Chapter 62 Amusement
After Chen Yu Jingma divorced, Madam Yun, Yun Miao and Yun Qing went to see her, but Old Madam Yun was old and did not go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Seeing Shen Yu, Madam Yun hugged her in her arms distressedly and complained to Shen Ji, "It's a pity that your father has a large army, but your daughter is bullied like this, and you are also played around by others."
Old Madam Yun not only had a problem with the Yongqing Marquis's intention to kill Chen Yu, but she was also furious with the Second Master for replacing his cousin with his own illegitimate daughter.
Madam Yun said, "It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Our Yu'er's good fortune lies in the future."
Chen Wan and Chen Yu talked with Old Madam Yun for a long time. When Yun Miao and Yun Qing came, they went to the garden to appreciate the flowers, and then had lunch with Old Madam Yun.
After lunch, it was time to go home. Shen Wan asked, "Is my cousin so busy?"
Madam Yun asked, "What do you want to talk to your cousin about?"
Shen Wan shook his head, “My cousin helped me a lot, I want to thank him.”
After Master Ye San arrived in Beijing, Shen Ti's impersonation of Ye Caiwei was exposed. Old Madam Yun asked Yun Yan why he didn't tell her about this. He and Shen Wan were too bold. General Ye even blamed Shen Ji in his dream, and they still dared to make their own decisions.
Yun Yan had no choice but to tell Madam Yun everything, including the affair between Prince Yongqing and his cousin, and the fact that Shen Wan asked him to investigate the second master's mistress.
Old Madam Yun was stunned by these things. She really didn't expect that her granddaughter was so opinionated. If Yun Yan hadn't said it, she would have really believed it.
Madam Yun laughed, "We're family, and it's a bit strange for your cousin to keep thanking you for helping him."
Shen Wan said, "My cousin and I are not strangers. I was afraid that my eldest brother would be unreliable, so I asked my cousin for help."
This sentence made both Old Madam Yun and Madam Yun laugh.
Madam Yun smiled and said, "Your cousin will definitely be delighted to hear this, but I'm afraid your eldest brother won't be happy."
After chatting and laughing with Old Madam Yun for a while, Chen Wan and Chen Yu said goodbye, and Yun Miao and Yun Qing saw them out of the house.
After returning to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Shen Wan planned to go directly back to Mingyue Garden, but when she entered the second gate, she was told that the old lady asked her to come back and go to Shou'an Hall.
Not knowing what he wanted to talk to her about, Shen Yu accompanied Shen Wan to Shou'an Hall.
After walking around the screen and entering the room, she saw the old lady sitting on the Luohan couch. Shen Wu asked Shen Wan, "I heard that my second sister was in the Jade Pavilion today to help the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in the Hanlin Academy and force the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue to compensate for the broken jade bracelet?"
If Shen Wu hadn't told her about this, Shen Yu wouldn't have known about it. She looked at Shen Wan in surprise.
Shen Wan thought the old lady wanted to talk to her about something, but it turned out that she wanted to blame her for meddling in other people's business.
Since she dared to intervene, was she still afraid that the old lady would punish her?
Chen Wan said, "I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but it just happened that when I entered the Jade Pavilion, I saw Miss Qu bullying Miss Zhao. I remembered that my father always taught us to be a person with a clear conscience, so I decided to intervene."
Chen Wu said, "Not only did you testify for Miss Zhao, but you also forced Miss Qu to compensate the Jade Pavilion. Isn't this simply to make enemies with Miss Qu?"
Chen Wan said calmly, "Miss Qu is someone who bullies others and confuses right and wrong. I have never thought of making friends with her."
"We can't make friends, but we can't make enemies either!"
Shen Wu's tone was aggressive.
Chen Wan looked at Chen Wu, "Why are you so angry, Third Sister? I just had a few arguments with Miss Qu. You and the Fourth Miss of the Duke of Wei's Mansion quarrel as soon as you see them. I haven't said a single word against you. Fourth Sister pushed Fourth Miss Wei down the stairs, and was only punished by Grandmother to reflect in the Buddhist temple for three days. I had a few arguments with Miss Qu, and you still want Grandmother to punish me?"
Shen Wu just wanted to take the opportunity to ask the old lady to punish Shen Wan. If she hadn't had a dream and sent people to Junzhou to burn paper, she wouldn't have exposed the fact that her father had a concubine and an illegitimate daughter. Now her father was demoted two levels, and her parents were alienated. It was all Shen Wan's fault!
But Shen Wan took the initiative, and Shen Wu didn't want the old lady to punish Shen Wan. After all, Shen Ti pushed Wei Si Xiao Niang, which was such a serious mistake, but she was only punished to reflect in the Buddhist temple for three days. Just because Shen Wan started a few arguments, she was punished to kneel in the Buddhist temple for half a day. That was unfair to the old lady.
Chen Wu said, "Who asked Grandmother to punish you? I just think there's no need to offend the Minister of Revenue's Mansion for a girl from the Hanlin Academy. I'm afraid that you will cause trouble in the future because of your meddling in other people's affairs, and bring disaster to the entire Dingguo Mansion."
Chen Wan frowned and said, "Third sister, your words sound too utilitarian. In my eyes, the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Academy are the same, without distinction of high and low. Do you think I'm going to stand by and watch Miss Zhao being bullied when I encounter such a situation again? What if others accuse me of climbing the ladder of power and damaging the reputation of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion? Do I have to tell others that I meddled in this matter and get scolded when I get home?"
Shen Wan said with a smile: If you dare to say one more word, I will really not care at that time. If others say that she is afraid of offending people, she will push her Shen Wu out.
A naked threat.
Shen Wu gritted her teeth angrily, "I'm doing this for your own good, don't be ungrateful!"
Chen Wan said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I want you and Miss Wei Si to make peace. Will you listen?"
The two looked at each other.
There were crackling sparks in his eyes.
"Just be quiet!"
The old lady placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the small table.
Shen Wu didn't dare to say anything more, and Shen Wan didn't say anything more either, and stood up to leave.
After leaving Shou'an Hall with Shen Yu, they walked towards Mingyue Garden. After only a dozen steps, a maid came over and said, "Second Miss, the prince invites you to the outer courtyard."
Shen Yu returned to Mingyue Garden, and Shen Wan went to the outer courtyard to see Shen Li.
Chen Wan was already tired, and after returning to the outer courtyard, he was even more tired. Before he even entered the house, he complained, "Brother, can you come directly to Mingyue Garden to find me next time? It's tiring to walk..."
Cough cough!
Chen Li coughed again.
Shen Wanxin jumped up with a cough, and then she saw a certain gentleman sitting there.
Shen Wan, “…”
no.
Why did he come to Duke Dingguo's Mansion again?
Shen Li held his forehead and said to Shen Wan, "Although my brother-in-law is not an outsider, can you wait until you see your elder brother before speaking to me next time?"
Cough cough!
This time it was Xie Jingyu who was coughing.
Choked by tea.
Needless to say, Chen Wan's face flushed red. She really wanted to sew her eldest brother's mouth tightly. He was shouting like that before they even got married. They weren't so shameless!
Xie Jingyu put down the teacup and said to Shen Li, "I want to talk to Wan'er for a few words. You go out first."
Shen Li, “…”
Are you kidding me?
This is his study.
Is it appropriate to talk to his sister and kick him, the future uncle, out?
And Waner...
Is this a bit too friendly?
Shen Wan also felt that it was too intimate. She felt uncomfortable listening to it and was even more worried that Xie Jingyu was going to tell her about the arranged marriage.
