Chapter 90 Thanks
Shen Li and Xie Jingyu went out of the house to drink, while Shen Wan took Shan Hu back to the inner courtyard.
I was in a good mood, even my steps were light, and my face was filled with a smile that was even brighter than the sun above my head.
When Shen Wu and Shen Ti saw each other, they were more jealous than the other.
The scented handkerchief in Chen Wu's hand was not torn.
The jealousy that was rooted deep in her heart grew wildly like a vine, strangling her so much that she could hardly breathe.
Why is she, Shen Wan, so happy every day, with the love of Shen Ji and Yun Shi, and endless money to spend!
Chen Wan was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry or songs, but she was able to marry the Prince of Jingbei. She, on the other hand, studied hard, but in the end she lost all her face and became a laughing stock.
Why?!
Chen Wu was unwilling to accept this and was even more annoyed that Princess Yunluan asked her for help.
What could they do knowing that the painting was in the Yun family? The Yun family had denied it earlier. Neither the Yun family nor Shen Wan were willing to help unless they had a way to bypass the Yun family and Shen Wan and take the painting directly from the Yun family, but this was obviously impossible.
Chen Wu returned to the courtyard with a belly full of jealousy. The maid brought the food to her. Chen Wu had no appetite. She took two bites and put down her chopsticks. "No more."
The maid advised, "Young lady, this is all you can eat. How can it be enough? I made your favorite pigeon soup today. Please have some."
Shen Wu stood up, and when she heard this, something flashed through her mind.
As for Chen Wan, after having lunch with Shen Yu in Mingyue Garden, she returned to Qingyi Garden. Thinking that Shen Yu was getting married soon, she prepared to embroider a double-sided round fan for her as a makeup addition.
Just as she finished drawing the embroidery pattern, the maid came in and said, "Second Miss, Third Miss is here."
After her rebirth, Chen Wan no longer let Shen Wu and the others take advantage of her, and she deliberately kept her distance. The person who used to be eager to come to her yard twice a day hadn't come for several days, and Chen Wan was happy to have some peace and quiet, so why did he suddenly come to see her?
By the time the maid reported, Shen Wu had already come in, holding a box of rouge in her hand.
Shen Wan asked, “Why is the third sister here?”
Chen Wu smiled and said, "Princess Yunluan came to the mansion today and didn't see Second Sister. She was very sorry. She brought gifts for the sisters in the mansion. This rouge is Second Sister's favorite color, so I saved it especially for you."
When did she, Chen Wu, become so kind?
Don’t tell me he put poison in the rouge.
Chen Wan said, "I appreciate Princess Yunluan's kindness, but I have too much rouge to use up. You can take this box."
Chen Wu asked, "Second sister, do you really not want it?"
Shen Wan smiled faintly, “I will definitely not be polite to you, Third Sister.”
Shen Wu handed the rouge to the maid.
...It seems that she was too suspicious. The rouge is not poisonous.
Chen Wu sat down and looked at Chen Wan's embroidery pattern, trying to find something to say. Chen Wan couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. She didn't believe that Chen Wu just came to give her rouge. For such a small matter, she could just send a maid to tell her. Besides, she didn't even stay to greet Princess Yunluan, so she didn't have to give her the gift that Princess Yunluan brought.
It was so unusual that someone who usually fought over her things would think of leaving her a share.
Chen Wan didn't ask what Chen Wu was doing there. She wanted to see how long Chen Wu could hold it in. But Shen Wu left after a short while.
Shen Wan, “…???”
Is he really here to give her rouge, or does he have something to ask for but is reluctant to ask?
Shen Wan felt that neither was possible.
Chen Wu is not so idle, nor is she a shameless person.
There must be a problem.
But I don’t know where the problem lies.
After leaving Qingyi Garden and walking to a deserted place, Biliu whispered, "Young lady, you guessed right. What Young Master Yun gave to Second Young Lady was indeed a carrier pigeon. There are traces of something tied to the pigeon's ankle."
Chen Wu asked, "Do you remember what the pigeon looks like?"
"I remember."
"Go to the street and buy an identical one and bring it back."
…
Chen Wan embroidered the screen for half an hour and felt a little tired, so she went for a walk in the yard.
As soon as I went out, I saw Shen Li walk in.
Chen Wan was just looking for an opportunity to ask his elder brother why he fell in love with Princess Jiangling, but he didn't expect his elder brother to come to him.
Seeing Shen Wan's eyes shining, Shen Li's steps became weak, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Wan whispered, "I'm curious about what happened between Big Brother and Princess Jiangling half a year ago..."
Chen Li raised his hand and poked Chen Wan on the forehead, "You are too curious."
Shen Wan said, “I want to be less curious, but my brother is still not destined to be together.”
Shen Li, “…”
No rebuttal.
Chen Li did not hide it from Chen Wan. Half a year ago, Princess Jiangling went to Huguo Temple to burn incense. On her way back to the city, it rained heavily. The wind broke the bamboo, hit the carriage, and scared the horses.
Princess Jiangling was thrown out of the carriage and it was Chen Li who saved her. The two of them rolled on the ground covered in mud, looking as miserable as they could be.
But this matter did not spread. Shen Yu had to break off the engagement and marry the Prince of Yongqing because she was saved by the Prince of Yongqing. However, Princess Jiangling and the Prince of Wucheng were matched by the Empress Dowager and granted by the Emperor. If this matter spread, it would not be good for Princess Jiangling and Shen Li, so they kept it secret.
No one in Prince Yong's Mansion knew about it, and no one in Duke Ding's Mansion knew about it either. Even when Shen Wan asked at this moment, Shen Li didn't tell her everything. He was really embarrassed to tell Shen Wan that he accidentally kissed Princess Jiangling when he saved her.
Chen Wan guessed that something special was happening between Chen Li and Princess Jiangling, and sure enough, she was right.
After the doubts were resolved, Shen Wan felt relieved and asked, "Brother, do you have something to ask me?"
Shen Li said, "Brother-in-law asked you to thank him."
Shen Wan, “…”
"It's my eldest brother who owes him a favor, why do you want me to thank him?" Shen Wan protested.
Chen Li laughed, "My brother-in-law is the prince of Jingbei, how could he care about your thank you gift? I'm just looking for an excuse to try the cakes you made."
Shen Wan was a little confused, "Pastry?"
"Well, didn't you make some pastries two years ago? The Prince of Jingbei wanted to try some, but I didn't give it to him. He still remembers it."
“…”
The corners of Shen Wan's mouth twitched, "You didn't tell him that the pastries I made were terrible?"
Shen Li said, "If you put less salt this time, it shouldn't taste so bad."
Thinking of the pastries made by Shen Wan, Shen Li felt thirsty. Why didn't he let Xie Jingyu eat it? It was because it was too disgusting, so disgusting that it was indescribable. He really wanted Xie Jingyu to become his brother-in-law. If Xie Jingyu tasted the pastries, he would definitely stay away from his sister.
It's a pity that he had good intentions, but in Xie Jingyu's eyes, he was stingy and was reluctant to share the pastries made by his sister with outsiders.
He had thought about telling the truth, since his brother-in-law couldn't run away anyway, but Xie Jingyu helped him so much, just wanting to taste Shen Wan's cooking skills, he had been thinking about it for two years, and he really couldn't bear to refuse.
"Be careful this time and don't burn the kitchen down again."
Shen Wan, “…”
Does she have to make this pastry?
