Chapter 183 Stairs
There was suppressed anger in Xie Jingyu's eyes. Shen Wan saw it and felt a little scared, but she still held her neck high.
She didn't ask anything excessive of him, she just wanted him to stop being fickle, stop liking other people, and stop teasing her again.
No wonder the girl in his previous life abandoned him. She must have given up on him because she realized that he was not a good match for her.
But even if Chen Wan mustered up the courage to say such hurtful words, she would not dare to say them out loud. Besides, she remembered her previous life, but Xie Jingyu had no such memory, so it was useless to say them.
Seeing that he was still looking at her, Shen Wan didn't know where to look. Fortunately, at this time, Shanhu's voice came from outside the door, "Crown Princess..."
Chen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu away with force. She sat down and drank some tea to calm herself down. Xie Jingyu looked at her several times and walked out.
Shanhu came in just after Xie Jingyu left. Xie Jingyu carried Chen Wan back. The maids and servants in the yard saw it and heard the noise in the house. They were whispering to each other. Shanhu was afraid that they would make louder noises and then the whole Jingbei Palace would know about it.
Chen Wan held the teacup, and became more and more angry as he thought about it, his eyes red. Shanhu wanted to ask but didn't dare to, so she just stood there with Chen Wan.
It was already time for lunch, and when the food was delivered from the kitchenette, Shen Wan sat down to eat.
When Xie Jingyu came back from the study, Shen Wanyi had already eaten half of his meal. He didn't say anything and sat down to eat.
During the meal, Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Wan countless times, but Chen Wan didn't even give him a glance. By the time a certain gentleman finished eating, his face was darker than the bottom of a century-old pot.
Usually Xie Jingyu would eat two bowls of rice, but today he finished one bowl and got up and left.
After he left, a little maid came out and called Shanhu and Yinchuan out.
Chen Ping went to find them.
The two men went out and asked, "What do you want us for?"
Chen Ping stretched out his hand, holding two large gold ingots.
Coral looked at him warily, "What are you doing?"
Chen Ping sighed, "The Crown Prince didn't cherish the jade pendant given by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is angry. Please help the Crown Prince to comfort the Crown Princess..."
Shanhu said, "The Crown Princess is angry, but it's definitely not because of the jade pendant."
Chen Ping asked, "If it's not because of the jade pendant, then what is it?"
Shanhu shook her head. "I don't know either, but it definitely wasn't because of the jade pendant. The Crown Prince used it to save someone, not to throw it away casually. The Crown Princess is always understanding and reasonable. How could she be angry over a jade pendant? The Crown Princess never values these things."
"besides--"
"We are loyal to the Crown Princess. Don't even think about buying us off with money!"
Shanhu snatched the gold ingot from Chen Ping's hand and turned away.
Chen Ping asked, "Why did you take it if you didn't want it?"
"This is evidence of my crime! Show it to the Crown Princess!"
Shanhu pulled Yinchuan into the house.
Chen Ping, “…”
Inside the room, Shen Wan sat there, looking lost in thought.
Shanhu placed the two pieces of evidence in front of Shen Wan and said, "Just now, Chen Ping called me and Yinchuan out and asked us to help the Crown Prince to appease the Crown Princess..."
Shen Wan didn't say anything.
Shanhu asked, "Why is the Crown Princess so angry?"
Shen Wan said unhappily, "Did you really get bribed?"
Shanhu and Yinchuan shook their heads repeatedly, "No, we are just concerned about the Crown Prince's Consort. We are giving this gold ingot to you as evidence of his crime, and we will throw it back to him later."
Shen Wan said, "Why throw it back? Keep it!"
The two maids immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward, Princess."
In the study.
Xie Jingyu was reading a book, also absent-mindedly.
Chen Ping walked in and said, "Master, the Crown Princess's maid Shanhu said that the Crown Princess was not angry because the jade pendant was broken, but because of something else."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "Anything else?"
“Coral doesn’t know either.”
Xie Jingyu has a headache.
It was obvious that he was angry after the jade pendant was broken, but it turned out not because of the jade pendant, so what was it because of?
That woman's mind is so hard to guess.
Chen Ping hesitated to speak.
"explain!"
Chen Ping said stubbornly, "Not only did the two maids not help, they also confiscated the 'evidence' of my bribery and handed it over to the Crown Prince's Consort..."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
I haven't even figured out why I'm angry, and now I'm committing an even greater crime.
Xie Jingyu didn't return to his study room until dinner time for the whole afternoon.
Chen Wan treated him as if he didn't exist and ate her own food. Xie Jingyu's eyes seemed to be embedded in her, but no matter how he looked, Chen Wan didn't even look at him. The anger of a certain gentleman was rising, but he had to hold it back.
While they were eating, the princess's maid Shaoyao came in and said, "Princess, the princess wants you to accompany her to General Yunhui's mansion tomorrow."
General Yunhui was only a third-rank official. He did not come to Prince Jingbei's Mansion after returning to Kyoto, but the princess actually went to General Yunhui's Mansion first.
A bit strange.
"I see."
After Shaoyao left, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "You should go with your mother."
It wasn't easy, but I finally got to talk to him.
"Okay, I'll go with you and Mother."
Xie Jingyu smiled and picked up a shrimp and put it in Shen Wan's bowl.
But that smile made me feel so sad and anxious.
Is he so happy to be allowed to go to General Yunhui’s mansion? He can go if he wants to. No one is tying his feet to stop him from going!
It was not enough for him to accompany the princess, he also wanted her to go as well.
Did she go to see him and General Yunhui's daughter being affectionate?!
This is too much!
Putting down his chopsticks, Shen Wan said angrily, “I’m full!”
Xie Jingyu, “……???”
Isn't that giving him a way out?
He went down the stairs, but why did he become even angrier?
Xie Jingyu looked at Shen Wan in confusion as she left. The two maids followed her out, and he was the only one left in the huge room.
Chen Wan didn't eat much for dinner. She took Shanhu Yinchuan for a walk in the garden before coming back.
Xie Jingyu was in the study, reading military books to pass the time.
Chen Ping and Chen An came in at some point, and they were whispering to each other, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Chen Ping said, "I'll help you share your worries and ask someone to tell me how to make a woman happy..."
"Is there any way?" Xie Jingyu asked.
“…”
"Yes, I do, but it won't work for you."
“…”
Xie Jingyu said in a deep voice, "I will judge whether it is useful or not."
Chen Ping said stiffly, "Giving gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin as gifts would make most women happy, but the Crown Prince's Consort has no shortage of them."
"What else?"
"Fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed..."
This is the most effective method, but it is also the most useless to me.
The master and the Crown Princess have not consummated their marriage yet. Now that they are arguing, they may not even be able to sleep in the same bed, let alone anything else.
"roll!"
A word spread.
Chen Ping and Chen An dodged faster than anyone else.
Xie Jingyu was so angry that he threw the book in his hand.
Not only can I not help, but I will also be very angry with him.
Xie Jingyu stayed in the study until very late. When he returned to the room, Shen Wan was already asleep.
