Chapter 165 Apology
Yu Wan looked at Wang Wanshu quietly, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness and doubt.
From the moment they first met, Wang Wanshu looked at her with intense hostility.
However, today, the sharp, unsettling probing look in Wang Wanshu's eyes was gone, replaced by a gentle, watery quality, like a warm breeze and fine rain, softly caressing the face.
Wan Shu also saw Yu Wan.
She still vividly remembered how Yu Wan calmly dealt with criticism from others in the Duke of Shun's mansion, a demeanor that Wang Wanshu most envied.
So when she returned to her residence, she sent people to inquire about Yu Wan's whereabouts.
But Qiaobi told her that she and Yu Wan had known each other before.
Wang Wanshu felt puzzled. She didn't remember knowing such a woman at all. If she did, how could she have no impression of her at all?
Especially after hearing Qiaobi say that she had almost killed Yu Wan on several occasions, Wang Wanshu found it even more absurd.
This is something she would never do!
Because her parents died early, although her aunt and cousin treated her very well, she always felt like she was living under someone else's roof.
She was well-behaved and cautious in everything she did, afraid of causing trouble for her aunt and cousin.
But she had no choice but to believe what Qiaobi said.
Qiaobi had been by her side since childhood and was her closest person. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were like sisters. She believed that Qiaobi would not lie to her.
Qiaobi said that she might have been haunted by something evil some time ago, and Wang Wanshu believed her.
She definitely wasn't the one who did those outrageous things before!
Feeling guilty, Wang Wanshu quickly stood up when she saw Yu Wan walk in, and greeted her with a gentle smile, "I apologize for inviting Miss Yu here."
A look of surprise flashed across Yu Wan's eyes.
What is Wang Wanshu up to?
She remained calm and replied in a flat tone, "Greetings, Princess."
"May I ask what brings the princess to see me today?"
Seeing her cold attitude, Wang Wanshu guessed that she must have done many bad things to her in the past, and felt even more guilty. She lowered her head and whispered:
"I want to apologize to Miss Yu."
"sorry."
"Qiaobi said that I had done some very bad things to the girl before. Although I don't remember them, it doesn't mean that those things didn't happen."
"Qiaobi," she called out loudly.
Then Qiaobi pushed open the door and entered, followed by several maids carrying trays.
The trays they carried were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, brocade, calligraphy, paintings, and other precious items.
Yu Wan only had time to glance at it before she heard Wang Wanshu say, "Miss Yu, these are all my apologies. I don't expect you to forgive me, but please accept them."
Yu Wan turned to look at Wang Wanshu, but didn't say anything.
Seeing that she remained unmoved, Wang Wanshu felt even more annoyed.
Did she prepare too little in her apology?
Or perhaps, these material possessions are utterly insignificant compared to the harm she caused Yu Wan?
Wang Wanshu pursed her lips and suddenly pulled a hairpin from her hair.
Yu Wan subtly moved her wrist, preparing to take out the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
Just then, she watched as Wang Wanshu held the hairpin to her own hand and gestured with it.
Yu Wan looked completely bewildered. "What do you want to do?"
Qiaobi also looked panicked, "Princess, what are you doing?"
Wang Wanshu said, "Qiaobi said that I almost caused your death. I thought that perhaps only by letting you get revenge can I make you feel better."
As she spoke, she handed the hairpin in her hand to Yu Wan, "I remember the doctor said that there is little bleeding when this spot is injured, so you can slash me to vent your anger."
Yu Wan: "…………" She had a face full of question marks.
Qiaobi choked for a moment, then hurriedly snatched the hairpin away, "Princess, you mustn't!"
Yu Wan: "There's absolutely no need for that."
The female lead went mad in a different direction again.
Wang Wanshu looked at Yu Wan hesitantly, her watery eyes fixed intently on Yu Wan.
Yu Wan closed her eyes briefly, concealing the complex emotions within them, and asked, "Princess Tianyin, what exactly do you want to do?"
“I want to apologize to you for what I have done,” she said seriously.
She was so serious that Yu Wan answered her directly: "I accept the princess's apology, but whether I forgive the princess or not is not important. I think that I will not have any contact with the princess in the future, so the princess does not need to be so concerned about whether I forgive you or not."
Judging from this, Wang Wanshu has probably awakened her self-awareness and is no longer controlled by the original 'plot line'.
In that case, Wang Wanshu should stop targeting her, right?
This was definitely a pleasant surprise for Yu Wan.
Without the control of the plot, the male and female leads probably won't end up together...
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Yu Wan said goodbye. Wang Wanshu wanted to stop her, but seeing her cold expression, she hesitated for a moment and didn't stop her.
As soon as Yu Wan left, Wang Wanshu instructed Qiaobi, "Have someone send all the apologies to the Yun family. If the Yun family doesn't accept them, send them every day."
Qiaobi knew that her princess was stubborn, so she did not try to persuade her.
The princess is in a much better state now than she was before, when she had a sinister look on her face and was shouting that she wanted to kill Yu Wan.
His Highness Prince Chen did not stop them.
It was noon when Yu Wan returned to the Yun residence from the Jade Treasure Pavilion. The family was having lunch. Yu Wan went to the main hall and saw Yun Shang sitting alone at the dining table eating.
Alone and looking somewhat lonely.
Yu Wan shook her head, finding her idea somewhat ridiculous.
Yun Shang is the male protagonist, and even if he deviates from the main plot, the story still revolves around him.
Especially in the old-fashioned angst novel "Torture and Love", there are countless female supporting characters who cause trouble for the male and female protagonists, and 'Yu Wan' is just one of them.
If she remembers correctly, not long after the male lead enters Shengjing, those 'female supporting characters' who admire him will appear one after another.
"Yu Niang".
Yu Wan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Yun Shang call her name.
"Huh?" Yu Wan looked up, bewildered, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What are your plans now?" Yun Shang's dark eyes fell on her face.
Yu Wan didn't react for a moment, "What plans?"
Yun Shang's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was low, "Your mother asked me to help you find your biological parents before, but now that you've found them yourself, what are your plans?"
Although Yun Shang did not think that his marriage to Yu Wan was a step up for him from the Duke's family, if the news that Yu Wan was the daughter of the Duke's family spread...
Outsiders wouldn't think that way.
They would only think that the Duke's family was of such high social standing that it was far beyond the reach of a scholar like him with no connections.
Yu Wan belatedly realized what Yun Shang was asking, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
To be honest, she hadn't figured out what to do yet.
When she first transmigrated into the book, all she wanted was for the male lead not to hold a grudge against her, so that she could smoothly divorce him.
After experiencing many things with Yun Shang, her thoughts underwent some subtle changes.
She noticed the change in Yun Shang's attitude towards her, but...
Does Yun Shang really like her?
