Chapter 164 The details have been found out
Chen Yuanniang's face turned deathly pale instantly, her body trembled slightly, and the joy in her eyes turned into despair in an instant.
Yu Wan never believed her from the beginning; she was deliberately playing her tricks!
Chen Yuanniang's feigned pitiful appearance could no longer be maintained, and she shouted fiercely but weakly, "You're lying to me?!"
Yu Wan smiled faintly and replied, "Aren't you lying to me too?"
"I didn't..." Chen Yuanniang tried to argue, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you'll definitely regret it later!"
Yu Wan simply smiled and remained silent. She had lost all interest in continuing the idle chatter with Chen Yuanniang. "If you've only come to me to say these things, then I'm afraid I can't keep you company any longer, Chen Yuanniang. You'd better think about your own business."
Seeing Yu Wan decisively turn around to leave, Chen Yuanniang's face immediately showed panic.
"No! Yu Wan, don't go!"
She clung tightly to the railing, as if it were her last lifeline.
"Yu Wan, you can't be so heartless!" Chen Yuanniang shouted hoarsely, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! As long as you save me, I will repay you by serving you like a slave."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything I know!"
Yu Wan paused slightly and slowly turned to the side.
Seeing that she was not leaving, Chen Yuanniang felt as if all her strength had been drained, and slumped to the ground.
"One night four months ago, I started having the same dream over and over again," Chen Yuanniang began slowly, her voice tinged with confusion.
"At first, I didn't take the dream seriously. However, the dream kept recurring for five days in a row, and the things I dreamed about just before I woke up always came true the next day."
“I dreamed that a rabbit would run into my fence and die, and the next day, a rabbit actually appeared there.”
A hint of reminiscence flickered in Chen Yuanniang's eyes.
“I also dreamed that my father twisted his leg while hunting, and when he came home the next evening, he was indeed limping.”
"That's when I realized that my dreams seemed to foresee future events, and in my dreams, I saw..."
She raised her eyes and couldn't help but glance at Yu Wan.
His eyes held a deep sense of envy and resentment.
"The man you are now marrying, Yun Shang, will become Prince Chen's right-hand man in the future. After Prince Chen passes away, Yun Shang will become the regent, assisting the young emperor in handling state affairs. He will be second only to the emperor and above all others."
As she spoke of these things, Chen Yuanniang gazed into the void, as if she had truly witnessed such a scene.
Yu Wan listened to these words with an unchanged expression, but she could not hide her shock.
As she spoke of these things, Chen Yuanniang gazed into the void, as if she had truly witnessed such a scene.
Most importantly, the person Chen Yuanniang dreamt of marrying Yunshang was herself, not Wang Wanshu.
That's why Chen Yuanniang was so determined to deal with her...
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she heard Chen Yuanniang say, "In my dream, I saw you and Yunshang as a loving couple, living in perfect harmony. You were the most celebrated couple in Shengjing. You had a son and a daughter, and you lived a happy and fulfilling life. All the women in Shengjing envied you for marrying such a good husband."
"Why can't this person be me?" Chen Yuanniang chuckled foolishly. "Heaven let me know what would happen in the future. It must be because I am the most special person. That's why I came to Shengjing and became 'you'. I just didn't expect you to appear so soon."
"And she has already married Yunshang."
Yu Wan frowned. "Do you think that by becoming 'me,' you can get everything I have?"
Chen Yuanniang retorted, "Isn't that right?"
Yu Wan stared at her for a few seconds, then sighed, "Chen Yuanniang, what a person can gain is not because of their status or position, but because of who they are."
In the original novel, Yu Wan was the daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family. What was her fate in the end?
She still can't forget it.
Even now, Yun Shang frequently shows her kindness and affection, and she still can't accept it without any reservations.
Chen Yuanniang hugged her knees and remained silent.
Yu Wan glanced at her one last time before turning and leaving.
Chen Yuanniang hadn't heard any sound for a long time, so she looked up and realized that Yu Wan was nowhere to be found!
She hadn't expected that after confessing everything, she wouldn't receive a single word of assurance from Yu Wan, and her expression became twisted.
"Yu Wan! You lied to me! I curse you, I curse you to die a horrible death! May you never have a peaceful end in this life—"
"What's all the noise about?" the jailer's shouts rang out, his menacing voice warning Chen Yuanniang, "If you say another word, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Yu Wan did not hear Chen Yuanniang's curse.
Even if they heard it, they wouldn't take it to heart.
If curses were effective, why would people need to be so preoccupied with their affairs?
……
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Yu Wan prepared to return home.
Back to the Yun family.
However, the carriage had just left the street where the Ministry of Justice was located when it suddenly stopped.
Yu Wan lifted the carriage curtain and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
The coachman, a member of the Duke of Anguo's household, turned around and replied, "Miss, we've been stopped on the road ahead. Judging from their attire, they should be maids from a noble family."
Yu Wan looked up and was slightly taken aback when she saw who it was.
The other person saw the carriage stop and walked over.
"Miss Yu," Qiaobi said, a little embarrassed, "the princess would like to invite you for a cup of tea."
Have tea?
Yu Wan's lips curled slightly, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you sure your princess 'invited' me for tea?"
Thinking about what the princess had done to Yu Wan before, Qiaobi felt somewhat uneasy.
She hesitated before saying, "The princess is somewhat different from the one Miss Yu used to see. Please, Miss Yu, go and meet my princess."
Yu Wan leaned back against the carriage, a smile playing on her lips, but no real smile in her eyes. "Can I refuse?"
Qiaobi pursed her lips and remained silent.
Yu Wan understood.
She jumped off the carriage and said to the driver, "Uncle He, please go back and tell my father and mother that Princess Tianyin invited me for tea. I will go back later."
He Bo had overheard their conversation. Although he didn't know what grudge his young lady had against Princess Tianyin, he was certain they came with ill intentions.
He nodded, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely pass on the message."
Seeing this, Qiaobi didn't say anything.
Yu Wan got into Qiao Bi's carriage, and she didn't say a word the whole way.
Qiaobi hesitated several times before speaking, but Yu Wan saw it all and pretended not to notice.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Jade Pavilion.
Yu Wan glanced at the signboard of Fei Bao Lou, her gaze shifting slightly.
By arranging the meeting at this location, at least there's no worry about Wang Wanshu suddenly going crazy and attacking her.
After all, Fei Bao Lou is Prince Chen's territory, and it's likely that someone was secretly watching Wang Wan Shu the moment she stepped into Fei Bao Lou.
"Miss Yu, the princess is waiting for you in the private room number one upstairs." Qiaobi was very respectful.
Yu Wan glanced at her and went upstairs.
Inside the private room number one in the VIP section, Yu Wan saw Wang Wanshu.
She wore a moon-white brocade dress, draped with a shawl as light as smoke, and her hair was styled in a high bun adorned with the finest jade hairpins, making her seem even more ethereal than before.
At first glance, Yu Wan felt that Wang Wanshu seemed different in some way.
