Chapter 160 Complaint
No one was surprised when the old lady fainted.
The old lady was already ill. Chen Xun and Shen Xun were both her most beloved grandsons. Shen Xun cheated on Shen Xun and beat him unconscious. It would be strange if the old lady could withstand such a blow without fainting.
Chen Ji had always wanted to split up the family business, but now that the second and fourth rooms had caused such a scandal, the saying "As long as the parents are alive, the family business will not be split up" could stop them.
Chen Wan and Yun were walking towards Shou'an Hall. Halfway along the way, they saw Chen Ji coming over. From a distance, they could see that Chen Ji's face was pitch black.
Shen Xun and Qu Yan committed adultery and injured Shen Xun. These were not trivial matters, and the servants reported it to Shen Ji immediately.
Going forward, Shen Wanfu bowed and saluted. Shen Ji suppressed his anger, his face softened a bit, "The mansion is in such a mess, you and the prince should go back to the Jingbei Palace first."
Shen Wan really wanted to stay and watch the fun, but Xie Jingyu would definitely be embarrassed, and her parents were most likely not in the mood to accompany her for the homecoming dinner.
Shen Wan nodded, “Then let’s go back today and come back another day.”
Xie Jingyu was in the front yard, so Shen Wan went to the front yard to find him.
As Chen Wan walked towards the study, she saw Chen Li escorting Xie Jingyu out. Chen Li sighed, "Something happened on the day of her wedding, and even when she returned home, she encountered these bad things. I wish the Duke Dingguo's Mansion could be as harmonious as the Prince Jingbei's Mansion."
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Shen Wan wanted to cover her eldest brother's mouth.
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion is bad enough, and it would be even worse if it were like the Prince Jingbei's Mansion.
Without any deep hatred, could Xie Jingyu have almost wiped out his entire family?
Unfortunately, she didn't know why Xie Jingyu wanted to kill all those people. Could it be because of the death of Princess Jingbei? But Princess Jingbei died at the birthday banquet of Duke Xingguo's Mansion. If the people of Jingbei Mansion wanted to kill Princess Jingbei, they wouldn't do it at the birthday banquet of Duke Xingguo.
In this life, Princess Jingbei did not go to the Mansion of Duke Xingguo, and she has lived safely until now. If the people from the Jingbei Mansion really wanted to kill her, they would definitely find another opportunity to do it. Given the harmony of the Jingbei Mansion, it would be easy for them to do it.
Intuition told Shen Wan that the death of Princess Jingbei in the previous life had nothing to do with those people in the Jingbei Palace.
But if it wasn't revenge for his mother's murder, what did those people do to make Xie Jingyu so angry?
Shen Wan was lost in thought. Xie Jingyu held her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Wan shook his head, "Let's go."
Shen Li escorted them out of the house.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Wan asked Xie Jingyu, "Where is Chen An?"
Before Xie Jingyu could speak, Chen An's voice came, "I'm here."
Chen Wan immediately lifted the carriage curtain. Although she had guessed it in her heart, she still asked, "Did you lead Chen Xun to catch the adulterer?"
Chen An nodded.
When he found out that Chen Xun was going to look for Qu Yan, he immediately stopped Chen Xun who was about to leave the house and threw a stone at him. Chen Xun discovered his whereabouts and immediately chased after him. Then he ran into Chen Xun and Qu Yan making love in the bamboo forest and immediately became furious.
However, Chen An did not expect that after the affair was discovered, Shen Xun dared to fight back and kicked Shen Xun so hard that he hit the stone and fainted, thus ruining the prince's wife's return.
Chen An was about to apologize, but before he could open his mouth, a gold ingot flew out of the carriage.
Shen Wan rewarded him.
Chen An took it steadily, "Thank you for the reward, Princess."
Although the return banquet was ruined, Shen Wan was happy. She lowered the curtain and saw Xie Jingyu looking at her with a smile. Shen Wan felt uncomfortable all over, "...Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Jingyu said, "There's dirt on your face."
Shen Wan blushed and raised her hand to wipe it, but when she saw Xie Jingyu's smile deepen, Shen Wan reacted and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?!"
Xie Jingyu said, "Why can't I, as a husband, visit my wife?"
The implication was that he was teasing her because she didn't allow him to look.
Shen Wan was angry, but had nothing to refute. After all, the two of them had just gotten married, and he bowed once more than others. Even if it was fake, it was not a big deal for him to look at her a few times.
Shen Wan glanced over, ready to lift the curtain to look outside. Just as he was about to reach out, Xie Jingyu's voice came, "Come closer."
Shen Wan sat a little far away from him.
Shen Wan said, "It's fine for me to sit here..."
Before she could finish her words, her hand that was trying to lift the car curtain was grabbed, and before she could react, the person pounced on him.
If nothing unexpected had happened, she would have thrown herself into his arms, but the carriage happened to shake at this moment, and then Shen Wan crashed directly into him.
His forehead hit Xie Jingyu's nose, and Shen Wan saw stars in pain.
Xie Jingyu was even worse off. His nose was hit so hard that it almost broke. Seeing Shen Wan rubbing his forehead, he asked, "Did it hurt?"
She was sitting peacefully, but he had to torment her. Shen Wan said angrily, "I wasn't smart enough to begin with, and I got hit and became stupid. Are you going to support me for the rest of my life?"
Shen Wan wanted to sit back, but Xie Jingyu held her waist and sat steadily on his thighs, "I will support you in the next life."
His eyes were burning, and he didn't seem to be joking.
Shen Wan's heart skipped a beat, and coupled with this intimate posture, Shen Wan really couldn't resist it.
Why does it feel like this bastard is flirting with her all the time? Fortunately, she still remembers how he scattered her ashes and reminds herself from time to time, otherwise, with his face, he would have definitely made her crazy.
Shen Wan struggled to sit back, but the carriage reins were tightened again. Not only did Shen Wan not sit back, but she hugged his neck instead.
Shen Wan, “…”
How did you drive the carriage?!
Shen Wan was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
Shen Wan wanted to let go, but was held down by Xie Jingyu, "My husband likes you to hold me like this."
But she doesn't like it!
Is this still a fake marriage?
Few people would be so affectionate after getting married.
Thinking of what Yun had told her, Shen Wan hesitated to speak. Xie Jingyu said, "Is there anything you can't say?"
Shen Wan asked, “Did you complain to my father?”
Xie Jingyu was confused by this. "Complain? Complain about what?"
Shen Wan said, “About the time I slapped you.”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Xie Jingyu raised his hand and touched Chen Wan's forehead, "Did you really get knocked silly?"
Shen Wanmiao glared.
Xie Jingyu said, "I can't even hide such a shameful thing from my father-in-law, how can I complain to him?"
Shen Wan thought about it and said, "Then how did my father know?"
"...The scene where you hit me was seen by my father-in-law's secret guards."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Shen Wan’s face flushed red, “My dad already knew that you climbed over the wall to find me?!”
Xie Jingyu hummed, looked into Chen Wan's eyes and said, "As a husband, I strictly abide by etiquette. If I want to do something else, my father-in-law will most likely turn a blind eye."
Observe etiquette?
he?
Can this guy have some shame?
Who would be so polite as to climb over the wall and break into a woman's bedroom? Does he know how to write these four words?
Shen Wan despised him in his heart, and there was another person who despised him outside the carriage.
Chen Ping rubbed his ears as he listened.
The prince is not a man who strictly observes etiquette, but when it comes to other things...
What can someone do if he has married the Crown Prince's wife but hasn't consummated the marriage yet?
Such big talk.
