Chapter 545 Custody
After Chen Wan finished her lunch, she went to bed. When she woke up, Xie Jingyu had not returned home yet.
Xie Jingyu didn't let Chen Wan pack his luggage, so he didn't pack anything. He was not going to the border, but to find the princess. He couldn't bring too many things, so it would be most practical to bring more banknotes.
If she hadn't been told earlier, he would have left tomorrow. She should have gone to Huguo Temple to pray for his safety and blessings, but it was too late to go now.
However, Xie Jingyu went to Dongliang to find the princess. In his previous life, Xie Jingyu borrowed troops from Dongliang to bring Xiao Yun down. In Shen Wan's opinion, Dongliang was not Xie Jingyu's territory, but it could at least be considered half of it.
Since there was no need to pack, she had to cherish the last half day. Shen Wan instructed the imperial chef to make a few more dishes that Xie Jingyu liked.
Xie Jingyu returned home in the evening and looked at the table full of dishes. He said, "Thirteen dishes, all of which are my husband's favorites."
Shen Wan, “…???”
How can there be thirteen dishes?
There were eleven dishes and one soup on the table.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "There are only twelve dishes."
Seeing that Chen Wan doubted that she couldn't count, Xie Jingyu reached out and pinched her nose. When Chen Wan realized what was happening, she wanted to bite Xie Jingyu to death.
asshole!
You are the dish!
Chen Wan glared at Xie Jingyu, but didn't bother to argue with him and picked up some food for him.
While eating, Shen Wan suddenly asked, "You won't be back for two years, right?"
Xie Jingyu choked, "Can you hope for something good for your husband?"
It took him two years to come back, so he didn't have to come back.
Isn't Chen Wan thinking that he had stayed in Dongliang for two years in his previous life before borrowing troops to rebel?
Xie Jingyu picked up some food for Shen Wan and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you don't come back for two years, the emperor might want to find a new consort for you."
Shen Wan, “…”
The sadness of parting was washed away in an instant.
Concentrating on eating.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Did you have a good sleep this afternoon?"
Shen Wan was about to nod, but when he thought about what happened on the boat yesterday, he knew what this bastard was planning in his mind and shook his head quickly.
After dinner, Chen Wan took Shanhu Yinchuan for a walk in the garden and went up to the viewing tower to admire the sunset.
She wanted to stay with Xie Jingyu for a while longer, but she was afraid to be with him. A man who was about to leave her was too scary.
But she soon realized that there was no escape.
As night fell, it was time to return to Zhaolanxuan. However, just as she was about to turn around, she was hugged around the waist, his hot chest pressed against her back, and the familiar scent of pine and cypress filled her nose.
Shen Wan liked him holding her like this, but she also had to save face.
Shen Wan blushed and said, “The maid is still here.”
"They went downstairs early."
Chen Wan lowered her head and saw Shanhu and Yinchuan chasing each other downstairs.
He bit her lips and whispered in her ear, "I haven't tried it on the observation deck yet..."
"……no!"
What kind of habits does this bastard have?
He thought everywhere was their dormitory.
Shen Wan wanted to go downstairs, but it was no use. Xie Jingyu knew her too well. As long as he kissed her for a while longer, she would not be able to tell the directions and would let him do whatever he wanted.
From the observation deck to the bathroom, and from the bathroom to the bed...
A crazy night.
Chen Wan didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already noon.
She was even planning to go to Shili Pavilion to see him off!
Thinking about what she said yesterday about seeing him off, Xie Jingyu said, "Don't go to Shili Pavilion to see her off. Just do it in bed."
If you press it too hard, there will be a dull pain somewhere.
Shen Wan didn't know how many times she greeted him in her heart.
Yinchuan was waiting outside the house. She only went in to serve after hearing the noise.
Chen Wan got off the bed, her legs feeling as weak as if she were stepping on cotton. Yin Chuan supported her. Chen Wan cursed Xie Jingyu in her heart, but tried to find words to say, "Where's Shan Hu?"
Yinchuan said, "Shanhu is digging a hole in the study courtyard to bury something."
Shen Wan was surprised, "Bury what?"
Yin Chuan smiled and said, "This morning, Chen Ping and the Crown Prince left the capital. When they left, they gave a box to Shanhu and asked her to keep it safe. He also said that if he didn't come back, the box would belong to Shanhu. He left without even giving Shanhu a chance to ask questions..."
"After Chen Ping left, Shanhu opened the box. Inside was the reward money given to Chen Ping by the Crown Prince and his wife. It was several hundred taels."
As Yinchuan finished speaking, Shanhu came in. The pit was so deep that Shanhu was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead. Yinchuan asked, "Is it buried?"
Shanhu asked, "Why doesn't he hide it himself and let me collect it for him?"
Although she has never lost money, she has never kept anything for anyone else.
What if it was lost? She couldn’t afford to pay for it, so it was better to bury it.
Seeing Shanhu's exhausted expression, Shen Wan knocked her head and said, "Don't get it, that's the betrothal gift Chen Ping gave you."
Shanhu was startled at first, then her face flushed, "How, how could it be..."
Yinchuan said, "No wonder I always felt something was wrong. Now that the Crown Princess has said this, I understand."
Coral stamped her feet.
Chen Wan said, "Chen Ping was afraid that I would marry you to someone else after he left, so he entrusted all his wealth to you for safekeeping."
It would definitely be inappropriate for her to marry someone else while she is in charge of his money.
Shanhu said, "He said he would not be able to come back, so he gave the box to me..."
Shen Wan said, “It can be seen that Chen Ping really likes you.”
Shanhu's face was bleeding with shame, "The Crown Prince's Concubine only knows how to tease me..."
She ran away out of shame.
Shen Wan couldn't help laughing. She washed and dressed, then sat down to eat.
After a tiring night, he skipped breakfast and was extremely hungry for lunch. He ate a lot, but Chen Wan always felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
At night, when she was taking a bath and getting ready for bed, Shen Wan realized that something was wrong.
Because she wasn't wearing any underwear!
That’s not right. She remembered that she wore it last night, so how come it’s gone?
While soaking in the bathtub, Chen Wan vaguely recalled his past life, when a certain gentleman went to the battlefield and took his sweetheart Xiaoyi with him. His face suddenly became red with anger.
Shameless!
In his previous life, the fact that he secretly hid his sweetheart Xiaoyi was known to everyone in the military camp and even spread to Kyoto, but no one knew that Xie Jingyu's sweetheart was her. But now she is his Crown Prince's Consort, and if people find out, this bastard is shameless, and she still wants it!
Why did he have to take her clothes with him when there were so many other things he could take with him?!
If it wasn't difficult to speak up, Chen Wan would have wanted to send someone to find Xie Jingyu and get her clothes back.
Well, Xie Jingyu didn't let Chen Wan pack his luggage. When he left in the morning, he wanted to take something that Chen Wan often used so that he could remember her by seeing it. After all, it would take at least three to five months to come back from Dongliang.
But after picking and choosing, there was no suitable one. Then a certain gentleman remembered that Chen Wan had said earlier that he took his sweetheart Xiaoyi to the battlefield. Then he picked up the sleeping person and sat him up, and untied Xiaoyi.
Shen Wan, “…”
If Chen Wan knew that she was the one who dug her own grave, she would be furious to death.
On this side, Chen Wan was soaking in the bathtub and greeting Xie Jingyu, while on the other side, Xie Jingyu was bathing in the post station and sneezing while soaking in the bathtub.
He knew it was Shen Wan who was scolding him.
I'm in a very good mood.
