Chapter 102 I really didn't start the fire!!
Yu Wenzhu had never seen such a shameless person in her life. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, and she looked at Shu Wan as if he was a monster.
"Fu Shuyin, you..." She wanted to scold Shu Wan, but thinking back to what Shu Wan had just said about her being rude, she could only swallow her anger and keep the curse words to herself.
"What's wrong with me?" Shu Wan didn't realize that she had irritated anyone. "Princess, don't look at me like that. It's creepy. You act like you have a deep hatred for me. If anyone wants to look, I should look at you. After all, it was you who burned down my house!" She seemed speechless and puzzled, and the words "you are sick" were almost written on her face.
"I've said I didn't!" Yu Wenzhu was furious. "Fu Shuyin, don't you understand what people say?" She had reiterated it so many times, how could this person be like this, not listening! "I can understand what people say, but I can't understand what the princess says!" Shu Wan pouted.
Yu Wenzhu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize what Shu Wan meant.
"Ah! Fu Shuyin, I will fight you to the death!" She screamed and rushed towards Shu Wan. If she didn't beat Shu Wan today, she would not be called Yuwen Zhu.
In a rage, she was ready to tear Shu Wan apart with brute force.
But Shu Wan just moved slightly to the side, and Yuwen Zhu, who rushed over headfirst, came into close contact with the ground!
"Ah..." Yu Wenzhu fell flat on her face. She looked horrible, with her hair all disheveled. It took her a long while to grit her teeth and get up.
She raised her head and saw a pair of feet standing in front of her. Then she raised her eyes hard and saw Rong Chen, the national teacher who looked like a banished immortal, standing there and looking at her!
Looking at Shu Wan's graceful appearance, and then at her own miserable state, she wanted to die. In an instant, she was furious and wanted to eat Shu Wan alive.
"It's all your fault. You planned all this!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, determined to let everyone hear that this was Shu Wan's fault. "The purpose was to make this princess look bad in front of the Imperial Master!" She felt that Shu Wan was too scary. If she didn't get rid of her, she would definitely be a big worry for her!
"I don't understand what you said, Boar!" Shu Wan said innocently, "What do you mean everything was planned by me? Did I instruct you to take people to the villa to smash and burn things? Or did I push you when you fell just now?" She spread her hands to indicate that she did nothing.
"I didn't set the fire!" Yu Wenzhu was really angry this time, tears streaming down her face. "It wasn't me."
"Okay, okay, Boar, don't cry!" Shu Wan raised her hands in surrender. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about why you, Boar, brought people to the villa. Did Shu Yin offend Princess Pig in some way? Why did Boar mobilize so many people and cause such serious consequences?" She immediately put on an expression as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Yu Wenzhu wanted to refute after hearing this, but Shu Wan quickly raised his hand to signal her that she didn't need to say anything, as Shu Wan understood it all.
Yuwenzhu felt as if she had eaten a fly and was so frustrated that she was about to explode.
"Your Majesty!" Shu Wan turned to talk to the emperor and automatically ignored the pig princess. "Because Shuyin and the princess are pursuing the national teacher at the same time, the princess is dissatisfied with Shuyin, so she is unwilling to tell the truth. Please ask your Majesty about the cause of today's incident!" She had teased him enough and was in a much better mood now, so she continued to watch the show.
The Chiyan Emperor glanced at Shu Wan. Shu Wan knew the meaning of that glance very well. After looking at Shu Wan, he looked at Yuwen Zhu again. From that expression, Shu Wan felt that the Chiyan Emperor was reflecting on himself, why he gave birth to such a stupid daughter!
"Zhu'er, tell me yourself, why did you go looking for trouble with Princess Shuyin today? You are so arrogant. What did I teach you?" Although he was dissatisfied with Shu Wan's attitude in the court just now, the matter today was too big, and he had no way to protect Yuwen Zhu even if he wanted to.
"Father, I really didn't start the fire." Yu Wenzhu was in tears. Shu Wan's questions had left her with a psychological trauma, and her mind was filled with the need to explain the matter clearly.
"I ask you why you want to bring people to the villa where Princess Shuyin lives!" Emperor Chi Yan felt a little pain in his temple, and spoke patiently.
