Chapter 79 I finally understand where the hostility comes from
Shu Wan talked for a long time like pouring candy beans out of his mouth, and finally stopped.
To be honest, Yu Wenyan was a little impressed that she could talk for such a long time without getting tired.
He was also considerate enough to pour Shu Wan a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Seeing this, Shu Wan quickly reached out to take it, and drank it down without any hesitation.
"Thank you!" Shu Wan thanked after drinking it, and then she felt that she was still thirsty, so she poured herself another glass.
"So I'm telling you, I will definitely not go back and get married obediently. Marriage is free, and love is free. I won't accept the advice of my parents or the matchmaker! What do you think?" At the end, Shu Wan, who still felt that he hadn't said happy enough, added another sentence.
"Miss Shu and I agree with each other. How can there be happiness if two people are forced to be together without true love?" Yu Wenyan nodded, indicating that he agreed with Shu Wan's words.
"Oh, I finally found someone who shares the same values as me." Shu Wan looked as if she had met him too late. If there weren't so many people here, she would have rushed up to give Yu Wenyan a big hug.
"However, Miss Shu, it is not a good idea for you to keep avoiding it. You can't keep avoiding your parents. You have to find a solution to this problem. You can go back and discuss it with them. It's obvious that they love you very much. If you really don't want to get married, I believe they won't force you to do it! They must be worried about you if you run away like this." As an outsider, Yu Wenyan couldn't follow Shu Wan in scolding his parents, so he still symbolically advised her.
"I understand what Master Wen said. A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. They are naturally afraid that I will suffer outside." Shu Wan sighed, "But if I go back now, I will inevitably be beaten by my father. So why don't I write them a letter to let them know I'm safe, and then go back when my father's anger has subsided. During this time, I can have a good time traveling around before going back? Anyway, I'm here now?" Shu Wan spread his hands, indicating that things had come to this point, so he might as well just take things as they come.
"I really admire Miss Shu's free and easy character! Yu Wenyan didn't say this as a writer. Regardless of the truthfulness of Shu Wan's words, the casualness in her eyes could not be faked. "By the way, why didn't I see Mr. Yu who was traveling with you today..." He shifted the subject to Yu Jianning.
"Oh, him? I asked him to find someone to ask when the princess from Beishuo will arrive here. It's so boring! He should come to see me quickly so I can leave." Shu Wan answered half-truthfully, "If I can't see her here, I'll go to the capital to see her!" Shu Wan's eyes sparkled.
"Ms. Shu, have you not given up on meeting this princess?" Yuwen Yan laughed, "Your persistence is really admirable!" He couldn't help but give Shu Wan a thumbs up.
"Beauty is always lonely!" Shu Wan said narcissistically, "Always want to find a rival!" She blinked at Yuwen Yan.
"If I can beat my opponent, I will be happy. But what if I am beaten by others?" Yu Wenyan became interested and really expected to hear Shu Wan's answer.
"If I am outdone by someone, I will definitely lose my appetite and sleep, and I will be furious and unconvinced, thinking that those who say I am ugly are blind and have no vision. Then I will find evidence to prove that I am better than the other person, such as I am whiter, taller, thinner, and have a straighter nose, she has body odor and I don't... and so on! Master Wen, you won't understand! We girls care about our appearance more than anything else. Do you know? I once ate cucumbers for a week just to keep in shape!" Speaking of this, Shu Wan is also an expert. What she said is still the truth. For girls to be beautiful, there is really nothing they dare not do except you! (The author shed tears of regret as he looked at his 120-pound fat head.) After Shu Wan finished speaking, Yuwen Yan did not reply for a long time. Shu Wan, who could not wait for a reply, looked up at him and wondered what this man was doing. Did he accidentally lose his concentration when talking to her?
When he raised his eyes, he saw Yu Wenyan staring at him blankly with an indescribable expression on his face. It seemed as if he saw other people and things through Shu Wan!
"Master Wen?" Shu Wan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond, she asked again, "Master Wen?" This time, Yuwen Yan finally reacted, so Shu Wan quickly withdrew her hand.
