Chapter 155 Habit
After paying respects to the old lady, I will pay respects to Prince Jingbei and Princess Jingbei.
The gift that Prince Jingbei gave to Chen Wan was a jade ruyi, and the gift that Princess Jingbei gave to Chen Wan was a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.
King Jingbei commands a large army and is decisive in killing people, needless to say.
Princess Jingbei is extremely beautiful. She was able to give birth to such an enchanting son like Xie Jingyu. It is obvious that her appearance cannot be bad. However, like the Yun family, Princess Jingbei's identity is also criticized.
The Yun family came from a merchant family, and the Princess of Jingbei married the Prince of Jingbei as an adopted daughter instead of a legitimate daughter.
After toasting to the prince and princess, it was then Concubine Wen.
Although she was a concubine, her status was somewhat special.
Concubine Wen's father was a general under the old prince. The old prince was bitten by a poisonous snake. In order to save the old prince's life, General Wen sucked the poisonous blood for the old prince. Unfortunately, he was poisoned by the snake and died. Knowing that his daughter admired the prince, she hoped that the prince would marry his daughter before she died. The old prince agreed, thinking it was a case of the son paying off his father's debt.
Concubine Wen gave Chen Wan a set of exquisite jewelry as a gift.
"Thank you, Concubine."
After paying respects to Concubine Wen, we pay our respects to the Second Master and the Second Mistress.
The second and third wives of the Prince of Jingbei's Mansion were both born to the old lady, and the fourth wife was born out of wedlock.
In terms of her natal family, the second wife's natal family is the most powerful. She is the daughter of General Huaihua and the cousin of Prince Qing.
The second lady gave Chen Wan two large Dong pearls as a gift.
The third wife gave a pair of gold bracelets.
The fourth lady gave a pair of jade hairpins.
The gift of meeting is really not small.
Everyone was smiling and praising Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu highly, unlike the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, where the Second Madam and others spoke with hidden ulterior motives and were sarcastic.
They seemed to like Xie Jingyu from the bottom of their hearts, and they loved her as well as her family.
But could Shen Wan say that she did not feel relieved at all? Instead, she felt terrified and her hair stood on end.
Nothing else——
In the previous life, these people were later killed by Xie Jingyu.
The princess died at the birthday banquet of the Duke of Xingguo. Not long after her death, the prince went to the battlefield. Not long after, his old injuries relapsed. As a result, Xie Jingyu had to go to the border to fight during his mourning period. Later, on his way back to the capital, he was assassinated and fell off a cliff...
Later, Xie Jingyu rebelled. The Jingbei Palace was not implicated, but instead led troops to suppress Xie Jingyu. The second and third masters were killed on the battlefield. Xie Jingyu attacked the capital, and all the people in the Jingbei Palace were imprisoned. Except for the fourth branch, all were beheaded in public.
Not only were the fourth son of a concubine not killed, but Xie Jingyu also named the fifth young master Xie Jingxuan as Duke of the State.
It is said that the family of Prince Jingbei is harmonious, which is one of the reasons why her parents were willing to marry her to Xie Jingyu. But if it is really that good, why did Xie Jingyu kill them all?
Although Xie Jingyu humiliated her and scattered her ashes in his previous life, Xie Jingyu should not be a bloodthirsty person, otherwise he would not have so many followers, let alone keep Xie Jingxuan and make him a duke.
The viciousness and cruelty of those people in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion can be traced, but as for those people in the Jingbei Palace, can Shen Wan say that she didn't see at all that their love for Xie Jingyu was fake?
Shen Wan was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Xie Jingyu calling her twice. Xie Jingyu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Wan shook his head.
"Sister-in-law."
The second young master Xie Jingze and the eldest daughter Xie Zhihuan came forward to greet them.
Both of them were born to Concubine Wen.
Then came the second house, the third young master Xie Jingxi and the second young lady Xie Zhirou.
Next is the third room, with the fourth young master Xie Jingzhang and the third young lady Xie Zhiqing.
The fifth young master of the fourth room, Xie Jingxuan, and the fourth young lady, Xie Zhiyao.
In fact, Chen Wan recognized these people and had seen them many times at banquets of all sizes.
