Chapter 65 Coincidence

Chen Yu wanted to follow, but saving people is like putting out a fire, so Chen Ping didn't wait for her. Chen Yu chased him for more than ten steps, but stopped when she couldn't catch up. She watched Chen Ping take the Prince of Zhaoping away and disappear from her sight.

Shen Wan walked over, "Elder sister..."

Chen Yu wiped away her tears and asked worriedly, "Will he be okay?"

Shen Wan said, "It will definitely be fine."

Xie Jingyu walked over, and Shen Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, Prince Jingbei, for saving my life."

Shen Yu said to Shen Wan, "I'll go to the pavilion over there for a while, you two can talk."

Shen Wan, “…”

no.

She and Xie Jingyu have nothing to talk about.

Shen Wan wanted to go with Shen Yu, but she didn't dare, after all, Xie Jingyu had just saved their sisters' lives.

I finally paid off the life-saving favor, but now I owe it again.

Not knowing who sent those assassins, Shen Wan wished he could tear out their tendons and skin them alive.

Seeing that Chen Wan was a little embarrassed, Xie Jingyu said, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Shen Wan looked up at him, then quickly lowered her hand to the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his collar, "Thank you so much for saving me and my elder sister again..."

"Does my brocade robe look good?" Xie Jingyu asked.

"nice……"

Shen Wan said again, and when he reacted, his face flushed.

This means that she was impolite. When she spoke to him, she didn't look into his eyes, but looked at his brocade robe.

But she really didn't dare to look into his eyes.

I didn’t dare to do it before, and I’m even more afraid now.

Shen Wan lowered her head. Xie Jingyu didn't know why Shen Wan was so afraid of him. He said, "I'll take you back home."

Shen Wan uttered an “ah” and said hurriedly, “No, no.”

Xie Jingyu looked at her and asked, "Aren't you worried that there will be assassins ambushing you on the way back?"

Shen Wan couldn't say the words of refusal.

Only the people in the Duke's Mansion knew that she and her elder sister came to the Huguo Temple. Could it be that those assassins were sent by the Duke's Mansion? But her elder sister did not hinder them in any way, so there was no reason to kill her.

Shen Wan turned and walked towards the pavilion. Shen Yu was sitting there, distracted. Seeing Shen Wan coming over, Shen Yu said, "Did you finish your conversation with Prince Jingbei so quickly?"

Shen Wan whispered, "My eldest sister and the Prince of Zhaoping have nothing to say, so how can I and the Prince of Jingbei have so much to talk about?"

She is very confused now.

Between her and Xie Jingyu, there was the humiliation and hatred of scattering ashes in the previous life, and there was also the kindness of him repeatedly saving her and her elder sister in this life.

She no longer knew how to get along with Xie Jingyu. She felt grateful and afraid at the same time.

She really couldn't forget those things from her previous life.

Thinking that her parents would marry her off to the Jingbei Palace within three months and that she would have to live under the same roof with Xie Jingyu in the future, Shen Wan became extremely worried.

"Eldest sister, let's go back home."

Shen Yu wanted Shen Wan to talk to Prince Jingbei for a while longer, but Shen Wan pulled her up, so Shen Yu let her do as she pleased.

Anyway, she will be getting married soon. The Prince of Jingbei is a good guy. Wan'er will definitely be happy if she marries him.

The two of them took a carriage back to the mansion, and Xie Jingyu rode on horseback to protect them. Only when they arrived at the street where Duke Dingguo's mansion was located did Xie Jingyu feel at ease to leave.

After Shen Wan got off the carriage, he helped Shen Yu down. As soon as the two entered the second gate, Yun came over hurriedly, "How could someone assassinate you? Are you injured?"

Shen Yu shook her head.

Shen Wan said, "My elder sister and I are fine, but Prince Zhaoping was stabbed by an assassin and poisoned in order to save us. I don't know how he is now..."

