When Mrs. Chen brought her daughter to apologize, Yan Bao was standing next to Mrs. Shen. Not only was he arrogant, but he also looked down on her and didn't even look at her and her daughter.
Although Mrs. Chen was angry, she had to bow her head, be humble, and apologize because of her family's reputation and her husband's career, just to get the forgiveness of Mrs. Shen and Yan Bao.
Especially Miss Chen, who was two years older than Yan Bao. Even though she was not convinced, she had to apologize aggrievedly, and slapped her face while apologizing: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, please forgive me this time."
"You are not dumb, I am. I will never gossip again. If I break my oath, let me become dumb too."
Yan Bao sneered: [This word is not used correctly.]
Madam Shen's face immediately turned black: "What? How can you talk like that? Our Yan Bao can't speak, so you bully him like this?"
Miss Chen was so shocked by the scolding that she didn't dare to shed a single tear.
Madam Chen could only continue to be humble and the gifts she brought were not shabby at all. She knew that today's matter would be over and her husband would have a hard time in the court.
If she was demoted, she would lose her title of a third-rank lady.
When I think about how hard it was to get the imperial edict, how could it be taken away like this?
Mrs. Chen could only flatter and apologize, almost to the point of licking his boots on her knees.
Yan Bao and Madam Shen looked at each other. In view of the generous gifts, their relatively sincere apologies, and their deep recognition of their mistakes, Madam Shen waved her hand mercifully.
Let's just leave it at that.
Mrs. Chen was as if pardoned. She hurriedly took her daughter away and didn't even dare to spit as she left, for fear that someone might hear her and her efforts would be wasted.
When he got home, he closed the door and started cursing to vent his anger.
Later, when Madam Chen met Madam Shen, she was polite on the surface. Everyone knew that after learning a lesson last time, the arrogant Madam Chen did not dare to provoke the Shen family.
The peach blossoms in Taohua Creek are in bloom. When Yan Bao found out, he wanted to go and see them.
When spring comes and flowers bloom, everyone likes to go out and enjoy the flowers.
Yan Bao also wants to go out and play.
Mrs. Shen finished her work and took Yan Bao out.
It happened to be a holiday, and a group of poetry friends that Brother Shen knew also invited him.
Taohua Creek is very large and has a lake where one can go boating. They admired the peach blossoms in the lake.
Yan Bao brought Zi Yun with him.
There were many horse-drawn carriages on the road, all heading to Taohua Creek.
When we arrived at the entrance, quite a few people were already there.
Every few steps she would meet ladies she knew, and Mrs. Shen would greet them with a smile, or they would come to greet her.
Brother Shen sent them to their destination and was about to leave.
Just then, she heard Yan Bao's inner voice: "What a coincidence! My sister-in-law is here with us this time. But there's a bit of trouble with her. The Third Prince is such a jerk. He wants to touch beautiful women whenever he sees them. Bah! My sister-in-law is mine!"
Madam Shen's expression changed. What's the matter with the Third Prince?
Brother Shen's eyes darkened slightly. How dare the Third Prince tease Miss Xu?
[Ahhh, what should I do? How should I let my elder brother know that my elder sister-in-law is in danger? This time, my mother will definitely not let me run around, and I can't go to save my elder sister-in-law.] Yan Bao was so anxious.
Brother Shen suddenly said, "Mom, take good care of Yanbao. It seems Miss Xu is here too. I saw her and will go say hello to her later."
Yan Bao was overjoyed: [That's great, I won't be worried anymore since my big brother is here.]
Brother Shen looked at Yan Bao, who breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little sorry for her.
She was very anxious because she had to worry about so many things at such a young age.
Brother Shen patted Yan Bao's head and said, "Don't run around. Follow your mother."
Yan Bao nodded obediently and watched Brother Shen leave. Seeing the person who took the wrong road, he hurriedly chased after him and pulled him onto another small road: "This is it. If you follow this road straight, you will see my sister-in-law. Brother, don't take the wrong road!"
Brother Shen: “…”
Mrs. Shen looked at Yan Bao, who was worried sick, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yan Bao was originally having a good time with Zi Yun when he saw a dignified man in brocade clothes walking towards them. If Yan Bao remembered correctly, this was the Third Prince who wanted to tease his sister-in-law.
The Third Prince noticed Yan Bao's gaze and paused. He held his fan to his chin and looked at the lovely Yan Bao. He asked the guard, "This child looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."
The guard reminded: "It seems to be the young lady of the Shen family, the fiancée of the Thirteenth Prince."
The Third Prince suddenly understood, narrowed his eyes, and walked towards Yan Bao with a smile: "Hey, little mute, call me brother, how about I buy you some delicious candied haws?"
Yan Bao: “…”
She hadn't even caused trouble for the Third Prince yet, but he had brought it to her and humiliated her.
Knowing that she can't speak, asking her to call him brother, isn't that forcing her?
Seeing the Third Prince's evil smile, Yan Bao opened his mouth and bit his leg without saying a word.
The third prince cried out in pain and was about to kick Yan Bao away.
Yan Bao dodged nimbly, and the Third Prince's kick missed. He was pushed by Yan Bao, and fell miserably. Yan Bao also poked the Third Prince in the eye.
The Third Prince: "Ah!"
The guards immediately protected the third prince, picked up Yan Bao, and were about to throw him to the ground to kill him.
Yan Bao covered his eyes in fear.
Seeing this, Madam Shen screamed in horror: “Yan Bao.”
Shen Shoufu’s heartbeat almost stopped: “Bao!”
The Thirteenth Prince, holding Xiao Anzi's hand, ran over anxiously and was about to catch Yan Bao.
Someone was faster than the skinny Thirteenth Prince. He did a somersault and caught Yan Bao who was about to fall to the ground.
Yan Bao's eyes widened in fear, and he blinked at the stranger in front of him.
