Chapter 200: One sentence was enough to make Sheng Jingyu lose her bearings.



"Have you packed everything?" Su Wenyuan asked first.

They were simply standing there, without saying a word, but Su Wenyuan already understood their intentions.

The group looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.

Su Wenyuan laughed and said, "If you want to persuade me, then forget it. I was young when the incident happened and I don't remember it clearly, but you saw it clearly. Don't force me to deal with you all as well."

These words sent chills down their spines, and they couldn't help but back away.

When Ye Shan came in, she glanced at them and then whispered in Su Wenyuan's ear, "Wang Shi is dead."

Su Wenyuan wasn't too surprised; she figured it would happen in the last couple of days.

If Su Yuan is moving away, he certainly won't take Wang Shi with him as a burden.

Besides, Wang Shi has lived long enough, and she has wasted a lot of Hua Ling's medicine during this time. Every time it is mentioned, Su Wenyuan can feel Hua Ling's heartache.

She cleared her throat and said to the people in the courtyard, "Wang Shi is dead. Anyone who is curious and wants to see her should go quickly."

The thought of Wang's current miserable state made everyone's scalp tingle. No one would be curious, but they would be even more afraid of Su Wenyuan.

These people came over early in the morning, said nothing, and then quickly left Rongzhuyuan.

Ye Shan continued, "Lord Su has requested leave and need not attend court today."

"Then let's urge them to move quickly." This was the only thing on Su Wenyuan's mind.

Su Yuan did not attend court, but Sheng Jingyu did. After getting up, he returned to the Prince Chen's residence first, as it was inconvenient to change clothes and wash up at the Su residence.

Su Wenyuan was busy dealing with matters at the Su residence and forgot to send someone to inform him.

During the morning court session, the emperor learned that Su Yuan had not come and saw Sheng Jingyu. He couldn't help but feel resentful and said a few words to him.

Some ministers chimed in, essentially telling him to keep Su Wenyuan in check.

Don't act so absurdly. At least try to save face for Su Yuan, after all, he is a subject of Anchuan Kingdom.

The Emperor didn't say that Su Wenyuan was forbidden from seizing the house; he only told her to be careful with her methods. Sheng Jingyu couldn't really argue with him and could only listen silently.

If Su Yuan were here, the Emperor wouldn't have said these things; he was afraid Su Yuan would burst into tears on the spot.

Only when Su Yuan was not present did the Emperor dare to remind Sheng Jingyu in this way.

After the morning court session ended, Sheng Jingyu headed straight for the Su residence, thinking on the way that he had to ask Su Wenyuan why no one had told him that Su Yuan was not attending court today.

Meng Qi noticed that his expression was off and asked, "Your Highness, are you angry?"

"What do you think?" Sheng Jingyu retorted irritably.

Meng Qi shrank back, sensing something was wrong. Would the prince and the princess quarrel?

The carriage stopped in front of the Su residence, and Sheng Jingyu quickly got off.

Su Wenyuan was arranging for someone to remove the signboard above the entrance, but there was no new one to replace it; she just wanted to take this one down first.

Seeing Sheng Jingyu approach, he quickly asked, "Your Highness, what do you think would be a good idea to change this place to?"

"Whatever you want," Sheng Jingyu said without giving it much thought.

Su Wenyuan said, "I can't do it like you, I don't know how, but you do. Let's pick a nice-sounding name. I believe in you."

This is too much of a brain drain, and she hasn't read many books or read many ancient poems here. She's afraid that if she finally comes up with a name, she might make a fool of herself.

Although Sheng Jingyu had pretended to be blind for many years, he spent all his time in his study with books in his hand, so this kind of small matter was no problem for him.

Su Wenyuan's so-called belief was only because she saw that he studied more diligently than she did.

Sheng Jingyu, however, understood a different meaning and even filled in his own imagination, causing the corners of his mouth to visibly curl up.

When the carriage stopped, Meng Qi went to find help. Knowing that he was bad at talking and might make things worse by trying to mediate, he hurriedly called Ye Shan over.

"Sister! Hurry up, the prince and princess are about to fight!" Meng Qi shouted as he ran.

Su Wenyuan was stunned when she heard this. Who was fighting with whom?

Sheng Jingyu quickly rebuked him, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Now it was Meng Qi's turn to be dumbfounded, with Ye Shan standing next to him, unaware of the truth, wondering if her younger brother had gone mad.

"Since they've all moved out, you should go back to Prince Chen's residence to rest. I'll take care of the rest," Sheng Jingyu said gently, without a trace of anger on his face.

Meng Qi rubbed his eyes, realizing something was wrong. Wasn't Sheng Jingyu angry just now?

To confirm that he wasn't delirious, Meng Qi reminded him, "Your Highness, is there something you forgot to tell the Princess?"

At this moment, only Su Wenyuan's words came to Sheng Jingyu's mind: "I believe in you!"

To hell with all those thoughts that crossed my mind while I was in the carriage.

"Your Highness?" Meng Qi called out again, oblivious to the danger.

With so many people around, Sheng Jingyu couldn't warn him with her eyes, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Ye Shan, take your brother away."

Ye Shan didn't dare to waste a moment, grabbed Meng Qi and ran, even faster than before.

Su Wenyuan asked in confusion, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

“A little. This morning at court, my father asked me to keep an eye on your behavior, saying that it wasn’t good for you to be so blatantly humiliating Su Yuan.” Sheng Jingyu’s attitude was very gentle.

There was no blame, and no complaint.

Su Wenyuan suddenly realized, "Oh, is that so? If I had known Su Yuan wasn't going, I wouldn't have let you go this morning. Thank you for your trouble. I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble next time."

"There's no need for anyone to watch over us here. Let's go back together. The manor has prepared a fresh meal; you should like it."

Sheng Jingyu quickly replied, "It's not hard work."

Look at Su Wenyuan, how thoughtful and sensible she is. She didn't do it on purpose today, and she even said she wouldn't cause trouble for herself in the future.

Seeing the two get into the carriage, Ye Shan, who was hiding nearby, quickly arranged for someone to follow them back to the mansion.

At the same time, he slapped Meng Qi on the back of the head and said with exasperation, "Can't you be a little smarter?"

"Is this something I can learn? I'm not smart to begin with, and besides, the prince... something's not right." Meng Qi said, feeling wronged.

Hua Ling suddenly appeared and asked, "Did something start going wrong today? Or did you just notice?"

Ye Shan smiled sheepishly: "He's silly, it's good enough that he even noticed."

Meng Qi stopped talking. Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't noticed, but every time he saw it, he had to re-understand it, and then he still couldn't understand it.

Because of Su Wenyuan's words, Sheng Jingyu lost his bearings; who can understand that?

Seeing that he was still thinking, Hua Ling laughed and said, "Being too smart isn't a good thing. Stop thinking about it, I'll take you to find something to eat."

Meng Qi followed him away. Actually, Hua Ling had asked him to help with some work.

He found a good spot in the back garden where he could grow some hard-to-grow medicinal herbs, and he had already told Su Wenyuan about it.

Su Wenyuan didn't care. The place was so big, she could plant medicinal herbs all over it, since she didn't need them anyway.

All she wanted was the Banyan and Bamboo Garden.

I wonder if any of Yu Qingzhu's belongings remain in that courtyard.

Apart from the Banyan and Bamboo Courtyard, Su Wenyuan handed over all the other items in the mansion to Ye Shan and others to handle.

Collect the valuable items together, and sell them later when you have nothing else to do.
