However, since it was Prince Ling who sent Shen Wan and said he would come to pick her up later, Old Madam Yun did not insist that Shen Wan return to Prince Ling's residence. She had not seen Shen Wan for some time. Yun Mo and Yun Rui came back yesterday and said that Shen Wan had not lost weight and had even become more radiant. She did not believe it and thought that Yun Mo and Yun Rui were only reporting good news and not bad news. Unexpectedly, it was true.
Prince Ling himself was too ill to eat, but he took good care of Wan'er.
Yun Mo and Yun Rui didn't expect Chen Wan to come to the Yun family. After hearing the maid's report, they rushed over. As soon as they entered the house, they were glared at by Old Madam Yun.
Shen Wan quickly said, "Grandmother, please don't blame them. I asked them how you and Grandfather were doing, and that's when they told me. If you scold them, they won't dare to tell me again."
Madam Yun forbade Yun Mo and Yun Rui from telling Shen Wan, so that she would worry about it.
But since Shen Wan pleaded on behalf of Yun Mo and Yun Rui, Old Madam Yun didn't say anything more.
Shen Wan asked, "Where is my maternal grandfather?"
Madam Yun shook her head and chuckled, "You didn't send anyone to let us know you were coming. Your maternal grandfather, uncle, and cousin have all gone out. When they return, they'll definitely regret not staying at the manor today."
Shen Wan took Old Madam Yun's arm and said, "Next time, I will definitely send someone to let you know in advance."
Madam Yun nodded with a smile.
When the embroidery workshop in the front yard sent over embroidery patterns, Shen Wan and Old Madam Yun helped Yun Mo choose embroidery patterns for her dowry. The blush on Yun Mo's face never faded.
After the embroidery pattern was chosen, the head of the embroidery workshop withdrew, and a maid came in and said, "Madam, Prince Ling has arrived."
Almost as soon as the maidservant announced it, Xie Jingyan entered the room.
Shen Wan thought he would wait for her at the main gate of the Yun family, but she didn't expect him to come into the inner courtyard to pick her up.
However, it would be best if he came to Liushuang Courtyard. His grandmother saw that his complexion wasn't as bad as she had imagined, so she wouldn't worry about them too much.
Upon seeing Xie Jingyan enter, Old Madam Yun quickly stood up to bow to him, but Xie Jingyan stopped her, saying, "You are my wife's maternal grandmother. If you bow so much, I will never dare to come to the Yun family again."
After hearing this, Madam Yun dared not be polite any longer and quickly sat back down.
She carefully examined Xie Jingyan; he had lost a lot of weight since the last time she saw him, but he still looked quite energetic, which put Old Madam Yun at ease.
Husband and wife are one; only when Xie Jingyan is well can Shen Wan be well.
Xie Jingyan sat for a while, and then Shen Wan said to Madam Yun, "I will come to pay my respects to my maternal grandmother again next time. I will be leaving now."
Madam Yun nodded. Since Yun Lang was not in the mansion, she asked Yun Mo and Yun Rui to escort Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan out of the mansion.
At the gate of the Yun family, after boarding the carriage and waving goodbye to Yun Mo and Yun Rui, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "Don't you feel dizzy and nauseous in the carriage?"
The carriage was bumpy, and she felt nauseous from the journey from the Ling Prince's Mansion to the Yun family, so she was worried about Xie Jingyan.
Xie Jingyan said, "I'm fine."
It's good that you're alright.
Xie Jingyan asked, "Where would you like to go?"
Shen Wan, "..."
She should be the one asking that question.
She was accompanying him shopping.
Why does it feel like he's shopping with her?
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, who then realized what was happening and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to Changping Street, the most bustling and prosperous street in the capital.
In the past, when they went out, Xie Jingyan would always hold Shen Wan and let her sit on his lap. This time, he didn't. In fact, ever since he started feeling nauseous, he had been very well-behaved with Shen Wan, especially these days. Shen Wan knew what he was worried about, but she was not used to him like this.
