Yan Shang moved out of his own mansion and went to live in the county magistrate's office.
It is unthinkable that a host would leave his home to accommodate his guests.
When Mu Wanyao learned that Yan Shang had moved to the county magistrate's office, it was early in the morning and she was sitting by the window arranging flowers.
Qiusi looked at the princess with his bright black eyes. He saw that Muwan paused for a moment while arranging the flowers and then continued.
If there was any real touch, it was just a flash of sarcasm and loneliness that flashed across Mu Wanyao's eyes for a moment.
Mu Wanyao knew it in her heart. This was the answer Yan Shang gave her.
He cared about her and had to come to see her, but when she kissed him, he felt something was wrong. He said they would talk about their problems later, and this was his attitude towards "talking later" - he took the initiative to leave and completely avoided suspicion.
He didn't cross the line and regarded her as a scourge, so why should she be so sentimental? There was no Yan Shang in this world, but there were Zhao Shang, Qian Shang, Sun Shang, and Li Shang. As for men, as long as they had power, it didn't matter how many similar ones they found.
However, when Pei Qing came again to talk to Mu Wanyao about leaving Nanyang, Mu Wanyao still refused.
Mu Wanyao must wait until the old imperial physician who sets out from Chang'an arrives. Only after the old imperial physician has examined Yan Shang's eyes and let her know that Yan Shang's eyes are fine, will she leave Nanyang.
Pei Qing saw that the princess was determined. He didn't know that Mu Wanyao was obsessed with the harm that imprisonment might cause to Yan Shang. He just thought that the princess's feelings were all because she was obsessed with Yan Erlang.
Pei Qing felt bitter, but he couldn't resist the princess.
After all, the princess is the ruler and he is the subject. Although he and the princess are engaged, he is actually here to serve the princess, not to truly regard himself as the princess's man.
Pei Qing has always known that the princess is the monarch, and the imperial power is above everything. Not to mention that the princess just can't let go of Yan Erlang now, even if the princess kidnaps Yan Erlang to the princess's mansion after marriage and keeps him in front of him, Pei Qing can't say anything.
There may be truly harmonious relationships between men and women in this world, but such relationships rarely exist between a princess and her prince consort.
Pei Qing, like all the other princes-in-law in the world, carefully watched Mu Wanyao's expression and made a living under the pressure of imperial power. Moreover, the princess married him in order to give him an official position, so how could he dare to be dissatisfied?
But Pei Qing liked the princess in his heart, and he really hoped that the princess could let go of Yan Erlang and look at him.
He didn't dare to say it to the princess, but Pei Qing could go find Yan Shang and ask him to back off.
After all, Pei Qing is currently a sixth-rank official, and Yan Shang is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. Pei Qing is a Beijing official, and Yan Shang is just a minor official in the local area.
Pei Qing went to the county magistrate's office where Yan Shang was currently living and talked to Yan Shang about the princess.
Yan Shang was about to go out to discuss the suppression of bandits with the governor of the state, when Pei Qing came to pay his respects and blocked him at the entrance of the corridor in the backyard of the county government office. Yun Shu, who was supporting Yan Shang, immediately became angry after hearing what this Pei Langjun said - their Langjun had taken the initiative to move to the county government office, so how could this Pei Langjun want them to avoid suspicion?
Yan Shangze blushed and was annoyed. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry because of Pei Qing's words. After all, he was like Mu Wanyao... and now Mu Wanyao's real fiancé came to visit him.
His behavior was so improper and violated his usual principles in dealing with people. Yan Shang felt so ashamed and angry that he wanted to kill himself.
Yan Shang was calm for a long while, then said in an awkward voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei. While your highness is staying in Nanyang, I will never see your highness again and bring trouble to you and Mr. Pei. I will leave the mansion in my house for you two to live in. If you have any needs, just ask the servants in the house, and you don't have to inform me. I will be busy suppressing bandits in the future, and I will not be here most of the time. Mr. Pei... don't worry."
Pei Qing praised Yan Shang's demeanor.
But he still hesitated: "I heard that you have a fiancée, sir, but is that true?"
Yan Shang sighed, thinking that he had only met this strange girl from a distance, but now she has become his shield. Yan Shang then said yes.
