Chapter 502 Hanging upside down

That day, the weather was fine, and Chen Wan took the two children back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Only Yun and Princess Jiangling were in Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Shen Ji and Shen Li were both at the border. No one greeted Xie Jingyu, so Shen Wan didn't let him accompany him.

Escorted by Chen An and Chen Guo.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Chen Wan couldn't remember when he last came back. Looking at the majestic stone lions standing at the gate and the imperially bestowed gilded plaque shining in the sun, he felt both familiar and long-lost.

Before Shen Wan got off the carriage, Yun came out with a smile on her face. Shen Wan called out, "Mother..."

Yun smiled angrily and said, "Even though you've finished your confinement, you still need to rest more. You've been running for four consecutive days. Aren't you tired? And aren't you afraid of tiring the two children..."

First he went to the palace for a banquet, then went to the Lin Mansion, then to the Yun Family, and finally to the Dingguo Mansion.

As soon as she left the confinement period, Chen Wan went out every day.

Shen Wan held Yun's arm and said, "My daughter hasn't been out for several months. Don't you allow me to go a few more times?"

Yun also knew that Shen Wan had worked hard during her pregnancy, “If you want to see mother, it’s the same if mother goes to Jingbei Palace to see you.”

Shen Wan said, “Then I still have to look after my sister-in-law.”

Yun had nothing to say.

Yun looked at the two children and then went into the mansion.

As soon as I entered the second gate, I saw Princess Jiangling coming over from afar, supported by her maid. Her belly was so big, but it would take several months for her to give birth.

"Sister-in-law."

Princess Jiangling couldn't take her eyes off the two children. She was pregnant and didn't dare to hold the children, and no one dared to let her hold them.

“How cute.”

Princess Jiangling gently touched the child's nose with her hand. Mo'er looked at her with her eyes open, and then looked at Shen Wan.

Princess Jiangling did not attend the Princess Shen Wan's banquet in the palace. This was the first time she saw the two children, and she was looking forward to the baby in her belly being born soon.

Shen Wan asked, "Mom, have father and elder brother sent any letters home?"

Yun smiled and said, "I sent a letter home the other day. I heard that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Your father and your eldest brother are very happy. I don't know how long this battle will last. I'm afraid that by the time they come back, Mo'er and Ran'er will have run away."

Moerran'er was able to walk when he was one year old. After walking steadily, he would stagger and run a few steps. Fighting a war for a year would be a huge drain on the national treasury.

North Vietnam is secretly provoking the war, and the sooner the war between Ning Dynasty and Dongliang ends, the better.

But Shen Wan did not have the final say on the war. Her father and the prince were both at the border, and they knew better than she did.

Chen Wan hadn't seen Princess Jiangling for a long time and had endless things to say.

As soon as they reached the garden, a maid came over and said, "Madam, the emperor sent Eunuch An to the Yun family to read out the imperial edict conferring the title of County Master on the young lady, and also gave her a lot of gifts..."

Yun couldn't stop smiling.

The maid said, "The Yun family has received quite a few gifts in the past two days. Old Madam Yun is worried about organizing the banquet, so she asked Madam to go back when she is free."

It’s no wonder that the Yun family is worried, because the people who sent gifts are not only civil and military officials, but also friends in the business world.

When hosting a banquet, you cannot invite civil and military officials today and business friends tomorrow. You can only invite them all together.

But court officials have always looked down on businessmen. Even though the Yun family has Yun Shi, the wife of Duke Dingguo, Chen Wan, the Crown Princess of Jingbei, and Princess Qingning, Yun Miao was looked down upon when he entered the palace for a banquet.

The Yun family has been worried about this for two days.

Before Yun Shi returned, she was already worried about the Yun family. Chen Wan said, "Mother and the Yun family are overthinking. Just do what needs to be done. All the civil and military officials know that the Yun family's business is spread all over Ning Dynasty and they have many friends in the business world. The Yun family can just send the invitation. If they don't like it, they can just not go."

Yun nodded, "You are really insightful. I will tell your grandfather this tomorrow."

After walking around the garden and sitting in Yun's yard for a while, it was time for lunch.

Chen Wan and Princess Jiangling accompanied Yun for lunch. Mo'er and Ran'er had their milk, and they were afraid that the shaking of the carriage would make them vomit, so they stayed for another quarter of an hour before leaving the house.

Just as she reached the gate, a maid came over and said, "Madam, something happened to Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song..."

Are you so quick to act?

Shen Wan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What happened to them?"

The maid grinned, revealing her snow-white teeth. "I don't know who Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song offended. They were beaten black and blue, and were hung upside down on a tree by the river outside the city..."

Shen Wan, “…”

Zhao Ang dared to think.

Xie Jingyu dared to teach.

The Prince of Yuzhang and his men really dared to take action.

A prince, who was aiming to compete for the throne of the crown prince, was beaten black and blue and hung upside down on a tree. Not only did he lose all his face, but I'm afraid that those court officials who supported Xiao Yun would be shaken.

Xiao Yun lost face so much that Shen Wan felt very happy.

She walked out of the house, and Xie Jingyu came over on horseback. He dismounted, saluted Yun, and said goodbye.

Shanhu helped Chen Wan get on the carriage, and then the two wet nurses carried the children up. Chen Wan wanted to ask Xie Jingyu anything but couldn't find a chance. After all, beating the prince was a serious matter. If someone heard it, it would bring trouble to herself.

The carriage left, Shen Wan lifted the curtain to look at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu said, "Come out."

Shen Wan was bewildered, but did as he was told.

The servant stopped the carriage.

Xie Jingyu stretched out his hand, and before Shen Wan could react, his hand was already stretched out, and then the next second his body flew into the air. By the time Shen Wan reacted, it was too late, and he was already sitting in Xie Jingyu's arms.

Shen Wan said, “It’s not good to ride a horse in public…”

Xie Jingyu said, "It's not like we haven't ridden together before."

Shen Wan, “…”

Without giving Shen Wan a chance to refuse, Xie Jingyu rode forward directly.

Shen Wan accepted his fate and asked, "Hanging Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song upside down from the tree, did you also have a part in it?"

Xie Jingyu said, "It's such a small matter, why should I do it myself?"

...Is this still a small matter?

If Queen Song and Xiao Yun knew about this, they would be so angry that they would die.

Um.

I'm afraid the emperor must be very angry.

When the prince was beaten, he not only lost face himself, but also the emperor's.

On the way back to Prince Jingbei's Mansion, Chen Wan sat in Xie Jingyu's arms and saw from afar Queen Song's phoenix carriage heading towards Prince Cheng's Mansion. Queen Song would not feel at ease unless she saw Xiao Yun being beaten with her own eyes.

When they arrived at Prince Cheng's Mansion, Queen Song got off the carriage before it had completely stopped and walked towards the courtyard where Xiao Yun lived in two steps.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xiao Yun sitting on the couch with a bruised face and nose. Really, if this wasn't Prince Cheng's Mansion, Queen Song wouldn't have believed that this was her son.

Queen Song's face was ferocious, and her lips were trembling with anger. "Who is this person who dares to hit you?!"

Xiao Yun's eyes were sinister and veins bulged on his forehead.

The guard shook his head, "I don't know who it is..."

"have no idea?"

"How many people in Kyoto have the guts to beat up the king?!"
