As she spoke, Yang Shuhuan made a move to crash into the pillar, but Shen Yun snapped out of his daze and quickly pulled her back.
His eyes held a hint of disbelief, but also a touch of regret. "You...you mean you asked Marquis Wuding to invite the Second Prince?"
Shen Yun held Yang Shuhuan's shoulder in a daze, his expression gradually improving, and a hint of joy seemed to be about to burst forth.
"Of course it's true, Brother Yun. How could I just stand by and watch you be in danger? As long as Brother Yun has a place for Huan'er in his heart, Huan'er will be content."
Looking at the pitiful Yang Shuhuan in front of him, Shen Yun suddenly felt a strange emotion.
He was indeed too impulsive just now; he hit her without asking why.
"Brother, I told you not to wrong Sister Shuhuan. She's been doing this for you!"
Shen Jia stood behind and chimed in. By this time, Ru Yan had already retrieved the ice.
Shen Yun hurriedly took it and gently placed the ice cube on Yang Shuhuan's face.
Then she asked softly, "Does it hurt? I was so angry just now that I accidentally hit you. I'm sorry..."
Shen Yun frowned slightly as he looked at Yang Shuhuan's swollen face, once again regretting his actions.
"The Second Prince does indeed value me highly. He extended an olive branch to me twice before. I was really foolish to insist on serving Xiao Xuan. Now it seems that the Second Prince is the wise ruler we should serve."
As he spoke, Shen Yun helped Yang Shuhuan sit down, poured her a glass of water, and then continued to apply a face mask to her face.
"When he brought me back just now, he told me that once my injuries have healed, he would let me command 30,000 troops. He doesn't know yet that my military seal has been taken away. I feel that I must find a way to get those brothers who have followed me through thick and thin to join the Second Prince as well."
Yang Shuhuan had already forgotten her earlier grievances. Hearing Shen Yun say this, she realized that the Second Prince truly valued her highly.
Yang Shuhuan couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the Second Prince really ascended the throne.
Based on her father's and Yun's merits, she would become a general's wife with great honors.
Perhaps if the second prince becomes emperor, he will even bestow an imperial title upon himself.
She originally thought she could get close to the Crown Prince, but now she has turned misfortune into good fortune and gotten close to the Second Prince.
The Second Prince's mother was deeply favored by His Majesty, and he himself had considerable influence, in addition to having many children.
No matter what, she's still better than Xiao Xuan, that homosexual who's indifferent to women.
It is a great taboo for the crown prince to have no children. We must find a way to bring him down and let him know the consequences of offending us!
Yang Shuhuan narrowed her fox-like eyes slightly, reached out and grasped Shen Yun's hand, "Brother Yun, all Huan'er wishes for now is for you to be well. Fame, fortune and wealth are all external things."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun realized for the first time that Yang Shuhuan was so understanding, and couldn't help but think of Ning Yin.
Today, he was almost beaten to death by the Crown Prince, yet she was so heartless that she wouldn't even see his face.
He risked his life to save her, transforming her from a mere merchant into the mistress of a general's mansion.
Now, she doesn't even care about saving face anymore. What does she take him for? A pair of worn-out shoes?
Shen Yun was filled with mixed emotions; he couldn't bear to part with Ning Yin, yet he was also somewhat attracted to the person before him.
She was a woman who truly cared for him; no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't bring himself to abandon Yang Shuhuan.
He touched the person's face and said, "Huan'er, fame, fortune, gold and silver will all be earned back. Have you forgotten who I, Shen Yun, am? I am the God of War of the Great Qi. Since that scoundrel Xiao Xuan has crossed the river and burned the bridge, I will never let him get away with it."
As they were talking, Madam Wang came in. She had been watching the two pouring out their hearts to each other from outside the door, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
In retrospect, she had wronged Yang Shuhuan.
All the blame lies with that bitch Ning Yin; Yang Shuhuan genuinely meant well for Shen Yun.
Besides, she had just understood that Yang Shuhuan's father and the Second Prince were on the same side.
In other words, since they couldn't curry favor with the Crown Prince, now that they've managed to get close to the Second Prince, that's a pretty good option too.
Considering that the two families were related by marriage, she, as an elder, still felt somewhat embarrassed to apologize.
Yang Shuhuan had long seen through Wang's intentions, but she liked Shen Yun, not this old woman.
This old woman slapped herself several times today; how could she possibly swallow this insult?
Once she's officially married into the family, she'll make sure this old woman understands that she's not a pushover like Ning Yin, someone she can easily manipulate.
Seeing that Wang hesitated, Yang Shuhuan deliberately turned her head away to talk to Shen Yun.
Just as Shen Jia was about to explain for Wang Shi, she heard Green Bamboo come in from outside to report.
"Marquis Wuding and his son-in-law have arrived..."
The group turned around at the same time. Shen Yun thought that Marquis Wuding must have come to visit him after hearing that he was injured.
"Mother, our in-laws are here. Let's go over quickly."
Yang Shuhuan was also overjoyed. She had gone back today not only to seek help, but also for this very reason.
She had saved Shen Yun from his misfortune and even helped him get in touch with the Second Prince, so she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the marriage.
Only by truly marrying Shen Yun and becoming his wife will she have no worries.
Who knows if that bitch Ning Yin will be abandoned by Li Chengyan one day?
If Shen Yun softens his heart and brings her back, it would be better to just take over the position of mistress.
When the group arrived at the main hall, Marquis Wuding and Yang Shujing were drinking tea.
Shen Yun waved his hand at the servants, ordering them all to leave.
He hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.
