Chapter 231 Expulsion
Fortunately, Xie Jingyu didn't say anything, otherwise she would have wanted to hide in the ground.
These days, whenever Xie Jingyu gets up, Chen Wan helps him apply medicine and change clothes. She was clumsy before, but now she is much more skilled.
She put on the brocade robe in no time, and then Shanhu Yinchuan came over to help her dress and wash.
After breakfast, Chen Wan went to Wing Chun Temple to pay his respects to the old lady. The old lady had to visit her morning and evening, so Chen Wan had to come, as a way to digest the food after dinner.
The old lady hadn’t seen her before, but this time she saw her and asked Shen Wan, “Is the prince’s injury healed?”
Although he was concerned, his eyes were cold and without warmth.
These people used to love Xie Jingyu because they thought he was their own son and grandson, and they loved him from the bottom of their hearts. Now they don’t even have time to hate him, so how could they really care about him?
Xie Jingyu was really unlucky. He was stolen at birth. If the prince hadn't been vigilant, no one would know where he was now.
Shen Wan said, "My husband was injured and saw the imperial physician yesterday. The imperial physician said that he is recovering well."
"As long as you're okay, you've been married to the prince for some time. Once he recovers, you can bring a son or daughter to the Jingbei Palace as soon as possible."
As the old lady spoke, her eyes swept across the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on Shen Wan’s wrist.
Shen Wan sneered in his heart. On the one hand, he wanted to kill her offspring, and on the other hand, he told her to have a child as soon as possible. It was simply disgusting.
The Third Madam was also there, and she sighed, "I never thought the old lady of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion could be so cruel and ruthless. Fortunately, the truth will come out one day."
The old lady of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is cruel and ruthless, but the people in the Prince Jingbei's Mansion are not much better.
When the prince revealed the truth about the baby swap, Concubine Wen, the second wife, and the old lady all fell seriously ill. If the baby swap had not been successful, they would not have been so devastated.
She really wanted to know whether her and Xie Jingyu's guess was true.
Chen Wan smiled faintly, "The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."
The old lady leaned on the big welcoming pillow, looking at the look in Shen Wan's eyes when he spoke, and felt a sense of inexplicable fear in her heart.
She waved her hand and said, "I'm tired, please leave."
Chen Wanfu left.
After leaving Wing Chun Courtyard, Shen Wan went to Liuli Courtyard. The princess was still sick and had lost a lot of weight in recent days. This time she was sick for a long time, and Mother Zhao was no longer as calm as before.
But he invited the imperial physician into the house, and after drinking bowl after bowl of medicine, there was no improvement at all.
The princess said, "Don't worry. There have been times in the past when I've been sick for a month."
Mother Zhao said, "How come you don't know what disease you have?"
Shen Wan said, "My mother is blessed with a long life, and nothing will happen to her."
The princess was indeed blessed with good fortune. Her origins were unknown, but she was adopted as a daughter and married to the prince. Although she suffered some hardships at the beginning and was even divorced, the outcome was good after all.
With the prince's protection, she used one tactic to save the prince and also protected the princess for twenty years.
The princess also heard about what happened in the Duke Dingguo Mansion and said, "The Duke Dingguo Mansion has been plagued by rumors, but fortunately, it will be quiet from now on."
When the princess heard the word "peaceful", there was longing in her eyes.
Although the Jingbei Palace was very harmonious in the past, no matter how harmonious it was, conflicts were inevitable when there were so many people. Moreover, this harmony was false from the beginning.
It is unknown when the Jingbei Palace will be able to find peace and quiet.
Xie Jingyu’s injuries had mostly recovered, so Shen Wan was in no hurry to go back, so she stayed with the princess for a while longer.
I left the Liuli Courtyard, cut some branches in the garden, and went back to arrange the flowers. When I entered the yard, I saw several maids gathered together, and I didn't know what they were whispering about.
When Coral saw it, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
Chun'er said, "The old lady was imprisoned in the death row of the Ministry of Justice. She suffered a stroke. I heard that her mouth is crooked and half of her body can't move..."
