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

Yu Wan watched as the man who was being criticized for attracting women's attention changed his expression over and over again.

"Cough cough." She desperately reminded Shen.

Madam Shen, however, was completely absorbed in her own thoughts and was in a fit of anger. "It's all because his face is too handsome. What's the point of a man looking like that? Isn't he deliberately trying to seduce young girls?"

Yu Wan: "..."

So it turns out that even Yun Shang can be disliked by her own mother.

Seeing the man standing at the door grow increasingly grim, Yu Wan quickly called out, "Hey! Yun Shang, you're back!"

Shen paused in his speech.

She turned to look at her son standing at the door, a fleeting hint of unease crossing her face.

Clearly, Shen felt a little guilty after being caught by her son talking badly about her.

Yun Shang stepped in, her expression already calm, as if nothing had happened. "Mother, I cooked some porridge for Yu Niang."

Shen's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You made this yourself?"

Yun Shang did not answer, but sat down by the bed to feed Yu Wan porridge.

Yu Wan was still wondering to herself how Yun Shang could possibly cook porridge for her, when a fragrant bowl of shredded chicken porridge appeared in her mouth.

She found Yun Shang's act of personally feeding her porridge particularly strange, but with such delicious food right in front of her, she simply couldn't resist the temptation.

Without hesitation, I ate it in one bite.

It is fresh, fragrant, and sticky, and melts in your mouth.

Yu Wan squinted her eyes in enjoyment, her whole body radiating pleasure.

Yun Shang couldn't help but chuckle, and a tiny smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

It's just a bowl of porridge, is it worth being so happy about?

Watching from the side, Madam Shen nodded in agreement, thinking to herself that with her son and daughter-in-law's relationship getting better and better, there should be hope for her little grandson soon, right?

At first, Yu Wan was a little unaccustomed to it, but seeing Yun Shang feeding her so naturally and calmly, she gradually felt that it was nothing.

He fed her, his movements as practiced as those of an old married couple.

Before she could even utter a sound, Yun Shang had already handed her a handkerchief.

Yu Wan looked up at him in shock.

Is this still the same Yun Shang who used to choke her and want to kill her at any moment?

Seeing her in a daze, Yun Shang bent down and put the bowl aside, asking calmly, "Do you want me to wipe it for you?"

Yu Wan snapped out of her daze, snatched the handkerchief from his hand, lowered her head to wipe her mouth, and mumbled, "No, no need."

ahhh-

Is she crazy? Why is her heart beating so fast?!

Did the male lead add something to the porridge? Yes! It must be! Maybe he poisoned the porridge, trying to kill himself!

Lost in thought, my wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

Feeling guilty, Yu Wan didn't dare to look at Yun Shang. She pulled the blanket over her head as if to escape, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm a little sleepy again, I want to sleep a little longer."

Yun Shang hummed in agreement.

Yu Wan heard him get up.

Just as I was wondering if he was about to leave, I felt a hand pull down the blanket covering my head.

With her face exposed to the air, Yu Wan looked up in confusion, meeting the man's slightly lowered eyes.

He was bent over, his hands still on the blanket.

Yu Wan felt her ears getting hot and stammered, "W-what's wrong?"

Yun Shang's gaze was calm, and her voice was clear and cold, "Don't cover your head with the blanket, it'll make it hard to breathe."

Yu Wan was stunned for a full three seconds before responding with a fleeting look in her eyes.

"……okay."

She thought Yun Shang wanted to talk to her about something serious, but he just reminded her not to cover herself with the blanket when she slept!

What's wrong with this guy today?!

First he fed her porridge by hand, then he showed her concern, could it be...?

Is he trying to slowly boil the frog in water?

Will he wait until I let my guard down before making his move?

Yu Wan immediately became alert, and her feverish ears cooled down.

As expected of that cunning and scheming old fox, he's truly full of tricks!

Seeing that Yu Wan had fallen asleep, Yun Shang took the empty bowl and left the room.

