The next day, Shen Wan found out what the Duchess of Wei and the Heir Apparent of Wei had done.
Lady Wei visited the old lady at the Pingyang Marquis's residence. Upon seeing Shen Wei's injured hand, she knew that Shen Wei had been wronged. She gave Shen Wei the jade bracelet she was wearing and told the Fourth Madam that she would reprimand Lady Wuding Marquis and tell her to keep a close eye on her daughter. She would never let Shen Wei suffer any more grievances. She also mentioned that her son, the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Wei, had some ointment bestowed by the Emperor and would have him send it over later.
The Duchess of Wei's attitude was impeccable, but the Fourth Madam refused the ointment.
The Marquis's mansion was already in chaos because of half a box of ointment. Shen Wei's injury was on her palm, and unlike her face, the palm is not prone to scarring, so she didn't need such a good ointment. If it were sent over, nine times out of ten the old lady would force her to give it to the third wife. Shen Wan is a prime example of this, so how could the fourth wife not learn from this lesson?
Fourth Madam was grateful to Shen Wan for supporting Shen Wei. Knowing that Shen Wan liked her red bean cakes, she personally cooked some and had Chunlan deliver them to Shen Wan.
These were the things Chunlan told Shen Wan.
Inside the room, Shen Wan was eating red bean cake. Yin Shuang returned after seeing Chun Lan off and grinned, "Your Highness, do you think the Duke of Wei's heir sent the ointment to the Fourth Miss in the end?"
Yinshuang leaned forward to ask, and Shenwan raised her hand and slapped her forehead, "You've asked so obviously, do you still need to guess?"
Yinshuang rubbed her forehead, which had been slapped so hard, and grinned, "Chunlan secretly told me that after the Duchess of Wei left, the Duke of Wei's heir climbed over the wall to deliver medicine to the North Courtyard, which almost scared Fourth Miss to death..."
Yinshuang was not surprised at all by the fact that the heir of the Duke of Wei had climbed over the wall.
Back then, a certain gentleman had difficulty walking and had to climb over the wall to visit the Marquis of Pingyang's residence many times while in a wheelchair, let alone the heir of the Duke of Wei.
Fortunately, the Duke of Wei's mansion values Shen Wei and wants them to pretend they know nothing. Shen Wan really regrets matchmaking Shen Wei with the Duke of Wei's heir. Fortunately, the Duke of Wei's heir did not disappoint her.
For the next two days, Shen Wan stayed in the house embroidering a brocade robe for Xie Jingyan.
Tomorrow is the day to attend the wedding banquet at Prince Jin's mansion. There's still one sleeve that's not finished embroidering. Shen Wan is in a hurry. She had dinner with Xie Jingyan. After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, washed her hands, and continued embroidering.
Xie Jingyan, "..."
He had asked for a belt before, and it took a long time to embroider it before it was his turn.
Why are you in such a hurry to embroider a brocade robe for him now, wishing you could finish it overnight?
Luckily, this brocade robe was embroidered for him, otherwise he would have been furious.
After Xie Jingyan finished dinner, he went to his study and read for more than an hour before returning. Shen Wan was still sitting in front of the embroidery frame.
Xie Jingyan sat on the bed looking at Shen Wan and said, "We're going to the Prince of Jin's mansion for the wedding tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."
Shen Wan didn't even look up. "You should go to sleep first. There's only a little bit left to finish embroidering."
He's not in a hurry to wear it, so why does he have to finish embroidering it today?
Xie Jingyan stood up, walked to the embroidery frame, picked up Shen Wan, and said, "Go to sleep first, we can finish the rest tomorrow."
Shen Wan struggled, "No, I have to finish embroidering."
She's been working on it for days, and it's almost done. She'll finish embroidering in half an hour, and she won't give up.
Xie Jingyan said, "Give me a reason why you must finish embroidering tonight."
Shen Wan said, "I want you to wear the brocade robe I made for you to the wedding banquet tomorrow."
Xie Jingyan looked at the person in his arms, "Reason."
There are so many reasons for this.
Xie Jingyan stared intently at her, refusing to let her go without giving him a reason.
What could Shen Wan do? She could only mumble and say truthfully, "Isn't it because I was so embarrassed by my cooking last time? I'm making you a brocade robe to make me look... virtuous."
Xie Jingyan, "..."
Just because she cooked for the last time and completely overwhelmed everyone in Mo Yuxuan, the word "virtuous" is no longer applicable to her, and this is something that can't be made up for by wearing a brocade robe.
and--
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan with suspicion in his eyes, "You don't even consider yourself the Princess Consort of Ling, so what do you need the reputation of being virtuous?"
Shen Wan couldn't answer the question. She struggled to get out of Xie Jingyan's arms and said, "You should go to sleep first."
She sat back down in front of the embroidery frame, picked up a needle, and got to work.
Seeing that Shen Wan wouldn't give up until she finished embroidering, Xie Jingyan let her be. He sat on the bed and looked at Shen Wan with a complicated expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Shen Wan knew Xie Jingyan was watching her. She glanced at him briefly and urged, "You should go to sleep first."
Xie Jingyan obediently lay down, but did not fall asleep.
Half an hour later, Shen Wan finally finished embroidering the brocade robe. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. She couldn't wait to see Xie Jingyan wearing it. She was so sleepy that she folded the brocade robe and went to bed.
She walked to the bedside, and Xie Jingyan wrapped his long arm around her waist, pulling her onto the bed. Shen Wan was startled, "You're not asleep?"
Xie Jingyan hugged Shen Wan tightly, letting her rest her head on his arm, and said, "Go to sleep."
Shen Wan settled into a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep while holding him.
She slept in the same position as when she woke up the next day. Shen Wan was surprised to see Xie Jingyan in bed when she woke up. She guessed it was because she had gone to bed too late last night. Xie Jingyan got off the bed and, seeing that Shen Wan was not fully awake, said, "Aren't you going to let everyone know how virtuous you are?"
Shen Wan's ears turned red as she realized that this bastard was waiting for her to bring him a brocade robe. She immediately got off the bed, brought the robe, and helped Xie Jingyan put it on.
He wore a dark blue brocade robe with a gold-embroidered jade belt around his waist, which echoed the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered in gold thread at the collar, making him look handsome and ethereal, like an immortal. He also wore a purple jade crown, exuding an air of nobility.
Xie Jingyan was so handsome that no one in the entire capital could compare to him. He looked good in anything, and Shen Wan couldn't take her eyes off him.
