Chapter 196 Conflict
From a distance, Shu Wan saw Shengnan and Qiuyue, and there were five or six people opposite them.
Shengnan didn't know what had happened to her and kept crying. Qiuyue protected Shengnan behind her, as if she was arguing with her about something.
This made the person opposite her so angry that he raised his hand to hit her in the face.
"Stop!" Shu Wan shouted in a high voice.
Hearing this, several people looked over, and Shu Wan also saw the other person's face clearly.
This person was none other than Yu Jianning’s sister Yu Anning.
Yu An Ning, who wanted to marry Rong Chen and become the city lord's wife.
"What's going on?" Shu Wan's gaze stayed on An Ning for a second, then he turned to ask Qiuyue.
"Reply, young lady?" Qiuyue felt more confident when she saw Shu Wan coming, and she spoke more confidently, "I and Chunhua are playing here with young lady Shengnan."
"Miss Yu suddenly ran out and bumped into Shengnan. Instead of apologizing, she pushed Shengnan down. Miss, look, Shengnan's hands are scratched!"
"After Ms. Yu pushed Shengnan down, she also forced Shengnan to kneel down and kowtow to apologize to her!"
"She said that Shengnan was just a lowly servant, so she could beat him up if she wanted to. What else could the young lady do?"
"I argued with her for a few words, and she hit me!"
Qiuyue quickly told Shu Wan the whole story.
"Shengnan, come here, let me see you!" Shu Wan did not get angry after hearing this. Instead, she suppressed her anger, squatted down and waved to Shengnan.
"Sister Wan..." Shengnan's eyes were filled with tears. She felt that the City Lord's Mansion was not fun at all. She didn't want to play anymore and wanted to go back.
"Does it hurt?" Shu Wan exhaled gently and blew on her.
"It doesn't hurt!" Shengnan shook her head sensibly, "But my skirt is dirty. Sister Wan, you told me to wear the most beautiful skirt, but now it's dirty!"
"It's okay, it's dirty!" Shu Wan comforted again, then stood up.
The moment he looked at Yu An Ning, the warmth in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Yu An Ning subconsciously felt a surge of fear, and had the urge to run away, but she quickly calmed down and felt that what she said was not wrong.
Shengnan was just a servant of the Shu family, but she was of noble status. She still didn't believe that she couldn't teach a servant a lesson after he bumped into her.
She was always right about this matter! Besides, she also wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate Shu Wan.
Now that she is no longer the wife of the city lord, what else can Shu Wan be arrogant about! Her mother has already promised her that when Rong Chen comes back, she will go to Zhao to discuss her marriage with Rong Chen!
She is the future wife of the city lord!
"Apologize!" Shu Wan didn't waste any words with her. He just said two words with such an overwhelming aura that Yu An Ning subconsciously wanted to surrender.
"Why?" Yu An Ning screamed loudly, as if this would make her more powerful than Shu Wan and make her appear to be right. "Shu Wan, you allowed your maid to bump into me, and even asked me to apologize to your maid. You are too lawless. Don't think that you can cover up everything just because you are the wife of the city lord! I tell you, today, you and your maid must apologize to me!"
Shu Wan didn't speak to her, but walked over slowly.
Yu Anning was a little nervous and swallowed unconsciously, but she still tried to remain calm.
"What do you want to do? I warn you, don't think that this is the Shu Mansion and you can do whatever you want!" Yu An Ning threatened, thinking that Shu Wan would not dare to do anything to her.
Shu Wan went behind her, raised his foot and gently stepped on her ankle. Yu An Ning fell to her knees with weak legs.
By the time she reacted and tried to struggle to get up, it was too late. Shu Wan's foot was on her back.
She didn't know where Shu Wan got so much strength from, she couldn't move at all.
"Shu Wan, are you crazy? How dare you do this to me?" Yu An Ning screamed, "Let me go, otherwise, I won't let you go!"
"Apologize!" Shu Wan repeated, turning a deaf ear to her threats.
"You want me to apologize? You're dreaming!" Yu An Ning would never give in to Shu Wan. "It was obviously your servant who did something wrong, but you are so indiscriminate. Shu Wan, do you still have the law in your eyes?"
"I am the law!" Shu Wan snorted and stepped on half of her face.
Yu Anning's face came into close contact with the ground! There was fine sand on the ground. If she struggled a little, the other side of her face would be hurt by the sand. It was so painful.
