After tucking Shen Wan in, Xie Jingyan got up and left.

Shen Wan stared at the gauze curtains above her head with wide-open eyes. She had already slept in the carriage, so how could she possibly fall asleep again?

However, her sleep quality has been exceptionally good lately. She can even fall asleep in such a bumpy carriage. She has to admit she's amazing herself.

Even more impressive was yet to come. Shen Wan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but after lying in bed for a while, she started yawning and eventually fell asleep after turning over.

When I woke up, the sun was almost setting.

She slept soundly and stretched on the bed. Yinshuang and Haitang came in. Seeing that Shen Wan was awake, Yinshuang said, "Your Highness is finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, you wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight."

Shen Wan was very relieved about this. She slept well now; even if she only slept for a day, she could still sleep soundly at night.

Shen Wan threw off the covers and got out of bed. Yin Shuang came over to help Shen Wan put on her shoes and said, "The Duke of Wei's mansion kept its word and really brought back the dowry of the deceased heir's wife to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, along with the maids, servants, and wet nurse..."

The heir of the Duke of Wei said that after the birthday banquet, he would immediately send the dowry back to the Marquis of Wuding's residence. Unexpectedly, he really kept his word and did not delay for even a day or two.

The fact that the Duke of Wei's mansion could still spare manpower to handle this matter, despite being so busy with the birthday banquet, suggests that they were not only angered by the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, but more likely they were afraid that the Fourth Master and Fourth Madam's concession regarding Shen Wei's annulment of the engagement was not enough. They feared that the Old Madam and Father would still insist on annulment and sever all ties with the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, making it difficult for the Old Madam and Father to bring up the annulment again, since the Duke of Wei's mansion's sincerity in marrying Shen Wei was evident to all.

After this incident, the Marquis of Wuding's mansion should no longer dare to target Fourth Sister, and Shen Wan felt relieved.

Yinshuang helped Shen Wan put on her shoes and socks, and said, "The Prince of An and the Prince of Mao are fighting again..."

Why are they fighting again? Last time it was over a piece of calligraphy or painting; neither side would give in, and it ended in a physical fight. "What's the cause of this fight this time?"

Silver Frost said, "They fought because of the five words 'A good dog doesn't block the way'."

Shen Wan, “…???”

When Yinshuang explained, Shenwan finally understood what had happened.

Today is the Duke of Wei's birthday banquet. Prince An and Princess An went to offer their congratulations, but neither of them brought Prince An's heir. They only brought Princess Huai'an. However, the heir of the Duke of Mao went to the Duke of Wei's residence.

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo hadn't had enough to drink at the birthday banquet at the Duke of Wei's mansion, so he invited a few people to go to Deyuelou for a good drink after the banquet. When the heir of the Duke of Maoguo went to Deyuelou, he happened to run into the heir of the Prince of An, who was coming downstairs after lunch.

The two had fought last time and were forcibly separated by Xie Jingyan, so they were already quite unhappy with each other. Now that they met again, they were extremely hostile towards each other.

One went upstairs, the other went downstairs; one blocked the left side when going left, and blocked the right side when going right. If it were anyone else, they would definitely think it was a coincidence, as this is a common occurrence. However, the two who had fought before were convinced that the other was doing it on purpose.

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo remarked, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

The heir apparent of Prince An replied, "That's right!"

The two were already on the verge of conflict, and after exchanging just a few words, sparks flew and they started arguing fiercely.

Because he got into a fight as soon as he arrived in the capital and was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, Prince An and Princess An strictly forbade him from fighting again, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to leave the house for a month. Prince An's heir endured it, but the heir of the Duke of Mao mentioned that a Taoist priest had told him that he was destined to be beaten by his brother-in-law, and that he had seen Princess Huai'an that day, who was very beautiful. He said that beating Prince An's heir might be preordained by fate, and that he could go to Prince An's mansion to propose marriage after beating him up...

The Prince of An could no longer tolerate it and started fighting with the Prince of Maoguo. The two exchanged blows and almost demolished Deyue Tower.

Yinshuang told Shenwan as a joke, but Shenwan couldn't laugh. It was one thing for the heir of the Duke of Maoguo and the heir of the Prince of An to fight, but he also had a foul mouth and made disrespectful remarks to the Princess of Huai'an, who was her future sister-in-law.

Shen Wan was even more worried, not knowing when her elder brother would return. Princess Huai'an was beautiful and came from a good family. In her previous life, many people came to propose marriage, but because Princess Huai'an and her elder brother were in love, the marriage was not agreed to. It wasn't until the Princess of An discovered that she and her elder brother were meeting in secret that the incident of breaking up the lovers occurred. In this life, when Princess Huai'an came to the capital, her elder brother was not in the capital, but he went to Huaizhou. She didn't know if he had met Princess Huai'an.

If Princess Huai'an hadn't fallen for her elder brother, the Prince An's mansion might have agreed to the marriage with someone else.

Tomorrow is the day the earthquake struck Meizhou in my past life. I hope my older brother and cousin can successfully prevent this disaster from happening and then rush back.

She couldn't help but pray in her heart.

After getting dressed, Shen Wan washed her face. Seeing that it was still early for dinner, she took her maid and went for a walk in the garden. When they returned, the maid had already brought the food into the room.

Xie Jingyan came from the study, and the two sat down to eat dinner together.

After sitting down, Xie Jingyan picked up a chicken leg and put it in Shen Wan's bowl, and Shen Wan picked up a piece of green vegetable for him.

The two chatted and ate in a pleasant atmosphere.

Shen Wan quickly finished her bowl of rice and put it down. Yin Shuang was about to refill it for her, but Shen Wan said, "I'm full."

Silver Frost opened her eyes wide.

These days, the princess eats two bowls of rice at every meal, but today she was full after only one bowl.

Could it be because of what the prince said when he hugged the princess today?

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and said, "I don't mind that you're fat."

He was the one who said she hadn't eaten for nothing, and now he's the one who doesn't mind her gaining weight. Whom should she believe?

Furthermore, she has indeed been eating too much these days. To maintain their figure, a proper young lady would only eat half a bowl of rice at most. How could she eat two bowls of rice and a lot of vegetables at every meal like this? She has been too indulgent. The consequence of indulging herself is that she has become visibly rounder these days. She needs to control her food intake.