"Sorry, Miss Shu, I'm sorry for what happened just now!" Yu Wenyan quickly concealed the emotions in his eyes, then returned to his previous appearance and apologized to Shu Wan.
"It's okay, it's okay." Shu Wan waved his hand. "I didn't expect that Master Wen would be so interested in what I said and was so fascinated by it!" Shu Wan found a way out for him.
"Miss Shu is really interesting. What you said today is what I have heard someone say to me before!" He smiled and his tone softened unconsciously.
"So that's how it is!" Shu Wan understood immediately, it turned out that he was talking about his sweetheart.
"By the way, Miss Shu!" As if he didn't want to continue this topic, Yu Wenyan took the initiative to change the subject, "The Young Master Yu who was with you, he is your..." The inquiry in his eyes was very obvious.
"Oh, him, he is my cousin, the son of my aunt. I was able to escape safely this time, thanks to him." Shu Wan explained fluently, "But Mr. Wen, please don't misunderstand me, he and I have a pure brother and sister relationship. He and I are the type where I look down on him and he looks down on me!" Shu Wan was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained that she and Yu Jianning were just brother and sister.
"Don't worry, Miss Shu. I don't think so." Yu Wenyan replied. He saw that Shu Wan naturally wouldn't have any thoughts about her cousin, but he didn't know whether his cousin had the same idea.
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly!
"That's good. Speaking of this, let me tell you!" Shu Wan continued to make up a story, "The adults from our two families once really thought about arranging a marriage for us, but didn't I always treat him as a brother? So I was directly confused. Then, my uncle and aunt asked my cousin for his opinion, and he just turned around and left. Hahaha, the matter was just left unresolved! Later, we both tacitly agreed that this incident had never happened!" As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing.
Yuwen Yan was standing beside him.
The two seemed to get along particularly well, so after breakfast, they made an appointment to go shopping together.
Shu Wan's legs were really strong, even Yu Wenyan admired her from the bottom of his heart, because in the whole morning, Shu Wan visited more than a dozen clothing stores, more than a dozen jewelry stores, jade shops and other shops of all sizes.
In the end, she bought a lot of things that were not actually very useful, and it was such a big bag that she had trouble carrying it.
"Miss Shu, if you don't mind, please let me help you do it!" Seeing that she really couldn't lift it, Yu Wenyan offered to help.
"Okay, then I won't be polite!" Shu Wan really didn't want to be polite, because she really couldn't lift it. Even if Yu Wenyan didn't say anything, she would have to say it first. In this case, it would save him from embarrassment. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen." After handing the thing to Yu Wenyan, she thanked him again.
When Yuwen Yan said he would help her pay for the money, he refused, because Shu Wan had nothing but money, but she shouldn't and couldn't refuse a job like carrying things! "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning!" Yuwen Yan carried it and walked away, easily.
Shu Wan followed behind.
"I really envy you, Master Wen. If I were given another chance, I would definitely learn martial arts, so that I wouldn't have such a hard time carrying things now!" She sighed sincerely, it's great to have kung fu.
"Miss Shu is already very impressive!" Yu Wenyan slowed down his pace and waited for her, then spoke.
"Thank you for the compliment." Shu Wan thanked him with a smile, "It's time for dinner now, why don't we find a place to eat!" She was hungry.
"Okay, I know a good restaurant nearby, I'll take Miss Shu there!" Yu Wenyan suggested.
"Okay, but let me make it clear first, I have to treat you!" Shu Wan agreed happily.
"That's not good!" Yu Wenyan hesitated, "It was Miss Shu who paid for this morning's meal."
"Don't say that. It would be unreasonable for me not to treat you to a meal after making Master Wen waste his time accompanying me shopping and helping me carry things."
"It can't be said to be a waste, it can only be said to be my honor." Yu Wenyan is very good at grasping the key points.
"Let's go!" Shu Wan smiled.
Yuwen Yan brought Shu Wan to a large restaurant here. After they entered the door, the shopkeeper came up to them immediately. After saying some flattering words, he immediately asked someone to take them to the private room by the window on the third floor.
Sitting here, you can clearly see the pedestrians passing by on the street below.
After the steward came up and introduced the dishes to them enthusiastically and in detail and gave them the highest level of treatment, Shu Wan couldn't help but sigh.
