Shen Wan poured a cup of tea for Qinghe County Lord. Qinghe County Lord was having a hard time leaving. When he talked about the interesting things that happened in Kyoto, Shen Wan responded, and the atmosphere was harmonious and weird.

While they were joking, a palace maid came over, waved to Yinshuang, asked a few words and then left.

When Yinshuang went back, Shen Wan asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Shuang replied, "The eldest daughter of Duke Mao lost a jade pendant, and the palace maid helped to find it. She had entered the pavilion before, and the palace maid came to ask."

Neither Shen Wan nor Qinghe County Chief paid much attention to such a trivial matter.

The two of them sat together for less than a quarter of an hour. Ruixin, the maid of Qinghe County Master, left for a while and came back and said, "I came here just now and heard the lady over there saying that the queen praised the newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, for her wealth. , so I inquired about it, and found out that she picked up the jade pendant that the eldest daughter of Duke Mao had lost and gave it to the queen."

Shen Wan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

At this birthday banquet held for her in her previous life, Young Master Xu shone brightly and attracted constant praise from the emperor. Has Young Master Xu become more famous in this life?

It's just that Duke Mao is the uncle of the eldest prince, so the eldest daughter of Duke Mao's house should not cooperate with the eldest daughter Xu.

But Shen Wan didn't believe that the Xu family, who worked so hard with Yun Rui in the previous life, could raise a daughter who was rich in money. However, after picking up a jade pendant in the palace, no matter how greedy for petty gains, people would not dare to keep it. That's it.

Shen Wan took a sip of tea and heard footsteps. Shen Wan glanced over and saw Shen Ying walking in.

Shen Ying stepped into the pavilion and said with a smile, "County Lord Qinghe is here too."

County Lord Qinghe stood up and bowed to Shen Ying. He guessed that Shen Ying came to see Shen Wan for something, so he took the maid out of the pavilion without interrupting their conversation.

Shen Wan also guessed that Shen Ying didn't come to her casually, and must have something to do. She put down the tea cup, Shen Ying sat down and said, "Have you heard about the Queen's praise of the eldest lady?"

Shen Wan said indifferently, "I heard about it."

Shen Ying said, "I just talked with Miss Xu for a while, and then I found out that the Xu family intends to marry the Yun family, but the Yun family has never allowed the marriage."

The Yun family had not agreed to the marriage for a long time, so these people were anxious, and they even came to her as lobbyists for Young Master Xu.

Shen Wan was unhappy and said calmly, "I know that Mrs. Xu came to ask for marriage."

Shen Ying frowned and said, "Then why doesn't the Yun family allow marriage?"

Shen Wan looked at Shen Ying, "Is the second sister too strict?"

As the granddaughter of the Yun family, she shouldn't have too much involvement in the marriage affairs of her cousins, let alone Shen Ying.

Shen Ying's face stiffened and she said, "The Yun family treats eldest sister very well, and I also get a lot of credit from the Yun family, otherwise I would be too lazy to meddle in other people's business. Young Master Xu has a good appearance, a better talent, and a better family background." Needless to say, Miss Yun has already fallen into trouble once. Now a young talent like Mr. Xu wants to marry her, but the Yun family refuses to agree. This is not arrogance, it is simply an insult. The Xu family."

Shen Wan didn't want to fall out, but Shen Ying's words were too harsh. She couldn't bear it and sneered, "Even if Young Master Xu is good everywhere and the Xu family comes to ask for a hand in marriage, does the Yun family have to agree to the marriage? Whoever the Yun family's daughter wants to marry? It’s not your turn to comment yet.”

Shen Ying didn't expect Shen Wan to react so fiercely. She said, "I'm doing this for Miss Yun's good, and I'm afraid she'll miss a good marriage. It's okay if I don't appreciate it, why bother slandering me with words."

For the good of the Yun family?

She couldn't deceive herself with this, and she was still trying to deceive her again.

