The next day, Yu Suihuan and Bai Jie embarked on their second journey. This time, they chose a domestic destination. As Yu Suihuan put it, "Why rush to go abroad when we haven't explored the Great River Mountains yet?"
They decided to first visit Tibet to explore that mysterious land, and then head to Guangxi to experience the breathtaking Ten-Mile Gallery. Both Yu Suihuan and Bai Jie were filled with anticipation for this trip, knowing it would be an unforgettable experience.
On the second day after Yu Suihuan's departure, Wang Zhao sought out Yang Qinghe. He couldn't bear to see Yu Suihuan troubled, so he decided to talk to Yang Qinghe. "Last time you mentioned that the engagement wasn't your choice. What really happened? Why don't you elaborate?"
Yang Qinghe recounted the entire story to Wang Zhao in detail. After listening to Yang Qinghe, Wang Zhao fell silent for a moment before looking at him seriously. "Do you still like Yu Suihuan as you did before?"
"That has never changed!" Yang Qinghe's gaze was resolute.
"What if she never accepts you?"
"Then I will wait for her, no matter how long it takes!"
Wang Zhao nodded, as if he had found an answer within himself. "You need to handle your situation with Xue Lan; there might still be hope."
"That's true. I'm already working on it, but since both families are involved in a political marriage, it's quite complicated."
"I understand. I will help you!" For Yu Suihuan's happiness, he was willing to lend a hand.
After sending Yang Qinghe off, Wang Zhao sought out Liu Yingyu. "If that's the case, it would be such a pity!"
Liu Yingyu hoped that Yu Suihuan could become her sister-in-law, but she also knew that forcing something that wasn't meant to be wouldn't yield sweet results. If Yu Suihuan had no feelings for Huo Yaojun, then she would support her decision.
After all, for Yu Suihuan, it made no difference whether she was her best friend or her sister-in-law.
So I need you to do me a favor!
What kind of favor? Just say it! Yu Suihuan is my friend too, and I will definitely do my best.
Didn’t we say last time that we wanted to ruin Xue Lan’s reputation?
Wang Zhao Zhi, only if Xue Lan’s reputation is ruined will there be no obstacles for Yang Qinghe to break off the engagement.
Exactly!
Just tell me the exact time she’ll be coming home and the route she takes, and I’ll handle the rest!
Isn’t Xue Lan the one who looks down on country folks, calling them Mud Legs?
Then Wang Zhao should definitely find some Mud Legs to humiliate her.
Not long ago, he had already contacted a few of his underlings from Shi Gou Village to come into the city.
After discussing some details, they each went their separate ways.
The next day, Xue Lan came home a bit late.
A few of the underlings were lying in wait on the path Xue Lan usually took, ready for her to walk right into their trap.
At that moment, Xue Lan had just finished a gathering with friends and was in high spirits, unaware that she was about to face a terrifying trap.
As she turned into an alley, she noticed a crowd gathered there, all looking at her with unfriendly eyes.
Who are you? What do you want?
Xue Lan asked in fear.
I heard you look down on us Mud Legs, so today we’ll make you fall into our hands! Hehe, go! With that, a group of people surged forward, surrounding Xue Lan and starting to tear at her clothes.
Xue Lan screamed in terror, and by the time others arrived, they found her curled up in a corner of the wall, barely clothed and trembling.
The thugs she thought would be there had long since disappeared without a trace.
The crowd pointed and whispered among themselves, with some recognizing Xue Lan.
