Chapter 105 Coincidence
On the third day of the fourth lunar month, in late spring, less than a month after Yun Shang and Yu Wan left Huicheng County, the people of Huicheng County had already changed out of their winter clothes.
New green shoots are growing vigorously in the forest, and everywhere is adorned with a lovely verdant green.
As Yun Shang traveled from Qingshan Village to Huicheng County, the street scenes became increasingly familiar.
It seems he lived here for a long time.
However, according to Wang Wanshu, they lived in Shengjing and had never been to this place before.
The growing suspicion in Yun Shang's mind made her completely distrust Wang Wanshu's words.
Inside the carriage, Wang Wanshu gazed at Yun Shang's handsome and graceful profile, feeling a slight itch in her heart. Seeing Yun Shang intently staring at the scenery outside the window, she couldn't help but ask, "Husband, does this place seem familiar to you?"
When she asked that question, Wang Wanshu couldn't help but feel nervous.
We're getting closer and closer to Huicheng County.
The closer she got to Huicheng County, the more worried she became about what Yunshang might remember.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shang turned her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if wondering why Wang Wanshu would ask such a question.
"Isn't this our first time here? Why do you think I'm familiar with this place?"
Wang Wanshu's brow twitched violently.
She knew Yun Shang was always cautious, but she didn't expect him to be so perceptive even now that he had lost his memory.
“I…” Wang Wanshu hesitated for a moment, then smiled gently, “My husband said before that the scenery in different places has similarities. I think this place is somewhat similar to the towns near Shengjing, so I wanted to ask my husband if he remembered anything.”
Her answer was almost flawless.
Anyone else would surely be unable to resist the gentleness of such a beauty, but Yun Shang is an exception.
He couldn't find any fault in Wang Wanshu's words, but the doubts in his heart grew thicker and thicker.
His relationship with the woman in front of him could never be as close as she described.
Suppressing all the suspicions in her heart, Yun Shang showed no doubt on her face and nodded lightly, "I see."
Wang Wanshu breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
Perhaps because she had lost her memory, Yun Shang was very obedient to her after waking up, which made Wang Wanshu feel as if she had seen the sweetheart from her previous life who always granted her every request and loved her to the bone.
Having tasted the sweetness, she never wanted to let go.
The carriage passed through Huidong Gate and entered the jurisdiction of Huicheng County.
Wang Wanshu instructed Qiaobi to go to Prince Chen's residence first.
Less than half an hour after Qiaobi left, a group of guards in black stopped the carriage that was moving forward.
Wang Wanshu, who was inside the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Wang Wanshu frowned when she saw so many people.
Yun Shang's gaze swept over these people, finally settling on the knives of this group.
These knives... seem familiar.
The menacing aura emanating from these people felt strangely familiar to him; it seemed as if he had seen similar people before.
"Princess," Yun Shang had been addressing Wang Wanshu in this way for the past few days, "Does the Princess know these people?"
Wang Wanshu was surprised that Yun Shang would ask her, and quickly replied, "You don't need to be nervous. These people are my... cousin's men. We've been away from home for many days, and my cousin must be very worried about me, so as soon as he heard about me, he sent so many people to look for me."
Yun Shang remained silent upon hearing this, seemingly believing her words.
A deep male voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Princess, we are here on the orders of the Prince to welcome you back."
Wang Wanshu lifted the carriage curtain, met the person's gaze for a moment, and said softly, "Thank you all for your trouble."
Suddenly, a group of guards appeared outside the unremarkable carriage, making it the most eye-catching place on the entire street.
Three young-looking girls were sitting at a wonton stall not far away.
Two of them wore veils, obscuring most of their faces.
The other person was rather thin, but had a pair of dark, bright eyes, like a dazzling star.
"Here it is!" The wonton vendor brought several steaming bowls of wontons to the table.
Er Ya eagerly handed the wooden spoons to Yu Wan and Atana, urging, "Sister Yu, Sister Atana, wontons should be eaten while they're hot. Eat up, these wontons are delicious!"
Yu Wan couldn't help but chuckle and sniffed.
This bowl of wontons looks simple, but from the soup base to the wontons themselves, you can tell that the ingredients are fresh and carefully selected.
Yu Wan swallowed hard and said to Atana, "Er Ya is right, Atana, quickly try it and see if you like it."
Atana had never eaten "wonton" before in Yanji. She hesitated for a moment, but the delicious smell made her mouth water uncontrollably.
I couldn't resist taking a small, cautious bite.
Atana's eyes lit up. "Delicious!"
Er Ya smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Sister Atana, if you like it, eat more. If you're still hungry, you can have another bowl."
Faced with Er Ya's sincerity, Atana's thoughts, which had been immersed in grief, eased somewhat.
Seeing that the two of them were enjoying their meal, Yu Wan also lifted a corner of the curtain and took a small bite.
The soup is fresh and delicious, and the wonton wrappers are thin and smooth, almost melting in your mouth. The meat filling inside is soft, tender, and chewy, making you want to eat a second one after you've already eaten one.
Yu Wan ate them one after another.
At the same time, a carriage surrounded by guards passed by the wonton stall. Wang Wanshu was occasionally glancing at the street scene with the curtain open when, by sheer coincidence, she caught a glimpse of Yu Wan lifting the curtain to eat wontons.
In an instant, Wang Wanshu's mind went blank.
She abruptly pulled down the carriage curtain.
Yun Shang was reading a book when she was startled by her movements. She looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Wanshu was overwhelmed with emotion, her mind filled with only one sentence—Yu Wan was still alive!
She was clearly looking at Yun Shang, but her gaze wasn't on him at all, because Yun Shang didn't respond.
He couldn't help but frown, noticing Wang Wanshu's strange behavior.
Is there anything outside?
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanshu suddenly realized what was happening and quickly moved a few steps to block the car window completely. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "It's nothing, just a few dirty beggars."
Yun Shang's eyes held a hint of scrutiny, but he didn't say anything more and lowered his head to read the book again.
Outside, Atana ate wontons while watching the carriage pass by with curiosity. She whispered to Yu Wan, "Sister Yu, who are the people in that carriage? Why are they accompanied by so many guards?"
Yu Wan recognized the clothes worn by the guards outside.
These people are all Prince Chen's men.
Inside that carriage... must be Prince Chen.
Yu Wan's eyes flickered, and she said to Atana, "He is a noble person of high status. He is kind and gentle, and wholeheartedly cares for the people. If you want to know who harmed the Yanji tribe, we may be able to ask him for help."
Atana's eyes lit up, but then, as if remembering something, the light that had just appeared went out with a "poof".
She shook her head and said dejectedly, "The fewer people who know about the Yanji tribe, the better. I'll investigate it myself slowly."
Yu Wan couldn't help but feel even more curious.
Judging from Atana's attitude these past few days, there is probably a huge secret behind the Yanji people, otherwise Atana wouldn't be so cautious.