Yun knew that Chen Yu and Chen Wan were assassinated because the Prince of Zhaoping blocked the attack for them for a while, and then the Prince of Jingbei rushed over and saved them from danger.

Whenever Yun thought of the Prince of Zhaoping, she got a headache. The Prince of Zhaoping saved the lives of her two daughters. Even if he was an enemy, she had to go to his house to express her gratitude. However, the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion sent seven visiting cards, and all of them were sent back. The Zhaoping Marquis's wife even knelt down in public to beg her for the Prince. The Dingguo Duke's Mansion would not let the Zhaoping Marquis's wife in, but she wanted to go to the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion.

Not knowing what had become of the Prince of Zhaoping, Yun was overwhelmed by the thought of the upcoming embarrassment.

Chen Wan said, "Why don't you let big brother go and see the prince of Zhaoping first, and then mother will go later."

If Chen Li couldn't enter the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion, Yun Shi wouldn't have to go either.

But this situation should not exist.

Previously, the Taoist priest had predicted that the Prince of Zhaoping had stayed in the Huguo Temple for a few days, which scared the wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping into a frightened bird. Now, in order to save his elder sister, he even risked his own life. How could the wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping not know how her son feels about Shen Yu? If she takes advantage of such a good opportunity to ease the relationship between the two families, the two of them will never be together.

Yun thought this was a good idea. "Your eldest brother is not at home all day, and I don't know where he went. I will send someone to find him and bring him back."

Shen Wan and Shen Yu were going back to Mingyue Garden. They had reached the garden when they were called to Shou'an Hall by the old lady.

"Why did something happen again?"

The old lady looked concerned, but if she really cared about them, she would not have called them to Shou'an Hall for questioning at this time.

Chen Wu said, "Last time, when my elder sister frightened her horse, it was the Prince of Jingbei who saved her. This time, when you encountered an assassin, it was the Prince of Jingbei who saved you too. What a coincidence."

Shen Wan glanced at Shen Wu, "Third sister, there's no need to beat around the bush if you want to say something."

Chen Wu said, "I just think it's such a coincidence."

He kept saying "coincidence" and it was clear that he had a hidden meaning.

Chen Wan said coldly, "It's more than just a coincidence that Prince Jingbei saved us twice. My elder sister and I arrived at the Huguo Temple just as the assassins were there. If Prince Zhaoping hadn't stopped us for a while, Prince Jingbei would have gone there just in time to collect our bodies."

Chen Wu's expression changed. "What do you mean, Second Sister? Do you suspect someone from the Duke's Mansion wants to assassinate you?"

Chen Wan returned her words, "Why are you so excited, Third Sister? I just think it's a coincidence. Those assassins today were clearly targeting the eldest sister. Since the divorce, the eldest sister has rarely gone out. How did those assassins know that the eldest sister went to the Huguo Temple?"

Shen Wu's eyes flashed, "Who knows."

Chen Wan had been staring at Chen Wu, so naturally he did not miss Chen Wu's evasive look at that moment.

She knew that this matter was related to these people in the mansion!

The assassins were not sent by them, so there is no doubt that they were the ones who leaked their whereabouts.

But who wants to kill Chen Yu?

The eldest sister has a gentle personality and never makes enemies with anyone. Could it be the Yongqing Marquis’ Mansion?

But the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion failed to kill her elder sister and had become the target of everyone's beating. The reputation of the Yongqing Marquis's son was ruined. Even if they sent someone to assassinate him, they should have targeted her. After all, if it weren't for her, the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion's plan would have succeeded.

Shen Wan felt that she was not wrong. Today, the assassins were targeting Shen Yu, and killing her was just a by-product.

Unable to figure it out, Shen Wan stopped making things difficult for herself and wanted to go back with Shen Yu. At this time, a maid ran in from outside.

"Madam! It's bad! The Second Young Master and the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue's residence fell into the water together!"
