Chapter 276 Mutual
As usual, Shen Wan had breakfast and strolled to pay his respects to the old lady.
As soon as she entered, everyone in the room looked at her.
Shen Wan walked forward calmly and bowed to the old lady. Xie Zhihuan asked, "Sister-in-law, are you the biological child of Duke Dingguo?"
Full of malice.
Shen Wan was not a pushover either, so she smiled and replied, "Is your knee injury healed, Miss?"
Come on, let’s hurt each other.
However, Xie Zhihuan only injured Chen Wan, while Chen Wan knocked over Xie Zhihuan, Song Nanyue and the others on the boat with one stick.
Although I have been resting for two days, my knees still hurt when I walk for a while.
Xie Zhihuan gritted her teeth and said, "As expected, empty learning can't bring wind."
Chen Wan chuckled, "Why? If I weren't my parents' biological child, would the Jingbei Palace divorce me and kick me out of the palace?"
Xie Zhihuan and the others were almost choked to death by this one sentence.
I thought I could rub salt into Chen Wan's wounds and let them vent their anger, but with Chen Wan's arrogant attitude, it would be strange if he wasn't their biological child.
The princess arrived late today. When she walked in, no one dared to mention the matter again, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Wan sat for a while and then went back to Zhaolanxuan.
After returning home and drinking a cup of tea, Chun'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, the Duke's wife is here."
Chen Wan knew that Yun would come to see her today, so she immediately put down the teacup and stood up to greet her.
Seeing Chen Wan smiling and walking quickly, Yun's heart was pounding, "People with double bodies, be more steady..."
Shen Wan asked, "Why is mother here?"
Yun didn't know how to answer the question.
Yesterday, the couple made her and Shen Ji unable to sleep well all night. Fearing that Shen Wan would be affected, she came to Jingbei Palace early in the morning to comfort Shen Wan.
But looking at Shen Wan's expression, she didn't seem to be affected, but instead seemed to be unstable as a mother.
Yun said, "It's okay..."
Shen Wan asked, "Mom, are you afraid that I'll believe the rumors on the street?"
Yun couldn't deny it, "Mother and your father are indeed a little worried."
Chen Wan hugged Yun's arm and said, "Before the old lady was executed, she deliberately provoked and said that her daughter was not her parents' biological child, but her daughter didn't take it seriously..."
Yun was shocked and his eyes were cold.
Even though the old lady's head and body were already separated, Yun Shi still wanted to dig her out and whip her corpse.
Fortunately, my daughter didn’t believe it.
Yun touched Shen Wan's face and said, "Wan'er is smart and won't be instigated by others. It's your mother and father who are worrying too much."
When Yun came to the Jingbei Palace, she must go to see the princess. Today she came not only to comfort Shen Wan, but also to worry that those malicious people in the Jingbei Palace would believe the rumors that Shen Wan was not her and Shen Ji's biological child and hurt Shen Wan.
The mother and daughter walked forward talking and laughing, and every servant passing by looked at them with a sidelong glance.
How could anyone say that the Crown Prince's Consort is not the biological daughter of Duke Dingguo's wife? Even though they don't look much alike, it's obvious that they are mother and daughter.
Knowing that Yun was coming, the princess came out to greet her and said with a smile, "The mother-daughter relationship between my mother-in-law and Wan'er is truly enviable."
Yun smiled and said, "I love Wan'er, and the Duke loves her even more than I do."
"The Duke is always calm. Wan'er is pregnant, and he's worried that rumors will spread and affect Wan'er's mood, so he wants to get to the bottom of it right away."
The prince and princess did not believe or care that Shen Wan was not the biological child of Shen Ji and Yun.
Chen Wan was the Crown Princess chosen by Xie Jingyu himself. If the prince and princess cared about the identity of the Crown Princess of Jingbei Palace and whose daughter she was, they would not give Xie Jingyu the right to choose freely.
With the power and status of the Jingbei Palace, there is no need for marriage. If Xie Jingyu cannot marry someone he likes and spend his life with him, this power and status is meaningless.
