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

The temperature has plummeted in the past few days, and the cold wind is biting. Yu Wan is comfortably nestled at home by the fire.

The Yun family is currently not short of money, and Madam Shen is very generous, purchasing a lot of charcoal and grain, so the three of them are living a very comfortable life.

However, in the blink of an eye, it was time for Yun Shang to take his ten-day vacation.

Yu Wan didn't care too much about whether Yun Shang was home or not, but since morning, Shen Shi had been looking at her with a mysterious gaze that made Yu Wan's skin crawl.

Yu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Mother-in-law, is there something you want to tell me?"

Madam Shen smiled and shook her head, only glancing at Yu Wan's clothes. She frowned and said, "Yu Wan, I had the village embroiderer make you a new dress. Try it on later."

It's not about making new clothes for holidays or festivals.

Yu Wan was puzzled, but Shen had already pushed her into the room to change her clothes.

The clothes were placed on the wooden table inside the room.

It's made of soft cotton fabric, and the light red fabric is embroidered with large, delicate clusters of hibiscus flowers, clearly made with great care.

Such a garment would cost at least ten taels of silver.

Yu Wan felt a pang of regret, but when she thought about how this was Shen's intention, she felt a warm glow in her heart.

No one has ever prepared a gift specifically for her.

Yu Wan smiled and changed her clothes.

Shen had a keen eye; she could tell her size just by looking at her.

The light red cross-front long dress was the perfect size, and the cinched waist made her waist look incredibly slender and full.

The clothes were form-fitting, but Yu Wan didn't feel they were too tight.

She walked outside, intending to let Mrs. Shen take a look.

As I pushed open the door, about to speak, I met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Yu Wan froze, her smile faltering.

"You...you're back?"

Yun Shang looked at the girl so close to him, a barely perceptible dark glint flashing in his deep eyes.

Yu Wan's clothes are mostly dark colors such as dirt-resistant gray and brown, and she almost never wears such bright and charming water-red clothes.

As far as I can remember, just like the clothes she always wore, Yu Wan was always gray and dull, not the kind of person you would want to look at twice.

But looking at the pretty and lively girl in front of him...

Yun Shang realized for the first time that Yu Wan was actually quite beautiful.

Her oval face was smooth and full, with delicate and petite features. Her clear and bright eyes were lively and captivating, making people want to take a closer look.

Yun Shang's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened slightly. His expression remained calm and composed, and his tone was completely indifferent. "Mm."

Yu Wan: "..."

So cold.

I'm curious how the female lead managed to fall in love with such an ice block.

After mentally complaining a few times, Yu Wan subtly distanced herself from Yun Shang and said somewhat awkwardly, "This...this is a new dress my mother-in-law made for me. She asked me to wear it and show it to her."

"Ah."

Yu Wan: "..."

Sure enough! You can't say a single word to this person!

Yu Wan couldn't help but glare at him before storming off in a huff.

Yun Shang stared at her retreating figure for a long time, lost in thought.

His mind was filled with the images he had just witnessed.

The brightly dressed girl had lively eyes and a slightly flushed face. Her gaze at him was shy and timid, as if carrying a hint of coy reluctance.

What he found unacceptable was that he didn't feel disgusted at all.

……

"I knew this color would suit you perfectly!" Madam Shen praised Yu Wan highly, looking her over carefully several times.

She then lowered her voice and whispered with a smile, "Did Yun Shang see you just now? How was it? Was he amazed?"

amazing?

More like terrifying.

LOL, how could the male lead possibly be impressed by a cannon fodder female supporting character like her?

Yu Wan silently complained, lowered her head slightly, and whispered, "I don't know either..."

In Shen's eyes, this was her being shy.

The smile on Shen's face deepened.

Yunshang is her son. She wouldn't say she knows him perfectly, but she knows him to some extent.

He is thoughtful and rarely shows his emotions, so the girl he truly loves must be someone like Yu Wan, who is simple-minded, lively, and adorable.

Especially now, Yu Wan is becoming more and more lively and adorable.

If her affection for Yu Wan was eight parts before, it's now twelve parts.

She didn't believe that her silly son was truly indifferent to Yu Wan.

Madam Shen glanced at the shy Yu Wan and said in a serious tone, "Yunxi's medicine is almost finished. Yu Niang, go with Yun Shang to find Master Feng and get some more medicine."

Yu Wan's mind raced.

She hasn't been idle at home these past few days; she goes to the house next door where Old Man Feng lives every day to help tidy up the herbs.

Finally, after much persuasion, Old Man Feng agreed to treat Yun Shang and Yun Xi's old ailments.

Yunxi has already started taking the medicine prescribed by Old Man Feng, but Yunshang doesn't know about it yet!

This is a perfect opportunity to win their favor!

Yu Wan readily agreed, "I'll take him with me right away."

Yu Wan was certain that Yun Shang wouldn't want to go out with her alone, but it didn't matter; it was Shen Shi's order, and he had to go whether he wanted to or not.

Back inside, Yun Shang was sitting at the table reading a book.

She cleared her throat and said, "Yun Shang, Mother wants you to come with me to Mr. Feng's house."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yun Shang's brows furrow slightly.

He was silent for a few seconds, then stood up, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Let's go."

Old Feng's rented house is about 200 meters away from the Yun family's house, which takes a few minutes to walk.

Yun Shang was tall and had long legs, so he didn't deliberately slow down, and Yu Wan was soon left behind by him.

Yu Wan tried to keep up with him, but she got out of breath as she walked too fast.

But even though she was sweating profusely, she still couldn't catch up with the man in front of her.

Yu Wan was so angry that she stopped and cursed Yun Shang in her mind before slowly following after him.

Yun Shang, who was walking ahead, had a hint of a smile in his eyes.

But soon he realized he was actually laughing, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yu Wan was completely unaware.

Upon arriving at Old Man Feng's courtyard, Yu Wan familiarly pushed open the gate and called out, "Old Man Feng, I'm here again!"

A moment later, a short, old man appeared at the door carrying a mortar and pestle. He glared at Yu Wan with annoyance, "Why are you here again? Didn't I already agree to treat your husband's illness? Why are you bothering me again?"

Yun Shang's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Yu Wan beside him.

Yu Wan seemed oblivious to his gaze as she walked into the courtyard, smiling obsequiously at Old Man Feng, "Old Mr. Feng, how could this be considered a bother? I came here to help you because I saw you were working too hard all by yourself."

Old Feng glanced at her, then told her to come inside, though he didn't mean it. He then looked at Yun Shang, who was still standing there, and beckoned to him, "You're here just in time. Come here, let me take your pulse."

Yun Shang was slightly taken aback. Seeing Yu Wan already busily working inside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that Yu Wan has been trying to curry favor with Mr. Feng in order to persuade him to treat her illness?
