Chapter 199 Heart
Chen Wan accompanied Ye Caiwei to wait at the door. Yun was going to arrange a place for Ye Caiwei to live. Chen Wan said, "Mother, just arrange for my cousin to live in Mingyue Garden."
Yun said, "Alright."
She was originally hesitating between Qingyi Garden and Mingyue Garden. Chen Wan wanted Ye Caiwei to live there, so how could Yun Shi refuse?
My daughter is getting married and will not be living in Mingyue Garden anymore. Ye Caiwei will not be able to stay here for long as she has to get married.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Ji came back, and Shen Wan asked, "Did the Zhou family agree?"
Shen Ji laughed, "Why wouldn't you agree?"
Ye Caiwei is his Shen Ji's niece, and she has been staying in the Zhou family for the past four years. No one knows her character better than the Zhou family.
Yun said, "I think Young Master Zhou is quite good, but Jizhou is a bit too far..."
Shen Ji smiled and said, "I won't marry someone from Jizhou."
Yun Shi was a little confused, but Shen Wan understood that his father wanted to repay the Zhou family's kindness and help Mr. Zhou transfer to Beijing.
When the emperor celebrates his birthday, most of the officials who are sent to Beijing to celebrate the occasion do so because they want to transfer their official positions. They take the opportunity to come to Beijing to build relationships. After all, officials cannot leave their place of office at will unless it is an urgent matter.
With my father's help, it's almost certain that Mr. Zhou will be transferred to Beijing.
My cousin doesn’t have to marry so far away in Jizhou. It will be more convenient for my father to take care of her if she stays in Kyoto.
Everyone is happy.
Shen Wan said to Ye Caiwei, “Cousin can stay in the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion with peace of mind this time.”
Ye Caiwei's face turned red and she was shy, but she didn't dare to run away.
Shen Ji went to the study, Shen Wan said a few words to Ye Caiwei, and then went to find Shen Ji.
Shen Ji said, "Wan'er, do you have something to ask your father?"
Shen Wan asked, “Does it count as a meritorious service if my daughter finds her cousin?”
Shen Ji laughed, "Of course it counts."
"Then father must reward his daughter," Shen Wan asked for reward.
Shen Ji said, "This is something you want. Tell me, what do you want?"
Shen Wan was not polite, "My daughter wants the dagger in her father's drawer."
Why would you need something as dangerous as a dagger?
Shen Ji looked at Shen Wan, and suddenly realized what Shen Wan wanted the dagger for, and couldn't help laughing.
Opening the drawer, Shen Ji handed the dagger to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan hurriedly took it, "My daughter thanks my father."
The dagger looked small, but it was heavy. Shen Wanfu stepped back.
Xie Jingyu had nothing to say about receiving this dagger as a thank you gift.
Thinking this way, Shen Wan then saw Xie Jingyu walking towards her.
Shen Wan thought she was seeing things, she blinked and asked, "Why are you here at Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"
"I'm not here to pick you up."
The words almost came out from between his teeth.
I didn't tell him the last time I came back. He clearly had some objections, but he turned a deaf ear to me. It just so happened that my father had something to ask him to come and see my father-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't have come.
Xie Jingyu was about to leave, and Shen Wan handed him the dagger.
Xie Jingyu looked at the dagger, "What is this...?"
"A thank you gift for you."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Isn't this my father-in-law's favorite dagger?"
A few years ago, Chen Li secretly showed it to him. It was a rare and good dagger that could cut iron like mud.
Of course Shen Wan knew that this was her father's favorite dagger, but after her father was murdered in his previous life, the dagger fell into Shen Xun's hands and he lost it to someone else in a bet. God knows how heartbroken she was.
As long as my father and elder brother can keep their lives, the dagger is nothing.
"You don't lack anything else. I asked my father for it specifically for you."
You must be kind to my father and elder brother in the future.
Shen Wan added in his heart.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
I was touched, but I didn't dare to take it.
How could he take away what his father-in-law likes?
However, a certain gentleman was in a very good mood. He didn't expect that Shen Wan would give him Shen Ji's favorite thing. His restraint in the past few days was not in vain.
