Chapter 165 Scolding
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin were really happy, and they were laughing and chatting throughout the lunch.
After lunch, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
On the way back to the Jingbei Palace, Chen Wan asked Xie Jingyu, "Did my father say anything else besides asking you to accompany me to the Lin Mansion?"
"there is none left."
Chen Wan hesitated to speak.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Wan twisted the scented handkerchief in her hand, "Can you tomorrow..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Xie Jingyu stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Wanla into his arms, “It’s too far away, I can’t hear what you said clearly.”
She didn't say whether it was okay or not!
She hoped that Xie Jingyu could accompany her to the Yun family tomorrow, but she couldn't say it.
One cannot have it all. Since she insisted that their marriage was fake, what right did she have to make demands on him? Even after getting married, there were people who did not accompany their parents back home. What's more, Xie Jingyu not only accompanied her back to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but also accompanied her to the Lin Mansion. The Yun family was her maternal grandparents' home. Even if it was a real marriage, it didn't matter whether Xie Jingyu accompanied her or not, not to mention that they had a quarrel last night.
Chen Wan was afraid of being humiliated if she spoke up, so she simply kept silent. However, Xie Jingyu still couldn't see through her little thoughts, "You want me to accompany you to the Yun family?"
Shen Wan asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"
Xie Jingyu turned his face to the side and said, "Kiss me, I'll go with you."
For some reason, whenever he put his face close to her, Shen Wan couldn't help but want to call him.
But Chen Wan tried her best to hold back. The Yun family loved her, and when she got married, the Yun family would definitely hope that Xie Jingyu would accompany her to the Yun family. Just a kiss would make her grandparents happy, and she had no reason not to do it. Besides, she had been kissed so many times by this bastard, wasn't it just a kiss on the face?
Shen Wan leaned forward and gave a kiss. The sound didn't sound like he was compromising, but more like he was taking advantage.
Xie Jingyu was pleased and very satisfied, but the next second, Shen Wan raised her hand to wipe his face.
Xie Jingyu laughed, "Why are you wiping it? I don't dislike you."
Shen Wan looked at the perfect lip prints on Xie Jingyu's face. She felt that this was not a question of whether to dislike it or not. If someone saw it, he would not be embarrassed, but she would be afraid of being laughed at.
After lunch, Shen Wan put on some lip balm, and all the force from the kiss just now was on his face.
Shen Wan said with a stiff upper lip, "Let's just wipe it off..."
"No need."
Shen Wan stopped talking and silently turned out the mirror to look at him.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Xie Jingyu held his forehead and said, "Wipe it."
Shen Wan refused to do it, “Didn’t you say you didn’t need it?”
This woman is deliberately arguing with him.
Xie Jingyu said, "It's so hard to kiss you, it's a shame to wipe it off like this, let's keep it."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
What a shameless guy!
Chen Wan wished she could perish with him.
But in the end she was defeated. It is true that shameless people are invincible.
But Chen Wan was not someone to be bullied. She rubbed very hard with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. The gentleman felt that a layer of skin on his face was about to be rubbed off.
It would have been fine if she had wiped it hard, but the important thing was that she hadn't wiped it clean yet, the handkerchief hadn't gotten wet, and the light in the carriage wasn't that bright, so she couldn't see it inside the carriage, but she could see it clearly when she got out of the carriage.
As luck would have it, when they returned to Prince Jingbei's Mansion, Concubine Wen had just returned from leaving the mansion.
Seeing Xie Jingyu blushing, Concubine Wen asked, "What's wrong with the prince's face?"
At first glance, it looked a little red, but a closer look revealed it was stained with lip balm that hadn't been wiped clean.
Concubine Wen frowned fiercely, looked at Chen Wan with displeasure, and scolded, "How can this be disgraceful?!"
Accusations were flying everywhere, and Shen Wan really didn't know how the Jingbei Palace maintained superficial harmony.
They all speak and act so unruly.
The princess did not set the rules for her, but the old lady, the concubine and aunt of Prince Jingbei's Mansion, set the rules for her. Even if she kissed Xie Jingyu and let some lip balm on his face, it was not her turn as a concubine to scold her, the Crown Prince's Consort, in front of the servants of Prince Jingbei's Mansion, right?
Those who don’t know would think that Concubine Wen is the Princess of Jingbei!
