Chapter 101 Colored Porcelain
Qu Yan sat down and said with a smile, "Before I married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, I was always worried about the unpleasantness in the Jade Pavilion and that the Second Young Lady would have a problem with me. I was worrying too much."
If you are afraid of others' opinions, you won't take your anger out on others.
Shen Wan smiled faintly, “Fourth sister-in-law doesn’t know my temper, you will know it after you get along for a long time.”
Shanhu served tea, Qu Yan picked up the teacup and took two sips, her eyes looking around Chen Wan's room imperceptibly.
Putting down the teacup, Qu Yan walked towards the antique shelf and picked up the red jade bottle. "This red jade bottle is really exquisite."
Shen Wan chuckled, "It's a fake. If Fourth Sister-in-law likes it, take it away."
Qu Yan was stunned. She didn't expect that such a beautiful red jade bottle was actually a fake.
She put the ruby vase back and picked up the colorful porcelain peony vase next to it.
Shen Wan didn't say anything.
Qu Yan said, "I guess this one is also a fake. I actually like it."
The smile on Shen Wan's face froze for a moment, but soon recovered, "This is my favorite, but since Fourth Sister-in-law likes it so much, just take it away."
Most people would not steal someone's beloved one if they heard that person was their favorite. But since Chen Wanyue said that was his favorite, Qu Yan insisted on having him.
Qu Yan smiled and said, "Second Miss is so generous, I won't be polite to you."
Although she didn't make Shen Wan so angry that she jumped up and down, she got the upper hand, so Qu Yan finally left satisfied.
Watching her leave triumphantly, Shanhu wanted to laugh. "I've never seen anyone with such poor taste. She's taken a fancy to the only fake on the antique shelf..."
Chen Wan is the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, and her maternal family is wealthy enough to rival a country. How could she have worthless fakes in her boudoir? That would be too embarrassing.
It was just the place where the colored porcelain vase was placed, and Chen Wan accidentally bumped into it twice, breaking things and feeling terribly sad.
There is no other way but to put away a fake that I wouldn’t mind if it fell.
But even if it is a fake, it is still worth a few taels of silver.
When Chen Xun accompanies Qu Yan back home tomorrow, if anyone dares to provoke her again, she will never show mercy.
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan went to Shou'an Hall. After Shen Xun and Qu Yan paid their respects to the old lady, they went to Shangshu Qu's residence.
As soon as they left, Chen Wu said, "Second sister is so kind to fourth sister-in-law. She broke your jade belt and purple robe, but you weren't angry. You even gave her such a beautiful colored porcelain. Even grandma didn't give her that."
Shen Wan looked at Shen Wu, "Fourth sister-in-law just came in, and it wasn't intentional, how could I be angry? As for the colored porcelain given, didn't Fourth sister-in-law tell you that it was a fake?"
Chen Wu asked, "You gave Fourth Sister-in-law something, and it was a fake?"
Shen Wan looked like she didn't want to talk about this topic, and her tone was a little impatient, "Fourth sister-in-law knew it was a fake, but she still thought it was beautiful and wanted it, so I gave it to her."
Chen Wu said, "Such a beautiful fake, I want one too..."
"I want one too," Shen Yao agreed.
Shen Wan said, "If you want it, it's not that easy. Just go out and buy it. Fakes are not worth much."
Even if it was a fake, she wouldn't give it to him.
Giving a fake gift is not good at all. If you use that money to reward a maid, she will be happy for half a month.
Chen Wu and the others didn't believe it was a fake at all. As sisters from the same mansion, how could they not understand Chen Wan? They believed that Chen Wan had the colored porcelain peony vase taken away by Qu Yan, and she was unhappy in her heart, so she insisted that it was a fake.
The maid came in and reported to Yun, "Madam, the carriage is ready."
The fourth lady asked, "Sister-in-law is going out?"