Xie Jingyu reached out to take it and went to see Shen Ji.
Return the dagger.
Shen Ji said, "Why was it sent back again?"
"I dare not take away what my father-in-law likes."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Just take it. Wan'er asked for it specially for you. I'm happy that you and Wan'er have a good relationship. Please try to let me hold my little grandson soon."
"I will try my best, but the dagger——"
Shen Ji said, "Just don't let Wan'er down."
He has given it to his son-in-law, can he take it back?
Looking at the dagger in his hand, Xie Jingyu felt both happy and headache.
I can only accept it and find a better dagger to present to my father-in-law.
Better—
My father's sword is not better, but at least it is not worse than this one.
If Xie Jingyu hadn't come, Shen Wan would have gone back to Prince Jingbei's Mansion after lunch. But when he came, Shen Wan didn't stay long and left with him.
Shen Wan rode in a carriage, and Xie Jingyu rode a horse.
Returning to the Jingbei Palace, Xie Jingyu went to the prince to ask for the dagger, "Father, please lend me the dagger."
The prince asked, "What do you want to borrow the dagger for?"
"Return the dagger."
Prince, “…???”
The prince was confused.
Xie Jingyu had no choice but to take out Shen Ji's dagger. "This dagger is my father-in-law's favorite. Wan'er asked my father-in-law for it and gave it to me. I won't go back."
The prince knew what Xie Jingyu wanted to do with the dagger.
He took his dagger to return it, and if Shen Ji refused to accept it, he would give Shen Ji the prince's dagger as a gift.
They are all daggers that can cut through iron like mud, so of course I prefer the one I am used to.
The prince threw the dagger to Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu went to Duke Dingguo's mansion again, and under the guise of the prince, he returned the dagger to Chen Ji, and then took the prince's dagger back to the mansion.
Xie Jingyu gave the dagger to the prince, and the prince said, "You keep it."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Father doesn't want it?"
The prince said, "I will give it to you sooner or later. Giving it to you sooner will prevent the Crown Princess from thinking you don't have it and trying to dig out the Duke Ding's favorite thing to give it to you."
Xie Jingyu didn't bother to be polite with his father and accepted it decisively.
Xie Jingyu accepted the dagger, while Shen Li asked Shen Ji for it. "My brother-in-law has a dagger that can cut through iron like mud, but I, your uncle, don't have one. It's really embarrassing..."
Shen Ji said, "Here you go."
that's all--
Shen Wanyi operation.
Xie Jingyu and Shen Li each had an extra dagger that could cut through iron like mud.
Each of the two fathers lost a beloved one.
Xie Jingyu didn't know that in the near future, this dagger would save his life.
Although he didn't take the dagger and had to go through a lot of trouble, Xie Jingyu enjoyed it and was in a good mood the whole day. However, after nightfall, a certain gentleman was no longer happy.
Because Shen Wan asked the maid to bring his bedding and pillow to the study and let him sleep in the study.
During the day, she gave him her father's favorite thing, and at night she forced him to sleep in the study. Is that woman so capricious?
Xie Jingyu felt that Chen Wan was not such a person. He thought that she must be unwell. After all, he also slept in the study for a few days last month, so he slept in the study with peace of mind.
Chen Wan's period was indeed still on her body, but the most dangerous time had passed. Because Xie Jingyu did not hold her when she slept, Chen Wan was sure that she would not dirty him, so she did not invite him to live in the study.
Shanhu helped Xie Jingyu make the bed and went back to wait for Chen Wan to go to sleep. She extinguished the lights and candles and then went back to sleep.
Shen Wan lay on the bed, looking at the empty room outside the bed, feeling depressed.
It's fine to sleep in separate beds like this.
She gave her father's favorite thing to Xie Jingyu. Her father would never suspect that there was anything wrong with their relationship. If he really asked her, she would not be used to sleeping in the same bed, and her father would not suspect anything.
But my nose felt a little sour, and I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
I finally fell asleep, but I had another dream.
I dreamed about my past life.
I dreamed of... two children.
