Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension
Chapter 70 The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Wife 12
*
Lu Ziyin didn't see Yun Wu in the front hall. He waited for a while before he saw Yun Wu walk in.
Yun Wu walked into the hall quickly and gracefully, and her nose felt sore when she saw Lu Ziyin waiting for her.
When Lu Ziyin came back and didn't see Yun Wu, he was very worried. Now that he saw her coming back, he hurried forward to greet her.
"Husband..."
Yun Wu's voice was soft, with a hint of subtle grievance in her tone. Although she had straightened herself up, her beautiful eyes were still tinged with pink.
"Why are you crying, madam?"
Lu Ziyin asked softly. Yun Wu's heart trembled. She thought of Qi Yu and hurriedly held back her tears.
"It's okay. I just went out for a walk and accidentally got lost. I was afraid my husband couldn't find me..."
Yun Wu lowered her eyes and spoke softly, and Lu Ziyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Yun Wu had just met some noble person and had been wronged.
Lu Ziyin comforted Yun Wu, put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the palace gate.
Yun Wu was absent-mindedly helped by Lu Ziyin into the carriage leaving the palace.
She remembered that before Qi Yu left, he whispered in her ear that he wanted her to go to the alley behind the Shangshu Mansion at 11:00 p.m. tomorrow night.
Yun Wu shrank uneasily into Lu Ziyin's arms, but in her heart she mustered up the courage to resist.

Ye Feishuang held a poetry gathering at the General's Mansion and invited countless powerful families and families of court officials in the capital.
Now that Lu Ziyin has been released from prison and promoted to a higher position, he took Yun Wu with him.
There was no rule in Qi State that men and women should sit at different seats, but there were still men's and women's halls at the poetry meeting.
The women's hall is located in the pavilion by the lake in the general's mansion. The seats are divided into two sides, one for married women and the other for unmarried women.
And those people who had been gloating over Lu Zinyin's imprisonment a few days ago and were afraid to avoid him began to flatter Yun Wu.
Yun Wu had just sat down on the couch when many women and young ladies from wealthy families surrounded her.
"Lord Lu turned a disaster into a blessing and was promoted to Shangshu Ling. Madam is now also a second-rank imperial edict. I will bring gifts to congratulate Madam in the future."
The person who spoke was Madam Li, the wife of the Minister of Works, with a flattering smile on her face.
Yun Wu remembered her. The Minister of Works was born into a poor family and was a noblewoman. She was able to join the Six Ministries because of Lu Ziyin's recommendation.
However, when she came to them and asked them to help Lu Zinyin submit a letter of injustice because of his imprisonment, Mrs. Li refused to let her in.
"That's because Lord Lu has never done anything wrong, so naturally he was able to clear his name. Not everyone can get an imperial decree, so it shows how lucky Madam Lu is."
Miss Liang, who was sitting a little further away, said that the people around her were flattering them one after another.
Yun Wu did not show that she enjoyed it very much. She treated everyone with a distant and polite attitude, and her flattery went in one ear and out the other.
Zhiqiu behind her had his emotions written all over his face and snorted coldly at Madam Li.
"Sister Ye is here!"
"Flying frost!"
Some girls had already seen Ye Feishuang coming, and those who were on good terms with her came over.
Ye Feishuang had a hearty smile on his face and raised his voice and said:
"Today is the poetry gathering held by my Ye Mansion. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Ye Feishuang sat down surrounded by a few girls who were on good terms with her, and as a result, she saw Yun Wu sitting opposite her.
Unfortunately, they seemed to be wearing the same clothes today.
"Oh, the dress Miss Ye is wearing...is somewhat similar to Madam Lu's."
One lady noticed it with sharp eyes, and everyone turned their eyes to the two of them.
Yun Wu was wearing a goose yellow brocade long skirt with white plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. Her figure was graceful, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Ye Feishuang was also wearing a goose yellow dress and had put on a little makeup for today's appearance.
She was pretty, but ever since she came here through time, she had been running around outside the house like a wild horse, and her skin had become tanned, which made her skin look even more uneven in her yellow clothes.
Yun Wu spoke first and said softly, "It is because Miss Ye and I are destined to be together. The light yellow color is cheerful and just fits Miss Ye's bold personality."
"Madam Lu is so beautiful that we are ashamed of ourselves. The flowing cloud hairpin on Madam's hair is exquisite and ingenious, which really suits Madam's appearance."
A wife of a civil servant said that the incident of wearing the same clothes should have ended here, and no one wanted to investigate it further.
But Ye Feishuang believed that she was a beauty who was praised by everyone in the modern world. She knew from the looks on everyone's faces that they must be saying in their hearts that she was not as pretty as Yun Wu.
