Chapter 197 He really wanted to kill her.
It was a stack of calligraphy practice drafts.
He was unfamiliar with most of the handwriting, but there was one piece of handwriting that he recognized at a glance.
That was Yunxi's handwriting.
Because of her weak body, Yunxi's wrists were limp and powerless, and the characters she wrote were softer than those of ordinary women, without any sharpness.
The brushstrokes are light, without too much blurring or smudging.
Furthermore, she always had a habit of lifting the brush tip upwards when writing, and he had specifically mentioned this habit to her before, but Yunxi refused to change it.
Yun Shang remained silent for a long time before taking a step closer.
As he picked up the draft, he thought to himself that perhaps Yu Wan had simply brought Yun Xi's draft with her.
But reason and inner thoughts were constantly at odds.
Yu Wan is illiterate, so why did she travel all this way carrying Yun Xi's calligraphy drafts?
Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the handwriting on the draft, and after a while picked up another one.
The other drafts clearly show that they were all written by the same person.
The draft at the bottom was messy and illegible, like something a beginner would write. The higher up the draft, the smoother and more natural the writing became, with delicate and beautiful small regular script.
These drafts were all kept in Yu Wan's bedroom; it goes without saying whose they were.
Yun Shang stared at the draft that was exactly the same as Yun Xi's handwriting, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
After Shi Sunzheng and Wang Cuicui, a couple from Shijia Village, fell off the cliff, he visited their home.
Several letters were found in their home.
It's Yunxi's handwriting.
A letter to Shi Sunzheng that cannot be brought to light.
He spent most of his time at Bailu Academy and rarely stayed at home, so when he found those letters, he wasn't sure what was going on.
If we directly question Yunxi about this, it would probably hurt her feelings.
He had been secretly investigating all along.
Yunxi's handwriting is probably only known to her family.
If Yunxi didn't write the letter herself, then who did?
Shen Shi, or Yu Wan?
He believed that Shen would never harm her own daughter;
Yu Wan, who had lived in the Yun family for many years, was illiterate, let alone able to write.
He could only extend his suspicions to any suspicious person who had visited their home.
Many people have visited the Yun family, so investigating them secretly is not an easy task.
He also had to consider his younger sister Yunxi's reputation, so he investigated with extreme caution.
But the draft in his hand now is enough to show that Yu Wan might be literate.
Those letters were probably all written by Yu Wan.
In an instant, Yun Shang thought of many things.
He gripped the draft tighter and tighter, almost crushing it to pieces.
Why would Shi Sunzheng barge into Yunxi's boudoir in the middle of the night for no reason? And why does he keep saying that Yunxi seduced him first?
If what Shi Sunzheng said is true, then the one who is lying must be someone else.
He recalled Shi Sunzheng's arrogant and confident demeanor at the time, and compared it with Yun Xi's handwriting in front of him. All signs seemed to point to a shocking truth.
The person behind this is Yu Wan.
She had once schemed to ruin Yunxi's reputation and wanted to kill her.
He recalled that night in Shijia Village when Yu Wan suddenly became agitated and overturned his medicine bowl, and then suddenly appeared in his mother and Yunxi's room.
Both her mother and Yunxi ate poisonous mushrooms, but Yu Wan was unharmed.
You know, in the past, she would have loved to put all the good things in the house into her bowl.
That night, however, things were different.
That night, she also went to the mass grave.
Yun Shang turned his head, his dark gaze falling on Yu Wan, who was fast asleep on the bed, and reached out his hand.
She was lying to him from beginning to end.
Those behaviors that he once regarded as simple and honest now seem like a well-disguised mask.
He had always thought that Yu Wan was under his control, but today he realized that he had been the fool who had been fooled all along!
Yun Shang slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles turning pale from the excessive force.
……
Yu Wan was still tormenting Yun Shang in her dream.
The man who usually seems to have "I'm cold and stay away from me" written all over his face becomes as obedient as a puppy in her dreams, sweet and cuddly, even tugging at her trouser leg and whimpering.
This dream satisfied Yu Wan's strange and wicked sense of humor. She felt refreshed and happy, and for the first time, she felt that dreaming was incredibly enjoyable.
However, just as she was at her most excited, the previously sweet and cuddly puppy suddenly changed his expression, his hand, like an iron clamp, locking around her throat. He looked at her with a sinister expression and said, word by word:
Why did you lie to me?!
Yu Wan was lifted up by him, feeling unbearably uncomfortable, and said with difficulty, "...I...what did I lie to you about..."
She saw what the person in front of her was saying, but she couldn't hear it.
She felt a chilling and dangerous aura, like a cold snake's tongue, creeping silently along her neck.
The pain in her body became clearer and clearer, as if she wasn't dreaming, but in reality!
Yu Wan's eyes snapped open, revealing a thick, inky darkness.
Only Yun Shang's eyes flickered with a mad and angry light in the darkness, like two will-o'-the-wisps, sending chills down one's spine.
Her neck was being gripped tightly by a powerful hand, like an iron clamp, the force of which carried an irresistible determination, instantly waking her from her sweet dream.
Fear surged over her like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing her. Her heart pounded violently, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, threatening to burst from her chest.
Yu Wan gripped his hands tightly, managing to utter a difficult sound, "Yun...Shang..."
"Let...me go!"
"...Are you... insane?!"
Then,
She instinctively raised her hands and tried to pry open the hand that was choking her throat, her nails digging deep into the back of Yun Shang's hand, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree; the hand remained unmoved.
Yu Wan was on the verge of fainting from suffocation and lack of oxygen.
She couldn't understand why Yun Shang was in the Duke of Anguo's mansion, in her room, and why he grabbed her neck as soon as he arrived.
Judging from his posture, he wanted to strangle himself!
Yu Wan kicked her feet wildly in the air, trying to find a foothold to break free from Yun Shang's control.
Her vision began to blur, and Yun Shang in front of her seemed to have transformed into a demon crawling out of hell, his cold eyes devoid of any of the warmth he once had.
His appearance is gradually becoming similar to that of Yun Shang, the male lead in the original novel, who only shows tenderness to the female lead and is ruthless to the other female supporting characters.
At this critical moment, Yu Wan used all her strength to thrust her knee upwards, aiming it at Yun Shang's abdomen.
Yun Shang winced in pain, and subconsciously loosened his grip slightly.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yu Wan gasped for breath, quickly reaching under her pillow to pull out a dagger and point it at Yun Shang!
Her throat burned, and she coughed violently, "Get away from me...cough cough!!"
The coughing sounded particularly jarring in the quiet room.
Yu Wan coughed as she cautiously backed away, pressing herself against the inside of the bed to create distance between herself and him.
Her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she could see the coldness on Yun Shang's face.
It was exactly the same as when she first transmigrated into the book.
Perhaps it was because Yun Shang hadn't looked at her with such a calm and cold gaze in a long time, Yu Wan had almost forgotten that this male lead was a crazy villain with revenge etched in his bones!
