Yu Shuang left Wang Shi alone in the dilapidated temple to fend for herself, and then left with Zhao Shi.
They temporarily placed her in a farmer's house, promising to come back to find her in three days.
Inside the dilapidated temple, Wang regained consciousness to find herself completely alone.
He scrambled to his feet in a panic and ran out of the dilapidated temple.
Although it is unknown where the robber took Zhao.
But this was the perfect opportunity for her to escape.
She narrowly escaped death.
After this experience, she realized that nothing was more important than her life.
As long as she's alive, even if her reputation is completely ruined, she'll find a way to clear her name...
After a long and arduous journey back to the city, they overheard some gossip among the locals.
It turned out to be her undergarment, which was hung on the plaque of the Yu residence by thieves in broad daylight.
This brought shame upon the Yu family and made them the laughingstock of the entire city.
Wang was so angry she almost coughed up blood.
Having been a matriarch of the household for so many years, she quickly calmed down and came up with a solution.
They shifted all the blame onto Aunt Zhao, who has yet to return home.
She also spread rumors in the Yu family that Aunt Zhao had eloped with traitors, bringing shame upon the Yu family, and that she had been expelled from the household.
She was frantically trying to resolve public relations and public opinion issues.
Various pieces of evidence of Yu Shilang's embezzlement and bribery appeared on the desk of a high-ranking official from an opposing force.
Then, it reached the ears of the emperor without any hindrance.
Before Vice Minister Yu could finish dealing with his family affairs, he was summoned to the palace.
After a heated confrontation, he was imprisoned.
The Yu family ultimately suffered the fate of having their property confiscated and being exiled.
Apart from the married-out daughters of the Yu family, none of the Yu family members were spared.
When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a wall collapses, everyone pushes and kicks it.
Although the married-out daughters of the Yu family were somewhat affected and their status in their husbands' families declined.
But at least they escaped a calamity and didn't have to suffer in that bitterly cold place.
A century-old noble family collapsed overnight.
This left everyone sighing with regret.
Yesterday he was riding high, now he's a prisoner.
Life is truly unpredictable.
...
Over the next two days, Yu Shuang changed Zhao's identity and travel permit, and arranged for land deeds and houses.
He personally trained several servants for her and escorted her to the estate to become a landlord, where she lived a life of comfort and security from then on.
If one day she no longer wants to be single, she can find a man to marry into her family; that's perfectly acceptable.
Influenced by the prevailing social norms of the time, Zhao was horrified when she first heard of this audacious idea.
He waved his hands repeatedly, convinced that he would never do such a thing in the future.
Yu Shuang wasn't in a hurry to brainwash her, and simply said to let nature take its course.
If that day ever comes...
She took it as a way of making her stance clear in advance.
...
Under the emperor's nose, a traitor from an enemy state deposed the reigning prince, his arrogance reaching such a level that the emperor was furious.
For seven consecutive days, a thorough investigation was launched against traitors from enemy countries, but to no avail.
Furthermore, the thieves have not shown their faces for a long time, so it is estimated that they have already left the capital.
Over time, the matter was simply dropped...
After Prince Ning was rendered a cripple, he still received visitors for the first few days.
Even the person from the palace came, and they even invited the imperial physician.
Upon learning that Prince Ning would never be able to stand up again, and that his health was deteriorating and he would have to spend the rest of his life in bed, they realized that Prince Ning was no longer capable of standing up and that he would be increasingly frail.
The man in the palace sighed, offered a few words of comfort, and left without looking back.
At that moment, Prince Ning and his cronies were completely out of the political struggle.
After that, the Prince Ning's mansion was neglected.
Yu Shuang was happy to have some free time, as she could openly run amok in the Prince's mansion.
The scoundrel's life is getting worse and worse.
In particular, she was thrown into the woodshed by Yu Shuang's men to keep Yu Wan'er company.
I often teetered on the brink of suicide.
His pride, his self-respect.
He wouldn't allow himself to embarrass himself or lose face in front of the woman he loved.
That was worse than killing him!
But that wicked woman was vicious and insisted on throwing him to Wan'er against his will.
They even put it in a very high-sounding way.
"The Prince and my sister are a loving couple, so I'm sure my sister would be very happy to take care of the Prince. At least she'd be more devoted than I was when I took care of him. Isn't the Prince most fond of my sister? I'll send you two to keep each other company. Where can you find a princess as considerate as me?"
Mu Yanzhou was in a fit of impotent rage.
You bitch!!
I will tear you to pieces!
"puff!"
In a fit of anger, a certain place lost face again.
He hurriedly glanced at Yu Wan'er beside him, not missing the fleeting look of disgust on her face.
I felt a sudden pang in my heart.
When he becomes a cripple, it is usually also when he is most sensitive.
He clearly remembered that Yu Shuang had never shown such an expression before.
That woman will calmly and composedly clean up her own mess...
Even a woman without feelings can do this.
And what about the woman he loves?
They actually disliked him!
Anger overwhelmed his pride.
"Wan'er, please help me clean up first, I feel uncomfortable."
Instead of approaching him, Yu Wan'er hid in a corner to the side.
"How could I do this? Your Highness, please don't force me! Waaah... Ugh... I really can't do it. Ugh... Yu Shuang! Let me out..."
She was locked in the woodshed during this time, and no matter how much she cried out, it was to no avail.
It wasn't until the prince was thrown in to keep her company that all her spoiled princess temper was finally worn away.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and softened his stance.
"Sister, sister, I know I was wrong, please let me out... I'll never argue with you again, I'll listen to you from now on. Waaah... Ugh..."
She gagged from the fumes, but still stubbornly pounded on the doors and windows.
