Chapter 66 Shen Yan asks her for medicine, she doesn't want to break off all ties.
The Shen family felt sorry for her when they saw her crying like this, and they discussed asking the Third Prince for medicine to treat her wounds.
Madam Shen and the Third Prince's mother are sisters, and their families are related by marriage. Shen Yan secretly helped him with his affairs, and originally thought that this time the request for medicine would go smoothly.
The Third Prince coldly replied, "I don't have any either."
Shen Yan noticed the large and small bundles at the guards' feet; surely they would have something as commonly used as wound medicine?
Thinking of his younger sister, he could only shamelessly say, "Your Highness, Yu'er is your cousin. You can't just stand by and watch her die. She's badly injured, and without wound medicine, she won't be able to continue her journey this afternoon. Please, Your Highness, grant her the medicine."
The Third Prince went from being a royal grandson to an exiled prisoner, depressed and frustrated, and didn't want to talk to anyone. Unfortunately, Shen Yan was not good at reading people's expressions, and his gloomy brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his dark eyes.
To win the Third Prince's favor, Yun Jiaoyue stepped forward to help him solve his problems, and then, using the same trick again, pointed at Yun Zhaoxue over there and said:
“Young Master Shen, I am also very saddened by Qingyu’s injury, but we really did not bring any wound medicine. Why don’t you go over there and ask? I just saw my eldest sister applying medicine to the young master and washing his wound with water. The couple was having a fight, but given the old friendship between you and my second sister, she will definitely give it to you.”
Shen Yan looked at her gratefully, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for informing me, Yue'er. I'll go right away."
Yue'er is still so kind; she truly deserves to be the woman he loves.
He then walked towards Yun Zhaoxue.
Yun Jiaoyue smiled, turned around and sat down beside the Third Prince, reaching out to take his arm, "Your Highness..."
She had barely sat down when the Third Prince elbowed her away, catching her off guard and shoving her to the ground with a loud thud!
The concubines, maids, guards, and servants of the Third Prince's residence all looked in this direction.
Yun Jiaoyue, acting like the proper wife, bossed around the concubines like servants. When she saw the concubine being pushed down by the Third Prince, she chuckled softly, "Pfft~"
The maids practically carried Yun Jiaoyue the whole way. They were so tired from walking that they were dragging her along that they were exhausted and lay on the ground, unable to move.
Seeing Yun Jiaoyue being pushed down, he had no choice but to drag his tired body over and help her up.
I thought to myself, "My life is so miserable!"
It would have been better to be resold back then, or at least become a slave.
But their fate was never in their own hands; they had no choice.
Supported by her maid, Yun Jiaoyue felt embarrassed, her eyes instantly reddening. Biting her lower lip, she looked at the Third Prince with tearful and aggrieved eyes, "Your Highness, did I do something wrong?"
She didn't look in the mirror and didn't realize that her face was sunburnt, her skin was covered in dust, and her hair was a mess. She was no longer as beautiful as before and would not have stood out even among a pile of beggars.
Even with tears in her eyes, she couldn't evoke any pity or tenderness in the man.
The Third Prince was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had no heart to pity her.
He was reflecting on why he had ended up in such a predicament and how he needed to find a way to make a comeback.
His former gentle and refined demeanor was all an act. He's not in the capital now, and he doesn't need to put on an act for anyone. His unpredictable moods are his true nature.
On the other side, Shen Yan had already arrived in front of Yun Zhaoxue, and said arrogantly, "Yun Zhaoxue, I want wound medicine and gauze, and I also want water."
They finished all the water they brought.
Yun Zhaoxue had just finished eating peaches and wasn't full yet, so she ate some snacks.
Everyone made do with what they had for their first meal in exile. The guards knew they had food, but they didn't distribute any. These nobles probably wouldn't be used to cornbread, so they threw it away, which would be a waste. They would only distribute food after the food they brought was gone and they were starving.
She didn't want to cook a fancy meal.
There were many pastries in the car. There were a few that he didn't like to eat, so he gave them to the children, who then shared them with the adults.
Xiao Xuance was also involved.
After finishing the half-eaten hibiscus cake in her hand, Yun Zhaoxue handed the rest to the man beside her and sneered, "What kind of trash is always trying to get close to me? Do you think I'm easy to bully now?"
The original owner's title of "the most wicked woman in the capital" was fake, right? Nobody was afraid of her, and everyone dared to mess with her.
"Qingyu's whip marks are all because of you. You harmed her, so you should give her medicine to treat her wounds."
Yun Zhaoxue: "Did I send her to cause me trouble? Did I hit her? No! If you have the guts, go find the person who hit her. You're just a coward who picks on the weak!"
Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason, Shen Yan tried a softer approach, pleading in an almost begging tone, "Xue'er, I'm begging you, please, for the sake of our past relationship, give me some medicine, gauze, and water to save my sister. She's in a lot of pain right now."
"Past relationships? What relationships? Do I have any relationships with you?"
"You really won't give it to me?"
She simply replied, "No!"
Feeling humiliated by her public rejection, Shen Yan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Fine! Then don't blame me for tearing off the mask in front of the young master!"
His expression seemed to indicate that he was preparing something big, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
Yun Zhaoxue was also curious about how he was going to break off all pretense of civility. "Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say!"
Dragging your feet like that, no wonder it's the one below.
Shen Yan said, "You said you loved me, and you even called me Shen Lang, asking me to elope with you. Do you dare to deny it?"
Upon hearing this, the way everyone looked at Xiao Xuance was a mixture of sympathy, mockery, and curiosity...
Yun Zhaoxue chuckled, "So it's this trivial matter. I thought it was something else, something the whole city knows. I don't deny it, but I have my reasons. To preserve the bloodline of the Prince's Mansion, I deliberately tricked you into taking me away. Who knew you were only after my money? It was just mutual exploitation. Don't look at me with that look of betrayal."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan felt a void in his heart. Was she merely using him? How could that be? It was impossible.
She retorted, "I don't believe it. Why didn't you say you loved me, wanted to marry me, and even wanted to have an abortion, bear my child, and go to a secluded paradise in Jiangnan to live a life of seclusion, detached from worldly affairs..."
Yun Zhaoxue called out, "Stop! What do you think makes you better than my young master? Talent? Looks? Figure? My eyes aren't blind."
Shen Yan retorted, "Everyone has their own expertise. I am skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I am physically healthy, which is much better than the young master. You like me, but you just don't dare to admit it in front of the young master."
"It's all been exploitation, exploitation from beginning to end. Are you satisfied now?" Yun Zhaoxue stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and quickly slapped him twice. "Slap! Slap!!"
Xiao Xuance stepped forward, holding a stick, and pushed the man to the ground, striking him with the stick. "Bang!"
Shen Yan curled up and wailed, "Ah! It hurts! Help! Stop hitting me..."
Seeing this, Wu Chuang, who was not far away, spoke up to stop them, "What are you doing? That's enough. If you kill someone, you'll pay with your lives."
Madam Yang looked ashamed. "Xue'er, it turns out you were trying to save the child. I've been misunderstanding you all along. I was so foolish not to see your good intentions."
Yun Zhaoxue slightly raised her chin, "It's not too late to know now."
