Chapter 298: Newlyweds, Teaching Yan Er A Lesson (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Huaijing was surprised by her reaction. How did she know that there would be a turn of events?
“If you don’t want to say it, then forget it.” Yu Wan got into the carriage again.
Yan Huaijing originally thought that with Zhou Huai in his hands, he could more or less turn the tables. However, he did not expect her to still do as she pleased. Yan Huaijing frowned and said, “Zhou Huai is unwilling to testify for your father.”
“Why?” Yu Wan asked.
Yan Huaijing said, “Zhou Huai is General Xiao’s trusted aide. Back then, he was picked up by Xiao Yan when he was still a poor beggar. Xiao Yan treated him with great kindness, but Xiao Yan died in front of your father. Zhou Huai has always thought that your father killed Xiao Yan.”
!!Yu Wan said thoughtfully, “Does he think my father killed General Xiao, or does he think General Xiao died because of my father?”
Yan Huaijing said, “Xiao Yan was seriously injured at that time. Zhou Huai guarded him for three days and three nights and couldn’t sleep. After meeting your father, Zhou Huai couldn’t take it anymore. Before he fell asleep, he warned your father that if Xiao Yan woke up, he must remember to wake him up.”
“But my father didn’t wake him up?” Yu Wan asked.
“That’s right,” Yan Huaijing said.
Yu Wan paused. “Then it must be General Xiao’s order. Military orders must be obeyed. Can my father disobey?”
Yan Huaijing sighed. “We all understand the logic, but if he hadn’t met your father and handed over his last wishes and medicine, Xiao Yan might have been reluctant to die… At least that’s what Zhou Huai thinks.”
Yu Wan thought of something and said, “Did he also say that my father did it for that military merit?”
Yan Huaijing nodded.
Yu Wan sighed. “What a stubborn fellow.”
It was obvious that Zhou Huai could not accept Xiao Yan’s death, and blaming her father would make him feel better.
“Then are you telling me this because you want me to agree to some conditions?”
“That’s not all I want to tell you. Your father’s case was delayed because of Zhou Huai and His Majesty’s tacit agreement. His Majesty didn’t vent his anger on the Yan family after such a thing happened to Yan Ruyu. Do you know why?”
Yu Wan gestured for him to continue.
Yan Huaijing said slowly, “The Yan family was framed for treason. His Majesty feels guilty and wants to make it up to the Yan family. If he overturns the case for your father, His Majesty won’t be able to protect the Yan family rightfully.”
Yu Wan smiled faintly. “Does His Majesty really feel guilty, or does the world think he does?”
Compared to a cold-blooded and heartless Emperor, an Emperor with a conscience was more beloved by the commoners.
“And this isn’t the only reason why His Majesty refuses to reopen the case,” Yan Huaijing said as his complicated gaze landed on Yu Wan’s face.
Yu Wan said, “It has something to do with me too?”
Yan Huaijing said bluntly, “His Majesty’s candidate for Princess Consort Yan is the daughter of the Governor Manor.”
Yu Wan nodded and asked, “His Majesty wants to threaten me to give up my position as the main wife in exchange for my father’s vindication?”
Yan Huaijing cleared his throat. “As long as you agree, His Majesty has a way to make Zhou Huai change his words.”
Yu Wan sneered. “So you’re here today to persuade me on behalf of His Majesty? If that’s the case, then you can leave. Not to mention that I don’t agree, even my father won’t use his biological daughter’s status and reputation to exchange for his future.”
Her father was not such a person.
And she was not someone who could be threatened easily.
Whether it was Yan Huaijing taking the initiative to volunteer or the Emperor’s own instructions, it at least meant one thing—the Emperor could not persuade Yan Jiuchao, so he settled for the next best thing.
Yu Wan was so angry that she laughed. “Your Highness, am I so easy to scare in your eyes? Even Yan Jiuchao doesn’t agree, but I’m in a hurry to give up the position of Princess Consort. Are you trying to let me be estranged from Yan Jiuchao? Please tell His Majesty that I’m not so stupid. I’m Yan Jiuchao’s wife, whether I live or die. Even if I die one day and he marries another, she’ll be suppressed under my memorial tablet for the rest of her life!”
Yan Huaijing did not expect Yu Wan to say such domineering words. At that moment, the aura she emitted even surpa.s.sed his mother and the Empress of the Central Palace. While he was distracted, Yu Wan got into the carriage.
When he came back to his senses and reached out to grab Yu Wan, he was whipped by Jiang Hai.
He was a prince! Jun Chang’an’s temples throbbed. Was he deaf? Didn’t he hear him and Yu Wan calling him Your Highness? Did he want to die by looking down on the prince?
Of course, Jun Chang’an did not let Jiang Hai’s whip hit Yan Huaijing. He raised his treasured saber and blocked it with his scabbard.
