The next day, Shen Wan slept until late morning, looking languid, much like an orchid swaying in the wind with dew in the morning light, delicate and beautiful.

Xie Jingyan walked in and saw Shen Wan's tender and affectionate expression. He sat down by the bed, his eyes filled with doting affection. "Weren't you going to the Yun family? Why aren't you up?"

He's fine when he doesn't speak, but as soon as he does, Shen Wan's eyes flash with daggers.

He had the nerve to say that she, who never slept in, now didn't even want to get out of bed and wished she could eat in bed.

Shen Wan didn't speak, but Xie Jingyan said, "If you don't want to get up, sleep a little longer and go tomorrow."

"What an easy-going person!" Shen Wan said irritably. "Will I have the energy tomorrow?"

Xie Jingyan coughed lightly, "You're so thoughtful, having the maid deliver it for you."

Ahhh!

Shen Wan was furious.

If Yun Mo doesn't personally go to deliver the dowry when she gets married, the Yun family will definitely think something is wrong with her and come to see her out of concern.

She glared at Xie Jingyan, then got out of bed and called Yinshuang and Haitang into the room to help her change and wash.

After breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan left the mansion together. When they arrived at the main gate of the mansion, a carriage was already waiting there.

Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan into the carriage and then climbed in himself. Shen Wan sat on the side, and after Xie Jingyan sat down, he pulled her into his lap. Although this wasn't the first or second time they had done this, this time, Shen Wan felt particularly insecure.

I have a feeling that this bastard has some kind of weird fetish. He used to be able to control himself, but now he's completely hooked and can't stop.

Shen Wan said defensively, "It's stuffy in the carriage, I need to sit by the window for some fresh air."

Xie Jingyan released her, leaving the usually easygoing Shen Wan completely bewildered.

Xie Jingyan pinched her nose and said, "Did you think I would disagree?"

That's exactly what she thinks.

Having her thoughts read, Shen Wan said with embarrassment and annoyance, "I'm just scared of you."

Xie Jingyan raised an eyebrow, pulled Shen Wan into his arms, and breathed into her ear, "You didn't think I was going to stay in the carriage...?"

Shen Wan's ears itched and her cheeks flushed red. Not wanting to hear any more, she decisively reached out and covered his mouth.

Can this jerk please leave his mouth at home?

No.

He shouldn't have been allowed to get on the carriage.

With his mouth covered, Xie Jingyan stopped talking. Shen Wan glared at him and then sat down by the window.

As soon as the carriage curtain was lifted, he saw the person he least wanted to see.

This was a fork in the road. Xie Jingyin rode over and saw the carriage from the Ling Prince's residence approaching. He tightened the reins and stopped.

Shen Wan lifted the carriage curtain and her eyes met Xie Jingyin's.

Shen Wan felt unlucky and immediately lowered the carriage curtain.

Xie Jingyin's face was extremely ugly, and there was also a hint of disbelief.

The guards behind him nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets. "Princess Ling isn't...?!"

Realizing they were on the street, the guard quickly stopped talking, but the shock in his eyes was beyond words.

Did he and the prince see a ghost in broad daylight?

He was the one who hid in the shadows and personally knocked Princess Ling off the cliff. To save her, Prince Ling also fell off the cliff. He witnessed it with his own eyes.

Everyone in Kyoto knows how deep the cliff at Gokokuji Temple is; there is absolutely no chance of survival if you fall from such a high cliff.

Princess Keling was not only unharmed, but she even went out in a carriage...

Ling Wang's bodyguard Chen Feng was traveling with him, so Ling Wang must also be in the carriage.

Xie Jingyin's cold gaze swept over the guard, who said, "Your Highness, I did not lie to you. I truly saw it with my own eyes."

Xie Jingyin gripped the reins tightly. He hadn't heard any news of trouble from the Prince and Princess Ling these past two days, and he felt something was wrong. He worried that the Ling family was plotting to make him slip up, so he didn't send anyone to inquire and pretended nothing had happened.

result!

Nothing really happened!

They didn't die at all, and they might not even have been injured!

To fall off a cliff and emerge unharmed is truly a stroke of luck!

As the carriage drove away, Xie Jingyin's face was as cold as if it were carved from ice.

Once she was sure she was far enough away that she could no longer see Xie Jingyin, Shen Wan lifted the carriage curtain again to look at the people coming and going on the street.

The carriage arrived at the Yun family's residence without any obstacles.

When the servant of the Yun family saw the carriage of the Prince of Ling's residence, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted into the gate, "Quickly go and inform the old master and old lady that the Prince of Ling and the Princess of Ling have arrived."

After shouting, they quickly came over to help lift the footstool, showing great attentiveness.

In the Great Chu Dynasty, there are thousands of merchants, but only the Yun family might possess a pardon from death. The old master now walks with a swagger, and the Yun family's prestige has been elevated several notches by that pardon. Ordinary officials and their families no longer dare to look down on the Yun family. This is all thanks to the Ling Prince and his wife.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan stepped into the Yun family home. After walking a few steps, Yun Qi came to greet them. Shen Wan said happily, "Big Cousin."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "I knew you would come today. My grandparents have been talking about you for the past two days."

The three walked towards the inner courtyard, chatting as they went.

Upon arriving at Liushuang Courtyard, after entering the room and passing around the screen, one would see Old Madam Yun sitting on a daybed, her face beaming with smiles.

Shen Wan sat down next to Madam Yun and said, "Grandmother, what kind of magic pill did you take? You look so much younger in just a short time."

Madam Yun couldn't stop smiling. "Look at those lips, they're as sweet as honey."

People are in high spirits when they have good news.

The Yun family is overjoyed at the wedding of their daughter, and with Yun Qi's meritorious service, Old Madam Yun has never been as happy as she has been in the past few days. A good mood is better than any medicine.

Inside, the atmosphere was warm and joyful, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
