In her previous life, Shen Wan was drugged and deceived by her cousin, believing she had lost her purity to Prince Xiao Yun. She married him with a grand procession, helping him ascend to the thron...
Chapter 82 Pay Attention
Seeing Shen Wan's resolute eyes, Xie Jingyu was really worried, "The emperor's marriage is not a joke, your methods are useless."
She hadn't even figured out what to do yet, so how could he conclude that her method was useless?
She was already worried about this matter, and he said such discouraging words.
Shen Wan was about to leave, but Xie Jingyu said, "Don't act rashly, I'll help you."
Shen Wan, “…???”
This person's behavior has been particularly unpredictable recently.
Knowing that she was looking for the gold hairpin, he gave it to her.
She wanted to help Princess Jiangling break off the engagement, and he helped her.
Shen Wan said, "This matter will definitely offend the Marquis of Wucheng and anger the Duke of Song's Mansion, Queen Song, and the Queen Mother behind him."
It was precisely because he knew that this matter was no trivial matter that he was worried about Shen Wanban. Xie Jingyu said, “You are my prince consort. There is no difference between offending you and offending me.”
How can this be the same?
There is a huge difference between them.
If she offended the Prince of Wucheng, the Queen Mother and Queen Song would definitely not want her to marry Xie Jingyu, and would definitely try to ruin her marriage with Xie Jingyu.
Shen Wan said, “I’ll let my eldest brother handle this.”
Xie Jingyu laughed, "If your elder brother could do something like this, he wouldn't feel that he and Princess Jiangling were not destined to be together."
Xie Jingyu knew her eldest brother very well, but she also understood, "My eldest brother doesn't know what kind of person the Marquis of Wucheng is. If he knew that the Marquis of Wucheng likes Longyang, Princess Jiangling would die if she married him. Even if my eldest brother didn't marry her, he would save her."
Xie Jingyu was surprised by Chen Wan's words, "Wucheng Hou's son likes Longyang?"
Before Shen Wan could react, she had said this, and Xie Jingyu asked again, "How did you know this?"
Shen Wan said, "I, I passed by Xianggu Pavilion before and saw him coming out..."
But Xie Jingyu didn't believe this explanation.
The Xianggu Pavilion was built in a remote place, and he could not go there once a year. How could she pass by the Xianggu Pavilion?
In fact, he was more surprised by what Shen Wan said that Princess Jiangling would die if she married the prince of Wucheng Marquis. This woman said that the Taimiao would be struck by lightning. Although this did not happen because of his obstruction, if he did nothing, it would most likely happen. She also said that his mother would die in the Mansion of the Duke of Xingguo. When did she have the ability to predict the future?
Knowing that Shen Wan didn't want to say anything, and wouldn't tell even if asked, Xie Jingyu didn't ask, because he would find out eventually.
He said, "Just because he came out of Xianggu Mansion doesn't mean that the Wucheng Marquis's son has this kind of habit. I will investigate this matter. If it is true, it will be easy to get the emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage. If your elder brother really likes Princess Jiangling, he may not be able to remain calm. I am better at handling this matter."
There is no reason for Shen Wan to be uneasy about a man who marched step by step, entered the capital with overwhelming force, and pulled Xiao Yun down from the throne.
It's just that she doesn't want to owe him too much, but what Xie Jingyu said makes sense. If her elder brother really likes Princess Jiangling and knows that the Prince of Wucheng Marquis is such a despicable person, he will definitely feel sorry for Princess Jiangling. When he is angry, he will inevitably act without restraint. Helping Princess Jiangling to cancel the engagement must be done in secret. Queen Song is narrow-minded and the most protective of her shortcomings.
If she knew that it was her eldest brother who brought disgrace to the Wucheng Marquisate, she would never let her eldest brother marry Princess Jiangling as he wished.
Shen Wan nodded, "Once this is done, I will definitely let my eldest brother thank you."
Chen Li walked in from outside and asked, "What did you accomplish? Let me thank my brother-in-law properly?"
Shouting again!
Shen Wan really couldn't help but sew up her brother's mouth.
Shen Wan said, "My eldest brother refused to tell me who the girl he likes is, so I asked the Prince of Jingbei to keep an eye on her for me."
Shen Li, “…”
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Chen Wan was deliberately trying to irritate him or was serious.
Shen Wan didn't say much and just left.
After Shen Wan left, Shen Li looked at Xie Jingyu, "What does my sister want you to do for me?"
Xie Jingyu sat down and looked at the chessboard. "Didn't she tell you?"
Shen Li was a little skeptical, "Didn't you lie to me?"
Xie Jingyu glanced at him and asked, "What good is there in lying to you?"
"……No."
Chen Li took the chess piece and said, "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, I don't have any girl I like..."
"What about Princess Jiangling? You don't like her either?"
Before Xie Jingyu could finish his words, his mouth was covered by Chen Li. Chen Li's face flushed red, and he was extremely panicked. He lowered his voice and asked, "How did you know?"
Xie Jingyu was afraid that Shen Wan was wrong, so he tried it out, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Xie Jingyu brushed his hand away and said nonchalantly, "Who are you trying to hide from when you peeked at Princess Jiangling?"
Shen Li, “……!!!”
Really, Shen Li even wanted to kill someone to silence them.
He knew that Xie Jingyu was unfathomable, but he didn't expect that he had nowhere to hide in front of him. He thought of what Shen Wan said, that if he couldn't beat Xie Jingyu, it meant that both he and his sister were bullied by him.
I have that feeling.
Shen Li, “…”
Shen Li was worried.
If Xie Jingyu really bullies Shen Wan, he, as the eldest brother, may not be able to protect her.
But right now, my own affairs are more important.
"Don't tell my sister about this!"
Xie Jingyu glanced at Chen Li, and Chen Li's momentum immediately wilted. He looked pleading, "I am your uncle..."
Xie Jingyu put down the chess piece, curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Wan'er."
Chen Ping stood outside the door and never went in.
He wondered when the Crown Prince had seen the Prince of Dingguo peek at Princess Jiangling. Normally, he followed the Crown Prince wherever he went, but he had never seen the Prince of Dingguo and Princess Jiangling appear at the same time.
I understand.
I judge others by myself.
Speaking of Chen Wan, she returned to Mingyue Garden and took out the gold hairpin from the drawer, intending to ask Xie Jingyu to return it to Prince Yong, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
In her previous life, Princess Jiangling had given the golden hairpin away. Princess Jiangling did not value this exquisite and precious golden hairpin that much, but with the golden hairpin, she could go to Prince Yong's Mansion to find her at any time under the pretext of returning the golden hairpin.
Chen Wan was puzzled before. Princess Jiangling wanted to give the pair of hairpins to her, but she refused and the matter should have been over. Why did Princess Jiangling give the pair of hairpins to her eldest sister? It turned out that she gave it to her eldest brother for his sake.
In his previous life, he was kind to her and pleaded for her, so much so that Queen Song was scolded because of his elder brother.
It is certain that my eldest brother likes Princess Jiangling, and Princess Jiangling must also like her eldest brother a little. I don’t know how the two of them met. The emperor had already arranged the marriage of Princess Jiangling to the son of Marquis Wucheng a year ago. With my eldest brother’s personality, he would not easily fall in love with someone he cannot like.
There must be something going on between them that she didn't know about.
Chen Wan's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. After Xie Jingyu helped and the emperor revoked the imperial decree granting marriage to Princess Jiangling, she would insist that her elder brother confess to her.
