Chapter 167 Jealousy

Shen Wan didn’t know much about Madam Zhou, but now his second uncle and second cousin had gone to Qingzhou. When they returned to Beijing, he could ask them about the Zhou family’s situation.

It was rare for Chen Wan to come to the Yun family. Together with Yun Qing and Yun Miao, they chatted with Old Madam Yun to relieve her boredom.

Madam Yun praised Xie Jingyu highly, "It's rare to see a young man from an aristocratic family who is as approachable as the Prince of Jingbei."

Shen Wan, “…”

That's because you haven't seen him lose his temper.

The word "approachable" is a million miles away from him.

Xie Jingyu accompanied her to the Yun family, and Chen Wan couldn't say anything bad about him. Anyway, the Yun family and Xie Jingyu didn't have many opportunities to interact, so let the misunderstanding be a misunderstanding.

Shen Wan was very happy staying at the Yun family. After Xie Jingyu and Yun Yan left, she didn't come back until lunch, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

For lunch, the table was filled with delicious food, all of which were Chen Wan’s favorites, including those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, run on the ground, bear paws, and camel humps, as well as Chen Wan’s favorite pastry, the Yunxiang cake.

Only the Yun family knows how to make Yunxiang Cake, which is a specialty of Yunzhou and is not sold in Kyoto.

When Chen Wan left, he took a lot with him, including food and things to take away. No one else could do that.

Yun Yan was ready to see them off, but Xie Jingyu was accompanying Chen Wan in the carriage, so it didn't make much sense for him to see them off, so he only saw them off to the gate.

After the carriage drove away, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "Thank you very much."

Xie Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "Thank me for what?"

"Accompany me to the Yun family. Grandpa and grandmother are all very happy."

Shen Wan is a heartfelt thank you.

But this man didn't talk properly. Now, he pulled her into his arms and said, "Isn't this what I, as the son-in-law of the Yun family's granddaughter, should do?"

Tease her again.

I shouldn't have thanked him.

Xie Jingyu smiled and said, "Old Master Yun told me a lot about your childhood."

...Grandfather is really something. Why would Xie Jingyu be interested in her childhood?

But it's not my grandfather's fault. He couldn't talk to Xie Jingyu about the Yun family's business affairs. The Yun family didn't know much about official affairs, so they couldn't talk about it together. So he talked about her.

But when she was a child, she was always recuperating from illness. She rarely went out, and she went to the Yun family even less often.

Shen Wan was wondering if she had done anything stupid in the Yun family, and then Xie Jingyu hugged her waist and carried her to the side to sit down.

Shen Wan, “…”

What a jerk.

If you want to hug her, hug her. If you don’t want to hug her, just throw her aside.

There were knives stabbing in Shen Wan's eyes, and he didn't notice that a certain gentleman looked a little uncomfortable. It was not that he didn't want to hug him, but that he felt uncomfortable when hugged.

Chen Wan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the people coming and going on the street. The hawkers' cries were heard everywhere.

Passing by a gambling house, seeing someone coming out of it, Shen Wan's mouth curled up.

It seems that even if she is reborn, many things will still be the same as in her previous life. Young Master Qu goes in and out of the gambling house, and it is very likely that he will end up in debt like in his previous life.

In this life, let alone asking the Yun family for help in paying off gambling debts, Qu Yan herself was divorced and sent back to Shangshu Qu's residence. However, it has been two days, and this scandal has not spread. It can be seen that the old lady issued a gag order in order to ensure Shen Ti's marriage, and it was sealed tightly.

The carriage moved forward for a while and then stopped.

Xie Jingyu asked, "Why did it stop?"

The servant said, "The road ahead is blocked."

Chen Ping rode out to check and quickly returned, saying, "It was the fourth branch of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion moving. They were carrying too much stuff, and the carriage flipped over."

