Marquis Annan could no longer sit still.
"Your Majesty, there's something fishy about this matter. I suspect the young lady from the Wenchang Marquis's mansion set up a scheme to murder my third son. The original marriage was also strange. With so many people in the temple, why did Yun Shiqi choose to help my mother and even propose marriage? And today..."
He was filled with grief and indignation. "I have seen a lot, but I've never seen anyone... so inseparable. Furthermore, my third son has been deprived of his descendants. This is a great disgrace to our Annan Marquisate. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"
Yun Yuan bowed her head and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I am upright and have nothing to fear from my own shadow, nor am I afraid of being investigated."
Emperor Yongming stroked his chin and said, "You two are both right. I will send the Dali Temple to investigate this matter. Until the investigation is complete, none of you can leave the team."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"But it is a fact that Yi San and Yun Shiba were having an affair. I sentence Yi San and Yun Shiqi to annul their marriage. They must each return the betrothal gifts. Yi San will be flogged with thirty lashes of the cane, and Yun Shiba with twenty lashes of the cane as a warning to others. As for whether they should marry, that's a matter for your two families to discuss."
Emperor Yongming didn't want to get involved anymore. He was already very angry about the team being struck by lightning, but Yi San was already broken, and thirty lashes were enough for him.
Marquis Annan said earnestly, "Your Majesty, given San'er's current condition, could you please give him two days' grace?"
Emperor Yongming waved his hand: "Alright."
Having wasted too much time, the team set off again.
In the carriage, Yun Yuan stayed far away from Yun Shu, as if she were some stinky piece of dog shit.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yun Shu endured the severe pain in his body and lay in the carriage in a mess. His originally beautiful face was distorted by pain.
"Aren't we the best of friends? Why don't you just take the blame and marry into the Annan Marquisate? That way, everything will be resolved perfectly."
Yun Shu became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
However, Yun Yuan on the opposite side just sneered softly, as if he found Yun Shu's words extremely ridiculous.
"Letting me bear an unjust injustice and marry a disabled person is your perfect solution? And I think Yi Xianyu is dirty for you to do such a thing." Yun Yuan's tone was calm, without any sadness.
Yun Shu suddenly laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm and disdain.
"You are so naive! What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Now that you have broken off the engagement, I wonder what kind of good marriage you can find in the future."
Yun Yuan did not respond to Yun Shu's ridicule. She just looked at her silently, which made her feel uneasy.
“Why are you looking at me like that?
Yun Yuan said, "I treat you like my own sister, yet you're secretly plotting against me. Yi Xianyu isn't a good person either. I'm glad I saw your true colors beforehand. Even if I don't cancel the engagement today, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry into the Annan Marquisate, right?"
Yun Shu was shocked. Her plan was leaked?
Yun Yuan became more and more certain that she had planned this in her previous life.
There was a voice outside the window.
"Miss Yun Eighteen, the Marquis of Annan has sent someone to retrieve... retrieve... the things that Third Young Master Yi had broken off."
Yun Yuan looked at Yun Shu teasingly.
Yun Shu's face turned red, then white, and then white and black again. He said angrily, "Tell them that I threw that thing away and fed it to the stray dogs."
The nanny who came over was not someone to be trifled with. She had received orders from Marquis Annan and was not afraid of bullying a young lady from the Earl's Mansion. After hearing what Yun Shu said, she immediately retorted.
"Miss Yun Shiba, you are so arrogant. I followed you here. I know exactly whether you have lost anything. If Miss Yun Shiba doesn't take it out, don't blame me for doing it myself."
"What do you want to do?" Yun Shu struggled to sit up and lifted the carriage curtain. "No matter how unbearable I am, I am still a young lady from the Bo Mansion. As a servant, you should speak with some respect."
When the Duke of Wenchang and his wife, Mrs. Tao, heard the noise, they came over.
It doesn't matter to Marquis Wenchang because he is thick-skinned, but Mrs. Tao feels very embarrassed. There are still several girls and boys in the mansion who are not married. With such an incident today, it will be difficult for them to get married in the future.
"Eighteen, just give the things to this nanny and leave one intact for Yi San."
The nanny looked at Yun Shu arrogantly and said, "Ms. Yun Eighteen, please take out your things."
People from the front and back came to watch the fun. Yun Shu was about to cry. It was not that she didn't want to give it, but she couldn't afford it.
"I... give me some time, I will definitely get it out."
As soon as she said this, everyone stared at her strangely... See, did they understand what she meant? Could it be that they would eat people there?
Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yun Shiba, you'd better take it out quickly. If you wait any longer, it will get smelly. Who will want you in the future?"
“No one wants it now.”
There was a burst of laughter.
Everyone in the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion felt ashamed to face anyone, except Yun Yuan.
She stood up leisurely: "Sister, I think what they said makes sense. Sister, please hurry up. I will go to another carriage and will not affect your performance."
"You're laughing at me too, aren't you?" Yun Shu said viciously, "Yun Shiqi, just wait for me. If I don't have a good life, neither will you."
"Then I'll wait." Yun Yuan said calmly, "I'll warn my sister, don't covet things that are not yours, and other people's things are not necessarily good things."
After saying that, she got off the carriage, nodded slightly to the onlookers, and calmly got on another carriage.
This carriage was used to transport boxes and valuables, and it was not full. Yun Yuan was happy to be alone, so she asked Xiaobai to take out food from the space.
Yun Shu endured the pain and shame while trying to get the things out in the carriage alone, but failed. She had no choice but to let the nanny from the Annan Marquis's Mansion enter the carriage.
Accompanied by obscene words and Yun Shu's screams of pain, the dirty thing was finally taken out.
The nanny left cursing, and Yunshu finally couldn't help crying.
"You still have the nerve to cry!" Wenchang Bo scolded, "Shameless thing, you have brought shame upon the Bo family. If Yi San doesn't want you, then get out too. We don't have a girl as shameful as you in our Bo family."
Yun Shu's crying stopped, and she said hesitantly, "I don't want to marry Yi San."
Wenchang Bo asked, "Who do you want to marry now? Who else do you think would marry you besides Yi San?"
"I...I..." Yun Shu was heartbroken. Yi San was not complete now, and Marquis Annan was hostile to her. How could she survive if she really married him?
She begged, "I can marry far away, please don't kick me out."
"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. With your current reputation, no one would want you even if you were to marry far away!" Wenchang Bo said, "Do you know what people say about you? They say you're a cannibal. What man would be so careless as to want you?"
"No, no." Yun Shu cried and said, "I really don't know what's going on..."
"I don't care about you anymore. You can take care of yourself." Wenchang Bo turned away. He had many daughters, so one less was no big deal.
Yun Shu lay on the carriage and sobbed, "It's all Yun Shiqi's fault. If she hadn't exposed my identity, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now."