Pei Qing asked, "Since you already have a fiancée, why don't you get married early so His Highness can give up? Because if you don't cut off all possibilities, I'm afraid His Highness will still not let you go."
Yan Shang was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Yun Shu, who was supporting Yan Shang, could not help but said loudly, "Mr. Pei, you are pushing him too far. Our Mr. Pei has just been engaged, don't you need to prepare for the wedding? Our Mr. Pei is also a high-ranking official in Nanyang, how can the marriage be so hasty because of your precautions? Doesn't our Mr. Pei need to inform his parents and brothers? You can't handle the princess yourself, but you force our Mr. Pei to get married!"
Pei Qing was ashamed, but he looked at Yan Shang persistently and pleaded again.
Yan Shang said softly: "...I can't get married."
Pei Qing hurriedly said, "Are you afraid that this will disrespect your fiancée? With me and His Highness here, how can I humiliate you?"
Yan Shang frowned.
He said, "I know Pei Langjun thinks that I am not with Your Highness... That's why... Actually, I really won't do anything with Your Highness. But... I really can't get married. I can't get married in front of you... It will irritate Your Highness."
Pei Qing disagreed: "Then you have to express an attitude? Your behavior only makes me feel that you have bad intentions and are unwilling to let His Highness give up. How could His Highness be upset by your marriage? His Highness may be unhappy for a while, but His Highness will be heartbroken because of this. His Highness is completely disappointed in you, so he will leave me. Could it be that you still can't let His Highness go?"
Yan Shang was speechless for a moment.
I wondered why this prince consort didn't understand Mu Wanyao...
Yan Shang insisted that he could not get married, but Pei Qing pressed him step by step and appealed to his emotions.
Pei Qing probably saw that Yan Shang was a person of high moral standards, so she kept talking about how difficult it was for her, how much she loved the princess, and how much she hoped to live a peaceful life with the princess. But Yan Shang ruined all of that...
Yun Shu was so angry that he wanted to curse several times, but was stopped by Yan Shang.
In the end, Yan Shang was trapped by Pei Qing's emotional pressure. Although he insisted that he could not get married, he also made concessions and said that he would discuss with his father-in-law to advance the marriage.
-----
After Pei Qing left contentedly, Yun Shu was already extremely angry.
Yun Shu said: "Er Lang, why are you always like this? You always only think about others and not yourself? For the sake of His Highness and for Pei Langjun's happiness, you have to put yourself in a difficult position... and Pei Langjun even said that to you in a sarcastic way. It's as if we have wronged him.
"He himself is incapable of keeping an eye on His Highness, so he comes to us! We have been forced to stay in our own residences, yet they are forcing you to get married. When will you think about whether you are wronged? You are really too kind to others, so everyone comes to you.
"Your Highness is like this, Pei Lang is like this, and your father-in-law...isn't he also relying on you in this way!
"It is obvious that after you heard that the marriage was decided, the county magistrate forced you to drink, and you foolishly accepted the county magistrate's matchmaking. My dear, you may not even be ready to get married... but you have to do this... Why do you have to do this? Erlang, your wife should not be like this, at least she should be a good match for you..."
Yan Shang's face turned pale, but he whispered to stop Yun Shu: "Don't say it. There is no such thing as whether the marriage is dependent on you or not. The county magistrate is a decent person, and his beloved daughter must be honest and kind... The difficulty is that Pei Langjun wants me to get married early, but His Highness..."
He frowned slightly, but finally decided to leave it this way for now. At least it would stop Mu Wanyao from thinking about it.
-----
Yan Shang couldn't really get married early, he wasn't prepared at all. After all, marriage was a lifelong event, and it was a huge responsibility for him. But after Pei Qing's request, Yan Shang asked the county magistrate to come to the government office to discuss the early marriage.
It was naturally a great surprise to the county magistrate.
Yan Erlang was attracted by his simple and ordinary family background, while he was attracted by Yan Erlang's talent and ability.
After Yan Erlang arrived in Rang County, many important people tried to match him up with him but none of them worked. The county magistrate was afraid to marry someone of higher status, but once Erlang got drunk, he actually agreed. This marriage seemed to have fallen from the sky, and the county magistrate was in a trance, afraid that he was dreaming.
