Shen Wan turned around and saw Chen Feng pushing Xie Jingyan over.
He sat lazily in his wheelchair, his handsome face utterly repulsive, and the way he looked at Shen Wan made it seem as if she had cheated on him.
Shen Wan, "..."
The King of Qin keenly noticed the word "also." Indeed, given the King of Jin's temperament, he would not give up easily. He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. If even the King of Jin can't undermine me, I will not humiliate myself."
"I won't disturb your flower viewing any longer, goodbye."
The King of Qin left in a good mood.
Shen Wan didn't know why he was in such a good mood, so she just kept watching the King of Qin's departing figure.
A man in a wheelchair looked at her, his face darkening. "Should I send someone to bring him back so you can talk some more?"
He practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, but Shen Wan didn't realize it and assumed he genuinely meant it, saying, "No need."
Xie Jingyan choked on his breath, nearly choking himself to death.
Noticing someone staring at her, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "Why are you here?"
Xie Jingyan scoffed, "Can't I come?"
Shen Wan, "..."
It's true what they say, "If we don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much."
It's not that he can't come, but that he didn't come in his previous life, so Shen Wan tacitly agrees that he won't appear in this life either.
Just then, she had a question to ask him that she had been holding back for days. Shen Wan questioned him, "You clearly promised me that you would postpone the wedding by six months, so why did you move it to next month?!"
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and asked, "When did I agree to that?"
Shen Wan said, "You went to visit me that day, you clearly promised..."
In the end, Shen Wan's beautiful brows furrowed, and she said that she would use the Taoist priest's words to postpone the wedding by six months. He didn't respond.
"Silence means consent."
Xie Jingyan said, "I was so angry that I couldn't speak!"
Shen Wan looked at him and asked, "What's there to be angry about?"
Isn't this a good thing for everyone?
Xie Jingyan suspected that he had come here just to be bullied, and he said irritably, "As long as you don't marry into my Lingwang Mansion, I have to be on guard against someone trying to steal your wife away."
Shen Wan, "..."
She couldn't deny that others were trying to poach her from him.
But that corner of the wall is fake.
However, from Xie Jingyan's perspective, running into her was incredibly unlucky, so it's no wonder he was on guard. Shen Wan said, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not let your reputation be damaged."
Yinshuang tugged at Chenwan's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, say something nice to coax Prince Ling."
Then Shen Wan coaxed her, saying, "Many young ladies from prominent families have come to the Changshan Prince's Mansion today. Go and see if there's anyone you like. I'll try to make room for her as soon as possible."
Xie Jingyan turned to look at Shen Wan.
Chen Feng rubbed his forehead.
Is that a nice thing to say, Miss Shen?
She's clearly trying to drive the master crazy.
"Chen Feng!"
"Let's go!"
Chen Feng decisively pushed the wheelchair away.
Watching them walk away, Yinshuang said, "Prince Ling seems even angrier."
Shen Wan sensed it too, but she spoke from the bottom of her heart, so heaven knows why he got angry.
This person is becoming increasingly unpredictable, but given his pride and the many things he's been through, it's normal for him to be a bit eccentric. Hopefully, my older cousin can get a doctor to come to Beijing as soon as possible. Once his leg heals, he shouldn't get angry so easily anymore.
Shen Wan prayed silently. As Xie Jingyan walked away, the suppressed anger on her face could no longer be contained and was released. Her face was extremely ugly. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in front of him and blocked his way.
It was Chen Yu.
Xie Jingyan asked, "Is there something you need to report?"
Chen Yu said, "Miss Shen instructed me to poison the daughter of Chen, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy."
Xie Jingyan frowned deeply. "What kind of medicine did you use?"
Chen Yu shook his head; he hadn't investigated. "Should I go and check?"
Xie Jingyan said, "No need, just do as she instructs."
Although it's unclear why she drugged him, given her character, she wouldn't do anything immoral. It would be good enough if she didn't get sold out and ended up helping him count the money.
Chen Yu leaped and disappeared down the path.
After Xie Jingyan left, Shen Wan led Yinshuang to the center of the garden, where there were many people. In just a short while, there were even more people in the garden, including not only young ladies from noble families but also young masters from prominent families.
Upon seeing Shen Wan, Shen Wei said, "Big sister is here. I've been looking for you for ages."
Shen Wan asked, "What do you want with me?"
Shen Wei said, "It wasn't me looking for you, it was my second sister who didn't see you and asked me to look for you."
Following Shen Wei's direction, Shen Wan saw Shen Ying having a great time.
Shen Wan said, "If she wants to find me, she can do it herself. You don't have to listen to her in everything."
Shen Wei nodded repeatedly.
The two admired the flowers nearby. It wasn't too hot yet, so there weren't many butterflies, only a handful. When they saw a pretty one land on a peony, Shen Wei became interested and used her embroidered handkerchief to chase it.
While they were having fun, a gust of wind blew by, and the embroidered handkerchief in their hand was blown away, rolled over the peony flowers, and fell to the ground.
Shen Wei chased after the embroidered handkerchief, but after taking two quick steps, she suddenly stopped and blushed.
The embroidered handkerchief fell in front of a man, who bent down to pick it up and handed it to Shen Wei. "Is this your embroidered handkerchief, Miss?"
Shen Wei stood still, and the maid quickly stepped forward to take it and stepped behind Shen Wei. Shen Wei curtsied and said, "Thank you, young master."
Shen Wei thanked him and was about to leave when the man brought up the topic of crabapple blossoms. Feeling embarrassed to leave, Shen Wei stayed and chatted with him for a few more minutes.
Not far away on the White Jade Bridge, the heir of the Duke of Wei stood there, and upon seeing this scene, his brows furrowed.
Shen Wei was shy and couldn't refuse people. Shen Wan was about to call her when a commotion came from the pavilion, followed by a maid's urgent cry, "Something's wrong! Someone has fainted!"
Shen Wan called out "Fourth Sister" and then walked towards the pavilion.
Shen Wei felt that Shen Wan's shout was like heavenly music. She quickly caught up with Shen Wan. When they arrived at the pavilion, it was already surrounded by people.
Princess Danyang hurried over and asked, "Who fainted?"
"She is the eldest daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy."
The crowd parted to make way, and Princess Danyang saw Miss Chen lying unconscious on the ground. Not only had she fainted, but she also had a lot of red rashes on her face.
One of the ladies from a respectable family remarked, "It looks like she accidentally ate something that caused an allergic reaction."
Normal allergies don't cause fainting; only extremely severe allergies that threaten life will cause this.
The peony banquet held by the Prince of Changshan's mansion was supposed to be a lively event, but if someone were to die, that would be terrible. Princess Danyang hurriedly said, "Quickly, please summon the imperial physician to take a look."
Generally, when holding a large banquet, a doctor would be invited to stay at the mansion as a precaution. The Changshan Prince's Mansion would invite a royal physician every year.
The maidservant was about to fetch the imperial physician when Miss Chen's maidservant panicked and hurriedly said, "No need, no need to fetch the imperial physician. Princess Danyang can just send someone to take my young lady back to the manor..."
