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

Yun Shang's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and she nodded slightly.

He took the book, glanced at it a few times, and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it."

The two constables standing nearby quickly said, "Don't worry, young master, we'll handle this."

"Yu Niang," Yun Shang said in a cold voice, "you may leave now."

Yu Wan held the book, her eyes flickering.

Is the male protagonist planning to stay and "remind" the two constables not to reveal that she is a slave?

According to the original work, outsiders only know that Yun Shang has a child bride, but they do not know that this child bride is actually a slave.

If word gets out, it might damage Yun Shang's reputation.

Otherwise, why would a promising disciple of the White Deer Academy's dean marry a slave?

Yu Wan wisely walked away.

She walked straight out of the county government office, intending to wait for him outside.

When they reached the entrance of the county government office, they suddenly stopped.

That feeling of being secretly watched has returned!

Yu Wan couldn't help but wail inwardly.

Are all the paper figures in this book ghosts? They all like to secretly watch others!

She looked back, and unsurprisingly, found nothing.

Yu Wan turned her head nonchalantly and walked out while pondering.

Yun Shang is still at the household registration office, so the person secretly spying on her cannot be Yun Shang.

Who could it be? And why would they notice her?

For some reason, Yu Wan thought of the glittering gold hairpin necklace she had seen earlier.

A woman who could wear such precious jewelry could not possibly be a peasant girl, but in her memory, the original owner did not know any rich young ladies.

As Yu Wan was lost in thought, a voice suddenly called out to her from the side.

"Girl, stay."

She turned around and saw a pretty maid with her hair styled in two buns.

The maidservant gave her a slight bow and spoke in a very polite tone, "Miss, my master would like to meet you for a chat."

Although the other party was very polite, Yu Wan did not miss the fleeting contempt in her eyes.

She smiled and did not refuse.

The master behind this maid might be the one who was spying on her just now.

The maidservant led her all the way to the back of the county government office, through a long corridor, and past a garden full of plants, until they finally arrived at their destination.

A pavilion built by the water, with gauze curtains hanging all around it, and hot tea on the stone table slowly steaming.

All of this suggests that someone had previously brewed tea and enjoyed the scenery here.

The maidservant stopped outside the pavilion and said with a smile, "My master accidentally spilled tea on his clothes and is changing them. Please wait a moment, young lady."

Yu Wan nodded with a smile as well.

"Excuse me."

After saying this, the maid turned and left. Yu Wan watched her retreating figure and narrowed her eyes.

Maids raised in aristocratic families are different from those raised by ordinary wealthy people; clearly, the maid who led her was from the former category.

The fabric of her turquoise dress was probably the most expensive Yanyun satin sold in Huiyunfang, the largest tailor shop in Huicheng County.

The smoke and cloud satin fabric is smooth and elegant, with a dense texture, yet as light and soft as smoke and clouds.

Even wealthy girls in Huicheng County would have to think twice before buying Yanyun satin.

A family that can afford to dress its maids in brocade must have a rich and powerful background.

Before the family reunion, the original owner of this body could not have known such a person.

Yu Wan lowered her head and pondered to herself. The surroundings were quiet and silent, as if she were the only person in the vast place.

Outside the county government office.

Yun Shang frowned.

He thought Yu Wan would be waiting for him at the door, but when he came out, he didn't see her at all.

He was about to ask the guards at the entrance of the county government office when he saw a carriage stop there.

The person inside the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing Cui Mulian.

He said to Yun Shang, "Is the matter finished? Perfect, come back to the academy with me."

Yun Shang hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the carriage.

……

The charcoal fire in the stove on the stone table was about to go out, and the teapot that had been steaming was gradually cooling down.

This pavilion was in a windy spot, and Yu Wan was certain that the mistress behind that maid was deliberately causing her trouble.

However, the original owner disguised himself very well and offended almost no one in Huicheng County.

It's even less likely that they would offend any noble or high-status young lady.

Rubbing her cold hands, Yu Wan stood up expressionlessly.

Following my memory, I walked out, and just as I turned the corner, I saw four burly old women guarding the intersection.

When they saw Yu Wan, their expressions immediately turned fierce.

One of the old women stepped forward, speaking very politely, but giving Yu Wan no room to refuse.

"Miss, my master is still changing his clothes, please wait a moment."

Yu Wan took a deep breath.

"I've been waiting for half an hour. What does your master want with me? If she's busy, I'll come again next time."

"I still have something to do."

The old woman seemed not to have heard Yu Wan's words at all and blocked her way.

With a threatening look in his eyes, he said, "Miss, please go back and sit down. Your master will be here soon."

Yu Wan frowned slightly, her tone turning cold, "What exactly do you want to do?"

The old woman raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Wan with contempt. "Girl, I advise you to be sensible. My master told you to wait, so just wait. Otherwise, we can't guarantee you'll leave the county office unscathed."

"County government office? You still know this is a county government office?" Yu Wan sneered. "I don't know your master, and I have no grudge against her. You're detaining me in the county government office. Do you have no regard for the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty?"

The old woman laughed loudly, her face full of sarcasm, "Even the county magistrate has to grovel before our master."

"Girl, let me give you a piece of advice: stay put and wait for our master to see you whenever he wants."

She didn't want to say anything more to Yu Wan, so she turned and left.

He suddenly stopped and turned back to warn, "By the way, young lady, remember to behave yourself, otherwise we'll have to make you more obedient."

Yu Wan's expression darkened slightly.

Watching the old woman walk back to the intersection to stand guard.

This place is by the lake, and there is only one road leading out. These old women are guarding the entrance, clearly not intending to let her go.

Judging from their attitude, Yu Wan felt that she probably wouldn't see the "master" they were talking about until dark.

She was too impulsive.

I should have known better than to come with that little maid so easily...

No, that's not right!

If the master behind that little maid is more important than the county magistrate, then it's not a question of whether she wants to come or not.

Even if she had refused at the time, she would probably have been arrested immediately.

She was certain she hadn't offended anyone.

Moreover, according to the original work, at this time, there were no distinguished guests of high status who could completely suppress the county magistrate and came to Huicheng County.

Yu Wan could only return to the pavilion, where it wasn't much warmer, but it was better than nothing.

She wasn't sure if Yun Shang would look for her after he came out and found her missing, so she couldn't place her hopes on Yun Shang.

The only thing I can do is find a way to get out of here...
