Chapter 448: Tips
After waking up from her nap, Chen Wan wanted to turn over, but her belly was too big and she couldn't turn over immediately. Shanhu, who was playing with a silk thread around the charcoal stove, heard the noise and quickly put down the silk thread in her hand, stood up and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is awake."
Shanhu helped Chen Wan to stand up. Chen Wan leaned against the big pillow and felt the two little babies making noises in her belly.
After a while, Shen Wan got out of bed because he felt a little hungry.
After eating two pieces of cake, she wanted to stretch her muscles, so she went to the study to pick out a few books she liked.
When I stepped in, I saw Xie Jingyu sitting there with a frown on his face.
Chen Wan has been married to Xie Jingyu for so long, but this is the first time she has seen such an expression on his face. What happened that has made him so troubled?
In Shen Wan's eyes, nothing can stump Xie Jingyu.
Shen Wan walked over a few steps and saw Xie Jingyu facing a dagger with a gloomy expression, not knowing what to think.
Shen Wan asked, "Why do you look so sad?"
Xie Jingyu said, "There is something I don't know how to deal with."
Shen Wan immediately became curious, "Is there anything else that can stump you?"
Xie Jingyu held Shen Wan in his arms, and Shen Wan said, "Be careful, don't squeeze the child."
Chen Wan's belly was so big that it was almost reaching the desk.
Xie Jingyu held Shen Wan and moved back a little, and told Shen Wan about his hesitation, "Do you think I should tell my father about my second brother's return to the capital?"
Shen Wan, “…???”
"Second brother?"
Shen Wan was a little confused and obviously didn't react.
Xie Jingyu said, "The son of Concubine Wen, the second brother who escaped after being tortured by the Wen family."
Shen Wan's eyes widened, "He returned to Beijing?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Not only did he return to the capital, he also collected the evidence that brought down the Wen family. On his way back to the capital, he also saved your third cousin..."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Each piece of news is more explosive than the last.
Shen Wan was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
She knew that the evidence to bring down the Wen family was given to Xie Jingyu by someone else.
She also knew that her third cousin had been assassinated at the post station and was rescued by someone.
But how could this person be the real Xie Jingze?
If Concubine Wen knew that evidence had been found and that it was her own flesh and blood who destroyed her Wen family, she would probably be so angry that she would die.
Chen Wan felt that this was too unbelievable, but it also seemed reasonable. After all, the real Second Young Master Xie ran away because he could not bear the torture of the Wen family. He must hate the Wen family, and it is normal for him to want to take revenge on the Wen family.
Shen Wan asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
Xie Jingyu said, "His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to my grandfather. This dagger that fell into the hands of your third cousin was given to him by me."
This dagger was a birthday gift given to Xie Jingyu by his grandfather on his sixth birthday.
He still remembered that a few days after his birthday, Mrs. Wen came to invite him, Xie Jingze and others to visit the Wen Mansion.
The princess didn't want him to go, but she couldn't resist the pressure from the old lady and others. Xie Jingze and Xie Jingxi were all close to the Wen family. As the prince, he would inherit the title in the future. It would be ungrateful for him not to have any dealings with the Wen family.
The mother had no choice but to agree, and they went to the Wen Mansion, where they treated them to delicious food and drinks. He got lost in the Wen Mansion garden and accidentally stumbled into the courtyard of Young Master Wen.
Young Master Wen was pinned to the ground by a servant, who stuffed food into his mouth. The servant was still cursing, "You really think you're the young master? Eat quickly when I tell you to!"
Xie Jingyu was greatly shocked by this scene. He was the center of attention in the Jingbei Palace. Everyone coaxed and praised him. Which servant was not respectful to him? The young master of the Wen family was actually bullied like this. Wasn't he told that he was ill and couldn't go out to see the wind?
Xie Jingyu couldn't bear to see this, so he walked over and kicked the boy over.
Although he was only six years old, he had already practiced martial arts for two years. The servant fell to the ground and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but when he saw it was Xie Jingyu, he immediately looked fawning.