He was prepared for the day when Yan Erlang would tell him that he had drunk too much that day and that the engagement would not be considered as such if he had not offered the betrothal gift.
Who knew that Yan Shang had not mentioned marriage much, and the first time he mentioned it, it was to discuss an early marriage with him. The county magistrate immediately rushed to the county magistrate's office, without Yan Shang having to visit him... He was afraid that if the night went on, there would be more dreams and someone would mess up.
However, the county magistrate's office and Yan Shang's residence were too close.
The county magistrate walked into the county government office with a beaming face, wearing a red robe, looking just like a bridegroom. Qiu Si, who was squatting beside the flower bed outside Yan Shang's mansion playing with ants, could see him clearly.
Qiusi was young after all, and was full of curiosity about everything. After she ran over to ask, her expression changed, and she hurried back to the mansion.
Qiu Si kept shouting to Mu Wanyao: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something happened!"
When Pei Qing returned to the mansion, he saw Mu Wan, who was wearing a long golden dress and a dazzling array of golden hairpins, with a gloomy face, followed by maids such as Qiu Si, rushing towards the county government mansion. Seeing the princess's great momentum, Pei Qing's eyelids jumped, and he had a premonition in his heart, so he hurried to follow and see.
Opposite the county government office, the governor of the state just walked out and saw Princess Danyang charging towards the county government office.
The provincial governor was from the Nanyang Jiang family, the maternal family of the third prince, Prince Qin.
When the governor saw Mu Wanyao, his eyelids twitched and he muttered to himself, "It turns out that Princess Danyang really lives in the county magistrate's mansion... Yan Suchen spread so much false information that I don't know whether it's true or not. He hid her really well."
The governor of the state laughed, "A princess is so beautiful that she is surrounded by people. Yan Suchen wants to create a fake princess with the bandits... He is too cautious."
-----
Yan Shang was sitting in the study. He had just spoken a few words to the county magistrate, but before he got to the point, the door of the room was slammed open from the outside.
Such impolite attitude surprised the county magistrate, who scolded on behalf of the county magistrate: "Who are you! Do you have any respect for our Lord? How dare you break into the county government office..."
Yan Shang said: "County Magistrate, please go down first. We can discuss our matter another day."
The county magistrate was reluctant to leave, and finally got to talking about the marriage, but was interrupted again...
He turned around and saw a beautiful lady with brilliant eyes entering the house with a gloomy face, followed by several beautiful maids and guards. The county magistrate's eyelids twitched, knowing that this might be the mysterious nobleman living in the county magistrate's mansion.
Maybe it's the princess.
The county magistrate did not dare to say a word, and after leaving, Mu Wan lifted her skirt and ran straight to Yan Shang. She stood behind the desk and looked down at Yan Shang.
The bright sunlight shone into the study. He tilted his face slightly upward, and the gauze covering his eyes was stained with a hazy white light.
He sat quietly with his sleeves dropped, his expression unchanged. No matter how handsome and elegant he was, in Mu Wanyao's eyes, he looked as hateful as a bastard.
Mu Wan shook her head coldly: "I heard you want to get married early?"
Yan Shang said softly, "If there is enough time, Your Highness can stay for the wedding banquet."
His hands were curled up in his sleeves and clenched into fists. His hands were shaking violently, but he didn't let himself show any emotion on his face.
Mu Wanyao ordered, "Cancel the marriage for me."
Yan Shang: "Why should I cancel the engagement for no reason? Is it fair to treat the girl like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone standing in the small study hissed, because without hesitation, Mu Wan slapped him with a crisp sound that hit Yan Shang in the face.
Yan Shang's face was deflected by her palm, and he was a little dazed.
Therefore, no matter how they quarreled before, Mu Wanyao never slapped him. Everyone said that she had a bad temper, but Yan Shang had never seen her hit anyone.
And now...she took action.
Pei Qing followed behind everyone. He stood outside the window and when he ran over, he just happened to see Yan Shang being slapped by Mu Wan.
Pei Qing was shocked and panicked. He didn't expect Mu Wan to be so angry. He began to worry that Yan Shang would say that he forced him to get married early, and Mu Wan would come back to settle the score with him...
After a slap, Mu Wan shook her head coldly and asked, "Are you going to cancel the engagement?"
