Chapter 221: Statement
After helping Xie Jingyu put on his brocade robe, he went out.
Shanhu Yinchuan came in to help Chen Wan change her clothes. Shanhu asked worriedly, "Did the Crown Princess have a nightmare last night?"
The Crown Princess gave her the medicine prescribed by the doctor. She slept so soundly last night that she was particularly worried about the Crown Princess when she woke up in the morning.
Shen Wan shook his head, "No nightmare."
She was quite frightened yesterday, but she was also someone who had experienced many storms, so how could she be easily frightened?
I didn’t take any medicine yesterday, and I definitely won’t take it today.
After washing up, Xie Jingyu came back and the two had breakfast together.
The atmosphere was so good that I couldn't find words to describe it.
Just halfway through the meal, Shen Wan remembered that he had something else to do today, and told Yin Chuan, "Go to the Yun family and tell my second cousin that I don't have time to see Madam Zhou today, but I will see her the day after tomorrow."
"Tell him to stop Madam Zhou from going to Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
Yinchuan was a little confused and didn't know who Old Madam Zhou was.
Shanhu said, "Why don't I go instead? I know more about this matter."
Chen Wan also knew that it would be safer to let Shanhu pass the message, but Shanhu was frightened when she went out with her yesterday, and her body must have been bruised a lot.
Shanhu said, "I have thick skin and flesh, so I'm fine now."
Shen Wan let her go, "Tell grandma that when my husband's injury is better, I will go to pay my respects to her."
Shanhu went to the Yun family while Mother Zhao came to see Xie Jingyu. The princess was very worried. Xie Jingyu had suffered such a serious injury and was afraid that he would have a high fever at night. Fortunately, he was fine.
After Mother Zhao left, Chun'er came in and said, "Prince's Consort, the old lady is ill..."
Tsk tsk.
When the truth was revealed, the prince didn't punish any of them, but the result was even more severe than if he had punished them.
Concubine Wen burst into tears, the Second Madam vomited blood and fainted, and the Old Madam was helped away by the maid at that time. She must have been holding on, because after all, the Second Master and the Old Madam were kept in the dark about the Second Madam's substitution, and it was the Second Madam who did it alone.
The prince sent the real third young master back to the second master's care. The old lady did not love the wrong grandson, so she should act as if nothing had happened. If she showed any other emotion, she would be confessing her crime.
In fact, everyone knew whether the second master and the old lady were involved, but they just didn't reveal it.
Originally, Shen Wan suspected that Xie Jingxi was really dead, and the old lady's illness undoubtedly made this possibility even greater.
The old lady fell ill, and Shen Wan should have gone to visit her, but Xie Jingyu was injured and she was also frightened yesterday, so Shen Wan did not go.
After breakfast, Xie Jingyu didn't want to lie on the bed to recuperate, so Shen Wan accompanied him to the study.
When Chen Li, Prince Yuzhang, Chu Yang and others came to visit Xie Jingyu, he was reading a book.
Chu Yang saw it and said, "You are still reading when you are injured. Brother Jing Yu, are you going to take the imperial examination?"
If he could do something else, he would not read books while recuperating from his injury.
Shen Li asked Shen Wan, "There's a rumor out there that your brother-in-law blocked a knife to save you and fell off a cliff. Is this true?"
Shen Wan nodded slightly.
Chen Li looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "I knew it was right to marry my sister to you."
Chu Yang raised his hand and patted Chen Li's shoulder, whispering, "You didn't invite Brother Jing Yu to your house that time."
Shen Li, “…”
The stage was torn into pieces.
Shen Li fell to the ground.
They were all children of aristocratic families, so they knew what Chen Li was planning, but they saw through it but didn't say it out loud. Besides, Chen Li invited quite a few children of aristocratic families, and treated them to delicious food, drinks and fun activities, so the whole group of people had a great time.
Is it possible to be optimistic about Jingyu but not invite him?
Thinking of Xie Jingyu's unhappy look that day, Chu Yang wanted to laugh. Brother Jingyu must have been pissed off that day.
Chu Yang and Shen Li were talking quietly. Shen Wan didn't know what they were talking about, so she didn't stay to get in the way. "You two can talk to your husband. I'll ask the kitchen to make some cakes and send them over."
After Shen Wan left, Shen Li asked Xie Jingyu, "Do you know who wants to kill you?"
Don't talk about things without evidence, even if Chen Li and Prince Yuzhang are absolutely trustworthy.
Xie Jingyu said, "I will find out."
Prince Yuzhang patted Chen Li's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. The one who failed to kill Brother Jing Yu yesterday is dead."
He was really curious about who wanted to kill Xie Jingyu and become Xie Jingyu's enemy. That must be too crazy.
Chu Yang sat down and said, "I haven't been to the Jingbei Palace for a long time. I'm not used to it yet."
Before Xie Jingyu got married, they would come to see Xie Jingyu at least once every two or three days to drink together. But they haven't come since he got married.
Fortunately, among all the brothers, only Xie Jingyu is married. If they were all married, they would have no one to play with.
It was a rare opportunity to come here, so he sat for a while longer. Chu Yang suppressed a laugh and said, "Brother Jing Yu, how does it feel to be loved by three mothers?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
No one is so gloating.
Prince Yuzhang patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and said, "Be more restrained. Even if Brother Jingyu is injured, he can still teach you a lesson."
Chu Yang said, "Go away, you're talking as if you're not curious."
Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang also looked at Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu really wanted to throw them out of the Jingbei Palace.
Chu Yang said, "Brother Jing Yu's experience at birth was richer than that of an average person in their entire life."
Speaking of Shen Wan, he ordered the small kitchen to make cakes and went back to the inner room.
The bruises on her body were still very painful without any medicine applied. She lay on the small couch, thinking about how Old Madam Zhou died suddenly in her previous life due to "not adapting to the climate and water".
As she had guessed, there was another hidden story behind Madam Zhou's "sudden death". They both went to Beijing, so it didn't make sense that she didn't suffer from acclimatization problems just a few days later in this life.
If something happened to Old Madam Zhou, my second cousin would definitely send someone to tell her as soon as possible. If he didn't send anyone, then Old Madam Zhou would naturally be fine.
Just as she was thinking about it, Mother Xu came in, first reported a few things to Shen Wan, and then stopped talking.
Shen Wan said, “Is there anything that is inconvenient for Mother Xu to say?”
Mother Xu looked at Shen Wan and said with a stiff upper lip, "What happened in the mansion yesterday really surprised this servant. I knew that the ladies in the mansion and Concubine Wen loved the prince very much, but I didn't expect that it was because they all believed that the prince was their son."
"The princess asked me to serve at the Lanxuan Pavilion. Over the years, Concubine Wen and the Second Madam have rewarded me with many gifts and never asked me to harm anyone. That day, when the Crown Prince came home with his prey, I felt that Concubine Wen was truly concerned about him, so I thought of giving her one or two..."
"This servant is loyal to the princess and the prince."
Concubine Wen and the Second Madam never let Mother Xu harm anyone, Shen Wan believed it.
Concubine Wen is so concerned about Xie Jingyu that she has no time to harm him. Mother Xu is in charge of all matters big and small in Zhao Lanxuan, so it is normal for Concubine Wen to reward her.
But that was in the past, and it may not be the same in the future.
That day, Mother Xu reminded Shen Wan to send Concubine Wen away. Shen Wan was unhappy, and Mother Xu could naturally feel it.
Fearing that Chen Wan would misunderstand that she was Concubine Wen's person, Mother Xu quickly came to express her stance, and she must completely break off all ties with Concubine Wen and the Second Madam in the future.