"roll!"
Scolded by Xie Jingyu, the servant crawled away.
Xie Jingyu helped Young Master Wen, who was lying on the ground, up and asked him, "Aren't you the eldest young master of the Wen family? How dare this servant bully you like this?"
You can smell the food on the ground without even getting close to it.
Young Master Wen looked dejected, "Because I'm unlucky, everyone in the mansion hates me."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Why do you say you are unlucky?"
Young Master Wen shook his head, "I don't know."
Xie Jingyu looked at the food on the ground and asked, "Do your parents know that the servant gave you such rotten food?"
Tears welled up in Young Master Wen's eyes. "I haven't seen my parents for a long time."
Xie Jingyu couldn't believe it, "Are you really the eldest young master of the Wen family? You weren't picked up?"
In a word, Young Master Wen looked at him with a dull look.
Xie Jingyu didn't notice, his attention was still on the bowl of rice, "You, the eldest young master of the Wen family, are living worse than the beggars on the street..."
The yard was dilapidated and only Young Master Wen was there. Xie Jingyu couldn't bear to leave him.
I talked to him for a while and found out that today was his birthday.
Xie Jingyu couldn't bear it for a moment, so he gave the dagger that the old prince had given him to Young Master Wen, "This is a gift from my grandfather. I'll give it to you as a birthday present."
That dagger was a birthday gift given by the old prince to Xie Jingyu. Because Xie Jingyu was only six years old, the old prince was afraid that he would hurt himself, so the dagger was not sharpened. It just looked good, but it was of no use.
Xie Jingyu secretly used a whetstone to grind the knife for a long time, until his hands were blistered, but the knife was only slightly sharpened.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and the dagger is still in the same appearance as when he gave it away.
Xie Jingyu stayed with Young Master Wen for half an hour. When he left, he was afraid that Young Master Wen would be bullied to death by the servants, so he gave him some advice, "If you don't eat this kind of food, you will starve to death. If you eat it, you will die of illness sooner or later."
"If the Wen family still treats you like this, you should find a way to escape. If you escape, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Xie Jingyu felt that he could survive if he left the Jingbei Palace, so he believed that Young Master Wen could do the same.
"If you're not sure, don't go too far. Stay out there for a few days. If you can't survive, come back and find another way."
He gave the few golden peanuts that Madam Wen had stuffed into his pocket to Young Master Wen, and said, "Take care of yourself."
Less than half a month after he met Young Master Wen, news came that Young Master Wen had died of illness.
Xie Jingyu really thought that Young Master Wen had died of illness. After all, it would be strange if he didn't get sick after eating rotten food. It was not until he drove Xie Jingze out of the house and Concubine Wen told the truth that he realized that his second brother had listened to his words.
The real Third Young Master Xie was exchanged for the Prince Qing's Mansion and eventually died of illness.
If the real Xie Jingze had not escaped, he would most likely have suffered the same fate, so he was not wrong when he said that Xie Jingyu saved his life.
Xie Jingyu hesitated whether to tell the prince because Duke Song and Prince Cheng were still eyeing him covetously and had made many troubles in order to take his life. Xie Jingze was able to collect such complete evidence about the Second Master Wen's tenure, which should not be underestimated.
Once he returns home, if he is used by Concubine Wen, Duke Song and others, he will be asking for trouble.
But if I don't tell him, I'll feel bad. The fact that he helped Third Young Master Yun on the way back to Beijing shows that he has no bad intentions.
He wiped out his own maternal grandfather's entire family. Although the Wen family deserved the punishment, he could not face his own mother when he returned. Unless the prince came to pick him up, he would probably not come back in this life.
Seeing Xie Jingyu was undecided, Shen Wan said, "Let's tell father. Just consider it as repaying his favor for investigating the case and saving my third cousin. From now on, we will keep our distance. If he is willing to be used by Duke Song and King Cheng, we don't have to be soft-hearted with him."