She, Shen Wan, was not someone who could be bullied by just anyone. She said to Xie Jingyu, "With the etiquette of your Jingbei Palace, even a concubine can casually criticize me, the Crown Prince's Consort?"
When Shen Wan was about to get off the carriage, Xie Jingyu reached out and directly carried Shen Wan down.
No one is as irritating as Xie Jingyu. He just said that they were indecent, but he still did something indecent.
After carrying Shen Wan down, Xie Jingyu said to Concubine Wen, "Concubine Wen had better remember your identity and stay out of things that are not your business."
"Father will condone you, but I won't."
After saying this, Xie Jingyu took Chen Wan up the stairs and stepped into the mansion.
Concubine Wen behind him turned green with anger.
Steward Zhou came forward and Xie Jingyu said, "Wait until father returns home and tell him everything that just happened, word for word."
Manager Zhou took note of it.
After walking a little further away, Shen Wan said, "It's just a small matter, there's no need to alarm father, right?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I saved face for my father and let him handle it."
Shen Wan, “…”
It's not unfair at all that this guy was disliked by the prince this morning.
He made a blatant complaint but still saved face for the prince. Will the prince reward him?
Concubine Wen was walking behind and saw Xie Jingyu holding Chen Wan's hand and not letting go, and even protecting Chen Wan and talking back to her. Concubine Wen was furious.
However, what made Concubine Wen angry was yet to come. When the prince returned home from the military camp, Manager Zhou, following Xie Jingyu's instructions, reported to the prince what had happened at the gate. The prince then punished Concubine Wen by making her copy the household rules for three days.
When the maid came to deliver the message, Concubine Wen was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand to pieces.
Mother Wu advised, "Concubine, calm down. I think it's time to expose the Crown Prince's background. The Crown Prince has the Emperor's trust and married the Duke Dingguo's daughter. No one can shake the Crown Prince's position. When he finds out that you are his biological mother, you can teach the Crown Prince's Concubine a lesson. He will definitely not protect her and disobey you."
"The princess has no maternal family. Perhaps the prince will consider you as his concubine for the sake of the crown prince..."
Concubine Wen's eyes flashed coldly, "I have endured for so many years, and I have endured enough."
Let’s talk about Chen Wan. She and Xie Jingyu returned to Zhaolanxuan. Xie Jingyu went to the study. Chen Wan went back to the room, drank a cup of tea, and asked Yinchuan to go to the Yun family to say hello. Xie Jingyu would accompany her to the Yun family tomorrow.
The Yun family's business is spread all over Ning Dynasty. If you visit without informing them, your uncle and cousin will most likely not be at home.
After Yinchuan left, Chen Wan prepared gifts. Although the Yun family had everything they needed, they still had to be polite.
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan took Shan Hu to Wing Chun Temple to pay her respects to the old lady.
Seeing Shen Wan, the second wife asked, "What's the matter with the prince punishing Concubine Wen to copy the family rules?"
The questioning was justified.
Chen Wan said calmly, "Concubine Wen was indiscriminate and went beyond the rules to criticize me, the Crown Prince's Concubine, and that's why my father punished her."
Chen Wan emphasized the word "out of line" particularly strongly.
Yesterday it was Concubine Wen who overstepped the boundaries, and today it was the Second Madam's turn. They all acted bossy towards her and really didn't treat her as the Crown Prince's consort at all.
The Second Madam asked, "Didn't you kiss the red mark on the prince's face?"
Shen Wan's face didn't turn red, she didn't even have time to get angry, "The carriage was bumpy, and his face hit my lips. If you don't believe me, you can ask my husband."
A room full of people, "..."
Shen Wan's face was not red and he was not out of breath, as if this was really the case.
Although everyone in the room thought it was fake, they had no way to verify it. They couldn't really call the prince to ask.
The Second Madam's eyes were dark. "Even if it was caused in this way, you should have wiped it off. It would be too shameful for others to see it."
"I did, but it wasn't clean enough."
The perfunctory tone and impatience made the Second Lady very angry. She said to the Princess, "Sister-in-law, look at the attitude of the Crown Princess!"
The princess said, "I think the Crown Prince's wife's attitude is already very good. Girls are shy, but they are repeatedly questioned. It's just a small matter. They just got married, and it's normal for them to have a better relationship."
