Chapter 84: Instructions
In her previous life, Chen Wan had an accident in Prince Kang's Mansion. Qu Yan had already married into the family and went to Prince Kang's Mansion that day to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Kang. Chen Wan knew that those people drugged her in order to help Xiao Yun, but she didn't expect that such poison was bought from a quack doctor on the street!
Shen Wanqi's chest was heaving, and she forced herself to calm down. She had to think carefully about who Madam Qu was going to harm with Yuanyang Powder.
Mrs. Qu, the wife of Minister Qu, has only a pair of children. In her previous life, the eldest young master Qu got married early. Apart from her, there was no news of anyone else being harmed by Yuanyang Powder.
Chen Wan thought about Madam Qu's abnormality. She was the one who even her eldest brother was not satisfied with, yet she agreed to marry her daughter to a shameless man like Chen Xun. In her previous life, she had many demands on her mother, but was very nice to the second wife. This was too abnormal!
For those cruel and ruthless people, Shen Wan had to think of the worst. Originally, Qu Yan was going after her eldest brother, but her eldest brother was on guard and avoided her. She was saved by Shen Xun and had to get engaged to Shen Xun.
If the matter had been settled, Qu Yan wouldn't have had to marry Chen Xun.
Chen Yu and Li can remarry, not to mention that Qu Yan was just saved by Chen Xun. Once she succeeds, Qu Yan will not have to marry Chen Xun.
For Qu Yan's lifelong happiness and for the sake of Minister Qu's mansion, Madam Qu will definitely take risks.
The more Shen Wan thought about it, the more scared she became. She had suffered greatly from it, and she must not let her elder brother make the same mistake again!
Shen Wan got up and went to the front yard to look for Shen Li.
Shen Li was reading a book. Seeing Shen Wan coming in, Shen Li asked, "Why is my sister here?"
Chen Wan asked Shanhu to guard the door and said, "I am a little worried, so I came to remind my eldest brother to prevent him from falling into the calculations of Minister Qu's mansion again."
Shen Li, “…???”
Chen Li was a little bewildered, "Minister Qu has only one daughter, and she has already been promised to my second brother."
Chen Wan said, "Why are Grandmother and Second Aunt so anxious to get Second Brother married first? It's because as long as Miss Qu doesn't marry Second Brother, this matter will remain uncertain."
Chen Li frowned, afraid that he would not take it seriously, so Chen Wan said, "My maid just saw Madam Qu's personal maid buying Yuanyang Powder on the street. It is a very strong aphrodisiac. Big brother, think about it, if that medicine was prepared for you, in the end, who would marry Miss Qu, you or second brother?"
Chen Li's expression suddenly turned grim. "Why did Minister Qu insist on marrying his daughter to me?"
Chen Wan said, "Because my father holds military power and the Yun family is rich enough to rival a country, marrying the eldest brother is definitely better than marrying the second brother."
Although Qu Yan ended up hooking up with Shen Xun in the previous life, the title fell into the hands of the second house at that time, and without the status of the prince, Shen Wan didn't believe that Qu Yan would still be interested in Shen Xun.
Shen Li said, "I will be careful."
I'm afraid that even if I'm careful, I can't prevent it. I have to prepare for the worst. Shen Wan warned, "Brother, bring a secret guard with you when you go out. If you get caught accidentally, they can take you away."
If Chen Wan hadn't reminded him last time, Chen Li would have been tricked. Chen Wan reminded him, and Chen Li didn't dare to ignore it.
As long as my eldest brother hasn't gotten married, there is no guarantee that no one will set their sights on him. Xie Jingyu said he would help her investigate the son of Marquis Wucheng, but it has been a few days and I don't know if he has found out yet.
Zhaolanxuan.
In the study, Xie Jingyu was reading a military book.
Suddenly there was a retching sound outside the window.
Chen Ping asked, "Who's outside?"
"It's me."
Secret guard Chen An jumped in through the window, and Chen Ping asked, "Are you sick?"
"Not sick, just disgusting."
Chen An looked at Xie Jingyu, "Master, the Marquis of Wucheng really likes Long Yang. I saw it with my own eyes..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen An couldn't help but feel like vomiting again.
He knew that there was an Xianggu Pavilion in Kyoto, and he also knew that there were some people in the world with special hobbies.
The Prince of Wucheng entered through the back door of Xianggu Pavilion. In order to confirm, he climbed over the wall to see what was going on.
