Shen Wan's voice was sharp and piercing. If this weren't the Changshan Prince's Mansion, she probably would have slapped Shen Rong on the spot.
Shen Rong never expected that she would be so severely reprimanded by Shen Wan for just saying one sentence. The usually quick-witted Shen Rong was now speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time, her face full of grievance, as if Shen Wan had wronged her.
Shen Ying couldn't stand Shen Wan's overbearing attitude, so she defended Shen Rong, saying, "Third sister just accidentally said the wrong thing. Eldest sister scolded her so harshly in public, completely forgetting Grandmother's instructions before she left the manor."
Thinking that using the old lady to intimidate her would frighten her, Shen Wan sneered inwardly, saying, "I don't need your reminder. I remember Grandmother's words clearly. If Second Sister thinks I shouldn't have scolded Third Sister, I will call Father and Eldest Brother to Grandmother's place after we return to the manor. I want to see if Grandmother will say a single bad word about me!"
If we don't remind them who the real head of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion is, they'll really think it's the old lady.
Shen Wan said she would tell Shen Jing, which made Shen Ying panic. She smiled and said, "It's just a little quarrel between us sisters. Uncle is so busy, don't bother him with such a small matter."
As she spoke, she winked at Shen Rong, who then said, "I misspoke, please don't take it to heart, elder sister."
After scolding them and they admitted their mistakes, Shen Wan didn't dwell on it and turned to walk towards the pavilion.
Watching her walk away, a malicious glint flashed across Shen Rong's face. "She not only scolded me, but she also brought up my uncle to intimidate my grandmother!"
Thinking of the times she had been taken advantage of by Shen Wan, Shen Ying's eyes seemed to be coated with venom. "Who told my uncle to still be in charge of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion? No matter how angry I am, I can only endure it."
But it won't be long before you have to endure it anymore...
When the time comes, she'll show Shen Wan what happens when she angers her!
Inside the pavilion, several girls were whispering among themselves. When Shen Wan entered, they immediately fell silent, their conversation quite obvious.
Perhaps feeling a little awkward, the girls all got up and left, leaving only Shen Wan and Shen Wei, along with their maids, in the pavilion.
Seeing that Shen Wan looked unhappy, Shen Wei advised, "Elder sister, don't be angry. Things may not be as they say."
She had already vented her anger over Zhao Zhuangyuan's matter in her past life. In this life, Shen Wan was only grateful that she could single-handedly stop her cousin from jumping into the fire pit again. Although she was not sure that Yun Mo would definitely marry a good husband and live a happy life in this life, at least she could get through this fire pit. With this lesson, the Yun family would be more discerning when arranging marriages for her cousin.
And there's my cousin Yunrui...
In this life, she did not marry Xie Jingyin, and Yun Mo will not marry Zhao Zhuangyuan again. The Yun family's social standing has not improved, and her cousin Yun Rui should not have that terrible marriage in her previous life. She does not know what the future holds, but at least for now, everyone still has a bright future.
Thinking of this, Shen Wan's mood brightened, and she smiled at Shen Wei, "I hope Fourth Sister can find a suitable husband."
Shen Wei's face flushed red. "Fourth sister! You're teasing me again!"
Seeing her shy expression, Shen Wan felt even happier.
In this life, teasing the fourth sister to jump up and down became a funny incident.
The two chatted and laughed in the pavilion. When they had nothing to do, they took some fish bait to feed the koi. The water surface shimmered, as if a pool of broken gold had been sprinkled on it.
Just as they were feeding them, a maid dressed in a light blue dress stepped into the pavilion and said, "Miss Shen, Prince Ling wants you to go over there to see him."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Didn't she just meet Xie Jingyan?
Why do I have to see her again...?
Could it be because of the incident where she had his bodyguards drug Miss Chen?
He must be very curious about how she knew that Miss Chen was pregnant and had an ambiguous relationship with Scholar Zhao, but didn't tell the Yun family. Instead, she exposed the matter herself. Thinking about having to explain, Shen Wan really had a headache.
However, she also had something to discuss with him, so Shen Wan said to Shen Wei, "I'll be right back."
After leaving the pavilion, Shen Wan followed her maid forward, through the garden, and headed towards the northwest corner, where the hustle and bustle gradually receded into the distance.
After walking for a while, Shen Wan began to have doubts and asked the maid, "Where is Prince Ling waiting for me?"
The maid said, "It's a bamboo house not far ahead, we'll be there soon."
After walking for a while, they indeed saw an elegant bamboo house in the distance. As they got closer, they saw an empty wheelchair outside the bamboo house, but Xie Jingyan was nowhere to be seen.
The maid stopped and said, "This is where I'll take Miss Shen."
The maidservant curtsied and withdrew, and Shen Wan led Yin Shuang toward the bamboo house.
As she approached the door, Shen Wan heard noises coming from inside the house, rustling sounds, occasionally interspersed with a soft moan or two. She couldn't hear clearly, and Shen Wan wondered if she had misheard. She was about to push the door open and go in.
My hand was about to touch the door when someone suddenly grabbed it.
Those were hands with distinct knuckles, calluses on the palms that made her hands ache from the roughness.
Shen Wan was about to scream when her mouth was covered. The next second, she was lifted into the air and only after landing did she hear a familiar voice in her ear, "Don't scream, it's me."
It's Xie Jingyan!
Shen Wan's heart, which had been in her throat, finally relaxed. She realized she was still being held, and her face flushed. "Let me go."
The person holding her obediently released her. Shen Wan turned around and saw Xie Jingyan standing there. She exclaimed in surprise, "Your leg..."
However, before Shen Wan could finish speaking, Xie Jingyan fell towards her, his voice filled with suppressed pain, "My legs hurt, hold me tight."
Shen Wan instantly forgot the proper boundaries between men and women and the rule against physical contact between them. She reached out and tightly hugged Xie Jingyan's waist. Even so, she couldn't withstand his weight as he fell over and was knocked against the artificial hill behind her.
Shen Wan then realized that Xie Jingyan had led her from the front of the bamboo house to the rockery on the left rear side of the bamboo house. She didn't see Yinshuang, so she must have been taken away by Chen Feng.
Seeing the difficulty in carrying Shen Wan and hearing her muffled groans of pain, Xie Jingyan asked, "Did I hurt you?"
How could it not hurt? What has happened to her back that it keeps getting bumped?
However, Shen Wan knew that Xie Jingyan did not do it on purpose. To avoid making him feel guilty, Shen Wan shook her head and was about to say no when suddenly a sound that made people blush came from the bamboo house.
The creaking of the bed frame was so loud that one couldn't help but wonder if the bed could withstand such intense passion and might fall apart.
God!
This was the first time she had encountered such an awkward situation in her two lifetimes.
Hearing someone raving in broad daylight was bad enough, but to hear it with a man, and even hugging him, made Shen Wan's face burn with embarrassment. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground to disappear into and never come out again.
The sounds continued, and with a low growl, Shen Wan's eyes widened instantly.
That sound—
It's Xie Jingyin!