Yun said, "I'm going to Huguo Temple to ask Taoist Qingyuan for the wedding date for Yu'er and the Prince of Zhaoping, as well as the auspicious date for Wan'er and the Prince of Jingbei."
"Shouldn't the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion choose the date and the Dingguo Duke's Mansion finalize it?" said the Fourth Lady.
Yun said, "Although the Duke agreed to let Yu'er marry first, Wan'er must be married before the eighth day of next month. Time is too short and there may not be an auspicious time. We must prioritize Wan'er. Since she's gone, let's also consider Yu'er and the Prince of Zhaoping. The Lady of Zhaoping will also go."
Shen Wan, Shen Yu and Yun went to Huguo Temple together.
When they arrived, the Prince of Zhaoping and his wife were already waiting there.
Chen Yu and Chen Wan paid their respects to the wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping, and the prince of Zhaoping paid his respects to Yun.
There were still people queuing in front of the Taoist's fortune-telling stall, but the line had already reached the Zhaoping Marquis's residence. However, Yun had not come, so the people behind were allowed to go first.
The Taoist priest first calculated the date for Chen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping, saying, "The sixteenth of this month is an excellent date. They will surely grow old together, have many children and grandchildren, and have a smooth life."
Chen Yu was thin-skinned and ran away as soon as she heard this. The Prince of Zhaoping chased after her.
Lady Zhaoping said happily, "Thank you for your kind words, Master."
Yun handed the birth dates of Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu to the Taoist priest, who said, "The birth dates of these two are invaluable. They are truly a match made in heaven and earth. There's no need to pick a date. You can get married any day. If I let this Taoist choose, the eighth day of next month would be the icing on the cake."
Pretty good.
While Yun Shi wasn't paying attention, Shen Wan quietly gave the Taoist a thumbs up.
Yun had always believed in the Taoist priest, so he breathed a sigh of relief and presented the fortune-telling money.
Yun and Lady Zhaoping went to burn incense, but Chen Wan didn't follow them. She took a few golden peanuts and placed them on the divination table. "Thank you very much."
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so righteous. I can't be vague about it."
Shen Wan was bewildered, "Great justice?"
Why did this Taoist suddenly praise her?
The Taoist said, "Young lady, you helped me vent my anger by giving the Jingbei prince a laxative. I will remember this."
Shen Wan, “…???”
She didn't give Xie Jingyu a laxative.
etc.
What does it mean to let him vent his anger?
Shen Wan reacted and raised her voice, "It was the Prince of Jingbei who threatened you, saying that if I don't marry within three months, there will be bloody disaster?!"
Leaving the fortune-telling stall, Chen Wan walked up the stairs, his steps heavy, as if he was not stepping on stairs, but on some bastard.
Shen Wan was about to go crazy.
She always wanted to know who was the bastard who threatened the Taoist priest and forced her to get married, but she never dreamed that it was Xie Jingyu.
Did she provoke him to cheat her like this?!
He cheated her and then lent him the position of Crown Prince's Consort. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?!
If Xie Jingyu was there, she would definitely go up and strangle him, strangling this evildoer to death and enforcing justice.
Glancing at the quack doctor, Shen Wan decisively ordered Shanhu, "Go buy some laxatives and various poisons."
Such a trick on her.
She and Xie Jingyu are sworn enemies!
Shen Wan's face was filled with anger, and it was obvious that she was going to buy poison to use on Xie Jingyu. Shanhu didn't dare to do that, but before she could speak, Shen Wan glanced at her and said, "Go quickly."
Coral didn't dare to disobey and quickly walked towards the quack doctor.
Shen Wanqi held onto the steps and gasped for breath.
Yun came out of the main hall and saw that Shen Wan looked unhappy and covered her heart. She hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Shen Wan shook her head repeatedly, "Mom, I'm fine, I was just caught in the wind."
What does it mean to be fooled by the wind?
Yun Shi didn't understand, but when she saw Shen Wan's complexion recovered and didn't look like anything was wrong, she felt relieved.
