Chapter 8 Touched
After not being able to see his father for two days, Shen Wan was speechless. However, in his previous life, there was chaos at the border a few months later. As a general, it was normal for his father to be busy.
The people I want to see most, besides my father, is my eldest sister.
Thinking of what happened to her eldest sister, Shen Wan's mood was overshadowed.
After breakfast, Chen Wan took Shanhu to Shou'an Hall. When they passed by Mingyue Garden, Ye Caiwei came out and called out from a distance, "Cousin..."
Usually Ye Caiwei would not wait for her and would go directly to pay her respects to the old lady, but today she actually waited for her.
As Shen Wan was thinking this, Shanhu whispered, "I heard from the maid in the yard that the third lady went to look for the cousin last evening. For some reason, the two of them started arguing, and the third lady was very angry when she left..."
Ye Caiwei and Shen Wu broke up, which was Shen Wan's plan, but Shen Wan never thought that Ye Caiwei would stick to her after breaking up with Shen Wu.
Not only does she stick to Chen Wan, she even uses Chen Wan to fight with Shen Wu. How could Chen Wan be used by her?
They went to Shou'an Hall together to pay their respects to the old lady. It was obvious that Chen Wu and the third and fourth rooms isolated Ye Caiwei. They did not respond to Ye Caiwei's words and changed the subject when Ye Caiwei was speaking.
After the second time, Ye Caiwei gritted her teeth in anger and turned to Shen Wan and said, "Cousin, let's go shopping later."
When shopping with Shen Wan, most of the time it was Shen Wan who paid. The Yun family was rich, and the Yun family was even richer. Shen Wan never lacked money and was especially generous to them.
Didn’t you ignore Ye Caiwei?
If you have the guts, go out shopping and don’t follow me.
Chen Yin and Chen Yao immediately turned to her and said, "Okay."
Ye Caiwei even deliberately asked Shen Wu, "Isn't Third Cousin going?"
Shen Wu twisted her handkerchief angrily, unwilling to speak, as if once she spoke, this fight would be at a disadvantage. Shen Yao said, "Third sister will definitely go with me."
Chen Wan smiled faintly, "I won't go with you. I'm going to the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion to see my eldest sister today."
Ye Caiwei said, "It's not too late to go shopping after seeing my cousin."
The arrangement is really good.
But Chen Wan was unwilling to do so. "I've been embroidering the longevity picture these days, and the double-sided embroidery needlework I finally learned has become a lot rusty. I'm going to ask my elder sister to teach me again. I'm afraid I won't have time to go shopping."
Ye Caiwei didn't have the patience to learn needlework. Not only her, but Chen Wu and Shen Yao were also unwilling to do so.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Caiwei would have given up, but now she was isolated by Shen Wu. She would rather go to the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion with Shen Wan than stay in the Duke's Mansion and be bullied by Shen Wu and the others.
Chen Wan was annoyed in her heart, but she kept a straight face. "Yesterday I had to go to the Huguo Temple, and my cousin was too busy practicing dancing to accompany me. Seeing how diligent you were, I was planning to ask mother to invite the deputy envoy of the Inner Teaching House to come to the mansion to teach you. If you leave the mansion with me, the whole day will be wasted."
Not only did the Yun family give the Fu Guang Jin, which they only had one piece, to the cousin, they also invited the deputy envoy of the Inner Music Bureau to the mansion to teach the cousin how to dance. The second lady is too good to the cousin.
Ye Caiwei was deeply touched. "Thank you, cousin."
"It should be."
Shen Wan smiled deeply.
Don’t everyone think that she should be nice to Ye Caiwei?
Then she could show it to them, to the whole Kyoto.
She will hold Ye Caiwei in high esteem, because only by standing high can one fall hard.
She would let everyone in Kyoto know that the second daughter of Duke Dingguo was not as talented as an illegitimate daughter.
When Yun came, Shen Wan mentioned this matter to Yun, and the old lady said, "Since you have invited them, let's invite someone who is good at playing the piano to guide Wu'er and the others."
It wasn't her money that was spent, so the arrangement was really cheap.
In her previous life, the Second Madam suggested hiring a deputy envoy from the Imperial Academy for Ye Caiwei, and the Old Madam also asked for someone to teach Chen Wu and the others. Her mother spent a lot of money, but no one said a good word to her.
Yun was about to agree, but Chen Wan said, "It's not easy to invite the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial Academy to the mansion. Wouldn't Third Sister and the others learn to play the qin together? You can ask for someone else to learn the qin later, and then my cousin can follow along."
Always put your cousin first and consider things from her perspective.
The eldest house only owes Ye Caiwei, but doesn't owe the second house anything.
The old lady said, "That's fine."
Yun asked someone to take the invitation to the Neijiaofang, and Chen Wan took Shanhu to the Yongqing Earl's Mansion.
In the carriage, Chen Wan lifted the curtain and first saw the stone lions standing at the gate of Yongqing Marquis' Mansion. Looking up, he saw the gilded plaque of Yongqing Marquis' Mansion. A layer of frost seemed to cover the bottom of Chen Wan's eyes.
She hoped that today would be her last time entering the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion.
She would take her elder sister away from the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion, a den of hell, as soon as possible.
When she got off the carriage, Shen Wan had already suppressed the emotions on her face. The maid led the way and she went to see her eldest sister.
The maid led them into the house. Through the beaded curtain, Shen Wan saw her elder sister Shen Yu wiping her tears and forcing a smile. "Why did Wan'er come to Yongqing Bo's Mansion?"
Seeing the redness in her eyes, Shen Wan asked, "Eldest sister is crying?"
“No, no…”
Shen Yu flatly denied it.
Shen Wan looked at Chen Yu's maid Tu Bai, "What's going on?"
Tu Bai couldn't hold it in any longer. When Chen Wan asked, she told him everything. "Just now, the prince's cousin came and 'accidentally' tore the brocade robe that the prince's wife made for the prince. Before the prince's wife said anything, the cousin started to complain. The prince thought that the prince's wife scolded the cousin and scolded her several times..."
Tu Bai felt sorry for Chen Yu. She spent more than half a month to make the brocade robe, but instead of getting a word of praise from the prince, she was scolded.
Shen Wan's anger was also aroused, but she suppressed it with all her might. They didn't even care about their eldest sister's life, let alone the brocade robe made by her.
Because the Yun family is so rich, they don't care about anything that money can buy. The clothes that Shen Ji wears on a daily basis are all embroidered by the Yun family, which has a profound influence on Shen Wan and Shen Yu.
Chen Wan said, "Mother made brocade robes for Dad because he would cherish them and would be distressed if they were damaged. Making them for people who don't care is asking for trouble. In their eyes, what my eldest sister made herself is no different from what the embroiderers in the mansion made. Why bother with it?"
These words undoubtedly hit home, and both Shanhu and Tubai were afraid of hurting Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's nose felt sore, "I know..."
Shen Wan also said only one sentence, there was no need to say more, "It's not worth being sad about such a thing, eldest sister, please accompany me to go shopping."
Shen Yu didn't want to go, so Shen Wan pulled her up directly.