Unfortunately, Shu Wan's foot on her face continued to exert force, causing her to scream in pain.
"Shu Wan, I'm going to kill you, you bitch!" Yu An Ning started to curse, "You shameless bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
"Apologize!" Shu Wan said as he applied more force to his feet.
“Ahhh…” Yu An Ning felt like she was about to die.
She didn't apologize, but Shu Wan didn't stop pressing on her.
In the end, Yu An Ning couldn't bear it anymore and cried and apologized to Shengnan and Qiuyue, sounding very sincere.
Shu Wan withdrew his foot, and Yu An Ning, who was free, climbed up using his hands and feet.
Her face hurt so much, and the side where Shu Wan stepped on it was already red and swollen.
On the other side, not only was there black mud, but bloodstains were also faintly visible.
It can be seen that he was indeed injured by the gravel on the ground.
"Shu Wan, I will kill you, I will not let you go!" Yu An Ning started shouting again after he was freed, but in the end, he only said these two sentences.
"Shengnan, let's go home!" Shu Wan didn't even look at her, he just took Shengnan's hand and walked away.
"That's right!" Shu Wan walked a few steps and stopped. "I am used to being arrogant. I'm afraid that one day I might fail and take your young lady's life." Shu Wan said this to An Ning's maid. He never looked at An Ning from beginning to end.
"So, please tell your general that in order to avoid this from happening, it would be better for you to ask the general to find a quiet place for your young lady to take good care of herself!" After saying that, without waiting for anyone to answer, he took Shengnan, Chunhua and Qiuyue directly back to the Shu Mansion.
On this side, after Shu Wan came over, someone saw that the situation was not right and sent people to look for someone.
So now, Zhao hurried over with a group of people.
Rong Chen followed closely behind, for he was afraid that Shu Wan would suffer a loss. However, after coming here, he did not see Shu Wan. His heart sank, thinking that Shu Wan must be angry, so he prepared to chase after him.
"Old lady, you have to make the decision for An Ning!" After seeing Zhao, Yu An Ning rushed over with ghostly howls, "Brother Chen, you have to make the decision for me. That Shu Wan, not only did she abuse the lynching law in the City Lord's Mansion, she also threatened to kill me! She also said that even in the City Lord's Mansion, she can do whatever she wants. This is simply not taking the old lady and Brother Chen seriously." She only picked up the things that were beneficial to her and exaggerated them.
She just didn't believe that they would still tolerate Shu Wan after she said that!
"Feng Ling, do as Madam says!" After Rong Chen heard Feng Ling's whispered report, his eyes turned cold. He gave an order expressionlessly and left.
"Yes, master!" Feng Ling obeyed the order obediently.
In fact, he arrived when Shu Wan just came here to cause trouble for Yu An Ning. He originally wanted to rescue Shengnan and Qiuyue.
But since Shu Wan was here, he simply hid and watched the show!
Anyway, based on his understanding of Shu Wan, Shu Wan will not suffer any loss.
If Shu Wan really suffered a loss, it would not be too late for him to leave.
Because if he left right away, when Shu Wan was teaching Yu An Ning a lesson, he might have to symbolically stop her! Otherwise, it would damage the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion.
Whenever he thought of this, he would shake his head and hide even more secretly.
"Brother Chen!" Seeing Rong Chen leaving, Yu An Ning shouted unwillingly.
When Zhao saw Yu An Ning's appearance, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
This doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all; it's simply a disgrace to the family.
"What is going on?" Zhao asked patiently.
Yu An Ning volunteered to report the matter with exaggeration, concealing the details that were unfavorable to himself and adding many charges that Shu Wan had not committed.
"Madam, we can't just listen to Miss Yu's one-sided opinion on this matter. We should also ask Miss Shu!" Someone gave Zhao some advice.
"Old Madam!" Feng Ling bowed, "The city lord means that you should listen to Miss Shu Wan and send Miss Yu out of the main city. Don't come back in your lifetime!"
"Why?" Upon hearing this, Yu An Ning immediately exploded, "Who the hell is Shu Wan? What right does she have to chase me away?" Yu An Ning almost rushed up to Feng Ling to ask for an explanation.
Zhao was increasingly dissatisfied with An Ning! "Reply, old lady!" Feng Ling ignored Yu An Ning, "We all have seen what Miss Shu Wan is like. On that day, Miss Shu Wan went to Chiyan alone to rescue the city lord, regardless of the danger!"
