After Xie Jingyan left, Shen Wan returned to the inner room, but she had no patience to sit down and wait. She was so anxious that she paced around like an ant on a hot pan.

My eyelids twitched, my heart raced with anxiety, and a suffocating fear gripped my soul.

Silver Frost and Begonia looked at each other in bewilderment.

Haitang reassured Shen Wan, "Princess, don't worry. The young master is highly skilled in martial arts and often races horses. He'll be fine. Besides, the prince has already gone there and will definitely bring the young master back to the manor."

What's the use of being highly skilled in martial arts? In my past life, I was still thrown off my horse during a race and almost died under its hooves. Most of those who drown are good swimmers. If you can't race a horse, you won't go on the race and you won't face this danger.

Shen Wan was worried that by the time Xie Jingyan arrived, the horse race would have already started, and then it would be too late.

After pacing back and forth in the room countless times, until Yinshuang and Haitang were completely dizzy, the maid Dong'er came in and said, "Your Highness, the Prince has brought the young master back..."

Before the maid could finish her report, Shen Wan stepped out. As she stepped out the door, she saw Xie Jingyan striding towards her, with Chen Feng following behind him, carrying her elder brother Shen Du on his shoulder.

Shen Wan's heart, which had just settled, instantly jumped into her throat again. She quickly went down the steps and asked, "Is my older brother alright?"

Xie Jingyan shook his head, "It's nothing, I was just knocked unconscious."

Chen Feng, carrying Chen Du, asked, "Where do we put him?"

Thinking that her older brother didn't take her words seriously, Shen Wan was furious and said, "Just throw it on the ground."

Chen Feng, "..."

Throw...throw on the ground?

Chen Feng's lips twitched violently.

He thought the princess was already ruthless enough to the prince, but he never expected that she would be even more ruthless to her own elder brother.

Suddenly, he stopped standing up for his prince.

Although it was Shen Wan who told him to throw it, Chen Feng didn't dare to actually throw it. He looked at Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan was also taken aback by Shen Wan's words, "Take it to the study."

Chen Feng complied.

Upon entering the study, Chen Feng placed Shen Du on the daybed. Shen Wan followed him into the study, but went straight to the desk. There was a teacup on the desk, which Shen Wan casually picked up and splashed directly onto her elder brother's face.

Extremely rude.

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Chen Feng, "..."

Silverfrost and Begonia, who followed in, were also present. "..."

Chen Feng silently turned his head to look at his lord.

My lord, the princess has been quite gentle with you.

Shen Wan splashed a cup of cold tea directly onto Shen Du's face, the tea leaves almost smearing his face. When Shen Du woke up, he was furious.

He hadn't suspected Shen Wan of splashing it; he thought it was Xie Jingyan. He angrily shouted, "Xie Jingyan! Don't think that just because you're my brother-in-law I won't dare hit you!"

Xie Jingyan crossed his arms, looking on with an expression of watching the spectacle.

Shen Wan retorted angrily, "I was the one who spilled the tea!"

Chen Du, “…???”

Shen Du's imposing manner immediately deflated, and his voice softened, "Why did you spill your elder brother's tea if there was nothing wrong?"

Shen Wan said angrily, "Brother, you promised me you wouldn't race horses with others anymore!"

Shen Du suddenly felt a little guilty, but not much. "I haven't forgotten my promise not to race horses with anyone. My second and third brothers called me several times, but I didn't go. But promises should be kept in order. Last month, the third young master of the Li family, the residence of the Minister of War, lost to me. I promised to give him a chance to win back. I would have conceded defeat directly, but he wouldn't agree and even took my family heirloom jade pendant..."

At this point, Shen Du almost jumped up, "A jade pendant?!"

"If I don't play, I won't be able to get the jade pendant back."

Chen Du was in a hurry.

If Young Master Li hadn't torn off his jade pendant and used it as a bet in the horse race, he wouldn't have participated.

He was already on horseback, just waiting for the drums to sound to start the competition, but Xie Jingyan told him to give up. He was already ready to go, how could he agree? Xie Jingyan didn't waste any more words with him and directly pulled him off the horse. He was dumbfounded, and then he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he was in Xie Jingyan's study, with tea leaves smeared all over his face.

As the brother-in-law, he was utterly humiliated, and what he found even more unbelievable was that it was his own sister who had splashed the tea on him.

Seeing the raging anger in Shen Wan's eyes, Shen Du was genuinely frightened. He had never seen his younger sister look like this before. He said, "It's just a horse race. I used to race horses all the time. You're making a mountain out of a molehill..."

Is she making a mountain out of a molehill?!

Shen Wan was almost driven mad with anger.

With red eyes, Shen Wan said to Chen Du, "Do you think I don't know you like horse racing?! Do you think I would want to take away this hobby of yours?! Because I've seen you get into an accident while racing, fall off your horse, injure your arm, and look so dejected that you can no longer hold your red-tasseled spear!"

"I don't want to see it a second time!"

Shen Wan screamed almost hysterically.

She was truly terrified and furious, and she didn't care about anything else.

Everyone in the study was looking at her. Shen Du looked at Shen Wan and said, "What are you talking about, sister? When did you see that my arm was injured?"

"In a dream!"

Shen Du, “…”

Shen Du's lips and eyes twitched, then he looked at Xie Jingyan and asked with his eyes: Is my sister stupid? She actually believed what happened in her dream.

Shen Du said, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality."

"That's not my dream!"

Chen Du had nothing to say.

Xie Jingyan asked Chen Feng to get one of his brocade robes for Shen Du, and then said to Shen Wan, "I knocked your elder brother unconscious and took him away at the racetrack today. No one will ask your elder brother to race horses again."

"No, that's best," Shen Wan nodded slightly.

Chen Feng handed the brocade robe to Shen Du, who then walked behind the screen. Just as he reached the screen, his servant rushed into the study, panting, "Young Master, something terrible has happened! The Second Young Master is in trouble!"
