Chapter 284 Birthmark
I don’t know why Xie Jingyu told the emperor that he wanted to accompany her on a boat trip, but it wouldn’t take long for her to visit her elder sister, so she could go boating after visiting her elder sister.
The next day, after breakfast, Chen Wan took Yinchuan to Wing Chun Temple.
It was unreasonable to be able to visit the eldest sister but not to pay respects to the old lady. In addition, Shen Wan had eaten a lot in the morning, so it would be good to walk more.
Chen Wan was just going to pay her respects and leave, but Xie Zhihuan and the old lady complained that Xie Zhiyao had been getting close to the fourth lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the eldest lady of the Zhao Mansion, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, and that she didn't play with them. Chen Wan was afraid that the fourth lady and Xie Zhiyao would suffer, so she sat down and listened for a while.
Xie Zhiyao was very dissatisfied with Xie Zhihuan and the others for turning the tables on her. "It was clearly you who didn't take me out of the house, but you blame me for being close to them and not inviting you!"
Xie Zhihuan asked, "When did we stop taking you out of the house?"
"That's right. It was you who wanted to stay in the mansion to accompany your sister-in-law and didn't want to leave with us. But now you are confusing right and wrong," Xie Zhirou said unhappily.
They all spoke with the same voice, and it became Xie Zhiyao who slandered them.
These people can't get along with Wei Mingzhu, and they don't want Xie Zhiyao to make friends with Wei Mingzhu because they think they are too narrow-minded.
Xie Zhiyao couldn't argue with them and her eyes were red with anger. The Fourth Madam couldn't help her daughter either. Xie Zhiyao subconsciously looked at Shen Wan, and Shen Wan made a gesture to her.
Xie Zhiyao immediately understood and raised her hand to swear, "There is a god above us. I never said I would stay in the mansion to accompany my sister-in-law. If I don't leave the mansion with you, whoever lies will die miserably!"
Xie Zhihuan said angrily, "It's just a small matter, is it necessary to swear an oath?!"
Xie Zhiyao said, "If you don't dare to swear, just say it."
"you!"
Xie Zhihuan angrily tore the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
One cannot swear a poisonous oath casually. The people who had just accused Xie Zhiyao immediately stopped accusing her.
Chen Wan said, "They say birds of a feather flock together. If your personalities don't match, don't force them to play together. I thought Fourth Sister's personality would be compatible with the Fourth Young Lady of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, so I asked them to take Fourth Sister out to play. Do you have any objections?"
If I had no opinion, I wouldn't say it.
Xie Zhihuan said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law is really good to Fourth Sister."
Chen Wan said, "After all, if the fourth lady hadn't helped me that day, I wouldn't have just sprained my ankle."
Bringing this up again!
It really never ends, does it?!
Xie Zhihuan was so angry that smoke was coming out of her head, but she had nothing to say.
It was true that after that day, Chen Wan and the fourth house became close. However, that incident did not harm Chen Wan, but instead allowed the fourth house to cling to the power of the prince and princess. The fourth master snatched the third master's official position and was promoted twice.
Chen Wan was bored and was about to leave, but the maid came over to take the tea she was drinking away. When she left, she accidentally sprained her ankle and the tea spilled on Chen Wan.
Shen Wan was startled, and Yin Chuan exclaimed, "Crown Princess!"
The Fourth Madam also stood up and scolded the maid, "You are so clumsy. Did you burn the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Shen Wan said, “Fortunately, the tea is not hot.”
If you get burned by boiling hot tea like this, you'll probably lose several layers of skin.
The maid was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, Princess. This servant did not mean to do that..."
The old lady said, "You are so clumsy. Drag him away and give him thirty lashes."
Chen Wan didn't drink a single sip of the tea, and it all spilled over his body, soaking his chest.
Shen Wan was about to leave, but Song Nanyan stopped her and said, "It's too rude to go back like this. You'd better change into a clean dress here with the old lady before leaving."
The old lady said, "Help the Crown Prince's wife go to the inner hall."
It was indeed inappropriate to leave like this, so Shen Wan did not refuse the old lady's arrangement and followed the maid to the inner hall.
