Chapter 358 Preparing for the wedding
The weather was nice today, and the two of them slowly arrived at the Duke of Anguo's mansion by carriage.
Yun Shang got off the carriage first. Lady Anguo had been waiting at the door since she learned that Yu Wan was coming back. When she saw Yun Shang get off the carriage, she was about to walk over when she saw the young and handsome man turn around and carefully help Yu Wan down from the carriage as if he had found a treasure.
Lady Anguo's mouth stretched almost to the back of her ears as she watched this scene.
Yu Wan didn't expect Yun Shang to turn around and help her up.
She was still a little dazed when she stood on the floor tiles.
This man is being incredibly considerate right now; Yu Wan feels like she's dreaming.
Yun Shang waited until Yu Wan was steady before letting go of her hand and respectfully bowing to the Duchess of Anguo, "Mother-in-law."
Lady Anguo's face, which was so well-maintained that not a single wrinkle was visible, was full of smiles. "No need for formalities, let's go inside and talk."
Yun Shang politely declined, saying, "There are still many things at home that are not yet ready. I'm only here today to bring Yu Niang back."
Lady Anguo naturally understood what he meant by "things she wasn't prepared for," and nodded with a smile.
He said with concern, "Alright, don't overwork yourself. Just tell the servants to do whatever you need."
Yun Shang responded respectfully.
Then, he turned to look at Yu Wan, his previously distant and calm gaze softening instantly.
"I will come to pick you up in a couple of days."
Their wedding is in three days.
Yu Wan didn't think she was a sentimental person, but perhaps she really had fallen for Yun Shang, and at this moment she felt a little reluctant to part ways.
Even though it had only been two days since they last met, for a moment she felt that time had been incredibly long.
Yu Wan ignored this emotion and simply said "Oh".
Yun Shang gave Yu Wan a deep look before turning and leaving.
Yu Wan watched him get into the carriage, and only after the carriage was out of sight did she hear the smiling voice of the Duchess of Anguo, "I haven't seen enough yet, and he's already gone."
His voice was full of sarcasm.
Yu Wan's face flushed red instantly, her eyes glistening with tears. "Mother, please stop teasing me."
Lady Anguo smiled and took Yu Wan's hand. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go inside the mansion. Your mother has prepared lots of delicious food for you, all of which are your favorites."
Yu Wan was pulled into the mansion by the Duchess of Anguo.
The mansion was already decorated, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and red ribbons and auspicious characters hanging all over it, showing the care and attention put into it by the Duke and Duchess of Anguo.
Yu Wan looked intently at the Duchess of Anguo, "Mother, you've gone to so much trouble."
Lady Anguo patted her hand, "Silly child, what's the trouble? As long as you're happy, I'm satisfied. By the way, you should rest well in the manor these few days. If you need anything, just tell me."
Over the next two days, Yu Wan originally wanted to visit Yu Ji, but the Duchess of Anguo told her to focus on preparing for the wedding in two days, as Miao Hong would take care of things at Yu Ji.
Miao Hong is now fully capable of handling things on her own.
The Duchess of Anguo kept staring at her, and Yu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had no choice but to agree.
So these two days were the most leisurely two days she had since transmigrating into the book.
She didn't have to do anything; she only needed to cooperate with the maids in the courtyard to do various maintenance treatments.
Lady Anguo went to great lengths to prepare the best perfumes, face creams, and other products in Shengjing for her, some for her face and some for her body. The effects were not much worse than those made by Yu Wan herself.
……
As night deepened and the entire city of Shengjing was shrouded in darkness, a candle suddenly lit up in a courtyard of the Prince Chen's residence.
It is Wang Wanshu's courtyard.
Ever since that day in the plum garden, when she realized that something was wrong with her whenever she saw Yu Wan, she has been afraid to go out.
Prince Chen sought out a master for her, who only said that her birth chart was incompatible with Yu Wan's.
To avoid this situation, avoid her.
Because of the master's words, Wang Wanshu has stopped going out recently and has refused all invitations from ladies and friends.
Although she didn't leave the mansion, Wang Wanshu still learned that Yun Shang and Yu Wan were going to hold a second wedding.
Yun Shang and Madam Shen personally delivered an invitation to Prince Chen at his residence.
When Yun Shang and Madam Shen arrived that day, Wang Wanshu stood behind the screen. She looked at Yun Shang and thought about what she had done in Shijia Village.
Wang Wanshu became very conflicted.
Two voices were still arguing within her.
One feeling is regret, self-blame, and guilt. She doesn't know how she could have harbored such malice towards Yu Wan, repeatedly framing and harming her.
Another was resentment and jealousy. The voice was like a demonic chant, constantly reminding her that she and Yun Shang should be a couple, that they were the right match.
That day, Wang Wanshu left the front hall as if fleeing.
But ever since that day, Wang Wanshu has started having nightmares all night again.
In her dream, she met, fell in love with Yunshang, and he painted her eyebrows and adorned her with flowers. He took her to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Dazhao.
Yun Shang wielded immense power in the court, and she was the envy of everyone as the wife of a powerful minister.
Suddenly, the dream shifted, and Yu Wan appeared in the scene.
Yun Shang's eyes were instantly drawn to Yu Wan, and he abandoned her without hesitation, walking towards Yu Wan.
Wang Wanshu shouted desperately from behind, but Yun Shang ignored her and walked away hand in hand with Yu Wan without turning his head.
At first, Wang Wanshu thought these dreams were utterly absurd, but as the same dreams appeared again and again, she gradually began to lose sight of the difference between dreams and reality.
She began to feel that Yun Shang should have originally belonged to her, and that Yu Wan had taken him away from her.
That night, Wang Wanshu woke up from a nightmare again, drenched in sweat, her pillow already soaked with tears.
She sat up abruptly, the struggle in her eyes gradually replaced by resentment and bitterness.
Yun Shanghe should be her husband!
"Master, are you having another nightmare?"
Hearing the commotion inside, Qiaobi hurriedly entered the room and was heartbroken to see Wang Wanshu in such a state.
She hurriedly stepped forward, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, mistress, I will stay here with you tonight."
Qiaobi truly loves her daughter.
I was perfectly healthy, but I don't know why I contracted this strange disease.
Wang Wanshu concealed the resentment and bitterness in her eyes, reached out and grabbed Qiaobi's hand as if she had grasped a lifeline.
When she looked up, her eyes were filled with fear and terror. "Chiao-bi, thank goodness you were here with me..."
Seeing her like this, Qiaobi felt even more heartache.
Her eyes reddened slightly: "The prince has also invited a master and a doctor for you, but why are your symptoms not getting better? In fact, they seem to be getting worse these past few days."
Qiaobi really couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
My master's condition had improved a lot after he stayed at home for a while.
Wang Wanshu, still shaken, gently shook her head: "...Perhaps it's because I haven't been out for too long."
Upon hearing this, Qiaobi thought to herself that her young lady had indeed not stepped out of the mansion for a long time, and was inevitably feeling depressed as she stayed cooped up inside all day.
Qiaobi whispered, "Tomorrow I will go and beg the Prince. The Prince cares about his mistress and will surely agree to let her go out of the manor to relax."
In fact, as long as Wang Wanshu doesn't cause trouble, Prince Chen won't restrict her freedom.
As Wang Wanshu listened to Qiaobi's words, she lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the calculation that flashed across her face.
