How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 589: His Longing, His Midnight Dreams

Chapter 589: Chapter 589: His Longing, His Midnight Dreams

After Ying Chun confessed, she stopped speaking, and Tang Jun was also released.

Ying Chun quickly embraced Tang Jun’s head, sobbing while checking his injuries from time to time.

Yan Huan Yu looked at Aunt Dong: "Someone, take Aunt Dong away for a detailed interrogation."

Aunt Dong’s face turned cold, clearly being a person about to be imprisoned and interrogated, yet she remained completely unflustered, exuding confidence.

"My sister is Princess Consort Jing, if you treat me like this and my sister in the palace finds out, I’m afraid it won’t bode well for the Seventeenth Prince, right?"

This statement could easily be taken as a threat.

Pei Shu’er also looked at Yan Huan Yu with some concern. Now that Yan Huan Yu is already in a difficult position, she should handle this villain instead.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yan Huan Yu chuckle lightly.

"Yes, Aunt Dong’s sister indeed enjoys the Emperor’s favor, but what does that have to do with your transgression against the dignity of the Royal Family?"

Seeing such a heavy accusation laid upon her, Aunt Dong’s expression changed.

Aunt Dong said, "I have done nothing, just that this Ying Chun falsely accuses me."

Ying Chun dared not speak; she couldn’t afford to offend either side.

She regretted it now, thinking she must have been out of her mind to say such things before.

If she had known it would come to this, she wouldn’t have cared about a mere two hundred taels of silver at the time.

After saying this, she glanced at Old Madam Tang.

"Old Madam, you know what kind of person I am, don’t you? For many years, I have always known my place and followed etiquette."

Old Madam Tang pondered for a moment, then looked at Pei Shu’er.

"Shu’er, persuade the Seventeenth Prince."

Pei Shu’er put on a troubled expression, and Yan Huan Yu said, "This is my own affair; no one can persuade me."

Pei Shu’er had to admit, the male protagonist really knows the way things go.

From her eyes, he could understand what she wanted.

Old Madam Tang sighed and made another plea.

"Since that’s the case, why don’t we just confine her in the Prince Mansion and have someone from the Seventeenth Prince’s side oversee the interrogation? This matter should not be blown out of proportion."

Yan Huan Yu nodded: "Let’s go with the old madam’s suggestion."

After this incident, even if Yan Huan Yu came again, they would openly talk in crowded places,

Even if others didn’t know the content, the two were innocent and clear.

No one dared to spread rumors about the two of them anymore.

The maids and guards previously were also foolish, thinking that just because the Princess Consort was kind, she could be easily manipulated.

Of course, most of those spreading rumors were people who were recruited into the Prince Mansion later.

Those maids and guards who had been with Pei Shu’er from the start did not participate and even helped to refute the rumors, but it was of little use.

However, now all those maids and guards who spread rumors were sold off. Such a good Prince Mansion, such a good master, they never encountered again.

Throughout the day, Yan Huan Yu noticeably wore a smile on his face.

"Sister, you can’t imagine what kind of good news I’ve brought."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but smile as well.

Yan Huan Yu didn’t wait for Pei Shu’er to ask; he spoke on his own.

"Here’s how it is: my birth mother died many years ago, but she was a good sister with the Empress, so Empress Xiao raised me."

At this moment, Pei Shu’er was stunned. This was indeed mentioned in the original work as well.

However, that was after Yan Huan Yu was bullied by other princes in the palace, and the Empress took pity on him, proposing to raise him by her side.

This was her way of indirectly supporting him.

Pei Shu’er sighed, thinking of the grievances the male protagonist faced as described in the original, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of heartache.

Those were truly humiliating experiences.

She said, "It’s been rough on you, but now the tide has turned. Here are some medications I’ve made, keep them with you; the effects are listed."

Yan Huan Yu was somewhat moved, and in his eyes, only Pei Shu’er’s image was reflected.

He accepted the medicine, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, and when taking it, his fingers brushed against Pei Shu’er’s fingertips.

Feeling that warm and delicate touch, a desire welled up in his heart, a longing to hold Pei Shu’er in his arms.

She was the person he dreamed of in the middle of the night.

He yearned for her so much that it hurt.

But he soon withdrew his hand.

He knew Pei Shu’er’s nature and could not reveal a bit of his feelings, otherwise, Pei Shu’er would distance herself from him.

"Thank you, sister."

Pei Shu’er smiled: "You’ve already called me sister, why be so polite?"

Pei Shu’er also had someone pack some food and clothes.

"Look at these clothes, all made according to average height and build, you should be able to wear them."

"These foods, you can take them to please the Empress. Learn to repay kindness with kindness."

At the same time, Pei Shu’er also took out a set of anti-aging skincare products, beautifully packaged in a gift box.

"These are anti-aging, give them to the Empress; it will make her even happier."

Yan Huan Yu saw Pei Shu’er being so considerate for him.

Even though he knew she only saw him as a younger brother, his heart was filled to the brim with her kindness.

"Alright, sister, rest assured, I will get along well with the Empress and the Crown Prince."

Pei Shu’er nodded, not really worried about the male protagonist’s fortune, but she just wanted to occasionally lessen his troubles.

After sending Yan Huan Yu out of the mansion, Pei Shu’er went to inspect some properties, then collected some funds and covertly put them into the space when no one was around.

At this time, Aunt Dong confessed, essentially taking an attitude of turning big issues into small ones.

She said she was just casually gossiping with Ying Chun and had no intention, unsure how it spread.

However, Pei Shu’er uncovered that some of the maids spreading rumors had been paid by her.

At this moment, even if Aunt Dong wanted to deny it, she couldn’t, and even Old Madam, who always favored her, pointed at her with a pale face, unable to utter a word.

Aunt Dong was beaten within an inch of her life.

Aunt Dong hated Pei Shu’er to death, thinking, does Pei Shu’er have to hold onto her relentlessly?

Then don’t blame her for being ruthless.

At that time, she thought, now that Tang Zan’s life was in jeopardy and Liu Xu was not a threat, the real concern was Pei Shu’er.

If she could bring Pei Shu’er down, wouldn’t she then be in charge of the Prince Mansion?

But she never expected to be caught so quickly.

Furthermore, there were instructions from Princess Consort Jing.

Princess Consort Jing had a son, the Twelfth Prince, who had always been favored.

But lately, the Seventeenth Prince had been in the limelight, and the Emperor even remarked,

"This child resembles me in my youth."

This, along with the Emperor’s recent rewards to Yan Huan Yu, which included items originally meant for the Twelfth Prince, heightened Princess Consort Jing’s anxiety.

Aunt Dong immediately had someone send a message to Princess Consort Jing, asking her to avenge her.

She couldn’t believe it, could Pei Shu’er really be so arrogant in the face of Princess Consort Jing?
