Chapter 15 Curious
Ye Caiwei received a prize from the lady from a wealthy family, a large Dongzhu pearl, which was very valuable, but more importantly, it was everyone's recognition.
Ye Caiwei never thought that there would be a day when she would be so prominent, and Chen Wu never thought that there would be such an embarrassing moment. She bit her silver teeth hard.
After forcing herself to wait until the party was over, Chen Wu didn't want to stay any longer and got up to leave.
Sisters from the same house must go together, but when they were leaving, a maid came over and bowed to Shen Wanfu, "Second Miss Shen, someone wants you to talk by the bridge."
"Who wants to see me?" Shen Wan asked.
The maid shook her head.
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I’m not allowed to say it.
You won't even tell me who it is, and you still want to invite her to talk?
She only saw the person she was looking for.
Shen Wan ignored it.
The maid said, "Second Miss Shen..."
"Tell that person that if he really needs to see me, go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
Throwing down this sentence, Shen Wan left.
Ye Caiwei caught up with Shen Wan, "Cousin, aren't you curious about who is looking for you?"
Chen Wan said, "I have nothing to hide from others. If you want to see me, you can come to me openly and meet me in private. There will be no gossip that will damage the reputation of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
After leaving Princess Shunyang's mansion, the three of them left in a carriage.
Ye Caiwei kept the lucky charms in her hand, and Shen Wu was already burning with jealousy. Shen Wan added fuel to the fire and praised Ye Caiwei, "Thanks to my cousin, otherwise our Dingguo Mansion would be humiliated. When we return home, I will definitely ask for a reward from my grandmother on your behalf."
Chen Wu was so angry that her nails dug into her flesh and her face turned green with anger.
Ye Caiwei said, "My cousin is too polite. We are family. It is my duty to bring honor to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
"That's what my cousin said."
Chen Wu closed her eyes and wished she could cover her ears as well. Thinking of those mocking eyes, Chen Wu wanted to know who had caused her to lose face.
Let her lose face in front of others.
If she finds out, she will be made to suffer a fate worse than death!
The carriage returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and Shen Wan got out of the carriage. Yun Yan rode over and called out, "Cousin."
Chen Wu has already entered the mansion, and Ye Caiwei wants to greet Yun Yan. After all, she is wearing the Yun family's floating brocade, so she has to give him some face.
Shen Wan said, "Cousin, please go into the mansion first. I want to talk to my cousin."
Shen Wan walked towards Yun Yan.
"cousin."
The two of them went to the side to talk.
Yun Yan came to find Chen Wan because of something Chen Wan had asked him to help investigate.
After investigating for so many days, Yun Yan was sure that the Prince of Yongqing and Xu Zhiyi were having an affair, but it was very difficult to catch them. Either Xu Zhiyi went to the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion, or the Prince of Yongqing went to the Xu Mansion. They only went out to meet secretly once. By the time Yun Yan received the news and rushed to catch them, they had already left.
Only if the two of them go out together and rush over immediately can they be caught in the act.
Even if someone was sent to inform them, they might not arrive in time, so Yun Yan brought a carrier pigeon.
"If you have any problems from now on, just send a letter to me by carrier pigeon."
Shen Wan nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, cousin."
Yun Yan was very busy, so he left without even entering the mansion.
When Shen Wan went to Shou'an Hall, Ye Caiwei presented the Dadong Pearl to the old lady. The old lady was very happy, but she didn't want it. "Grandmother is satisfied with your filial piety. Keep it for yourself and use it as a dowry in the future."
Shen Wan walked in, "Grandmother, please reward my cousin well. It's not easy for my cousin to win the first prize among so many ladies from wealthy families. It really brings honor to our Duke Dingguo Mansion."
The old lady was happy and gave the jade bracelet on her wrist to Ye Caiwei.
Ye Caiwei was flattered.
Shen Wan still felt it was not enough, "Grandmother's reward is not as much as the prize given by Princess Shunyang's Mansion."
The old lady smiled, not at all angry, and said, "And bring me the pair of peony gold hairpins in my dressing box."
Having won the prize and received so many rewards, Ye Caiwei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
When some people are happy, some people are unhappy.
Ye Caiwei and Chen Wan didn't mention the fact that Shen Wu was exposed for her fraud in Princess Shunyang's mansion. It was something that was destined to be known to everyone and could not be hidden from the old lady. There was no need to add insult to injury and bring hatred upon herself.
Look, in less than half an hour, the old lady found out. Chen Wu had brought shame to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. If she was not severely punished, the family rules would become a mere decoration.
The old lady scolded Shen Wu and punished her to go to the Buddhist temple to copy the family rules and reflect on her mistakes.
Shen Wu felt extremely aggrieved, but the Second Madam didn't dare to plead for her daughter.
After leaving Shou'an Hall with anger suppressed, the Second Madam asked Chen Wu, "Who knows about that poem?"
Chen Wu said, "In my father's hands, I don't know who has seen it. Only the magpie around me has seen it."
After a pause, Shen Wu said, "And Ye Caiwei!"
"That day she went to visit her daughter and saw the poem she had left on the desk. She picked it up and read it. Her daughter snatched it back just in time. I'm not sure if she read it clearly..."
It's impossible to remember something even if you saw it in such a short time.
But Xi Que is loyal to Shen Wu, and Shen Wu doesn't believe she would do anything to betray her.
But the same cannot be said for Ye Caiwei.
The Second Madam's eyes were fierce, "If she dares to step on you to gain fame, I will never forgive her!"
