Chapter 202 They are all being manipulated by the plot.
Yun Shang's hands trembled slightly as he tried to grasp that fleeting thought, but only felt a splitting headache.
But the scenes in my mind were shrouded in mist, blurry and indistinct.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside him, as if he had done something irreversible...
Yun Shang endured her headache and paced back and forth in the room, trying to clear her chaotic thoughts.
But he couldn't remember anything.
He turned to Miao Hong and asked again, "Did I really not leave last night?"
Miao Hong hesitated for a moment, "This servant truly did not see you leave."
Having received an affirmative answer, Yun Shang temporarily suppressed the unease in her heart.
Perhaps he had a nightmare last night, which is why he is so uneasy.
Seeing that his expression was not as cold as it had been the night before, Miao Hong cautiously asked, "Young Master, has something happened with Madam? Why did the people from the Duke of Anguo's mansion send a divorce agreement to the county government?"
Yun Shang's thoughts then turned to the divorce papers in his hands.
He frowned, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Yun Shang remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "You don't need to ask any more questions about this matter; I will handle it myself."
Seeing this, Miao Hong dared not say anything more and silently withdrew.
Yun Shang sat alone in the room, half of his body hidden in the darkness, making him difficult to see clearly.
……
Once Lady Anguo's headache subsided, Yu Wan recounted to the Duke and Duchess of Anguo in detail Xie Guanqing's frivolous remarks during their boat trip on Biling Lake that day.
Upon hearing this, Duke Anguo immediately launched into a tirade: "That Xie Guanqing is such a shameless scoundrel! I had heard that he had some talent, but it turns out he is of such low character. He has utterly disgraced the Kangping Marquis's family!"
Duke Anguo paced back and forth in the room, his face flushed, like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "Wan'er, you did the right thing. This kind of marriage must not be agreed to. I will never let you jump into this fire pit."
Yu Wan couldn't help but laugh.
Lady Anguo listened from the side, her face showing a struggle, "But..."
“Our daughter is a second-time bride, and the heir of the Kangping Marquis’s mansion is already the best candidate…”
Duke Anguo paused, then turned to look at his wife, his eyes filled with confusion.
As if she had suddenly forgotten her, she said, "If you insist on having the county government write a divorce agreement so that Wan'er and that scholar can divorce, then Wan'er will not need to remarry."
Lady Anguo seemed momentarily dazed, her gaze shifting between Yu Wan and the Duke of Anguo.
She subconsciously said, "Wan'er cannot marry Yun Shang."
"Why?" Duke Anguo, who always indulged and doted on his wife, couldn't help but ask this time, "Although Yunshang comes from a humble background, he is the top scorer in this imperial examination. The Emperor himself read his essay and praised him highly. He will surely receive an excellent official position at the banquet in a couple of days."
"There are very few people in Shengjing City who can achieve such success through their own abilities."
Why do you insist on Wan'er divorcing him?
"Given time, he will be a good match for Wan'er."
"Wan'er is not good enough for him!"
Suddenly, the Duchess of Anguo said something.
Upon hearing this, both Yu Wan and Duke Anguo were stunned.
Duke Anguo was furious.
Yu Wan found it puzzling.
Lady Anguo truly loved her as her own daughter. How could she possibly think that her daughter was not good enough for someone else? In a mother's heart, her own children should be the best.
Lady Anguo, seeing the astonished expressions on the father and daughter's faces, seemed to realize what she had said.
He looked at Yu Wan eagerly.
"Wan'er, that's not what I meant!"
Something flashed through Yu Wan's mind.
Seeing that her face was somewhat cold, Lady Anguo became even more anxious. "Wan'er, I don't know what's wrong with me..."
"I'd rather tear down a temple than break up a marriage. I know I shouldn't have interfered in your marriage, I know I shouldn't have..."
“But deep down, there seems to be a voice telling me that you shouldn’t marry Yun Shang, that you should break up with him, that you must break up…”
Upon hearing these words, Yu Wan felt as if she had been enlightened, finally grasping the source of the tangled mess in her mind!
The original plotline!
The invisible plot line in the original work can control the characters in this book!
According to the original plot, Yun Shang and Wang Wanshu are the male and female leads, and they are the official couple.
The plot twist of Yun Shang falling in love with a vicious female supporting character completely deviated from the original trajectory.
Therefore, the original plot was modified without leaving a trace!
The Duke of Anguo's wife forced her to divorce, and she was also given two troublesome little devils, the Marquis of Kangping's wife and Xie Guanqing. All of this was to make her divorce Yunshang and create opportunities for the male and female protagonists!
"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Duke Anguo asked worriedly when he saw her suddenly lost in thought.
Yu Wan was so shocked by her idea that she was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Father, Mother, I'm fine."
"I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest for a while."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards Cuijinxuan on her own.
Yu Wan was lost in her own thoughts the whole way, until she reached the entrance of Cuijinxuan, where she was startled awake by a loud bang.
Then, in the courtyard, a maid accidentally knocked over a vase under the eaves while sweeping.
The maid's face turned pale instantly, and she immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Please forgive me, young lady! I didn't mean it!"
The items in Cuijinxuan are all quite valuable. If this maid were to pay for them, she probably wouldn't be able to repay them even if she worked her whole life at the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Seeing that Yu Wan's face showed no anger, Granny Yu raised her hand to tell the maid to get up, and said leniently, "Get up, Miss is kind-hearted and will not blame you."
"Let it go this time, but if there is a next time, we will punish them severely."
After spending these days together, Granny Yu had come to understand her young lady better.
They don't have many hierarchical concepts and are kind-hearted.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a sound.
"You're so clumsy, what's the point of keeping you in the yard?"
Yu Wan remained expressionless and cold. "Give him twenty strokes and sell him off."
These words stunned not only Granny Yu and the maids in the courtyard, but also Yu Wan herself.
A million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.
The maid who broke the vase fell to the ground.
If they give her twenty lashes and then resell her, they're not giving the girl a way to survive.
Granny Yu could not hide her shock. "Miss, she's just a pretty face. She doesn't deserve such a severe punishment. She's young. Twenty strokes of the cane would probably kill her."
Yu Wan felt as if she had been split into two people.
One version of her is trapped in a shell; that is the real her.
Another version of her took control of the body, like... the vicious and ruthless female supporting character in the original work.
She heard her say, "A servant, he or she, dies."
Yu Wan: "..."
What a shocking statement!
What's wrong with her? !
Granny Yu wanted to persuade her further, but seeing Yu Wan's cold expression, she could only say, "Someone, take her away."
"Spare me, young lady! Spare me, young lady!" The maid pleaded, her face pale, looking at Yu Wan with pleading eyes.
Yu Wan met her eyes and her body trembled violently.
"Wait!" she shouted, her voice urgent and loud, "Don't punish her!"
After saying this, Yu Wan took a few quick breaths.
She instinctively gripped Granny Yu's hand tightly, fear appearing in her eyes.
She felt it just now!
She was manipulated by the plot!
Holy crap! She's been in this book for so long, and only now does she realize there's this way to play!
