Shen Ying quickly glanced around. Apart from the Yun sisters and their maids, no one noticed their conversation. Otherwise, Shen Ying probably would have jumped up and down on the spot.
She was burning with rage, but dared not lash out because of her reputation. The anger raged in her heart, causing a burning pain in her internal organs.
Her eyes, brimming with anger, were fixed on Shen Wan, but Shen Wan was not afraid of her anger.
Shen Wan had an expression that said "no discussion allowed," which angered Shen Yingyun so much that she flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.
Seeing her storm off, Yinshuang was a little worried, "She won't just throw away these pieces of jewelry, will she?"
Compared to Yinshuang's worries, Shenwan was quite relieved.
The sisters in the same household had grown up together since childhood, so how could she not know Shen Ying's personality?
That's both shameless and extremely concerned about saving face.
If Shen Ying doesn't take the silver notes back, and she wears these pieces of jewelry whenever she goes out, Fu Shu will definitely mock her every time she sees her. How could Shen Ying possibly stand that?
She said she would never let these heartless people take advantage of her again, and she meant it.
Shen Wan, Yun Mo, and Yun Rui entered the Jade Pavilion only to find out about the lively atmosphere of the Moon Gazing Tower. Now that the liveliness of the Moon Gazing Tower was gone, and Shen Ying had also spoiled their interest in picking out jewelry, the three of them left the Jade Pavilion and strolled around the streets for another half hour. When they were a little tired, they parted ways. Yun Mo and Yun Rui returned to the Yun family, while Shen Wan took a carriage back to the Ling Prince's Mansion.
Upon entering the Ling Prince's residence, Shen Wan headed towards the inner courtyard. Just as she reached the entrance of the Moyu Pavilion, a maidservant came running up behind her, panting, and said, "Your Highness, the Pingyang Marquis's residence has sent someone to inform you that you need to return."
Shen Wan frowned slightly and looked up at the sun in the sky. Yin Shuang asked curiously, "It's already this late, why is the Marquis's mansion sending people to look for the Princess Consort to go back?"
If we go back now, even if we only stay at the Pingyang Marquis's residence for a quarter of an hour, it will be time for dinner when we get back.
Why would they be in such a hurry to bring her back? What else could it be but to avenge Shen Ying?
It was one thing for her to be bossed around in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, but now that she's married into the Ling Prince's mansion, they still want to send a servant to deliver a message and she has to rush back.
They spoiled them.
Shen Wan had no intention of returning, but the Marquis's residence sent someone to deliver a message. If she didn't give a response, the servants of the Prince of Ling's residence would think that she didn't care about the Marquis of Pingyang's residence.
Shen Wan instructed Yin Shuang, "Go back to the Pingyang Marquis's residence and tell him that Prince Ling's leg ailment has flared up and I can't leave. I'll go back when Prince Ling's leg is better."
After Yinshuang left, Chenwan stepped into Moyuxuan.
As they were climbing the steps, they saw Chen Feng pushing Xie Jingyan through the study. The man's handsome, devilish face was expressionless, but his words still carried a hint of emotion: "You still know how to come back."
Shen Wan, "..."
The tone made it sound as if she hadn't come home all night.
She's only been out of the manor for a little over two hours!
She didn't know how much his temper had calmed down while she was away, how many cups of chrysanthemum tea he had drunk, or whether the kitchen had cooked mung bean soup for him as she had instructed.
Thinking this to herself, Shen Wan blurted out, "You're not having a nosebleed anymore, are you?"
Xie Jingyan's face darkened.
She dares to bring this up again?!
The maids and servants sweeping the courtyard all turned to look at them.
The princess is going too far. The prince has a nosebleed so badly that he needs to see a doctor, yet she still has the leisure to go out for a stroll with her cousins. She only just returned now, showing that she doesn't care about the prince at all.
