Meanwhile, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan boarded the carriage, and the driver drove it back to the Ling Prince's Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan with confusion, "Why are you helping the Prince of An's heir?"

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and said, "I'm helping your older brother."

Shen Wan, “…???”

Help her older brother?

Are you kidding me?!

She even wanted to secretly help her older brother beat up the Prince An's son to vent his anger.

She was being kind by not clapping and cheering when the heir of the Duke of Mao beat up the heir of the Prince of An.

Shen Wan stared intently at Xie Jingyan, wanting to know how he had helped her elder brother, but matters of the court could not be explained in a few words.

In addition, some of this was his guess, and he couldn't tell Shen Wan before he was sure.

Xie Jingyan said, "You'll find out later."

They're deliberately keeping us in suspense.

A gloomy, dark atmosphere.

What's even more infuriating is that his own older brother isn't coming back, and he hasn't even sent a message.

Thinking about how his elder brother had beaten someone without knowing the identity of the Prince of An's heir, thus angering the Princess of An...

She needs to find a way to nip this possibility in the bud.

Who knows when her older brother will come back? What if he beats up the Prince An's heir again? She never thought her older brother would leave the capital. If she had known, she would have drawn a portrait of the Prince An's heir and shown it to him. But knowing her older brother's personality, even if he knew it was the Prince An's heir, he wouldn't stand idly by and domineering.

On the way back to the Ling Prince's residence, Shen Wan kept thinking about this matter. Suddenly, she laughed, for some reason.

Xie Jingyan asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Wan looked at him and said, "I won't tell you now, you'll find out later."

Xie Jingyan, "..."

This woman.

That's a bit too petty.

He just didn't tell her the inside story, and she held a grudge, seizing the opportunity to retaliate against him.

Xie Jingyan had a helpless expression on his face.

The carriage continued forward until it returned to the Ling Prince's residence before stopping.

Stepping out of the carriage, Shen Wan glanced at the sky. At this hour, Chen Yu should have returned from the villa in the north of the city. She wondered if Shen Ying had gone there today. Shen Wan was somewhat impatient.

Feeling eager, Shen Wan walked back to Moyuxuan three steps faster than usual. After entering the room, she went straight to the window.

Pushing open the window, Shen Wan glanced around, and Chen Yu leaped out and landed outside the window.

Shen Wan asked, "This trip wasn't a complete waste of time, was it?"

Chen Yu shook her head. "No."

After saying those two words, that was the end of it.

Shen Wan frowned, while Yin Shuang said impatiently, "It wasn't a wasted trip. Now tell me quickly what the Princess Consort of Jin went to the villa in the north of the city for?"

She only spoke when asked, leading Yinshuang to suspect that Chen Yu didn't want the reward but rather wanted to be punished.

Chen Yu looked embarrassed and said, "It's a bit difficult to say. I haven't figured out how to tell the Princess yet."

Shen Wan's already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply. "Just tell the truth."

She had seen plenty of dirty things in her past life, and she wasn't so delicate that she would be disgusted by something so trivial that she couldn't eat.

Chen Yu glanced at Xie Jingyan, who had walked behind Shen Wan, and seeing that he didn't stop her, Chen Yu said, "Princess Jin went to the North City Villa to study..."

study?

Is Shen Ying really that diligent and studious?

And what's so shameful about going to study?

Without thinking twice, Shen Wan blurted out, "What should I study?"

"...the art of the bedroom."

Shen Wan, “…!!!”

Almost the instant the words entered her ears, Shen Wan's face turned bright red.

It was even more awkward, especially since Xie Jingyan was standing right behind her.

What's even more embarrassing is that Shen Ying has such poor comprehension skills that verbal instruction from the brothel girls isn't enough; they have to teach her by example, giving her a live sex show on the spot...

Shen Wan regretted it so much she wished she could bite her tongue off. If she had known that Shen Ying was studying this, she would never have asked her, she had made Shen Ying lose face completely.

Things I didn't understand before, I understand now.

No wonder Xie Jingyin's attitude towards Shen Ying was so different in the two lifetimes. She had always thought that Xie Jingyin and Shen Ying were secretly having an affair because the Second Master had seized the title of Marquis of Pingyang and the military power in her father's hands. Now it seems that it is clear that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen lover. A lady from a respectable family is dignified and self-restrained, which is incomparable to a courtesan. In order to firmly grasp Xie Jingyin's heart, Shen Ying actually abandoned the dignity of a lady from a respectable family and went to a courtesan to ask her how to serve a man. The old lady and the second branch of the family really didn't care about their face and self-respect for the sake of power and status.

She despised him from the bottom of her heart.

After Chen Yu finished reporting, he jumped up into the tree, and Shen Wan forgot that she still had something to ask Chen Yu to do.

Yinshuang and Haitang had long since disappeared, leaving only Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan standing behind her in the room.

Shen Wan didn't know how to turn around. When she turned back and met Xie Jingyan's gaze, a string in her mind snapped for some reason, and the words that came out of her mouth bypassed her brain: "Don't look at me like that, I won't learn those things!"

Xie Jingyan raised an eyebrow and leaned down to whisper in Shen Wan's ear, "If anyone should learn to serve you, it's me."

"...Shameless!"

Shen Wan pushed him away and ran away with a flushed face.

That bastard just bullies her!

Shen Wan's face was redder than the fiery clouds at sunset. She ran out of the house again, and the maids in the courtyard covered their mouths and laughed when they saw her.

Shen Wan ran out the door, but had nowhere to go. After wandering around the streets for half a day, she was too tired to go to the garden, so she waited in the pavilion for Xie Jingyan to come out of the inner room.

But Xie Jingyan didn't come out no matter how long they waited. Instead, a maid brought food into the room, and it was already lunchtime.

Haitang came over and invited Shen Wan, saying, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch."
