Chapter 7 Trust
After having lunch at the Yun family, Chen Wancai went back home. He did not take anything else given by the Yun family and only took away a piece of light purple floating brocade.
Shanhu was puzzled by this. "Isn't the girl's favorite color blue? Why didn't she take that one?"
Because she is not using the Fu Guang Jin herself.
Chen Wu and Ye Caiwei are indeed sisters, they have similar hobbies.
In the previous life, everyone had a share of the floating brocade, and the two of them even fought over the color. Now there is only one, and she wants to see if they will fight to the death.
If she doesn't let them fight for their own interests, they will gang up on her.
Back at Duke Dingguo's mansion, before Shen Wan could ask Madam Zheng why she came to the mansion, the maid came forward and told her, "Madam Zheng returned the second young lady's engagement letter..."
It's good that she's back. Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but Shanhu asked, "Why are you back?"
The maidservant said, "It's said that a lot of strange things happened in Duke Zheng's mansion last night. There was chaos everywhere, and even Duke Zheng's horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground..."
Shen Wan, “…”
Black lines piled up on Shen Wan's forehead.
Brother, you are being too hasty in doing this.
She almost slapped Duke Zheng on the forehead with the words "she and the Prince of Zheng are not compatible."
Could it be that he is scared by her threats?
Shen Wan felt a little apologetic and walked towards Shen Li's study.
The study door was open, and when Shen Wan walked in, he heard his eldest brother talking, "I remember clearly putting it here, where did it go?"
Shen Wan turned his head and saw Shen Li looking for a book on the bookshelf.
Shen Wan walked over.
Shen Li said, "Why is my sister here?"
Shen Wan said, "Thank you, big brother, for helping me break off the engagement..."
“Ahem!”
Chen Li started coughing violently.
Shen Wan asked, "What happened, big brother?"
What's wrong?
Is his sister stupid?
Such a grown man sitting there, didn’t your sister notice it?
Chen Li held his forehead, "Brother, there are guests here."
guest?
Shen Wan's heart was shocked.
She turned around quickly and saw a man sitting there drinking tea calmly.
Seeing who it was, Shen Wan almost exploded.
It’s Xie Jingyu!
Why is he in Big Brother's study?!
Thinking about how her eldest brother and Xie Jingyu were brothers and had a very good relationship, and how Xie Jingyu knew that her eldest brother loved her the most, but still bullied her like that, one should look at the owner when beating a dog. How could her eldest brother get close to such a bastard? Sooner or later, her eldest brother would cut off contact with him to avoid being led astray.
Shen Wan was filled with indignation.
Chen Li whispered, "You were quite loud just now, what should I do?"
"What else can we do? Silence them!"
Chen Wan's eyes flashed with ferocity.
Shen Li, “…”
"As expected of my sister, you are so courageous."
There happened to be a dagger on the bookshelf, and Shen Li handed it to Shen Wan, "You go ahead, big brother will dig a hole and bury the body."
Looking at the dagger handed over, Shen Wan wondered if this was still his biological brother.
Shen Wan looked towards Xie Jingyu, and he happened to look over.
Their eyes met.
Shen Wan grabbed the dagger.
Shen Li was shocked. He was joking. His sister wouldn't really go...
Just when I was thinking about catching the person back, Shen Wan went out.
He also took his dagger.
Shen Li, “…”
How could he think that his sister really had the courage to kill the Prince of Jingbei?
Chen Li was amused by his own illusion.
Shen Wan held the dagger tightly in his hand.
Just bear with it. One day, she will plunge this dagger into the bastard's heart and grind him into ashes to vent her anger.
Xie Jingyu just watched Chen Wan leave, his eyes dark and filled with emotions that were hard to fathom.
Chen Li came over and coughed lightly, "We were just joking..."
"I accept this handle with a smile."
“…”
After leaving the study, Shen Wan put away the dagger and went to Shou'an Hall.
Chen Wu, Ye Caiwei and the others were chatting and laughing around the old lady.
As soon as Shen Wan entered the room, Ye Caiwei exclaimed in amazement.
"Floating Light Brocade!"
Chen Wu and the others who had just surrounded the old lady immediately changed their focus to surround Shanhu who was holding the floating brocade.
Chen Yao touched the floating brocade, which was so smooth that she couldn't let it go. "It's true that seeing is believing. Where did Second Sister get this?"