"I have always been by my master's side, and I can see how much Miss Shu Wan has suffered for this."
"I was almost killed by someone who set me on fire. My identity was almost exposed several times. It can be said that I was walking on the edge of a knife!"
"On the way back to the city, I saw a child suffering, so I rescued him and brought him with me!"
"As for the plague in Blackwater City this time, let alone that."
"When everyone was panicking and didn't know what to do, she was the first to step forward and come up with a series of solutions!"
"Whether it's coming up with ways to isolate people and prevent them from moving around, or making masks so that everyone, whether sick or healthy, can wear them to prevent more people from getting infected."
"Even more, in Songyang County, she did everything herself and was so tired that she didn't even have time to eat or drink!"
"Everyone has seen all her efforts and hard work, as well as her contribution to Blackwater City!"
"How could such a passionate and upright person do such a thing as instigating his servants to insult Miss Yu and even beat her for no reason?"
"In my opinion, there is no need to investigate this matter. If you really want to send someone to call Miss Shu Wan back, let her explain herself!"
"Madam, the relationship between the city lord and Miss Shu Wan is very delicate. If this matter makes her feel wronged."
"I'm afraid..." Feng Ling hesitated when he said this.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao asked him.
"I'm afraid that the city lord will really have to divorce Miss Shu Wan!" Feng Ling replied with a blink of his eyes.
When everyone first heard the word "divorce", they were a little confused.
Didn’t Shu Wan and Rong Chen divorced a long time ago?
"Madam, it's like this!" Feng Ling looked at the confused expressions of the crowd and knew what they were thinking, so he explained, "The city lord feels that he was not aware of the divorce letter, so it stands to reason that the divorce letter is invalid!"
"But Miss Shu Wan feels that a divorce is a divorce, and the divorce letter was given to her by the old lady herself, so how can it be invalid!"
"So the two of them are now in a stalemate! It depends on who compromises!"
"If Miss Shu Wan feels aggrieved and angry now, then the City Lord will..."
…
The truth was finally revealed, and several people witnessed it.
So everyone quickly found out the whole story.
Yu An Ning did not get any good results this time, not to mention being punished by the Zhao family.
After Feng Ling relayed Shu Wan's words to Yu Jianning, Yu Jianning just said that he knew.
…
Shu Wan didn't know about these things.
Shu Wan brought Shengnan back home, found a doctor to give her medicine, and stayed with her for a long time, only leaving after she coaxed her to sleep!
When she came out, she saw Rong Chen standing there waiting for her.
Shu Wan was stunned for a moment, then walked past him expressionlessly, treating him as if he were air.
"Wanwan!" Rong Chen turned around and followed Shu Wan closely.
Shu Wan ignored him and quickly went back to the yard.
She was ready to lock Rong Chen outside, but Rong Chen was so persistent and shameless that he jumped in quickly at the moment Shu Wan closed the door.
This saved him the trouble of climbing out the window! "What's the matter? Tell me now!" Shu Wan frowned slightly, his tone a little impatient.
"Nothing!" Rong Chen shook his head, "I just missed you!" He smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.
He came here to comfort Shu Wan, but he couldn't apologize. He was not on Yu An Ning's side and didn't need to apologize.
"I understand now. You can leave!" Shu Wan pointed at the door and started to chase him away directly without any roundabout way.
"Wanwan!" Rong Chen felt depressed.
"Is there anything else?" Shu Wan asked, "If nothing else, I'm going to rest!"
"Yes." Rong Chen pretended not to hear her words of chasing him away, "We haven't seen each other for several hours!"
"Rong Chen!" Shu Wan interrupted him, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly. I'm very tired!" Shu Wan raised his eyes and looked at him seriously.
Then Rong Chen opened his arms and hugged Shu Wan into his arms! "I've already been taught a lesson!" Rong Chen's low voice reached Shu Wan's ears, "I will never pollute Wan Wan's eyes again!"
Shu Wan blinked before she realized what Rong Chen was talking about.
…
Rong Chen kept talking to Shu Wan for a long time, and was finally driven away by Shu Wan in the middle of the night because he could no longer bear it.
After returning, Rong Chen felt uncomfortable from time to time, so Feng Ling called a doctor for him.