Really, as soon as I walked in, I wished I could go blind.
The prince of Wucheng Marquis carried a grown man to the bed. Chen An still couldn't recover from the impact of that scene.
So disgusting.
The Prince of Yongwang has a good relationship with the Crown Prince. If he knew that his future brother-in-law was such a person, he would probably be so angry that he would pick up a knife and stab the Prince of Wuchenghou to death.
Chen Ande said, "The Marquis of Wucheng usually visits Xianggu Pavilion once every three to five days."
"Let Prince Yong come to see me."
…
The next day was the day when the Zhaoping Earl's Mansion presented the betrothal gift.
There were a total of sixty-four loads, and the wild geese among them were caught by the Prince of Zhaoping himself in the mountains, which shows how much effort he put into it.
Lady Zhaoping knew that Chen Wan had to get married within three months, otherwise her life would be in danger. She came to the mansion today to discuss the wedding date and had made all the preparations. According to the horoscopes of Chen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping, she picked two auspicious dates and asked the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to finalize it.
I thought the wedding date could be set, but when Yun went to pick her up, she apologized, "Yu'er and the prince's wedding will be postponed."
These words were like a bucket of cold water that chilled Lady Zhaoping to the core.
Lady Zhaoping's voice trembled, "Why, why?"
She was afraid that the Duke Dingguo's family would break off the engagement.
Yun said, "The old lady wants the second young master to marry Minister Qu's daughter first."
Lady Zhaoping asked, "I'm afraid Minister Qu won't agree?"
"Agreed."
Lady Zhaoping was somewhat disappointed.
A few days ago, Mrs. Qu was still putting the marriage on hold, and she was worried that it would not go through. Now, not only can the marriage be done, but she is also going to do it first.
Lady Zhaoping knew that the old lady had something against her and the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion, and she would not be able to sleep or eat until she married Chen Yu.
But the Duke Dingguo's Mansion insisted on letting the second young master get married first, and she had no say in the matter.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping smiled bitterly and said, "I've already picked the day..."
Yun said, "The old lady is worried that the marriage will change. What if I insist on letting Yu'er marry first and something goes wrong later, and the marriage can't be completed..."
The Lady of Zhaoping said, "I understand your dilemma. We are very satisfied that you and Duke Dingguo are still willing to marry Yu'er to Yanchuan. But can you and Duke Dingguo give me a definite answer as to when Yu'er can get married?"
Yun said, "I have discussed this matter with the Duke. I'm afraid it will be one or two months after Wan'er gets married."
That means another three or four months.
She has been waiting anxiously these days. If she has to wait for another three or four months, Lady Zhaoping doesn't dare to think about how she will have to endure the days.
Lady Zhaoping said, "I know you don't want the wedding to be held too close together, but a month or two later won't make much difference. Can we hold it right after the second young master's wedding and before the second young lady's wedding?"
Yun Shi felt that this was not possible, so Chen Wan came over and said, "Mother, if my second brother gets married this month, my eldest sister will get married next month, and I will get married the month after that, wouldn't that be perfect?"
Yun said, "You have to get married before the eighth day of the next month. The time is too tight, and there may not be an auspicious time. Besides, there are only ten days left in this month. No matter how anxious your grandmother is, the Qu Shangshu Mansion will not agree to hold the wedding this month."
Shen Wan said, "Mrs. Qu Shangshu is very satisfied with my second brother, so she may agree."
"As long as Minister Qu's mansion agrees, you and Dad will agree to let my eldest sister get married next month, okay?"
Yun was troubled. "Why do you insist on letting your eldest sister marry first?"
Shen Wan certainly couldn't tell the truth, she said, "Last time my eldest sister got married, it was my mother who dressed her up. This time I want to dress my eldest sister up."
Yun Shi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Even after you get married, you can still come back to dress up your elder sister."
"It's too early. I can't get up."
"When I come back to dress up my elder sister, the prince of Zhaoping will be extremely anxious."
Yun, “…”
Lady Zhaoping knew that Chen Wan was helping her, so she followed Chen Wan's words and said, "Yu'er's life was saved by the Second Miss and the Prince of Jingbei. The Second Miss can share in the Second Miss's happiness by dressing Yu'er."
Yun said, "If the Second Young Master gets married within this month, and there's an auspicious time the month after next, the Duke and I will agree to let Yu'er get married next month."
Yun thought this was impossible.
If it really happened by chance, she would have no problem agreeing to her daughter's request.