The maid brought a clean dress to Chen Wan, but Chen Wan refused and asked the maid to go to Zhao Lanxuan to get it for her.
After waiting for a long time, the maid didn't bring the skirt, and Xie Jingyu came with a cloak.
He wrapped Chen Wan up and carried her away sideways.
Song Nanyan was so angry that she stamped her feet. She just wanted to see if she had a birthmark on her body, but she couldn't even do it.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Why are you here?"
Xie Jingyu looked down at the person in his arms, "Do you have a birthmark?"
Shen Wan, “…”
I'm already pregnant, so it seems too inappropriate to ask this question.
But the fact is that they are both familiar and unfamiliar.
Although this bastard would bother her for a while every night before going to bed, he had never seen her back and really didn't know that she had a thumb-sized birthmark on her lower back.
Shen Wan nodded and asked curiously, "Why are you asking about the birthmark?"
Chen Wan asked her maid to go back and get some clothes. Shanhu heard from her maid that she was accidentally splashed with tea and thought it was scalding hot tea. She was afraid that Chen Wan would suffer, so she quickly reported it to Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu didn't believe that the maid serving in the old lady's room was so clumsy, and he was already worried that people in the palace would guess the relationship between Shen Wan and the emperor, so he rushed over.
There must be a purpose for making Chen Wan change clothes at the old lady's place, so Xie Jingyu asked if Chen Wan had a birthmark on her body.
I didn't expect it really exists.
This is to confirm Shen Wan's identity through the birthmark.
Knowing that Princess Jin had given birth to a child, and even knowing the birthmark on the child, there was no doubt that the assassin who killed Princess Jin must have been sent by the Queen Mother and Queen Song.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Does anyone know that you have a birthmark?"
Chen Wan said, "My parents must know, and so do Shanhu and the others..."
"They don't count."
"That's gone."
Xie Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but it was too early. Shen Wan added, "And there is Prince Cheng's concubine..."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "How could she know?"
Shen Wan said, “I didn’t know she was a fake cousin before. We lived and ate together for a year and a half…”
Shen Ti entered the mansion under the identity of Ye Caiwei. Because she was afraid, she lived with her and slept in the same bed. Who would have thought that she was actually the second master's illegitimate daughter.
Looking at Shen Wan's clear eyes, Xie Jingyu felt powerless.
Never mind, Queen Song and the Queen Mother will definitely find ways to find out what they want to know. He can help Shen Wan escape today, but he may not be able to escape the next time.
The emperor had always doted on Chen Wan, and now that he knew she was his and Lin Qingyin's daughter, he would surely dote on her even more. They were both allergic to pecans, so he would love her even more. Empress Song and the empress dowager could guess this without even looking at the birthmark.
Afraid that Chen Wan would be suspicious, Xie Jingyu said, "It's okay to know."
Chen Wan went back to change her dress, and Xie Jingyu sent Chen Wan to the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion.
Song Nanyue didn't see whether there was a birthmark on Shen Wan's lower back, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet, but even if she didn't see it, she had to go to the palace to report to Queen Song.
Seeing Song Nanyan coming, Queen Song thought it was her hand, "Do you have a birthmark?"
Song Nanyan shook her head and said, "My plan was interrupted by the Prince of Jingbei. I didn't see anything..."
This is so weird, how come all the calculations are useless when it comes to the Prince Consort of Jingbei?!
Empress Song was so angry that she served tea to calm herself down. Then a palace maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, the wife of the Marquis of Wucheng is here..."
A hint of disgust flashed in Queen Song's eyes.
But after all, she was the niece-in-law of the wife of Duke Song, so Queen Song still gave her some face.
"Let her in."
The maid left, and soon after, Shen Wu walked in, bowed to Queen Song, and said, "The Queen asked me about the matter yesterday. I asked Prince Cheng's concubine about it. Prince Jingbei's wife has a birthmark..."
Queen Song quickly asked, "Where is the birthmark?"
"In the lower back."
"How old?"
"About the size of a thumb."
Queen Song's expression suddenly changed.
His expression was so ugly that even Song Nanyue felt frightened when she saw it, not to mention Chen Wu.