"My Lord, it's because Fu Shuyin actually went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence in the middle of the night. It would have been fine if she didn't behave herself, but she actually wanted to ruin the Imperial Preceptor's reputation. That's why I was so angry that I brought people to teach her a lesson. But I really didn't start the fire..." She knew clearly that she had only smashed the villa, and the most she would get would be a beating, solitary confinement, and a fine of some salary. At worst, she would have to apologize to Shu Wan.
But arson is not that simple. It is premeditated murder. She will be sentenced to jail and may even be executed. It's too scary! Therefore, she will never admit to something she didn't do.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, boar, please explain to me what you mean by being indecent and what you mean by ruining the reputation of the national teacher. Please explain it clearly!" Shu Wan opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were on the tip of Chi Yan's tongue. He felt that nothing could be more frustrating than this.
"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Shu Wan getting anxious, Yu Wenzhu finally regained her confidence. "How dare you say that you didn't go to see the Imperial Master in the middle of the night yesterday? Someone saw it. Don't even think about denying it!"
"I didn't say I was going to deny it. I did go to the Imperial Master's residence last night, but I climbed over the wall to get in. I was extremely careful because I was afraid that the Imperial Master's reputation would be damaged. Alas, I didn't expect that I would still be seen. It's true, if you don't want others to know, you had better not do it yourself!" Shu Wan sighed and shook his head, regretting very much that he didn't hide more secretly last night.
Everyone looked at Shu Wan as a flock of crows flew overhead.
Auntie, is this the time to get hung up on this? Isn't the point now to explain why you went to the Imperial Master's Mansion? You, on the other hand, openly admitted that you climbed over the wall to get there! She had prepared a lot of excuses, waiting for Shu Wan to quibble, and then she brought the witness up, and once again punched Yu Wenzhu on the cotton.
"If my behavior last night has affected the reputation of the Imperial Master, then I apologize to him!" Shu Wan said, and bowed to Rongchen in a formal manner as an apology. "Since this is all Shu Yin's fault, then Shu Yin is willing to take responsibility to the Imperial Master. Imperial Master, can you please decide which day is good? Let's set the date for the wedding!" She spoke softly and aggrievedly.
…………
There were indeed many people who were ready to punch Shu Wan hard in the face!
Where's the face? Where did it come from?
Why would there be such a shameless person in the world? Is this how a princess of a country should behave? Shameless and shameless! Everyone thought the same thing.
Before today, when people mentioned Shu Wan, their first impression was that she was beautiful and brave. But after today, whenever they heard her say "obey orders", the first words that came to their mind were "thick-skinned".
"Ahem!" Emperor Chi Yan was dizzy for a while before he came back to his senses, "Then Princess Shu Yin went to visit the Imperial Master late at night, but what's the important matter?" Shu Wan was shameless, but he still wanted it. He really couldn't say the words "climbing over the wall in the middle of the night", so he used the word "visited".
"It's nothing important!" Shu Wan shook his head. "Shu Yin just suddenly remembered that he had agreed a few days ago to pursue the National Master on an equal footing with the Pig Princess. Shu Yin actually forgot about this matter. Now, after suddenly remembering it, he hurried to visit the National Master!" Shu Wan answered sincerely.
"You're lying." Yu Wenzhu cursed, "If you have an honest heart, you can just visit me openly in broad daylight. But you did it secretly and even climbed over the wall. It's obvious that you have bad intentions!" She would not let Shu Wan go easily.
"Boar, why can't you understand?" Shu Wan shook his head, indicating that this man's IQ was worrying. "I said I suddenly remembered it, and it was night when I remembered it, so I went there at night. I didn't have any ulterior motives, so why did I have to go there in the daytime and put on a show for others to see?" The meaning was so obvious, Yuwen Zhu should have understood.
"How dare you say that I have ill intentions towards the Imperial Master?" She was furious. "You are confusing right and wrong, and confusing black and white!"
"I didn't say that, you admitted it yourself!" Shu Wan rolled his eyes.
"You..." Yu Wenzhu raised his hand to hit Shu Wan, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he barely held back.
"Moreover, Your Highness the Boar, I only went to visit the Imperial Master once, and you brought people to smash my house. If I go to see the Imperial Master in broad daylight, you will really kill me, right?" Shu Wan's face was full of fear. "Besides, His Majesty once said that we both have equal rights to pursue the Imperial Master, and no excessive means are allowed. But today you have already shouted at me to kill. Although I am not hurt today, I may be in trouble someday in the future. In the long run, it will definitely endanger my personal safety. You are openly disobeying the order!" Shu Wan's little mouth chattered, and Yuwen Zhu was stunned and didn't know what to do.
