If it weren't for the wrong timing and their identities, they would have gone straight up and told Yun Wanwan to live peacefully with Rong Chengxuan. They were afraid that if Rong Chengxuan got upset, they would be the ones to suffer. They didn't have any monthly salary to deduct from Rong Chengxuan. If they continued to deduct money, the whole family would be left with nothing.
Fortunately, they didn't have to worry for long. Rong Chengxuan said something that finally coaxed Yun Wanwan, and the smile on Rong Chengxuan's face finally became relaxed.
The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief. They watched as the Great Devil, before taking Yun Wanwan away, gave them a look with those terrifying eyes that could give them nightmares at night. The meaning behind the look was crystal clear.
The Great Devil was saying that if they dared to tell anyone about his shameful deeds today, none of them would survive. They hurriedly put down their work and gestured to Rong Chengxuan to shut up, showing him their determination not to tell anyone about this matter even if it meant death.
It was not until Rong Chengxuan took Yun Wanwan away that the guards felt their calves go weak when they recalled Rong Chengxuan's last look. It was really too scary. They didn't know what Yun Wanwan saw in that big devil.
Everyone present had heard Yun Wanwan and Hu Ge'er's storytelling, and they had heard numerous versions of it. Therefore, in their minds, Rong Chengxuan's image had been fixed by these stories. Today, it was clear that this was true. If Rong Chengxuan didn't feel guilty about Yun Wanwan, he wouldn't have been so indulgent towards her, right?
Rong Chengxuan certainly didn't know what they were thinking. He now wanted to take Yun Wanwan back to the ancient tomb and ask the guards who were still guarding there to move all the things in the tomb up and take them back to Prince An's Mansion for safekeeping.
Yun Wanwan stood aside and watched Rong Chengxuan talking to the Imperial Guards. Since Ye Lan had gone down with them once, Rong Chengxuan asked Ye Lan to take the guards from Prince An's Mansion down to move things, while the guards from the Imperial Guards were waiting upstairs.
After giving the order, Rong Chengxuan was still thinking about Jiang Wanwan, who had asked him to be escorted back to the palace. He asked Ye Lan to be responsible for moving these things back to Prince An's Mansion and then took Yun Wanwan back to the palace first.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Rong Chengxuan said that according to what Jiang Wanwan had said before, there should be some unknown organization behind her. If he didn't ask about it quickly, once those organizations really became powerful, it would really be like what Jiang Wanwan said, and the world would be in chaos.
Yun Wanwan definitely strongly supports Rong Chengxuan's work, but what Rong Chengxuan said to Jiang Wanwan before still left a small knot in her heart. She just told Rong Chengxuan not to stay in the same room with Jiang Wanwan and that he must be accompanied by guards, and then let Rong Chengxuan go.
This was the first time that Yun Wanwan felt jealous in front of Rong Chengxuan, and the first time she showed possessiveness towards Rong Chengxuan. These were all manifestations of Yun Wanwan's care for Rong Chengxuan.
Not to mention just not allowing Rong Chengxuan to be alone with Jiang Wanwan in a room, if Yun Wanwan wasn't afraid of damaging her image, Rong Chengxuan would have agreed if she asked him to go out with a piece of paper that said "Yun Wanwan's exclusive item" on it.
After Rong Chengxuan left, Yun Wanwan headed for the Imperial Garden. She felt most familiar with the Imperial Garden throughout the palace, and she was frustrated that she hadn't been able to truly see how large, beautiful, and exquisite the ancient Imperial Garden was on previous trips. So, she decided to take this opportunity to explore the legendary Imperial Garden.
A lot of flowers bloomed in early summer, and the faint fragrance of flowers could be smelled everywhere in the garden. The flowers were colorful and the garden was very lively.
The place where Concubine Shu fell and slandered the former Empress Su Yuanyuan was in the pavilions and towers of the Imperial Garden. When Yun Wanwan went there this time, it was completely different from the desolate atmosphere last time.
That place is now dotted with vibrant green bamboos and strangely shaped rocks. Those strange rocks are stacked together, abrupt and rugged, and very imposing.
"How has Sister Yun been these days?"
"The cloth shop just received a batch of silk a few days ago. When Sister Liu is able to leave the palace someday, I'd like to invite her to go take a look."
"There was a new play at the theater yesterday. If Sister Liu is interested, would you like to go and listen to it later?"
The sounds of conversation in the distance and occasional whispers fell into Yun Wanwan's ears.
"What's going on with your sister? I heard that you've suffered a lot at her hands recently."
"Alas, although my parents treat me better than my sister, I am still the outsider. They are their biological daughters, abandoned and raised in the mountains, while I, a child adopted from nowhere, can replace her and become the lady of the mansion. Anyone would feel unbalanced, and it is only natural for them to target me."
"But I can't treat you like this, can I? After all, this is the sin of Madam Yun and General Yun. What does it have to do with you? After all, you are also the victim. Why does she treat you like this? No, when I see her one day, I will definitely avenge you!"
"Sister Liu, forget it... She's going to marry His Royal Highness Prince An soon. With His Royal Highness Prince An around, you're going to suffer a lot at her hands. After all, this bitch has His Royal Highness Prince An completely bewitched. I'm afraid she's the only woman on Prince An's mind right now!"
"What's wrong with His Royal Highness Prince An? Even if she has His Royal Highness Prince An's support, so what? No matter what, her status is not as high as mine! Who does she think she is?"
…
It took Yun Wanwan a while to understand they were discussing her. One of them was her less-than-promising younger sister, Yun Yaoyao. If she remembered correctly, shouldn't Yun Yaoyao still be outside the city?
Yesterday, when she and Rong Chengxuan were leaving the city, the guards from Prince An's Mansion came to tell them that the second young lady of the Yun Mansion was also outside the city. They asked whether they should bring her into the city. After all, it was very chaotic outside the city at that time, and it was not safe for Yun Yaoyao, a girl, to be outside. Moreover, Yun Yaoyao was the sister of the future princess, so they should at least tell Yun Wanwan.
But when Yun Wanwan heard it, she just said lightly, "Let her do it," and ignored Yun Yaoyao.
Now she thought about it and found it a little strange. Yun Yaoyao was a young lady who lived in a mansion. It was impossible for her to go out of the city to do business in person. Especially when the ground collapsed, there was not a single guard or maid around her. It seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
But at that time, Yun Wanwan was completely focused on the sinkhole and didn't think about it carefully. Now that she saw her appear in the palace again, she felt confused.
