Chapter 386 Let's see what he really wants to do.
Xiao Huanyan frowned slightly. "Then why did you let them keep an eye on you?"
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, she added, "Do you know who's watching you?"
The food at this restaurant was quite good. Yu Wan ate one bite after another, saying nonchalantly, "I know, they're from the Prince of Qi's men."
She found it strange that the King of Qi didn't send someone to keep an eye on her.
Xiao Huanyan frowned, her eyes filled with worry: "This Prince Qi..."
Previously, she frequently interacted with Consort De and Prince Yong, and often saw Prince Qi as well.
King Qi appears to be a gentle and easy-going person, but every time Xiao Huanyan meets his gaze, a strange chill rises in her heart, and she subconsciously wants to stay away from him.
Therefore, even though the Prince of Yong and the Prince of Qi were very close, she, as the Prince of Yong's cousin, would intentionally avoid the Prince of Qi most of the time.
She always felt that beneath King Qi's seemingly harmless exterior lay hidden ulterior motives, and that he was by no means a kind person.
However, Xiao Huanyan would not reveal these thoughts to Yu Wan.
She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat before carefully choosing her words, saying, "The King of Qi sent people to keep an eye on you; I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."
"You'd better find a way to get rid of these informants, otherwise it will be very inconvenient for you to do things."
Yu Wan remained calm and composed, gently putting down her chopsticks, taking a sip of her tea, and saying, "No need to rush. Let them keep an eye on us if they want. I also want to know what tricks Prince Qi will pull."
Xiao Huanyan frowned even more upon hearing this.
But she knew in her heart that her relationship with Yu Wan was not close enough for her to repeatedly offer advice. Since Yu Wan didn't take the matter to heart, she didn't need to worry about it.
Then, Xiao Huanyan brought up another matter, "My father has persuaded the officials he is on good terms with to jointly petition the Emperor tomorrow at court to severely punish Prince Yong."
She paused for a moment, then looked up at Yu Wan.
"And this time, you made a big fuss about Su Qingchan... I've already done everything you asked me to do."
"I consider that I have already repaid your life-saving grace."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan put down her chopsticks and smiled gently at Xiao Huanyan, "Alright, thank you very much, Miss Xiao."
The noble ladies of Shengjing were mostly well-behaved, self-disciplined, and had high standards for themselves in terms of etiquette and demeanor.
When talking to people, they are very particular about using tactful and humble language, and it is common for them to smile without showing their teeth.
But when Yu Wan smiled, her eyes curved like two bright new moons, sparkling with a bright light. It was an undisguised and unrestrained smile.
Xiao Huanyan stared at her blankly for a moment, momentarily lost in thought.
After regaining her senses, she lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little awkward, and said softly, "No need to be so polite."
Then, she stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "I have other matters to attend to at home, so I will not dine with Miss Yu. I will take my leave now."
Yu Wan stood up to see her off, without trying to stop her.
She watched Xiao Huanyan walk out of the restaurant until Xiao Huanyan's figure completely disappeared into the street and turned at the door. Only then did Yu Wan slowly withdraw her gaze and stand by the window again.
Her gaze swept across the street and landed on the Dali Temple government office across the river.
Li Fu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, remained indoors, and the officials of the Court of Judicial Review dared not easily lay a hand on so many people, only stopping them from doing so.
The two sides remained deadlocked.
Yu Wan knew very well that Li Fu was probably already on his way to the palace.
She had someone inquire about it, and it turned out that the newly appointed Minister of the Court of Judicial Review also believed in governing by doing nothing and was perfunctory and procrastinating in everything.
It was precisely because of Li Fu's attitude that Su Qingchan was able to achieve such a favorable outcome when she filed a complaint against Prince Yong at the Dali Temple.
The land of Prince Yong's mansion was indeed dug by "martial arts heroes," but she paid these "martial arts heroes" to do so.
She wanted all the people of Dazhao to see with their own eyes the crimes committed by Prince Yong.
Such a beast deserves to be torn to pieces.
Yu Wan had actually been so busy these past few days that she hadn't even had time to eat. She went back to the dining table, quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then got up and left the restaurant.
Su Qingchan temporarily stayed at Miaoshoutang.
Yu Wan asked Old Man Feng to come and treat her every day on his way, and Old Man Feng readily agreed.
He felt a pang of guilt for not being able to save Su Qingchan's mother, so he agreed without hesitation.
But in reality, Su's mother's death had nothing to do with him.
Su's mother's physical illness was not serious, and Old Man Feng had almost cured her, but Su's mother's mental illness was incurable.
Su's mother regarded Su's father and Su Mu as her lifeblood. Their successive deaths were undoubtedly a blow to Su's mother, taking away her hope of living.
Su Qingchan was not enough to sustain her life.
Miaoshoutang.
Er Ya and Atana volunteered to come and keep Su Qingchan company, and Yu Wan couldn't resist their nagging, so she agreed.
Upon hearing about Su Qingchan's plight, Er Ya and Atana both admired her greatly, and felt even more sympathy for her after seeing how badly she had been tortured.
These past few days, Er Ya and Atana have been helping to change Su Qingchan's medicine.
Just as the two finished changing Su Qingchan's dressing, Yu Wan arrived.
Su Qingchan saw Yu Wan first, and she subconsciously pulled the blanket up to cover the shocking scars on her arms and chest.
"Sister Yu, you've arrived."
Er Ya and Atana immediately turned around to look, their eyes lighting up instantly, and they exclaimed in unison, "Sister Yu!"
Yu Wan walked in with a smile, patting Er Ya and Atana's fluffy hair with one hand in each hand, "Thank you for your hard work."
Er Ya and Atana shook their heads in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized. "It's no trouble at all. We're all happy to be able to help Sister Yu with something."
The two of them had finally made it to Shengjing and had planned to stay for a while before returning to Huicheng County.
Moreover, Huizhou was currently suffering from floods, the roads were muddy, and the floodwaters were raging. Yu Wan was worried about their safety and resolutely refused to let them go back.
Seeing the two of them move in unison, Yu Wan's smile deepened.
She turned her gaze to Su Qingchan and asked with concern, "Qingchan, are you feeling better?"
Su Qingchan nodded slightly, a genuine expression of gratitude appearing on her pale face: "Much better, all thanks to Elder Feng's skillful treatment, and the care from Er Ya and Atana..."
She was still very weak and her voice was very soft, but her eyes, which had been lifeless from being tormented by Prince Yong, had regained their light. "The person I want to thank the most... is Sister Yu."
"Thank you so much, Sister Yu, for saving me again."
If Yu Wan hadn't insisted on persuading her to leave the Yong Prince's Mansion that day, she would probably be dead by now.
The physicians of Prince Yong's residence did not take the lives of these women seriously. Even though Prince Yong ordered them to be treated properly, the physicians were perfunctory.
If it weren't for the treatment by the skilled doctors of Miaoshoutang and Old Man Feng, she would have died long ago if the treatment method used by the physicians of the Yongwang Mansion hadn't been used.
