He knew that Shen Wan cared about the Yun family's affairs, but there was no need to rush to propose marriage to the second young master of the Yun family.
He slowed down and waited for the carriage to arrive. He said, "It's getting late today. We can go and propose to your second cousin tomorrow."
Shen Wan asked, "Wouldn't it be different to go today?"
Xie Jingyan said, "Since we are going to propose marriage, we should send a formal letter first. If we show up abruptly, we might scare them away."
Well, I should send a visiting card before I go to their door.
However, given her and Xie Jingyan's status, sending a visiting card would be quite intimidating, wouldn't it?
She's alright. Xie Jingyan is the kind of person who dares to refuse even when summoned by the Emperor, yet he's going to the residence of a minor official of the fifth rank. If he sends his visiting card there, it will definitely keep Lord Tao up at night.
Although Shen Wan was anxious, she listened to Xie Jingyan's suggestion to send a visiting card first.
She lowered the carriage curtain, but then realized that Xie Jingyan wasn't the type to do things in such a rigid way. Thinking of something, she lifted the curtain and looked at Xie Jingyan, "Don't you know where the residence of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is?"
Xie Jingyan, "..."
Um.
Not only Xie Jingyan was unaware, but Chen Feng and the carriage driver were also unaware.
A fifth-rank official is too far removed from Xie Jingyan's wife; he doesn't even have the qualifications to send gifts to the Ling Prince's mansion, let alone know which street or alley the Tao family residence is located on.
We can't exactly ask around the whole way.
If it were an extremely urgent matter, that would be one thing, but this matter is really not that urgent, there's no need for it.
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Do you know where it is?"
Shen Wan, "..."
She didn't know either.
Shen Wan silently lowered the carriage curtain.
The servant drove the carriage back to the Prince Ling's residence.
Xie Jingyan dismounted, and Shen Wan got off the carriage. He tried to take Shen Wan's hand, but instead, Shen Wan stepped up the stairs.
Xie Jingyan followed behind Shen Wan, a scene that greatly surprised the gatekeeper.
How could the princess walk ahead of the prince?
But then I thought that these were their prince and princess, and it all seemed perfectly normal.
The prince in their family has been lacking in authority for quite some time now.
Thinking this, a cry of "Ah!" rang out, followed by the gatekeeper asking whether their master's authority as husband had been strengthened or collapsed.
They saw the prince, who hadn't been able to hold the princess's hand, pick her up.
Shen Wan was startled when Xie Jingyan suddenly hugged her, and struggled, saying, "Put me down."
Xie Jingyan said, "You wouldn't be angry with me just because I didn't do what you wanted to do, would you?"
Shen Wan said, "I wouldn't get angry over such a small thing."
Xie Jingyan agreed, saying, "That means he's jealous."
Shen Wan huffed, "Why would I be jealous?"
“I’m jealous of the horse,” Xie Jingyan said.
"..."
"You're angry because I didn't ride in the carriage with you."
"..."
You can't hide even the slightest bit of her temper from him.
Even if you guessed it, you can't admit it.
She, the dignified Princess Ling, is jealous of a horse? How shameless of her!
Shen Wan pouted and said, "I didn't."
They're so angry, and it still hasn't happened.
Xie Jingyan didn't expose her, his eyes filled with laughter as he carried Shen Wan away.
Steward Zhou came over to greet them, and Xie Jingyan instructed, "Send a visiting card to the residence of Tao, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Tomorrow, I will accompany the Princess to pay a visit."
