There seems to be nothing to do in the summer, so I don’t want to continue playing.
"Since the thing has been found, I'll go back first." After saying that, he took Ningxue out.
Passing by the tray where the prizes were placed, he took out the two taels of silver she had thrown in and said, "Since there's no winner in the game of pot tossing, I'll take the silver back."
She picked up the silver and placed it in her palm, holding it up and showing it to the people in the room. "Look carefully, I only took back my own silver. I didn't touch anything else. Don't let anyone accuse me of stealing from anyone after I leave."
After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion with an expressionless face.
Leaving behind a group of embarrassed people in the pavilion, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Mu Chen, who was hiding in the dark, watched the prince's wife walk out of the water pavilion safely and walk towards Jinglan Garden. He also quietly retreated and returned to Lingyun Pavilion.
Ningxue followed behind Xia Tian, seeing her cold face, and knew that she was in a bad mood. She was afraid that someone would hear their conversation on the way, so she didn't say anything. The two of them walked back to Jinglan Garden in silence.
In Lingyun Pavilion, Mu Chen told Shen Nian in detail about the situation in the waterside pavilion.
Finally, he specifically emphasized the Crown Prince's wife's behavior at the time, "Master, you didn't see how calm and composed the lady was at the time.
When I heard the Third Miss say she wanted to search you, I was worried and was wondering whether I should come and tell you.
Unexpectedly, the lady took control of the situation with just a few words and blocked all their possibilities.
"One thing leads to another, the Third Miss and the others are completely led by the Madam. It's so satisfying! Hahaha!"
Mu Feng interrupted curiously, "Madam, are you really that amazing? You resolved the crisis in just a few moves?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Madam saw through all their little tricks in no time." Mu Chen said with a hint of lingering regret.
"Last time, Ningyue said that Madam had confronted the Third Madam in front of all the masters, but I didn't quite believe it. With the Third Madam's stubbornness, who could say anything to her?
As a result, I saw with my own eyes this time that the lady is really strong.
She spoke softly and gently throughout the whole process, and solved the problem with such ease. It's impossible not to admire her. "Mu Chen is a lively person to begin with, and now he talks a little bit non-stop.
Shen Nian was listening next to him and did not stop him. When he heard Muchen praising Xia Tian, he tapped the table with his fingers unconsciously, his whole body relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Mu Feng quietly nudged the excited Mu Chen and gave him a look. The two turned around and saw that their master had a smile in his eyes and looked very excited.
The two looked at each other and felt happy. The master had been smiling more and more recently because of his wife.
It has been almost three or four years since they saw their master so relaxed.
This is also the reason why Muchen was so happy when he saw that Chen Lan's conspiracy was ruined by Xia Tian. Ever since he knew that the master was poisoned by the Liu family, he no longer had any good feelings towards that family.
Although Muchen was speaking happily here, Xia Tian in Jinglan Garden was not in a good mood.
After listening to Ningxue's words, Ningxiang was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a long time.
Although they know a lot of secret tricks, there are not many who treat others as fools so blatantly.
At that time, the waterside pavilion was filled with the young masters and young ladies of the Marquis's mansion, or their personal maids.
Moreover, for the sake of her good reputation, Liu, the head of the family, never openly withheld the share of any young master.
It's just a hairpin, no one would be so foolish as to steal it in such an occasion. If it were discovered, it would not be worth it to lose such a big person just for a hairpin.
So he is targeting her so obviously, are he treating her like a fool?
What made Xia Tian unhappy was that there were really no innocent people in this deep mansion. She had thought that Chen Lan was just an impulsive, brainless, and arrogant young lady.
I didn't expect that a wolf cub growing up in a wolf pack is still a wolf even if it doesn't look threatening.
Today, she heard their conspiracy and became more vigilant. Otherwise, she would have been caught off guard.
Although their tricks are not very powerful, it works.
If I get searched today, no matter what the final result is, as long as it gets out, I will be in trouble.
It seems that I must act with caution in the future and not underestimate anyone, even if she is still a child in my eyes.
Xia Tian was reflecting on himself when he felt a shadow falling over his head.
He looked up and said, "Brother Shen, why are you here? Have you finished your business?"
"Well, let me see you." Shen Nian said, raised his hand to cover Xia Tian's head, and sat on the other side of the kang table.
Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are here to comfort me, right? Did you hear what Muchen said?"
"I'm here to reward you." Chen Nian stretched out his other hand from behind his back and placed an exquisite sandalwood box in front of Xia Tian.
She opened it curiously, and inside was a pair of emerald bracelets, gleaming with a faint light. She was delighted, "For me?"
"Yeah." Chen Nian took out the jade bracelets, took Xia Tian's hand, and put them on one by one personally.
Xia Tian looked at Shen Nian’s actions and did not refuse, but his heart calmed down at this moment.
When there is someone by my side, everything else seems to be nothing.
Xia Tian turned her arm and admired the bracelet on her wrist for a while, then looked up and saw Shen Nian staring at her and smiling, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips.
Everything is self-explanatory!
Ningxiang and Ningxue felt relieved when they saw that the lady was coaxed by the prince.
They were afraid that the lady had not experienced these conspiracies and tricks, and that it would leave a shadow in her heart.