It would ruin her plan. Shen Wan suppressed all the anger that came to her head and said, "My cousin's marriage has already suffered a setback and attracted a lot of criticism. The Yun family will be careful and prudent about her marriage, and many talents will be promoted." When I came to Beijing, the limelight was at its peak, and the Yun family felt that they could not reach the top. The Yun family would never give in until they were sure that the Xu family was sincere."

Shen Ying did not doubt this at all. The Yun family has always been self-aware, and it is normal for them to gain wisdom after learning. Shen Ying said, "It is right to be cautious, but it is not good to be too cautious. Young Master Xu is very talented, and there are many noble ladies." They all praise him very much.”

Whoever is optimistic about Young Master Xu and marries his daughter to him will do so. The Yun family will never let their daughter fall into the Xu family's fire pit again.

Thinking of something, Shen Wan raised her lips slightly, picked up the tea cup and said, "My grandfather really wants a talented grandson-in-law, and I also hope that he can get what he wants. Since the Xu family is so sincere in asking to marry my cousin, let's get married tomorrow." I will ask Mr. Xian to give him a test. If he is really good, I will persuade the Yun family to agree to the marriage."

Shen Ying probably didn't know that Young Master Xu didn't have a few taels of ink in his stomach, so there was no worry on her face that Young Master Xu wouldn't be able to pass the test. She was only dissatisfied with the Yun family. She felt that the Yun family had so much money that they didn't take advantage of it. The young master who went up took it seriously, it was so shameless.

After sitting for a while, a palace maid came over and said, "Princess Jin, Princess Ling, the banquet is about to begin."

Today's palace banquet was specially prepared for them. Shen Wan was cautious, and Shen Ying took it even more seriously. She stood up immediately and took the lead to leave the pavilion, with Shen Wan a few steps behind.

The banquet was held at Cheng'an Hall. Shen Wan walked to the entrance of the hall and happened to see Xie Jingyan approaching. However, it was not Shen Du who pushed him, but the eighth prince Xie Jingxuan.

Seeing Shen Wan, Xie Jingxuan said, "Sister-in-law, I will leave Brother Six to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Wan to agree, the eighth prince hurriedly ran away.

Running in such a hurry, Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, "What did you do to the Eighth Prince?"

"Nothing, I just threatened him," Xie Jingyan said nonchalantly.

"..."

He was sitting in a wheelchair, and he had to be pushed by the eighth prince. He also threatened others, which was too much. The eighth prince helped him welcome the bride and sent condolences to him.

Xie Jingyan could tell what Shen Wan was thinking at a glance. He glanced over and said, "He said my husband is weak."

Although this was a myth, Shen Wan still blushed, "It's useless to threaten him, you should beat him."

There was a smile in Xie Jingyan's eyes, which was a bit prettier than the stars in the sky. He said happily, "Okay, I'll do this next time."

As for the Eighth Prince, as soon as he sat down, a chill ran down his back, making him shiver from the cold.

Although Shen Wan was curious about why the eighth prince said that Xie Jingyan's husband was weak, she did not dare to ask. When they entered the main hall, she pushed Xie Jingyan to sit in their seat, just opposite Shen Ying and Xie Jingyin.

Seeing Shen Ying and Xie Jingyin treating each other with respect, Shen Wan felt that she and Xie Jingyan were pretending too much, and felt that Shen Ying and Xie Jingyin were more like a fake couple, they seemed real.

The palace probably deliberately made Xie Jingyan look bad. The table was prepared just like everyone else's. They didn't consider that Xie Jingyan was in a wheelchair and it would be inappropriate to sit on such a table. However, Xie Jingyan didn't care. He could now walk half a cup of tea. He raised his hand. , Shen Wan helped him up, and Chen Feng pushed the wheelchair away.

After sitting down, Shen Wan saw that no one noticed them and quietly stuffed a piece of paper into Xie Jingyan's hand.

Xie Jingyan, "...???"
