Chapter 158 Worry
Shen Wan woke up in Xie Jingyu's arms again.
After yesterday's experience, Chen Wan was not so surprised. However, this time Xie Jingyu did not pretend to be asleep, but Chen Wan thought it was better for him to pretend to be asleep. He opened his eyes and their eyes met. The atmosphere was ambiguous and awkward.
Shen Wan just woke up, his eyes still bleary, and Shanhu's voice came from outside the door, "Have the Crown Prince and Crown Princess woken up yet?"
"Come in."
Shen Wan responded.
But when the door opened, the first person to come in was not Shanhu and Yinchuan, but Mother Xu.
The moment she saw Mother Xu, Shen Wan was dumbfounded. The mat on the floor was still there and had not been cleaned up yet!
Seeing the messy floor, Mother Xu was also confused.
Shanhu and Yinchuan followed in and asked, "Why, why is there a floor mat..."
Shen Wan's face flushed red.
She couldn't explain sleeping on the floor. It just didn't make sense for newlyweds to sleep on the floor.
I was still confused after just waking up and forgot about the bed on the floor. It would have been fine if only Shanhu and Yinchuan were coming in, but why did Mother Xu come in first?
He didn't get to sleep on the floor, and he still had to explain. Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu said, "Put up the mat."
His tone was normal and he didn't take sleeping on the floor seriously at all.
Mother Xu looked at the bed and saw only a quilt and a pillow. There was also a pillow on the floor. Mother Xu remembered that she had passed by last night and heard no movement in the room. Maybe they were afraid that the noise would be too loud...
Mother Xu didn't think that the two of them slept in separate beds. In fact, they didn't sleep in separate beds. The Crown Prince's wife was chosen by the Crown Prince himself, and the marriage was granted by the Emperor. The Emperor even came to the mansion to watch the ceremony and drink the wedding wine. It was impossible for the Crown Prince to sleep on the floor, and it was even more impossible for the Crown Princess to sleep on the floor. If the Duke Dingguo and the Duke Dingguo's son knew about this, they would beat their Crown Prince half to death.
Shen Wan changed the subject, “What’s wrong with Mother Xu?”
Mother Xu held a gift list in her hand and said, "Today is the day when the Crown Prince's wife returns home. The princess has prepared a return gift. Crown Prince's wife, please take a look and see if there is anything missing."
Just look at the gift list, no need to come to her so early.
Shen Wan got off the bed, took the gift list and took a look. There were quite a few things prepared. Shen Wan said, "That's it."
Mother Xu took the gift list and left.
Shanhu and Yinchuan put away the mat and asked Chen Wan in a low voice, "Who slept on the mat last night, the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince?"
Shen Wan said, "I haven't slept yet."
...is this just for fun?
Shanhu didn't dare to ask any more questions and served Shen Wan to wash up. Shen Wan sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her pile of beautiful jade bracelets, and silently picked up the gold bracelet that the old lady had given her to make her pregnant.
The people from Duke Dingguo's Mansion burned incense for her to make her infertile, and the Prince Jingbei's Mansion gave her a jade bracelet that made her infertile...
When Shen Wan thought of the two children in her previous life, her heart ached for a moment.
After being reborn for so long, Shen Wan thought about her past life many times, but she didn't dare to think about her two children.
She would not let herself repeat the mistakes of her previous life. She didn't even know who the father of her previous life's child was. Now she was married to Xie Jingyu. Even if she gave birth to another child, it would not be them.
Whenever she thought of the two children, Shen Wan's nose would become sore and her eyes would turn red. She forced herself not to think about them, but Shanhu noticed her sobbing, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess?"
Shen Wan shook his head, "I'm fine..."
Xie Jingyu came in and just heard Shen Wan's crying voice. Seeing Shen Wan holding the gold bracelet, he thought Shen Wan was unwilling to wear it, so he said, "If you don't want to wear it, then don't wear it."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Wan put the gold bracelet on his wrist.
