Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It would be a lie to say that she was not surprised by Han Jingshu’s visit. It was rare for ordinary girls to come looking for her openly when they encountered such a thing. Even Xiao Ziyue only dared to pretend to be a guest and secretly glance at her, but she was still so nervous that she fell ill halfway.

But Han Jingshu was different. Those who didn’t know better would probably think that she and Yu Wan were close friends.
Yu Wan got someone to serve tea.
There were not many servants in the reception pavilion. Han Jingshu only brought her personal maidservant. On Yu Wan’s side, it was the two sisters, Li’er and Tao’er. The rest of the people were dismissed by Yu Wan.
“Miss Han, please have some tea,” Yu Wan said politely. Those who came were guests. Moreover, it was hard to say if she and Han Jingshu were enemies or friends. It was not convenient to offend her now.

“I’m not here to drink tea,” Han Jingshu said calmly. Her gaze had never left Yu Wan since she entered the room. Shock, surprise, envy, and even jealousy intertwined endlessly in her eyes.
Yu Wan openly lets her size her up. Although her background was inferior to Han Jingshu, she really had nothing to lose to her.
“You can actually get Madam Meng to make clothes for you,” Han Jingshu said indifferently.
These words surprised Yu Wan.
Han Jingshu said, “Madam Meng often made clothes for me. I can tell her technique.”
In that case, the elegant dress on Han Jingshu was also a work of Madam Meng. No wonder it was so ethereal, making Han Jingshu look like a fairy.
Before stepping into the Young Master Manor, Han Jingshu also thought that she was as beautiful as a fairy under the moon and a demoness in the water. It was not until she saw Yu Wan that her high and mighty pride was completely shattered.
“Madam Meng really dotes on you. She left the best designs for you,” Han Jingshu said indifferently.
Yu Wan smiled but did not say anything. It was true that clothes made the man, but Miss Han just clearly did not want to admit that she was more beautiful than her and deliberately pushed the blame to Madam Meng. Yu Wan thought of Miss Han’s innocent appearance in front of Worthy Consort Xu. She was like a different person from the calm and cold woman in front of her.
It can’t be said that she’s two-faced. She could only be said to be a smart woman.
Seeing that Yu Wan did not refute her words, the coldness between Han Jingshu’s eyebrows seemed to have faded a little. Her tone was no longer as distant as before. “Does Mrs. Yan know why I came?”
“Is it related to His Highness?” Yu Wan asked.
Han Jingshu sighed softly. “You deliberately dragged me into the pool, right?”
Yu Wan did not panic after being exposed. She smiled and said, “I’ve frightened Miss Han.”
Han Jingshu did not expect her to admit it so readily. Her shock did not stay on her face for long. She continued, “Since you schemed against me, it’s understandable to answer a few questions as an apology, right?”
Miss Han really didn’t suffer any losses. She was the one who asked for a favor, but she had to act as if it was only right and proper. Perhaps this was the confidence of the big clans.
However, Yu Wan was no longer a village girl who was at the mercy of others. She was the madam of the Young Master Manor, and her status was above Han Jingshu. There was no need for her to let Han Jingshu lead her by the nose.
“Miss Han,” Yu Wan said. “It was your future mother-in-law who schemed against me first. At most, I’m just returning the favor. If you really want to blame someone, blame your good mother-in-law. Why did she have to scheme against me in front of you?”
Not implicating the innocent… How could there be absolute innocence in this world? From the moment Han Jingshu was tied to Worthy Consort Xu and Yan Huaijing, she had already become a political enemy of the Young Master Manor.
Han Jingshu was stunned by Yu Wan’s strength. “So… you don’t plan to tell me?”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “Miss Han already has the answer in her heart. Why did you come to ask me?”
Han Jingshu fell silent.
“How did you meet?” This time, her tone was much calmer.
Yu Wan did not mind answering her when she saw that she was not putting on airs. “Three years ago in Prefecture Xu, His Highness was seriously injured. I saved him.”
“Three years…” Han Jingshu closed her eyes. “He also mourned for the Empress Dowager for three years.”
That Empress Dowager was not Yan Huaijing’s biological grandmother. She was only the second Empress of the late Emperor. It was already considered filial piety for a prince to mourn her for half a year. Yet, he had forcefully mourned her for so long. Who could say that he was not waiting for the woman who had saved his life back then?
“Then why did you marry Yan Jiuchao?” Han Jingshu asked.
Yu Wan smiled faintly and said, “I’ve never had any improper thoughts about His Highness.”