She glanced at Xie Jingyan several times, and Xie Jingyan seemed to see through her thoughts, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Want to sit on my lap?"
"you!"
"asshole!"
Shen Wan was filled with shame and anger. She cursed twice, then lifted the carriage curtain to look outside and ignored him.
Xie Jingyan smiled, but there was some sadness and regret in his eyes. His illness was inexplicable. Sometimes he felt that he was not sick, and sometimes he felt that he was about to die. If he had known that he could not give her a future, he should not have touched her after taking the aphrodisiac. Now it was too late to regret it.
Shen Wan sensed Xie Jingyan looking at her, but she was afraid of being ridiculed, so she didn't dare to turn around and could only force herself to look at the street.
As I looked around, a luxurious carriage came into view.
She knew that carriage all too well.
It's Princess Huai'an's carriage!
She thought Princess Huai'an would arrive in the capital in two more days, but she didn't expect that in this life she would arrive two days earlier than in the previous life. Princess Huai'an had already arrived in the capital, but her elder brother had not yet returned.
Shen Wan asked Xie Jingyan, "Do you know when my elder brother will return to the capital?"
Xie Jingyan said, "Your eldest brother hasn't returned yet. He should be waiting until things in Meizhou are over before returning to the capital with your cousin."
Seeing Shen Wan's anxiety, Xie Jingyan chuckled and said, "Your elder brother isn't worried about his life's most important event, but you're so anxious."
The eldest brother isn't in a hurry; he doesn't know how many people want to marry Princess Huai'an, but she does.
In their past life, the eldest brother and Princess Huai'an fell in love at first sight. When he proposed to others, Princess Huai'an refused to marry him. If they hadn't fallen in love at first sight in this life, the situation might have been very different.
Shen Wan said, "Princess Huai'an has already arrived in the capital."
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Are you sure?"
Shen Wan blurted out, "I saw the carriage that Princess Huai'an was riding in."
Xie Jingyan frowned almost imperceptibly.
Shen Wan hasn't left the Ling Prince's residence these past few days. Princess Huai'an must have only arrived in the capital in the last two days. The only reason Shen Wan would recognize her carriage is because she saw it in a dream.
But can one remember things from a dream in such detail?
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Seeing Shen Wan looking troubled, Xie Jingyan said, "Want to say hello to Princess Huai'an?"
Shen Wan exclaimed "Ah," then hesitated, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to greet someone so abruptly?"
Although she had met Princess Huai'an before, it was several years ago, and Princess Huai'an probably didn't even remember what she looked like.
She was afraid that her sudden attempt to curry favor would frighten Princess Huai'an.
Xie Jingyan chuckled, "If you're afraid of scaring Princess Huai'an, then let Princess Huai'an greet you first."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan's mind was a little foggy, but Xie Jingyan had already raised his hand to knock on the carriage. Chen Feng rode over, "Master?"
"Go and take care of this."
"yes."
"..."
A big question mark hung over Shen Wan's forehead.
She was in the carriage with Xie Jingyan. She was sure that Xie Jingyan hadn't given Chen Feng any instructions separately. Was he sure that Chen Feng could understand his instructions perfectly?
The carriage proceeded to Changping Street, but did not stop. Instead, it detoured to another street. Just as Shen Wan was about to ask Xie Jingyan where they were going, the carriage was suddenly hit hard by something. If Xie Jingyan hadn't grabbed Shen Wan's arm in time, she would have definitely crashed into the carriage door frame.
Shen Wan asked, "What happened?"
The servant replied, "The carriage from Prince An's residence suddenly went out of control and crashed into our carriage."
Shen Wan, "..."
Xie Jingyan just said that Princess Huai'an should take the initiative to greet her...
She thought he was joking, but she didn't expect him to actually be able to do it.
It's just a bit mean.
If Princess Huai'an gets into any trouble, her elder brother will give him a good beating when he returns to the capital.
