Xie Jingyan looked helpless. "Your eldest cousin and the Wei family have reached an agreement on the purchase of warhorses, but the contract with the Wei family was signed by the imperial court. Father Emperor entrusted this matter to me, and I accepted it."

He could refuse other matters, but he was the one who proposed the Iron Cavalry in the first place, so there was no reason to hand it over to someone else at the last step. Furthermore, the Left Prime Minister and the Duke of Maoguo, among others, did not agree with the Emperor entrusting the task of forming the Iron Cavalry to Shen Jing. This morning at court, they heard that the Iron Cavalry numbered six thousand, and they all wanted a share. One of them tried to take a thousand Iron Cavalrymen, but the Emperor did not agree.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, I'll have to keep an eye on it myself.

He'll be busy with this for the next couple of days.

The next day, Xie Jingyan left the mansion after breakfast. Shen Wan was used to Xie Jingyan staying at the mansion and didn't see him all day, so she was a little unaccustomed to it. However, she had to get used to it. Shen Wan had a premonition that Xie Jingyan would soon have to go to the morning court every day.

It was too hot, so Shen Wan didn't go out. She stayed indoors embroidering. There was an ice basin in the room, which made it very cool.

Just as she finished embroidering an auspicious cloud, Chun'er came in and said, "Your Highness, the second young master of the Yun family has arrived."

Yesterday, Shen Wan learned from Haitang that her second cousin was coming, so she put down her embroidery hoop and got up to go out.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Steward Zhou leading his second cousin, Yun Lang, in.

Shen Wan said, "We're family, why is my second cousin being so formal with me and coming to thank me?"

Yun Lang smiled and said, "We should thank our family as well."

It's a pity that Prince Ling is busy and not at home.

Yun Lang turned and glanced at the servant. The servant stepped forward, and Yun Lang picked up the top brocade box and handed it to Chen Wan. The servant then handed the rest to Yin Shuang.

The brocade box that Yun Lang handed over looked somewhat familiar to Shen Wan.

Since her cousin had brought the thank-you gift, Shen Wan accepted it without hesitation.

Curious about what her cousin had given her, Shen Wan opened it.

Shen Wan was stunned when she saw the jewelry in the brocade box.

Isn't this the set of jewelry that my second cousin gave to Miss Tao?

Why did I give it to her?
