Chapter 144 Honored
Shen Wan's face was so red that blood could drip out.
Xie Jingyu did not deepen the kiss, but just lightly kissed her. After all, this was a bad posture, and Shen Wanshou had been hit by the board, so he could not exert his strength.
Shen Wan struggled a little, and he let her go.
Shen Wan sat back, glaring at him with a red face, "You!"
Xie Jingyu didn't say anything, just pointed at his face.
Chen Wan had a bad temper. Last time, she thought he was deliberately making fun of her and slapped him. This bastard just flirted with her and dared to do this. Shen Wan slapped him again in anger.
But this time he didn't hit her, his hand was grabbed by Xie Jingyu, Shen Wan was furious, "It hurts, it hurts, let me go!"
How could she be so delicate? She was in so much pain even though he didn't even use any strength.
Xie Jingyu let go of his hand, but the next second, Shen Wan was pulled into his arms, “Do you like slapping people so much?”
Shen Wan said angrily, “I only hit you!”
"...I feel honored by what you said," Xie Jingyu said with a smile.
It's over.
The crazy feeling from my previous life has returned.
It feels like this bastard is here to get beaten, but he doesn't want to be beaten. What does this guy want to do?
Shen Wan was about to ask when Shanhu knocked on the door and came in, "Miss, the lady is here."
Shen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu and said, "My mother is here, you should leave quickly."
Xie Jingyu didn't let go and didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
If you don't kiss him, he won't leave.
I've never seen such a shameless person. Will kissing him make me grow fat or something?
"Why are you guarding outside?"
Yun's voice came.
Shen Wan had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the face.
Xie Jingyu smiled and said, "That's about right."
If he didn't leave, Shen Wan was really going to hit him with a stick. Just before Yun came in, he dodged and jumped out the window.
The blush on Shen Wan's face had not faded. She reached out to touch her face, but for a moment she forgot that her palm had just been hit by the board, and it hurt so much that she gasped in pain. Yun walked in and said, "Why is your face so red?"
Shen Wan greeted a certain bastard in his heart and asked, “It’s almost lunch time, why did my mother come to my place?”
Yun said, "You received three blows from Madam Wu. Let me see your hands."
Shen Wan showed her palm to Yun Shi, which was red and swollen. Yun Shi felt extremely distressed. She and Shen Ji had never said a harsh word to Shen Wan, but she was actually beaten like this. "If your father saw this, he would be heartbroken."
Shen Wan said, "I applied the medicine, and when my father came back in the evening, the swelling had gone down."
Still in the mood to joke, Yun Shichen said angrily, "You've learned the rules well, why did you get beaten?"
Chen Wan went to learn the rules. Yun and the old lady sent people to watch. Yun knew that Nanny Wu was strict with the rules, but Chen Wan could learn them quickly. Even though he was beaten so severely, the hands of the third lady and the others would probably be broken.
Shanhu was about to complain to Yun when a maid came in and said, "Madam, the old lady wants you to go to her place."
If there is anything extremely urgent, she has to go find her mother during lunch time. Her mother is the wife of the Duke, not a maid that her old lady can order around at will.
Yun was also very annoyed, but she still stood up. Shen Wan wanted to go with her, but Yun said, "It's almost time for lunch, so don't go."
Shen Wan said, “I just ate two cakes, I’m not hungry.”
Yun didn't suspect anything, so Shen Wan went to Shou'an Hall with her.
As soon as she entered, the old lady scolded her, "You let Madam Wu go back to the palace alone?"
Yun said, "She was accompanied by a palace maid."
The old lady said, "Madame Wu was sent by Queen Song to teach Ti'er the rules. She was injured in our Duke Dingguo's mansion, and you let her return to the palace with injuries all over her face. Where do you put the Queen's reputation?!"
Yun said, "Madam Wu fell into the lotus pond while walking. My Dingguo Mansion has done nothing wrong. If she wants to return to the palace, can I do anything but agree to her request? Can I keep her in the Duke's Mansion?"
The old lady said, "She didn't fall into the lotus pond by accident!"
The old lady was shaking with anger.
Yun frowned, "It wasn't an accident?"
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak. Madam Sun glanced at Shen Wan and said, "Madam Wu fell into the lotus pond because someone hit her ankle."
The conspiracy against the second young lady ended up with the second wife and the third young lady being the ones who suffered. Nanny Wu beat the second young lady with three sticks, and something happened when they passed by the lotus pond. Nanny Sun suspected that both incidents were the work of Shen Wan.
Shen Wan asked, "How could it be an accident? Who said that Aunt Wu fell into the lotus pond because someone hit her ankle?"
"That's what Madam Wu said herself," said Madam Sun.
Shen Wan chuckled, "Did anyone see it?"
The old lady said, "Madame Wu wouldn't lie."
Of course she knew that what Nanny Wu said was true, but the truth could also become a lie.
Chen Wan said, "Today I was learning the rules. Someone pushed me and knocked over the teacup. I was spanked three times by Madam Wu. Madam Wu said she didn't see anyone pushing me. Even if someone did, I couldn't avoid it, so I can only blame myself for my bad luck."
"She fell into the lotus pond. Who saw her? She couldn't avoid it, so she could only blame herself for her bad luck."
Shen Wan returned all the words that Madam Wu had said.
The old lady said, "Madame Wu is Queen Song's confidante. It will be of no benefit to you to offend her."
She is not afraid of Queen Song and Prince Cheng, so how could she be afraid of a dog around them?
Shen Wan said, "Grandmother, I beg your pardon. Nanny Wu fell down by herself. How could anyone have offended her? You can't blame the uneven roads in our Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
Shen Wan's face was gentle, yet sharp and unyielding.
The old lady's face was icy as she directly instructed Yun, "Go to the palace tomorrow to apologize to Queen Song, bring some supplements to visit Nanny Wu, and bring her another 1,000 taels."
Yun was also fed up with the old lady's bossing around and said indifferently, "Madam Wu was injured in the Duke Dingguo's mansion after all, so I should prepare a visit gift, but a thousand taels is unnecessary. Wan'er is getting married soon, and I'm too busy to go to the palace. My second sister-in-law is ill in bed and won't be available, so you can let the fourth young lady go."
One thousand taels was not a lot, and Yun Shi did not take it seriously, but she did not like the old lady's attempt to curry favor with the powerful, belittle the eldest branch of the family, and try her best to use the public money to pave the way for the fourth young lady. Her selfish motives were clearly shown on her face, and she even used the excuse of being afraid that Chen Wan would offend Queen Song.
Even if he hasn't offended Wan'er, he is plotting against her and wants to kill her. Can giving her a thousand taels of silver help to avoid disaster?
Since you can't do that, why should you be so humble and lose your backbone?
The old lady clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand, almost gasping for breath. The fourth lady quickly helped her calm down and said to Yun, "What is this, sister-in-law? The old lady is doing this for the good of the second young lady and our Dingguo Mansion. It's only a thousand taels, and we can save a little. If you make the old lady so angry, will the second young lady ever get married?"
She really knows how to use filial piety to put pressure on her mother.
Chen Wan sneered, "It's a shame that they say my father holds military power and is deeply trusted by the Emperor. A maid falling down in our Dingguo Mansion is treated as a major event. When did our Dingguo Mansion become so weak and vulnerable?"
"Mother, please don't disobey Grandmother. I'll go to the palace again tomorrow. When father returns, you can ask him what he thinks."
The Yun family couldn't bear the reputation of an old lady with a bad temper, so Shen Wan directly pushed it to Shen Ji.
Yun said, "Then I'll listen to the Duke."
