Chapter 319 Want to put her on the hot seat?
Yu Wan frowned slightly, her expression gradually turning cold.
"If I remember correctly, the princess said this before."
She was truly puzzled as to what Wang Wanshu's intentions were in doing this.
Furthermore, if Wang Wanshu truly wanted to apologize to her, why didn't she find a quiet place in private?
Why did they have to choose such a public place to make this matter known to everyone?
Yu Wan couldn't help but suspect that Wang Wanshu's actions had ulterior motives.
What appears to be an apology is actually an attempt to put her in a difficult position in front of everyone.
Yu Wan had previously thought that Wang Wanshu might have awakened her self-awareness and was no longer completely controlled by that inexplicable "plot line".
But now it seems that things are not so simple.
Wang Yuwan looked at Wang Wanshu with sharp eyes, "Has the princess forgotten everything?"
“I…” Wang Wanshu opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to explain.
But when the words reached his lips, it was as if something had choked him, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Her face gradually turned deathly pale, and even a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Seeing this, the women around them immediately became interested and began to whisper among themselves, their eyes showing a hint of wanting to stir up trouble when they looked at Wang Wanshu.
To outsiders, Wang Wanshu's pitiful, tearful appearance made it seem as if she had been bullied by Yu Wan.
Just then, Qiaobi hurriedly returned. Upon seeing the scene, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.
Princess, what's going on here?
Didn't we agree to apologize properly to Miss Yu?
Why is the princess crying instead?
This makes it seem like Miss Yu bullied the princess!
Qiaobi hurriedly walked to Wang Wanshu's side and whispered, "Princess, what are you doing?"
Wang Wanshu, as if grasping at a straw, grabbed Qiaobi's hand and said in a tearful voice, "Qiaobi, you've come at the right time. Please help me tell Miss Yu that I sincerely want to apologize..."
Qiaobi was inwardly groaning.
She thought frantically to herself, "Princess, is this how you apologize?"
Miss Yu didn't do anything to you, but you started crying instead.
Qiaobi felt that her princess might be having another relapse, so she quickly curtsied to Yu Wan, "Miss Yu, the princess has been regretting what happened before day and night these days."
Wang Wanshu's eyes reddened even more, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked out, "Miss Yu, I truly repent. I know I made too many mistakes before. I was just afraid that you wouldn't want to see me at all, so I resorted to this..."
“Is that so?” Yu Wan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. “To me, the princess’s fear is more like a threat.”
"Do you want everyone to think that I, Yu Wan, am narrow-minded and unwilling to forgive someone like you who sincerely repents?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanshu's tears fell even more rapidly. "No, no, no, I didn't mean that."
Qiaobi felt heartbroken just looking at it.
What exactly happened to the princess? The more she tries to explain, the worse it gets!
The women around them watched this scene and their murmurs grew louder. "Crying like this, Princess Tianyin doesn't seem to be apologizing sincerely. It's more like she's deliberately trying to embarrass Miss Yu."
"Yes, but how could Princess Tianyin know Yu Wan? What did she do to offend the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family?"
Few people in Shengjing knew what happened in Shijia Village.
These noble ladies were naturally unaware of this.
They even wondered how Wang Wanshu, a princess fostered in the Prince Chen's mansion, could be involved with the daughter that the Duchess of Anguo dared to find.
Wang Wanshu felt both angry and anxious as she listened to the surrounding discussions.
She felt as if two thoughts were constantly pulling at her from the depths of her heart, causing her a splitting headache.
Just then, a clear, light laugh came from outside the crowd.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
Everyone turned around and saw Princess Changning walking with light steps, followed by several noble ladies.
Princess Changning walked to Yu Wan and Wang Wanshu's side. She looked at Wang Wanshu's tearful appearance and then at Yu Wan's indifferent expression. She already understood a few things in her heart.
She frowned and looked at Wang Wanshu: "Princess Tianyin, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Wang Wanshu subconsciously replied, "No..."
"Then why are you crying?" Princess Changning looked at her irritably. "You look like someone has wronged you terribly."
Wang Wanshu bit her lip, stammering, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to begin.
She felt extremely wronged, and she wanted to say that she didn't know what had happened either.
She genuinely wanted to apologize to Yu Wan, but for some reason, the moment she saw Yu Wan, she seemed unable to control her body...
Princess Changning waved her hand dismissively when she saw that she was silent. "Alright, stop crying and making a scene. It's ruining everyone's mood. If you're here to apologize, show some sincerity. Stop with this useless nonsense."
Upon hearing this, Qiaobi, fearing that Wang Wanshu might say something else, quickly stepped forward and handed the box she was holding to Yu Wan.
“Miss Yu, our princess is truly apologizing to you sincerely. This is the apology gift that the princess prepared long ago.”
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the apology gift in Qiao Bi's hand.
So it seems that Wang Wanshu was normal before meeting her.
But after meeting her, Wang Wanshu's behavior became so abnormal.
It seems the female lead hasn't completely escaped the control of the "plot line" yet.
Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, then accepted the apology.
Since she and the female lead are mortal enemies in the original story, she might try to befriend Wang Wanshu instead, which could weaken the influence of the "plot line" on Wang Wanshu.
Yu Wan took the box, a faint smile appearing on her face.
He looked at Wang Wanshu and said, "I appreciate the princess's kindness. I will not pursue the past any further."
When Wang Wanshu saw that Yu Wan had accepted the apology gift, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she was extremely happy.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say thank you, but the words that came out were doubts, "Miss Yu will truly forgive you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiaobi, disregarding her own insubordination, covered Wang Wanshu's mouth.
Everyone stared at them in astonishment.
Qiaobi looked anxious and whispered in Wang Wanshu's ear, "Princess, please don't say anymore!"
Wang Wanshu seemed to wake from a dream, a struggle flashing in her eyes, as if she was trying to control her behavior.
Qiaobi quickly bowed to Princess Changning, "Your Highness, my lady is feeling unwell, so I'll take her back first."
Princess Changning also felt that Wang Wanshu's behavior today was as if she were possessed.
He frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Go, go, keep an eye on her, don't let her make a fool of herself again."
Qiaobi felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hurriedly helped Wang Wanshu leave.
Seeing this, the crowd discussed it briefly, but quickly forgot about it.
Princess Changning wasn't interested in whether Wang Wanshu was possessed or not. As soon as Wang Wanshu left, she affectionately went to Yu Wan and whispered to her, "Sister Yu, I've been kept in the palace by the Empress Dowager to learn etiquette these past few days. It's driving me crazy."
Yu Wan asked in bewilderment, "Why do we suddenly have to learn rules?"
Once Princess Changning started talking about this, she became very talkative, as if she had opened a floodgate.
