Chapter 9: Bickering
Chen Yu has a good temper. Even if she is not in the mood to go shopping, if Chen Wan asks her to accompany her, she will agree to Chen Wan's request.
But when I was going out, I happened to meet the wife of the Yongqing Earl and my cousin Xu Zhiyi.
Seeing the redness in the corners of Chen Yu's eyes, Lady Yongqing was a little worried, "It's inevitable that husbands and wives don't quarrel. It's really ignorant to want to go back to your parents' home just because of a few arguments."
Xu Zhiyi apologized, "I was careless just now. I apologize to my cousin's wife..."
It turned out that he misunderstood that she was going to take her elder sister back to the Duke's Mansion to file a complaint, so he came to stop them.
In a previous life, you were afraid of your father and eldest brother, so you killed your eldest sister who caught them in an affair, right?!
Anger surged in his heart, but Chen Wan remained expressionless, "What are you arguing about? What's wrong with you compensating?"
She turned and looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was confused by Chen Wan's pretentious look.
The Lady of Yongqing asked, "Aren't you going back to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "My eldest sister damaged my brother-in-law's brocade robe and she felt bad. I accompanied her to the street to pick out a gift for my brother-in-law to make amends."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lady Yongqing's face. "Then you go."
Shen Wanfu lowered his body and left with Shen Yu.
Leaving the house and getting on the carriage, Shen Yu looked at Shen Wan, "Wan'er you..."
Chen Wan smiled and said, "Eldest sister is surprised that I, who have always been outspoken, have learned to be so hypocritical."
Chen Yu didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
Shen Wan said, "Didn't I just tell my eldest sister that it's not worth arguing with them and getting sad about something like this? I won't tell my parents and eldest brother either."
In her previous life, she and her parents didn't know about this, and her eldest sister was killed by them in less than half a month.
If we tell them, they'll be afraid and might take action in advance.
If there was no evidence, she could not directly take her elder sister away from the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion. Not to mention that her elder sister was sad about the argument with them, she hoped that her elder sister would never see them again.
Chen Yu originally had a very good marriage, and the marriage was arranged early. She was just waiting to get married when she came of age. However, a few days after her coming of age, Chen Yu and the Prince of Yongqing fell into the water together. The Prince of Yongqing rescued Chen Yu and had physical contact with her in public.
The original marriage was called off and she married the son of the Yongqing Earl.
Chen Wan will never forget the time when she, Ye Caiwei and Shen Wu were flying kites in the mansion, and the maid brought them the sad news that her elder sister's carriage lost control and fell off a cliff and died.
The eldest sister had been married for more than two years but had not been pregnant. She went to Jingmiao Temple to pray for a child, but the carriage had an accident and fell off a cliff. She died miserably, and none of the coachman and maids survived.
When my father investigated the matter, he found out that someone saw the eldest sister getting on the carriage crying, but no one knew why she was crying.
The Yongqing Marquis's Mansion held a grand funeral for the eldest sister. The Yongqing Marquis's son was in great pain and refused to eat or drink. However, this man, who seemed to be deeply in love with his deceased wife in the eyes of outsiders, got drunk as soon as his eldest sister was buried, and had sex with his cousin who deliberately wore his eldest sister's skirt to seduce her.
The fault lies with the cousin who deliberately seduced him, but his parents can't say anything to him. After all, it's impossible for the Prince of Yongqing to remain single for his entire life.
After the funeral at the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion, a wedding was held, and eight months later, a son was born prematurely.
The wife of the Yongqing Marquis did not even dare to let the Dingguo Mansion know that her own son was protecting his cousin and hurt Chen Yu's heart. What's more, they were secretly pregnant, and the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion could not afford to offend the Dingguo Mansion.
Once Chen Yu discovers their affair, the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion will not let her live.
Chen Wan has asked his cousin to investigate this matter, but he doesn't know when he will find out. As long as this matter is not resolved, Chen Wan will not be at peace.
Chen Wan held Chen Yu's hand tightly and said, "The day before yesterday, thanks to the blessing of the Taoist priest outside the Huguo Temple, I escaped a disaster. Afterwards, I asked him to help my eldest sister to calculate when she would have children. The Taoist priest said that having children is not the most important thing at the moment, and asked my eldest sister not to leave the house for the next two weeks, especially not to go to Jingmiao Temple."
"Eldest sister, promise me that you won't go to crowded places for the next half month, even to places like the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion where there are few people."
Chen Wan looked cautious and anxious. Chen Yu felt a little uneasy in her heart. She nodded and said, "I rarely leave the house. I promise you."
Chen Yu's promise was not enough. After going out to the street, Chen Wan reminded Tu Bai again, "If the eldest sister must go to Jingmiao Temple one day, you must send someone to tell me."
Tu Bai nodded, "I'll remember that."
After explaining, Chen Wan took Chen Wu to walk from the end of the street to the beginning, then changed another street and walked from the beginning to the end of the street.
Chen Wan couldn't remember the last time she and her sisters went shopping happily, or rather, they had never gone shopping together. She was always accompanied by Chen Wu, Ye Caiwei and others, and had to accommodate them in everything.
I walked around three streets and bought a lot of things, but I bought everything I liked.
Finally they entered a calligraphy and painting shop. There was nothing eye-catching on the first floor, so they went up to the second floor.
Shen Yu was walking in front, and Shen Wan was behind her. They were walking just fine, but Shen Yu suddenly stepped back in a panic and stepped on Shen Wan's foot. Shen Wan felt the pain and asked, "What happened to my elder sister?"
She looked up and saw the Prince of Zhaoping coming down.
Shen Yu moved sideways to avoid him.
His back was pressed against the wall as he dodged, and he felt so uneasy that he seemed afraid to even breathe.
The Prince of Zhaoping kept his eyes on Shen Yu's face. He didn't say anything and went downstairs.
After Prince Zhaoping walked away, Shen Yu turned around and looked at him, her eyes red.
Afraid of being discovered by Shen Wan, she only glanced at him once, then quickly retracted her gaze and hurried upstairs.
The two people who were childhood sweethearts ended up not even saying hello to each other when they met. Chen Wan felt really bad in his heart and wanted to grind Yongqing Marquis's mansion into ashes.
The man who had been engaged to Shen Yu was the Prince of Zhaoping. Because Shen Yu fell into the water and was rescued by the Prince of Yongqing, this incident caused a lot of uproar, so the wife of the Prince of Zhaoping came to cancel the engagement.
When the engagement was broken off, the Prince of Zhaoping was not in Kyoto. The day he returned to the capital was the day when Chen Yu was getting married.
He returned to Beijing with carefully selected gifts to give to Chen Yu, but saw Chen Yu in her wedding dress, getting into someone else's sedan chair. It was his mother who came to cancel the marriage, so he had no reason to even snatch the bride away.
Two years had passed since Chen Yu got married, but the Prince of Zhaoping had not even arranged another marriage.
Chen Yu only picked out a square inkstone, while Chen Wan didn't buy anything. They left the shop and each took a carriage back home.
Chen Wan watched Chen Yu leave, and when he looked away, he saw the Prince of Zhaoping riding on horseback in an empty corner, looking in the direction the carriage had left.
The figure looks lonely.
The last time Chen Wan saw the Prince of Zhaoping was on the anniversary of Shen Yu’s death in her previous life. Her parents and elder brother were all gone, so she went to pay her respects. At her elder sister’s grave, she met the Prince of Zhaoping who was also there to pay his respects.
Shen Wan still remembered how his eyes were red at that time.
perhaps--
A bold idea came to my mind.
Shen Wan couldn't control his joy.