Shen Wan was startled at first, but then thought it was normal.
The old lady has been ill recently and her health has always been poor. She has enjoyed a life of wealth and glory, but suddenly she fell into the quagmire and became a rat in the gutter, being chased by everyone. How could the old lady bear this blow?
But this retribution came too late. The old lady had enjoyed wealth and glory for more than 30 years. It would be too easy for her to die like this.
Shen Wan returned to the house, found a vase, and put the flowers she had picked in the vase.
Just when he was halfway through, Chun'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, Fourth Aunt... Prince Cheng's concubine is here."
Chun'er was halfway through her report when she realized that the second branch had been driven out of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and that Chen Ti was no longer the fourth aunt of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so she changed her title.
Hearing that Shen Ti was coming, Shen Wan frowned.
She had no contact with Shen Ti. Because of the incident of Shen Ti's illegitimate daughter pretending to be her cousin, she and Shen Ti had semi-cut off contact, and no one could blame her for anything.
Shen Ti also knew that she didn't like her, so why did she come to Jingbei Palace to find her? Could it be because the old lady was imprisoned?
Shen Wan didn't think Shen Ti had the nerve to ask her to intercede and release the old lady. This was impossible.
After all, she is the concubine of King Cheng, the one who has been crowned with the Royal Jade Butterfly. She can ignore Shen Ti, but she cannot disrespect the concubine of King Cheng.
Shen Wan said, "Please ask the concubine of King Cheng to wait for me in the main hall."
Chen Wan finished arranging the remaining half of the flowers before slowly getting up.
In the main hall, Shen Ti was pacing, and when she saw Shen Wan come in, she said, "Why can't I visit my grandmother in prison?!"
He really thinks highly of her. Shen Wan laughed and said, “Do you think I can give such an order to the Minister of Justice?”
Shen Ti's throat choked, "It was my uncle who gave the order!"
Shen Wan said, “You know it was my father’s order, and you still come to me.”
If she could find Shen Ji, she would not come to the Jingbei Palace.
Shen Ji went to court early in the morning, then went to the military camp, and it was already evening when he returned home.
It was impossible for her to wait in Duke Dingguo's Mansion forever, and even if she waited, Shen Ji might not see her.
She had no choice but to come to Shen Wan.
But Shen Wan didn't want to pay attention to her. Shen Ti said, "Even if grandma did something wrong, she raised my uncle after all. Even if she didn't have any merits, she still worked hard. My uncle actually put grandma in jail. It's too mean..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Wan's face turned cold, "Someone! Get her out!"
Shanhu was also filled with righteous indignation after hearing this. She couldn't hold back and immediately shouted after Shen Wan said something, "Get a broom and chase him away!"
Shen Ti's expression changed again and again, "How dare you? I'm the concubine of King Cheng!"
Chen Wan smiled coldly, "Don't say you are just the concubine of King Cheng, you are the Princess of Cheng today, and I will definitely drive you away."
"If you have the guts, go before the Emperor and make a scene. I want to see whether the Emperor will punish you for not knowing right from wrong, or punish me for disrespecting the royal family!"
Chun'er and Xia'er took the broom and hit Chen Ti without any hesitation.
Shen Ti was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she left quickly.
The two maids followed behind and when Shen Ti was leaving the courtyard, she tripped and fell directly down the steps, and the pearl hairpin on her head fell to the ground.
In the study.
Xie Jingyu was reading a book and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Chen Ping came in and said, "Prince Cheng's concubine annoyed the Crown Prince's wife, so she had the maidservant chase her out with a broom."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
"Do you want to take care of it?" Chen Ping asked.
Xie Jingyu frowned, "Didn't the Crown Prince's Consort chase them away?"
Chen Ping, “…”
have to.
It's unnecessary to ask.
What the Crown Prince meant was that the Crown Princess's men had not driven out Prince Cheng's concubine, so he wanted him to drive her out again.
