Chapter 125: Secret Talk on the Painting Boat
Wen Xingchen was so sleepy today that she didn't even want to flirt with anyone.
Chen Jingting sent the person back to Ningyuan Hou Mansion and went back himself.
The next morning, after Wen Xingchen woke up, he asked about the post station.
Yingying had already found out about it.
"Princess, there was a flood at the post station. I heard someone died."
died?
"Have you confirmed who died?"
"The envoy has confirmed that the person burned to death was one of their own. However, we wanted to perform an autopsy, but the envoy refused."
"You must feel guilty."
If Wen Xingchen guessed correctly, that person was Lu Shida's son, Lu Shuxing.
Lu Shuxing was fed drugs multiple times, and it would definitely be discovered during an autopsy.
So if they don't perform an autopsy, does that mean they believe the deceased is Lu Shuxing?
But is he really dead?
When Chen Jingting sent her back yesterday, Wen Xingchen asked, "Is the matter done?"
The answer was affirmative.
That means the person who died yesterday was not Lu Shuxing.
Yingying didn't understand and asked curiously, "Princess, why are they so guilty? Could it be that they deliberately killed the person who died?"
"It's very likely. Otherwise, why didn't they send someone for an autopsy?"
"But why? Didn't they bring the man here themselves?"
"Who knows."
Wen Xingchen didn't want to pay attention to this matter.
"Yesterday, Chen Silang said he would come to see me and help me dress up and look pretty."
Yingying said, "The princess is already beautiful. If she dresses up, she will surely charm Chen Silang to death."
Wen Xingchen: "He won't."
He, he regarded beauty as dirt, or in his previous life? No, it should be that he was very restrained.
Wen Xingchen finished dressing up, and since Chen Jingting hadn't arrived yet, Wen Xingchen went for a walk in the yard.
But as soon as she arrived in the garden, Xu came to show her courtesy.
"Princess, you're up."
Wen Xingchen hummed lightly.
"Princess, where are you going today? I heard that Chen Jia Silang sent you back yesterday. Princess, although I am not your biological mother, I am your stepmother. I have something to tell you. Before you get married, it's best for you to keep some distance from him."
"..."
"Princess, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of breaking you up. I'm just worried that you two are so hot-blooded and that being together all day could easily lead to something bad happening."
Wen Xingchen glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
Xu was so frightened by this look that she dared not speak.
Wen Xingchen didn't feel like strolling around anymore, so he turned around and went back.
As soon as she returned to her own courtyard, Yingying said, "Princess, Aunt Zhao is here."
"Ah."
Nanny Zhao was her wet nurse and had served her the longest. Because she always lectured Wen Xingchen, she disliked her and did not let her serve in the yard.
Instead, she was asked to manage her jewelry. She sold her jewelry some time ago, and she became idle.
Yingying brought Aunt Zhao over.
"This servant pays respects to the princess."
Wen Xingchen looked at Madam Zhao, her wet nurse. This was the second time she had seen Madam Zhao since she was reborn.
"Madam Zhao, please get up."
In her previous life, Nanny Zhao followed her into Prince Jin's Mansion and then into the palace, but she eventually rebelled.
She finally chose Wen Ruyue.
So after she was reborn, she didn't like her a little.
"Madam Zhao, what's the matter with you today?"
"Princess, recently, Xu has approached me several times to discuss your marriage. Your dowry and wedding dress are also being prepared. So, I wanted to ask you if you have anything to add?"
"Xu asked you to come?"
"Yes, the stepmother is very concerned about the princess's marriage. After all, you are now Her Royal Highness the Princess, and everything must be the best."
Wen Xingchen shook his head.
What did Xu want to do by showing kindness to him once or twice? To see Wen Rubao?
"Madam Zhao, go back and tell Madam Xu that she'll be in charge of preparing this princess's dowry. As for the wedding dress, have her send a letter to the palace and ask the Empress."
Wen Xingchen felt that the palace would prepare her wedding dress.
"Princess, logically, you should sew the wedding dress yourself. That way it will show your love for your husband."
Wen Xingchen doesn't believe in these things and doesn't know how to embroider.
Last time, that purse tormented her for several days.
Wen Xingchen said, "I'm going to see Chen Silang in a while. What do you think of my outfit, Madam Zhao?"
"The princess is a beauty, so any attire is fine. However, the princess and Chen Jia Silang haven't married yet. If he can't control himself, it will be bad."
"Princess, we are women, so we should be more reserved. If we let men get us so easily, we will not know how to cherish it."
If it were in the past, she would definitely feel annoyed, but now she is as strong as a rock and naturally would not be annoyed by these harmless words.
"Madam Zhao, please go and report this to Madam Xu."
Nanny Zhao wanted to give a lecture, but seeing that the master seemed a little impatient, she left.
Yingying waited until Madam Zhao left and said, "Princess, don't worry about what Madam Zhao said. As long as you're happy with Chen Silang, that's all."
Yingying could feel that the princess was very happy with Chen Jingting recently.
Moreover, Chen Jingting is not Xiao Sheng, he treats the princess very well.
"Yingying, this princess doesn't care."
After living a new life, she knew what she wanted.
Not long after, Chen Silang arrived.
He came to pick up Wen Xingchen to go to the pleasure boat to listen to music, and told the princess about the battle yesterday.
The person playing the music was in the pleasure boat, and Wen Xingchen and Chen Silang stood on the side of the boat and talked for a while.
"Lu Shuxing has been rescued."
"Will Tuoba Muyuan be suspicious?"
"No, they were so guilty that they refused to allow us to perform an autopsy on the body and buried it directly."
Wen Xingchen frowned.
"What do you mean by not doing an autopsy?"
"Lu Shuxing was poisoned."
Wen Xingchen asked, "How are the people?"
"very bad."
That's not good, I guess he won't live long.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Poisoned, need an antidote."
Wen Xingchen was unhappy. The Xixia people were ambitious and he wanted to kill them, but he couldn't break off relations with them.
It’s really frustrating.
"Then Tuoba Muyuan will definitely not expose Lu Shuxing's death. He hasn't got what he wants yet, so he will definitely contact Lu Shida again."
"What does the princess want to do?"
"Have the Lu family continue to contact the God Tuoba Muyuan and don't reveal their true intentions. After that, I heard that Princess Chahe has someone she likes. Have you found out who it is?"
"heard about it."
Wen Ruyue said that she eloped with someone.
Then Princess Chahe’s lover must have also come to Daliang, and now we have to find him.
"If we can find this person, we can contain Chahe and force him to hand over the antidote. Lu Shuxing still has a chance of survival."
Chen Jingting nodded: "I will handle this matter."
