Chapter 105 Dealing with the Ring
Rain beat against the window lattice and the night wind howled. Perhaps because of this, Yun Wan slept restlessly all night and woke up when the sky was light the next day.
After an autumn rain, the morning was bone-chillingly cold, and there was a thick white fog at a glance. Fortunately, the dark clouds have dispersed, and there should be no more rain today.
After Yueya finished dressing her, she asked, "Master, there's still your dressing table and makeup box left to put away. Would you like me to put it away now?"
The hand holding the wooden comb paused, and Yun Wan said slowly, "Don't worry, you can clean it up later. I'm hungry now, go get some food."
Yueya said, "Please wait a moment. The waiter has prepared some snacks. I will bring them to you right away."
After waiting for the crescent figure to disappear, Yun Wan put down the comb and reached out to feel around the innermost side of the mirror until she touched a slightly convex area and pressed it.
With a click, a secret compartment popped out from the smooth and flawless side of the mirror table.
The secret compartment is not big. Apart from some small banknotes, the most conspicuous thing inside is a ring lying there quietly.
Purple jade ring with coiled dragon pattern.
Even after being hidden in a secret compartment for many years, the ring's luxurious brilliance has not diminished in the slightest, and it exudes its extraordinary charm.
Yun Wan took out the ring and held it in her palm. A warm yet cool touch passed through her palm, and she sighed slightly.
After she came to her senses that day, she hurriedly left the bamboo attic. It was not until she returned home and took off her clothes to take a bath that Yun Wan realized something was wrong.
I don't know when a foreign object got stuck in my chest and was caught in my small pocket. When my belt was untied, it fell into the bathtub with a thud.
When Yun Wan reached out to fish it out of the water and took a look, he was also stunned.
The ring that was supposed to be worn on the emperor's thumb was brought back by her!
After being shocked, Yun Wan immediately calmed down and made a prompt decision to hide the ring with extraordinary origins in the secret compartment of the dressing table, not daring to reveal it to anyone.
The dressing table was the dowry that her mother, Cen, brought when she married into the Yun family. When Yun Wan was young, she had seen her mother dressing up in front of the mirror and had also seen her open the secret compartment.
There was even a period of time later when Yun Wan was still young and was changing her teeth. Cen didn't allow her to eat too much sweet cakes and candies, so she hid them in a secret compartment here without telling anyone, and secretly ate a little bit every day.
Little Yunwan thought no one knew until one day when she opened the secret compartment and found that all the snacks she had hidden were gone. She was devastated.
Later she found out that her mother had known about her little tricks for a long time, but just turned a blind eye until she caught her completely.
Recalling the few tender moments she had with her mother when she was young, Yun Wan's brows softened and she had a calm smile on her face.
She took out a handkerchief, wrapped the ring, and put it into her sleeve.
.........
Knowing that Yun Wan was going back to the palace today, the Lu family prepared a fine meal in the front hall and invited her to sit down.
The reason is very simple. No matter what Yun Wan's relationship with the Lu family was before, from now on she will only be Concubine Yun in the palace.
People who can survive in a wealthy family are not fools. Even if they were not close to Yun Wan before, they don’t want the relationship between the two sides to become worse in the future. Any compensation is better.
The old lady was ill in bed, so the banquet was prepared by Aunt Lu, the wife of the second younger brother of the deceased old man of the Lu family, and all the sisters-in-law were invited to join in the fun.
During the meal, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the old lady and Lu Fenglan, as if the two had never existed. As a result, the meal was harmonious and there was no conflict.
After leaving the front hall, Yun Wan walked around the mansion casually, with a slightly furrowed brow and a slightly sad expression.
Fuling thought she knew she would never come back, so when she saw the plants and trees here, she was moved by the scene and felt heartbroken.
In fact, Yun Wan was worried about how to throw away the ring in her sleeve without noticing to prevent future troubles.
She returned to the Lu family this time to deal with this matter, but unfortunately she couldn't find the right time and place.
There were many people on the way back to the palace, and she was not sure that she could throw it away without anyone noticing.
If she continued to wait, she would have no choice but to bring the things into the palace.
Too dangerous.
Walking on the cobblestone path, Yun Wan noticed a servant in coarse linen clothes unloading goods at the other end. When she saw what it was, she stopped.
"Is this bean feed?" she asked.
Seeing the former Third Madam, now Empress Yunfei, the servant replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, yes."
"These beans are specially prepared for horses, and the small ones are about to be moved to the stable."
If you want your horse to grow well, you need to feed it not only grass, but also beans.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan realized that she had unknowingly walked to the stables of Duke Lu's mansion, and her eyes flashed slightly.
She asked casually, "Is the horse Sui'er fed still there? I'll go check it out."
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but the stable is dirty and messy. I'm afraid it might stain your clothes and shoes..."
Yun Wan waved her hand and said it was okay.
Standing outside the fence, Yun Wan saw the black foal that Asui fed from time to time.
The once silly little foal has grown into a tall and strong foal, with shiny black mane, eyes like copper bells, long eyelashes, strong limbs, and head held high, just like a majestic general among horses.
Seeing Yun Wan staring at him, the big colt raised his head and snorted at her, chewing hay in his mouth.
"This horse looks good." She praised with a faint smile.
The horse slave couldn't help but let out a simple smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know this, but the Duke knows that the young master likes this horse, so he ordered me to feed it the best grass every day. If it eats well, the horse will naturally grow well!"
Yun Wan hummed, "Do these horses stay here every day?"
The horse slave shook his head: "Of course not. If I have free time, I will take the horse out of the city for a walk every three days. This will reduce the horse's chances of getting sick."
Otherwise, the horse will be unhappy if it stays in a small stable all day.
"If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll take these horses for a walk outside the city."
Hearing this, Yun Wan praised him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Glancing at the horses in the stable, she said gently, "Go and get busy. We don't need anyone here. I'll just take a look and then leave."
The manu said yes and left with the wooden bucket.
After he left, Yun Wan pointed to the green leaves under the eaves in the distance and said to Fuling, "Fuling, there's some fresh grass over there. Take some and feed them."
Fuling nodded.
While she turned around, Yun Wan quickly took out the ring hidden in his sleeve and threw it into the hay pile in the stable.
When the ring was mixed into the fodder and could no longer be seen, Yun Wan finally felt relieved.
She thought about it and now there are two possible situations for this ring: one is that it will be mixed with the grass and swallowed into the horse's stomach, and then excreted out of the body after being taken out by the horse slave tomorrow.
The second is that it is crushed by horse hooves and crushed into the soil on the ground, and destroyed completely.
No matter which situation it is, it is good for Yun Wan.
Having resolved his worry, Yun Wan left the stable feeling relieved.
Halfway through the journey, he met Lu Yuanduo, who was returning from outside and looked exhausted.
