Chapter 504 Distraction
Shen Wan really didn't expect that the princess had kept silent and prepared such a big move for them.
The princess doesn’t really want to visit the old lady of the Jiang family. It’s not too late to go after the child is born.
Chen Wan didn't know that the princess had actually hesitated, but she was not firm enough in her heart. She was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave after seeing her two children. Moreover, the letter from the Jiang family was urgent, and she was afraid that if she didn't leave immediately, the Jiang family would send another letter announcing the death, and she would have no reason to leave the capital.
The princess was reluctant to leave, but fortunately Xie Jingyu was not going to the border for the time being, the Yun family and the Yun clan were all there, and the emperor also loved Shen Wan very much, so it was not so important whether she, the princess, was there or not.
Seeing Xie Jingyu rubbing his eyebrows, Shen Wan knew that he was worried about the princess, so she said, "Go find your mother."
If he could go to his mother without any worries, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Prince Qing supported Xiao Yun and secretly manufactured weapons in his fiefdom, blocking his way to recruit soldiers. If Xiao Yun wanted to sit in that position, he had only one way to go.
Zhao Ang and Prince Yuzhang beat Xiao Yun again, which undoubtedly completely angered Xiao Yun, Queen Song and others. If he went to find his mother at this critical moment, God knows what would happen in Kyoto.
He could not leave Kyoto until the emperor issued an edict to appoint Xiao Huaijin as the crown prince.
Xie Jingyu was worried about his mother, but not that worried. "Uncle Li didn't tell me about my mother leaving the Jiang family, but he will definitely tell my father. Let him worry about it."
His father had kept his mother's background a secret, and he had guessed that his mother was the aunt of the prince of Gaoyang of Dongliang based on the jade pendant that Chen Wan had mentioned.
But Xie Jingyu's intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.
He did not forget that his father lied and said that he saw the princess's portrait on the wanted poster. How could the aunt of the Prince of Gaoyang of Dongliang and the sister of the Prince of Gaoyang of Dongliang be wanted?
The Prince of Gaoyang in Dongliang was assassinated and fell off a cliff, so he faked his death and hid in Ning Dynasty to look for his aunt. Dongliang wanted Ning Dynasty to give an explanation for his death, and finally Prince Li of Dongliang was involved, and the two countries went to war. Logically, there was no place for the Prince of Gaoyang in Dongliang, but his father lured him out with his mother and easily persuaded him to leave.
Xie Jingyu felt that what the prince said about seeing the princess on the wanted poster might not be false.
If the princess was only the sister of King Gaoyang of Dongliang, the envoys from Dongliang might not have seen her. Even if they had, they would not doubt that the princess's identity must be extraordinary.
There is also his own mother. She stayed in Ning Dynasty for twenty years, which was longer than the time she stayed in Dongliang. However, as soon as she regained her memory, she gave up everything and left. This might be because she was afraid that her identity would be exposed and implicate his father and him.
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Jingyu felt a little regretful. He should have told his mother about Shen Wan's life experience earlier. At least his mother would not leave because of her concerns.
Shen Wan said, "My father is fighting at the border and cannot be distracted by my mother's affairs..."
She was already very satisfied that Xie Jingyu could stay in Kyoto to accompany her after she gave birth to the child and to accompany her through the confinement period.
Ever since the Dongliang troops were at the gates of the city, Shen Wan had been prepared for Xie Jingyu to go to the battlefield. He was born to be on the battlefield.
Xie Jingyu said, "The matter in Kyoto is more important. I want to go find my mother, but I have to wait until the matter in Kyoto is settled. Maybe by then my father will have sent my mother back."
If Xiao Yun were to sit in that position in the end, he would definitely repeat the mistakes of his previous life. He knew clearly what was more important.
Chen Wan didn't try to persuade him any further, but Shanhu beside her seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Shen Wan noticed and said, "What are you going to say?"
