Chapter 265 Heartbreaking
Three days passed in a flash.
After resting for two days, he did not go to pay his respects to the old lady. After breakfast that day, Shen Wan took Shanhu to Wing Chun Temple.
When Shen Wan arrived, the room was full of people, including the princess and Concubine Wen.
Shen Wan stepped forward and bowed to the old lady. Song Nanyue looked at Shen Wan with a smile on her face, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law come to pay her respects to the old lady in the past two days. Are you not feeling well?"
...This means that she is disrespectful to the old lady and doesn't even come to visit her morning and evening.
The old lady is not the prince's biological mother. As a pregnant princess, isn't it enough for her to come every now and then?
Shen Wan knew that she and Song Nanyan could not get along well, but she didn't want to find fault with her as soon as she entered the door.
Even if she came to pay her respects to the old lady every day, Song Nanyue would not gain any weight.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I'm sorry that Second Young Madam missed me, but the courtyard we live in is close to each other. If Second Young Madam misses me, she can come and sit with me."
She is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Jingbei Palace and is pregnant. If she really feels unwell, she will definitely call a doctor.
Not only was he kept out of touch with the news, but he also played tricks on her. If he really cared about her, he could have gone and asked her since he was so close to her, instead of asking her with such malicious intent two days later in front of the old lady and a room full of people.
Chen Wan was determined to keep her distance from Song Nanyan, but since the other person had ulterior motives, she would not give in.
Concubine Wen said sarcastically, "A pregnant woman's body is precious, how can she come to pay her respects to the old lady every day?"
The Second Madam said, "As long as the fetus is not disturbed, it's better to walk more, which will help with delivery."
You said something and I said something, without saying it explicitly, but we were all putting pressure on Shen Wan to come and pay respect to the old lady morning and evening.
Shen Wan looked at the princess, and the princess said gently, "Some of what the concubine and the second wife said can still be listened to. They didn't suffer much during their pregnancy, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to send their children to the mother's knees."
Shen Wan, “…”
The princess seldom says anything that hurts people's feelings.
But once it is said, it will have the power of thousands of arrows piercing your heart.
Concubine Wen and the Second Madam's faces turned pale, and Shen Wan was worried that they would vomit blood in anger.
Not only Concubine Wen and the Second Madam, the old lady's face also changed from green to red and purple. She slammed the teacup in her hand heavily on the small table. Shen Wan thought it was not a big deal, "Then I will ask Concubine Wen and Second Aunt for advice. I hope you can teach me more."
Concubine Wen and the Second Lady both had a taste of blood in their mouths.
It just so happened that they were the ones who started this incident, and they deserved to be stabbed in the heart.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Nanyan quickly changed the subject and said to the princess, "Yesterday, my husband and I went to the palace to pay our respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother praised the concubine for teaching my husband well and wanted to meet the concubine. She also wanted to let her come to the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet..."
The prince did not allow Concubine Wen to enter the palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday, so they used the empress dowager to put pressure on the prince.
Do you think you can hurt the princess's heart by doing this?
The princess didn't care at all.
The princess smiled and said, "The Queen Mother wants the concubine to come to the palace to celebrate her birthday. How can the prince and I disagree?"
Xie Zhirou sat down next to the old lady and said, "Grandma, we want to go out for a walk."
The old lady smiled and said, "Go if you want."
Xie Zhirou looked at Song Nanyan, "Will Second Sister-in-law go?"
Song Nanyan said, "Of course I did. Are you going out shopping without me?"
Xie Zhihuan said, "Second sister-in-law must have misunderstood. Second sister asked this because eldest sister-in-law never goes out shopping with us."
Song Nanyan looked at Shen Wan and said, "There are so many people shopping, why doesn't sister-in-law join them?"
If you don't want to, you don't want to.
Do these people really like forcing others to do things they don’t like?
But these words could not be said, so Shen Wan could only pull out Xie Jingyu as a shield, "My husband won't let me."
"Why don't you allow it, brother?" Xie Zhiqing asked.
Chen Wan said, "I've been assassinated several times, and the assassin hasn't been caught yet. I'm going out for a walk, and I'm worried about my husband not accompanying me. I want to go with you, so that if we run into an assassin, we won't get you into trouble."
Xie Zhihuan asked, "There are so many ladies from prominent families in Kyoto, why is it that only you, my sister-in-law, are repeatedly targeted by assassinations?"
Shen Wan didn't like what she heard, as if she had done something wrong to the assassin and that was why she was assassinated. He almost said that she deserved it.
Shen Wan is now in a bad temper, and can’t stand these grievance arrangements at all, “Doesn’t the eldest girl know?”
Xie Zhihuan asked, "How would I know?"
Shen Wan said, "I didn't provoke you, but you also want my life, don't you? Maybe the assassin wants to kill me for the same reason as you."
Now Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others looked unhappy.
Fortunately, at this time, the maid came to the rescue, "Miss, the carriage is ready."
Xie Zhihuan and the others quickly got up and left.
It is no exaggeration to say that they fled in panic.
After Song Nanyan and the others left, the room became deserted, and Shen Wan and the princess left Wing Chun Court together.
Chen Wan accompanied the princess to appreciate the flowers in the garden for a while, and then returned to Zhaolanxuan.
The brocade robe for Xie Jingyu was not ready yet, so Shen Wan continued.
When lunch was almost over, Chun'er came in and said, "The Second Young Mistress and the eldest daughter went out shopping today and gave each of them a piece of jewelry..."
Shanhu Yinchuan all looked at Chen Wan.
The Second Young Madam is so generous, the older girls will definitely say that the Crown Prince's Consort is stingy.
Even Shanhu Yinchuan had anticipated this, let alone Chen Wan. However, Chen Wan was not afraid of what they said. Those people were not afraid of being called vicious, so why would she be afraid of being called stingy?
But what Chen Wan didn't expect was that Song Nanyue not only gave jewelry to Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others, but also gave her.
In the evening, Shen Wan was feeding fish in the pavilion when the maid said, "Prince's Consort, the Second Young Madam is here."
Shen Wan turned around and saw Song Nanyan coming over with her maid.
Shen Wan stood up and asked in surprise, "Why is the Second Young Madam here?"
Song Nanyan smiled and said, "As my sister-in-law said, Qingfengxuan and Zhaolanxuan are close to each other, so it is convenient to travel back and forth."
She stretched out her hand, and the maid handed her a brocade box.
Song Nanyan said, "It's a pity that my sister-in-law didn't go shopping with us today. I saw a jade hairpin that I thought was particularly suitable for you, so I bought it."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially since he came to give her a gift.
But he was picking on her while giving her things.
It was hard for Chen Wan not to worry that there were pitfalls here.
But she couldn't refuse someone's kindness, so she took the brocade box, opened it, took a look, and said with a smile, "It is indeed beautiful. I also have a jade hairpin that would suit you."
"Shanhu, bring me my red hibiscus hairpin."
Soon Shanhu took out the red jade hairpin and handed it to Song Nanyan.
Song Nanyan didn't refuse and accepted it generously, "Since my sister-in-law thinks it suits me, then I will accept it."
"I'm sorry to bother my sister-in-law with her fish feeding pleasure, so I'll go back first."
She turned and left, looking at the brocade box in her hand, a triumphant smile on her lips.
