Chapter 431 Connivance
Chu Yang married Chen Ling and the wedding banquet was held with great fanfare.
It was already evening when Xie Jingyu came back from the wedding banquet. From the moment Xie Jingyu returned to Zhaolanxuan after drinking, Shen Wan stuck to him.
Sticky all night.
This forced a certain guy to take a cold shower in the middle of winter, and he did it several times.
Taking a cold shower was fine, but Shen Wan was still drawing circles on his chest. Thinking of how he had behaved badly in the past, he imitated him, making Xie Jingyu so angry that his back teeth itched. He grabbed Shen Wan's hand and said, "The child will be born sooner or later. Aren't you afraid that I will bring up the past in the future?"
Shen Wan's words blocked him from speaking, "Is it time to open up the old accounts when the new ones are not settled yet?"
If it weren't for Shen Wan's belly being so tight, Xie Jingyu would have definitely pressed her down and bullied her severely just because of what she said.
But now—
With two amulets, Chen Wan is fearless.
A certain master could do nothing but give Shen Wanqin a good beating.
Took another cold shower.
When I came back I was already sneezing.
Shen Wan was so scared that he quickly turned over while holding his stomach and pretended to sleep.
While pretending, I actually fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Shen Wan still felt a little guilty and asked Shanhu, "Is the prince not suffering from cold?"
Shanhu was a little confused by the question, "Is the prince catching a cold?"
Shen Wan said, "I'm asking if you heard the prince cough..."
Coral shook her head, "I didn't hear it."
If Xie Jingyu caught a cold from taking a cold shower, she would not be able to explain to the prince and princess.
When she finished washing up, Xie Jingyu came back from morning exercise, looking as usual. After breakfast, she didn't hear him cough. Shen Wan was relieved.
The weather was nice today, so Chen Wan had a good breakfast and went to pay her respects to the princess with the coral and silver bracelets.
The princess said, "The weather is getting colder. The ground will inevitably freeze in the morning. There is no need to come and pay your respects to mother."
Knowing that the princess was doing this for her own good, Shen Wan said, "I'm sorry to have worried my mother. When the ice freezes, I will stay in Zhaolanxuan and not go anywhere."
The princess also knew that it was better to walk more. She was still frightened by the hemorrhage caused by the difficult labor of the wife of the prince of Zhaoping. She thought that the baby in her belly should not be too big. However, Shen Wan was pregnant with twins. Although the baby would not be big, her belly would not be small either.
It's only been more than seven months, and the others are about to give birth. I don't know how much suffering the two people behind will have to endure.
Later, Shen Wan came to Liuliyuan less often and planned to stay a while longer. However, before she could even sit down on the stool, a maid came in and reported to the princess, "Princess, the eldest lady slapped Madam Sun in the front yard..."
The princess's brows tightened, "What's going on?"
The maid replied, "The eldest young lady just went to the front yard and questioned Madam Sun why the amount of silver frost charcoal sent to her and Concubine Wen this year was only half of what it was in previous years. Madam Sun said that it was according to the allocation between Concubine Wen and the eldest young lady. The eldest young lady asked Madam Sun to make up for it according to previous years. Madam Sun asked her to come to you, Princess. The eldest young lady thought Madam Sun was deliberately mocking her, and then she slapped her..."
I knew that Concubine Wen and Xie Zhihuan would not behave themselves after leaving the Buddhist temple. They still wanted to live their former high-powered days.
The princess would not tolerate it. "A lady from a noble family is so unreasonable. She slapped the servants and punished the eldest daughter by making her copy the house rules a hundred times. When she finishes copying, she will be allowed to leave the courtyard."
After punishing Xie Zhihuan, he instructed Mother Zhao, "Go to the front yard to see Mother Sun and reward her with three taels of silver."
Mother Sun was following the palace's family rules, which was also ordered by the princess. She was beaten by Xie Zhihuan, and Mother Sun must not be allowed to suffer this injustice.
