Chapter 37: A Double Kill Between the Male and Female Protagonists

When Mingwei left, Min'an Hall left behind a large pile of expensive gifts, as well as a small plate of silver ingots covered with a red cloth.

Looking at these things, Madam Shen felt uneasy.

With such a generous apology, how wealthy must the person who made things difficult for Yu Niang be?

Can they really get justice for Yu Niang?

When Elder Feng came to deliver medicine to Yu Wan, he frowned upon seeing so much stuff. "What's going on here?"

Madam Shen sighed and told him what had just happened.

Old Feng was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide. "Wan'er almost lost her life, and these people just casually sent a servant over, thinking they could shut us up with these things?"

"If that brat Yun Shang dares to accept it, I'll poison him with a bowl of medicine!"

Ms. Shen was both amused and exasperated.

She knew that Old Feng meant well and didn't take his words to heart.

He said gently, "Don't worry, Elder Feng, I believe Yun Shang knows what he's doing."

Old Master Feng snorted coldly and went into the room to feed Yu Wan her medicine.

Yu Wan only woke up briefly for half an hour in the morning before falling back asleep.

Some of the medicines in Master Feng's prescriptions contain sleep-aiding ingredients, so Yu Wan's excessive sleepiness is normal.

And when you sleep well, your body detoxifies faster.

……

When Yu Wan woke up again, it was already evening. It was dusk outside, and she was the only one in the empty room. This gave Yu Wan the illusion that she had escaped from the gates of death.

Madam Shen pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that Yu Wan was awake, she was overjoyed. "Yu Niang, you're finally awake!"

“Mother-in-law.” Yu Wan’s eyes trembled slightly. Seeing the dark circles under Shen’s eyes, she felt even more touched and bittersweet.

No one had ever cared about her like this before.

Madam Shen put down the hot porridge she was carrying and helped her sit up halfway. She asked with concern, "Yu Niang, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that hurts? I'll go and call Old Master Feng over to take a look at you."

Yu Wan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Shen's arm, shaking her head with a smile, "Mother-in-law, I'm fine."

"Please sit down and rest. I have some questions for you."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen already guessed what she wanted to ask.

She sat down on a small stool and told Yu Wan in detail what happened while she was unconscious.

“…Just now, a nobleman’s subordinate came to offer an apology gift, and Mother couldn’t refuse, so she had to leave those things behind for the time being. But don’t worry, when Yunshang returns, he will definitely return those things.”

“That nobleman almost killed you, but he only wants to appease us with these material possessions. Mother will not let this go.”

“Although our family is poor, we are not greedy for his little things. We are far inferior to them in status and cannot make them pay any price, but at least they should come to our door to apologize in person…”

Shen kept talking, her eyes full of heartache for Yu.

Yu Wan fell into deep thought.

Who exactly is targeting her?

She asked somewhat impatiently, "Mother-in-law, do you know who that important person is?"

Madam Shen shook her head. "I don't know, but Mother has already asked Yun Shang to inquire. He has a wide network of connections, so he probably already has the information."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door.

The man stood in the doorway, blocking the light. Most of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

When Madam Shen saw him, she quickly waved, "Yun Shang, come here quickly, I have something to ask you."

Yun Shang walked over calmly and said to Madam Shen, "Mother, could you please step out for a moment? I would like to speak with Madam Yu alone for a few minutes."

He wanted to be alone with Yu Wan, which Shen Shi was more than happy to do. She didn't say anything more, got up and left, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Yu Wan didn't have a chance to speak the entire time.

Once the room quieted down, only she and Yun Shang remained.

Ever since realizing that Yun Shang had actually broken into the county government office to save her, Yu Wan had felt a strange mix of emotions, and now she always felt a little guilty when she looked at Yun Shang.

She didn't understand for a moment where this guilty conscience came from.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Yu Wan hesitated before asking, "What do you want to tell me?"

Yun Shang looked down at her, his eyes dark and deep.

Looking into Yu Wan's clear and bright eyes, he felt a sudden sense of relief.

Somewhat awkwardly avoiding the girl's bright gaze, he said calmly, "The world is in turmoil these days, you should be more cautious and not easily trust others. If something happens to you, my mother and the others will worry."

Yu Wan never expected that Yun Shang had specifically sent Shen away just to say these things.

Could she interpret Yun Shang's words as a sign of concern for her?

Is the male lead, who dislikes her, actually concerned about her?

For a moment, Yu Wan almost burst into tears of joy.

This is really not easy!

In order to please Yun Shang, she worked from dawn till dusk to earn money for the Yun family;

In order to get Elder Feng to treat Yun Shang's illness, she worked like a slave for Elder Feng every day.

All her hard work finally paid off!

Yu Wan stared at him without blinking, her eyes shining, a happy smile on her face, nodding vigorously.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be more careful from now on!"

When he spoke, he looked very well-behaved.

Yun Shang immediately looked away, as if he had been burned, and his tone remained calm.

“I have found out that the person who left you at the county office that day was Princess Tianyin, Prince Chen’s cousin.”

Princess Tianyin?

Yu Wan couldn't help but frown.

This name sounds so familiar... Wait a minute!

Holy crap! Isn't that the title given to the female protagonist in the book "Torture and Love"?

Princess Tianyin, Wang Wanshu, is the female protagonist of this book.

More than ten years ago, because her aunt was Consort Duan, a favorite of Emperor Wenjing, Consort Duan asked Emperor Wenjing for the title of Princess on behalf of her newborn niece, Wang Wanshu.

Although this title of princess was nominal, it was an absolute honor in Shengjing.

According to the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty, only daughters of the Crown Prince and daughters of princes, and other descendants of the royal family, could be granted the title of Princess.

The fact that Emperor Wenjing made an exception and conferred a title upon Consort Duan more than ten years ago at her request is a testament to his affection for her at the time.

But the emperor's favor was like a mirage, and as time went by, Consort Duan gradually became a withered flower in Emperor Wenjing's heart.

That's not the focus right now, but rather—

Why would the female lead, who should be peacefully residing in Shengjing at this time, suddenly appear in Huicheng County? And why is she deliberately making things difficult for her?!

What exactly happened? Did her transmigrating into the book cause a major change in the plot?

Yu Wan felt a chill run down her spine, and her face paled slightly.

Is this fate that is to destroy her?

Not only does the male lead want to kill her, but now the female lead wants to kill her too!

What is this? A double kill by the male and female leads?

Do these two really have to kill her?!

Yu Wan was filled with grief and indignation, and couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang, who was inexplicably glared at, thought: "?"

Taking a deep breath, Yu Wan looked at Yun Shang and said, "I have no connection with this Princess Tianyin, nor have I offended her. Why would she want to harm me?"

Yun Shang shook his head slightly, "I don't know for now."

As if struck by a sudden thought, a sharp glint flashed in his cool eyes, and he uttered a few words in a low voice, "Don't worry, I promised Mother I would seek justice for you, and I will never break my promise."

Seeking justice?

Who should we help her seek justice from?

Is it the female lead?

Yu Wan was shocked.

This plot is wrong! How can the male lead go against the female lead because of her?
