Shen Wan planned to do this within three days, but unexpectedly, she found an opportunity on the second day.
The old lady wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures. Whether she was really copying them or not, no one dared to disturb her. Chen Ying and the others were bored, so they came to Qinglan Garden to visit Chen Wan.
They were reading when they arrived. Upon seeing them, Shen Ying said, "When did you become so fond of reading, eldest sister?"
Shen Wan said, "If I don't read, I can't do anything else to pass the time."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wei asked, "Hasn't eldest sister recovered yet?"
Shen Wan said, "It's much better than a few days ago, but I still can't do needlework. There's still a lot left to embroider for Grandmother's Hundred Longevity Picture."
Shen Rong glanced at the embroidery frame and said, "I don't know when eldest sister will fully recover. I'm afraid she won't be able to finish embroidering before Grandmother's birthday banquet. My second sister and I are not very good at embroidery, otherwise we would have embroidered it for you."
Shen Ying then said, "Fourth Sister's embroidery skills are quite good. Why don't you let Fourth Sister embroider for you until Eldest Sister recovers?"
Shen Wei nodded repeatedly, "I'll help you embroider, big sister."
Even when others set traps for her, the fourth sister would happily jump into them.
Doesn't she think that just because she's sick, she absolutely has to give the old lady this "Hundred Longevity" painting? Will giving it to the old lady guarantee her a long life?
Shen Wan was disappointed in her, but she didn't refuse out loud. "Then my fourth sister can come here to embroider. It'll keep me company and help me pass the time."
Shen Wei nodded repeatedly, the tassel hairpin in her hair swaying.
Shen Wan invited Shen Ying and the others to sit down. Shen Rong said, "I heard that the Changshan Prince's Mansion is already preparing for the Peony Banquet. The invitations should be sent to the mansion in the next couple of days. My eldest sister is still not well, so I'm afraid she won't be able to attend."
In her previous life, Shen Wan attended the peony banquet. If she had only missed seeing the peonies, she wouldn't have been disappointed. However, she had other plans, and she had to go to the Changshan Prince's Mansion.
But given that she's been ill for so many days, it's uncertain whether the Prince of Changshan's mansion will still send her an invitation.
Ziyu brought over tea, and Shenwan pointed to the window and said, "Take that pot of peonies outside to get some sun."
Ziyu served tea to Shenying and Shenrong, then walked towards the window.
Shen Wan was gently stirring her teacup, just about to take a sip, when suddenly a loud crash came from the ground. Before Shen Wan and the others could react to what had happened, Yin Shuang's urgent cry rang out, "The Hundred Longevity Painting!"
