Chapter 394 Breakup
Yu Wan's pupils trembled.
After a long while, she lowered her eyes, trembling all over, and tried to raise her hand to gently wipe away her tears. Her voice was choked and almost broken: "I understand."
She said, word by word, "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me the truth. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have mistaken a thief for my mother for the rest of my life."
"I will always remember Your Highness's kindness."
A barely perceptible smile flashed in the King of Qi's eyes. He sighed, "I told Miss Yu this not because I wanted anything, but because I couldn't bear to see you being deceived."
"The Yun family is hypocritical. You... should think it over."
With her eyes red from crying, Yu Wan slowly stood up, mechanically bowed, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
Then, her steps faltered, as if she had lost her soul, and she walked out of Ming Si Teahouse heartbroken.
Xizhu waited anxiously outside the courtyard. When she saw Yu Wan come out, she immediately noticed her red and swollen eyes.
She was shocked, but Yu Wan grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go back first."
Seeing this, Xizhu could only suppress her doubts and worries and followed Yu Wan into the carriage.
As soon as she boarded the carriage, Xizhu could no longer contain herself and asked with concern, "Has the young lady been wronged?!"
"I knew it! I knew he had ill intentions!"
Yu Wan wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and shook her head, "It's okay, I wasn't wronged."
Xizhu, however, did not believe it.
If the girl hadn't been wronged, why would she have cried so hard that her eyes were red?
Seeing that Xizhu looked like she wanted to rush out and fight Qi Wang to the death, Yu Wan was both amused and exasperated. She quickly pulled her back and explained, "I really wasn't wronged."
She told Xizhu everything that the King of Qi had said to her.
Xizhu stood there stunned after hearing this, speechless for a long time.
"How, how could it be?"
She changed her angry demeanor and looked at Yu Wan cautiously, "Miss, do you believe what Prince Qi said?"
Yu Wan believed it, of course.
She looked at Xizhu, blinked, nodded, and smiled, "Of course I believe you. Why wouldn't I?"
Yun family.
Yunxi had never felt that two hours was so long. She waited anxiously for two hours, and when the time was up, she ran quickly to the gate of the mansion.
After waiting for a while, when the Yun family's carriage did not return, she became increasingly flustered.
Just as she was about to have the servants prepare the carriage, she saw Madam Shen hurrying out of the door. "Xi'er, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yunxi had promised Yuwan she wouldn't say anything more and was about to make an excuse when she caught a glimpse of a carriage in her line of sight and was overjoyed!
She quickly shook her head and laughed, "It's nothing, Mother. I wasn't in a hurry. You must have seen wrong."
Looking at her stubbornness, Madam Shen shook her head helplessly, "You..."
She looked up, her gaze falling on the approaching carriage, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
The carriage quickly stopped in front of the Yun residence, and Yu Wan jumped off.
Yunxi frowned as she watched this scene.
Where is Xizhu? Didn't Xizhu go out with her sister-in-law?
Yunxi was about to ask a question when she saw Yu Wan with a cold expression, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, walking towards them step by step.
Yunxi suddenly had a bad feeling.
She instinctively called out, "Sister-in-law—"
"Don't call me that!"
Before Yunxi could even finish saying "sister-in-law," Yu Wan interrupted her sharply.
She looked at Yunxi and Shen Shi with cold eyes, as if she were looking at... her enemies.
Yunxi felt a chill run from her toes to the top of her head as she was stared at by her cold, fierce gaze. In an instant, it felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. She was completely at a loss and stammered, "Sister-in-law... what's wrong? Has something happened?"
Yu Wan sneered, "What happened? You should ask your mother what she's been hiding!"
Shen's face turned somewhat pale.
She whispered, "Yu Niang..."
Yu Wan shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Even though Yunxi was very smart, she couldn't react to what was happening for a long time.
She looked back and forth between Yu Wan and Shen Shi, and said anxiously, "Mother, sister-in-law, what happened? What's going on?"
Yu Wan had never been so fierce to them, nor had she ever been so rude to her mother, but now she was treating her mother like this…
Yu Wan coldly met Shen's pale face, her voice icy, "Shen, your brother harbored resentment because he loved my mother back then, and kidnapped me, causing me to be separated from my family for many years. You knew about this all along, so why did you keep it a secret?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief. She looked at Madam Shen, her voice trembling slightly:
"Mother, is this true? How could this be..."
Madam Shen shook her head, her face pale. "No, Yu Niang, listen to what your mother has to say..."
"I don't want to hear anything." Yu Wan said calmly. "I don't want to see you right now. I'll be staying at the Duke of Anguo's mansion for a while, so you don't need to come looking for me. I won't see you."
After saying that, Yu Wan turned and left without looking back.
Yunxi then realized what was happening and hurriedly reached out to pull Yu Wan, "Sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding here, please don't leave yet."
Yu Wan turned to look at Yun Xi's hand, her tone calm yet undeniable: "Let go."
Yunxi was stunned, as if she had been frozen in place, her hand frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
Yu Wan took the opportunity to pull her hand away and strode away.
Yunxi snapped out of her daze and looked at Yu Wan walking away. She was extremely anxious and quickly pulled Shen Shi to chase after her. "Mother, my sister-in-law must have misunderstood something. Let's hurry and catch up with her to explain properly."
If her brother knew that they had gotten rid of his wife while he was out, who knows what would happen.
Madam Shen seemed rooted to the spot, remaining motionless, and only said with her eyes lowered, "Let's go back to the manor."
Yunxi looked anxious, not understanding why her mother was so pessimistic. "Mother, why don't we go after her? My sister-in-law must be very sad and angry right now. If we don't explain things clearly, she will continue to misunderstand!"
Madam Shen looked at Yunxi and said in a tone that left no room for refusal, "Xi'er, return to the manor."
Yunxi was stunned.
"After returning to the manor, Yu Wan immediately had a falling out with Madam Yun and her daughter, and has now returned to the Duke of Anguo's manor..."
King Qi listened to the steward's report and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Has Prince Chen received the message?"
The steward nodded. "We've already sent people there. After Prince Chen learned of this, he sent someone to the Duke of Anguo's residence, but the Duke of Anguo refused to see any guests and did not meet with any of Prince Chen's people."
King Qi played with the jade thumb ring on his hand, his face bearing his usual gentle smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, revealing a chilling edge.
"I am very curious to see how my good seventh brother will deal with this."
