Chapter 269 Frightened

Xie Zhihuan grabbed Xie Zhiyao's hand very tightly, with a hint of threat in her eyes.

Xie Zhiyao never argued with them. The fourth wife was born out of wedlock, and if she argued with them, she would only suffer losses.

But they went too far.

Xie Zhiyao fiercely shook off Xie Zhihuan's hand, "Sister-in-law will be frightened and have a miscarriage. Let's see if the prince and princess will punish you!"

Xie Zhihuan said coldly, "If you hadn't broken the kite, none of this would have happened."

Everyone knows how the kite broke.

The eldest sister-in-law could not afford to offend them, so they all hid. In the end, they used her to force the eldest sister-in-law to show up. My parents always said that the prince and the princess were kind people, and the eldest sister-in-law was no exception. She was pregnant, and she came to save Princess Shouzhen even though she knew she had bad intentions.

Xie Zhiyao looked at Shen Wan apologetically, and Shen Wan said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"But……"

Princess Shouzhen and the others had already gone to the target.

Chen Wan said, "Princess Shouzhen's aim is not good, she can't hit me."

Xie Zhiyao, "..."

In her previous life, Chen Wan married Xiao Yun and became the sister-in-law of Princess Shouzhen. She knew Princess Shouzhen's abilities very well.

Princess Shouzhen couldn't hit her, and even if she did, it would only hurt a little.

As for other worries, Shen Wan had none.

The arrowheads were made of soft wax, and Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others didn't dare to use real arrows even if they had to pray for help from heaven.

She was the daughter of Duke Dingguo and the crown prince of Prince Jingbei's mansion. Princess Shouzhen couldn't even explain herself for shooting her, let alone killing her.

Shen Wan walked over and chose a spot to stand. "Is standing here enough for Princess Shouzhen to shoot me?"

The tone of contempt was not concealed at all.

Princess Shouzhen was already angry, so how could she bear Chen Wan's provocation? "You underestimate me, please step back!"

She couldn't even hit the target from here, and it would be even less likely if she retreated further.

Shen Wan took a half step back, his eyes becoming more mocking.

"I told you to back off, don't you have ears?!"

This is exactly what I want.

Shen Wan took seven steps back and said, "If you're not sure you can hit the target, Princess Shouzhen, please stand closer."

Originally, Princess Shouzhen felt that it was a bit far away and was about to take a few steps closer, but after Shen Wan said this, could she still stand closer?

Princess Shouzhen picked up an arrow and aimed at Shen Wan's forehead.

If a man were shot in the head with such force, even with a wax arrow, he would be unconscious for several days and the fetus in the womb would be injured.

But Princess Shouzhen...

Shen Wan really didn't want to look down on her, she was really disappointing.

The arrow fell to the ground before it even reached Shen Wan.

Xie Zhiyao, "..."

So embarrassing.

Did Princess Shouzhen come to Prince Jingbei's Mansion to lose face?

Shen Wan turned around and was about to leave.

Princess Shouzhen angrily asked, "Did I let you go?!"

Chen Wan sneered, "I only agreed to let you shoot once, and you already shot it. You're not good enough, so you want to regret it?!"

"Give this princess the arrow!"

Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others definitely wouldn't dare to take it.

But Princess Shouzhen brought a palace maid with her, and the palace maid handed the arrow to Princess Shouzhen.

Shen Wan walked towards her step by step, "This is the Jingbei Palace, not the Imperial Palace. You want to shoot me with an arrow, and I respect you as a princess, so I will do it. If you dare to shoot me again, I will let you taste the feeling of being chased out of the Jingbei Palace with a broom!"

Princess Shouzhen couldn't believe what she heard, "How dare you threaten me?!"

Shen Wan said, "Princess Shouzhen, you can try it and see if I am just threatening you or if I really have the guts."

She had not been pregnant before, and the emperor had not punished her. Princess Shouzhen was in the wrong, so she came to the Jingbei Palace to show off her power and bully her, the pregnant prince's consort. She did not directly order people to drive Princess Shouzhen away. Princess Shouzhen wanted to test her courage herself. If she really made a scene in front of the emperor, she would not believe that her father and the Jingbei Palace could not protect her.

