TFWYH – Chapter 593 Wan Niang’s Peach Blossom

The Imperial Guards who had been eavesdropping immediately began looking at Ji Wushuang with strange expressions.

No way… seriously?

You’re a dignified imperial bodyguard, and you don’t even have twenty taels? You borrowed it and didn’t repay it?

Ji Wushuang’s face darkened as he forced a smile through gritted teeth. “Madam Ling truly tells you everything without holding back.”

Ling Yu smiled faintly. Glancing at the finished garments he was holding, he said, “Husband and wife are one. My wife respects and loves me—she even used all the Heavenly Silkworm Snow Satin bestowed by the Noble Consort to make new clothes for me. Naturally, she keeps no secrets from me.”

The moment he said this, the Imperial Guards finally noticed the tray in Ling Yu’s hands. Under the sunlight, the fabric looked smooth like jade and thin as cicada wings.

It really was Heavenly Silkworm Snow Satin!

Heavens!

They had long heard that the Noble Consort doted heavily on this adopted daughter—but this was too much!

This was Heavenly Silkworm Snow Satin, and she just gave it all away?

Even worse, that adopted daughter was clearly obsessed with pampering her husband!

So much fabric, and she handed it all over to her husband without keeping a single piece for herself!

It was enough to make anyone jealous!

Ji Wushuang was so furious his eyes practically turned green. At that moment, he just wanted to rush over and beat that detestable man.

But he couldn’t… he couldn’t…

After silently repeating this to himself countless times, Ji Wushuang finally forced his anger down and turned away with a cold snort. “How does Brother Ling want me to assist?”

Hearing this, Ling Yu looked at the sky before replying, “It’s getting late today, and you’ve all had a tiring shift. Let’s call it a day for now. I’ll come find you tomorrow, Brother Wushuang.”

“Fine. Come to the Grand Commandant’s residence tomorrow,” Ji Wushuang said as he mounted his horse. He gave Ling Yu a perfunctory salute. “I’ll take my leave then.”

“Take care, Brother Wushuang.” Ling Yu stepped aside to let him pass.

Ji Wushuang then led the Imperial Guards away.

Not far off, Mu Qingfeng, who had been leaning against a carriage watching the show, finally strolled over with a grin. “Brother Ling, I think this is another one of Sister-in-law’s troublesome admirers. What do you think?”

“Wan’er has only ever had one admirer from beginning to end—that is me,” Ling Yu replied calmly, giving him a glance before walking toward the carriage.

Mu Qingfeng rolled his eyes dramatically and hurried after him.

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wan had followed Gu Yanshuang and her group to the temple, then continued tailing them after they left.

Several times, she wanted to quietly capture the nanny called Qiuwen.

But the woman never gave her a chance. Not only did she stay constantly by Gu Yanshuang’s side, she was always surrounded by a large group of servants.

Thinking about it, it made sense. In ancient times, a chief nanny like her might technically be a servant, but her status was far from low.

Even when Gu Yanshuang gave her tasks, she only needed to give verbal orders to others—rarely doing things herself.

So what now?

Hidden in the shadows, Tang Wan tilted her head as she watched Gu Yanshuang and her daughter being surrounded like stars around the moon at the temple entrance, already considering the possibility of simply abducting her target by force.

At that moment, Huangfu Rong’an suddenly exclaimed, “Ah! Mother, my red agate bracelet seems to be missing!”

Gu Yanshuang frowned. “The one your father gave you as your coming-of-age gift?”

“Yes, that one! I was just wearing it!” Huangfu Rong’an looked around anxiously, then quickly ordered the servants, “What are you all standing there for? Hurry and find it for me!”

With the mistress’s command, the servants dared not disobey.

In no time, chaos erupted at the temple entrance—and even inside the temple.

Tang Wan: …

What was this?

Like being handed a pillow just when you’re about to fall asleep?

Watching Qiuwen gradually move away from the crowd, Tang Wan silently mouthed a “thank you” to Huangfu Rong’an before quietly following after her…
