Chapter 292: Injustice
The old lady was stripped of her imperial title and fell ill in anger. It was only right and proper to visit her.
Xie Jingyu was originally going to accompany Chen Wan, but before leaving, the prince called Xie Jingyu away, so Chen Wan went alone. Anyway, the old lady would not see her even if she went.
When she went out, she learned that Princess Qing had come to the Jingbei Palace, but when Shen Wan arrived at Yongchun Courtyard, Princess Qing had already left.
Shen Wan thought the old lady would not see her, but she was wrong and the old lady let her into the house.
Maybe, perhaps, he had just met Princess Qing, and it would be bad not to see her.
Although Shen Wan didn’t want to see the old lady, but since she was here and the old lady wanted to see her, she had no choice but to go into the house.
Inside the room, the old lady leaned on a large pillow, her face haggard and her eyes cold.
In the room, besides Mother Wu, there were only two maids serving on the side.
Seeing Shen Wan coming in, the old lady raised her hand, and Mother Wu asked the two maids to leave.
I have something to say to her.
Shen Wanfu bowed to the old lady and said, "The old lady is not feeling well. I brought some supplements for you. I hope the old lady will recover soon."
The old lady's eyes were fixed on Shen Wan's face. "The Emperor has taken away my imperial decree. Are you and the Crown Prince satisfied?"
Shen Wan frowned, “Where did you get this from, old lady?”
The old lady smiled coldly, "Didn't you and the prince put that packet of antidote in my room?!"
Chen Wan said, "My husband and I, considering your advanced age and the fact that the Emperor had taken away your imperial edict, will not pursue the matter of you poisoning the Second Young Madam and framing me. Why are you turning the tables on me?"
The old lady was so angry that she breathed in more than she breathed out, "I'm blaming you for something else?!"
Shen Wan said confidently, "My husband left the house early yesterday morning. The Second Young Mistress was poisoned and vomiting blood in the palace. The Queen Mother asked me to get out of the palace. How could my husband and I get the antidote to Wing Chun Courtyard?"
The old lady didn't expect Shen Wan to deny it to the death, "You and the prince are not here, but there are still secret guards!"
She even knew there were secret guards. Chen Wan said indifferently, "Since the old lady knew that my husband had secret guards, she should know that if my husband and I really wanted to do something to the Second Young Madam, or to you, old lady, there would be no need to resort to such a stupid method as poisoning."
The word "stupid" was pronounced especially clearly.
The old lady was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. "Even if you didn't poison her, where's the antidote?"
Shen Wan said, "The old lady must be confused because of anger. If I didn't poison her, how could I have an antidote?"
The old lady stared at Shen Wan with a dead look in her eyes. Shen Wan had a faint smile on her face, which made the old lady so angry that her internal organs ached.
"Madam, rest in peace. I will come to visit you another day."
After bowing, Shen Wan turned and left.
The old lady was angry when she saw Shen Wan, and then she became even angrier when she saw Shan Hu following behind Shen Wan.
Not to mention Chen Wan, they couldn't even get rid of a maidservant around Chen Wan.
Shanhu was only beaten with twenty boards, and Song Nanyue's two maids were beaten. Princess Shouzhen came to support Song Nanyue and was carried back to the palace with injuries.
Chen Wan was fine, but in the end her imperial decree was taken away for no apparent reason!
The old lady's chest was blocked and she couldn't breathe, so Mother Wu hurried to help her breathe.
Coming out of Wing Chun Temple, Chen Wan walked slowly, taking a leisurely stroll, feeling extremely comfortable.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Shanhu looked over there at a figure in luxurious attire, her eyes widening, "Didn't Princess Qing leave?"
Shen Wan turned around and saw Princess Qing coming from the direction of Wing Chun Court.
Princess Qing did not leave and stayed in the old lady's room.
The old lady asked her in and questioned her about how she and Xie Jingyu hid the antidote in her room, which she had told Princess Qing.
At that time, there were only her, the old lady, Mother Wu and Shanhu in the room. If she was careless, she might have admitted it.
As long as she admitted it, Princess Qing would immediately report to the Queen Mother. Even if it was the Emperor who took away the old lady's imperial edict, the Queen Mother would put pressure on the Emperor to restore the old lady's imperial edict.
And she——
Not only did he poison Song Nanyue, he also framed the old lady and caused the emperor to wrongly accuse people.
If this matter gets out, not only her father and Xie Jingyu, but even the emperor will not be able to protect her.
For such a vicious person, even if she was pregnant, the Queen Mother would not beat her, but would ask the prince and princess to demote her from the Crown Prince's wife to a concubine. In short, she would not let her off easily.
Shanhu reacted and felt a chill down her spine. "Fortunately, the Crown Princess was alert..."
It's not that she's being cautious, it's just that she's not that stupid.
Why should she admit something that she doesn't need to admit?
Wouldn't it be better to insist that you don't know and leave the old lady with no place to vent her anger?
But she didn't expect that these people failed in their plot against her, had their imperial edict taken away, and were cheated out of tens of thousands of taels of silver. They didn't repent and continued to make trouble. Chen Wan's violent temper was really intolerable.
Does the old lady feel that the imperial edict was taken away from her unjustly?
Then let her be taken away without any injustice!
When Shen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan and entered the courtyard, Qiu'er came up to her and said, "Princess, the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion just sent wedding invitations, inviting the prince and princess to attend the wedding in a few days..."
It's almost time for my eldest brother to marry Princess Jiangling. Time is passing so slowly.
Although Princess Jiangling is Shen Wan's sister-in-law, when Shen Wan got married, Princess Jiangling sent her a dowry, so Shen Wan had to prepare one for her as well.
Just as she was about to go out of the house, she went to the Jade Pavilion to pick out a nice suit.
Shen Wan asked, "Has the prince returned?"
Qiu Er shook her head, "Not back yet."
But it doesn’t matter if Xie Jingyu doesn’t come back. She knows where the things are, and Chen An will secretly protect her when she leaves the house, so nothing will happen.
"Have the carriage prepared."
Shen Wan first went back to the house, then to the study, and then left the house.
When she arrived at the gate, a carriage was already waiting there. She got in the carriage and headed straight for the Jade Pavilion.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the Jade Pavilion.
Shanhu opened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, revealing the gold and jade bracelet that the old lady had given to Chen Wan.
Shen Wan picked it up and put it on his wrist.
Shanhu was a little worried, "Will it really not hurt the little prince in my belly?"
"It's just a moment, it'll be okay."
Shanhu quickly got off the carriage and helped Shen down.
Chen Wan was a frequent visitor to the Jade Pavilion. The shop assistants all recognized her and greeted her with a smile on their faces, "Prince Consort Jingbei has not been to our Jade Pavilion for some time. We have a lot of new jewelry today. Come and enjoy it."
Shen Wan entered the Jade Pavilion and went directly to the second floor.
The girls downstairs looked at her with envy. She could be reincarnated and get married. How could people not envy her?
When she reached the second floor, Shen Wan went directly to the place where bracelets were sold.
Chen Wan fell in love with a gold bracelet at first sight and was about to wear it, but felt that the gold and jade bracelet on her wrist was in the way, so she took it off and put it on the counter.
Shen Wan tried on several bracelets and selected them very carefully.
At some point, a girl came over and reached out to take the jade bracelet, and Yunxiu accidentally took off the gold bracelet that Shen Wan had placed on the counter.
clang.
The gold bracelet hit the ground.
The girl pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "I'm sorry..."
