Chapter 139 Fierce Battle
"Chen Ping!"
Xie Jingyu shouted, and Chen Ping jumped through the window into the house, caught the snake, and jumped out of the window again.
Shen Wan was still hiding in Xie Jingyu's arms, and Xie Jingyu comforted her, "It's okay now."
His voice was as mellow as ever, but with a slight tremor that he himself didn't even notice.
He didn't dare to think that if he hadn't come and hadn't keenly noticed the unusual movement in the food box and taken timely precautions, Shen Wan would have most likely died in the snake's mouth.
Even Xie Jingyu was scared, not to mention Chen Wan. When she got down from Xie Jingyu's arms, her legs felt weak.
She knew that those people were cruel and ruthless, but she didn't expect them to be so cruel. Just because she didn't follow their wishes and ruined the plans of Queen Song and King Cheng, they wanted to put her to death.
She hid the poisonous snake in the cakes that the Yun family sent her, and someone came in time to send Shanhu away, leaving her alone in the room. There was no way she wouldn't try her favorite cakes that the Yun family sent her. If Xie Jingyu hadn't been there, she would have surely died.
He practically came and saved her life.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She couldn't swallow this vengeance!
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "Ask your people to help me throw the poisonous snake to the second room."
"good."
Xie Jingyu's eyes showed pity. "Sit down and have a cup of tea to calm your nerves. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and see you."
Shen Wan shook his head, “I’m not that timid.”
But the hand holding the teacup was shaking. Normally, someone whose hair would stand on end at the sight of insects was almost bitten by a snake, so how could he not be frightened?
She held the teacup in both hands and sipped it one sip after another. Xie Jingyu did not leave but stayed with her.
Shanhu was sitting on the corridor outside the house. She looked inside several times, but the girl didn't call her for a long time. She didn't know whether the Prince of Jingbei had left.
Although her wedding was imminent and the marriage was granted by the emperor, she was not married after all. If people knew that the Prince of Jingbei was in her boudoir, her reputation would be ruined.
Coral pricked up her ears, but didn't hear any extra noise in the house. However, she didn't dare push the door open, so she could only patiently guard outside the door to prevent anyone from breaking in.
After a long time, Shen Wan felt less scared and looked at Xie Jingyu, "You haven't told me why you came to see me?"
She didn't believe that Xie Jingyu would come to Duke Dingguo's Mansion to find her for no reason.
Xie Jingyu said, "I'm worried about you staying at Duke Dingguo's mansion. Anyway, the wedding invitations haven't been sent out yet, so let's move up the wedding date."
Half an hour ago, if Chen Wan heard this, she would definitely refute it. Dingguo Mansion is where she grew up. She is not at ease staying in Dingguo Mansion. Where else can she feel at ease?
But the snake venom was delivered into her boudoir and almost took her life. This happened in the Duke Dingguo's mansion, and she had no words to refute.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "If a war breaks out at the border, will you go to the border?"
This is nonsense. In his previous life, Xie Jingyu missed his beloved because he was in mourning and went to the border, which made him regret it for the rest of his life. There was a war at the border, and as the prince of Jingbei, how could he not go to the border?
Not only Xie Jingyu is going, but eldest brother will also go.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Why do you ask?"
Shen Wan said, "I know that the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion is not that safe, but this is where I grew up. If a war breaks out at the border and you want to go to the border, I would still prefer to stay at the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "What do you mean?"
Chen Wan said, "If there's a war at the border before the invitations are sent out, we can postpone the wedding. I'll marry you when you return from the border..."
...Why does it sound like there will definitely be a war at the border?
Xie Jingyu laughed and said, "Are you afraid that I will die on the battlefield?"
Shen Wanmiao glared, “You won’t die on the battlefield!”
Xie Jingyu said, "If there's a real war at the border, I'll have to marry you before I go to war. I don't want to be poached by someone else when I come back."
Shen Wan couldn't refute this.
Since King Cheng married Shen Ti, it would be easier for him to take advantage of her.
Why does she live such a miserable life?
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shanhu pushed it open and came in, "Miss, the kitchen has delivered the food, it's time for lunch."
I was scared to death just now, how could I eat?
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll have lunch with you."
He really dared to think so, Shen Wan went over and pushed him, “Thank you for saving my life again, you should go back.”
It was already wrong to let him into her boudoir, and now she wanted to invite him to have dinner, so she might as well let him stay.
Chen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu towards the window. Shanhu looked confused. When did the Prince of Jingbei save the girl's life again? How come she didn't know?
Xie Jingyu was pushed to the window, and then there was another person next to the window. Chen Ping said, "I have already thrown the snake to the second room as ordered. However, on the way back just now, I ran into the fourth young lady and the second young master in the bamboo forest of the second room... fighting fiercely..."
Shanhu was bewildered. "Can the Fourth Young Madam really beat the Second Young Master?"
Chen Ping, “…”
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
This fierce battle is not that fierce battle, okay?
Shen Wan held his forehead.
She didn't want to admit that such a silly maid was hers.
Coral realized it later, her face turned red, and she wished she could crawl into the ground.
It was only a matter of time before Qu Yan and Shen Xun hooked up, but no one expected Shen Xun to succeed so quickly. He was even having a secret affair in the bamboo forest. Although that place was hidden, there were many people passing by. Wasn't he afraid of being caught?
Shen Wan felt extremely ashamed that she had been plotted against and that Xie Jingyu had known about the dirty deeds in the mansion.
She actually lived under the same roof with these shameless people!
There was a war at the border, and my father was the first to go. Before he left, I had to let him separate the second and fourth rooms. Otherwise, by the time he came back from the border, the reputation of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would have been ruined by them.
Chen Wan said to Xie Jingyu, "I will embroider the purse today and have someone send it to you."
"I'll get it myself."
The person who just refused to leave, threw down these words, jumped out the window and left, not giving Shen Wan a chance to refuse at all.
Shen Wan just watched Xie Jingyu disappear from her sight. Turning back, Shanhu had already walked to the small couch and was about to bring out the pastries. Shen Wan quickly stopped her, "Don't move."
Coral was startled.
Shen Wan said, "The cakes are poisonous, take them and bury them."
Shanhu was shocked. "This is a pastry sent by the Yun family. How could it be poisonous?"
The Yun family loves the girl the most, and would never poison the girl even if it meant poisoning themselves.
Shen Wan said, “After the cakes were brought into the house, something was added to them, so the maid was asked to come in and clean the small couch a few more times.”
Coral went down to give orders.
While the maid was wiping the small couch, Yinchuan ran in quickly and said, "Miss, something happened in the second room..."
Before Shen Wan could speak, Shanhu asked, "What happened to the second house?"
Yinchuan swallowed her saliva and said, "The Second Madam and the Third Miss were having lunch. Just as they sat down at the table, a green snake fell from the beam and landed in the chicken soup. It almost frightened the Second Madam and the Third Miss to death.
The Second Madam hurriedly stood up and tripped over the Third Madam, falling forward onto the small couch and fainting. The Second House was in chaos..."
