Chapter 117 Shen Wan, You Are Reckless
Just as I was daydreaming, a maid came over hurriedly: "Miss, Master, the master invites you two to dinner."
This was the first time the old tutor had dinner with them since moving into the Liu Mansion.
Shen Wan vaguely felt that this might not be a good thing.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xie Mubai smoothed the messy hair around her ears and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Shen Wan's hanging heart finally settled down.
Lunch was served in a pavilion in the backyard. Although there were not many dishes, they were all extremely exquisite.
The three of them sat at the stone table, looking at the food but no one picked up their chopsticks.
“Chen Wan, you are reckless.” The old tutor said coldly with a gloomy face.
Shen Wan felt a little guilty, but still forced a smile and said, “Godfather, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
No way?
She performed this drama so brilliantly that even the son of destiny was fooled. There was no reason for her to be seen through by this old tutor at a glance, right?
After hearing this, the old tutor stared at her coldly.
This gaze is extremely sharp, as if it can see into the deepest part of the soul at a glance.
Just one glance made Shen Wan feel uneasy.
"Don't do this!" Xie Mubai stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, saying unhappily, "You'll scare her."
"Are you scared now that you remember it?"
The old master stared at Shen Wan's pale face, looking very disappointed. "You don't have to trust your adoptive father, but before you take action, at least discuss it with that little fox Xie Mubai!"
"Do you know who you are touching?"
"He is the third prince!"
"You know what he's up to with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If he gets hold of something, even I, your godfather, might not be able to save you!"
Anyone with eyes can see that, if nothing unexpected happens, the third prince will replace the crown prince and become the next emperor.
I'm afraid no one knows better than the old tutor what the consequences of offending the emperor are.
"It's already been done, so stop scolding her." Xie Mubai held Shen Wan in his arms and looked at the old tutor coldly.
Seeing him being so protective, the old master cursed angrily: "This girl will be spoiled by you sooner or later!"
"My woman is naturally favored." Xie Mubai said coldly.
The old master glanced at him and sneered, "Your woman?"
"Did I agree?"
"I am her adoptive father, and I decide her marriage!"
He didn't understand. The Third Prince had good looks and a good family background, so why did this girl just not like him?
"Have you decided to marry her to the Third Prince?" Xie Mubai curled his lips slightly and looked at him with a cold expression. "Well, even if she is willing to marry, do you think the Third Prince will treat her sincerely?"
"Of course, for your sake, the Third Prince will not treat her unfairly."
"But have you ever thought about it, Old Master? You are already old. How long can you protect Wan'er?"
Not to mention the old tutor, even Shen Wan felt that these words were too harsh to hear.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly reached out her little hand to pull his sleeve.
The old master's lips turned purple from anger, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Shen Wan was frightened and quickly stepped forward to stuff him with a few quick-acting heart pills, and then used her hand to stroke his chest to help him breathe.
It took a long time for the old tutor to catch his breath.
"My daughter, I don't need you to care about me!" He pointed at Xie Mubai's nose with trembling hands and cursed, "As long as I'm around, you can forget about marrying Wan'er!"
Before he could finish his words, he left, clutching his chest.
Looking at his receding figure, Shen Wan said to the villain somewhat unhappily, "He has a bad heart, why do you have to provoke him?"
The villain disagreed: "Don't worry, he won't die."
If the old tutor had such poor tolerance, how could he have stayed in the court for so many years?
“But…” He hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Wan, “You are really reckless this time.”
How could a man who could painstakingly plan for many years to get rid of the Zhenguo Mansion be a brainless idiot like Chen Yan?
If one day he realizes something is wrong, Harley Quinn will be in danger.
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but look aggrieved.
It would be fine if the old tutor blamed her, but now even the villain blames her.
"Okay, it's all my fault!" She lowered her eyes and cried aggrievedly, "I won't be involved in your affairs anymore. Is that okay?"
If it wasn't for him, why would I become an enemy of the son of destiny?
Seeing Harley Quinn crying, Xie Mubai's eyes softened.
He pulled her to him and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"Silly girl, I know you're doing this for me." He lowered his head, his eyes extremely solemn. "I want revenge, but compared to revenge, I care more about your safety. Do you understand?"
"The Third Prince is no ordinary man. Even I might not be his match."
"Actually, that's why the old master is angry. He's afraid that he won't be able to protect you. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan cried even harder.
She choked with tears and asked, "Am I stupid enough to cause trouble for you?"
"Who said you're stupid?" Xie Mubai leaned over and gently kissed away the tears on her face. "Besides, you're my woman. If I don't take care of any trouble you cause, who will?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan felt warm in her heart.
Perhaps, she should go to the old tutor to apologize.
In response to Shen Wan's apology, the old tutor just sighed deeply.
"Forget it, forget it. If you like that little fox, go ahead and keep liking it." He leaned against the rattan chair and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm old too, and I can't protect you for much longer."
"But listen to my godfather's advice, and leave quickly."
"The Third Prince is very shrewd. I'm afraid it won't be long before he comes to his senses."
Since Harley Quinn likes it, just fulfill her wish.
As for whether her future life will be bitter or sweet, that is her own choice.
Calculating the time, Shen Wan felt that it was really time for her to leave.
At this rate, we may not be able to reach the Northwest by the Chinese New Year.
Before leaving, she left a full box of medicine for the old tutor.
There are quick-acting heart pills, plasters, and even cold medicines prepared.
"No, this is too expensive!" The old master looked at it and shook his head. "Just give me a bottle of that heart medicine, and I'll find someone to make some for me."
"Don't worry, that person is very reliable. He will definitely not reveal the prescription to anyone else."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Just keep it."
"If you've finished eating, write to me and I'll have someone bring it to you."
"I'll tell you something, these are all made by me, and they're not expensive."
After hearing this, the old tutor reluctantly agreed.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at Xie Mubai: "Take good care of my daughter!"
"If one day you get tired of her, don't hit her or scold her. Just send her back to me. I will support her for the rest of her life!"
Xie Mubai frowned, indicating that he didn't want to talk to him.
At this time, Hu Dahai and others also came over to join them.
What was strange was that there was a young woman with a cane in the crowd.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Chen Yan!
