The book she had spent a long time choosing was placed on Xie Jingyan's desk, and more importantly, her embroidered handkerchief was also left in the study.

Yinshuang said, "This servant will go and get it."

Inside the study, Xie Jingyan rolled up the painting, placed it in the hidden compartment, then turned the porcelain vase, and the bookshelf returned to its original position.

Chen Feng went in and said, "I have completed the task that Master instructed me to do."

Xie Jingyan sat down, and Chen Feng hesitated to speak.

Xie Jingyan asked, "Is there anything else you wish to report?"

Chen Feng said, "Just now, when I returned from my business, I ran into the heir of the Marquis of Pingyang. He was dragged to a horse race by the third young master of the Ministry of War's residence. I remember that the Princess Consort had instructed the heir of the Marquis of Pingyang not to participate in horse races. Should we tell the Princess Consort about this?"

Yinshuang walked to the outside of the study and overheard Chen Feng's words. Without hesitation, she turned around and hurried back into the room to find Chen Wan.

Inside the room, Shen Wan picked up her teacup, but for no reason, a sense of unease flashed through her heart. Just as she was worrying that Yin Shuang might have gone back to get her book while Xie Jingyan was still angry and had offended him and been punished with a cane, Yin Shuang ran back and said urgently, "Your Highness, the young master has gone to race horses with someone."

Yinshuang didn't know why the princess didn't allow the young master to race horses, but she remembered the princess's expression when she instructed the young master, as if something bad might happen to him during the race. Yinshuang dared not fail to report it.

Almost the instant Yinshuang's words reached her ears, Shen Wan's eyelids twitched, startling her so much that she suddenly stood up, dropping the teacup in her hand to the ground.

Clang.

It was smashed to pieces.

Shen Wanqi's eyes were bloodshot.

Her brother clearly promised her he wouldn't race horses with anyone, how could he go back on his word?!

Haitang asked, "Who told you that the young master was racing horses with someone?"

Yinshuang said, "Chen Feng saw it..."

Before Yinshuang could finish speaking, Shen Wan had already stepped out the door. She walked towards the study and happened to see Chen Feng coming out. Chen Feng thought Shen Wan was looking for Xie Jingyan, so he quickly made way for her, but he didn't expect that Shen Wan was looking for him.

Shen Wan said, "Chen Feng, hurry up and go to the racetrack for me and bring my elder brother to the Ling Prince's Mansion."

Chen Feng, "..."

It's just a horse race, isn't the princess being too nervous?

Chen Feng looked troubled. "The heir of the Marquis of Pingyang promised the princess that he would no longer participate in horse racing, and he was even dragged to the racetrack. It's clear that he couldn't refuse. I'm afraid it would be useless for me to go."

"If you can't persuade him, just knock him out and bring him back," Shen Wan said urgently.

"...I can't beat your brother..."

Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, Shen Wan turned and went into the study to find Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan knew how skilled her elder brother was in martial arts. Although she insisted, Chen Feng would probably go anyway, but she wanted everything to be foolproof.

Inside the study, Xie Jingyan sat there, having overheard everything that Shen Wan had said about asking Chen Feng for help.

He casually flipped through the pages when Shen Wan walked over, went around the desk, and grabbed him, her expression anxious as if the sky had fallen. "Xie Jingyan, you have to go save my older brother..."

save?

This word is used far too harshly.

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan's hand gripping his arm and said, "Is this how you ask for favors?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Wan was about to kneel down before him. Xie Jingyan was startled and immediately grabbed Shen Wan's arm, pulling her up.

Just as Xie Jingyan was about to speak, Shen Wan's tears welled up in her eyes. "Go and bring my older brother back quickly! Go now!"

Seeing the urgency, Xie Jingyan dared not take it lightly.

"Don't cry, I'll go right now."
