Chapter 116 I have to expose her!
Lu Yangyang released Sheng Yunzhu's ankle, stood up, and clapped her hands.
Sheng Yunzhu was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears, but she dared not retaliate.
She could only grit her teeth and grab Sheng Junyi's arm, pleading softly with Xue Wanning, "Sister Wanning, my foot hurts so much I can't move. Can I rest at your place for a while? I'll ask my second brother to help me find a doctor to take a look."
Xue Wanning glanced at Sheng Yunzhu thoughtfully, her expression unchanged, but a question arose in her heart.
Sheng Yunzhu noticed Xue Wanning's gaze and realized that she had been too obvious.
She could only bite her lip and lower her eyes pitifully.
Xue Wanning said apologetically, "Sister Yunzhu's injury doesn't look good. I remember there's a master in this temple with excellent medical skills. Perhaps Second Young Master should take Sister Yunzhu to see him as soon as possible, so as not to delay her recovery."
Princess Liduan interrupted unhappily, "What do you mean? Are you saying that Yangyang's medical skills are not good?"
Xue Wanning was surprised by Princess Liduan's sudden attack and could only say helplessly, "Princess, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about the Sheng family's younger sister."
“Yangyang just said that her foot is fine, just a fracture, and it will heal with rest.” Princess Liduan felt that Sheng Yunzhu was just pretending, and Xue Wanning’s words made it seem like she was seriously injured.
Lu Yangyang pulled Princess Liduan aside and said calmly, "Since you don't believe in my medical skills, then go see a doctor. Princess, let's go."
"Hmph!" Princess Liduan glared at them with displeasure and followed Lu Yangyang away.
Seeing this, Madam Lan couldn't help but frown: "Yi'er, quickly send Yunzhu back."
Then, with the help of Granny Hui, she left.
Seeing this, Sheng Jun had no choice but to pick up Sheng Yunzhu and walk in another direction.
After both groups left, Xue Wanning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then apologized to Sheng Junyao, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Your Highness. You don't need to worry about me. I made an appointment with Ruoxue, and she will come to pick me up later so we can go back together. You should go and take care of your aunt."
Sheng Junyao was silent for a moment. He thought for a moment and said to Xue Wanning, "Miss Xue, I am not someone who likes to force others. Our marriage has been postponed because of my years of service at the border and now because of my mother's illness. I apologize for this."
"If Miss Xue has any other thoughts about this marriage, you can tell me, and I will certainly not make things difficult for you. If you are sincerely willing to marry into this family, I will treat you with sincerity and will not let you suffer any grievances."
"If you have any difficulties, please let me know. If there is anything I can do to help, I will certainly not refuse."
Sheng Junyao never expected that the girl in front of him would be his fiancée, Xue Wanning.
After arranging for someone to escort his mother up the mountain today, he heard from a maid that Lu Yangyang and Princess Liduan had taken a shortcut elsewhere. He thought that this was Lu Yangyang's first time visiting Huguo Temple and that she had just experienced an assassination attempt, so he was still a little worried and went to look for her on the side path.
Unfortunately, he witnessed two people arguing. He was quite capable and happened to see Xue Wanning and Xie Jinglan's faces.
However, he didn't recognize the two people at the time, and since he didn't want to eavesdrop, he quietly left.
When he went to see Lu Yangyang again later, Lu Yangyang told him about Xue Wanning's visit to the Third Prince, but he didn't connect the two events together.
It wasn't until he met Xue Wanning that he began to have some doubts. He had been stationed at the border for many years. While he couldn't say he was an expert judge of people, he could at least vaguely guess something from a person's behavior and expressions.
Yunzhu deliberately lured them here, while Xue Wanning did not want them to go in.
If he wasn't mistaken, there should be another person in the room right now, and that person should have some connection with Xue Wanning.
However, to assume that Xue Wanning has an affair based on this would be too hasty and not the behavior of a gentleman. His marriage to Xue Wanning was arranged early, and due to some reasons, they rarely met and had never had any interaction or understanding. However, from his mother's words, she spoke highly of her, so he at least believed that Xue Wanning was not someone who would disregard the overall situation for personal reasons.
He accompanied the Crown Prince in his studies in the palace since childhood. The Empress often said that it was not easy for women to survive in this world. There were many hardships in many things, and one should not judge things by appearances alone.
He later went to the border and saw too many people suffering in order to survive. When he was young, his great-grandfather was still alive. He had traveled all over the world and always said that reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. You should look at everything with your heart, not just with your eyes.
Therefore, if Xue Wanning has her reasons, since they are future husband and wife and will soon become a family, he should give her the respect she deserves.
If she is willing to be honest, he is willing to listen to her.
Hearing his words, Xue Wanning was slightly dazed for a moment, and even couldn't help but want to look up at this future husband she had never met before. It felt as if something had gently bumped into her chest.
She subconsciously clenched her fingers. She never imagined that the rumored rigid and boring Prince Sheng would be this kind of person.
His honesty was so genuine that it stirred something within her.
For a moment, she almost wanted to tell him about her difficulties.
But in just a moment, she extinguished all thoughts.
Such a powerful and influential person is even more difficult to deal with, because he is probably intolerant of any wrongdoing. There is no such thing as black and white in this world; all that exists is the helplessness of the powerless and helpless.
Xue Wanning bowed slightly to Sheng Junyao: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am not in any difficulty. I will not disturb you any longer and will return now."
Without waiting for Sheng Junyao's response, she quickly stepped into the courtyard.
The gate to the courtyard was closed. Sheng Junyao stood there, staring at the gate for a moment, before leaving.
Xue Wanning quickly walked back into the house.
……
Lu Yangyang pulled Princess Liduan along with Madam Lan to listen to the master preach for a while. The two of them were so sleepy that they were both quite listless.
Seeing the two women nodding their heads one after another, Madam Lan found it somewhat amusing and told them to leave first.
The two immediately perked up and ran away as if fleeing.
As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, Princess Liduan couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder what they're chanting. It's making me dizzy. No wonder they say that when young monks chant scriptures, they just talk without thinking. Who knows what they're chanting?"
Lu Yangyang also looked pale. "I think I'm quite studious, but I can't sit still for everything."
When she was young, her aunt forced her to dissect sparrows, not letting her close her eyes for a whole day and night, but she could endure it all, and she even thought she was quite capable of sitting still.
He definitely overestimated himself.
Princess Li Duan stretched and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Wait, I suddenly remembered that when we were climbing the mountain on the path, I told you that I thought I saw Xue Wanning, but I thought I was just seeing things."
Lu Yangyang: "What's wrong?"
"Now that I think about it, I'm not seeing things. She didn't change her clothes, and she was arguing with a man, and that man wasn't my third cousin! Do you think she came to Huguo Temple to meet her lover in secret?" Li Duanxian clenched his fists indignantly. "No, I have to go and see. I have to expose her!"