Shanhu asked, "What about the fourth young lady's marriage? Madam Luo came again today, hoping to marry the fourth young lady as soon as possible, but the fourth lady still wants to wait for the princess to return to the capital..."
No wonder when the princess left, she asked the fourth lady not to wait for her and let Xie Zhiyao get married. The princess never thought about coming back and didn't want to delay Xie Zhiyao.
But they all thought that the princess would go to Shengzhou to visit Old Madam Jiang and would be back soon. Besides, she was still in confinement, so it would be okay to wait a while.
Now no one knows where the princess has gone, and God knows when she will come back.
Shen Wan put down the teacup and was about to go to the North Courtyard to find the Fourth Madam. As a result, as soon as she walked into the garden, she saw the Fourth Madam and Xie Zhiyao coming from afar.
The fourth lady came over and said, "The maid said Chen Ping has returned from Shengzhou?"
Chen Ping did not hide the fact that he was going to Shengzhou from Manager Zhou, and the Fourth Lady also knew about it.
Shen Wan said, "I was just about to go find Fourth Aunt. Old Madam Jiang has passed away. My mother said that although she is only an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, she is still a daughter in the end, so she should observe mourning for a while.
My mother had an accident in Shengzhou. I want to walk around Shengzhou to see if I can recover my lost memories. Perhaps there are still blood relatives in this world. It may take some time. I asked my fourth uncle and aunt not to wait for her to return to Beijing, but to choose an auspicious day to send my fourth sister off to marry.
The Fourth Lady said, "It's okay for the princess to return to the capital later, but isn't it dangerous to stay outside?"
The Fourth Lady is really worried about the Princess. The Princess wants to regain her lost memories, and there is nothing wrong with having her own real family, although the Princess does not need her family's support.
Shen Wan said, “My husband has sent a lot of people to follow my mother, so nothing will happen.”
"I know that Fourth Aunt just rejected Madam Luo. I asked Madam Zhao to go to the Luo Mansion to explain and ask them to send a gift to invite the couple."
After rejecting Madam Luo, they sent someone again. The Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam couldn't bring themselves to do this. After all, their daughter didn't have to get married right away, and they also wanted to keep Xie Zhiyao by their side for a while longer.
The Fourth Madam said, "It's not too late to talk about it after Madam Luo comes..."
Shen Wan interrupted her, “Let’s do it this way.”
As soon as the fourth lady left, Mother Zhao came over.
Mother Zhao was eager to know when the princess would return. She was almost looking forward to it. If she had known that the princess would be gone for so long, she should have followed her secretly.
When Mother Zhao heard that the princess might not return for three to five months, she became anxious, "Why would it take so long?"
Chen Wan said, "My mother hasn't left Kyoto in all these years. She wants to go around and maybe even go to the border to look for the prince. But it won't take that long..."
Chen Wan felt that his lying skills had reached perfection and he could tell lies effortlessly.
Mother Zhao was worried and helpless.
Shen Wan asked Mother Zhao to go to Luo Mansion. It was late today. Mother Zhao said, "This servant will go to Luo Mansion early tomorrow morning."
The next day, Mother Zhao came to Zhaolanxuan to see the two children as usual, and then went to Luo's house.
The sun was not very bright in the morning. Chen Wan took the children to the yard to bask in the sun and played with them with a rattle. A maid came over and reported, "The Crown Prince's Consort, the Right Prime Minister's wife and Miss Ling are here."
The wife of the Right Prime Minister brought Ling Xue here, probably to express her gratitude to King Cheng for reminding the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to be on guard.
Shen Wan handed the rattle to the maid and stood up to greet her.
Although Chen Wan was named a princess, she did not have the airs of a princess at all. She just often forgot her identity and did not allow the servants in the mansion to call her a princess. However, outsiders did not dare to really think that Chen Wan was just the prince's consort of Jingbei Palace.
Seeing Chen Wanying coming out, the Right Prime Minister's wife was terrified, "Princess, you are embarrassing us."
