Chapter 88 Return
The marriage between Princess Jiangling and the Marquis of Wucheng went more smoothly than Shen Wan had expected.
Xie Jingyu did a great job on this matter, and my eldest brother should thank him very much.
Chen Wan looked at the golden hairpin in the brocade box, thinking of picking a time to send it to Princess Jiangling.
The next day, Chen Wan went to pay her respects to the old lady. Yun presented the list of wedding invitations to the old lady for review. The old lady looked through it and thought it was okay, "Send it like this."
Shen Wan said, “I’ll deliver the wedding invitation to Prince Yong’s Mansion.”
One sentence attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Wu said, "It's just to deliver the wedding invitation, why does Second Sister need to go in person?"
Chen Wan said, "The last time I accompanied my elder sister to buy jewelry, I accidentally snatched the hairpins from Princess Jiangling. Princess Jiangling gave the pair of jade hairpins to my elder sister. I have always wanted to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to thank her. Princess Jiangling must be in a bad mood these days. I can take the opportunity of delivering the wedding invitation to comfort her."
"I'll go with you," Chen Wu said decisively.
Why do you want to join in every fun?
Shen Wan was unhappy, but before she could figure out how to refuse, Shen Wu couldn't go.
Princess Yunluan from Prince Kang's Mansion will be coming to the mansion soon.
Shen Wu wanted to stay and greet Princess Yunluan, so she said to Shen Wan, "I will accompany you to Prince Yong's Mansion tomorrow."
Is there anyone who can accompany you like this?
Chen Wan said, "Third sister has just met Princess Yunluan, so just tell her that you have to accompany me to Prince Yong's Mansion today and ask her to come to the mansion tomorrow."
"How can this be possible?" Shen Wu blurted out.
Shen Wan said, "I'm going to Prince Yong's Mansion today, and my third sister has to accompany me, today."
The tone was firm and no room for negotiation.
Chen Wu said to the old lady, "Princess Yunluan came to the mansion, but Second Sister didn't even bother to greet her. We must not let Princess Yunluan think that we at the Duke Dingguo Mansion are neglecting her."
The old lady looked at Chen Wan, and Chen Wan said, "When I said I was going to Prince Yong's Mansion, I didn't know that Princess Yunluan would come to the mansion. Princess Yunluan sent a letter inviting Third Sister to go to Prince Kang's Mansion to appreciate the flowers, but she didn't invite me. It seems that among so many sisters in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Princess Yunluan only wants to be friends with Third Sister."
Chen Wu said, "How can this be the same? My second sister is engaged, so it's not convenient for Princess Yunluan to invite you."
Shen Wan smiled and said, “It was I who misunderstood. I didn’t know that when I invited Third Sister to Prince Kang’s Mansion last time, it was with the intention of seeing her.”
Shen Wu blushed, "That's not what I meant!"
But if Shen Wan wanted to think so, Shen Wu couldn't stop her. She was just engaged, not infected with the plague, so why was it inconvenient to invite her?
Shen Wan was too lazy to argue with them, so the maid reported that the carriage was ready, and Shen Wan got up.
The old lady did not stop Shen Wan. No matter how partial the old lady was, she could not go too far and let Shen Wan accommodate Shen Wu in everything.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Wan took Shanhu to the Yongwang Mansion.
The servant of Prince Yong's Mansion was surprised by Chen Wan's arrival, but Chen Wan was the apple of the eye of Duke Dingguo Shen Ji's eye, and the future princess of Prince Jingbei, who was married by imperial decree, so the servant of Prince Yong was very attentive.
Xie Jingyu has a good relationship with Prince Yong, so how could he neglect his princess?
The steward of Prince Yong's Mansion sent a maid to report to Princess Jiangling while inviting Shen Wan into the mansion.
Shen Wan handed the wedding invitation to the steward and said, "I came to see the princess and brought the wedding invitation with me."
