She felt guilty. Her initial purpose was to take advantage of him, and if he developed any negative feelings towards her because of this, it would be a huge misunderstanding.
Shen Tangning lowered her eyelashes, intending to find an opportunity to test the waters. If it was really as she guessed, she should make things clear with Liu Yifu as soon as possible, so as not to delay him for nothing.
Of course, given Chi Yan's extreme jealousy, it's best not to let him know about this.
Chi Yan glanced at her several times, keenly sensing that she was hiding something, but since she didn't want to talk about it, he didn't need to press her for an answer.
What are your thoughts on today's events?
She looked up, a thoughtful expression on her face: "It doesn't seem like an accident. Has the culprit been caught?"
Chi Yan gave a slight sneer: "We've caught them."
But I doubt I'll get any useful information out of them.
Since the other party came with premeditation, they probably won't leave any evidence. That thug is probably just a smokescreen.
"I'm a little worried." She frowned and slowly analyzed, "You think the other party went to all this trouble just to cause such a scene?"
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Now that you mention it, something does seem off." His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he turned to look directly at her. "So you think the other party is just taking advantage of the situation and actually has another purpose?"
Shen Tangning shook her head: "I can't say for sure, maybe I'm being a bit paranoid."
“No.” He took her hand, his expression thoughtful. “Being cautious is a good thing.”
...
The palace already knew about the accident that happened on Suzaku Avenue, so even though it caused a delay, they were not too harsh on them.
After the wedding ceremony was successfully completed, Shen Tangning and Chi Yan both breathed a sigh of relief.
The following banquet was held at the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince had long reached the age to establish his own residence, but he had been living in the Eastern Palace to recuperate from illness. Now that he was married, he naturally had to move out.
Yan Huai was in a good mood today. He was toasted by civil and military officials throughout the banquet, and they all kept him company with pleasant smiles.
"Congratulations, cousin." Shen Tangning raised her wine glass and stood up. She wasn't a big drinker and rarely drank alcohol, so she was unusually happy today.
Yan Huai looked at her gently, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "Ningning, I should thank you."
She blinked, feigning confusion, and asked, "What do you mean?"
He chuckled and sighed, "If it weren't for your secret matchmaking, your cousin-in-law and I would probably be..."
Although Yan Huai had been away from Yanjing for a long time, he still had his own sources of information and was aware of the efforts Shen Tangning had made.
Hearing this, she laughed and said sincerely, "This is a match made in heaven, and no one can take it away from us."
Thinking back to her past life, Gu Qingxu died in the Third Prince's residence, only a few years after her cousin's death...
She couldn't help but feel saddened, and raised her glass to drink it all in one gulp.
Yan Huai opened his mouth, but before he could even stop him, he said, "This wine..."
Shen Tangning's cheeks flushed, her eyes showing a hint of confusion: "What's wrong?"
He slowly swallowed back the phrase "very potent," and his eyes searched through the crowd.
Never mind, let's hurry up and have Chi Yan come and pick up his wife.
