Xie Jingyan then said, "Send my father-in-law away from the capital."

Shen Wan, “…!!!”

Sending my father away from Beijing?!

Shen Wan knew that her father would leave the capital after her cousin's wedding banquet, but no one had told her that it was today.

Shen Wan said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me my father was leaving the capital?!"

Xie Jingyan said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but my father-in-law won't allow it."

If his father forbids him to talk about it, does that mean he won't talk about it?

That bastard clearly did it on purpose!

She took the trivial authority given to her by her father as a powerful command.

Shen Wan asked, "Is there anything my father wants you to convey to me?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I didn't say anything, just that you shouldn't bully me."

Shen Wan, "..."

Who's bullying whom here?!

Shen Wan snorted and said, "Don't lie to me, my father would never say such a thing."

But once she said those words, Shen Wan lost her confidence. She hadn't forgotten what her father had told her when she told him not to harm the Prince of Ling when he married her.

In his father's eyes, was Prince Ling really that easy to bully?

Xie Jingyan pinched Shen Wan's delicate nose and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your elder brother when he comes to the Prince's Mansion in a couple of days."

Shen Wan was stunned and said, "My elder brother didn't leave the capital with us?"

"The five hundred soldiers who went to the northwest to collect warhorses have already set off. Your eldest brother will leave the capital a few days later, along with Young Master Wei and the others," Xie Jingyan said.

The soldiers walked, while Chen Du rode a horse. Rather than wasting time traveling, they decided to stay in Kyoto for a few more days. After all, Chen Du had only been married for a short time and was still in the honeymoon phase. Every extra day they could stay in Kyoto was a good opportunity.
