Without contrast, there is no relief.

Mo Yuxuan's maid thought that their princess's cooking skills were extremely poor, but she didn't expect that it wasn't the worst. After all, their princess only fried the pot and didn't set the kitchen on fire.

What's more important is that although their princess has poor cooking skills, the emperor gave her the royal chef. Others do not have such good luck.

With the help of those noble ladies, Shen Wan regained half of the face he had lost. However, the ministers' excuses for their goddaughter's incompetence flew like snowflakes to the emperor's dragon case and piled up into a hill.

In the next three days, Shen Wan did not leave Prince Ling's residence. Even Mo Yuxuan rarely left the house. He stayed in the house making a brocade robe for Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan decided to let Xie Jingyan wear the brocade robe she made to have a wedding banquet at Prince Jin's Mansion, so that everyone could see that although she, Princess Ling, was not good at cooking, she was good at embroidery and could do embroidery.

On this day, Shen Wan sat in front of the embroidery stand and embroidered the pattern on the brocade robe. After embroidering for a long time, her neck was sore and tight. Yin Shuang said, "Princess, please rest for a while and then embroider again. You have exhausted yourself. The prince should I feel bad.”

Shen Wan was indeed tired. She had been making brocade robes for Xie Jingyan for the past few days. She was so tired that she almost fell asleep in bed. She didn't even have a dream and slept until dawn.

Haitang brought the cakes over, and Shen Wan stood up and ate the cakes with clean hands.

After eating one piece, he was still not satisfied, so he took another piece. While he was eating, the little maid Dong'er came in through a bead curtain and said, "Princess, the maid of the Marquis Mansion just sent a message, saying that it was the maid Hong who was by the Second Young Master's side during his lifetime. Kui is pregnant, the second wife is happy, and her illness is mostly cured."

Although Shen Wan was married, her father and eldest brother still had four rooms in the Hou Mansion. Shen Wan was worried, so she bribed two well-informed maids and servants. If there was any trouble in Pingyang Hou Mansion, she would send someone to tell her immediately. she.

Hearing that Shen Li's maid was pregnant, Shen Wan's chewing of cakes slowed down.

This matter was not surprising to Shen Wan, because something like this had happened in her previous life. She still remembered that Shen Li was discussing marriage at that time. The second wife was afraid of affecting Shen Li's marriage proposal, so she wanted to give the maid abortion pills and make her pregnant. After selling, the maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Later, the second master went there. The maid rushed over and hugged the second master's feet and asked him to save her. The maid didn't know what she said, which angered the second master. The second master kicked her. Kicked over, the maid flew far away and died on the spot.

The second master kicked the maid to death, which made the entire Hou family feel that he was too cruel. This incident also alarmed Shen Jing. Shen Jing even scolded the second master, saying that a slap in the face could not make a sound. The maid was pregnant. What was wrong? Shen Li, the second wife wants to abort the child and selling the maid is cruel enough, but the second master actually doesn't even want to spare the life of the maid. There has never been such a cruel person in Pingyang Hou Mansion.

In the previous life, the maid kept it secret for three months and accidentally revealed that she was pregnant, and was kicked to death on the same day. In this life, she was also pregnant, but her treatment was completely different.

Shen Li died suddenly. The child in the maid's belly, whether male or female, was the only flesh and blood left by Shen Li in the world. The second wife was not allowed to treat the maid as an ancestor, lest anything happen to the child in her belly. .

However, in the previous life, after the second master kicked the maid to death, he punished Shen Li to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect. Shen Li said that the child the maid was carrying was not his. He had touched the maid four months ago. If it was really his, it could not be only She was three months pregnant, and the maids around him would take birth control pills whenever he touched her, so it was impossible for her to become pregnant. However, since there was no evidence of death, the matter was dropped.

Shen Wan was chewing the cake and thinking about this. If Shen Li hadn't lied, then the child the maid was carrying was really not his, so whose child could it be?

Thinking of the second master's abnormal behavior, Shen Wan's eyes suddenly widened.

Could it be that the maid is carrying the second master’s child?

The father had an affair with the maid next to his son. If word spread, both father and son would lose face. The second master was afraid that the maid would expose the matter, so he silenced her on the spot, so he kicked the maid to death.

But when I think about it carefully, I find it impossible. The second wife controls the second master very tightly. Besides the second wife, there are only two aunts around the second master. It was the second wife who took the initiative to serve the second master. How could he touch the maid next to his son?

Shen Wan shook his head to get these messy thoughts out of his mind.

Shen Wan continued to eat pastries, Dong'er stepped back and walked outside the bead curtain. The little maid Qiu'er ran into the room and happily reported, "Princess, Second Young Master Yun is here."

Second cousin?

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment.

After reacting, he quickly put down the half-eaten cake in his hand and stood up to greet him.

After leaving Mo Yuxuan, after walking a few steps, I saw Manager Zhou leading Second Young Master Yun Lang walking over from a distance.

The Yun family invited Doctor Tao for Xie Jingyan, and also helped find rare medicinal materials to detoxify Xie Jingyan. He was an honored guest of Prince Ling's Mansion, so he was let in directly without any communication, and was personally greeted by Manager Zhou.

Shen Wan walked over with a smile on her face, "Why did your second cousin suddenly return to Beijing?"

Although Shen Wan is only a cousin, the three cousins ​​of the Yun family treat her as their own sister. She has what Yunmo and Yunrui have, and she has what Yunmo and Yunrui don't have.

It's just that the Yun family's business is spread across all states and counties in Dachu. The eldest cousin is forced to be detained in Kyoto, so they don't see each other often. The second cousin and the third cousin travel everywhere, and it's rare to see them twice a year, so every time they meet, , Shen Wan cherishes it very much.

However, the second cousin did not return to Beijing at this time in the previous life. It was the eldest cousin who saved his cousin's sister-in-law at Huguo Temple, settled the marriage, and was busy preparing for the wedding banquet and had no time to take care of the business, so he called the second cousin back to help.

Why did you come back so early in this life?

Yun Lang said, "I don't know either. My eldest brother Feige sent me a letter half a month ago, asking me to return to the capital as soon as possible. I thought something big happened in the house, so I hurried back under the sun and the moon, but everything happened when I came back. Anhao, but it’s the eldest brother himself who ran away with his cousin.”

Shen Wan was stunned when he heard this, "My eldest brother is not in Kyoto anymore?"

Yun Lang nodded, "I heard from my grandfather that he left Beijing with his eldest brother."

The eldest cousin should have left Beijing to go to busy Meizhou, but why did the eldest brother leave Beijing with his eldest cousin?

And my grandfather doesn’t even know where his eldest cousin has gone, otherwise he wouldn’t have told his second cousin.

I don't know why Yun Qi kept it secret. Shen Wan was afraid of damaging her cousin, so she didn't say much.

Yun Lang looked at Shen Wan and said, "I thought it was too early for you to get married, so I prepared gifts for you everywhere. I didn't expect that when I returned to Beijing, you would already be married. As a cousin, I couldn't even drink from you and Prince Ling. Wedding wine.”

Yun Lang had a regretful expression on his face, and Shen Wan said, "Who told me that my cousin wouldn't come back? You can't make up for the loss."

Yun Lang smiled and said, "I missed the wedding wine. I will definitely be there for my nephew's full moon wine in the future."
