Chapter 124: Slap in the Face
The Second Lady could not guess that the Prince Yong's Mansion was sending her a dowry as a gift from her future in-laws. She just thought that the Prince Yong's Mansion had something to ask Shen Ji. The Second Lady did not dare to ask too much about the affairs of the court because Shen Ji did not allow it.
What made the Second Lady even more curious was that Shen Wan actually dreamed of something that did not happen, and therefore she and the Prince of Jingbei saved the Emperor's life. This was unbelievable.
Since it was a matter concerning the Emperor, no one dared to question it. Shen Ji and Yun Shi were busy with other things, so they both left, and Shen Wan did not stay either.
On the way back to Qingyi Garden, thinking about the two months when the two sisters had laughed and joked together to relieve boredom, she felt very reluctant to part with them. Fortunately, Shen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping finally got married. Shen Wan was happy for them, especially when the emperor appointed Shen Yu as a princess. This surprise was so great that Chen Wan wanted to go to the palace to kowtow to the emperor and thank him properly.
Thinking that the emperor would pass away in a year, Shen Wan's good mood was overshadowed.
The emperor has always been good to her. Shen Wan sincerely hopes that the emperor can live a long life. As long as the emperor lives one day, Xiao Yun will not be able to sit in that position.
Chen Wan still remembered that Xiao Yun was made the crown prince, but only two months later the emperor fell ill and died after being bedridden for just over a month. Chen Wan suspected that the emperor was killed by Queen Song and her son.
On the way back, Chen Wan was thinking about this. Yin Chuan was stumbling towards this side and accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.
Shen Wan came back to her senses in shock, and Shan Hu went over to help her, "Don't you even look at the road when you walk?"
Yin Chuan got up from the ground, looking a little panicked. Shen Wan saw her and asked, "What happened?"
Yinchuan wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Shanhu said, "Is there anything you can't say to a girl?"
Yinchuan glanced back a few times, especially at the path she had just come from. After making sure that no one was around, she whispered, "Just now, I saw the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Madam over there. The Second Young Master was deliberately blocking the Fourth Young Madam's way, and... "
Shen Wan's face darkened and his voice became heavier, "What else?"
"He even touched the Fourth Young Lady's face..."
Yinchuan's voice trembled when she spoke of this.
She returned to Qingyi Garden from the small path. Fortunately, she saw the Second Young Master walking towards the Fourth Young Madam, so she quickly hid. Otherwise, if they knew that she saw the Second Young Master taking advantage of the Fourth Young Madam, they would kill her to silence her.
Yinchuan decided never to take the small path again. It was too scary.
Shen Wan's face was so gloomy that ink could almost drip from it.
Anger surged to the top of her head, but was suppressed by her.
In her previous life, Qu Yan married her elder brother and was involved with Shen Xun. In this life, she married Shen Xun, who was far inferior to her elder brother. It would be easier for Shen Xun to tease her.
There is no doubt that Chen Xun is definitely wearing a green hat.
Shen Xun's fiancée married Shen Xun and hooked up with Shen Xun...
Chen Wan didn't even dare to think about what everyone in Kyoto would say about the Duke Dingguo's Mansion when this matter was exposed. But it was okay. Only when things got so chaotic would his father have a sufficient reason to separate the second and fourth branches from the mansion.
Back at Qingyi Garden, just as Shen Wan reached the gate, a little maid ran up behind her, panting, "Second Miss, the Prince of Zhaoping was pelted with rotten eggs on the way back to Zhaoping's mansion with his bridal sedan chair..."
Chen Wan frowned, "The prince of Zhaoping was hit?"
The maid shook her head, "No, I dodged it."
Shanhu said angrily, "It must have been done by someone from the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion. The Yongqing Marquis's son embarrassed himself by welcoming his bride, so they want the Zhaoping Marquis' son to be embarrassed as well, bringing bad luck to the young lady."
The Prince of Yongqing was marrying his cousin and was hit by rotten eggs. The wedding banquet was a mess. How could he not hold a grudge in his heart? In addition, he believed that it was the work of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now that he had the opportunity to take revenge and save some face, he would definitely not miss it.
