Chapter 31 Blessing

Chen Wanming's elbows were bent outward. Ye Caiwei was her cousin, but the Yun family didn't owe Ye Caiwei anything. She was helping Ye Caiwei to ask the Yun family for things, and she was even thinking about it. The old lady couldn't stop her from going.

Ye Caiwei struggled several times, but Shen Wan held her hand tightly, so she didn't dare to shake it off and was taken away by Shen Wan.

Yun said, "It's already lunchtime. It won't be too late to go after lunch."

"If this matter is not resolved quickly, my cousin will not be able to eat."

Before he finished speaking, everyone had already left.

No matter who saw it, they would not say a word. Chen Wan was so devoted to Ye Caiwei that even Shen Wu and Shen Yao were jealous.

Chen Wan had just returned from the Huguo Temple when she went to the Yun family with Ye Caiwei again. On the way, Ye Caiwei stopped crying and her red eyes had eased a little, but the corners of her eyes were still a little red.

Ye Caiwei was shameless, but she also had some dignity. "It's really hard for me to see people like this. How about I just wait for my cousin in the carriage?"

Shen Wan said, "If you are waiting for me in the carriage, then why are you here? The Yun family is the same as the Duke Dingguo Mansion. No one will laugh at you, and they will love you so much."

When they arrived at the Yun family, Chen Wan urged Ye Caiwei twice before she got off the carriage, and the two of them went to look for Old Madam Yun together.

Seeing Shen Wan, Madam Yun smiled, and then seeing Ye Caiwei's red eyes, Madam Yun's eyes flashed with distress, "What happened?"

Shen Wan only told Yun Yan and Yun Shi that Ye Caiwei was the second master's illegitimate daughter, and no one else knew about it.

General Ye died to save Shen Ji, saving Yun from becoming a widow. The Yun family was extremely grateful to General Ye, and they treated Ye Caiwei, the orphan left behind by General Ye, as their own granddaughter. Since Ye Caiwei was brought to Beijing, everything that Shen Wan had was also given to Ye Caiwei.

Madam Yun beckoned, and Ye Caiwei sat down beside her. Madam Yun asked, "Who wronged you?"

Ye Caiwei choked up, her eyes turned red again, and she looked wronged no matter how you looked at her.

Madam Yun looked at Chen Wan, and Chen Wan said, "My cousin was leaving the house today and accidentally bumped into Princess Yun Luan of Prince Kang's Mansion. She damaged the 'Nine Peaks in Snow' painting that Prince Kang was preparing to reframe and present to the Emperor. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion is helping my cousin find a way to deal with the aftermath. I brought her to the Yun family to ask, and asked my cousin to help find out if anyone in Kyoto has other paintings by Mr. Huang so that we can compensate Prince Kang's Mansion..."

Madam Yun said, "I remember your grandfather collected one of Mr. Huang's paintings. Your grandmother asked someone to look for it."

In the previous life, for Chen Wan, the Yun family helped Xiao Yun, and finally sacrificed the entire Yun family. Chen Wan brought Ye Caiwei to the Yun family to ask for a painting, so how could the Yun family be stingy?

Whether Ye Caiwei was moved or not, Shen Wan didn't know, but her nose was sour.

The maid went to Old Master Yun's study to look for a painting. After waiting for a while, Yun Yan came in and asked, "Does it have to be a painting by Master Huang? Are works by other masters also okay?"

Chen Wan shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work. The current emperor loves Mr. Huang's paintings the most. The Duke's Mansion has other paintings. The Prince Kang's Mansion won't embarrass my father for an ordinary painting."

Madam Yun asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you find the painting?"

Yun Yan said, "Grandfather gave that painting away last month."

Madam Yun asked, "Your grandfather really liked that painting, so why did he give it away? What should we do?"

Chen Wan looked at Yun Yan and asked, "Can you find a way to get back the things you gave away?"

Yun Yan rubbed his temples and said, "Cousin Ye needs it, so I have to risk my dignity to ask for it. But the painting has been sent to Yanzhou, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth. Can we make it in time?"

Shen Wan thought for a moment, "Father is deeply trusted by the Emperor. It should be no problem for my father to come forward to help the Kangwang Mansion and the Emperor explain and ask the Emperor to be lenient for a month."

"That's good."

Yun Yan said only a few words and then left.

Madam Yun said to Ye Caiwei, "Relax, your cousin will definitely do what he promised."

Ye Caiwei nodded obediently, and the worry on her face disappeared.

Yun Miao and Yun Qing were not in the house, and since Ye Caiwei's eyes were red, Chen Wan didn't want her to have any more contact with the Yun family, so she said goodbye after a while.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Caiwei said gratefully, "My cousin has been running around for my sake and didn't even have lunch..."

Shen Wan smiled deeply, "My cousin's business is my business, there's no need to be so distant with me."

"Although I don't have parents anymore, I still have my uncle, aunt, and cousin who love me so much. I am blessed after all."

You are blessed.

But where is my real cousin Ye Caiwei?

She didn't even know what her cousin looked like.

But this hard-earned blessing is about to end.

Before sending Ye Caiwei back to the second house, the Dingguo Mansion and the Yun family could only treat her as before, but as long as it was not a matter of urgency, it could always be delayed. The Yun family could help Ye Caiwei unconditionally for the sake of her parents, but there was no reason to give up the paintings collected by her grandfather for the second master's illegitimate daughter.

After returning to Duke Dingguo's Mansion and going to Shou'an Hall, Chen Wu saw that they had returned empty-handed and asked, "Is the Yun family reluctant to give you the painting?"

Shen Wan didn't like to hear this, "When has the Yun family ever been stingy?"

Chen Wu was annoyed by this and asked, "Then why did you come back empty-handed?"

Shen Wan was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Ye Caiwei said, "The Yun family does have that painting, but they gave it away the month before last. It's currently in Yanzhou. The Yun family promised to find a way to get it back, but it will take a month..."

Generally, things that are given away are not taken back. If you can't afford it, you don't have to give it. The Yun family is willing to do such a shameful thing for Ye Caiwei. Who can still find fault with the Yun family? That's really nitpicking.

If only Shen Wan went, some people would probably suspect that the Yun family was reluctant to give it away, but Ye Caiwei went with her, and Old Madam Yun sincerely wanted to help her clean up the mess, so no one would doubt it, and even the Yun family believed it to be true, thinking that the painting had really been given away by the Yun family.

The old lady and Yun discussed it again, and it was similar to what Shen Wan said. Shen Ji went to Prince Kang's mansion to apologize on behalf of Ye Caiwei, and then explained to the emperor, asking the emperor to give him some time. This matter was temporarily suppressed.

After returning to Mingyue Garden, Chen Wan, who had not eaten lunch, picked up the pastries, but could not eat them at all. When she thought about how she had been cheated and how her parents were anxious to arrange a marriage for her, she was so angry that she was stabbing people in her heart.

I don’t know who to stab yet!
