Chapter 252 Support
The princess had a gentle personality, but she actually betrayed the maidservant beside the second wife. Shen Wan was really curious about what the maidservant had done wrong.
Yinchuan has already asked someone to inquire about it.
Shen Wan had just finished lunch when he found out what had happened.
Related to the fourth room.
To be precise, it was the Second Wife who was making things difficult for the Fourth Wife.
On the day when the Prince of Wucheng married Chen Wu, the Second Madam did not allow the Fourth Madam to attend the wedding banquet, but the Fourth Madam chose to listen to the Princess.
The pavilion in the North Courtyard Garden was being repaired that day, and it was leaking lightly. After the repair, it rained as heavily inside as it did outside.
When the princess heard about this, she asked Mother Zhao to find out how the servant had built the pavilion.
The servant confessed that it was Sui'er, the maidservant beside the second lady, who instructed him to do so, and he dared not disobey.
The servants in the mansion know how to serve the right dishes. The fourth wife is a concubine's daughter, so how could the servant dare not listen to the maidservant around the second wife and had to do as she said.
The princess called the second wife, but she would definitely not admit it and put all the blame on Sui'er, saying that it was Sui'er who acted on her own.
In the past, the palace was harmonious, and the princess would turn a blind eye to some things. But ever since she found out that Concubine Wen and the Second Lady coveted the throne of the Crown Prince and were trying to replace him with another, she no longer had any good feelings towards them.
She bullied the fourth wife and treated her, the princess, as a fool. The princess was really angry. Since the maid acted on her own, she was beaten with a stick and sold off.
The Second Madam wanted to protect Sui'er, but the Princess said, "No wonder the maidservant beside the Second Sister-in-law is so bold. This maidservant who acted on her own initiative was punished by me, and you still want to protect her?!"
The Second Madam will definitely do her best to protect the maid. The maid works for her. If she really lets the princess cane and sell her off, the maids around her will never dare to listen to her again.
This is a matter of prestige and must be protected.
The Second Madam said, "I know the maid should be punished for acting on her own initiative, but she is my maid, so if anyone needs to be punished, it should be me..."
The princess said, "This is the Jingbei Palace. Just because I don't care about the affairs of the other courtyards doesn't mean I don't have the right to intervene. A little maidservant has reached out to the Fourth House and caused chaos. In the eyes of my second brother and his wife, the reputation of the Fourth House is less important than a little maidservant."
The Second Lady knew that the princess was serious, so she pleaded, "Sui'er is loyal to me. The punishment of caning and selling her is too severe. Let's just send her to the farm..."
The princess said, "I didn't scold you for not being strict with your subordinates. I punished the maid according to the house rules. Why do you say it again? Second Madam, do you have any objections to the house rules of the palace?"
If he pleaded for the maid again, the princess would not only punish the maid, but also her second wife.
The second wife did not dare to protect the maid anymore, so the princess had Sui'er dragged away.
If Sui'er had confessed early, the princess would not have punished her so severely. If she took the blame and expected the second lady to save her, that would be an underestimation of her as the princess.
Sui'er was beaten with thirty sticks and dragged to the front yard to be sold.
The fourth room chose to listen to the princess, and was therefore targeted by the second wife. If the princess didn't know, it would be fine, but now that she knew, how could she not stand up for the fourth room and expose the problem in the pavilion? Not only did she cause trouble for the fourth room, but she also lost a trusted maid, and made the fourth room trust the eldest room even more. I have never seen anyone so stupid.
The reason why the Second Lady did such a thing was that the Fourth Lady had always tolerated it and would not say a word even if she suffered a little loss. She did not expect that the Fourth Lady would dare to tell the princess this time.
With the princess's support, the fourth room became bolder.
After leaving Liuliyuan, the Second Madam's face was longer than a horse's.
After lunch, Chen Wan felt a little sleepy and prepared to take a nap. When she was undressing, she saw the gold bracelet on her wrist, took it off and handed it to Shanhu.
Shanhu asked, "Isn't the Crown Prince's Consort wearing it anymore?"
"I won't wear it anymore."
She wore this bracelet to prevent the old lady and others from using other methods to harm her. Now that she is pregnant, they already know that the bracelet has no effect and it is useless to wear it. Why should she wear it again?
She has so many beautiful bracelets, and she can finally wear whichever one she wants.
Chen Wan slept for half an hour, and the rash on her face had disappeared by half by the evening. Before going to sleep, she drank another bowl of medicine.
After Shen Wan finished drinking the medicine, Shanhu took the medicine bowl out, and Xie Jingyu came back after taking a bath.
The two went to bed.
When sleeping during the day, Xie Jingyu sleeps very well without being held in my arms, but he feels uncomfortable without being held in my arms at night, which is strange.
Shen Wan was lying in Xie Jingyu's arms, and Xie Jingyu was in great pain.
He suspected that the person in his arms did it on purpose.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Are you deliberately torturing me?"
Feeling something pressing against him, Shen Wan silently shrank back, "I don't have it!"
Xie Jingyu hugged her and said, "Okay, let's sleep like this."
Shen Wan pulled it back together again.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Shen Wan swore that she really didn't mean to torture him, she just wanted to find a good position.
Xie Jingyu said weakly, "Don't hide things from me in the future."
"I'm keeping it from you."
"really?"
"real."
Xie Jingyu looked into Chen Wan's eyes and asked, "What's going on with the jade pendant?"
Shen Wan, “…”
The slap in the face came so quickly.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, Xie Jingyu said, "Can't you tell me?"
It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I dare not.
She was afraid that if she told Xie Jingyu, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. Although she had only had physical contact with the owner of the jade pendant in her previous life, she had thought about finding someone else to bear two children in her previous life. If Xie Jingyu knew about this, how could he not be angry?
But Xie Jingyu knew that she was looking for the jade pendant, and she would definitely not tell him.
Chen Wan could only half-truthfully say, "I dreamed that I picked up that jade pendant. I thought it might be very important, so I drew it and planned to look for it. But I didn't expect that the jade pendant belonged to the prince of Gaoyang in Dongliang..."
Xie Jingyu looked into Chen Wan's eyes. Although Chen Wan did not dodge his gaze, he knew that the jade pendant was not that simple.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Why don't you look for it again?"
He remembered that after he vomited blood in anger, the drawing was crumpled up by Chen Wan and thrown on the small table.
Chen Wan said, "This, this is not because we broke up, no one helped me find it, so I didn't, I didn't look for it..."
They had a falling out, but there was still the Dingguo Mansion and the Yun family, who could help her find it.
Moreover, he could vaguely guess how shocked she was when she saw the jade pendant in the palace today.
It's just that there are some things that Chen Wan dare not say, and Xie Jingyu dare not ask.
He was waiting for Shen Wan to take the initiative to tell him about the things in his previous life, hoping that day would not keep him waiting for long.
"Go to sleep."
Xie Jingyu held the person in his arms and spoke softly.
Shen Wan wanted to sleep, but after saying these few words, she couldn't fall asleep.
Just as she was trying to fall asleep, Xie Jingyu suddenly spoke, "The half jade pendant I picked up that day, is it yours?"
Shen Wan's eyes, which were almost blurry, suddenly widened, and then a certain gentleman's jaw was hurt again.
Shen Wan didn't care about the pain in her head. She sat up and asked in surprise, "My jade pendant is with you?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It was there before, but it's gone now."
The joy on Shen Wan's face froze, "You threw it away?"
"Where did you throw it?"
Seeing Shen Wan's anxious voice, he looked like he wanted to pick it up late at night.
Xie Jingyu said, "It's just half a jade pendant, is it so important?"
