Chapter 127 is here! The cannon fodder who causes trouble for the male lead.
Inside the inn, Prince Chen had intended to go out to pick up Wang Wanshu, but when he looked up, he saw Wang Wanshu with her head down, rushing inside in a panic.
He exclaimed, "Heavens—"
He had barely uttered a single word when Wang Wanshu swept past him like a gust of wind.
Prince Chen: "..."
Mingwei: "...What's wrong with the princess?"
Qiaobi slowed her pace and hurriedly bowed to Prince Chen, "Greetings, Your Highness."
After saying that, he wanted to follow Wang Wanshu.
Mingwei reached out to stop her, "What's wrong, Princess?"
Qiaobi also looked bewildered. "This servant doesn't know either. It seems that the princess was frightened by something."
She thought to herself that it seemed the princess was startled when she saw Young Master Yunshang after getting off the carriage.
Prince Chen glanced thoughtfully outside the inn.
In the past few days, Tianyin seems to have stopped bothering Yunshang.
Did she finally realize she was wrong, or did something happen between her and Yun Shang that he didn't know about?
Despite his doubts, Prince Chen felt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
It's much better for Tianyin to avoid Yunshang than for her to disregard her status as a princess and try to get close to him.
Tomorrow they would continue their journey, so after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
The inn was booked by Prince Chen's men. Knowing that Yun Shang and Yu Wan were a couple, they naturally only booked one room for the two of them.
It wasn't the first time Yu Wan had shared a bed with Yun Shang, so she wasn't embarrassed at all.
The only thing that bothered her was that the bed in the inn was not big.
The two lay together, almost shoulder to shoulder, with no gap between them.
Lying down fully clothed, Yu Wan slept on the inside, trying her best to keep herself pressed against the wall.
It wasn't that she disliked Yun Shang, but rather that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist being seduced by his good looks.
After silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times in her mind, Yu Wan finally drifted off to sleep.
Beside him, Yun Shang glanced at Yu Wan, who was standing close to the wall, his eyes darkening slightly.
He raised his hand and slowly pulled the blanket off Yu Wan.
Before long, feeling cold in her half-awake state, Yu Wan subconsciously sought out a source of warmth and clung to the person next to her like an octopus.
A hint of a smile flashed in Yun Shang's eyes as he tucked her in and placed his hand restrainedly on her waist.
After he regained all his memories, the side effects of the antidote did not occur as frequently, but once he came into close contact with Yu Wan, the evil fire in his body would spread uncontrollably.
At first he couldn't control himself, but now he can do it without changing his expression, so no one will notice anything unusual.
Listening to the soft breathing of the girl in his arms, Yun Shang gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
Yu Wan seemed carefree and unguarded towards him, but Yun Shang could sense that she was still wary of him.
hold on……
The next morning, when Yu Wan woke up, Yun Shang was no longer in bed.
She patted her face to wake herself up, and after getting dressed, she was about to go find Yun Shang when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"You think you can just hit me and leave? You think it's that easy?"
Yu Wan's brow twitched.
As soon as she opened it, she saw Yun Shang standing not far away with his back to her.
Opposite Yun Shang stood a young man with a decent appearance, but a pale face and dark circles under his eyes that rivaled those of a panda.
The man was dressed in a royal blue robe, and the jade pendant at his waist and the jade crown that bound his hair were exquisite and expensive items, making it clear at a glance that he was either rich or noble.
However, compared to his expensive accessories, he himself seemed less valuable.
With a face that looked like it had been through too much indulgence, he still gave Yun Shang a contemptuous and mocking look.
Yu Wan stood at the door and did not go over.
Yun Shang, still holding the breakfast for Yu Wan, calmly said to the man, "You bumped into me on your own."
The inn's corridor wasn't narrow, and he was walking on the left side, so how could he have bumped into someone walking on the right?
This person had not been drinking, so he must have been deliberately provoking trouble.
But he had no recollection of this person and was quite certain that he did not know him.
"I bumped into you?" The man scoffed, glancing at Yun Shang with disdain. "With your shabby appearance, I'd rather run into you than see you."
"If you accidentally damage any of my valuable possessions, can you afford to pay for it?"
"I think you're just trying to scam me because you see me as rich!"
At this time, the inn's guests gradually went out for breakfast, and upon discovering the excitement, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
Yu Wan overheard the people around her talking.
"That young man in black wasn't dressed fancy, but if you're asking who looked more shabby..."
"It's clearly that person in the royal blue clothes!"
"Some people, no matter how luxurious their clothes are, can't hide their thuggishness, but some people, no matter how simply they dress, exude an air of nobility."
"That's right, that's right. Although this young man in black is dressed simply and plainly, he has an extraordinary air about him. Could he be a young master from some noble family?"
"I've heard that some young masters from noble families learn to disguise themselves and experience the lives of ordinary people when they travel. I suppose this young man in black is one of them."
Hearing these comments, Yu Wan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Therefore, the eyes of the masses are discerning; it's obvious who's trying to scam whom.
The young man in the royal blue robe seemed not to have expected things to develop this way, and immediately roared in exasperation, "Get out! Get out of here! What do you people know!"
The people around him chirped the crickets even louder.
The young man in sapphire blue was so angry that his face turned red.
Unable to withstand the ire of the crowd, he had no choice but to turn his blade against Yun Shang.
Pointing to the broken jade pendant on the ground, he said in a condescending tone, "You broke my jade pendant. This jade pendant is an ancestral heirloom of my family, and its value is immeasurable. I'm just going to pay you a thousand taels of silver since you don't seem to be from a wealthy family!"
Yun Shang frowned slightly.
"That jade pendant is indeed of good quality and should be worth a thousand taels."
"Can this young man come up with a thousand taels?"
The young man in sapphire blue sneered, his gaze sweeping over everyone before settling on Yun Shang.
"I did not mean."
He said, "What I'm saying is, you have to compensate me with a thousand taels of gold."
One thousand taels of gold?
The gasps of astonishment rose from the surrounding onlookers.
Yu Wan also showed an incredulous expression.
This person is really asking for an exorbitant amount!
Is this person a professional scammer?
If I make a fortune from this, I won't have to worry about the rest of my life.
Faced with the aggressive man, Yun Shang remained calm and said, "You took off the jade pendant yourself and deliberately threw it on the ground. It has nothing to do with me."
"You mean I deliberately broke my ancestral jade pendant to frame you?" The man seemed to laugh in anger. "I don't know you at all, why would I deliberately frame you?"
"Even if someone wanted to frame you, they wouldn't go so far as to use an ancestral jade pendant to do so!"
For a moment, the onlookers also felt that what he said made sense.
Yun Shang glanced at the porridge in her hand, which had mostly lost its heat, and lost all patience to argue with the man in front of her. Her voice was cold and clear.
He said, word by word, "An ancestral jade pendant?"
"The ancestral jade pendant you mentioned is the special-offer item sold at counter number twelve on the first floor of Biyu Pavilion in Linji City, priced at fifty taels of silver each with no limit on the quantity that can be purchased?"