Seeing Xie Jingyan's unpleasant expression, Shen Wan knew she had angered him again. How could someone who gets angry so easily not have a fiery temper? She couldn't afford to offend him, so she could only avoid him.
Shen Wan stepped into the house, leaving everyone in the courtyard, including Xie Jingyan, stunned.
Chen Feng's lips twitched repeatedly.
The prince was so angry, yet the princess went into the room without saying a word to comfort him?
The prince is easy to please; just say something nice.
Chen Feng felt sorry for his prince when he heard Xie Jingyan's voice, filled with gritted teeth:
"Back to the study!"
What could Chen Feng do? He could only push Xie Jingyan back into the study.
After entering the room, Shen Wan poured herself some tea. She instructed the maid to make chrysanthemum tea for Xie Jingyan. Unexpectedly, the maid was so attentive that she even changed the tea in the room to chrysanthemum tea. Shen Wan didn't like the taste and put the tea down after taking a couple of sips.
She had only eaten a few snacks while shopping for lunch, and was feeling a bit hungry, so Shen Wan picked up a pastry and started eating.
When Yinshuang returned from the Marquis of Pingyang's residence, it was already evening. At that time, Shenwan was reading a book. After Yinshuang returned, she poured herself a cup of tea. Haitang asked, "The Marquis's residence sent someone to look for the Princess. Did something happen?"
Yinshuang finished her tea and said angrily, "It's a good thing the princess didn't go back. I was so angry when I went back."
Haitang's curiosity was piqued. "Then tell me quickly, what is it about?"
Yinshuang looked at Shen Wan and said, "She's not as good at complaining as Second Aunt. The Princess lent her money to save face, but didn't let her take the jewelry directly. So she went back to the Pingyang Marquis's residence to complain to the old lady, saying that she had a dispute with Miss Fu from the Zhongguo Duke's residence, all to vent her anger for the Princess. In the past, when Miss Fu caused trouble for the Princess, she wanted to help the Princess but was powerless. Now that she is the Princess of Jin, she wanted to vent her anger for the Princess when she met Miss Fu. As a result, she was tricked by Miss Fu and broke the jade bracelet, and had to pay several hundred taels in compensation."
"She said she was trying to help the princess out of kindness, but the princess didn't appreciate it and embarrassed her in public, saying that she borrowed money and didn't pay it back, and that she was being wary of her. She also said that she had borrowed money from the princess before, and she never thought of not paying it back. It was the princess who said to forget about it. She thought that the sisters in the mansion didn't need to be so formal. But the princess herself said she didn't want it anymore and brought up old grievances with her. According to the maids in Qinghui Courtyard, the second young lady cried very sadly when she said that. The old lady was furious, so she sent someone to the mansion to tell the young lady to go back."
Hearing this, Haitang also got angry. "Luckily, the princess didn't go back. If she had, she would have been scolded by the old lady."
Yinshuang nodded emphatically, then, as if remembering something, she laughed again, "The old lady is really angry this time."
Shen Wan could guess what Yin Shuang had said earlier, and her expression remained unchanged. But when Yin Shuang mentioned that the old lady was furious, she looked up from her book and asked, "What's wrong with the old lady?"
Yinshuang grinned and rattled off her story, “When I went back, I happened to run into the Marquis. I told him exactly what the Princess Consort had told me. The Marquis asked about it and found out that it was the Second Aunt and the Old Madam who complained, which is why the Old Madam went to find the Princess Consort. The Marquis said that the Princess Consort had to take care of Prince Ling and told the Old Madam not to bother the Princess Consort with such trivial matters in the future, and not to allow anyone to cause trouble under the guise of the Princess Consort.”
Hearing this made Shen Wan feel completely relieved. The old lady had tried to stand up for Shen Ying and make trouble for her, but instead she ran into her father's line of fire. It would be strange if she wasn't angry.
Yinshuang chuckled, "When the Marquis sent Steward Sun to deliver this message, I was still here. At that time, the old lady's face turned purple with anger."