When the fourth young master married Qu Yan, there was no need for Shen Wan to personally deliver the wedding invitation to Princess Yong, he could just give it to the steward.
The steward took it, and when Shen Wan walked down the steps and entered the inner courtyard, Prince Yongwang came out.
Seeing the Prince of Yong, Shen Wanfu bowed and saluted. The Prince of Yong nodded as a return gesture and told the maid, "Let the princess thank Miss Shen properly."
Maid, “……???”
The maid was a little confused.
I don't understand why Prince Yong asked Princess Jiangling to help Xie Chenwan.
But Shen Wan could guess that it must be about breaking off the engagement.
After a brief encounter, Chen Wan followed the maid to see Princess Jiangling. Prince Yong thought of what Xie Jingyu had told him and went to the study to find Prince Yong.
When I walked to the garden, I saw Princess Jiangling coming from afar. She was wearing a cloud brocade dress embroidered with crabapple leaves. She was even more radiant than the last time I saw her in the Jade Pavilion.
Princess Jiangling was a little surprised, "Why did Miss Shen come to my Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I'm here to return the princess's golden hairpin."
Taking the brocade box from Shanhu, Shen Wan handed it to Princess Jiangling.
Princess Jiangling recognized it immediately and asked curiously, "My eldest brother gave this golden hairpin to the Prince of Jingbei. How come it's in your hands? Why are you giving it back to me?"
Shen Wan said, "Prince Jingbei has misunderstood. I am looking for this golden hairpin, not because I want to own it."
Princess Jiangling looked at Chen Wan blankly. Chen Wan smiled and said, "Princess, are you curious about why I'm looking for this golden hairpin?"
Very curious indeed.
But her intuition told her that it was better not to be curious.
Princess Jiangling said, "Let's go to the pavilion over there and talk."
The two entered the pavilion.
After sitting down, Chen Wan handed the golden hairpin to Princess Jiangling and said, "I found a portrait in my eldest brother's study. It didn't depict her face, but the girl was wearing this golden hairpin. Out of curiosity, I asked my maid to go to the jewelry store in Kyoto to inquire about it. However, the maid was careless and lost the picture, and it fell into the hands of the Prince of Jingbei. That's why the princess had to reluctantly give it up..."
boom.
Princess Jiangling's face turned red as if it exploded.
As expected, I can't be curious. Who would have thought that Miss Shen Er was looking for the gold hairpin because of this.
Seeing Chen Wan looking at her with a smile, Princess Jiangling's face was burning with anger, "This, this golden hairpin, was also given to me by someone..."
The maidservant didn't expect her princess to lie, and her eyes widened.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I know, it was given by Prince Yong."
Princess Jiangling, "..."
Princess Jiangling took the brocade box silently and said nothing more.
Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Shen Wan didn't say much. She had a good relationship with Princess Jiangling in her previous life. Now that she knew that the person her eldest brother liked was her, she liked him even more in her heart, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Princess Jiangling accompanied Shen Wan to appreciate the flowers in the garden for a while, and then took Shen Wan to see Princess Yong. Princess Yong praised Shen Wan highly and gave the red jade bracelet on her wrist to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan stayed in Prince Yong's Mansion for nearly an hour before saying goodbye. Princess Jiangling saw her out of the mansion.
Shen Wan took a carriage back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Xie Jingyu riding towards him. The sunlight shone on him, and it was so bright that it was outrageous.
Shen Wan, “…”
Shen Wan’s face flushed.
It became famous for him.
Why does he like coming to their Duke Dingguo Mansion so much?
If you meet someone, you must say hello. Shen Wan greeted him and said, "Prince Jingbei is here to see my eldest brother?"
"I'm here to see my father-in-law."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Don't stop until your words shock people.
Who is his father-in-law? !
He shouted so fluently that Shen Wan almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and felt that all the blood in his body rushed to his face.
The gatekeeper was also stunned.
Their second daughter hasn't married yet, so isn't it too early to call him father-in-law?
