Chapter 168 Ridicule
Shen Wan almost buried himself and suffocated.
If she had known that rubbing her eyes would lead to her spraining her ankle for no apparent reason and being carried all the way back, she would never have lied about squinting her eyes.
God knows why this bastard loves to cuddle so much?!
Shen Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Can you please let me go by myself? Otherwise, I will be scolded by others!"
She felt wronged when being scolded for the red mark on Xie Jingyu's face yesterday, but she was carried away even though she had done nothing wrong. When Concubine Wen wanted to say something to them, they had no words to refute.
Xie Jingyu said, "Don't pay attention to them."
“People’s words are scary!”
Shen Wan almost begged, "There are already a lot of people in Jingbei Palace who are looking for trouble with me, and even my father and mother are not happy with me..."
"Father and Mother won't care about such a trivial matter as me holding you."
The voice is mellow and firm.
Shen Wan asked, “Are you so sure?”
Xie Jingyu curled his lips and smiled, "They can't just allow themselves to set fires and not allow me, their son, to light a lamp."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Did my father and mother do such a thing?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Don't say I just held you in the mansion. Even if I held you for a walk around Kyoto, my father wouldn't say anything to me."
Without saying anything, it shows how good the King of Jingbei's temper is.
Shen Wan didn't believe it, "Why?"
"Because my father did something like this when he was young."
“…”
She thought that there was no need to say anything and that they would just beat him to death.
It is simply unimaginable for the prince to carry the princess around Kyoto.
Shen Wan glanced at Xie Jingyu suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't help me?"
Xie Jingyu laughed, "Many people in the palace know about this, why should I help you?"
Shen Wan saw that he really didn't look like he was trying to save her, but she still couldn't believe it, "Father doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."
Xie Jingyu said, "Isn't my father-in-law completely different from when he was young?"
...Chen Wan couldn't refute this.
Shen Wan's gossipy heart was aroused, and she asked in a low voice, "Why did my father carry my mother around Kyoto?"
"It's not hugging, it's carrying."
Even more cruel.
Xie Jingyu said, "When my father was young, he was assassinated and fell into a coma. My mother married him to bring him good luck. When he woke up, he was blind and disliked my mother, so he divorced her. Later, his eyesight recovered and he fell in love with my mother at first sight on the street. He knew that my mother was the Crown Prince's Consort he had divorced. He regretted it deeply and kept pestering her. My mother ignored him. My father had no choice but to eat the divorce agreement and carry my mother across several streets back to the Jingbei Palace."
Shen Wan, “…”
Shen Wan believed that this was true, otherwise, Xie Jingyu would be beaten to death for making up such a story about his father.
The prince himself did even more extreme things when he was young, so it was indeed difficult for him to discipline Xie Jingyu. It was no wonder that this guy always felt particularly justified in doing these things. He was fearless because of the confidence given by his father.
But he has inherited thick skin, and she doesn't.
Has he ever thought about how she feels when he leads her to do such a thing?
Chen Wan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Although Xie Jingyu only said a few words about the relationship between the prince and the princess, Shen Wan found it interesting. It was a pity that Concubine Wen was squeezed in between the prince and the princess. The beautiful jade has flaws, otherwise they would have been a couple for life.
Chen Wan was carried all the way back to Zhaolanxuan and was not put down until she was back in the house. She thought she would be fine once she got back to the house, but she didn't sprain her ankle, so she had to pretend to have one.
Xie Jingyu carried Shen Wan back. The servants in the mansion thought something happened to Shen Wan. This matter was heard by the princess. The princess thought Shen Wan sprained her ankle and came to Zhao Lanxuan to see her.
What could Chen Wan do? She couldn't say that she was just blinded by the wind and sand, and Xie Jingyu was afraid that she would sprain her ankle while walking, so he carried her back.
She still has to have some dignity.
Shen Wan blushed and nodded, "I'm sorry to have worried my mother."
The princess asked worriedly, "Is it serious? Why didn't you call a doctor?"
Shen Wan shook her head repeatedly, "It's not serious, I can actually walk, but my husband won't let me..."
Shen Wan looked like he was afraid of being scolded.
The princess chuckled and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay. Yu'er is a martial artist, so it won't take much effort for me to hold you."
Shen Wan was fine, so the princess left with peace of mind.