She sat there holding her breath, and when she heard someone asking Yun Wu whether the hairpin was given by Lu Ziyin, she could no longer hold back her anger.
"No matter how beautiful your appearance is, you will eventually grow old. It is better to read more books and increase your knowledge and skills than to be trapped in the house in ignorance."
Ye Feishuang raised her chin slightly and said this. She thought of her own talents and abilities that were superior to Yun Wu's, and she couldn't help but calm down a little bit of her jealousy.
In her opinion, Yun Wu was a numb and ignorant woman of this feudal era, while she was a well-educated modern person. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Originally, everyone present didn't care much about wearing the same clothes. They just thought that Ye Feishuang was not as beautiful as Yun Wu.
But Ye Feishuang offended a lot of people by saying this, especially when compared with what Yun Wu had just said.
Some ladies looked at Ye Feishuang with contempt and displeasure in their eyes.
Ye Feishuang wanted to show off her literary talent in front of everyone, so she stood up and walked to the cluster of flowers in full bloom placed next to the pavilion.
"Today Feishuang will use this flower to write a poem to bring good luck to the poetry meeting."
Ye Feishuang had a confident smile on her lips. She picked a flower and held it in her palm, and soon remembered the poems she had read before.
"Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when the flowers bloom!"
Ye Feishuang originally wanted to memorize the whole poem, but she really couldn't remember the first two lines. However, she felt that the last two lines were enough to carry her off.
However, she noticed that some people in the pavilion were covering their lips with their sleeves as if they were trying to hold back their laughter.
"Miss Ye..."
Yun Wu couldn't help but speak out. Her beautiful eyes didn't show any mockery, but she stated the facts seriously:
"The flower in your hand is not a peony, but a peony."
Zhiqiu, who was standing behind Yun Wu, burst out laughing, and that Ye Feishuang was mocking her wife for being uneducated.
Look at this! You can't even recognize a flower and yet you're pretending to be a great scholar! This is your retribution!
"Miss Ye, if you really can't recognize it, you don't have to write a poem, so as not to make a fool of yourself and tarnish your reputation as a talented woman."
A lady who didn't like Ye Feishuang very much spoke in a sarcastic tone, and the people around her tried to hold back their laughter.
Ye Feishuang's face turned blue and red. She lowered her head to look at the flower in her hand and threw it away guiltily.
Yun Wu still remembered what she had just said. She sighed slightly and then stood up.
Her figure was delicate, but at this moment she seemed unusually resolute, and her soft eyes revealed her neither servility nor arrogance.
"Miss Ye said that just now because she has studied and has walked out of the high-walled house, and she acts and speaks as she pleases.
But there are not many women like you in the world. There are more women like me who have lived in the house for a long time. If we were in the same situation as Miss Ye, would Miss Ye still say such words? "
Yun Wu has always been timid and never dared to stand out in crowded places. She was also soft-hearted and easy to bully. Some people had said she was stupid in the past, but this time, she mustered up the courage.
"Well said, ma'am!"
A loud voice was heard, and everyone looked over. They saw that the Ninth Prince Qi Yan had been listening for an unknown period of time, and was now walking up to the pavilion from behind Ye Feishuang.
"Your Highness, your Highness has received your respect."
"No need to be polite, I am just passing by, but I didn't expect to hear such wonderful remarks."
Qi Yan had a flamboyant smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes looked straight at Yun Wu, full of appreciation and approval.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Yun Wu nodded slightly and said, she lowered her eyes, standing slender and graceful, with eyebrows and features like a painting, which made Qi Yan a little distracted.
However, he looked at Ye Feishuang, whose complexion was extremely bad. He had thought that this "talented woman" was truly outstanding in talent and learning. But after hearing what she said today, he felt that she was just so-so.
Qi Yan also looked down on people who relied on their own talents to belittle and look down on others.
"I remember that my brother granted Madam Lu a second-rank imperial decree, which makes her three degrees higher than Miss Ye. Was Miss Ye's remarks just now an act of disobedience?"
"Your Majesty, please understand. Feishuang was just expressing her feelings. She didn't mean to offend Madam Lu..."
Ye Feishuang lowered his eyes and spoke guiltily, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Yun Wu didn't want to stay any longer, but she wasn't the type of person who would pretend she heard nothing, so she immediately asked someone to report the matter to General Ye.
Although General Ye loved his only daughter, the Ninth Prince Qi Yan was present, and Yun Wu was a royal consort.
He had no choice but to bear the pain and pretend to reprimand Ye Feishuang, and then made her kneel down and apologize to Mrs. Lu.
General Ye was an important official in the court with a great reputation, so Yun Wu had to give him some face and did not pursue the matter further.