"You...it was obviously you who came here in the middle of the night with impure intentions and ruined the reputation of the National Master. That's why I had to teach you a lesson!" Yu Wenzhu argued.
"Visiting in the middle of the night means your purpose is not pure. Boar, why are you thinking so...?" Shu Wan said two words silently. Yuwen Zhu saw clearly that they were dirty. Shu Wan said the word dirty.
"How dare you say that about this princess..." She retorted hastily.
"If that's the case, then His Royal Highness Prince Li also visited Shu Yin late at night last night!" Shu Wan interrupted her, "Then if you say so, do you think I have to be responsible to His Royal Highness Prince Li as well?"
Yuwen Yan: ...Why are you suddenly dragging me into this? Yuwen Zhu wanted to refute, but at this moment, she really didn't know how to refute her.
Rong Chen: …Why do I feel like she is hinting at me? Yu Wenzhu wanted to refute, but at this point she really didn't know what to say, as if everything she said was wrong.
"Father!" She cried with tears in her eyes. It was unacceptable to bully others like this. What on earth was this man's mouth made of? Why was he so eloquent?
"Prince Li, is what Princess Shuyin said true? And why did you go to visit the princess?" Emperor Chi Yan said he didn't want to pay attention to his silly daughter, so he went to talk to his son.
"Your Majesty, I went to deliver an invitation to Princess Shuyin!" Yuwen Yan answered respectfully, "I held a poetry gathering in the mansion today. I thought Princess Shuyin would be bored since she had just arrived, so I came to invite her!" Yes, speaking of this, didn't Yuwen Yan hold a poetry gathering today? Now that this happened, the poetry gathering has been cancelled temporarily!
"Is that so, Princess Shuyin?" Emperor Chi Yan asked Shu Wan again.
"Your Majesty, what Prince Li said is true!" she answered truthfully.
"Where is the Imperial Master? Princess Shuyin said that he was just here for a simple visit. Is that true?" The topic finally came to Rong Chen, the cause of everything and the source of all evil.
"Your Majesty, there is not a single word Princess Shuyin said that is false!" Rong Chen still looked as calm as if the world was about to collapse.
"Your son can testify that what the Imperial Master and Princess Shuyin said are all true!" Yuwen Yan suddenly interrupted.
"Oh? King Li, how did you know about this?" Emperor Chi Yan asked Yuwen Yan puzzledly.
"Replying to Your Majesty, when I went to deliver the invitation to the princess yesterday, I mentioned the Imperial Preceptor to her. The princess did say that she didn't remember the Imperial Preceptor. After I left, I passed by the Imperial Preceptor's residence and happened to find someone sneaking into the residence. I was worried that it was an assassin who threatened the Imperial Preceptor's safety, so I chased him in. After I went in, I found that it was Princess Shuyin. I heard the conversation between the princess and the Imperial Preceptor. After just a few words, the princess left!"
Yuwen Yan said these words out of selfish motives.
First, he deliberately said that Shu Wan had forgotten about Rong Chen for many days. In this way, Rong Chen would definitely not have a good impression of Shu Wan, who said one thing and did another. In this way, Shu Wan would have a greater chance of changing her mind and marrying him.
Second, he said that he followed Shu Wan into the Imperial Master's Mansion to tell everyone that Shu Wan and Rong Chen had never crossed the line. Otherwise, after today, there would still be people who would slander Shu Wan's reputation. He didn't like it. Shu Wan was the woman he liked, and he would not let Shu Wan get involved with other men.
Third, he heard it all yesterday. Rong Chen had no feelings for Shu Wan. Rong Chen must be very reluctant to have anything to do with Shu Wan. He is now proving their innocence. Rong Chen will definitely be grateful. In this way, it will be just around the corner for him to get close to Rong Chen and find what he wants from Rong Chen. He also has to thank Shu Wan for giving him a good opportunity to get close to Rong Chen! "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Li, for clearing Shu Yin's grievances!" Shu Wan clasped his fists in gratitude. Now he knows how to say that he was wronged. He completely forgot that he was going to set a date for his wedding with Rong Chen. "Now that the matter has been made clear, it was all a misunderstanding. The Pig Princess brought people to smash, burn and rob my mansion, right..."
I’ll add sugar tomorrow. After two days of adding sugar, I’m going to start torturing myself.
