Chapter 76: Kiss behind the Folding Fan
The tea room in the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty.
“Master Shen, I didn’t expect something like this to happen…” Jiang Qingrong described the scene he saw in Meiyuan in detail.
Jiang Wan's eyes were filled with tears. "Dad, I have brought disgrace upon our family. I can only die..."
"My poor Wanwan, how can your father bear it!" Jiang Qingrong sighed and looked at Master Shen:
"After this kind of accident, I should have let Wanwan commit suicide to preserve her reputation. But I really couldn't bear to do that... I could only have the audacity to come and discuss it with Master Shen."
Master Shen was shocked when he heard this. He came to his senses and said, "Master Jiang, what are you talking about? Wen Yuan should be responsible for this matter!"
"Dad, it's all my fault. I entered the Plum Garden by mistake and disturbed Third Miss Jiang. I am willing to marry Third Miss Jiang. I ask you to propose marriage for me!" Shen Wenyuan saw the drama between father and daughter and knew that the matter was settled, so he also started to act in front of Master Shen.
Master Shen was about to blame him, but seeing how responsible he was, he relaxed a little and looked at Jiang Wan:
"I wonder if you would be willing?"
Jiang Wan was overjoyed in her heart, but on the surface she was sobbing, "Everything is up to my father."
"Wenyuan, bring me paper and pen. I'll write a marriage contract." Master Shen said immediately.
He is a man of upright character.
Shen Wenyuan accidentally saw Jiang Wan...then he must marry her, otherwise, wouldn't that be forcing someone to die?
Shen Wenyuan responded respectfully, but he sneered in his heart.
Jiang Wan, you won't even live to see the day you marry me.
…
Chen Zheng.
The coming-of-age ceremony is approaching.
The maid invited all the guests to take their seats in the viewing area. Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi, as the guests of honor, sat in the first row.
Master Shen, Jiang Qingrong and others came together.
Looking at the full house.
Jiang Qingrong looked very proud: "Welcome everyone to attend my nephew's coming-of-age ceremony."
Jiang Wenxing was adopted by his eldest brother, so even though he was his own son, he could only call him nephew.
But the eldest brother died early, and the child has been raised by him...
There is no difference between him and his own son.
“Before the coming-of-age ceremony begins, our Jiang family has one more happy event to announce. My daughter Jiang Wan and Master Shen’s son Shen Wenyuan have got engaged today. You all will be witnesses.” Jiang Qingrong straightened his chest, his tone full of undisguised joy.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
"This Master Shen is really helping the Jiang family. With his current status, he even married into the Jiang family!"
"Shen Wenyuan was originally engaged to Jiang Rong, so the Shen family changed the marriage to Jiang Wan in order to continue to be relatives with the Jiang family? She is really lucky to have picked up such a big bargain!"
…
Jiang Wan had a proud look on her face, and looking at the envious and jealous eyes around her made her feel elated.
But she suddenly heard others talking about her picking up Jiang Rong's remaining ex-fiancé, which made her very angry!
She didn't pick this up! She married him based on her own ability!
The guests all around congratulated him.
Shen Wenyuan also had a gentle and kind smile on his face, standing with Jiang Wan, looking like a perfect couple.
The two sat down.
It was sitting right below Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi.
The ritual music began.
The crowning ceremony begins.
"Second sister, I'm really sorry..." Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Rong with a fake look of grievance and pity:
"You have been engaged to Brother Shen since you were young. We have been childhood sweethearts. I have always treated him as my brother-in-law. I never expected that... now, by some strange coincidence, I have become engaged to him. Second sister, you won't blame me, right?"
Everyone knows that Jiang Rong beat Shen Wenyuan several times and the two of them were not on good terms.
But Jiang Wan, who knew the inside story, was very clear that Jiang Rong must have done what he did to avoid suspicion.
She clearly had a deep relationship with Shen Wenyuan and was willing to elope.
Of course, in Jiang Wan's opinion, giving up the position of Prince Consort of the Northern King and eloping with Shen Wenyuan was really stupid!
But Jiang Rong did this, which must mean that she was deeply in love with Shen Wenyuan and would not marry anyone else.
But later she was caught after eloping and forced to become the Prince of the Northern Kingdom's consort.
The die is cast.
She had no choice but to avoid suspicion with Shen Wenyuan on the surface. Privately, the two might still be in contact.
Now, this person she had never wanted was about to become her husband.
Jiang Rong must be jealous of me, jealous to the point of bleeding!
When Jiang Wan thought of this, she felt very happy.
Shen Wenyuan is inferior to Xie Lingxi in every way, but he is the person Jiang Rong wants but cannot get. This is enough to make Jiang Wan very satisfied with this marriage.
"I am not familiar with Shen Wenyuan. If Shen Wenyuan was raised in the Jiang family, he would be considered a childhood sweetheart with the girl from the Jiang family. Then it would be more appropriate to replace me with you." Jiang Rong glanced at her and said calmly:
"You and Shen Wenyuan have been childhood sweethearts. Now you are going to get married, it is really a match made in heaven. The first day of next month is a very auspicious day. Why don't you consider getting married soon?"
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Rong cleared her of the rumored affair with just one sentence, and also made her and Shen Wenyuan unclear, as if they had been hooking up for a long time. It was really ugly!
But she believed that despite Jiang Rong's high-sounding words, he must be jealous to death!
Shen Wenyuan, who was standing at the side, immediately saw the silver bottle behind Jiang Rong.
It was the maid who led him to the plum garden.
The Jiang sisters are in collusion with each other, they have screwed me, and now I don't know what they are doing.
Get married soon?
Jiang Rong really spared no effort to help her sister marry him.
You wait.
I will definitely send your sister to see the King of Hell as soon as possible!
It was midsummer and the weather was hot.
Although there is no sun in the house, it is still quite hot.
Feicui brought a cold drink and placed it in front of Jiang Rong's desk.
This is a new bayberry ice cake developed by the chef of Beiwangfu.
Jiang Rong has been suffering from the hot summer recently and can't eat anything. The only thing she likes is this ice drink.
"The prince knows that you like it, so he specially asked me to keep it ready at all times." Feicui openly took credit for her master.
When I went out today, I put the ice drink in an ice container.
"It's getting hot this morning. Princess, please give me an ice drink to cool you down."
Jiang Rong looked at the bayberry bingsu in front of her, and looked at Xie Lingxi beside her with great joy.
Someone was still sitting lazily on the couch, as if he didn't care at all.
"Thank you, husband." Jiang Rong picked up the silver spoon, scooped a spoonful of icy and sweet bingsu, and handed it to Xie Lingxi:
"Eat with my husband!"
Xie Lingxi refused unnaturally, "I don't eat sweets."
Jiang Rong widened his eyes, took note of this carefully, and fed himself the icy treat in the silver spoon.
Then he picked up the broken jade paper fan in Xie Lingxi's hand and held it in front of the two of them, blocking everyone's view.
The delicate little face came closer and pecked him lightly on the lips, smiling:
"Then Rong'er, please give me a thank you gift. Husband, thank you."
The cherry lips that had just eaten the ice cream were originally cold. But the moment Xie Lingxi touched her lips, it was as if a fire was lit and they were burning.
