TFWYH – Chapter 834 Seeing Ling Yu Again

Having her thoughts exposed, Tang Wan’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she awkwardly looked away.

Yuanyuan sighed softly and continued trying to persuade her.

“Actually… you can’t really blame Brother Yu for this.”

Tang Wan looked at her skeptically.

Yuanyuan smiled and said, “Let me give you an example. Suppose a man relentlessly pursued you, even resorting to underhanded methods to force you into marrying him. After the wedding, he abused your mother and your younger siblings. Would you ever like someone like that?”

“…”

I’d have to be crazy to like a jerk like that.

“But that was because my soul was incomplete! I wasn’t mentally mature!”

Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow.

“But did Brother Yu know that your soul was incomplete? Did he know you weren’t mentally mature?”

Tang Wan fell silent.

Yuanyuan chuckled gently.

“That’s just how people are. We don’t know what others have been through, so we usually judge things only from what we can see. As the saying goes, ‘One who doesn’t know cannot be blamed.’ I can promise you this: if Brother Yu had known the truth from the beginning, he would never have treated the former you that way. After all, he’s a cultured and honorable gentleman. He’s not someone who judges people by appearances.”

Tang Wan remained silent.

If she looked at it from Ling Yu’s perspective…

Some of the things the former Tang Wan had done really had been…

less than admirable.

She had been so angry because the former Tang Wan and she were, in essence, the same person. She had wanted justice for the former Tang Wan.

But before learning the truth…

She hadn’t been nearly this angry.

Was it simply because, back then, she hadn’t felt personally connected to it?

Just then, Ye Yi’s voice came from outside the door.

“Sister Yuan, the male master has arrived.”

“I know,” Yuanyuan replied before turning back to Tang Wan with a smile.

“Sister Wan, do you want to see Brother Yu? If you don’t, I’ll send him away for you.”

Tang Wan curled her lips.

“You think you can actually make him leave?”

Yuanyuan pretended to sigh.

“Of course I can’t. But do you believe me when I say this? If you don’t want to see him, Brother Yu absolutely won’t force his way in. He’ll simply wait outside until you’re willing to see him.”

“Why?”

“Because he feels guilty toward you.”

“I don’t believe it,” Tang Wan muttered under her breath.

“In that case, just stay here. I’ll go deal with him.”

Covering her mouth with a smile, Yuanyuan floated out of the room like a graceful butterfly.

A short while later, Ling Yu’s hoarse voice sounded from outside.

“Is she inside?”

Tang Wan immediately pricked up her ears.

The next moment, Yuanyuan answered,

“She is. But Sister Wan says she doesn’t want to see you.”

Ling Yu was silent for a while before speaking in a voice filled with dejection.

“In that case… I’ll wait here until she’s willing to see me.”

“Very well. Then make yourself comfortable, Brother Yu. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

And that was the end of the conversation.

Inside the room, Tang Wan heard no further sounds, leaving her feeling increasingly conflicted.

After a while, she quietly slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the window.

Peering through a narrow crack…

She was stunned.

There was a whole group of people standing outside the courtyard, yet not a single sound could be heard.

All of them wore the uniforms of the Black Scale Cavalry. They stood perfectly straight, their eyes fixed forward without the slightest movement.

At the very front stood Ling Yu.

Dressed in a black brocade robe, one hand clasped behind his back, he stared unblinkingly at the tightly shut door.

In just a few days, he had grown noticeably thinner.

Fine stubble now covered his smooth chin.

Beneath those enchanting, captivating eyes—the very eyes that had drawn her in countless times before—faint dark circles had appeared, making it obvious that he hadn’t been resting.

He simply stood there, as straight and steadfast as a pine tree.

Without moving.

The dim light pooled in his eyes, leaving them hazy and unreadable, revealing none of his emotions.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Ling Yu turned and looked directly toward the window where she was hiding.
