A hint of hatred flashed in Wueryun's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly in anger.
It was obvious that she was going to push Lin Yiwan into the water, and then when she was about to drown, she would lure Min Xiang to rescue her.
By then, the two of them will have physical contact.
With the publicity from the noble ladies around her, Lin Yiwan's reputation will be completely ruined.
The original plan was very sound, so why did something unexpected happen?
Seeing her silence, Minister Min took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, please show your gratitude to the Marquis Zhan and his wife for saving your life!"
Wueryun subconsciously refused: "No, she was the one who kept pulling me when I was in the water. She even deliberately pushed my head into the water. Otherwise, how could I, who can swim, drink so much water?"
Zhan Yan's face suddenly darkened, and he said sharply, "So, Your Highness the Princess can swim. Then, you deliberately made my wife fall into the water, wasn't that a deliberate attempt to murder her?"
Wueryun bit her tongue regretfully. How could she have told the truth?
She felt guilty and tried to argue, "I know a little bit, but in the end, I was the one who was almost drowned. Isn't Lin Yiwan fine?"
Zhan Yan snorted coldly, "That's because I arrived just in time. If anything were to happen to my wife, I would definitely seek justice from the King of Li!"
Wueryun was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. How could she forget that the man in front of her was the most mighty warrior on the battlefield.
The Li Kingdom's army suffered defeats at his hands many times, and my father was extremely wary of him.
She must not be offended!
Enduring the humiliation, she trembled and sobbed, "Marquis Zhan Yi, it's my fault. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you and the Marquis' wife?"
Before Zhan Yan could say anything, a voice mixed with anxiety and anger suddenly rang out: "No!"
Wueryun turned around in panic and met the saint's sharp eyes that were filled with coldness.
She quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Aunt, calm down. Yun'er really didn't mean to plot against the Marquis. I just wanted to personally take her to appreciate the black lotus you cultivated!"
The Saint's face was filled with anger. She coldly scolded, "As a princess of a country, you are so ignorant of etiquette. I am really disappointed. Now that you are getting married soon, I will not hurt you anymore. Someone, keep her in the dark room until the wedding day and then release her!"
Wu Eryun was so frightened that her whole body was shaking violently. She shook her head vigorously: "Aunt, I don't want to be locked up in the dark room. I'm scared. Please, don't lock me up. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again!"
The saint turned a deaf ear and let several old maids drag Wueryun away.
After the scene quieted down, she let out a long breath and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, are you satisfied with the way I handled the princess?"
She did not meet Zhan Yan's gaze, but her seemingly calm tone revealed her uneasiness and nervousness.
Zhan Yan also had mixed emotions. He stared at her back with a dazed look on his face.
Lin Yiwan quietly held his hand and whispered, "Husband, I'm here!"
Zhan Yan shuddered all over and said quickly, "I am very satisfied with the Saint's thundering methods, but I still have to say one thing: if your princess dares to harm my wife again, I will kill her! I will take my wife and leave now, and will not disturb you again!"
His tone was so cold and distant that the saint's heart began to beat wildly.
He actually cares about Lin Yiwan so much?
For her, he even said such cruel words!
Seeing that the couple was about to leave, a look of anxiety flashed across Min Xiang's face.
He spoke quickly, "Marquis Zhan Yi, I'd like to discuss the details of the princess's wedding with you. Why don't we go to the study and talk for a moment?"
Zhan Yan looked at Lin Yiwan with a struggle on his face.
She nodded gently: "Okay, I'll accompany my husband!"
The two came to Min Xiang's study, and the saint arrived soon after.
Her excited eyes fell on Zhan Yan, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Minister Min dismissed his attendants and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to approach the study without my order!"
Everyone immediately retreated far away, and there was no one around.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stagnant. Mr. and Mrs. Zhan Yan stood side by side, while the Saint Girl seemed somewhat uneasy.
She felt like there were thousands of words spinning on the tip of her tongue, but in the end, all she said was: "Are you okay?"
Zhan Yan was stunned at first, then he realized that she was probably asking about the rumors about his life experience.
He answered without hesitation: "Of course it's okay. Now everyone knows that my biological mother is dead!"
"Bang!" The tea bowl in the saint's hand was overturned in an instant, and water splashed out. She felt so much pain that her eyes turned red.
Lin Yiwan hurried forward: "Are you burned?"
The Saint hurriedly shook her head: "No, thank you Wanwan!"
She grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist tightly, with pleading and guilt in her eyes.
She knew that she had no right to go forward and recognize her son, but he was her flesh and blood after all.
Over the years, her memory has been hazy, but the only thing she can't forget is how he looked when he was just born.
His little face was wrinkled and his crying was particularly loud.
At that time, Mrs. Zhan was very disgusted. She said that the child was so ugly!
She was so drowsy that she couldn't open her eyes, but she knew that he must not be ugly. His mother was so beautiful, how could he be ugly?
They say sons take after their mothers!
She held Lin Yiwan's fingers tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She knew that Zhan Yan had had a hard time these years, but with her status, she didn't know how to compensate him.
Lin Yiwan understood her thoughts very well. She whispered, "Saint, I've seen him. He's very good!"
The saint suddenly froze. Yes, this was the best outcome.
She couldn't let him get caught up in the storm again!
She immediately took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "Look at me! I was just scalded by hot water and I cried because of the pain. I'm really becoming more and more unable to tolerate even the slightest injustice!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, I'll leave you a bottle of burn ointment later!"
The Saint said with guilt, "I'm sorry for making you suffer. Yun'er has been spoiled by her father, the King, and she acts capriciously and without regard for the consequences. If it weren't for her upcoming wedding date, I would definitely punish her severely!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "The Saint Daughter has no need to blame herself. Her father dotes on her, but not everyone should dote on her. Especially now that she has come to the Sheng Dynasty, she shouldn't act recklessly, or she will pay the price!"
The saint subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan beside her, but he turned his face away and did not meet her gaze.
She felt a wave of loss in her heart, and her spirit became weak in an instant.
She sighed helplessly, "It's getting late, you should go back. Take the black lotus with you, it's just a token of my appreciation for you!"
Zhan Yan spoke without hesitation: "Thank you for your generosity, Saint. I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, he pulled Lin Yiwan away quickly.
After watching his figure disappear, the saint covered her face and cried.
She murmured in grief and anger: "Who understands my suffering? My biological son is right in front of me, but I can't recognize him. What should I do?"
Min Xiang walked in from outside, his eyes full of heartache.
