"Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Liu... Please listen to ..."
Madam Wu hurried forward, wishing to explain to him, but Liu Xi gave her no chance, flinging his sleeve and coldly said: "If you want to explain, go to the palace and explain to the Empress Dowager yourself!" After saying that, he left with a snort. Madam Wu saw that he was annoyed and was so frightened that her soul almost left her body; she hurriedly chased after him, not even caring that her daughter was still in the room with two n!
Seeing Liu Xi turn his back, Xiang Yun also started to worry. She sat up, bit her lip, and cautiously said to Wanyan Jingchen, "Master Situ, Cai Wei, oh no, would the Empress really bla us?"
She was still in the deep chamber, unaware of Situ Changge’s current identity, thinking he was still just a shopkeeper under Cai Wei!
Wanyan Jingchen didn’t speak, just glanced at Court Judge Yao. Understanding the hint, Court Judge Yao quickly left, calling on Cui Wen and Cui Lu before going out, claiming he needed to prescribe a concoction for Miss and asking them to co help grind the ingredients.
Cui Wen and Cui Lu were just little maids, already terrified by the words "The cri of deceiving the emperor" Liu Xi ranted about earlier; now being called to grind ingredients, they dared not disobey and ekly followed him out, not even considering why Miss would need any dicine when she wasn’t ill!
After everyone had left, Wanyan Jingchen leisurely said: "The heart of a monarch is inscrutable, the Empress Dowager is kind, but being in high position, she dislikes being deceived!"
After he finished speaking, Xiang Yun visibly tensed up, furrowing her brows and anxiously said: "What should I do then? If she becos angry, could she bla my parents? Oh, I really should have just gone to the feast, it would have been better to be humiliated there rather than committing the cri of deceiving the emperor..."
"Why do you say you would be humiliated? Who would humiliate you?" asked Wanyan Jingchen, his faint smile gradually fading.
Xiang Yun, frustratedly said: "I am a divorcee, the other ladies would definitely look down upon . At the feast, I would just end up being bullied. My parents, fearing I’d be embarrassed and upset, kindly stopped from going to spare from their taunts and mockery, but I never expected this to backfire so badly. Ah, Situ Changge, what should I do now?"
Saying this, she clenched her little fists, anxiously hitting her own head.
Seeing her charming deanor, Wanyan Jingchen gently curved his lips upward, succinctly saying: "It’s quite simple, get dressed and make up, let’s go to the palace and personally ask the Empress Dowager for forgiveness. Explain your difficulties to the Empress, I’m sure she will forgive you!"
"Good."
Xiang Yun trusted him completely. Hearing what he said, she imdiately got up without hesitation and obediently went to freshen up.
Her compliance and cleverness made him feel slightly heartbroken!
Fortunately, she was already divorced, and he had not missed out on her, otherwise, he would have spent his whole life worrying...
After getting ready, she took Cui Wen and Cui Lu with her, rushing after Wanyan Jingchen. Madam Wu was already frightened by Liu Xi, reminding her daughter as she boarded the carriage to speak well to the Empress Dowager in the palace and not to offend her.
After boarding the carriage, Wanyan Jingchen and Liu Xi sat together. Liu Xi chuckled, "See, I told you she’s fine, but you were worried and had to co disguised as a bailiff. Now that you’ve shown your face at the Marquis of Jian’an’s mansion, what will you say when you et your mother-in-law later?"
Wanyan Jingchen rely smiled lightly, his face displaying a calm deanor unaffected by the situation, yet he felt sowhat annoyed within.
He had often heard the saying "concern leads to chaos" but never took it seriously. Now, having experienced it firsthand, he realized just how profound the wisdom of ancient people was. Today, although he indeed t her promptly as he wished and successfully brought her to the Plum Banquet, how would he face his mother-in-law in the future when visiting his parents-in-law’s ho?
