The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 14

Ever since returning to the capital, from the moment Jiang Yuhuai appeared, everything seems to have gone off track.

She couldn’t figure out Jiang Yuhuai’s purpose for a moment.

Why would they actively request a marriage alliance?

Why must we choose this clueless, good-for-nothing Miss Yu?

Also, why did they suddenly appear on the day they got their marriage certificate?

What was his purpose?

Even Yu Guiwan didn’t know what value she possessed that made Jiang Sanye, who struck fear into the hearts of the capital, take notice time and time again.

Wang Shengye hesitated for a moment, “Should I go and check it out?”

Yu Guiwan refused, “No need. Even if you investigate, you probably won’t find anything. I can handle things here in the capital on my own.”

Wang Shengye considered Wan Jie’s abilities, opened his mouth, then silently shut up.

If even this person can’t solve it, then they probably can’t either.

After giving them a few instructions, Yu Guiwan hung up the phone.

I had just put my phone down.

There was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.

Her gaze turned cold as she swept over them. “Who?”

A deep male voice came from outside the door.

“It’s me.”

Jiang Yuhuai said, “I was worried you’d fallen asleep since you’ve been in the bathroom for so long.”

He seemed relieved.

Yu Guiwan’s complexion returned to normal; she appeared obedient and harmless.

Her voice was soft and gentle, “Oh, I just finished showering and was just about to rinse it off and head out.”

“good.”

Jiang Yuhuai responded, seemed to linger for a few seconds, and then left.

Yu Guiwan got up, creating a splash.

She reached for a bath towel, wrapped it around herself, walked to the shower to rinse off the soap, dried herself off, put on her pajamas, and then went outside.

…

In the bedroom.

The lights outside had been dimmed considerably at some point.

It’s not that glaring.

Yu Guiwan paused for a moment, then walked over.

A slightly familiar fragrance wafted in the air.

She looked towards the source of the fragrance and saw several clusters of flickering candlelight.

Jiang Yuhuai walked in from outside the terrace. “I was worried you might not be able to sleep here since it’s your first time, so I had some aromatherapy prepared. It’s a calming and soothing treatment, so you’ll sleep better when you go to bed later.”

Yu Guiwan looked at him. In the dim light, her face was indiscernible under the flickering candlelight.

Jiang Yuhuai stood still without moving.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Yu Guiwan looked away. “This bed is quite comfortable. I slept very well.”

She wasn’t lying either.

After arriving at Tan Garden, I slept much better than when I was at the Yu family’s house.

It’s even better than it was in Yunling Town.

She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the thoughts in her eyes.

Jiang Yuhuai smiled and said, “As long as you sleep well, that’s fine. If you don’t sleep well, you can come to me anytime.”

Yu Guiwan’s lips twitched slightly as she looked at him. “What do you want?”

The man raised an eyebrow. “You can do whatever you want.”

He looked like he was ready to be picked at will.

Yu Guiwan once again looked away expressionlessly.

“I’m sleepy, I want to go to sleep.”

Jiang Yuhuai’s gaze softened. “Okay, goodnight and sweet dreams.”

Yu Guiwan: “…Good night.”

A short while later, the door was closed.

Yu Guiwan glanced at the scented candles not far away, then lifted the covers and lay down.

She closed her eyes.

It usually takes me a long time to fall asleep.

But after a short while, she actually fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to Yu Guiwan, after she fell asleep, the door to her room was opened again from the outside.

A tall figure walked in.

Jiang Yuhuai walked to the bedside and saw that she was sleeping peacefully, and his brows relaxed a lot.

He glanced at Yu Guiwan’s sleeping face, then gently tucked the blanket in.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn’t woken up.

Jiang Yuhuai did not stay long; he left after a short while.

Before leaving, he glanced at the scented candles not far away.

Until the door was gently closed.

In the darkness, a pair of clear eyes suddenly opened.

Yu Guiwan glanced in the direction of the door, then turned her head and looked at the candles.

She was indeed asleep.

But she woke up the moment the door was opened.

However, they knew who the visitor was.

She did not make any rash moves and remained asleep.

Yu Guiwan was still wondering if Jiang Yuhuai wanted to get rid of her.

After all, given Jiang Sanye’s sickly and crazy personality, even if something happened to the bride the day after they got their marriage certificate, it wouldn’t be surprising.

She was already prepared to fight someone.

As it turned out, Jiang Yuhuai simply came in to cover her with a blanket and then left.

Yu Guiwan’s eyes held a complex expression.

She really couldn’t understand what Jiang Yuhuai wanted.

The fragrance of flowers lingered in the air.

As she pondered, she slowly fell asleep again, until dawn.

…

The next day.

Yu Yunshu got up very early.

She seemed to be expecting something.

When the servants saw her come downstairs, they bowed their heads and respectfully greeted her, “Young Miss.”

Yu Yunshu smiled with satisfaction and hummed in agreement.

In the restaurant.

Yu Mingsheng and Cheng Xiang are already here.

Yu Yunshu walked over, “Dad, Mom.”

However, she did not notice the strange expression on their faces.

She sat down, took a sip of juice, and then asked, “How did it go? Mom and Dad, did the Jiang family kick that country bumpkin out?”

Even today, her forehead, where she bumped into the coffee table, still aches slightly, and the gauze is hidden by her bangs.

Thinking about how that country bumpkin had deliberately made her fall to the ground that day, Yu Yunshu felt a burning hatred.

He wished he could tear Yu Guiwan apart.

All she hopes now is that once the Jiang family sees her, they will kick her out of the Jiang family.

At that point, she’ll be a homeless dog with nowhere to go.

Do we also need to transfer our household registration to the Yu family?

Without the Yu family, Yu Guiwan is nothing.

Yu Yunshu was looking forward to hearing from her parents just how miserable Yu Guiwan was.

Yu Mingsheng’s expression darkened, and he remained silent.

A hint of coldness flashed in Cheng Xiang’s eyes. “The Jiang family didn’t kick her out.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunshu’s eyes widened, her pupils suddenly darkening in disbelief. “How is this possible? How could the Jiang family be satisfied with a country bumpkin as the third young mistress of the Jiang family?”
