Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 702
Before Yun Ruiyang could make a move, the Marquis of Changping's residence acted first.
Lady Zheng, the wife of the Marquis, personally stepped forward and directly proved that Yun Wan was indeed divorced because she had an affair with another man.
Just then, Yun Ruiyang also came out, which completely confirmed this point.
In an instant, the Yun family's already tarnished reputation was further damaged.
The reputation I've painstakingly built up over the years has crumbled again and again. Luckily, the entire Yun family is currently in prison and can't hear the rumors outside, otherwise, I don't know how angry they would be.
However, the Yun family couldn't hear it, but Yun Wan heard all the rumors circulating on the street.
These rumors were like a sharp blade, tearing at Yun Wan's heart.
Yun Wan never imagined that these rumors would be so terrifying. Once they took root in her heart, they would grow louder and louder, especially in the quiet of the night, keeping Yun Wan awake day and night. In just a few days, she became so haggard that she looked like a completely different person.
Pearl watched helplessly as her spirits deteriorated day by day, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing that Yun Wan couldn't even eat, Pearl had no choice but to persuade her, "Miss, don't be stubborn, let's go! Princess Ning sent a message yesterday saying that everything has been settled over there. As long as you go, you will be treated the same as before in Luoyang, and you will definitely not be wronged!"
The female official standing nearby softened her voice, a rare occurrence, and said, "Miss, let's go back. Even in your current state, he still treats you to good food and drink. Why torture yourself like this?"
"Besides, the young lady has always been intelligent. How could she have gotten so stuck in a rut that she doesn't even understand the principle of 'where there's life, there's hope'?"
Pearl nodded repeatedly.
In her opinion, Yun Wan is just torturing herself here.
If you have nothing to offer, why bother?
Meeting their gazes, Yun Wan suddenly erupted in fury: "What, even you think I'm no match for that woman, and that I'm being completely suppressed by her?!"
"What do you know? This is only temporary!"
"That bitch was so thoroughly suppressed by me before, yet she still had a chance to turn the tables. Why can't I?"
"Why can't I! If she can do it, why can't I!"
After saying this, Yun Wan was panting heavily.
Pearl and the lady-in-waiting exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.
After leaving the hall, Pearl pulled the lady-in-waiting aside.
The lady-in-waiting also had a lot to say to Chunhua: "Has the young lady always been like this? She's just too stubborn!"
Pearl's face darkened for a moment: "You weren't like this before. You don't know, you used to have everything go smoothly, but ever since that person came, nothing has gone right for you. It's normal that you can't stand it."
"This is normal?" The female official's eyes widened. "Let me tell you, I also came from the palace and have seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time I've seen someone so obsessive!"
Pearl's face darkened further, and her voice inevitably turned cold: "No matter what, Miss is the mistress. Since we are servants, we should serve our mistress wholeheartedly. What's the use of talking so much behind her back?"
The lady-in-waiting looked at her and sighed deeply.
She was confused herself. Knowing that Pearl had been by Yun Wan's side since childhood, she still complained to Pearl.
After composing herself, the lady-in-waiting spoke again, her voice returning to its usual coldness: "Miss Pearl summoned me here alone, so she must have something to say."
Pearl nodded: "The reason you're in this state is because of the incompetence of us people, so I must do something for you."