It’s great to have the ability to read minds. Now I know that this is Yuwen Yan’s.
But Yu Wenyan's behavior of taking her to the restaurant under his name and asking her to treat him to a meal did not seem to be profitable no matter how you looked at it.
But regardless of whether he can make money or not, the food is really delicious. No wonder he can do such a big business in a relatively poor border area like Jinzhou.
When they were halfway through their meal, Shu Wan caught a glimpse of Yu Jianning appearing on the street. She put down her chopsticks and stretched out her hand to greet Yu Jianning.
"Cousin!" Her voice was so recognizable that Yu Jianning recognized her and turned around.
"Here." Shu Wan waved vigorously, "Come up quickly and eat together!" She kept giving Yu Jianning a look.
Hearing the word "cousin", Yu Jianning knew that Shu Wan must have been talking nonsense in front of Yu Wenyan again.
But what can you do? Just bear it and cooperate! Who told this lady to be so arrogant? Yu Jianning went up to the third floor without saying a word under the guidance of the waiter.
"Master Wen!" Yu Jianning greeted him indifferently.
"Mr. Yu." Yu Wenyan nodded with a smile.
"Cousin, come and sit down!" Shu Wan pulled him to sit down, "Tell me quickly how the investigation is going, have you found any accurate information!" Her face was full of anxiety, and her eager eyes were almost looking at Yu Jianning.
"I found out." Yu Jianning rolled his eyes at her. "The Beishuo marriage team will arrive in Jinzhou tomorrow afternoon, and then rest at the post station for one night. The team will set off the day after tomorrow morning. If you really want to see the true face of the princess who is to be married, you only have time from tomorrow afternoon to the day after tomorrow morning!" Although his eyes were full of disgust, he still said what he had to say.
"The time is too short. Let me see what to do!" Shu Wan pinched her chin and thought, "How about we sneak into the post station tomorrow night?" Her eyes lit up.
"Don't you want to live?" Yu Jianning cursed, "If you rush in like this rashly, you'll be mistaken for an assassin and killed on the spot." Yu Jianning almost slapped her.
"Who said I'm going to break in like this?" Shu Wan said angrily, "I can disguise myself as a maid at the post station and sneak in. I can find a chance to bring water to the princess or something, and then I can see her, right? Yes, that's it, I have to sneak in today. What if something unexpected happens tomorrow and I can't get in, then all my efforts will be in vain, right?" Shu Wan was about to stand up while speaking, and he looked so anxious, as if he would be too late if he was a moment later.
"Sit down!" Yu Jianning pulled her back, "Don't be so rash anymore. Even if you really want to go in, you should plan it well. Do you think you don't want to live long enough?"
Shu Wan sat back feeling aggrieved and glanced at Yu Wenyan sheepishly.
"In fact, Miss Shu, there is no need to be so anxious. You will always be able to think of a better solution!" Yu Wenyan advised.
Before Shu Wan could speak, Yu Jianning spoke first.
"Master Wen, I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor, so you must be rich or noble. I wonder if you can help me think of a way to help my sister!" Yu Jianning's tone was rarely soft. "If I don't fulfill her wishes, I don't know what will happen. By then, I'm afraid I may even lose my life. If Master Wen can lend a helping hand, I will definitely repay you for your kindness!" How could he not drag Yuwen Yan into the water?
"Mr. Yu, you are joking. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best to help you!" Yu Wenyan thought that he should understand why Yu Jianning was always hostile to him. "But, I dare not guarantee it. I can only try. If I can help you, everyone will be happy. But if I am useless and can't help at all, please don't mind!" He said the ugly words in advance.
"We are already very grateful to Master Wen for his generosity and help. How can we still blame him?" Yu Jianning once again stopped Shu Wan from speaking.
Shu Wan had no choice but to swallow the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
She looked at Yuwen Yan innocently!
Rong Xiaochen: He actually locked me up in a small dark room, drew a circle and cursed my own mother, causing her to choke while drinking water.
Mouheng: It’s still not too late to change Wanwan’s partner now!
Rong Xiaochen: I was wrong X﹏X
