At this point, Yang Wan had already given up everything she had. She could not back out even if she wanted to.
She spent a lot of effort to find out Gu Yan's whereabouts.
As a regent with immense power, Gu Yan's whereabouts were not something that an ordinary person could find out.
What Yang Wan could see was that he went to court and returned to the imperial residence every day. There were no other tracks.
How was this possible?
Previously, Yang Wan had met Gu Yan so many times in the capital.
Yang Wan racked her brain, but there was no better idea than getting close to Xia Ling and then getting close to Gu Yan.
So, while she was in contact with Xia Ling, she tried to arrange a plot to meet Gu Yan by chance.
With the help of the Yang family, Yang Wan finally bribed a servant of the regent Prince's mansion and learned a secret.
It turned out that the banquet in the regent prince's mansion was really for Xia Ling.
Because Xia Ling's status was too low, Gu Yan wanted to find a virtuous and magnanimous noble daughter who could tolerate Xia Ling as a princess consort.
Virtuous and magnanimous, who could tolerate Xia Ling?
This was really funny. Men always liked to have many wives and concubines in their residence and get along with each other harmoniously. However, asking a proper wife to tolerate and pamper a concubine was like asking a weasel not to steal a chicken.
There was only one man. If a man truly loved his woman, who could tolerate a man liking another woman in his heart.
Yang Wan was not that magnanimous.
But this was her only chance!
In order to catch Gu Yan's eye, she wrote poems at the banquet and expressed her support for a man's three wives and four concubines. This kind of Yang Wan was sneered at by some of the noble women.
On the other hand, her magnanimous attitude, which allowed her to tolerate three husbands and four concubines, also made many men have the courage to ask her to marry them... ...
The door of the Yang family was broken by the matchmaker.
The people who should have come did not come. Yang Wan waited anxiously.
A few days later, Prime Minister Yang, who was given a cold face by Gu Yan in the imperial court, heard the rumors outside.
Having lost all his face, Prime Minister Yang flew into a rage when he returned home.
He requested for the Family Law and directly punished Yang Wan to kneel in the ancestral hall, Scolding Yang Wan to the point of being a dog.
No one knew why Prime Minister Yang had such a bad temper.
However, in less than three days, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion was directly sent back to the Yang family's hometown in Jianghuai by a transport ship. She was betrothed to a young talent of the Yang family's collateral family.
The arrangements were made very quickly. By the time Yang Wan reacted, she had already been forced to wear a phoenix coronet and a gown. She stood on the wedding hall in her hometown in Jianghuai.
"Wan 'er, it's not that mother doesn't want to protect you, but the entire Yang family has already provoked that person. If you don't marry, the entire Yang family will be in danger. "
Mother Yang's words were still ringing in her ears. Yang Wan wore a phoenix crown on her head and tears fell. She did not know why Gu Yan was so heartless towards her.
She was clearly the same person as Xia Ling. She was smarter and more Noble Than Xia Ling, but her face was not as good as hers.
Gu Yan, she had dreamed of him many times. Every time in her dream, it was their wedding night.
Gu Yan, who was wearing a bright red wedding gown and had a cold outline, seemed to be the only existence in the world. He walked towards her step by step, causing her to be mesmerized.
And the moment she reached out her hand and was about to be held by Gu Yan's hand, she was startled awake like a nightmare... ...
It was as if something had happened that frightened her.
Standing on the wedding hall, looking at her cousin who was walking towards her in wedding clothes and staring at his face, Yang Wan's dream suddenly came true.
So fear was a reason for fear.
She had not been able to marry Gu Yan at all. She had killed Xia Ling, and when the news came, Gu Yan had already sent troops to surround the imperial residence.
