Chapter 267 I'll make you so angry
Yu Wan caught a glimpse of Yun Shang's deep eyes out of the corner of her eye. Although she didn't know exactly what he was thinking, her intuition told her that his gaze was definitely related to her.
This guy is probably suspecting something again.
However, she didn't intend to keep it a secret any longer.
In any case, Yun Shang and Shen Shi must have already noticed his unusual behavior. Since neither of them mentioned it, it can be considered that they tacitly and intentionally ignored the matter.
Whoever she is, it's enough that she is Yu Wan now.
After finalizing all the details of the custom-made headdress with the shopkeeper, Yu Wan happily pulled Yun Shang along, ready to get up and leave.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, carrying a mocking laugh, yet sounding extremely grating.
"Isn't this Madam Yun? You have time to stroll around Jinlou. It seems the matter with Yu's Hot Pot has been resolved."
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Wan felt an immediate and disgusted sensation, as if she had swallowed a fly, and mentally rolled her eyes.
This jinx, it's like a ghost, I can't shake it off.
Looking up, one could see Prince Yong standing at the door of the private room.
He wore that annoying, half-smiling expression on his face, and a woman was leaning against him.
Her attire was so gaudy it was almost vulgar; she wore a long, brightly colored silk dress and had thick makeup on her face, making her look far from being a lady of high birth.
When the woman saw Yu Wan, her eyes instantly became wary, as if she had spotted a potential rival in love.
She looked Yu Wan up and down, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
The woman in front of me wasn't dressed extravagantly, but she possessed an indescribable charm.
Her eyes were clear and bright, radiating intelligence and liveliness; they were so captivating that it was impossible to look away.
She had seen countless men and knew best that this was the kind of woman men liked best.
The woman instinctively tightened her grip on Prince Yong's arm, pressing her body almost entirely against him, her voice sweet and alluring: "Your Highness, if you keep staring at this lady like that, I'll get jealous."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong glanced down at the woman beside him, smiled, and reached out to pinch her chin, teasingly saying, "She's nothing compared to my darling, so charming and beautiful. She's quite boring."
As he spoke, his gaze swept lightly over Yu Wan, carrying undisguised contempt.
Yun Shang frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his originally gentle eyes, his gaze like a turbulent undercurrent hidden beneath a calm lake.
He subtly shielded Yu Wan behind him.
Just as he was about to say something, Yu Wan reached out and pulled down the hem of his clothes, her voice low, "I'll take care of it."
Yun Shang was slightly taken aback, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he still stepped aside and stood beside Yu Wan.
Yu Wan raised her eyes to look at Prince Yong, a slight smile playing on her lips, meeting his disdainful gaze with complete indifference.
She gave a slight curtsy, her tone calm yet carrying a barely perceptible chill: "Your Highness is too kind. The matter of Yu's Hotpot is not complicated at all, and it is naturally not difficult to resolve. Thanks to the person behind the scenes, their attempt to harm Yu's Hotpot failed, and instead, Yu's Hotpot business has become even more prosperous."
She smiled and said, "I was thinking of properly thanking the person who instigated this."
The smile on Prince Yong's face froze instantly.
An inexplicable fire rose within me.
Why does Yu Wan never play by the rules?!
He sent people to cause trouble at Yu's place, but instead of causing any trouble for the two men, it backfired!
When Kangxi and Qianlong came to report, he angrily smashed the tea set he had just acquired.
Then he immediately sent someone to find out where Yu Wan and the others were. It was no coincidence that they met at the Golden Pavilion.
He stared coldly at Yu Wan, his hand hanging at his side slowly clenching into a fist.
This stroke of luck gave them a slight advantage, but it won't be so easy next time!
He suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, "It seems that Madam Yun is indeed very lucky. However, this luck won't last forever."
Yu Wan raised her eyes, smiling, but her tone held a hidden sharpness: "Your Highness is right, luck is indeed something that is hard to grasp."
"But I think that as long as you do honest and upright things, you can still stand firm in this world even if you lose your luck. Unlike some people who always think about using dirty tricks, in the end, they will probably only end up shooting themselves in the foot."
Seeing that they had completely ignored her, the beautiful woman beside Prince Yong rolled her eyes and suddenly shouted angrily, "You woman, how dare you speak so rudely to the prince!"
Her shout certainly drew everyone's attention to her.
The beautiful woman, under the gaze of everyone, raised her chin and became even more arrogant towards Yu Wan: "The prince is of noble status and will not tolerate such disrespect from a lowly woman like you! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really think that no one in this capital can control you!"
Yu Wan looked at her with a complicated expression.
Is this how you seek validation?
Yu Wan never lost a verbal battle. She glanced at Yun Shang, her face showing just the right amount of confusion.
"Husband, have you heard a dog barking? Where is that barking coming from?"
This seemingly casual remark immediately triggered a wave of sarcasm.
The beautiful woman's face flushed red with anger at Yu Wan's words, her chest heaving violently. She looked at Prince Yong, her eyes filled with grievance and pleading: "Your Highness, look at her! How dare she humiliate me like this! You must stand up for me!"
Prince Yong lowered his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.
Just when the beautiful woman thought that Prince Yong would stand up for her, Prince Yong suddenly raised his hand.
There was a "pop" sound.
He slapped the beautiful woman hard across the face.
The sudden slap startled Yu Wan and Yun Shang.
The beautiful woman's eyes widened in disbelief as she covered her instantly swollen cheek, staring at Prince Yong with tears welling in her eyes: "Your Highness, why...why did you hit me?"
Prince Yong's face was gloomy, and his tone was icy: "You, who come from a brothel, don't you know your place? How dare you be so rude to Madam Yun!"
The beautiful woman met his gloomy gaze, her body trembled, as if her spine had been removed, and she instantly went limp.
Prince Yong was a frequent visitor to her, but this was the first time she had ever seen him so angry.
This slap brought her to her senses completely; in the Prince of Yong's heart, she was nothing more than a dispensable plaything.
The woman was terrified and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Highness, I...I know I was wrong."
Prince Yong glanced at her. "Whom should you apologize to?"
The beautiful woman immediately understood, took a few steps to Yu Wan, reached out to take Yu Wan's hand, and said in a fawning tone, "Madam Yun..."
Yun Shang, expressionless, pulled Yu Wan back a step quickly, subtly avoiding her outstretched hand.
The beautiful woman was disappointed and looked somewhat embarrassed. "Madam Yun, I was just being ignorant. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Yu Wan frowned slightly. Although she didn't have a good impression of her, she didn't hate her either.
She glanced at Prince Yong's gloomy face and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Go and cause her trouble, she'll make you furious!
Yu Wan didn't say anything more, but gave Yun Shang a wink.
Yun Shang immediately understood, bowed slightly to Prince Yong, and said in a calm tone, "Your Highness, please take your time. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Yun Shang naturally reached out and took Yu Wan's hand, then left without looking back.