Yan Shang turned his face slightly towards her, and the red handprints from her scratching were clearly reflected on his jade-white face. He said, "Marriage is not a joke, we can't do this."
"Puff——" Everyone screamed again, because Mu Wanyao picked up a cup of tea on the table and poured it over.
Mu Wan shook her head with red eyes and said angrily, "Yes, I am not calm. Because I am not like you. You are a coward! You are a coward! If I were to get married today, you would not say a word. But I won't! You won't take a step towards me... You won't take a step! Why? Do you want me to chase you? Do you look down on me so much?"
Yan Shang's face turned pale. Tea was splashed on his face. Despite such humiliation, his mind was completely on her and her extremely hoarse voice.
Hate to the extreme, anger to the extreme!
A huge hole was torn in his heart, pulling at him bloodily.
Yan Shang's voice became hoarse: "I have never looked down on you. We just have different positions..."
Mu Wanyao yelled at him, "The positions of the two are different! What's the difference? Do you think I am a man who takes human life lightly? Am I an unforgivable person in your eyes? Do you think I am hopeless and unworthy? I have already come to Nanyang, and I stayed here for you...but you want to get married! Did you do it on purpose? Do you hate me so much? What did I do wrong to make you hate me so much and make you so eager to get rid of me...Why are you so mean to me!
"Are you still Yan Shang? Are you still the Yan Shang who loves me? Don't you think your heart is so cold and hard... I hate you so much!"
Her tears fell, and her voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he was slapped and splashed with tea by her, but her collapse and vulnerability were the most unforgettable... Yan Shang couldn't sit there any longer, he had to speak, he had to explain.
As she trembled, Yan Shang stood up and held her hand.
His voice was hoarse and trembling, "It's not like that! I never thought you were bad, I just felt I was unworthy. You know exactly what kind of person I am, but you don't know how scared I am. I was afraid that I would be between you and the people, and abandon you again, and that you would say to me, 'You make me feel like no one loves anyone in this world.' I always wanted you to be loved, but I don't think I'm the right person... I had nightmares countless times, dreaming that I let go of your hand, and that you looked at me with hatred in your eyes.
"I'm afraid that we will become strangers because of our different identities. I'm afraid that I'm not the best person to you. I'm afraid that you will be hurt by me. I'm afraid that you will be completely desperate about the emotions between people..."
Mu Wan looked at him blankly. She didn't expect that this was the reason why he stopped moving forward. With a tear in her eyes, she once again realized the huge difference between her eyes and Yan Shang's.
She always thinks about the present, but he always thinks about the future. She always wants the present happiness, but he wants status and the future... She and Yan Shang are so different. Two such different people, she even doubts how they got along before.
Mu Wan shook his head tiredly and said, "Forget it."
Yan Shang held her hand and trembled.
She reached out to push his hand away, closed her eyes and held back tears: "Forget it, I don't want to have any thoughts about you anymore. If you want to get married, go ahead and get married. It's up to you if you want to get married early. I'm leaving... I'm leaving Nanyang, I don't want to see you again!"
Yan Shang held her wrist tightly.
He felt her depression this time, and the fear in his heart made him feel that if he let go, he might really lose her completely... He thought so much and did so much, but he still couldn't let go.
Yan Shang trembled: "Actually, my marriage is not what you think. In fact, I don't want to advance it, I am because..."
Pei Qing's nervous voice came into the room: "Your Highness!"
Mu Wanyao turned her head and saw Pei Qing coming in. Pei Qing's eyes were full of concern for her. Mu Wanyao couldn't help but wonder if Pei Qing was the right person. Even if she didn't love him, she would fall in love with him one day.
Mu Wan was dazed, with Pei Qing holding her shoulders. She didn't know that Yan Shang behind her had an even paler face.
Yan Shang took a step forward and said, "Yaoyao, listen to me..."
Mu Wan turned her head to look at Yan Shang, but Pei Qing blocked her gaze with a caring gesture. Pei Qing turned around with a warning smile on his face and said to Yan Shang: "Yan Erlang, you are too much. You actually acted like this to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Have you forgotten the difference between the monarch and his subjects?
"How dare you get married early! What do you think of us? What do you think of the dignity of His Highness?
"Fortunately, Your Highness has me by his side now. I will accompany Your Highness in the future, and Your Highness will never be heartbroken by you again."