Of course, not every girl can be married.
The son-in-law does not hold military power, but military power is the foundation of the Jingbei Palace.
Marrying the princess means giving up the position of crown prince, which is absolutely impossible.
The princess invited Yun into the house for a cup of tea, and then went to the garden to admire the flowers for a while. Knowing that Yun and Shen Wan and her daughter wanted to have a private conversation, the princess went about her own business.
Yun Shi came to comfort Shen Wan. She was relieved that Shen Wan was fine and did not stay any longer. Shen Wan wanted to see her out of the house, but Yun Shi refused because she was afraid that she would be tired. Shen Wan insisted on seeing her off. "My daughter is not pregnant yet, so why can't she walk? Isn't it said that she is heavier and needs to walk more to facilitate the birth?"
Yun smiled angrily, "Okay, mother will let you send it off."
Shen Wan took Yun's arm and sent her out of the house.
Just as he walked out of the door and was about to send Yun to the carriage, he heard the sound of horse hooves from the other side. Shen Wan glanced over and saw Shen Li's follower Shunan riding towards him.
Shunan tightened the reins, dismounted, and said, "Madam, it's bad! The Crown Prince and the Marquis of Wucheng's son had a fight in Deyue Tower, and the Marquis of Wucheng's son had his nose broken..."
Yun had a headache.
Yun Shi was not surprised that Chen Li and the Marquis of Wucheng had a fight, and neither was Chen Wan.
Just because the son of Marquis Wucheng was a homosexual, Princess Jiangling almost jumped into his trap. Chen Li wanted to beat him up when he saw the son of Marquis Wucheng.
Both Shen Ji and Yun knew their son well and repeatedly warned him, and Shen Li also promised them not to have a conflict with the Marquis of Wucheng's son. However, Princess Jiangling beat the Marquis of Wucheng's son before she even entered the house.
But Shen Wan felt that this time it should not be Princess Jiangling.
If my eldest brother wanted to beat up the Prince of Wucheng, he would have done so a long time ago, not wait until today.
Shen Wan asked, "Why did big brother fight with the prince of Wucheng Marquis?"
Shunan replied, "The Marquis of Wucheng deliberately provoked the Crown Prince, saying that you, the Crown Princess, are not the Duke's wife's biological daughter, and not the Crown Prince's biological sister. The Crown Prince couldn't help but beat him up..."
"I want a beating!"
These two words represent Chen Wan's attitude.
Shunan nodded repeatedly.
He was just asking for a beating. The Crown Prince had been tolerating the Marquis of Wucheng's son for a long time, but the Duke and the Duke's wife did not allow him to fight with the Marquis of Wucheng's son, so the Crown Prince had been tolerating it again and again.
The Prince of Wucheng actually dared to say that the second aunt was not his biological sister. Even the Duke couldn't stand it, so the Prince would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
If the Prince of Yuzhang and the others had not stopped him, the Crown Prince would definitely have beaten the Crown Prince of Wucheng Marquis to the ground and made him unable to get up.
Just breaking the nose was already a mercy.
Yun sighed.
The house finally became quiet and I thought I could spend a few days in peace, but I didn't expect that outside the house would become uneasy again and things happened one after another.
That couple must be the second wife's mischief.
They are the only ones in this world who know that Wan'er is not her and Shen Ji's biological child and dare to reveal it.
Shen Wan said, "Mother, my elder brother fought with the prince of Wucheng Hou for me. You and father should not punish him."
Yun said, "Your eldest brother is doing this for you, but not just for you. This matter cannot be hidden from your father."
"mother……"
Yun patted Chen Wan's hand and said, "This is about you. Your father couldn't help his temper and wouldn't punish your eldest brother too severely. After all, he broke someone's nose, so he has to pretend to do something."
This made Chen Wan feel relieved.
When Yun got on the carriage, she remembered something she hadn't said. She lifted the curtain and told Shen Wan, "Last time you ate the wrong thing in the palace, it really scared your mother and father. The Queen Mother will have her birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. You are pregnant, so don't go to the palace."
