Chapter 59: Dinner with Toes on the Ground
Yan Qingchen watched Yan Qingwan's little action calmly, secretly laughing in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, maintaining his usual dignity.
When he felt that he had already made Yan Qingwan anxious enough, he slowly said, "I have heard about what happened at the banquet the day before yesterday."
After hearing this, Yan Qingwan subconsciously lowered his head, and his voice became as small as a mosquito, and he explained softly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has helped me deal with Zeng Yulan and Mu Fangwan."
Yan Qingchen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then continued: "Now that you are his future Crown Princess, it is understandable that he helps you deal with these things."
"That happened yesterday, not the day before yesterday." Yan Qingwan's face turned slightly red as she muttered softly, and there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
Yan Qingchen's face darkened, and his voice was slightly cold: "Do you think I don't know that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had contact before the marriage was granted?"
Yan Qingwan felt a little guilty when he heard this, but he still said with his neck stiff: "Then, then you can't restrict my freedom of life, right?"
Yan Qingchen was stunned when he heard this, and then retorted: "When did I restrict your personal freedom?"
"Isn't that what you just said?" Yan Qingwan pouted and muttered in a low voice with a look of grievance on her face.
Yan Qingchen held his forehead helplessly and said slowly: "I didn't mean what you thought. Ah Wan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a good person, but are you mentally prepared to become the Crown Princess or even the future mother of a country?"
Yan Qingwan was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head with a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes.
She looked at Yan Qingchen and asked softly, "Of course I am prepared. What's wrong?"
Yan Qingchen looked at her deeply, and then continued: "As a prince, you will become the emperor of this country in the future. Do you know how many concubines he will have in his harem? Have you really thought about facing such a situation?"
Yan Qingwan suddenly realized that her elder brother was worried about her future relationship with her husband.
She looked at Yan Qingchen quietly, with a determined light in her eyes, and said softly: "Third brother, are you worried about me?"
Yan Qingchen nodded slightly.
Yan Qingwan: "Third brother, I understand your worries and concerns now. But don't worry, as your sister, I am definitely not stupid. Although His Highness has not promised me anything about the future so far, I just believe that he is a different person from the previous Song Fangxun."
When the name of the hero of the original book was mentioned, Yan Qingwan's face paused slightly. Ever since the Qiqiao Festival, he seemed to have completely disappeared from his life.
I don’t know how I’m doing now.
But no matter whether she lives a rich life or not, it has nothing to do with her anymore.
When Yan Qingchen heard the name again from his sister's mouth, the expression on his face paused.
After carefully observing the expression on Ah Wan's face and seeing that there was nothing strange on his face, he calmly changed the subject and said, "I haven't said anything yet, and you're protecting me already?"
Yan Qingwan blushed slightly when he heard this, coughed, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Third Brother, I'm a little hungry, let's eat first."
Yan Qingchen snorted and said nothing more.
Fortunately, the servant Nanfeng came back with a lunch box and quickly put the food on the table. The two of them looked at each other in silence and finished this dinner that made Yan Qingwan feel a little uneasy.
After seeing Yan Qingchen off, Yan Qingwan leaned on the beauty couch and didn't want to move at all.
My heart is so tired, I feel like I will never love again.
······
Two more days passed in peace.
On this day, many people gathered at the gate of Changxing Marquis Mansion early in the morning.
A man in his fifties standing at the front bowed to the guard at the door and said, "I am the steward of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have come here specially to ask my young lady to apologize to Miss Yan Wu. These are all gifts sent by my wife."
Upon seeing this, the guard immediately bowed in return and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will report to you right away."
After the guard finished speaking, he turned around, walked through the door, and trotted all the way to the outer courtyard.
Soon, he arrived at the gate of Madam Yan's courtyard and said to the servant standing at the gate, "Go and tell Madam, there is a man outside who claims to be the housekeeper of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and wants to see you with many gifts. He said that his daughter wants to apologize to you."
Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly turned around and ran into the yard, standing at the door and reporting the situation to Madam Yan II in the house.
Soon, Madam Yan walked out of the room slowly, came to the gate of the courtyard, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it only the steward of the Mu Mansion who came?"
The guard nodded: "Yes, Second Madam, the housekeeper said that these gifts were sent by his wife."
Madam Yan Er thought of the wound on Mu Fangwan's head, a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes, and she said, "You came quite quickly. Since the Mu family is so sincere, then you can have someone take all the things."
The guard responded and turned and ran towards the gate.
Madam Yan looked at the guard walking away, thought of something, and turned to go to Haitang Courtyard.
I've been back for two days and have been so busy that I haven't taken care of Ah Wan. Now I'm going to see what she is doing.
At this moment, the butler outside the door heard what the guard conveyed, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
He waved his hand, signaling the servants behind him to act quickly.
A group of people quickly carried the prepared gifts and items into the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
After all the things were sent in, the butler happily led the servants out of the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
They walked briskly, as if they had completed an important mission.
At the same time, the news that the apology gift sent by the Mu Mansion to the Changxing Marquis Mansion was accepted spread like wildfire.
Soon, the news reached the Zeng Mansion.
When Mrs. Zeng heard the news from her maid, her face instantly turned gloomy.
Her face turned red with anger and her eyes flashed with anger.
"The Mu family! Great job!" Mrs. Zeng roared, her voice full of anger and resentment.
She swung the vase in her hand with force, and it smashed to the ground, with pieces flying everywhere.
Then, Madam Zeng gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Changxing Marquis Mansion...Yan Qingwan...The Crown Princess, huh, isn't she just a vixen? She really thinks she is second to none and doesn't even consider whether she can marry the Crown Prince safely." There was a ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.
Upon hearing this, the other maids in the room lowered their heads without daring to breathe, trying to reduce their presence.
Soon, Madam Zeng came to her senses, called her trusted maid, and whispered a few words in her ear in a low voice.
After hearing this, the head maid nodded to Madam Zeng and then left the room.
Mrs. Zeng then squinted her eyes and said in an unhappy tone: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you clean up the porcelain pieces on the ground quickly? Do you want to scratch my feet?"
Upon hearing this, the maids lowered their heads and moved cautiously.
Seeing that the ground had returned to normal, Mrs. Zeng snorted and closed her mouth.
