Chapter 18 Murder
Shen Wan's voice choked with sobs, and he wiped away his tears again and again, hugging Shen Yu tightly and not letting go.
There was a sound of horse hooves.
Guard Chen Ping rode over and said, "The Emperor has summoned me. I'd better hurry into the palace and don't keep the Emperor waiting."
"You send them back."
Xie Jingyu jumped on the horse, glanced at Chen Wan, kicked the horse's belly and left.
Watching Xie Jingyu ride away on horseback, Shen Wan felt very complicated.
She didn't expect that the one who saved her elder sister would be Xie Jingyu.
In order to save them, he even delayed going to the palace to see the emperor...
The emperor summoned Xie Jingyu, and on his way to the palace, he saw Shen Wan galloping on horseback in the downtown area. Worried that something might have happened to her, he chased after her to check on her, but he never expected something like this to happen.
After a while, Shen Wan felt much better. She helped the weak Shen Yu up. Shen Yu looked at the cliff and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Wan came on horseback, and Chen Ping gave his horse to Chen Yu. Just as the two were about to mount their horses, Manager Li came over. He was originally going to follow Chen Wan's instructions to go to Jingmiao Temple, but Xie Jingyu happened to come over and told him that Chen Wan and Shen Yu were there, so he hurried over.
Seeing Chen Yu's messy hair and pale face, Manager Li said in fear, "Why would she scare the horse for no reason?"
Shen Wan's eyes were cold, "It's not a frightened horse, it's murder!"
"Wan'er..."
Shen Yu shook her head.
Shen Wan was furious and said, "The Prince of Yongqing is having an affair with his cousin, Miss Xu. He's afraid that father will find out and won't forgive him. He wants to kill you to make room for the wife. As for the horse-scaring incident, my elder sister knows it all, so why would she cover it up for him?!"
Chen Yu also had this suspicion. Chen Wan repeatedly warned her not to go to Jingmiao Temple, fearing that there would be disaster. Therefore, he repeatedly warned her, and even warned Tu Bai as it was not enough.
But no matter how she refused, Lady Yongqing insisted that she come, and even got angry, putting pressure on her by asking if she didn't want to continue the Yongqing Marquis's family lineage.
With such a big hat put on her, Chen Yu had no choice but to come. She was afraid that Chen Wan would be unhappy if she knew about it, so she even stopped Tu Bai from telling Chen Wan.
Tu Bai's eyelids were twitching and he felt uneasy when he left the mansion, so he temporarily sent Bi'er to Duke Dingguo's mansion to find Chen Wan.
Chen Yu went to Jingmiao Temple, prayed, and then walked around. Then she ran into Prince Yongqing and Xu Zhiyi being affectionate with each other. After being caught, Xu Zhiyi mocked her for not being able to have children and said that she would give birth to a lot of children for her cousin. She turned around and left in anger.
She wanted to leave in a carriage, but as soon as she got on, the carriage lost control. She had some guesses in her heart, but it was just her guess and she had no solid evidence.
and--
"How did you know this?"
Shen Wan said, “Go back to the mansion first, Yongqingbo Mansion, I will not let you go back.”
Manager Li came with a carriage. Although Shen Wan was taught to ride by Shen Ji, it was still a bit ostentatious for a lady from a noble family to ride a horse through the streets.
Shen Wan and Shen Yu got on the carriage, then lifted the curtain and looked at Chen Ping, "No need for you to see us off. Thank you, Master, for today."
Chen Ping said, "I dare not disobey the orders of the Crown Prince."
What he meant was that he still had to send the person back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion in person.
The emperor summoned him, but the prince didn't care when he saw Miss Shen riding her horse in the street. He was not a wooden block, so he couldn't see that the prince cared about Miss Shen.
Chen Ping followed the carriage from a distance and sent the people to the outside of Duke Dingguo's Mansion before turning around and leaving.
The news that Shen Yu frightened the horse and nearly fell off the cliff had already reached the Dingguo Mansion before they returned home. As Shen Wan helped Shen Yu down from the carriage, Yun Shi hurried out, looking anxious and worried, "How did the horse get frightened? Is she seriously injured?"
Shen Wan asked, "Has father returned home yet?"
Yun looked at the bruise on Chen Yu's forehead and felt heartbroken. "I've sent someone to look for your father."
"Call a doctor quickly."
Shen Wan helped Shen Yu into the house.
Before the doctor arrived, Shen Ji came back. His face was ashen as he walked in. "The prince of Yongqing did something wrong to Yu'er. Is this true?"
Yun Shi didn't know about this yet. Upon hearing this, her face changed, "He dares?!"
Chen Wan looked at Chen Ji, "Eldest sister and Tu Bai witnessed this incident with their own eyes, and then eldest sister frightened the horse. Father, do you think this was just an accident? They want to kill eldest sister!"
"Father, please help my eldest sister get a divorce."
Shen Wan's eyes were red and she was crying.
Tu Bai was also there, and this maid was even more seriously injured.
Yun looked at Tu Bai.
Tu Bai endured the pain and dizziness all over her body and told Yun Shi everything about how she and Shen Yu had discovered the affair between them, and also about Xu Zhiyi's ridicule and mockery of Shen Yu. Yun Shi was so angry that her lips turned white.
Shen Ji was even more furious. If the Prince of Yongqing was there, he would have kicked him to death.
"How dare he bully my daughter like this!"
The doctor came soon and took Chen Yu's pulse. She was quite frightened and had bruises all over her body from being knocked around in the carriage. There were several large lumps on the back of her head that hurt when touched.
The doctor prescribed medicine and left some ointment for external application.
Even though there was no solid evidence that the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion was plotting to murder Shen Yu, Yun Shi did not dare to gamble with her daughter's life. She immediately ordered someone to clean up the yard and give it to Shen Yu to live in.
Shen Wan said, “Mom, it’s okay for my eldest sister to live with me.”
Mingyue Garden is where my eldest sister has lived since she was a child.
Ye Caiwei won't be living in her Qingyi Garden for long and it's time to return it to her.
Yun said, "That's fine. Your elder sister is frightened, so you should spend more time with her."
Chen Wan helped Chen Yu back to Mingyue Garden to apply the medicine. Just as they finished, Yin Chuan came in and said, "Miss, Prince Yongqing knew that your aunt was frightened by the horse and was very worried. He came to the mansion to take your aunt back..."
Worry?
You must be worried that your eldest sister is not dead!
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion hadn't sent anyone to look for him yet, but he came here first!
You came just in time.
If you don’t leave a divorce letter today, you can’t leave.
