Chapter 154 I Don't Remember Her
Yu Wan looked up and, unsurprisingly, saw a familiar face.
Chen Wan didn't expect to run into Yu Wan so soon.
She could tell from her last welcoming banquet that the Duchess of Shunguo especially liked Yu Wan, so she was certain that the Duchess of Shunguo would invite Yu Wan to this birthday banquet.
I just didn't expect to run into her so soon.
She glanced nervously at the Lady of Anguo beside her.
Lady Anguo also saw Yu Wan and the man beside her at this moment.
When Yu Wan noticed that all their eyes were on her, she tugged at Yun Shang and stopped in her tracks.
"Yun Shang, wait a minute, I see someone I know."
Yun Shang paused slightly and looked up.
This was his first time meeting Lady Anguo. He had heard the rumors before, but since Yu Wan hadn't admitted them, he simply pretended not to hear them.
Seeing Lady Anguo and Yu Wan appear together, their faces bearing a striking resemblance, it's hard not to suspect that there might be some connection between them.
And the women beside the Duchess of Anguo...
A dark glint flashed in Yun Shang's eyes as he recalled what happened at the polo match that day.
Yu Wan greeted the Duchess of Anguo with great poise, saying, "Junior Yu Wan greets the Duchess of Anguo."
Every time she saw her, the Duchess of Anguo couldn't help but be stunned.
She paused for a few seconds, then realized that her "daughter's" grip on her arm had tightened, before she came to her senses and smiled faintly, "This is... your husband?"
Yu Wan nodded.
Yun Shang was startled by something.
If Yu Wan truly has some kind of relationship with the Duchess of Anguo, then wouldn't the Duchess of Anguo be...?
He was shocked, but remained outwardly calm. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Junior Yun Shang greets the Duchess."
The young man before her was handsome with striking features and an extraordinary air about him, but for some reason, the Duchess of Anguo just couldn't stand him.
Their attitude turned somewhat colder, and they nodded, saying, "Mm."
Chen Wan was somewhat uneasy. Seeing that the two still wanted to talk, she tugged at the hand of the Duchess of Anguo and whispered, "Mother, let's go quickly. It's not appropriate to go too late."
Lady Anguo glanced at her, said nothing, and nodded.
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
A cold voice rang out beside her, "This eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion seems to harbor a great deal of hostility towards you."
Be careful today, don't fall into her trap.
Yu Wan looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips. "I've been waiting for her all along."
Yun Shang's gaze darkened slightly.
He was now almost certain that Yu Wan had some connection with the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and perhaps she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
……
The Duchess of Shunguo's banquet invited not only the female relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles, but also male guests, so separate tables were set up.
Upon entering the mansion, Yu Wan and Yun Shang separated, and the two were led to the left and right sides by the servants of the mansion, respectively.
The banquet for male guests was held in the front yard, while the banquet for female guests was held in the flower hall in the back yard.
When Yu Wan arrived, there were already quite a few guests in the flower hall.
Recently, the fact that she looks so much like the Duchess of Anguo has been a hot topic of discussion among the women, so almost every time she appears, everyone's eyes are on her.
It is attracting everyone's attention.
Just now, the Duchess of Anguo brought her daughter in, and everyone had already given her a string of insincere praises.
It's not that the daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family wasn't beautiful, but rather that she was dressed so elegantly and exquisitely that everyone else was dressed the same way, so she didn't find her particularly attractive.
But Yu Wan truly surprised them.
She wore her hair in the simplest bun, and her makeup was so light it was almost invisible. Her pale red lipstick had a subtle sheen, as if she had applied glistening water droplets.
With her eyebrows lightly drawn, a lustrous pearl earring dangled from her small ear, adding a touch of elegance to her refined makeup without appearing out of place.
This outfit stands out among all the exquisite and luxurious makeup and styling.
Some of the younger girls couldn't help but walk up to Yu Wan and start chattering away, asking her questions.
Because of Yu Wan's gentle aura, people couldn't help but want to get closer. Even those who didn't usually like to strike up conversations couldn't help but go up and talk to her.
"Sister Yu, how did you do your makeup? It looks so fresh and beautiful!"
"Mrs. Yun..."
Some people affectionately and casually call her "Sister Yu," while others politely address her as "Madam Yun."
Chen Wan was left out and almost fainted from watching.
This Yu Wan must be her nemesis!
Yu Wan also enjoyed chatting with pretty older sisters. She only glanced at the imposter next to the Duchess of Anguo out of the corner of her eye before enthusiastically talking to the people around her.
Before the Duchess of Shunguo arrived, the women gathered together and started talking.
Just then, a voice rang out from outside, "Princess Changning, Princess Tianyin have arrived—"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the flower hall gradually quieted down.
Yu Wan also looked up at the doorway.
Since she and Yun Shang arrived in Shengjing, Wang Wanshu has disappeared without a trace. Yu Wan could vaguely guess that Yun Shang must have done something to make Wang Wanshu avoid him like the plague.
Wang Wanshu finally made an appearance at the banquet today. Could it be that she has adjusted her mindset?
Princess Changning was the highest-ranking person in the mansion. As soon as she entered, everyone in the flower hall bowed to her. Princess Changning raised her head slightly and said, "Rise, everyone."
After saying this seriously, her bright eyes immediately scanned the surroundings, and she skipped over to her target.
"Sister Yu, I knew you would come!"
Yu Wan smiled slightly, "I knew the princess would come."
The two met and smiled.
Not far away, Wang Wanshu watched Yu Wan chatting happily with Princess Changning, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
She has been suffering from headaches lately and has been having nightmares at night, often dreaming of a woman.
The woman claimed to be her sister, but she repeatedly plotted against her. However, Wang Wanshu never got a clear look at the woman's face.
Looking at Yu Wan from afar now, I feel a strange sense of familiarity.
Seeing this, Qiaobi, who was standing next to her, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Wanshu watched Yu Wan's retreating figure and whispered, "Qiaobi, who is that girl? Have I seen her before?"
Qiaobi's pupils contracted, and she almost dropped the handkerchief in her hand.
She blurted out, "Don't you remember her, young lady?"
Wang Wanshu wondered, "Should I remember her?"
Qiaobi was terrified.
In the two weeks since returning to Shengjing, His Highness Prince Chen has invited renowned masters and doctors to treat the princess. The princess has also changed her previous uncooperative attitude and is now very obedient and compliant.
For the past two weeks, Qiaobi had never heard the names "Yun Shang" or "Yu Wan" from her mouth.
I thought the princess had figured things out, but I never expected that she had completely forgotten about them!
What exactly is going on? !
