Shen Wan shook her head to get these bad things out of her mind and continued reading. Haitang stood aside and said, "The second master has been promoted. Is the princess going back to the house to congratulate him?"

It's not like I want to go back to say congratulations.

Shen Wan was closer to the fourth uncle in her heart, but at least on the surface, she still had to treat everyone equally. She could not go back just as the fourth uncle was promoted, and the second uncle just pretended that he didn't know, which would be too shameful.

But she just found out last night that someone was going to take her life, and Shen Wan was a little reluctant to leave the house at the moment.

Closing the book in her hand, Shen Wan went to the study to find Xie Jingyan.

When Shen Wan entered the study, Xie Jingyan was instructing Chen Feng to do something and said, "Go and do it."

Chen Feng took the order and retreated.

Shen Wan walked over and said, "The second master has been promoted to a higher rank. I have to go back to the Marquis Mansion to congratulate me. Can you go back with me?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I was frightened twice yesterday. Today you stay at home and have a good rest. Tomorrow the court will have a rest. I will accompany you back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to give your second uncle a congratulatory gift. I have asked Chen Feng to prepare it. You don't need to worry."

Shen Wan didn't expect that Xie Jingyan would prepare a congratulatory gift for the second master. How could the second master be so virtuous? She didn't even plan to prepare it herself, so she just let Zhou's mother watch and prepare a copy.

Now that she is ready, Shen Wan will have more peace of mind.

Without disturbing Xie Jingyan's reading, Shen Wan went back to the room and continued to sit on the small couch, gnawing on fruit and flipping through the book.

The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan returned to Pingyang Marquis Mansion accompanied by Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan thought she had gone back early enough, but when the carriage stopped, she saw that the carriage that Shen Ying used to ride in Prince Jin's Palace was taken away. Shen Ying came back before her, and Xie Jingyin came back with her.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan went to the old lady's Qinghui Courtyard. As soon as they walked to the screen, they heard Shen Ying talking, "Last time, my father failed to take the post of weapons supervisor, and my daughter took over the post. Daddy has been feeling sorry for it for a long time, but it turns out that there is something better waiting for Daddy later, so I have to thank Prince Ling properly."

The second wife asked, "King Xie Ling?"

Shen Ying said, "Last time, Dad was promoted to Arms Supervisor. The Emperor will definitely not promote Dad this time."

Shen Wan stood at the screen and rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart.

Doesn't she know that Shen Ying said this to her and Xie Jingyan on purpose, to make them angry? They blocked the second master and helped the fourth master. As a result, the second master was promoted higher. They are separated by one level, but many ministers will never be able to cross this level in their lifetime. No wonder they are happy.

Shen Wan didn't hear Shen Ying's sarcastic words, she walked in calmly, and when she saw her, Shen Ying smiled like a flower, "I was thinking about going to Prince Ling's Mansion to visit eldest sister later, but I didn't expect eldest sister to come back. Look The big sister looks like she wouldn’t be shocked if she fell into the water or was assassinated.”

Shen Wan said, "Second uncle is promoted, I will come back to congratulate him."

After saying that, he looked at the second master and said, "Congratulations to the second uncle."

The second wife wanted to say something about Yin and Yang, but before she could speak, Shen Jing walked in. The second wife's words came to her lips and she could only swallow them back.

Shen Jing walked in and Shen Wan called, "Father."

Xie Jingyan bowed and said, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."

The servants of Pingyang Hou Mansion were already used to this shouting.

Shen Jing nodded, then saluted Xie Jingyin, "I have met Prince Jin."

These four short words made Xie Jingyin's eyes turn cold.

He and Xie Jingyan were both princes, and Shen Jing only saluted him, which showed their closeness.

Xie Jingyin stood up and helped Shen Jing, and said, "Pingyang Marquis and Sixth Brother don't see anyone outside, but they see outside like me?"

Shen Jing frowned almost imperceptibly and said nothing.

Shen Wan felt slightly annoyed. Xie Jingyin's words sounded like he wanted his father to treat everyone equally, but in fact he wanted his father to also salute Xie Jingyan, because it was impossible for his father not to salute him as the King of Jin.

And it's not that her father didn't understand this etiquette. In her previous life, she was married to Xie Jingyin, and her father had always been very considerate to the King of Jin.

My father did treat Xie Jingyan very differently.

Shen Wan liked this difference very much.

She directly changed the topic and said, "It's rare to see my father in the house when I come back."

Looking at Shen Wan, Shen Jing smiled and said, "The Eighth Prince said that you and King Ling were assassinated and were not shocked. Dad still doesn't believe it. It seems that after marrying Queen Ling, you have gained a lot of courage."

Shen Wan said, "No matter what danger I encounter, Your Majesty will protect me."

Shen Jing believes this.

Xie Jingyan was ordered to guard the imperial mausoleum, but he came to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to save his daughter's life. What else could there be to doubt?

Seeing Shen Jing, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan talking and laughing, Xie Jingyin's eyes were a little gloomy.

Fortunately, a young man came in at this time and said, "Second Master, the Minister of Household Affairs and Uncle Anding are here to congratulate you..."

The second master was promoted yesterday, and today he will have a rest. Many ministers will definitely come to send congratulatory gifts in person. The second master got up to greet him. Although he was congratulating the second master, Shen Jing must show his face in the mansion. Shen Jing Calling Xie Jingyan up, Xie Jingyin also stood up.

There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate them, and many of them came with their wives. The second wife went to greet them, and the fourth wife helped greet them.

After a while, he led several ladies in. Seeing that Shen Wan and Shen Ying were there, he quickly saluted them.

From a family with four daughters, there were two princesses and a wife who would be the heir apparent. Everyone in the capital would not envy her.

However, the good things about Pingyang Hou Mansion are as good as heaven, but the bad things are extremely bad.

The girl from the third bedroom unexpectedly married her cousin, Mr. Wu, who lived with Liu Mianhua. The third bedroom was sent away to leave the capital. The second bedroom gave birth to a princess of Jin. However, the legitimate son of the second bedroom died unexpectedly under the horse's hooves. There were ups and downs, and she was barely able to bear it. , I really can’t bear such great joy and sorrow.

Of course, these ladies are not mean-spirited. They only say nice things about the unpleasant things in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and flatter the old lady in every way. The old lady is very useful.

Shen Wan didn't like listening to these flatteries, but after sitting for most of an hour, Xie Jingyan sent someone to come back to her house with her, so Shen Wan could only continue to sit.

Her hip bones ached from sitting, and she couldn't stay any longer. Shen Wan quietly winked at Yin Shuang and asked her to find Xie Jingyan.

These ladies are here for the second room and Shen Ying, so they are destined not to chat with her. She helps the second room maintain face and greet the guests, so she might as well go back to Prince Ling's Mansion to sleep.

It's just that she is the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, so it's not easy to just leave. As long as Xie Jingyan coughs twice and says to go back to the mansion to take medicine, she can leave with him.

Shen Wan waited patiently, but Yin Shuang came back and whispered in her ear, "The prince said he would leave after watching the fun..."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Watching the fun?

Where does the fun come from?

She wanted to tell the second wife that the second master had an extramarital affair, but she hadn't found the chance yet.

Shen Wan was curious about what Xie Jingyan was talking about. At this moment, a maid ran in from outside and said anxiously, "Second madam, it's not good! The second master's outhouse has come to the door!"
