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

"Miss Yu!"

A student in a white robe walked up to her cheerfully, his smile bright and cheerful. "What are you doing here?"

Yu Wan thought for a moment and remembered the name of the person in front of her.

Zhou Shian.

Yu Wan smiled politely, "Young Master Zhou."

"I'm sending some things to Yunshang."

Upon hearing her address him by his full name, "Yun Shang," Zhou Shi'an's smile froze, and a hint of unease flashed across his face.

He then bowed and said humbly, "I was unaware of your identity before, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused. Please forgive me."

Yu Wan was surprised that Zhou Shi'an would apologize to her so solemnly. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and waved her hand, saying, "Ignorance is no excuse, and besides, you did not offend me. I should thank you for always supporting my business."

Zhou Shi'an was momentarily blinded by her smile and quickly looked away, saying, "We're all family, there's no need to be so polite."

"family?"

Zhou Shi'an sighed, looking dejected. "It seems that Brother Yunshang hasn't mentioned to my sister-in-law that my father wants to adopt Brother Yunshang as his godson, but Brother Yunshang hasn't agreed yet."

"But Brother Yunshang will definitely agree!"

Adopting the male lead as his godson?

After some recollection, Yu Wan finally managed to recall the information from the nooks and crannies.

The original text only used one sentence to describe it.

—Master Zhou of Huicheng County admired Yun Shang's talent and wanted to adopt him as his godson, but Yun Shang politely declined.

Looking at Zhou Shi'an's confident face, Yu Wan thought to herself that he was being a bit blindly optimistic.

Given the male protagonist's aloof nature, how could he possibly recognize a complete stranger as his godfather?

But instead of discouraging Zhou Shi'an, she asked, "Yun Shang didn't know I was coming today. Could you please go in and tell him for me, Young Master Zhou?"

Zhou Shi'an quickly smiled and said, "No need for that trouble, I'll just take you inside!"

"This isn't appropriate," Yu Wanzhi wanted to refuse.

If she enters the academy today, everyone at Bailu Academy will probably know that he has a child bride.

Wouldn't the male lead hate her to death?

Yu Wan shivered and refused repeatedly, "The academy is a quiet place, it's not appropriate for me to go. How about this, since Young Master Zhou is on good terms with Yun Shang, please help me pass on the things to him. Next time you come to buy food, I won't charge you!"

As she spoke, Yu Wan handed the bundle in her hand directly to Zhou Shi'an.

Zhou Shi'an frowned slightly, hesitated for two seconds, and then took the bundle.

He wanted to say something, but after his lips moved a few times, he swallowed the words back.

Yu Wan thought for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "There is one more thing."

“My husband doesn’t like me mentioning my relationship with him in front of outsiders. Young Master Zhou, you don’t need to call me sister-in-law. Just call me Miss Yu.”

After saying that, Yu Wan didn't linger any longer. She thanked him and turned to leave.

Zhou Shi'an stood there stunned and didn't call out to her. He watched her figure disappear from sight before walking into the academy with a sense of loss.

However, after walking a few steps, he saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Yunshang?!"

Yun Shang calmly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the bundle in Zhou Shi'an's arms.

He seemed to have just arrived, yet also as if he had been standing there for quite some time.

Zhou Shi'an jogged up to him, handed him the bundle, and said awkwardly, "...This is from Miss Yu."

Yun Shang didn't take it, but just looked at him indifferently.

Zhou Shi'an felt a chill run down his spine and said dejectedly, "Sister-in-law, I should call her Sister-in-law."

Yun Shang reached out and took the bundle, then turned and walked back.

Zhou Shi'an followed beside him, looking at his indifferent expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yun Shang, is Miss Yu really your wife? When did you get married? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

He hesitated for a moment, "Moreover, I noticed that Miss Yu was being too cautious with you. When I invited her to the hospital just now, she refused without thinking, fearing that she would disturb you."

"Shouldn't this be how couples should get along?"

Zhou Shi'an kept rambling on and on.

Yun Shang listened to his rambling without changing his expression.

Seeing that he didn't react, Zhou Shi'an suddenly stopped.

The smile on his face faded, and he stared at Yun Shang's expression. "Brother Yun Shang, you have no feelings for Miss Yu, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shang's expression finally softened slightly. She looked up at Zhou Shi'an and asked in a calm tone, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Shi'an took a deep breath and said, "Since Brother Yunshang has no interest in Miss Yu, why delay her? The girls of Huicheng do not mind remarrying after divorce. Since Brother Yunshang has no interest in Miss Yu, why not divorce her?"

Yun Shang showed no anger, but his tone was even more indifferent, "Zhou Shi'an, by what right do you lecture me?"

Zhou Shi'an, though unconvinced, was also quite assertive: "Because I like Miss Yu, and I can't bear to see her guarding such an ice-cold block like you!"

"She is already my wife."

"You can get a divorce even if you're married."

"Zhou Shi'an, one should not covet a friend's wife. Where has your knowledge gone?"

Zhou Shi'an retorted, "But you have no feelings for her, so why are you still clinging to her? Although I haven't known Miss Yu for long, I think she must be a genuine girl, optimistic and cheerful, like a little sun."

"But she mentioned you just now, with fear and caution. You don't like her at all, so why are you forcing her to stay?"

Yun Shang felt a surge of irritation.

Zhou Shi'an was simple-minded, straightforward, and couldn't keep secrets, so Yun Shang wasn't surprised that he would say these things.

But ironically, the person he was talking to so much was Yu Wan.

He'd only known Yu Wan for a few days. Did he even know what kind of person Yu Wan was?

How does he know that the person who wants a divorce isn't him?

Yun Shang tightened her grip on her hands at her sides, raised her eyes to stare into Zhou Shi'an's eyes, and said, word by word, "Zhou Shi'an, Yu Wan is not as innocent and kind as you think. Stay away from her."

Zhou Shi'an was shocked that he would slander Yu Wan, and angrily retorted, "You're being unreasonable! Miss Yu is your wife, how can you say such things about her!"

Yun Shang couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Zhou Shi'an, eat more walnuts to nourish your brain."

Leaving those words behind, Yun Shang turned and left.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wan has changed her strategy and learned to win over the people around him.

Although Zhou Shi'an is simple-minded, he is not stupid. Unless Yu Wan's acting skills are already superb, how could she have fooled Zhou Shi'an so easily?

What exactly does Yu Wan want to do?

Yu Wan never expected that her attempt to gain favor by sending a bundle would backfire and result in her receiving negative points.

She is currently strolling around Huicheng County.

Yu Wan had considered it carefully; selling Bobo Chicken was definitely not a long-term solution.

Students are currently enjoying the novelty of Bo Bo Chicken, which is why it sells so well. However, once the novelty wears off, the number of customers will definitely decrease sharply, and business will certainly suffer a lot.

Most importantly, if she only relies on selling pot-boiled chicken at a stall, when will she ever earn enough money to return to Shengjing?

She went to the security escort agency in Huicheng County to inquire.

The cheapest escort agency in Huicheng County offers protection for guests traveling to Shengjing, costing at least 500 taels of silver per trip.

Five hundred taels of silver!

This is an astronomical price for Yu Wan!

However, she could understand why the price was so high.

The world was unstable, and there were many bandits on the road. Those who ran escort agencies risked their lives, as they never knew when something might happen. Naturally, such dangerous work paid a high price.

While pondering this, Yu Wan inadvertently noticed a plaque and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
