Chapter 148 Shame and Anger
Yun held Chen Wan's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the jade pendant. She said, "When you were young, you fell into the water. The doctors and the imperial physicians said you would be hard to raise. A traveling doctor gave you this half of the jade pendant as a talisman. Your mother and father both believed that you would grow up safely. It was this half of the jade pendant that was protecting you, so they decided to let you wear it when you got married."
"The whereabouts of the remaining half of this jade pendant are unknown. I don't know if it can be found..."
At the end of the conversation, Yun's voice choked with sobs. She touched Shen Wan's face and said, "Although only half of this jade pendant is left, you must keep it well and don't lose it."
Her illness was cured because the Yun family spared no expense in finding a famous doctor and fed her all kinds of rare medicinal herbs for free. No one knew which doctor or which prescription cured her.
I have never heard of any traveling doctor giving out any amulets before. Besides, if it is an amulet, she should carry it with her. There is no reason to put it away.
It's hard for her parents to come up with such a lame excuse because they were afraid she would ask more questions.
Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Shen Wan recalled what Shen Wu had told her in her previous life, that she was not her parents' biological child...
If this is true, then this jade pendant should be a relic of her biological parents, but why is there only half of it? Where is the other half?
Shen Wan wanted to ask whether she was her parents' biological child, but she didn't dare to ask, fearing that the result would not be what she wanted, and she was also afraid of hurting Yun and Shen Ji's feelings.
They treated her so well, why should she take Shen Wu's words seriously? Shen Wan said, "Mother knows that I have always been careless. Such an important jade pendant, mother should keep it for me."
Chen Wan stuffed the jade pendant into Yun Shi's hand. Yun Shi held Chen Wan's hand and said, "Mother can't keep it for you forever, so just keep it safe. Even if you meet someone with dirty hands, they won't steal half of your jade pendant."
But it was given to her at the end of her previous life, why was it given to her in advance in this life? Shen Wan found it strange.
Yun touched Shen Wan's head, her eyes full of reluctance, "Mother hopes that you can live a peaceful and smooth life."
Shen Wan held Yun's arm and clung to her tightly.
Why do I have to get married? It would be great if I could stay with my parents forever.
Yun and Shen Wan talked for a long time. Then Mother Chen came in and said, "Madam, the young lady has to get up early tomorrow. Let her go to bed early."
Yun wiped away her tears and looked at the brocade box she had brought on the table. She said, "You can take a look at the contents of the brocade box later. It doesn't matter if you don't know what it is. Just listen to Prince Jingbei when the time comes."
Shen Wan tried hard not to blush and nodded repeatedly.
Yun took Mother Chen away.
After they left, the little maid brought hot water into the house, and Shen Wan took a hot bath. When she finished and was ready to go to bed, the brocade box on the table was placed on her bed.
Shen Wan said, “Take it down and put it away.”
Shanhu said, "Mother Chen told us to let the young lady see it, so the servants will go down."
Fearing that Shen Wan would insist on them taking it off, Shanhu and Yinchuan quickly ran away.
Chen Wanxin was very tired, and she and Xie Jingyu had no use for her. Besides, she had given birth to a child in her previous life, so how could she not know how to consummate the marriage?
Chen Wan clearly didn't need it, but she couldn't help being curious. She had never seen what a Chun Gong Tu looked like in her life, only a living one.
There was no one else in the room, and her mother asked her to look, so it was okay for her to take a look.
Then--
Chen Wan did the most shameful and humiliating thing in his life.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the brocade box, placed it on her thighs, and opened it.
There are two picture albums on the top of the brocade box and porcelain at the bottom, which is so exquisite that it makes people blush.
Shen Wan flipped through the album, but after she had read a few pages, there was another person in the room.
The maid left in a hurry and didn't close the window, so Xie Jingyu jumped in directly. After walking a few steps, Shen Wan didn't notice him, so he said, "What are you looking at?"
Shen Wan was already acting like a thief, and when Xie Jingyu's voice suddenly came, Shen Wan was almost scared to death.
Afraid that Xie Jingyu would see her looking at the Chun Gong Tu, she quickly hid the book behind her, but forgot that the brocade box was still on her thigh. As she hid it, the brocade box fell to the ground, and the porcelain figures inside fell to the ground.
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Xie Jingyu, “……!!!”
real.
Chen Wan wished he could just die at this moment.
Shanhu and Yinchuan were standing guard outside the door. When they heard the noise in the house, Shanhu asked, "What happened to the girl?"
Shanhu pushed the door open and tried to come in, but Shen Wan hurriedly said, "Don't come in!"
The door was opened a crack, and upon hearing this, Coral closed the door again.
The Prince of Jingbei sent secret guards to protect the Princess. There was no need to worry about anything happening. It was probably because the girl was clumsy and knocked something over. When she called them, they would go in and clean it up.
Shen Wan’s face flushed red, and she felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her face, and her face was about to explode.
Don't look at the indecent things on the ground, Xie Jingyu's face was not much better.
Shen Wan was so embarrassed that she stamped her feet, "Why don't you leave quickly!"
Shen Wan wanted to push him away, but as soon as she moved her feet, a porcelain figure was kicked to the feet of Xie Jingyu.
Shen Wan really didn't want to live anymore. Why did she encounter such an embarrassing thing? She was going to marry into the Jingbei Palace tomorrow. Who asked this bastard to come to her so late at night?
Although they were married by imperial decree, this was an accident. They would still follow their previous agreement and find a way to divorce. They would not consummate their marriage. But she saw this the night before her wedding. God knows if he would misunderstand that she was trying to make her fake play real...
Xie Jingyu clenched his fist and coughed twice. Chen Wan looked hopeless, "Are you here to break off the engagement? It must be!"
She actually thought of coming to her room late at night to break off the engagement.
Knowing that Shen Wan was thin-skinned, Xie Jingyu said, “I can’t sleep, so I came to see if you slept.”
Shen Wan, “…”
Is this what you came for?
There was murderous intent in Shen Wan's eyes, and he wanted to kick the man away.
His face was burning, he was still breathing, but it felt like he had been dead for a while. Shen Wan bent down and tried to pick up the porcelain figure that had fallen to the ground.
But before his hand touched it, Xie Jingyu grabbed it and said, "Be careful not to cut your hand. I'll do it."
Xie Jingyu picked up the porcelain figure and put it in the brocade box. Shen Wan suspected that this bastard would not stop until he embarrassed her to death. Couldn't he just leave and let her stay quiet for a while?
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu with a numb face. Seeing Xie Jingyu's two ears red, he said after picking up the items, "Go to bed early tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"...Can you not come?" Shen Wan whispered.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What did you say?"
Shen Wan said, "I told you to be careful when you go back, don't get caught by the City Patrol."
Xie Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I feel like you hope I'll be arrested by the City Patrol?"
The day before the wedding, he was caught by the city patrol on his way back from looking for the bride, so he was unable to go to the wedding. If this matter were to spread, I wonder how many people would laugh their heads off.
That's what Shen Wan hoped for. There was a curfew on the street, but he was still running around. It was only right that he should be arrested by the city patrol and thrown into jail. But after being exposed, she felt a little guilty. She pushed Xie Jingyu to the window and said, "Go away!"
Xie Jingyu pointed to his face.
Chen Wan had a bad temper and wanted to slap him, but just as she was about to raise her hand, she was startled and Chen Ping suddenly appeared outside the window.
Sooner or later she will be scared to death!
Chen Ping said, "Master and Consort, a maid just buried something under a tree..."
Shen Wan frowned, "Buried what?"
"Chen An went to dig."
