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

The next morning, Yu Wan woke up to the sound of firecrackers going off one after another.

When she woke up, the other side of her body was already cold, indicating that Yun Shang had been awake for quite some time.

Yu Wan stared blankly at the blue canopy above her head, her mind a complete blank.

It’s over.

She had absolutely no recollection of what happened last night.

How did she get from the dining area to the bedroom?

Did she walk here by herself?

But she...

Yu Wan, completely bewildered, lifted a corner of the blanket and saw that she had been dressed in her undergarments. Her vision went black.

She...she won't be with the male lead—

Did you get drunk and cause trouble?!

"Awake?" A cold male voice suddenly came from the doorway. Yu Wan was startled and quickly covered herself up before looking up.

At the entrance, a man stood tall and elegant, dressed in a light blue, belted robe. His back was straight, and his cold, aloof eyes were like snow on a mountain peak, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at him.

Yu Wan felt inexplicably guilty.

She felt that Yun Shang seemed to have gotten colder overnight.

After a few awkward laughs, Yu Wan whispered, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Yun Shang stood quietly at the door, watching Yu Wan speak to him cautiously, unsure whether she remembered what happened last night.

It's highly likely they don't remember.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him a question like "Why did you wake up so early?"

He didn't sleep at all that night.

Yun Shang stepped into the room and closed the door behind him, keeping the cold wind out.

Just as Yu Wan was about to ask him what he was doing, she saw him raise his hand and start taking off his clothes.

Take off your clothes?!

Yu Wan was so surprised she almost jumped out of bed.

Why is he taking off his clothes?

You're not thinking of doing *that* during the day, are you?

Yu Wan nervously clutched the blanket in front of her, stammering, "What...what are you going to do?!"

Seeing her looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy, Yun Shang paused for a moment and said calmly, "What else can you do after taking off your clothes?"

"sleep."

Yu Wan froze instantly.

She only realized what was happening when she saw Yun Shang walk to the bedside wearing only his undergarments.

Why is he sleeping in broad daylight!

I guess I don't want to sleep...

Yu Wan immediately moved slowly to the inside of the bed, staring at him warily, "Why do you sleep during the day?"

Yun Shang could tell what she was thinking from her face, but he didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he found it quite interesting.

He slowly took off his shoes and got into bed, his voice cool and clear, "There's nothing else to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year, sleeping is more important."

As Yu Wan watched Yun Shang sit on the bed, her heart pounded wildly.

She wanted to get out of bed, but Yun Shang was already lying down, and if she wanted to get out, she would have to step over him.

Yu Wan found the scene too exciting.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then stammered, "This...this isn't good..."

"What's wrong?" Yun Shang turned to the side, propping his head up slightly, a mischievous smile in his dark eyes. "Yu Niang, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Wan caught a glimpse of a mischievous smile in his eyes and suddenly understood something.

He's deliberately teasing me!

Yu Wan felt a bit conflicted.

Yun Shang actually knows how to tease her now!

Only when they got closer could Yu Wan see the faint lines under Yun Shang's eyes, which looked like dark circles.

So he thought of catching up on sleep because he didn't sleep well at night?

But the question is, why didn't he sleep well?

Yu Wan was very curious, but she just couldn't remember what had happened last night. She wanted to ask Yun Shang, but she saw that the man had already closed his eyes and was breathing lightly and evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Yu Wan was taken aback.

She fell asleep so quickly.

The feeling of having words stuck in her throat was unpleasant. Yu Wan stared at the man's peaceful sleeping face and couldn't help but mutter softly, "Last night... nothing that shouldn't have happened, right?"

She was met with Yun Shang's even breathing.

Yu Wan knew that asking would be pointless, so she muttered a few words to herself, then yawned and closed her eyes.

Since I don't have to get up, I'll sleep a little longer.

She was completely unaware that after she closed her eyes, the man lying next to her slowly opened them, his eyes clear and bright, showing no sign of sleepiness.

Yun Shang reached out and gently brushed away the stray hairs that had fallen on Yu Wan's face with her slender fingertips, her movements extremely gentle, as if afraid of waking her.

A faint smile played on her lips.

……

The Yun family spent the first day of the new year in a pleasant and leisurely manner.

People in Huicheng County also gathered around the stove at home, chatting and laughing, and the whole of Huicheng was filled with the joy of the New Year.

Meanwhile, at an inn a hundred miles away from Huicheng County, the waiter picked up the teapot that had been thrown out by a distinguished guest in the upper room with a smile on his face, bowing and scraping as he apologized.

As he turned to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain, the waiter couldn't help but complain, "It's the New Year and you're still wandering around outside. Who knows which building you snuck out of? You think you're some kind of princess, with such a bad temper..."

The complaints naturally didn't reach the house, but even though the people inside didn't hear them, her face remained gloomy, and she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Qiaobi carefully poured her tea. Seeing that Wang Wanshu had lost a lot of weight, she felt very sorry for her. "Master, let's go back. We've been hiding all this way to avoid the people sent by the Prince. We haven't even dared to stay in a decent inn. If this continues, your body won't be able to take it."

Wang Wanshu held the hot tea in her hands, looking at the inferior tea leaves floating in the cup, and had no desire to drink it at all.

She suppressed the nausea rising in her chest and shook her head, saying, "I won't go back."

The last time, Yun Shang didn't see her, nor did he fall for her; it must have been because the timing of their meeting was wrong.

If she appears before him at the same time and place as they met in their past life, Yun Shang will definitely fall in love with her.

She and he were destined to be together; what was Yu Wan anyway?

Qiaobi Music understood where Wang Wanshu's obsessive persistence came from.

Outsiders all thought Wang Wanshu was unambitious and didn't fight for anything, but only she, who had served Wang Wanshu since childhood, knew that from childhood to adulthood, Wang Wanshu would find a way to get whatever she wanted.

Ever since Wang Wanshu's parents were involved in the incident with Prince Chen and his mother, Prince Chen, in order to compensate Wang Wanshu, would deliver whatever she wanted to her before she even had to ask.

Everything she had obtained before came easily, but now she has repeatedly failed in Yu Wan's hands. This matter has probably become a thorn, deeply embedded in Wang Wanshu's heart.

But will what she steals truly belong to her?

Qiaobi looked worried and hesitated before saying, "Master..."

"Enough!" Wang Wanshu suddenly slammed her teacup on the table, her voice rising with displeasure. "Qiaobi, I brought you out here to ask for your help, not to hear you constantly pouring cold water on my plans!"

"If you don't want to continue following us, you can go back to Shengjing on your own!"

Qiaobi was startled and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness, "Princess, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I will never talk nonsense again."

Looking at Qiaobi kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Wang Wanshu's eyes were devoid of any kindness.
