Chapter 432 Contentment

It was almost evening when the prince returned to the mansion. As he stepped into the house, Steward Zhou came to greet him and informed him that the fourth branch had decided on the date for moving to their new home.

The prince didn't react much after hearing this. Moving there would make it closer and more convenient for travel. It was up to the Fourth House to make the decision. He would just go for the housewarming party when the time came.

But after Manager Zhou finished reporting the housewarming, he continued, "The fourth house suddenly wanted to move out. The Crown Prince's wife found it strange, so she asked the maid to find out. Yesterday evening, the eldest daughter and the fourth daughter had a quarrel. She scolded the fourth house for being shameless and refusing to move out even after the family was separated..."

As soon as these words came out, the prince's face turned very ugly.

The prince was already very angry, and Concubine Wen went to complain to him, which just happened to fall into his trap.

Although the prince did not know the exact amount of a concubine's share, he knew that over the years, Concubine Wen had enjoyed far more than she should have.

Concubine Wen harbored evil intentions and tried to replace the child. She didn't know that the prince had sent the child back as it was and sent it to the Wen Mansion. A child of only a few years old who was poorly treated ran away through a dog hole. Not to mention that the princess only gave Concubine Wen according to the quota, even if the prince treated Concubine Wen poorly, he would have nothing to say.

Compared with the cruelty of Concubine Wen and the Wen family, nothing the princess does is excessive.

The old prince has already paid off what he owed to the Wen family over the years.

Concubine Wen was relentless, and the prince was no longer polite. "The princess treats you well, and you're still not satisfied. Then copy two hundred of the family rules. If you can't finish them, you're not allowed to leave the courtyard!"

Concubine Wen was dumbfounded.

She went to the prince to complain, asking him to exempt her and her daughter Xie Zhihuan from punishment, and to have the princess give them monthly allowances and things as before, not to ask the prince to help the princess punish them!

Concubine Wen felt aggrieved and dissatisfied, but the prince did not want to hear a word and directly ordered Concubine Wen to be sent back.

The news that Concubine Wen was punished twice as much by the prince and was also confined to her house spread to Zhaolanxuan. Only then did Shanhu realize why the princess didn't confine Concubine Wen.

The princess knew that Concubine Wen would only bring trouble upon herself if she went to the prince. Shanhu grinned, "The princess punished Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen was unwilling to accept it. The prince was fair in his dealings, and this time Concubine Wen has nothing to say."

Shen Wan said, "Concubine Wen is not wrong. The princess is indeed unfair. She should have punished him by copying 200 articles of family rules, but she punished him by copying 100. It's no wonder that Concubine Wen is dissatisfied."

coral,"……"

Silver bracelet, “…”

If this were to reach Concubine Wen's ears, she would be furious to death.

Concubine Wen had asked for trouble, and Chen Wan was in a very good mood. What made her even better was yet to come. After dinner, Chun'er came in and said, "My Lord and Concubine, the prince has summoned the fourth master and the fourth lady to the Liuli Courtyard for dinner. The prince has asked the fourth house to find a husband for the fourth young lady. After the fourth young lady marries out of the palace, the fourth house will choose a date to move in..."

The family was divided, and Xie Zhiyao was allowed to marry out of the palace. If this matter were to spread, everyone would know how deep the relationship between the prince and the fourth master was.

This is a good thing for Xie Zhiyao's marriage.

Originally, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Lady insisted on moving, but when the prince asked Xie Zhiyao to marry out of the palace, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Lady immediately gave in.

Parents' love is far-sighted. They originally wanted to move because Xie Zhiyao was wronged, so naturally they would stay for Xie Zhiyao.

Xie Zhiyao has indeed reached the age where she should be promised to someone.

The prince and princess severely punished Xie Zhihuan, and Shen Wan also took out her anger on the fourth room. The next day, Xie Zhiyao came to Zhao Lanxuan and Shen Wan to express her gratitude.

