Chapter 410 is a caring person
Yu Wan felt a "boom" in her brain, and a scalding heat, like a surging tide, quickly spread from her ears to her whole body.
Her face flushed, and she stammered for a long time before finally unable to hold back and saying, "You... how did you become like this?!"
Yun Shang grasped her fingertips, their fingers intertwined. "Like this? How about it?"
Yu Wan felt a tingling sensation all over her body from the calluses on his palms, and her breathing became erratic.
Her heart pounded, and she took a few frantic deep breaths, trying to steady her breathing: "You used to..."
What was he like before?
They seem to exist outside of the world, not in reality, and without any weaknesses.
In the original work, Yun Shang is such a person. He stands in a high position and becomes the regent, seemingly only to become the one in power, not for benefits, power, or the female lead, but simply because it is his predetermined destiny.
Therefore, he was neither sad nor happy.
Yu Wan had only experienced such a cloud-like atmosphere during the period immediately after she transmigrated into the book.
She didn't know when, but Yun Shang suddenly became alive again.
He became like a real person, rather than a flawless, fabricated two-dimensional character.
And he became like this because of... her?
Yu Wan stared at him, her gaze intense.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, only her eyes grew increasingly intense, Yun Shang felt a pang of discomfort, but he suppressed his curiosity and asked with a slight pursing of his lips, "How was I before?"
Yu Wan's gaze was intense as she whispered, "You used to be so cold to me and didn't like to talk much, but now you're shameless and dare to say anything."
Yun Shang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips parted. Yu Wan thought he was about to speak, so she listened attentively.
Unexpectedly, the person who was about to speak suddenly lowered his head, opened his mouth, and bit her lips hard.
Yu Wan let out a soft groan in pain.
A hint of pleasure flickered in Yun Shang's eyes. "Do you like it?"
Yu Wan's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I like it."
The bright moon outside hid behind the dark clouds, only peeking out from time to time.
In the quiet night, there were occasional very soft voices and seemingly uncontrollable humming.
"...I've been thinking about you every single moment these past two months."
"Oh."
"Oh what? And you?"
"Oh dear, you have no idea how much has happened in Shengjing these past two months while you were gone. I've been busy every day..."
So you don't miss me?
"……think."
……
The commotion at the Yun residence didn't subside until dawn.
As dawn broke, a carriage stealthily left the Yun residence and headed towards the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Inside the carriage, Yu Wan slept soundly, her body sprawled out in various positions.
Xizhu quickly pressed the girl's head onto her shoulder, wrapped her arms around her waist, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, it's getting late. Why are you so sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yu Wan weakly raised her hand.
I'm so sleepy I don't even want to talk.
It's not just that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep well at all!
Yun Shang must have suddenly gone crazy, he's been pestering her again and again, and he hasn't stopped talking the whole time.
This was the first time Yu Wan had realized that Yun Shang was so eloquent.
He probably said more last night than he has in the past ten years combined.
Xi Zhu recalled the noises coming from the bridal chamber during their wedding, and then looked at Yu Wan's exhausted appearance. She instantly understood and her face flushed red.
She opened her mouth, but in the end only said, "Then, young lady, continue to sleep. I'll help you."
She opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said only, "Then please continue to sleep, young lady. I will help you."
But I couldn't help but feel resentful inside.
The son-in-law is really something, how can he not care about the girl at all?
Even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, it's still wrong to go so far.
Xizhu was furious, so when she returned to the Duke of Anguo's mansion, she couldn't help but complain to the Duke of Anguo's wife.
Lady Anguo almost burst out laughing when she saw Xizhu's face turn red and her stammering complaint.
She suppressed her laughter and gestured for Xizhu to go to the outer room, then said with a light laugh, "Don't worry, the young master treats Wan'er very well; he's a caring person."
When she covered her daughter with a blanket earlier, she paid special attention and found that her daughter was clean and without any marks.
Lady Anguo was an experienced woman, and she knew very well that if a man didn't know how to treat a woman with tenderness during intercourse, she would end up with bruises all over her body. She had done it many times before... cough cough.
Wan'er was completely clean, without a single mark.
This is enough to show that Yun Shang greatly admired Yu Wan.
Lady Anguo was very happy and went to the front hall with a smile, but after learning from Duke Anguo that the emperor had ordered Yunshang to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials, her face darkened.
Is this making Yun Shang an enemy of all the powerful families?
"Is there any way to turn this matter around?" Lady Anguo asked Duke Anguo, her eyes filled with worry.
Duke Anguo's expression was solemn as he shook his head. "The Emperor's mind is made up. Yun Shang has accepted this task, and I'm afraid he can't escape it."
"There are already rumors circulating in the court that the emperor has been pretending to be incompetent all these years."
"Now that the Emperor has gained enough power and strength, he is able to confront the powerful families. Yun Shang has just caught his eye and become a tool in his hands."
Lady Anguo frowned deeply: "But those aristocratic families are deeply entrenched and entrenched. Isn't His Majesty's move putting Yun Shang in the eye of the storm?"
Thinking of all this, Lady Anguo felt as if she were being tormented by a raging fire.
"Wan'er has only had a few good days in Shengjing, how did she get caught up in such trouble?"
"That kid Yun Shang, why did he take on this task?"
Lady Anguo knew that her complaints were unreasonable, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for her daughter who had only recently married into the Yun family and was already living in fear.
Duke Anguo sighed, put his arm around his wife, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Yun Shang has already caught the Emperor's eye, and he can't refuse this assignment just because he wants to."
"Now that things have come to this, we can only try to help Yun Shang. I still have some connections in the court; let's see if I can lend him a hand in secret."
Yu Wan slept soundly in bed, while Yun Shang was already confronting someone at the Ministry of Revenue.
Emperor Wenjing's order to investigate corrupt officials was not just a matter of a single sentence; he secretly had someone give him a list.
The people on the list are not important figures, but they all come from prominent families, so investigating them will not be easy.
Yun Shang needed some officials' files, so he came to the Ministry of Revenue early in the morning.
The newly appointed Minister of Revenue, named Li Zhang, came from the Li clan of Chen Commandery. He appeared polite to Yun Shangke, but every word he uttered was perfunctory.
“Lord Yun, it’s not that I’m not going to cooperate with you, but unfortunately, a few days ago there was a fire in the storeroom. The fire was fierce and destroyed a lot of archives. The scene was chaotic when the fire was being put out, and the storeroom’s files were all messed up. I haven’t had time to sort them out yet, so I can’t find the things that Lord Yun needs in the short term.”
Li Zhang smiled and said, "But don't worry, Lord Yun, I will have people hurry up and organize it, and send it to you as soon as possible."
But whether "as soon as possible" means one or two days, or one or two months, is uncertain.