Since she was pretending to have sprained her ankle, she had to act like one. Chen Wan didn't leave her room the entire afternoon, lying on the couch reading a book. However, she wasn't interested in the book Shanhu brought her. Yinchuan came in angrily, "Crown Princess, everyone in the palace is discussing the division of the Dingguo Mansion, and they've even brought up the story of the second house keeping a concubine and an illegitimate child..."
In the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the eldest son's wife's house is separated from the other houses. You won't feel angry when you hear this, and you may even feel happy.
But once you leave the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, you all prosper and suffer together.
This time the Duke Dingguo's Mansion has been completely disgraced, but there is no construction without destruction. If these things are not exposed and the family is not divided, who knows what dirty things those people who are condoned will do.
As for gossip, it's none of her business. Fortunately, her eldest brother's marriage has been decided, otherwise if such rumors were spread, it would affect her eldest brother's marriage.
Then she thought about Concubine Wen and the Second Madam, who would definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If she went to pay her respects to the old lady, she would definitely have to listen to their ridicule. Shen Wan really didn't want to go, so she didn't go the next day.
She even pretended to have sprained her ankle in front of the princess and didn't go to pay her respects. The old lady couldn't say anything to her. She was willing to be lazy for as long as she could.
But some ridicule is unavoidable.
Look, when Chen Wan went to Wing Chun Temple to pay her respects the next day, she ran into the eldest girl Xie Zhiying at the gate.
Xie Zhihuan's eyes were full of hostility, but it was normal. She was the daughter of Concubine Wen. Because she scolded Shen Wan at the gate, Concubine Wen was punished by the prince to copy the family rules for three days. It would be strange if Xie Zhihuan had no hostility towards Shen Wan.
When they met head-on, Xie Zhihuan's mockery hit her face, "Such a shameful thing happened in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but sister-in-law is not ashamed at all."
Chen Wan had never had a good impression of the people in Jingbei Palace. If she tolerated this kind of kicking someone when they were down, she would be too easy to bully.
Shen Wan said coldly, "What? Do I have to carve the word 'shame' on my face for everyone to see?"
Xie Zhihuan said angrily, "I think my sister-in-law not only doesn't feel ashamed, but is actually very proud of it."
Chen Wan glanced at Xie Zhihuan and said, "Miss, your eyesight is not good, so ask the imperial physician to take a good look."
"you!"
As the daughter of King Jingbei, people usually flatter her wherever she goes. Few dare to argue with her, so she seems a little tongue-tied.
Unable to argue with Shen Wan, Xie Zhihuan became even more angry, "I really don't know what big brother likes about you!"
Chen Wan was so angry that he said, "You want to know? I'll ask for you later."
Xie Zhihuan, "......!!!"
coral,"……"
Shanhu has been following Chen Wan for several years, and this is the first time she knows that her daughter is so good at quarreling. However, the eldest daughter of Jingbei Palace is too annoying.
Xie Zhihuan was angry, but couldn't argue with Shen Wan, so she went to complain to the old lady. When Shen Wan came in, Xie Zhihuan said, "Grandma, I just asked my eldest sister-in-law whether the rumors about the division of the Dingguo Mansion were true, and my eldest sister-in-law got furious and scolded me!"
Is that what she's asking?
You're really good at turning the tables.
The old lady frowned in displeasure. Just as she was about to scold Chen Wan, Chen Wan said with a look of grievance, "Before I came to greet you good morning, I was worried. I asked if the people in the Xianggong Mansion would laugh at me because of the scandal of the second branch of the Dingguo Mansion. The Xianggong said that you should not hit people in the face and expose people's shortcomings. The people in the Jingbei Palace know etiquette and would not do such a shameful thing."
The clear and crisp sound echoed in the room, directly holding the old lady there.
The old lady's eyes were dim. She didn't expect Shen Wan to be so eloquent. She spoke first and shut their mouths with the word "etiquette".
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion was ashamed, but they still wanted to talk about her and deliberately ridicule her, which showed that they did not know etiquette.
What else could the old lady say? She could only scold Xie Zhihuan lightly, "Something happened at the Duke Ding's Mansion, and your sister-in-law is in a bad mood. Even if you have good intentions, she will inevitably misunderstand you. Don't do such things again in the future."