Shen Wan said, “He was bullied, but he didn’t tell me and asked me to send someone to find out.”

Xie Zhiyao said, "But, but it's us, the fourth branch, who are in the wrong..."

Chen Wan raised her hand and poked her head, "Why don't you have the right? Others don't know what's going on in the mansion, but you and the eldest girl know everything. The family won't be divided while the parents are still alive. If it weren't for Concubine Wen and the second house's substitution, the fourth house would have to wait until the old lady passed away before dividing the family."

"It's good that you didn't blame her. You were so angry with her that I wanted to scold you again."

Xie Zhiyao reacted and realized that this was indeed the case.

Fortunately, she was scolded and cried yesterday. Xie Zhiyao wanted to go find Xie Zhihuan to have another fight.

Xie Zhiyao hugged Shen Wan's arm and said, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law is here to protect me..."

Shen Wanze asked, "Has anyone asked Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt to marry you recently?"

Xie Zhiyao's face flushed, "Sister-in-law!"

"Do you want us to move out later or earlier?"

Chen Wan looked innocent. A little maid came in and said, "Fourth Miss, the fourth lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion sent someone to deliver an invitation saying that the plum blossoms at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion are in bloom and she invites you to go and enjoy the plum blossoms tomorrow..."

Shen Wan said regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't go..."

Xie Zhiyao said, "I'll pick the most beautiful plum blossom and bring it back for you."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting."

Walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms.

It's beautiful just thinking about it, but it's not possible this year. Chen Wan's belly is heavy, and even Xie Jingyu doesn't dare to take her. We can only wait until next year.

Xie Zhiyao was a little disappointed that it didn't snow, but snowflakes started falling at night. When she woke up in the morning, there was a thick layer of snow on the roof.

Shen Wan woke up in the morning and said, "Why is it so cold today?"

Coral smiled and said, "It snowed last night."

Chen Wan put on her shoes and opened the window, only to see snow piled on the trees, a beautiful and ethereal sight.

“It’s nice to have snow.”

But thinking that some places were suffering from snowstorms at that time, Chen Wan felt that everything should be done in moderation, and too much is as bad as too little.

She had her eldest cousin spread the word early on in the areas where the snowstorm occurred that there would be heavy snow this winter and many people would freeze to death, and asked everyone to stock up on charcoal and reinforce their houses. She didn't know how the matter was resolved.

However, Shen Wan has always been at ease with her cousin's work. God has given her a chance to be reborn, and she must benefit more people and live up to this gift.

It was snowing, so people rarely went out of the courtyard, let alone the outside. Even if they walked a few steps to the study, Shanhu Yinchuan was worried, fearing that the maids had not swept the corridor clean and it would be frozen. If she slipped, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chen Wan had nothing to do, so he gathered around the stove to make tea, roast oranges, and eat chestnuts, which popped in the fire.

While eating, a gust of cold wind blew in. Shanhu turned around and saw Dong'er coming in after opening the thick cotton curtain. Dong'er said, "Princess, Madam Shen is here."

Shen Wan felt strange. Why did Madam Shen come to the mansion on a snowy day?

Then Dong'er continued, "Miss Shen is getting married. The prince and princess sent twenty-four sedan chairs to add to the dowry. Madam Shen came to thank the princess."

There are many noble ladies in Kyoto, but the one who has the best relationship with the princess is Madam Shen. The princess has watched Shen Ling grow up, and it is no exaggeration to say that she treats her like a daughter. When Shen Ling gets married, the prince and princess will definitely give her a generous dowry.

But if you want to say thank you, it’s not too late to wait until the snow melts.

The princess felt the same way. "It's freezing cold out here, why are you being so reserved with me?"

Madam Shen said, "Isn't it that what you and the prince have given me is really too much? I would feel bad if I didn't come and say thank you."

The princess said, "You're still being polite."

Madam Shen said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything..."
