nanny is here."
Perhaps it was Granny Yu's comforting words that worked, and Yu Wan finally calmed down.
She lifted her head from Granny Yu's arms and met two worried and anxious faces.
Realizing that her words could easily be misunderstood, she quickly explained, "I'm fine. I didn't let that thief take advantage of me."
Granny Yu examined her carefully and found that she was pale and had a ligature mark around her neck, but no other marks on her body.
She turned to Xizhu and said, "Go get some ice and ointment, and give the young lady an ice pack to reduce the swelling."
Xizhu responded and left quietly.
Granny Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows remained furrowed. "Miss, who on earth is so bold as to dare to harm you in the mansion?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Yu Wan's eyes. She didn't want to reveal Yun Shang's affairs completely to Granny Yu and Xi Zhu, fearing it would cause them unnecessary trouble.
But feeling that she couldn't completely hide it, she carefully said, "I'm not sure either. Granny, let's not make this public for now. I don't want to cause any panic in the manor."
Granny Yu nodded, "This servant understands."
It is not a shameful thing for a man to break into a woman's boudoir.
If word gets out, people will only gossip about the girl's bad reputation.
Therefore, when she and Xizhu entered the house, she did not immediately call the guards to chase after them.
“This matter cannot be publicized, but this old servant must tell the master and madam about it.” A cold glint flashed in Granny Yu’s eyes. “Are the guards in the manor all useless? They didn’t even know a thief had broken into the manor.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan couldn't help but recall Yun Shang's nimble leap through the window earlier—he didn't seem like someone who hadn't practiced martial arts at all.
She had always relied on her knowledge of the original work and thought she knew Yun Shang well enough.
Only now did she realize that she seemed to know nothing about Yun Shang.
The descriptions in the original work are all one-sided. To Yun Shang, she is a fictional character, but to Yun Shang, the world in the book is real.
They live here, and something happens every moment.
The book only briefly mentions Yun Shang's life over the past ten years.
But she had no idea what he had actually been through.
Thinking about all this, Yu Wan's resolve became even stronger.
Only by staying away from the male lead can you save your life.
"Granny Yu," Yu Wan called out to Granny Yu, gently shaking her head, "It's better not to tell Father and Mother, so as not to make them worry."
“Shengjing City is so big, how difficult it is to find a thief.”
Upon hearing this, Granny Yu hesitated as well.
Indeed, telling Duke Anguo and his wife would only create two more people to worry about.
She had no choice but to nod.
Looking at Yu Wan with a pained expression, he said, "Miss, you've been wronged."
She was sleeping soundly at night when a thief suddenly broke into her bedroom, and she was almost assaulted.
If this had happened to any other noblewoman, she would surely be weeping uncontrollably by now.
But her daughter is still stubbornly holding on.
Yu Wan understood the meaning behind Granny Yu's eyes, and her heart warmed.
Granny Yu was genuinely worried about her.
Yu Wan gently held Yu Mama's hand and said, "Mama, I feel much more at ease with you by my side. Don't worry, I'm really fine."
Granny Yu patted her hand and said gently, "Tonight, this old servant and Xizhu will sleep with you, young lady. We will definitely protect you."
At this moment, Xizhu rushed over with ice and ointment.
Granny Yu took the instrument and carefully applied it to the marks on Yu Wanbing's neck, saying with concern as she did so, "Miss, these marks will probably take quite some time to fade. You'll have to bear the pain for the next few days."
Yu Wan endured the stinging pain and said, "It just looks scary, but it doesn't actually hurt."
He cursed Yun Shang eight hundred times in his heart.
She had gone to great lengths to please him, and almost lost her life trying to save him.
Naively believing that she had reconciled with the male lead.
She still wanted to be his wife.
The thought of having such a naive idea made Yu Wan wish she could go back in time and wake up from her naivety.
Previously in Shijia Village, there was no other way to survive but to please Yunshang.
Now that she is a member of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, she will no longer give Yun Shang the chance to harm her!
Damn it, she's not going to serve me anymore!
……
Yu Wan didn't sleep well in the latter half of the night.
In her dream, she was killed by Yun Shang again and again, by means of strangulation, hacking, beating, poisoning, etc.
It's fair to say she experienced every possible way to die.
As dawn broke, Yu Wan woke up with a start, covered in sweat.
Xizhu and Granny Yu stayed up all night, keeping watch over her.
She couldn't be woken up no matter what she did during her nightmare, but now that she's awake, I feel a huge sense of relief.
