Shen Wan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said, "We'll be separating the family soon. From now on, the Marquis's mansion will only have the eldest son's branch, and we won't have to deal with these troublesome things anymore."
Princess Huai'an nodded.
She also hoped that the Marquis's mansion would split up.
Shen Wan changed the subject, asking, "What does the Empress want with my sister-in-law in the palace?"
Princess Huai'an asked in surprise, "You knew so quickly that the Empress wanted me to come to the palace?"
The Empress summoning her to the palace was no small matter; she knew this was normal, so why was she so surprised?
Thinking about how Princess Huai'an came directly from the palace to Prince Ling's residence, yet didn't mention a single word about it...
Shen Wan asked, "Does the Empress's summons to the palace have anything to do with me?"
Princess Huai'an didn't want to tell Shen Wan, but since Shen Wan had already asked, if she didn't tell, Shen Wan would definitely send someone to the palace to inquire.
There was no way to hide it any longer, so Princess Huai'an stopped trying to conceal it. She said, "Since Shen Ying was demoted, she has been depressed these days. The imperial physician said that her pregnancy is unstable. The Empress asked me to come to the palace because she wanted me to persuade you. The sisters in the family are fighting so much that one of them is having a miscarriage and the other has been demoted. It's making a laughing stock. She couldn't persuade the Emperor to restore Shen Ying to her position as the Princess Consort of Prince Jin. So she asked you to go and beg the Emperor."
Shen Wan laughed upon hearing this.
Because she was pregnant, Empress Song did not dare to approach her directly, so she indirectly pressured Princess Huai'an to come to her.
Princess Huai'an did not want to be coerced by Empress Song, but dared not openly disobey, so she still came. However, she thought that she would not know about Empress Song finding her and entering the palace so quickly, so she just went through the motions and dealt with Empress Song. She did not expect that Shen Wan would find out so quickly and could not keep it from her.
Shen Ying has schemed against her time and time again, yet she still expects her to consider their sisterly bond?
OK.
She takes care of that.
I hope Empress Song won't regret it.
Shen Wan said, "It always puts my sister-in-law in a difficult position."
Princess Huai'an shook her head. "I was just being polite. It's nothing to make things difficult for you. But you're pregnant, so don't take these things to heart."
Shen Wan nodded.
After Princess Huai'an left, Shen Wan went to the study to find Xie Jingyan. "I want to go to the palace. Will you come with me?"
Xie Jingyan looked at her and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"
Shen Wan said, "Empress Song asked Princess Huai'an to persuade me to speak well of the Prince of Jin's concubine so that the Emperor could restore her to the position of principal wife. I went to the palace to ask the Emperor to do so."
Yinshuang's eyes were wide open.
He wanted to know whether his princess was being righteous or sarcastic.
Xie Jingyan saw through Shen Wan's intentions at a glance and said helplessly, "You're pregnant, so don't bother. It's just going to the palace to 'plead' for someone, I'll go in your place."
