Chapter 45 Care
The visiting cards were returned again and again, and it was not easy to meet Yun. Lady Zhaoping did not dare to hope that Yun would agree in one go. If Yun could give in and help her persuade her son, Lady Zhaoping would be satisfied and would not dare to ask for anything more.
Shen Wan helped Lady Zhaoping again, and she stood up.
Looking at so many ladies from prominent families who were watching the fun, Yun had a terrible headache. She really didn't want her daughter to be pushed to the forefront and be talked about by others.
After Yun left, Shen Wan also left, leaving Lady Zhaoping standing by the lake, and no one knew what she was thinking.
However, few people sympathized with the wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping. After all, Shen Yu's experience was more sympathetic. Because she was rescued from falling into the water, her engagement was broken off and she had to marry another man. Two years after her marriage, her husband had an affair with his cousin, became pregnant, and wanted to kill her. If the engagement had not been broken off, Shen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping would have become a perfect couple.
This is retribution for the wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping.
However, the affection of the Prince of Zhaoping for Miss Shen is also touching. Miss Shen has been married for two years and has not remarried. If he gets married, even if Miss Shen gets divorced, he cannot continue their previous relationship, and they will really be destined to be apart in this life.
There is still some hope now.
The news that Lady Zhaoping had knelt down to beg Yun spread throughout the Xingguo Mansion, adding a lot of topics to the Xingguo Mansion's birthday banquet. However, after Yun and Lady Zhaoping left, the discussion came to an abrupt end.
There are already many ladies from prominent families in the garden, and when the sons of wealthy families come, there are even more people, and there are people everywhere.
However, Shen Wan's attention was on finding Princess Jingbei. When she saw a figure walking towards the garden, she was worried that it was Princess Jingbei, so she hurried to chase after her.
In her previous life, no one knew when Princess Jingbei arrived at the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, nor when the accident happened. When the birthday banquet was over and Princess Jingbei was found, she was already dead.
Shen Wan was chasing her very anxiously. Shan Hu didn't know what she was going to do over there, so she hurried to catch up.
But there were too many people in the garden, and the rockery blocked their view, so they lost track of the person in a short while.
Shen Wan looked around and stamped his feet anxiously.
Where are the people?
"Are you looking for me or my mother?"
The voice came suddenly.
It was mellow like wine, but it frightened Shen Wan.
She turned around and saw Xie Jingyu walking towards her.
Shen Wan patted his chest lightly, “If you scare someone, they’ll scare them to death!”
Xie Jingyu said, "How dare you run to a place with few people?"
I thought she was willing, but it was for him.
Shen Wan was upset, but Xie Jingyu walked towards her, grabbed her hand without saying anything, and took her behind the rockery, leaving Shanhu standing there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Shen Wan struggled, but couldn't break free. He gritted his teeth and said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Xie Jingyu chuckled, "If you're not afraid of being seen meeting here secretly, I don't mind."
Who is meeting him secretly?!
Shen Wan Qi stagnation.
But I couldn't refute it. If someone caught me, it would really be a misunderstanding.
Shen Wan glared at him, and Xie Jingyu asked, "Who told you that something would happen in the Taimiao?"
Now is not the time to ask about this, okay!
Shen Wan said anxiously, "Even if I'm wrong and the Taimiao wasn't struck by lightning, this is about your mother's life, so you should be cautious. If something really happens, aren't you afraid that you'll regret it for the rest of your life?"
There was a hint of anxiety in Chen Wan's piercing eyes. Xie Jingyu asked, "Are you so afraid that I'll regret it?"
Who is afraid that you will regret it? I am afraid that you will bully me.
Shen Wan was exhausted, "Anyway, I've already warned you."
Xie Jingyu said, "My mother didn't come."
Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that you didn’t come.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Answer me first, who told you that something would happen in the Taimiao?"
Chen Wan was puzzled, "Nothing happened in the Taimiao, why are you still asking?"
"Nothing happened in the Taimiao Temple because I went there."
Chen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu in disbelief, "Can you still prevent the temple from being struck by lightning?"
Xie Jingyu was amused by Shen Wan's surprise, "Someone tampered with the Taimiao, and I demolished it, so the Taimiao was not struck by lightning."
No wonder this didn’t happen, but how could someone tamper with the Taimiao?
But this is not something Shen Wan can control. Xie Jingyu's eyes have been looking at her. He has asked twice. Shen Wan knows that if she doesn't answer, he will not let her go.
"It was the Taoist priest outside the Huguo Temple who told me. He saved me and my elder sister."
"I believe his words without a doubt."
The last four words were spoken with some gnashing of teeth.
Xie Jingyu laughed, "I'm curious, why does that Taoist priest care so much about my mother?"
...I can't answer that.
Shen Wan racked her brains to try to smooth things over, but Xie Jingyu didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. Instead, she asked, "Besides this, did the Taoist priest say anything else?"
Chen Wan didn't want to meddle in Xie Jingyu's affairs. As long as Princess Jingbei was fine, he didn't have to observe mourning, and she didn't need to worry about the rest. But he took the initiative to ask, and Chen Wan couldn't help it.
"Your debt of gratitude for saving my elder sister's life has been repaid. I would like to advise you, Prince Jingbei, that if you find a girl you like, you should propose marriage immediately. Don't let her marry someone else one day and you regret it for the rest of your life."
Other lovers who cannot be together would be sad in silence, but he is different. He harms people everywhere.
If she wasn't afraid, she wouldn't have meddled in other people's affairs to this extent. She's not his mother, so why would she worry about his lifelong affairs?
Worrying about it is fine, but the other person doesn’t appreciate it, “Is Miss Shen Er too concerned about me?”
It's no wonder others think so. She herself felt that she had gone too far. When she looked up, she unexpectedly bumped into a pair of deep, smiling eyes. Shen Wan was momentarily distracted and glanced away. "I'm meddling in other people's business. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Chen Wan wanted to leave, but couldn't. Xie Jingyu murmured the word "propose marriage". He stared into Chen Wan's eyes, "What if that girl doesn't like me?"
Shen Wan's eyes widened, "Not interested in you?"
"Yeah," the voice sounded a little unhappy.
"Is she blind?"
“…”
Shen Wan blurted out, and seeing Xie Jingyu's hard-working expression as he tried to hold back his laughter, she realized that he was talking about her and immediately became angry, "You're kidding me!"
In his previous life, this bastard and the girl he liked had clearly secretly decided to spend their lives together. Even their token of love was known to everyone at the border. However, the girl married someone else before he returned from the border or before his mourning period was over.
Although the girl was not very kind, Chen Wan felt that she must have her reasons. After all, there were not many people in Kyoto with a better family background than Xie Jingyu, and coupled with her appearance, it could be said that there were almost no others.
What's more, the two of them are in love with each other and have a lot in common. Although Xie Jingyu bullied her a lot, Shen Wan felt that if he married the person he liked, he would definitely spoil her and make her the happiest woman in the world.
The matter of not liking someone did not exist at all. She said that the person was blind, but he was not angry, he was laughing. She still couldn't react. He was not asking for advice humbly, but was referring to the day when her eldest brother invited so many young men from aristocratic families into the mansion, including him, and she chose the son of Linjiang Hou.
I cursed myself before I knew it.
Your kindness is taken as an insult.