Shen Wan had long known that the old lady had separated the fourth branch from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion in order to protect the second branch, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

That's right, Chen Xun hit his head and fell into a coma. The doctor said that if he doesn't wake up within three days, he will have to prepare for his funeral. If he is not moved quickly, if Chen Xun dies in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, it will be bad for Chen Ti to rush through the wedding and funeral.

The old lady had high hopes for Shen Ti and didn't want anything to affect Shen Ti's marriage to Xiao Yun, so she could only wrong her unlucky grandson.

The carriage was delayed for a while but soon passed through. Originally, the family scandal of Duke Dingguo's Mansion was kept secret, but with the separation of the four branches, these scandals could no longer be concealed.

My parents are not dividing the family, especially since the fourth daughter of Duke Dingguo's Mansion is going to marry Prince Cheng as a concubine in a few days. However, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is dividing the family at this critical juncture. Something big must have happened.

Everyone was guessing what big mistake the fourth house had made, so that Duke Dingguo couldn't even stand it for a few days and separated the fourth house.

Various speculations came one after another.

Then the news that Chen Xun and Qu Yan committed adultery, were caught by Chen Xun, and that Chen Xun was injured spread.

Everyone who heard about it found it strange. "Shouldn't it be the second branch of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion that was separated? Why is it the fourth branch that was separated?"

Someone in the know said, "He's biased!"

"Why would Duke Dingguo be so partial to this matter?" someone asked in confusion.

"Of course, it wasn't Duke Dingguo who was biased. It was the old lady of the Duke Dingguo's mansion who was desperate. She would rather separate the unfortunate fourth wife from the mansion than let Duke Dingguo separate the second wife. This forced Duke Dingguo into a corner and he had to kick out the source of the trouble, the second young master of the Duke Dingguo's mansion."

"No wonder Second Young Master Shen got his grandmother's maid pregnant. With such a partial and protective grandmother, it's no surprise that she would spoil her grandson into something worthless."

"To spoil a grandson is like killing him. It's a pity for Fourth Young Master Shen. I don't know if he can survive tomorrow noon..."

…

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Jingbei's Mansion.

After Xie Jingyu got off the carriage, he helped Shen Wan down.

Stepping into the mansion, Chen Wan saw the servants busy at work in the outer courtyard, and suddenly thought of Fu'an, so he asked Xie Jingyu, "Where is Fu'an? Can I see him?"

This woman really cares about the guy named Fu'an.

"In a few days, I'll have Chen Ping take him into the palace."

Shen Wan then asked, "Why does it take a few days?"

A dangerous light flashed in Xie Jingyu's eyes, "Are you so anxious to see him?"

"He's done me a favor..."

Shen Wan was halfway through her words when she saw Xie Jingyu's jealous look on his face. Shen Wan suspected that she was blind.

Shen Wan wanted to see clearly, but Xie Jingyu had already walked away.

It's definitely an eyesore.

Xie Jingyu thought Shen Wan would catch up, but he was so slow and leisurely that he became even more unhappy. He turned around and saw Shen Wan rubbing his eyes, so he asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

He couldn't say that he suspected there was something wrong with his eyes, so he put his hand down and said, "Nothing, I was just blinded by the wind and sand..."

"Let me see."

Shen Wan wanted to refuse, but Xie Jingyu lifted her chin without saying anything and blew in her eyes.

I was fine at first, but when he blew on me, my eyes became so blurry that I couldn't open them.

It even felt like he had blown my brain away.

My heart was pounding.

Xie Jingyu blew twice and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Shen Wan, “…???”

What does being blinded by wind and sand have to do with walking?

Then she was picked up by Xie Jingyu.

Shen Wan's face flushed red, and she struggled, "I can walk by myself..."

"Don't move. Your eyes are already blurred. If you sprain your ankle again while walking, I will still have to carry you back."

What is this theory?

Will you definitely sprain your ankle if your eyes are blinded?

"My eyes are healed now."

But Xie Jingyu just wouldn't let her go.

Shen Wan couldn't struggle free and could only bury her head in his arms.

The second wife passed by and saw this scene, her brows furrowed.