Mother Zhao went to the front yard while the Fourth Madam came with her daughter Xie Zhiyao. Unless it was windy or rainy, the Fourth Madam would bring Xie Zhiyao to the princess's place every day to sit and chat.
With her frequent visits, the relationship between the Fourth Lady and the Princess's sister-in-law has become increasingly close. However, today the Fourth Lady came for something. "I have discussed with the Master and we are moving to a new house on the 28th of this month."
The princess asked, "Why don't you stay in the palace for a few more days?"
The fourth lady also wanted to, but since the family had already split up, it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer. What's more, the prince and princess treated them very well. Not only did they give them a nearby house, but they also gave them so much property.
The fourth lady smiled and said, "The house is close to the palace. I often come to bother you. I hope my sister-in-law doesn't dislike me when the time comes."
The princess said, "I am so happy that you bring Yao'er back often."
Although the fourth room moved out and lived nearby, the prince and princess obviously wanted the fourth room to stay for a few more days. Why did they suddenly move out? Shen Wan felt something was wrong.
But there was nothing wrong with the Fourth Lady's expression. She chatted and laughed with the princess.
The Fourth Lady stayed for about two quarters of an hour before leaving, but as soon as she left, Concubine Wen came to kill her.
The princess confined Xie Zhihuan to her feet and punished her to copy the household rules. Concubine Wen disagreed, thinking that the princess had been too lenient with them over the years. She had not even deducted any money from them, but only distributed silver frost charcoal to them according to their status as concubines and concubines. She felt wronged and went to the princess's house to question her.
Concubine Wen wanted to break into the house, but was stopped by the maid. If she hadn't dared, she would have slapped the maid who tried to stop her.
After the maid informed the princess that she was allowed to enter the house, the maid let her in.
After Concubine Wen entered the room, she didn't even bother to bow to the princess. She just opened her mouth and said, "Mother Sun has withheld our expenses. Huan'er just taught a naughty servant a lesson, but the princess punished Huan'er like this. Are you so unfair? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the prince?!"
...using the prince to threaten the princess.
Did Concubine Wen get kicked in the head by a donkey?
The princess said coldly, "I treated you well in the past, but I indulged you to the point that you forgot your own status. I asked you to raise a grown girl, and this is how you turned out?"
"I think it's not just the eldest girl who needs to copy the house rules, you need to copy them too!"
The princess also punished Concubine Wen by making her copy one hundred articles of household rules, but she did not confine her to her house.
Coming out of the Liuli Courtyard, Shanhu asked, "Why didn't the princess hold Concubine Wen's feet..."
Shen Wan laughed and said, "If Concubine Wen is forbidden to walk, how can Concubine Wen go to the prince to complain?"
coral,"……???"
Others were stopping her from filing a complaint, so why did the princess allow Concubine Wen to go and file a complaint with the prince?
Coral looked confused.
After returning to Zhaolanxuan, Chen Wan asked Yinchuan to find out if anything had happened in the fourth room in the past two days.
Soon Yinchuan came back and said, "Last night, the eldest and fourth daughters had an argument. The eldest daughter spoke harshly, saying that the palace had been divided up, but the fourth branch was shameless and refused to move out. She made the fourth daughter cry..."
It turned out that the fourth room was not moving out for no reason.
Before this, the fourth master and the fourth mistress had someone calculate the date for moving. They were reluctant to move out, so they set several dates, spanning two or three months.
The Fourth Lady was planning to ask the prince and princess to choose one for them, but before she could tell the prince and princess, this incident happened.
The one who was sold had no way to say anything. Since the family was indeed divided, they could no longer live in the palace mansion. The fourth master and the fourth mistress made up their minds and set a date for moving.
After moving out, the fourth lady brought her daughter back to talk to the princess, and the eldest girl couldn't refuse.
If Concubine Wen was not the prince's concubine and Xie Zhihuan was not the prince's daughter, Shen Wan would have wanted to send them away with the old lady.
It was not their turn to make decisions in the palace. The prince and princess didn't say anything, but they started chasing people away.
Shen Wan said, "Tell this to Manager Zhou, and when the prince returns home, have him tell the prince."
