Yu Shuyan quickly observed the expressions of Zhou Ruifen and the others.

When Gong Xicheng ordered her to be dragged away, without immediately breaking her arms and legs or chopping her up on the spot, Zhou Ruifen's face showed deep disappointment. She immediately looked at Situ Yue, who had been standing quietly in front of the door.

But when she saw that Situ Yue's gaze was calmly fixed on Yu Shuyan.

The disappointment in Zhou Ruifen's eyes faded considerably in an instant. Instead, a hint of triumphant satisfaction crept into her gaze as she looked at Yu Shuyan with a look of pity.

Yu Shuyan felt a slight stirring in her heart; she had a bad feeling about it.

It seems that Zhou Ruifen sent her fake posts not only to embarrass her, but also for some other purpose.

However, she had a feeling that it was related to Situ Yue, but she couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

However, after learning who was targeting her and confirming that the conspiracy was related to Situ Yue.

She has achieved her goal in coming here.

Gong Xicheng's decision to send her to the Lingjin City government prison actually helped her.

After all, given Cui Rongxing's respect for Yuan Niangzi, he wouldn't do anything to her. He would definitely release her quickly due to insufficient evidence.

However, out of the corner of her eye, Yu Shuyan noticed Wen Lang, who was hiding behind others, staring at her with disgust, not wanting anyone to notice that he was related to her.

Suddenly, she changed her mind.

Firstly, Wen Lang was already viewed with suspicion and hostility by many because of Ouyang Feng's affair with the fake doctor who actually poisoned someone, even if they didn't hold a grudge against him. How could he suddenly be allowed to attend the banquet hosted by the Prime Minister's daughter?

Moreover, the Prime Minister is a close associate of Changning. Could it be that Wen Lang has already become involved with Changning?

It wasn't that she overthought things; rather, the events of her past life forced her to think about them more.

If she doesn't figure out whether he and Changning have a relationship now, she will be in a very passive position.

Secondly, having experienced what happened in her previous life, her mindset was completely different. She knew that swallowing her anger and compromising would not bring the perpetrators to their knees, but would only encourage them to take advantage of her.

So, since they dared to harm her, then they should bear the consequences they deserve!

In a flash, Yu Shuyan had an idea. She pretended to be panicked and ran towards Wen Lang.

Before he could react, she had already grabbed his sleeve:

"My lord, save me! Please tell them I'm not a spy, I'm your wife!"

Everyone looked at Wen Lang in surprise.

Some, even those who resented him for being able to get close to Princess Changning, had a mocking look in their eyes, as if they were watching a good show.

Wen Lang realized what was happening, his face turned extremely ugly, and he tried to shake off Yu Shuyan's tightly clenched hand.

Yu Shuyan pretended to be heartbroken by his actions, and tears streamed down her face.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of being dragged down by me, so you don't want to acknowledge me as your wife? Husband, you can't be so heartless!"

Wen Lang's expression at this moment was beyond just being described as ugly:

That bitch is not only stupid, but she also causes so much trouble.

He had assumed that once she received his warning look, she would obediently keep quiet about their relationship.

Unexpectedly, she not only did not hide their relationship, but also accused him of being heartless and cruel if he did not care about her.

If she hadn't said that, he could have maintained his righteousness by putting aside family ties for the greater good.

However, if he were to actually betray his own family for the greater good after she said that, it would make everyone think that he was wicked, heartless, and cruel.

Yu Shuyan sensed his suppressed anger, and inwardly sneered, but continued aloud:

"Husband, I am your wife! If I am suspected of being a spy, then you, as my closest person, are the prime suspects! Speak up now, or we'll both end up in jail!"

At this moment, Wen Lang was so angry that he almost fainted.

How did it come to the point where he's going to jail with me?

Although he desperately didn't want to admit that he had a relationship with her, and was extremely unwilling to plead for her, he wished she would just be killed on the spot, let alone be arrested and imprisoned.

However, with so many eyes watching, if he doesn't speak up, he'll only face more criticism.

Wen Lang suppressed the urge to strangle Yu Shuyan and tried to maintain a gentle expression before speaking.

"You're a spy, you're the spy! Why do you have to drag Young Master Wen into this? He's just a victim, okay? He was deceived by you. And you actually want to use him as a scapegoat? How can you be so vicious!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ruifen stared angrily at Yu Shuyan and questioned her.

Zhou Guoye simply closed her eyes, speechless.

The meaning behind that expression couldn't be clearer: how did I end up with such a stupid younger sister?

Everyone stared at her in surprise, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Zhou Ruifen realized that her behavior had been too abrupt. Looking embarrassed, she hurriedly explained:

"I...I just...yes, I just think that this woman, a spy, even on her deathbed, was still thinking of framing the pillars of our Great Yong. It's really despicable."

Everyone's eyes held a mixture of belief and doubt.

Yu Shuyan, feigning surprise, looked at Zhou Ruifen:

"Oh dear, Miss Zhou, you truly have the world on your mind. My husband has just passed the imperial examination and hasn't been appointed to an official position yet, but Miss Zhou already knows he is a pillar of the nation. I really don't know if Miss Zhou is concerned about all the talented young men, or if she only cares about my husband!"

The meaning behind her words couldn't be clearer.

The Dayong aristocratic family has always advocated that women should stay at home to ensure stability in the household, support their husbands, and raise their children.

Yu Shuyan said that Zhou Ruifen had the world in her heart, which was referring to her as someone who was not content to stay at home.

When asked whether she was interested in all the talented men or only Wen Lang, she replied...

Regardless of how she replies or not, she will leave people with the impression that she is too unrestrained and frivolous.

"Of course I am~"

Zhou Ruifen already disliked her, and was provoked by her. Before she could think things through, she realized that no response would be appropriate.

She abruptly stopped speaking, glaring angrily at Yu Shuyan, her face full of grievance.

Yu Shuyan nodded and followed her words:

"Of course you are... what? Why aren't you saying anything!"

Zhou Ruifen gritted her teeth, her face turning red:

"You~you~me~me~"

However, after talking for a long time, we still couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, a look of grievance appeared on Yu Shuyan's face as well:

"Since Miss Zhou can't say it, then let me say it for you."