Yan Shang stood there in shock. In fact, when he was planning to help Pei Qing, he had thought that Pei Qing would use his rejection to get closer to Mu Wanyao. But Yan Shang didn't expect Pei Qing to go this far... He was still unwilling and wanted to catch up and tell Mu Wanyao that this was not the case.
But he couldn't see, and the place was full of their people. Mu Wanyao was taken away by Pei Qing tiredly. Maybe she was persuaded by Pei Qing and didn't want to care about him at all.
The room was suddenly empty after being filled with people. Yan Shang chased after him for two steps, stumbled, and was hit by the shelf of antiques. The books on the shelf in the library fell down like a mountain, hitting him head and face. Yan Shang reluctantly dodged, he stumbled out of the door holding on to the wall, and was stopped by Pei Qing's men.
The guards left by Pei Qing warned him: "Yan Erlang, our Lord advises you to say some things and not to say others.
"His Highness has decided to let you go. Since you are doing His Highness's best, don't do anything more. Our Master and His Highness are a perfect match. Your Highness and our Master love each other. After all, Yan Erlang... you are an old friend.
"If you disturb His Highness again, our Lord will have no choice but to use the superior's methods against you."
Yan Shang was stunned. He didn't care about Pei Qing's threats at all, because he had ways to deal with them. What made him hesitate was that they said Mu Wanyao and Pei Qing were in love with each other, and he should let go.
-----
After Mu Wanyao returned, he was said to be ill. Pei Qing's careful care may have finally touched Mu Wanyao's hard-hearted heart.
Pei Qing asked Mu Wanyao to go out and relax after she was sick. Mu Wanyao thought that she should start a new life seriously, so she did not refuse. Pei Qing was happy that he finally began to enter Mu Wanyao's heart, and he immediately accompanied Mu Wanyao out.
However, they were unlucky, as when they went out, they ran into Yan Shang coming back.
Mu Wan lowered his eyes and didn't look over there. On Yan Shang's side, the servant who followed him said something, and Yan Shang looked over at them and bowed his head.
Yan Shang "looked" at Mu Wanyao and said softly: "Your Highness, have you recovered from your illness? If you are still feeling unwell..."
Pei Qing interrupted: "No need for Yan Erlang to worry. But doesn't Yan Erlang live in the county government? Why did he come back again?"
Yan Shang said: "I came back to get some books. Where are you two going?"
Pei Qing: "I will accompany His Highness to relax. After all, old injuries are hard to heal. Yan Erlang, please make way."
Yan Shang did not give in, but "looked" at Mu Wanyao and said softly: "You want to go out right after you recover from your illness? This is not good for your health..."
Mu Wanyao said impatiently: "Pei Qing has made the arrangements. You don't have to worry about my affairs in the future. Get out of the way."
Yan Shang's face turned pale, and he finally gave way. Yun Shu held his hand and felt that his fingers were very cold. Yun Shu sighed in his heart, thinking that although his husband would be sad in the short term, it would be fine in the long run. Yan Shang lowered his head and walked over to the footsteps in front of him.
As she walked past him, he smelled her fragrance.
Yan Shang was absent-minded for a moment, and only woke up when Mu Wanyao and the other two had walked far away and left the corridor.
Yan Shang frowned and asked Yun Shu: "Did I hear it wrong just now...the footsteps are wrong."
Yun Shu was at a loss: "What's wrong?"
Yan Shang: "I only heard the footsteps of His Highness and Pei Langjun. Could it be that they went out alone?"
Yun Shu: "...I think they want to have a private meeting."
Yan Shang's chin was slightly tense.
-----
Mu Wanyao was being helped onto the carriage by Pei Qing when she heard Yan Shang's voice coming from the mansion: "Your Highness, Mr. Pei... wait a moment!"
Pei Qing was now very afraid that Yan Shang would appear, and immediately urged the carriage to move quickly.
But Mu Wanyao said, "He is not the kind of person who does things for no reason. Let's listen to what he has to say."
Yan Shang was supported by Yun Shu and came to the carriage. He asked, "Are you two going out to play with only a driver? Rang County is not peaceful now. You two should not be so arrogant and should bring more guards. Your Highness, you should let Guard Fang follow you..."
