Mrs. Yao was frightened. She drank three large cups of cold tea in one go before she could calm herself down. “It’s all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I would be in trouble.”

It did not matter if she lost the money. She was afraid that those people would kill them for money. They were all a group of desperadoes. They were not good people to begin with. No one could guarantee that they would not do something terrifying.

Yu Wan handed Mrs. Yao a handkerchief. “Madam, you have to bring more people when you go out in the future.”

“Sigh.” Mrs. Yao took the handkerchief and sighed. “I’ve lived in the Capital for so many years, but I’ve never encountered such a thing. There’s actually someone so bold in broad daylight…”

“Why did Madam go there?” Yu Wan asked.

Mrs. Yao said with lingering fear, “I planned to choose a few sets of jewelry for my future daughter-in-law. The weather was hot and the sunlight in the streets was too strong, so I passed through an alley. Who knew that I would meet that group of people? If I had known earlier, I would have preferred to walk on the streets.”

After wiping her sweat, Mrs. Yao came back to her senses that it was Yu Wan’s handkerchief. She quickly said embarrassedly, “Thank you.”

Yu Wan smiled. “You’re welcome.” She had interacted with Mrs. Yao a few times. Mrs. Yao was an extremely good person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Shangguan Yan’s only friend in the Capital.

“By the way, we were only focused on talking about me. Why did you pass by there?” Mrs. Yao was much calmer now, and she slowly became talkative.

Yu Wan said, “I just returned from Xiao Manor. I only passed through the alley because I wanted to avoid the main road.”

“Ah, you went to the Xiao Manor?” Mrs. Yao was surprised. “Did you go alone?” She even brought Jiang Hai and Fu Ling, but it was obvious that the “alone” Mrs. Yao mentioned were not servants.

Yu Wan smiled but did not say anything.

Mrs. Yao was dumbfounded. “The Princely Heir asked you to go?”

Without waiting for Yu Wan to answer, Mrs. Yao smiled in relief. “It should have been like this long ago. It hasn’t been easy for Zijun all these years. The two of them really treat the Princely Heir very well.”

Zijun was Shangguan Yan’s nickname.

Yu Wan understood that Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan were sincerely good to Yan Jiuchao, but she would not say anything bad about her husband. Without experiencing what he had experienced, she could not ask him to forget or accept it.

To put it bluntly, he was a human being, not a block of wood. It was not because he was right that he had to do it. He had his own heart and feelings. He had pain that could not be erased from his youth.

“Actually…” Mrs. Yao held her cup and her tone suddenly lowered.

Yu Wan came back to her senses and looked at her in confusion. “Mrs. Yao, do you have something to say to me?”

“This matter has been accumulating in my heart for a long time. I didn’t tell anyone. I even hid it from Zijun…” Mrs. Yao shouldn’t have told Yu Wan, but she was too frightened today and Yu Wan had saved her. A certain string in her heart finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

She said, “My husband took office in Yan City. I once followed him to Yan City to stay for a while. For more than half a year, I stayed in the Yan Manor.”