Although she probably won't have children in this life, she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
After finishing her makeup, Shen Wan sat down to have breakfast with Xie Jingyu, and then went to Wing Chun Temple together.
The old lady saw them go in, or to be more precise, saw Xie Jingyu come to pay his respects to her, and she was very happy. However, Xie Jingyu went with Chen Wan, and the smile on the old lady's face faded a little. Only when she saw the gold bracelet she had given her on Chen Wan's wrist did her smile return.
Shen Wanfu bowed to the old lady and the old lady smiled and said, "Please sit down."
Shen Wan was about to sit down when Xie Jingyu grabbed her hand and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are still waiting, so we will go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion first."
The Second Madam said, "Even if you're accompanying the Crown Princess back home, there's no need to go so early."
These people really made things difficult for her. They drugged her, plotted against her, and even delayed her when she returned home.
Fortunately, the princess was protective and said, "It's better to go early when you're visiting your parents for the first time."
Then Xie Jingyu took Shen Wan away directly.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage was already waiting there. Xie Jingyu helped Chen get on the carriage, and then got on himself.
Seeing him go in, Shen Wan was confused, “Don’t you ride a horse?”
"I'll ride in the carriage with you."
...Although this makes the relationship seem better, it's really not necessary.
However, Shen Wan did not refuse. Her parents would be very happy to see Xie Jingyu treat her well.
The servant drove the carriage towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. After half an hour, it stopped in front of the gate of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Before the carriage had even stopped, Chen Li came out. Seeing Chen Ping there but not Xie Jingyu, he asked, "Where's my brother-in-law? He didn't even accompany my sister when he returned home for the first time..."
Before he could finish his dissatisfied words, Xie Jingyu had already lifted the car curtain and came out.
Shen Li, “…”
He didn't ride a horse, but came in a carriage.
He knew that Xie Jingyu liked his sister, but he didn't want to accompany his sister to her parents' home and stay in the carriage, right?
If that were the case, then he, as the eldest uncle, would not be able to resist the urge to hang his brother-in-law upside down on the tree.
After Xie Jingyu got off the carriage, he helped Shen Wan down.
"Big brother."
Shen Wan called out, and Shen Li smiled and said, "Come into the house, your parents are waiting for you."
I didn’t go to Shou’an Hall, but to the Yun family’s Begonia Courtyard.
The old lady pretended to vomit blood, but she actually vomited blood. In addition, rumors spread inside and outside the mansion, saying that the old lady had failed to harm others and suffered backlash. The old lady's condition worsened due to anger, and now she can't even get off the sickbed.
In the past two days, Shen Ji and Yun Shi have thoroughly investigated the Dingguo Mansion to find out who buried the puppet and cursed Shen Wan, but they found nothing.
Chen Ji and Yun were sitting there. When they saw Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu come in, Chen Ji was all smiles. Yun felt a little sad. She was still reluctant to let her daughter get married, especially since it was so difficult to raise this daughter.
Although Shen Yu grew up safely and smoothly, she still had difficulty in having children. Yun was worried that Shen Wan would have trouble having children.
If my daughter isn't married, I worry about choosing a husband. If she's married, I worry about having children. If she's pregnant, I worry about whether it's a boy or a girl...
In short, there is always something to worry about.
In addition to Chen Ji and Yun Shi, the second master and second lady, the third master and third lady were all there, as well as Chen Wu, Chen Ti and others.
Seeing the two of them walking in side by side, envy and jealousy were bubbling in my heart. Chen Wan's marriage was good enough, and the Prince of Jingbei also cared about her very much. This was what made others envy the most.
The maid brought tea, Shen Wan blinked, why didn't you prepare a futon? Did you just kneel down like that?
Shen Ji said, "No need to kneel, just serve tea."
Shen Wan also didn't like kneeling, so he immediately served tea. Xie Jingyu presented it to Shen Ji, and Shen Wan served it to Yun Shi.
The two of them were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. The second master and the second mistress had smiles on their faces, but the smiles were faint and did not reach their eyes.