Being hit would bring bad luck. If the Prince of Zhaoping dodged it, the bad luck would fall on the Prince of Yongqing himself.
The grand occasion of Chen Yu's wedding was already a slap in the face of Prince Yongqing, but he still felt it was not enough and offered his face to be stepped on.
The Prince of Yongqing was hit with rotten eggs when he was getting married, and became the laughing stock of Kyoto. As her ex-husband, he kept pestering her, and even the rotten eggs couldn't hit the Prince of Zhaoping, which was really embarrassing.
The Yongqing Marquis's family regretted it deeply.
The attempt to murder Shen Yu failed, and he also made enemies with the Dingguo Mansion. Now, Yongqing Earl is having a hard time in the court, and Yongqing Earl's son cannot serve as an official in the court. His life is over. After Shen Yu divorced, she not only rekindled her relationship with Zhaoping Earl's son, but also enjoyed a more glorious life than when she married Yongqing Earl's son. The emperor also named her a princess.
The Mansion of Duke Dingguo and the Mansion of Prince Jingbei are on good terms. Both of them hold military power. It is no exaggeration to say that when Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingbei join forces, even if it is a useless prince, they can help him sit in that position as long as they are willing.
With such a father-in-law to help him, he would surely be able to rise rapidly in the court, but he gave up such a bright future and married his cousin. The Prince of Yongqing married his cousin but did not love her much. The Lady of Yongqing also blamed her niece for seducing her son and ruining his life. Even the Lady of Yongqing herself had a hard time.
In the past, Earl Yongqing respected her and suppressed some of his ideas. Now, Earl Yongqing's mansion has been messed up by this inconsiderate mother and son. Not to mention the future, it is even a question whether the ancestral foundation can be preserved in the future.
The respect was gone, and within two months, the Earl of Yongqing took in three concubines. The Earl of Yongqing's wife made a fuss, and the concubines fanned the flames. The Earl of Yongqing got angry and slapped the Earl of Yongqing's wife in the face.
Towards evening, a few maids who had gone to the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion to watch the excitement returned and told Shen Wan about the lively wedding banquet at the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion. "The Yun family's cousin also went to the wedding banquet and sat at the same table with the Crown Prince, the Jingbei Prince, and the Yuzhang County Prince."
The maid told Shen Wan about this, which showed that this arrangement was unusual. Even Shen Wan hadn't expected Yun Yan to go to the Zhaoping Marquis's house to attend the wedding banquet and sit at the same table with Xie Jingyu, Yuzhang County Prince and others. No matter who arranged it, it showed full respect to Shen Yu and the Yun family.
Shen Wan was in a very good mood. The maid said, "Prince Jingbei was forced to drink a lot of wine..."
Shen Wan, “…???”
What's the point of forcing Xie Jingyu to drink?
When Shen Wan thought about this, Shanhu asked aloud. The maid shook her head, she didn't know, "Those people toasted the Prince of Jingbei one by one. As for why they toasted, the Prince must know."
Those people toasted Xie Jingyu with wine, so how could she ask her elder brother? She hadn't even gotten married yet, so how could she care about Xie Jingyu drinking? Even if she got married, she couldn't do anything about it given their relationship.
But Chen Wan couldn't help but worry. She was not worried that drunkenness would harm her body, but the psychological trauma left over from her previous life. She was worried that Xie Jingyu would molest people when he was drunk.
In this life, he hasn't been abandoned by his sweetheart and hasn't been hurt by love. He shouldn't go around molesting girls when he's drunk, right?
Shen Wan, “…”
Why drink so much alcohol for no reason?!
Soon Shen Wan realized that her worries were unnecessary, but not unnecessary.
When Xie Jingyu drank too much, he did molest the girl, but the person he molested was not someone else, but her.
Um.
Xie Jingyu climbed over the wall to find her again.
At that time, Chen Wan had already imagined that he had molested the girl, was caught by someone, and made a big fuss. She went to ask the emperor to revoke the marriage. She was lost in thought when there was a sudden knock on the window.
The sound goes from light to heavy.
After three knocks, the window opened and someone came in.
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu looked at her, "Isn't it scary this time?"
Shen Wan did not answer. She quickly got off the small couch, running faster than Shan Hu who was rushing out to guard the door.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