"Just got it back from the Yun family."
Chen Wu couldn't take her eyes off Fu Guangjin. "Didn't you go to Huguo Temple? Why did you go to the Yun family?"
Shen Wan said calmly, “Duke Zheng’s wife came to the mansion, so my mother couldn’t accompany me to the Huguo Temple. I was a little scared to go alone, so I went to the Yun family instead.”
"It's a pity that the Floating Light Brocade is too precious, and the Yun family only has one piece."
Chen Wan looked at Ye Caiwei and said, "My cousin likes lavender the most, so I'll give you this piece of floating light brocade."
Ye Caiwei exclaimed in surprise, "Give it to me? My cousin is willing to give it to me?"
Chen Wan said, "I can't bear to part with it either. I want to keep it for myself. My parents want to find a good marriage for my cousin. In a few days, there will be a banquet at the Shunyang Princess's mansion. My cousin will wear a shimmering brocade dress and dance. It will surely stun everyone."
Ye Caiwei blushed, "Could it be that my uncle and aunt think I'm too much of a burden and want to marry me off?"
Girls are shy and it’s okay, but don’t speak so harshly.
Chen Wan smiled faintly, not even reaching her eyes, "If you don't want it, then I'll give it to my third sister as an early coming-of-age gift for her."
Just as Shen Wu was about to take it, Ye Caiwei quickly said, "I want it. Thank you, cousin."
Afraid that Shen Wu would snatch it from her, Ye Caiwei took the tray from Shanhu and asked her maid to hold it.
Shanhu didn't understand why the lady let her cousin wear the brocade skirt first, when she should have worn her own first. Then she thought that her cousin lost her parents because her uncle blocked the arrow for the Duke, so it was only right for the lady to give in to her, after all, the Yun family still had it.
Chen Wu wanted to snatch Fu Guangjin back, but she didn't dare to do it. She said, "Second sister is really good to my cousin."
Chen Wu is only one month older than Ye Caiwei.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Without my uncle risking his life to save me, I would have no father. It's my duty to be kind to my cousin."
They had told Shen Wan this more than once, but this was the first time Shen Wan had said it to them.
As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to putting an end to Chen Wu's idea of persuading Chen Wan to give the Fu Guang Jin to her instead. If she wanted to get the Fu Guang Jin, she could only start with Ye Caiwei.
After staying in Shou'an Hall for a quarter of an hour, Chen Wan returned to Mingyue Garden.
Inside the house, Hongxiu was arranging flower pots. Seeing Chen Wan come in, she quickly came up and saluted, "Hello, young lady."
Shen Wan helped her up and said, "I asked my grandmother for you, so you can't do such rough work. From now on, let Shanhu and Yinchuan do it."
Hongxiu was bewildered. "This is my duty..."
If she doesn't do these, what will the second girl ask the old lady to do?
Knowing her confusion, Chen Wan smiled and said, "I asked Grandmother for you because I liked your good needlework. Grandmother's and Grandmother's birthdays are only one month apart, and I embroidered a centenary picture for Grandmother. It's not right to favor one over the other, but I'm too busy to handle it all by myself. Grandmother just happened to want to reward me with a maid, so I took the opportunity to ask Grandmother for you."
"Following me is naturally not as good as following grandma, but don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Chen Wan took a gold bracelet from her dressing box and put it on Hong Xiu's wrist. "These gold bracelets originally came as a pair. Once the Hundred Longevity Picture is embroidered, I'll give you the remaining one as well."
Wearing the heavy gold bracelet on her wrist, Hongxiu felt as if it was unreal.
She knew that the second girl was always generous, but she didn't expect her to be so generous, giving a gold bracelet as a reward.
I was a little reluctant to come to Mingyue Garden before, but now I feel like a pie in the sky has fallen and hit me.
Hongxiu quickly expressed her opinion, "I will do my best to help you embroider the longevity picture."
Chen Wan didn't let her do the rough work of wiping the table and moving things, so there was no work for Hongxiu in the house. Then he took the gold bracelet and Hongxiu also got on with it and hurried to embroider the longevity picture.
Seeing Shanhu's envious face, Shen Wan tapped her forehead lightly, "Don't be envious, I will not treat you unfairly."
"I don't trust her. You and Yinchuan shouldn't be too open with her when you're together."