Pei Qing was displeased, knowing that as long as Fang Tong was around, Mu Wanyao would be in charge of everything, and he, the future prince consort, would not even be able to stand beside the princess.
Pei Qing saw Mu Wanyao lowering his head in deep thought, so he quickly pleaded with Mu Wanyao: "Your Highness, I finally have a chance to be alone with Your Highness, why do you have to let irrelevant people interfere? Yan Erlang, since this is your jurisdiction, we still have confidence in you."
Yan Shang wanted to persuade him again, but Mu Wanyao said casually, "Just follow Pei Qing's arrangements. I trust him."
Yan Shang was stunned.
He felt very uncomfortable, but insisted: "Your Highness... I won't harm you. There is no loss in bringing a few more guards."
Pei Qing saw that Mu Wanyao looked at Yan Shang with some hesitation, so he said, "Then take a few of my guards with you."
Mu Wan shook her head and lowered the curtain. Yan Shang wanted to persuade them, but the carriage drove straight past. The driver deliberately drove the carriage into a depression, and a puddle of water splashed out and hit Yan Shang, clearly bullying Yan Shang because he couldn't see.
Thanks to Yunshu grabbing her husband's hand and pulling Yan Shang back hard, Yan Shang's robe was prevented from being stained by mud and water. Yunshu cursed a few words indignantly, Yan Shang sighed, and had to turn around and ask the guards in his mansion to follow him.
Even though he knew that these guards would probably be driven away by Pei Qing's men, he still had to give it a try.
-----
Mu Wanyao and Pei Qing went out to play, and no matter how uncomfortable Yan Shang felt, he still had to do what he was supposed to do.
Yan Shang left the city and, as planned, joined the Jiedushi and set up an ambush in the mountains, waiting for the bandits in the area to appear so that they could be captured in one fell swoop. The warrior who followed Yan Shang was Han Shuxing, and the one who was responsible for telling Yan Shang about the surrounding situation was Yunshu.
They found some people, pretending to be the princess and her servants, and drove a carriage to the mountains to enjoy the mountains and rivers. They had been performing this show for three consecutive days. Today, the officials had figured out the whereabouts of the bandits and planned to take action today.
At this time, in the middle of the road, the fake princess's carriage was indeed robbed by bandits and stopped in the middle of the road. The officials were wearing disguises and hiding behind the bushes, waiting for the opportunity.
Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Yan Shang was concentrating, and everyone was waiting for his order... the sound of galloping horses broke everything, and several horses came rolling in dust from the mountain road.
They saw the bandits standing in the middle of the road hugging the fake princess, and they shouted on their horses, "Retreat! That's a fake princess! The real princess is in our hands... This is a trap set by the government! Escape!"
"Listen up, people from the government! If you dare to take action, we will kill the real princess!"
Yan Shang's heart sank suddenly.
The governor beside him, breathing heavily, made a prompt decision: "Kill—"
Yan Shang immediately said: "Wait...what real princess? Yun Shu!"
Yun Shu opened his eyes wide, looking at the direction where the dust was coming from, and tremblingly said: "My dear, they seem to have taken the princess away... What's going on? Didn't Mr. Pei go out to play with His Highness and never leave the city... My dear, I saw clearly that the person on the horse who was strangled by the thieves with a dagger was Her Highness the Princess!"
Yan Shang held down the hand of the Jiedushi next to him: "Stop! Your Highness is in their hands..."
The governor smiled and said, "Yan Erlang, you are mistaken. There is only a fake princess here, not a real one. This is the arrangement we made when we were performing the play. This is the plan you personally made. Have you forgotten it?"
Yan Shang paused for a moment, his heart sank, and he realized something was wrong. Someone was muddying the waters, and someone had other purposes.
He could already hear the sound of fighting, and he was anxious, knowing that he could not count on the Jiedushi. Yan Shang stood up from the bushes he was buried in, and led his men to the chaotic battlefield.
He wants to save Mu Wanyao!
He is the only one who can save this place! The bandits can be captured again, but nothing can happen to Mu Wanyao!
Seeing the young county magistrate walk away without saying a word, the governor didn't know how much Yan Shang had guessed in an instant, but he just smiled indifferently: "He's just a scholar... Don't worry about it."