Shen Wanhui smiled.
The prince put down the teacup in his hand and said, "That's all for the tea ceremony. Everyone, please go."
He got up and left.
The princess said to Xie Jingyu, "The princess must be tired after getting married yesterday. Take her back and let her have a good rest."
Shen Wanfu bowed and left with Xie Jingyu.
After leaving Wing Chun Court, Xie Jingyu asked, "Are you tired?"
Shen Wan shook his head.
I was very tired yesterday, but after a good sleep I am no longer tired.
Xie Jingyu said, "I'll take you around so you can get familiar with the palace."
Shen Wan glanced around and saw that there was no one around. Shen Wan asked in a low voice, "Has your Jingbei Palace always been so harmonious?"
Xie Jingyu smiled and said, "Not used to it?"
“…I’m definitely not used to it.”
Xie Jingyu knew very well the filth inside the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so Shen Wan was no longer afraid of being embarrassed in front of him.
Besides, he almost wiped out his entire family in his previous life. The Jingbei Prince's Mansion and the Dingguo Duke's Mansion are just fifty steps apart. It's even unclear which one is more disgusting.
Shen Wan said, "Is there no one who covets your position as the crown prince and wants to replace you?"
Xie Jingyu laughed, "Who do you think can compete with me?"
All right.
No one can really compete.
But there are many people in the world who lack self-awareness, and Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is the best example.
The second master and the second young master are not even worthy of carrying shoes for her father and eldest brother, yet they still covet her. What’s even more infuriating is that they succeeded in their previous life.
The Jingbei Palace is such a huge fortune, don’t other people care about it at all?
Xie Jingyu held Shen Wan's hand and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Chen Wan said, "I'm just curious. Why do I see that the old lady and the others love you so much..."
Xie Jingyu said, "The old lady and the others really do love me very much."
...Then you killed them all in your previous life?
Shen Wan secretly complained in his heart.
Seeing that Shen Wan looked a little strange, Xie Jingyu said, "Isn't it good that they love me?"
Shen Wan said, "I really love you, of course it's okay."
Xie Jingyu said, "If you're not used to it, just keep your distance. Father doesn't like me getting close to them."
Shen Wan's eyes widened, "Why doesn't father like you getting close to them?"
Xie Jingyu said, "They're afraid that I'll be spoiled by them."
Could it be that they want to praise Xie Jingyu to death?
But if you can't praise someone to death, most people won't praise him.
However, King Jingbei did not allow Xie Jingyu to get close to them, so it would be better for her to stay away from these people in the future.
Xie Jingyu led Chen Wan forward. After walking for more than ten steps, Chen Wan broke free from Xie Jingyu's hand, took off the gold and jade bracelet given to her by the old lady, and stuffed it into Xie Jingyu's hand.
Xie Jingyu frowned, "The old lady gave it to you, what are you doing for me?"
Shen Wan said, “I dare not accept such a valuable bracelet.”
Xie Jingyu suddenly felt unhappy. This woman was thinking about divorce all the time. He said, "It's for you, just take it with peace of mind."
Shen Wan refused repeatedly, "I have broken countless bracelets since I was a child. What if I break it?"
"It's okay if it breaks."
Really easy to talk to.
Xie Jingyu wanted to put it on Chen Wan, but Chen Wan hid her hands behind her back and said, "Just keep it for me."
Xie Jingyu took a deep breath and said, "I want to hear the truth."
Shen Wan said, "The old lady wants me to wear it every day. If I wear it every day, then I can't wear other bracelets. I have two boxes of various bracelets waiting for me to favor them."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
"Just because of this?" Xie Jingyu held his forehead.
"What else?" Shen Wan asked back.
Although this bracelet was given by the old lady and was given by the old prince when he was young, Shen Wan didn’t believe that the old prince only gave the old lady this bracelet when he was young, but he said it this way to make it seem more precious and to value her more.
She was tired of such tricks in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and she didn't want to be bound by a bracelet.
But it was a gift from the old lady, who also told her to wear it every day. She had no choice but to listen to the old lady and pass it on to Xie Jingyu. Xie Jingyu was afraid that she would break it, so he kept it for her. No one could accuse her of turning a deaf ear to the old lady's words.
