Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 290: "Victory" Hotpot

Yun Han returned to his usual study, where various documents to be processed were piled up on the desk, but he seemed a bit distracted.

Moments later, he propped his right elbow on the desk, rubbing his brow wearily, a look of concern flashing across his features.

After this incident, Shen Tang would surely bear some grudge in her heart, and once she takes office, Qingli’s days will definitely be tough—there might even be a lot of pressure on the Yun Family.

With long fingers lightly tapping the table, Yun Han sighed and called over his most trusted aide, Lin Yu, saying, "Go help me find out what gifts would be suitable for apologizing to someone."

Lin Yu stood at the door, a look of shock crossing his face—heaven knows, after following the Young Master for many years, he had never seen the proud Young Master of the Yun Family apologize to anyone!

However, he was clever and quickly understood the reason, "The Young Master wants to apologize to Her Highness Shen Tang, right?"

Although Lin Yu wasn’t qualified to attend the council, he knew about the recent widespread rumors. Fortunately, the truth was finally revealed, and the injustice was cleared.

He also heard that the Young Master and Shen Qingli had a fierce argument at the meeting, resulting in great unpleasantness, and the two were still in a cold war, forcing the Young Master to avoid going back to the hotel and spending the night here.

Privately, many people were even speculating that the mastermind behind it all was Princess Shen Qingli. Originally, he was somewhat skeptical, but after hearing what the Young Master said today, it became clear to him.

Lin Yu furtively observed the man’s somber expression, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Alas, he had thought Princess Shen Qingli would be a perfect match for the Young Master, but now things have come to this, making his feelings extremely mixed.

Thinking further about Shen Tang’s currently radiant and dazzling image, with her coronation ceremony coming soon, her five Beast Husbands would naturally rise along with her.

The Lu Family, which originally rivaled the Yun Family, naturally would see its status elevated, inevitably overshadowing the Yun Family in the future.

Yet these honors could have originally belonged solely to the Young Master.

If the Young Master hadn’t annulled the engagement back then, the person standing beside this future Monarch today would have been the Young Master!

But it was Yun Han who voluntarily gave up everything.

Yun Han never brought up the past again, but Lin Yu, having been beside him for many years, could discern some of Yun Han’s emotions.

He guessed that the Young Master must have some regrets now.

But what’s done is done, the die is cast, and nothing can change it.

At the coronation ceremony a month from now, the Young Master would still have to attend in person, witnessing Shen Tang and her five Beast Husbands harmoniously together, without knowing what to feel.

Lin Yu hid his myriad thoughts, not wanting to make the Young Master feel even worse, and thoughtfully offered, "The family affairs are busy; it’s just sending a gift. No need for the Young Master to make the trip personally. I can help the Young Master send it."

Yun Han lowered his gaze onto the increasingly chaotic handwriting on the paper, and after a pause, he said in a low voice, "After all, it’s an apology, not delivering good news. Personally going to ask for forgiveness shows sincerity."

Lin Yu thus said no more and went to prepare.

...

A few days earlier, Shen Tang and her party had separated from the main group, returning to the city quite late.

Most of the houses in the good parts of the city had been rented or sold.

Later, someone took into account the Empire Princess’s position, and sold them a small, somewhat old villa near the city outskirts.

This place was originally occupied by an elder in the landlord’s family, but after the elder passed away a few years ago, it had been left empty for several years.

With no one living here for so long, a thick layer of dust had settled over the rooms and courtyard. Coupled with the heavy snow from recent days that no one had cleared, the yard was piled high, and when it melted, there was a lot of standing water.

The living conditions couldn’t compare to a hotel, but the place was spacious, there were many rooms, and the scenery around was quite nice, with a small garden that was rather tranquil and pleasant.

On the first day of moving in, Lu Xiao and the others all got to work cleaning up the courtyard.
