Chapter 226: Smaller
Zhao was a young lady from a noble family and had never been slandered like this in public before. For a moment, she even threw away her usual manners and instinctively started cursing.
After she finished speaking, she realized that something seemed wrong, so she cleared her throat and regained the dignity of a lady from a noble family.
Zhao put on an embarrassment and looked at Prince Anding, "Your Highness, my daughter-in-law is the mistress of the Shen family. How could she possibly embezzle money? Your Highness, you must be clear-headed."
Prince Anding also didn't believe that Zhao would do such a thing. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Wan growled like a madman.
"Words are not enough. You have to look at the accounts to know. Your Highness, please move over and take a look. If you defend Madam without even looking at the account book, I won't tolerate it."
Wenwan is very familiar with throwing tantrums and playing tricks.
Prince Anding's face darkened. "Put the account book aside for now. I have something important to attend to..."
"No!" Wen Wan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please don't forget what the general entrusted to me before he left. If you are so unfair, don't blame me for being rude."
Not only did he wrongly accuse the mistress, but he also threatened the prince.
This concubine is so brave!
The shop owner was dumbfounded. He wanted to speak up for the mistress and say a few fair words, but seeing the situation, he didn't dare to get involved.
Forget it, as a shopkeeper, he should stay out of his masters' business.
Prince Anding was already very angry. Wen Wan embarrassed him in public and completely ignored him, which made him instinctively want to get angry.
He was about to speak when he saw Wen Wan blink almost imperceptibly.
King Anding was not a stupid person and he reacted after a few hints.
"You ignorant woman, you are talking nonsense! There are no shameless people in my Shen family! Well, today I will make you convinced!"
As he spoke, Prince Anding strode into the shop.
In the distance, an ordinary-looking bearded man had walked out of the crowd. Seeing this, he retracted his foot.
After entering the shop, Wen Wan's face darkened without any delay.
"Your Majesty, please speak further."
Prince Anding nodded and followed her to the backyard.
Before Zhao could react, she was left there, and neither Prince Anding nor Wen Wan had any intention of paying any attention to her.
"Your Majesty..."
Wen Wan interrupted without even turning her head, "Don't follow me, we have something important to say!"
Zhao's face darkened and her lips moved. Before she could refute, she heard Prince Anding say:
"Listen to Aunt Wan, don't come over yet."
Zhao was so angry that her heart ached. She was the mistress of the general's mansion, so why was she treated like an outsider?
But she had to obey the prince's orders.
Behind the screen in the corner.
Wen Wan asked immediately, "Your Highness, where did you get the note in your sleeve? Do you know what it is used for?"
Prince Anding took out the invitation and said in a deep voice, "It was presented by an aide in the palace. He said that the treasure auctioned in the invitation is of great importance to the country."
Seeing that Wen Wan recognized the post, he asked suspiciously, "How did you know about this post?"
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and told him everything about the Azhu family and the military map.
"Your Highness, the people of the Azhuo family are extremely cunning. Otherwise... you'd better not take any risks. Meng Jin will definitely investigate this matter anyway, so our Shen family should stay out of it..."
"Aunt Wan!"
Prince Anding shouted angrily and laughed coldly, "You are just a woman, you should be prudent and protect yourself. I don't blame you! But I am the prince of the Duan Dynasty, and the stability of this Duan Dynasty is also my responsibility!"
Wen Wan was stunned and suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.
When she was anxious before, she analyzed the problem from her own perspective.
She was thinking that since Shen Yu handed the Shen family over to her, she had to protect the safety of the general's mansion.
In this matter, I don’t know what the Azhu family is planning. From the perspective of an observer, it is definitely safer to stay away from them.
How could she forget that Prince Anding and Shen Yu were not only members of the Shen family, but also the parents of the Duan Dynasty.
She is too narrow-minded.
"No matter how cunning the Azhuo family is, even if this journey is fraught with danger, if it involves the military strength and map of the Duan Dynasty, I must go on this trip!"
Prince Anding sighed softly, shook his head and sighed.
"I used to think highly of you, but now it seems that women will only be trapped in the inner chambers. When it comes to the safety of our country and our family, we are still unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility."
These words really made Wen Wan blush.
After saying this, Prince Anding turned and walked out of the shop.
Wen Wan stood there with red cheeks, staring blankly at Prince Anding as he left.
Seeing that Prince Anding was about to disappear in the crowd, she gritted her teeth, took out the family head order and stuffed it into Zhao's hand.
"Madam, please go back to the mansion and ask Chef Zheng to send some men over. I will leave marks along the way!"
After saying that, she quickly chased after Prince Anding.
Before Zhao could figure out what was happening, she saw Prince Anding and Wen Wan disappear into the crowd one after another.
She lowered her head, staring blankly at the Patriarch's Order in her hand, and murmured in confusion.
"Ask Chef Zheng to mobilize some people? A chef?"

Wen Wan followed King Anding from a distance and saw a bearded man walk up to King Anding and say something to him.
Afterwards, Prince Anding and his personal guards followed the bearded man.
The two of them moved through the crowd and soon turned into an alley.
At the end of the alley, it extends to the river bank, where a merchant ship is docked.
At the entrance of the merchant ship, two teams of strong men were guarding on both sides, and a middle-aged man who looked like a clerk was checking the identities of the visitors. Only those whose identities had been checked were allowed to pass and board the ship.
The bearded man led Prince Anding to the entrance, and Prince Anding handed the post to the man.
Wen Wan looked towards the merchant ship and saw shadows moving on the deck, it seemed that quite a few people had already arrived.
Suddenly, a familiar face flashed across the deck.
Wen Wan was shocked and couldn't help trembling all over. The murderous intent in her pupils grew wildly, as if it was about to break through her body and turn into a sharp blade to kill the man directly.
"Azhuoxin!"
He actually didn't die!
Wen Wan's pupils shrank for a moment, and when she raised her eyes again, she walked towards King Anding with a firm gaze.
"Master, let me go with you."
When Prince Anding saw her, he was stunned.
Wen Wan said calmly, "Master, I heard that the treasures this time are rare in the world, so let me open my eyes."
King Anding was still hesitating, but the person checking the post nearby began to urge him.
"Hurry up, the boat is about to sail. Are you going to get on board or not?"
Prince Anding didn't want to waste time arguing with her here, so he walked ahead with a wave of his sleeves and said something coldly.
"If you want to follow, just follow. The legs are on you!"
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth, said nothing, and just walked forward with her head held high.
After they passed, the clerk who verified the post looked at the time, counted the number of people registered in the booklet, waved his hand, and prepared to order the ship to set sail.
Suddenly, three or five people dressed as businessmen arrived late.
The hooded man in the lead grabbed the clerk's arm and stuffed a note into his hand.
"Sorry we're late, but luckily we made it."