Shen Wan threw down this sentence, grabbed Xie Zhiyao's hand and took her away.

Princess Shouzhen could not stand being provoked, and even more so she could not stand Chen Wan's disregard for her.

In anger, she raised her bow and arrow.

whoosh.

The arrow shot towards Chen Wan.

It shot to the ground right next to Chen Wan's face.

Shen Wan's face was not broken, but it was scratched red by the arrow.

Shen Wannu turned around, and the cold look in his eyes made Princess Shouzhen feel uneasy.

Xie Zhihuan immediately said, "Thank you, Princess Shouzhen, for showing mercy and letting my sister-in-law go."

"It's boring! Go back to the palace!"

Princess Shouzhen threw the bow in her hand heavily to the ground and turned away.

Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and others escorted Princess Shouzhen out of the house.

Chen Wan was about to turn around when Xie Zhiyao stopped her. If someone really drove Princess Shouzhen out with a broom, it would be a huge event.

Even if her sister-in-law was angry, she had to stop her. Fortunately, Princess Shouzhen left, otherwise God knows how this matter would have ended.

"Sister-in-law, calm down..."

cool down?

Shen Wanfei was about to explode with anger.

She raised her hand to touch her face.

It hurts a lot.

It hurts even if the skin isn't broken.

Chen Wan looked at Princess Shouzhen who was walking away with cold eyes, and then his brows furrowed as he looked at her.

When Princess Shouzhen was crossing the small bridge, she suddenly screamed "Ah" and fell into the lotus pond.

Crash.

The sound of water splashing.

Princess Shouzhen wasn't the only one who fell into the water; Xie Zhihuan and Xie Zhirou also fell in.

Song Nanyue didn't.

She was walking in front, and when Princess Shouzhen fell into the water, she had already crossed the bridge.

Things happened so quickly that a bright smile bloomed on Shen Wan's lips.

After they had laughed enough, the maid over there heard the noise and went over to pull them up, and then Shen Wan came over.

She was not there to watch the fun. After all, she was the Crown Prince's Consort of the Jingbei Palace. Guests are welcome. Princess Shouzhen fell into the water in the Jingbei Palace. It would be rude for her, the Crown Prince's Consort, not to show some concern.

Tsk tsk.

It's really embarrassing.

They were all covered in mud, and Princess Shouzhen's forehead was especially bruised.

After all, the water on this side of the bridge is not deep and there are many rocks, so it would definitely hurt if you fell down.

At the beginning, the Queen sent a nanny to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to teach her the rules, but she fell and had her head broken and her front teeth knocked out, so she was carried back to the palace.

Chen Wan said to Xie Zhihuan and Xie Zhirou, "How did you walk? How did you knock Princess Shouzhen into the water?"

Xie Zhirou said angrily, "We didn't bump into it!"

"I was watching over there, it was clearly you guys who bumped into me!"

Xie Zhirou gritted her teeth and said, "A toad suddenly jumped onto the bridge and scared Princess Shouzhen. She panicked and fell into the lotus pond. We fell because we wanted to save her!"

So that's why she fell down for no reason.

Is it just such a coincidence?

Although it's very satisfying.

But Shen Wan didn't believe it.

Princess Shouzhen was dizzy and dirty from the collision. Looking at Chen Wan's gloating expression, she wanted to strangle him to death.

As the anger came up, Princess Shouzhen's eyes went dark and she fainted.

She fainted suddenly and was in a bad position. The palace maid couldn't support her, and she fell down again just as she was rescued.

He also took Song Nanyue, who had just escaped, away.

Shen Wan, “…”

It's so miserable.

Shen Wan tried hard to hold back from laughing out loud.

There was another round of chaos.

Princess Shouzhen was carried away unconscious, and Chen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan in a happy mood.

After asking Chen An, it turned out that it was not an accident.

When Princess Shouzhen and her companions passed by, Chen An saw a toad squatting on a lotus leaf. He decisively took out a copper coin from his arms and hit it.

The toad was frightened and jumped onto the bridge.

Chen An just wanted to scare Princess Shouzhen and teach her a lesson, but he didn't expect her to be so timid and fall down directly. Even Xie Zhihuan and the others fell down one after another.

Shen Wan was happy and rewarded Chen An with twenty taels.
