Chapter 107: Has something really happened in Yunzhou?
A token of love?
Qin Wan froze for a few seconds, and then a blush rose to her face.
She never thought it was a token of their love; she just wanted to give him a gift to express her gratitude for the care he had given her during this time.
If that's what he thinks, then so be it!
Qin Wan nodded shyly, without denying it.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyan's heart was filled with the beauty of fireworks in full bloom.
He immediately took a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Qin Wan.
"This was given to me by my mother. Now I'm giving it to you as a token of our exchange!"
Qin Wan had heard him say how important this jade pendant was to him, and that he always carried it with him, but now he had given it to her.
Qin Wan dared not accept it, nor did she dare to take it.
Before she could even refuse, Xiao Jingyan grabbed Qin Wan's hand and placed the jade pendant in her palm.
"Wan'er, don't worry, I will be good to you!"
This was a promise he made, but these words also made Qin Wan feel ashamed.
She only wanted to marry him, so that she could leave the Marquis's mansion. Once she was truly free from the mansion, she wanted to leave.
The kind of departure that doesn't involve Xiao Jingyan.
Now that he's treating her so well, she's a little scared. She's afraid that he'll end up like the Qin family, getting tired of her and changing his mind.
She didn't want to experience that despair again.
Therefore, Qin Wan buried her true feelings and only listened to Xiao Jingyan's words without taking them seriously.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qin Wan put the jade pendant away; she would return such a precious item to him on the day she left.
"Wan'er, quickly try these..."
"Fifth Prince, it's been a long time since we last met Miss Qin!"
A affected, irritating voice shattered this beautiful moment.
The two turned around at the same time and saw Shen Siyi walking towards them.
There was no one else around.
Qin Wan's dislike was undisguised, and Nian Qi noticed it. When Shen Siyi stepped forward, she stepped aside and blocked Shen Siyi's path.
"The young lady is discussing matters with His Highness. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"
Unauthorized persons?
She, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, has become an idle person?
When she heard from her sisters that Qin Wan had also come today, her first reaction was to seek revenge on Qin Wan.
Because of what happened on the night of the Ghost Festival, she received a severe reprimand from Xiao Jingyu, all because of Qin Wan.
She had nowhere to vent her anger, and today she finally found an opportunity to swagger around.
But she couldn't get close, which made her furious and embarrassed, and she shouted.
"How dare you, you lowly servant! Do you even know who I am?"
Shen Siyi wanted to use her status to suppress Nianqi, but Nianqi was personally trained by Xiao Jingyan and wouldn't listen to that.
"No matter who you are, no one is allowed to approach without Miss's orders!"
Nianqi's gaze was cold, as if she would really attack if Nianqi took another step closer.
"How dare you! My young lady is the future consort of the Fourth Prince, and the legitimate daughter of the current Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. How dare you stop my young lady!"
"My young lady is the future Fifth Prince's consort; her status is no less than yours!"
Nianqi's retort was quite loud. The people around her had expected to see Shen Siyi make things difficult for Qin Wan, but they never expected that she would be put in a difficult position by a maid.
The ridicule from the crowd made Shen Siyi feel embarrassed.
He directly ordered the people blocking his way to be pushed away.
Shen Siyi waved her hand, and the maid rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
Before she could even make a move, Nianqi kicked the maid away, sending her flying five meters away, where she immediately lost consciousness.
"Everyone saw it, they attacked first, so what I did was self-defense!" Nian Qi argued.
This scene startled the onlookers, but Shen Siyi was blinded by anger and only wanted to teach the master and servant a lesson to save face.
Shen Siyi is a young lady from a family of military generals, and she also has some martial arts skills.
If the maid isn't suitable, then I'll do it myself.
But as soon as she raised her hand to slap him, Nianqi grabbed her wrist and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled.
More and more people gathered around to watch the commotion. Qin Wan glanced around and realized that things seemed to be getting out of hand.
He then said, "Your Highness, the boatman should be ready. Let's go boating!"
"Very good, let's go!"
Xiao Jingyan stretched out his arm, and Qin Wan naturally placed her hand on Xiao Jingyan's arm.
The two of them left just like that!
He didn't say a word to Shen Siyi from beginning to end, nor did he even exchange a glance with her, leaving only his back to everyone.
Nianqi only released Shen Siyi's wrist after seeing that everyone had boarded the boat.
"If you dare to mess with this lady again, I'll beat you to death!"
Nianqi clenched his fist, adopting an offensive stance.
Shen Siyi instinctively raised her hand to dodge, but Nianqi's fist only stopped in mid-air, causing no harm but being extremely humiliating.
After the excitement died down, the crowd dispersed.
Shen Siyi stood there, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, her eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred.
She cannot forget the humiliation she suffered today; she will seek revenge.
Pingding Marquis's Mansion.
Su Yan'er went to Qin Huai's study, but Qin Huai had a rule that she could not enter without his permission.
So she circled the door twice but couldn't get in.
He had no choice but to go to Shumei Courtyard to visit Han Shu.
Han Shu was so angry that day that she still felt a burning resentment inside and couldn't vent it.
When she saw Su Yan'er come in, even the smile she forced was incredibly awkward.
"Yan'er, come, sit down!"
Han Shu patted the spot next to her.
After bowing, Su Yan'er sat down.
These past two days, Su Yan'er has been afraid that Qin Huai will come looking for her and ask why Han Shu went to Wanyue Courtyard that day. She is afraid that Qin Huai will blame her for the incident.
So she had been hiding in the west wing for the past two days, and today was the first time she had seen Han Shu since she fainted that day.
"Auntie, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
Han Shu sighed, looking at Su Yan'er in front of her, feeling very emotional. Yan'er could at least come to see her, but her daughter, who had made her faint from anger, had never come even once.
I heard that you went out for a trip today. You were in the mood for sightseeing, but you didn't even think about coming to Shumei Courtyard.
Han Shu took Su Yan'er's hand and said, "I'm much better. It wasn't a big deal after all!"
Han Shu still looked somewhat haggard, and Su Yan'er's worry was written all over her face. Of course, she was also good at letting others know what she was thinking.
"Aunt, even though you're better now, you mustn't be careless. Listen carefully to the doctor's advice, and you must continue taking your medicine!"
"Good child, you're the only one who cares about me right now!"
Han Shu was filled with relief, her slightly reddened eyes almost bringing tears to her eyes.
The maid Dongmei chimed in, following Han Shu's words, "Yes, Miss Yan'er has always been filial. These past two days, the Marquis and the Third Young Master have been out and haven't returned. Only Miss Yan'er has been thinking of Madam and has come to see her!"
Su Yan'er's visit to Han Shu was not just for one reason; she had other matters to discuss as well.
Hearing Dongmei's words, Su Yan'er knew about the situation in Yunzhou, and Han Shu should also know something about it.
She was so eager to know about Qin Lang's situation that she asked directly.
"Uncle and Third Brother have been gone for two days. Is it because of the Yunzhou incident? Has something happened there?"
