The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

"I……"

Meeting Yun Shang's dark eyes, alarm bells rang in Wang Wanshu's mind, and she dared not utter any more excuses.

She believed she knew Yunshang well enough.

Given his current appearance, he must have some doubts about her.

If she keeps making excuses to keep him here, Yun Shang will definitely stop believing her.

It seems... we need to act quickly.

Thinking of this, Wang Wanshu slowly loosened her tightly clenched hands, smiled at Yun Shang, and said, "If my husband really wants to go back, then let's go back."

"I'll ask the doctor later if my husband's injury has fully healed and if it's convenient for him to travel."

Yun Shang looked at her and nodded slightly.

He was now almost certain that the woman in front of him was hiding something from him.

……

The night was deep, and the bustling Huicheng County was brightly lit, but there were always places that the light couldn't reach.

In the quiet, winding alley, two girls of similar height supported each other as they rested against the wall.

Atana asked softly, "Sister Yu, where are we?"

Yu Wan looked around and lowered her voice as well, "We've just entered Huicheng. This is Chang Le Fang in Huicheng. This place is a mixed bag, so our presence here will be the least noticeable to others."

Caution is the boat.

Yu Wan had to be more careful.

They are now facing more than one wave of assassins.

She didn't know how many people dressed in black had died in the explosion in Yanji, and she wasn't sure if any of them had managed to survive.

As for her side, she was also unsure whether the people behind the mine or the people on Qi Wang's side were still watching her and Yun Shang.

Therefore, Yu Wan's first thought was not to go directly back to the Yun family, but to come to Chang Le Fang.

Chang Le Fang is a chaotic place with all sorts of people, and even the most discerning eyes can't keep track of it.

She just couldn't go back to the Yun family, and she couldn't tell Shen Shi and Yun Xi that she was safe and sound for the time being.

Atana knew nothing about the outside world. When she heard the unfamiliar name "Changlefang," her eyes dimmed as if she had thought of something.

She said softly, "We don't have a Chang Le Fang (Happiness Lane) in our area, but we do have a Chang Le Tree. My father said that this Chang Le Tree was planted by his father and has been growing in the Yanji area for over a hundred years..."

Yu Wan did not interrupt Atana's recollection.

Overnight, the entire clan was wiped out, and they didn't even know who had caused it.

Such pain is beyond what ordinary people can endure.

Yu Wan simply patted Atana's shoulder, offering her silent comfort.

After a while, Atana wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and said with a tearful smile, "Sister Yu, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Yu Wan reached out and hugged her.

He quietly changed the subject, "It's getting late, let's find a place to stay in Chang Le Fang tonight."

Atana nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll listen to Sister Yu."

The two supported each other as they walked out of the alley.

Yu Wan had never been to Chang Le Fang before; her knowledge of it came solely from Yun Shang's account.

The appearance of the two young women attracted a lot of attention, but this was quite common in Chang Le Fang. Yu Wan secretly told Atana not to worry about it.

The inns in Chang Le Fang were all clustered together in one place. Following the directions Yun Shang gave her, Yu Wan searched for them all the way there.

Her legs weren't fully healed yet; it had taken them a day and a night to escape from Wushaoling, and now they were in so much pain that they had lost all feeling.

She can't walk any further.

Seeing a small inn not far away, Yu Wan said directly, "How about we stay there tonight?"

Atana nodded obediently, "I'll do whatever Sister Yu says."

Being called "sister" by everyone, Yu Wan's smile never faded.

As she and Atana walked to the entrance of the station, she heard another voice call out, "Sister Yu!"

"Atana." Yu Wan tilted her head in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Atana also looked puzzled and whispered to her, "Sister Yu, it sounds like someone is calling you."

Yu Wan: "?"

Does she have acquaintances in Chang Le Fang?

She looked around in surprise, and then she heard that voice again, "Sister Yu, it really is you!"

Yu Wan and Atana both lowered their heads at the same time.

Then they saw a little girl who was more than half a head shorter than them.

Yu Wan looked at her for a while, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Er Ya? You're Er Ya?"

The little girl in front of me, dressed in plain cotton clothes and with a fair and clean face, was the same little girl that Yu Wan had met in the dilapidated temple when she was kidnapped by Yu San Niang.

Yu Wan was unconscious for several days after being poisoned by Xi Yunxiang. When she woke up, the girls who had been captured by human traffickers had already been properly taken care of by the government.

Yu Wan inquired about Er Ya's situation and learned that she was doing well, so she didn't bother her anymore.

I never expected to run into Er Ya in Chang Le Fang.

Er Ya was also overjoyed and reached out to grab Yu Wan's sleeve, "Sister Yu, what are you doing at Chang Le Fang?"

Yu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I have some personal matters to attend to."

Er Ya was a very clever girl. Hearing this, she knew that it was inconvenient for her to say too much. She looked around and said, "Sister Yu, do you want to stay at an inn? It's easy to encounter unscrupulous inns here. If Sister Yu doesn't mind, why don't you stay at my place for the night?"

"Where do you live?" Yu Wan asked in surprise. "You're currently staying in Chang Le Fang?"

Er Ya actually lives in Chang Le Fang?!

Er Ya nodded, tugged at her sleeve and shook it, "Sister Yu, let's go back and talk about it."

"This older sister can stay with us too," she said, glancing shyly at Atana.

This was the first time Atana had met a young girl who had spoken to her so proactively. Her cheeks flushed inexplicably, and she replied softly, "Thank you."

Er Ya smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The three of them arrived at Er Ya's place together.

Er Ya's home is just a small house, but the little girl has decorated it very warmly.

After Yu Wan asked her, she learned that Er Ya was now considered an unofficial staff member of the government.

Seeing her cleverness and the fact that she was an orphan, Prince Chen and Magistrate Yang sent her to infiltrate Chang Le Fang and secretly gather information about the human traffickers.

Yu San Niang was not the only one in Chang Le Fang who engaged in child trafficking.

Since the local government couldn't get involved, Er Ya became the best candidate.

Upon learning that Er Ya had volunteered to come and gather information, Yu Wan couldn't help but praise her repeatedly.

Back in the dilapidated temple, Er Ya displayed remarkable calmness, boldness, and intelligence, and now it seems that this was indeed the case.

She believed that with Er Ya's boldness and intelligence, she would definitely have a good life in the future.

After telling her about herself, Er Ya asked Yu Wan why she was in Chang Le Fang and why she didn't go home.

Yu Wan thought for a moment, then a brilliant idea flashed in her mind. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Er Ya and said excitedly, "Er Ya, could you please run an errand for me tomorrow?"

Er Ya didn't know what she was going to do, but she agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, whatever Sister Yu wants me to help with, Er Ya will do it."

So the next morning, Er Ya went to the Yun family with a letter dictated by Yu Wan.