Madam Shen was standing outside the door. When she saw him come out, she smiled and teased, "How come I didn't know your cooking was so good?"

Yun Shang and Madam Shen exchanged a glance, her voice tinged with helplessness, "If Mother wants to eat it, I'll make it for you next time."

Madam Shen waved her hand, "No need, you should make more for your wife."

A relieved smile appeared on her face. Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her voice and said, "Shang'er, let me ask you, are you now willing to accept Yu Niang?"

Yun Shang did not answer immediately.

Shen didn't rush him and waited patiently.

A moment later, she heard Yun Shang say in a low voice, "Let bygones be bygones."

Shen was delighted and asked, "Then do you like Yu Niang?"

This time, Yun Shang remained silent for an even longer period.

Madam Shen looked at him expectantly, but Yun Shang spoke calmly, "Mother, I have other things to do. Please take care of her at Min'an Hall."

After saying that, he handed the bowl in his hand to Madam Shen and turned to leave.

Looking at his retreating figure, Shen could sense that he was fleeing in panic.

……

Yun Shang left Min'an Hall and went all the way to the county government office.

He had someone announce, "This student, Yun Shang, requests an audience with Princess Tianyin."

The people in the county government knew he was Dean Xie's student, so they didn't dare to neglect him and hurriedly went to inform him.

Soon, a yamen runner led out a maid.

The person who arrived was Qiaobi.

With a warm smile on her face, Qiaobi led Yun Shang inside and said with a smile, "Young Master Yun, the Princess is very happy to know that you have come."

Yun Shang remained calm and did not respond.

The two walked to the courtyard where Wang Wanshu lived, and Qiaobi led Yunshang directly to Wang Wanshu's bedroom.

When Yunshang reached the corridor, he stopped.

His voice was cold and distant. "Please inform the princess that I will be waiting here."

Qiaobi paused and turned to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

Yun Shang said calmly, "The princess is not yet married, so it is not appropriate for her to be in the same room with a man. It is more appropriate for us to meet here."

Qiaobi's expression shifted, but she didn't say anything.

She went inside and relayed Yun Shang's words to Wang Wanshu.

Wang Wanshu put down her lip rouge, a blush rising to her face, and said shyly, "He's worried about my reputation."

"He's always been like that."

He always considered her needs in everything he did.

Wang Wanshu stood up and walked out impatiently, asking Qiaobi as she did so, "Is there anything wrong with my makeup, hair, and clothes?"

Qiaobi smiled and said, "The princess is already a beauty of unparalleled grace, and now that she has dressed up specially, she is even more stunning. Even this servant cannot help but be moved by her beauty."

Wang Wanshu's eyebrows lifted, and she couldn't help but laugh.

She ran all the way to the door, then gracefully walked out, lifting her skirt.

Seeing the man waiting not far away, her heart began to pound.

Since her rebirth, she has finally seen him again.

"Young Master Yun," Wang Wanshu said softly as she walked to the opposite side of Yun Shang, smiling sweetly. "Tianyin has long heard of Young Master Yun's great name. I heard that my cousin came to Huicheng County this time for Young Master Yun. Tianyin admires you greatly and has always wanted to meet you."

She blushed and lowered her eyes, her voice even gentler, "I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to see me, young master."

Her girlish, lovesick appearance was both charming and alluring, and few men could resist her.

But Yun Shang remained unfazed, not even glancing at her directly, and said calmly, "Princess, I have only come here today to say a few words to you."

Wang Wanshu's joy was completely extinguished by the coldness in his words.

She stared at him blankly, somewhat incredulous that he would be so cold to her.

Yun Shang lowered his eyes slightly, and spoke clearly, "I come from a humble background and have been married to my wife for many years with a very deep affection for her."

"I truly do not know what my wife did to offend the princess. If she has offended her in any way, I am willing to take the blame for her."

"Please, Your Highness, show mercy and let her go."
