Chapter 322 You're really quick-witted.
If Su Mu hadn't died, given his personality, he would definitely have tried every means to prove the Prince of Yong's crimes.
The best outcome for Prince Yong was to be imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court for life.
Unfortunately, now that Su Mu is dead, the remaining officials in the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review dare not openly oppose Prince Yong and Consort De, so Prince Yong can once again escape justice.
Looking at Prince Yong's innocent and harmless appearance, Yu Wan felt utterly disgusted.
Some people may appear gentle and charming, but harbor an incredibly malicious heart inside.
Prince Yong was like that; beneath his seemingly harmless face lay a corrupt and filthy mind.
Yu Wan's smile vanished, and she replied indifferently, "This humble woman does not know what Your Highness is referring to."
Prince Yong stepped forward, narrowed his eyes, and said with a hint of threat in his tone, "Where do you begin? Yu Wan, don't pretend to be ignorant in front of me."
"Why was it Wang Ling who was having an affair with that monk on the day of the Winter Festival?"
Yu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly and continued to play dumb. "Your Highness, I really don't understand what you're talking about. We can only observe from outside the temple and don't know what happened inside."
Prince Yong stared at Yu Wan, his eyes blazing with anger. "You think that just because you don't admit it, I won't know it was you?"
Yu Wan wanted to roll her eyes at him.
So what if I know?
If he had evidence, he would have dealt with her directly long ago, instead of just a few threats and warnings.
Looking at Yu Wan's calm demeanor, the Prince of Yong felt a surge of anger rising within him.
That bastard! He must be so arrogant and domineering because he can't find any evidence!
He also lacked conclusive evidence that Yu Wan was involved in the scandal that occurred during the Winter Festival.
But the person he was supposed to deal with was Yu Wan, but in the end it was Wang Ling who was replaced. This could only be related to Yu Wan!
"Yu Wan, do you think that just because you don't admit it, I can't do anything to you?"
He suppressed the anger rising in his chest, a smile playing on his lips, his tone chilling, "Those who oppose me will not have a good end."
"Former Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Lord Su Mu, what a fine official he was, yet he was gone just like that, wasn't he?"
Yu Wan's gaze suddenly turned cold.
She forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, I believe that Heaven is watching what people do, and those who commit many evils will eventually reap what they sow."
"Lord Su was an upright man throughout his life. His death was a loss to the court, but justice resides in the hearts of the people. His achievements and character are evident to all."
"Some people in the court appear glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes they do all sorts of shady things. I'm afraid they can't even sleep peacefully at night."
"So many wronged souls will surely come back to haunt him in the middle of the night."
Prince Yong's face instantly darkened to the point that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
He stared at Yu Wan, his anger turning into a mocking laugh, "Yu Wan, you really are quick-witted."
Yu Wan said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I grew up in the countryside and my words may not be very pleasant, but I have no intention of offending Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Prince Yong's gaze fell on Yu Wan's face.
This woman was completely different from the noble ladies of Shengjing.
Prince Yong's gaze fell on Yu Wan's face.
When the noble ladies saw him, they either fawned over him and tried every means to please him, or they were reserved and polite, not daring to say a word.
But things are different now.
She seemed very gentle, but when he got close, he felt that she was full of thorns.
It would be more interesting to torment a woman like that, wouldn't it?
Prince Yong's gaze swept over Yu Wan's clear and clean face, and a twisted excitement welled up in his heart.
A slight smile played on his lips, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Yu Wan, I'm becoming more and more interested in you."
He lowered his voice, his tone like that of a venomous snake, "I most admire women as unique as you. The thought of you being gradually smoothed out under my tutelage makes my blood boil with excitement..."
Yu Wan felt a chill run down her spine and almost vomited.
She took several steps back, her face practically screaming, "Stay away from me, you unlucky thing!"
Seeing this, Prince Yong was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed even more unrestrainedly. "What? You can't stand it already? Yu Wan, there's plenty of time. I will deal with you slowly."
If she weren't worried about attracting the attention of the people admiring the flowers around her, Yu Wan would have really wanted to shout "pervert!"
That bastard, his heart and soul are probably rotten!
She felt like throwing up if she said another word to Prince Yong. Yu Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, gave a perfunctory curtsy, and spoke quickly, "Your Highness, Princess Changning seems to be looking for me. I shall take my leave now."
After saying that, without waiting for Prince Yong to say another word, she lifted her skirt and ran away.
Prince Yong seemed surprised that she would run away so disregarding her manners. He paused for a moment, then a barely suppressed excitement flashed in his eyes.
He started with Yu Wan simply because she was Yun Shang's wife, and Yun Shang was Prince Chen's man.
Now, he has indeed become genuinely interested in this woman.
She was so special that he had already figured out how to torture her after he caught her.
Yu Wan jogged along until she was sure that Prince Yong was not chasing after her, then she stopped.
This Prince Yong is absolutely a psychopath!
The original novel makes no mention of Prince Yong being such a pervert.
Moreover, Yu Wan discovered that the content of the original work differed more and more from what she was experiencing now.
Although encountering the perverted Prince Yong was disgusting, it just goes to show that after she transmigrated into the book, the story of this world had become vastly different from the original work.
She shouldn't have to worry about dying a tragic death at the hands of the male lead all the time.
But... it doesn't seem like a good thing to fall into the hands of a freak like Prince Yong.
No! Prince Yong, this cancer, must not be allowed to live!
While she was thinking, Yu Wan had already reached the boardwalk when a splashing sound of water pulled her back to reality.
Yu Wan was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the waterside pavilion was in complete chaos.
She had a bad feeling and hurriedly ran towards the waterside pavilion.
When she arrived, she saw a woman dressed in purple struggling in the water. The water was too cold, and soon the woman's struggles became weaker and weaker, and she was about to sink.
Princess Changning stood to the side, her expression extremely ugly, glaring at the other noble ladies, "Aren't you all supposed to be closest to Xiao Huanyan? Isn't one of you even able to swim? Are you just going to watch Xiao Huanyan die?!"
The noble ladies who had previously helped Xiao Huanyan make things difficult for Su Qingchan were now pale-faced and trembling as they looked at Xiao Huanyan, who was calling for help in the water.
They cried out, "Princess, it's not that we don't want to save Miss Xiao... we can't swim either!"
Actually, some people know a little bit.
But the lake water is so cold, what if they get frostbite if they jump in to save people?
They just wanted to please Xiao Huanyan, they didn't want to die for her!
Xiao Huanyan's life is a life, but aren't their lives also lives?
Yu Wan frowned as she listened to these words, and without saying a word, she began to take off her cloak and outer garment.
Princess Changning was startled by her actions and quickly pulled her away, "Sister Yu, what are you doing?!"
Yu Wan turned to look at Princess Changning and said urgently, "I can swim. I'll go save her. Don't worry, Princess, I know what I'm doing. I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."
