After the incident of falling into the water, a eunuch from the palace had gone to the Young Master Manor to ask Yu Wan about what happened that day. Yu Wan had long found out about Worthy Consort Xu’s excuse. Worthy Consort Xu said that she had accidentally knocked Han Jingshu down when she fell into the water. How could she have accidentally knocked Han Jingshu down? She had clearly pulled her down on purpose.

“I don’t know what happened either. I think someone pushed me from behind. Her Highness was standing behind me at that time. Why don’t you ask Her Highness if she saw anyone suspicious?”

She was just short of saying that the culprit was Worthy Consort Xu.

Yu Wan did not have any evidence, but there were some things that did not need evidence. It depended on what the other party wanted to believe. It was said that the Prime Minister met the Emperor alone after the court. Then, the Emperor handed the marriage preparations between Prince Cheng and the princess of Xiongnu to the Empress. Who could say that the Emperor and the Prime Minister did not suspect Worthy Consort Xu?

“Young Madam, are we just going to let this go? She pushed you!” Li’er said as she followed Yu Wan with the basket.

Yu Wan cut a rose and placed it in Li’er’s basket. “She pushed me, and I pulled Han Jingshu. If I really punish her, no one can escape.”

This is very good now. Worthy Consort Xu was suspected by the Emperor, and Yan Huaijing had fallen out with the Prime Minister Manor. At least she did not have a big bump in the water for nothing.

“Madam, the basket is full. Is this enough? If not, I’ll go get another basket.” Li’er carried the basket to Yu Wan and said to her.

Yu Wan glanced at the basket full of roses and nodded. “It should be enough.”

Her little husband was jealous. Yu Wan planned to make something he liked to coax him. Rose brine was a good choice, but it was not today’s main dish. She asked someone to bring the hawthorn over. It was not the time to eat hawthorn now. These were dried hawthorn meat. After removing the fruit core, the taste was more sour and mellow than the hawthorn powder on the market.

“Do you want sugar?” Li’er asked as she helped.

Yu Wan divided a small half of the mashed hawthorn into another bowl. “Put two pieces of rock sugar.”

Li’er knocked two large pieces of rock candy and put them in. She looked curiously at the bowl without the candy and felt her teeth ache.

As if sensing her confusion, Yu Wan smiled and said, “Your Young Master suddenly likes sour food.”

Li’er opened her mouth wide. Why did these words sound wrong… Shouldn’t you be the one who likes to eat sour food after the wedding?

The hawthorn cake was dipped in rose brine. The sugar-free portion was sent to Yan Jiuchao’s study. The one with sugar was left for the three little fellows. After that, it was time to look for Nanny Wan to learn the rules. Yu Wan packed up and left. Just as she left the Qingfeng Courtyard, she bumped into Uncle Wan, who looked anxious.

“Uncle Wan,” Yu Wan greeted.

“Young Madam.” Uncle Wan bowed and asked, “Are you going to Nanny Wan’s class?”

Yu Wan nodded. “Nanny Wan wants to test my rules and genealogy today.”

There was not a big problem with the genealogy. She had basically memorized everything. It was just that she did not get the essence of those etiquette rules that needed to be demonstrated personally. She was afraid that she would have to suffer Nanny Wan’s punishment again.

Uncle Wan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Yu Wan looking like she was going to be punished. “Nanny Wan’s grandnephew has entered the Capital. She told me just now that she’ll give you a break today and come and test you tomorrow.”

Yu Wan felt that she had been revived!

“By the way, there’s more,” Uncle Wan said. “Emissary Cui came and sent two bolts of satin and tea leaves from Jiangnan.”

“Why are they giving it again? Didn’t they just give us a lot of things?” Yu Wan was puzzled.

No one would hide the matter of the Taiyao Pool from Uncle Wan and Shadow Thirteen. Uncle Wan said, “The Empress most likely thinks that Young Madam attacked His Highness and Worthy Consort Xu to help her regain the Phoenix Seal.”

This was really a misunderstanding. She was not doing this for the Empress. She purely wanted to take revenge for being kidnapped by Yan Huaijing on her wedding day.

“Since she’s already rewarded you, just accept it,” Uncle Wan said.

His tone did not sound like she had owed the Empress a big favor. It was more like she did not have to take it to heart after accepting a few sesame pancakes.

Yu Wan thought that now that she was the mistress of the Young Master Manor, her horizons should be able to keep up with Yan Jiuchao. She could no longer make a fuss about two bolts of satin and a few jars of tea leaves like she did in the countryside.

How could Uncle Wan not understand what she was thinking? He smiled generously and said, “It’s fine. You’ll get used to it slowly.”

“Is the Prince Yan Manor… bigger than the Young Master Manor?” Yu Wan asked.

Uncle Wan said proudly, “Of course.”

Only when they went to Yan City would they understand what a true paradise was.
