Chapter 63 Protect
Chen Li walked out, looking back every few steps.
After Coral went out, he closed the door.
Shen Wan’s cheeks flushed, and she looked at Xie Jingyu awkwardly, “My eldest brother is yelling nonsense, don’t mind it.”
Xie Jingyu said, "You and I are married by imperial decree, so there is no possibility of divorce..."
As expected, it was because of this matter. Shen Wan quickly expressed her stance, fearing that Xie Jingyu would have murderous thoughts towards her. "Don't worry, there must be a way to get a divorce. If it really doesn't work, I can fake my death to make room for you."
Xie Jingyu's face darkened visibly.
The words squeezed out from between his teeth, "Faking your own death? Do you know what deceiving the emperor is?"
As a man who had the courage to dethrone the emperor, would he take the crime of deceiving the emperor seriously?
However, Shen Wan only dared to criticize these words in her heart, "I'm just afraid that you'll worry that I'll occupy your position as the Crown Prince's Consort and won't return it, so I want you to be at ease. You promised to lend it to me for two years. In two years, I will definitely be able to come up with a solution that will satisfy both parties. If it really comes to the last resort, I can only fake my death."
You can't really die.
You know, lending him the position of Crown Prince's Consort is so troublesome, she said she would not lend it to him no matter what.
This matter was also his fault. Wouldn't it have been better for her to ask the prince of Linjiang to borrow it? Giving it to her would only cause trouble for himself.
Sensing someone's gaze on her face, Shen Wan looked up and saw Xie Jingyu looking at her with an indescribable look in his eyes, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.
The moment he felt it, Shen Wan had already raised his hand to protect his neck.
Seeing the fear and defensiveness in Shen Wan's eyes, Xie Jingyu laughed angrily, "Are you so afraid that I will kill you?"
Shen Wan silently put his hand down.
Even if Xie Jingyu wanted to kill her again, he would not dare to do it in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, in her eldest brother's study.
Chen Wan said, "How about I pretend to be sick now, and you persuade your father and my dad to go and ask the emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage. I think the emperor will give them a beating and then agree..."
"Protect your neck."
Shen Wan looked at him blankly, "Why?"
"If you say another word, I really won't be able to help but strangle you to death," Xie Jingyu said with a very dark face.
“…”
Shen Wan not only obeyed and protected his neck, but also took a few steps back, looked at Xie Jingyu and said, "If you don't let me talk about this, then what do you want to tell me?"
Xie Jingyu felt his palms itching. "I came here to fulfill my duty as entrusted by someone."
Shen Wan was puzzled.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Aren't you trying to match the Prince of Zhaoping with your elder sister?"
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
no.
How did he know this?!
Prince Zhaoping asked no one to help him pass the message to her, so he asked Xie Jingyu.
Could he be more reliable?
Chen Wan was exhausted and looked at Xie Jingyu, "What does the prince of Zhaoping want to do?"
"He wants to see your eldest sister. Please help."
Shen Wan had a headache, "Eldest sister refused to talk to him, so what if she met him?"
Xie Jingyu asked, "Do you need my help?"
Shen Wan looked at him, "I can't help you, can you help?"
Xie Jingyu curled his lips and said, "Tell them to meet at the back of Huguo Temple the day after tomorrow. You will know then."
There were coughing sounds outside the door.
If you don’t get out now, big brother is going to cough his lungs out.
Shen Wan opened the door and went out. Shen Li was still coughing, and said while coughing, "I'm not urging you to come out. I was choked by the wind."
Shen Wan pulled Shen Li aside.
Shen Li, “…”
Just now, a certain elder brother was feeling lost because his sister had married someone else and was no longer close to him. When she talked to her brother-in-law, she didn't even bother listening.
As a result, when my sister talked to him, she didn't even include her brother-in-law in her conversation.
He and his brother-in-law are not so distant.
Shen Li said, "What does my sister want to tell me?"
Shen Wan asked, "Brother, who is the girl you like?"
Shen Li's head suddenly buzzed, and he knocked Shen Wan's head, "You are so curious, you are not allowed to ask about this."
Shen Wan said, "Brother, aren't you afraid of missing her?"
Chen Li's eyes were dim.
That look made Chen Wan feel distressed, as if he had some difficulties. Even if he did, he could tell her, because she was the eldest brother's biological sister.
Shen Li said, "How about you chat with your brother-in-law for a few more minutes to cultivate your relationship?"
Deliberately changing the subject!
Why is my eldest brother so tight-lipped? I haven't gotten the answer no matter how many times I asked him. It's said that he married my eldest sister-in-law in his previous life. It's okay that he refuses to tell me, but they haven't gotten married yet.
Forget about telling her, she just doesn't believe she can't find out.
Chen Wan said, "I got the news that the Minister of Revenue was involved in a corruption case. He is afraid of being punished by the emperor, so he wants to marry his daughter to you, big brother. Then the emperor will give you a lighter sentence for my father's sake. Big brother, you must be careful when you leave the house, don't let anyone plot against you. I don't want Miss Qu to be my sister-in-law!"
Shen Li said, "How could that be?"
What Shen Wan feared most was that her eldest brother didn't take her instructions seriously. She said angrily, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of one. If I don't believe my eldest sister, she will be gone."
Shen Li's expression became serious.
Chen Wan said, "Anyway, big brother, if you see Miss Qu, just take a detour. If you can't afford to offend her, we can always hide from her."
"I've warned you, big brother. If you're still being tricked, I'll have the Prince of Jingbei hang you from a tree for three days and three nights!"
Shen Wan spoke the other words quietly, but the last sentence was spoken loudly.
Xie Jingyu heard it all clearly in the study.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
That day, Chen Wan rushed to rescue Chen Li in a hurry. He was so angry after only hanging Chen Li for half an hour. He didn't expect that when she got angry, she would be even more cruel than him and wanted to hang Chen Li for three days and three nights.
"Brother will make sure to see her take a detour."
Afraid that Chen Wan would not believe him, Chen Li raised his hand as if swearing.
That's about right.
Shen Wan turned and left.
On the way back to Mingyue Garden, Yinchuan was seen walking quickly from a distance. Shanhu called her and Yinchuan came over. Shanhu asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you going to do?"
Yin Chuan said, "Hongxiu was delivering something to the eldest lady just now. She felt sick in her room. The eldest lady asked her to call a doctor, but Hongxiu refused. The eldest lady asked Hongxiu to go back to her room to rest. She was worried and asked me to report to the lady..."
Chen Wan said, "No need to report. Go out and buy some candied snacks. Buy some plums, both sour and sweet, and send them to Hongxiu."
Yinchuan looked confused.
Hongxiu vomited so much that she felt like she was half dead. The eldest and second daughters wanted to call a doctor for her, but she refused to let anyone. Doesn't she want to live anymore?
Hongxiu said no, and the second girl really let her do it. If she said she didn't care, she would buy her a bunch of food. If she said she cared, eating delicious food couldn't cure the disease.
Yinchuan felt strange, but didn't dare to ask any more questions and just did as she was told.
After returning to Mingyue Garden, Chen Wan went to find Chen Yu and said, "I have already reminded my eldest brother to be careful, but I am still a little worried. I plan to go to Huguo Temple the day after tomorrow to ask the Taoist priest again. My eldest sister will accompany me."
Chen Yu nodded without hesitation.
