Wanwan is not Wanwan: Who will spoil you after you are reborn?

Not long after Liu Qing left Xie's house, Xie Leqing also took Pei Wanning and Xie Moxuan out in a carriage, went out of the city through the west gate, and headed straight for Xishan.

Shen Wanwan stayed in the palace for the whole day.

He personally boiled the medicine twice and fed it to the empress dowager. Before leaving the palace, he took her pulse again to confirm that her condition was stable before he felt at ease to take the imperial carriage back to Xie Mansion.

It was already dusk when we returned to Xie's house.

After entering the house, she went straight to the dining room.

Pei Guangguang and Nangong Xiyu were having dinner in the dining room.

It would be more accurate to say that the two were waiting for someone rather than having a meal.

They held chopsticks in their hands but didn't move for a long time. They all stared with big eyes in the same direction.

When Shen Wanwan stepped over the threshold, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's Sister Wan, Sister Wan is back!"

Nangong Xiyu jumped down from the chair and ran towards Shen Wanwan, "Sister Wan, if you don't come back soon, we'll really be alone."

Shen Wanwan: “???”

Is this how the term "lonely man" is used?

"Why are there only the two of you? Where are your aunt and the others?"

She had lunch in the palace at noon and wanted to come back to have dinner with her aunt and others.

"My mother went out of town, and Sister Ning and Cousin Mo Xuan also went with her. We wanted to go too, but my mother said we were too young and would take us next time."

Pei Guangguang rolled his eyes. "You're the younger one. Isn't it because of you that Mom didn't take me with her?"

He gets angry when he talks about this.

My mother and the others went to burn incense for my uncle, but left him alone to look after this annoying guy.

Ever since he could remember, his mother would go to Xishan to pay homage to his eldest uncle every year on his uncle's death anniversary, and she would always bring him and his sister with her.

As for before he could remember, my sister told me that when he was still unable to walk, his mother carried him to pay homage to his uncle.

Pei Guangguang had a cold face, and was complaining in his heart. It was all Nangong Xiyu's fault. If it weren't for him, why would his mother keep him in the mansion?

This morning, he heard some movement at the gate of the mansion and immediately ran out of his yard. He saw with his own eyes that someone had entered the front hall. He also wanted to go in, but was stopped outside the door and was not even allowed to get close to it.

I couldn't hear what the people in the house were talking about, so naturally I didn't know why my mother and the others suddenly went to Xishan to worship.

In fact, he had already told his mother that he had grown up and could do many things for her.

But his mother still treated him as a child, which made him very distressed.

After Nangong Xiyu appeared, his mother looked at him more and more like she was looking at a child.

But he is not a child anymore, how can I treat him the same way I treat Nangong Xiyu?

Shen Wanwan frowned, "Master is not here, and you two children are the only ones eating at home. How come there's not even anyone to serve you?"

She felt a little angry.

Do the servants of the Xie Mansion always treat the young master like this?

"It was my brother Guangguang and I who asked them to go downstairs to eat first."

Nangong Xiyu gently shook Shen Wanwan's sleeve, her little mouth opening and closing, "Sister Wan, please don't be angry. Please don't punish them, okay? If you really want to punish them, punish Yu'er. Yu'er is thick-skinned and can take a beating."

When Nangong Xiyu was sent to Xie's Mansion, he did not bring any servants from Prince Pingnan's Mansion.

He now lives in Pei Guangguang's courtyard and gets along well with the servants of Zhuijin Garden. Naturally, he doesn't want them to be punished because of him.

Pei Guangguang nodded. "He's right. It was us who didn't allow anyone to serve us. Cousin, if you really want to blame someone, just blame us. It has nothing to do with them."

Shen Wanwan looked at the two men, who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and asked helplessly, "Who told you I was going to punish someone?"

She was slightly angry because she was worried that the servants would bully them two little ones while their master was away.

She had personally experienced the situation of a servant bullying his master in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she didn't want such a thing to happen again in the Xie Mansion.

Once you know the reason, you won’t think about it anymore.

Nangong Xiyu jumped up with joy, "Really? Sister Wan is really not angry?"

Shen Wanwan couldn't help but reach out and scratch his nose, "Okay, let's eat first."

Halfway through dinner, Xie Leqing came back.

Shen Wanwan looked towards the door. "Aunt, where are Wanning and the others? Didn't they come back with us?"

After Xie Leqing entered the door, there was no one else behind him.

"They went to the Princess's Mansion and will stay there tonight."

Xie Leqing glanced at the dining table. "Aunt, please prepare some clothes and have them sent over. Wan'er, you should go back and rest early after dinner. Tomorrow we will go to the princess's residence to pay our respects."

She had no appetite and hurried back because she was worried that the two children didn't eat well.

When she went out in the morning, the two children clamored to go with her, but she forced them to stay in the house.

If it were usual, he would take Guangguang with him to pay homage to his uncle.

But Yu'er now lives in Xie's mansion. We can't leave him alone in the mansion, and it's impossible to take him with us. We have no choice but to let Guangguang stay with him in the mansion.

If she had known that Wan'er had returned home, she would not have gone to the dining hall.

……

The next day.

After breakfast, Shen Wanwan did not go to the palace immediately to see the empress dowager for a follow-up consultation. Instead, she and Xie Leqing took a carriage to the princess's mansion to pay their respects.

Pei Guangguang and Nangong Xiyu also went with them.

The Xie family's carriage slowly stopped two streets away from the Princess's Mansion.

The driver's voice rang out, "Madam, the road ahead is blocked, and our carriage can't go any further."

Shen Wanwan lifted the car window curtain and peeked out. The road was indeed blocked.

"It seems that they all came to the princess's residence to pay their respects."

She lowered the curtains and said, "Aunt, how about we get out of the car and walk over there?"

Xie Leqing nodded.

Shen Wanwan took Nangong Xiyu's hand and walked out of the carriage first and got off.

Pei Guangguang followed closely behind, and Xie Leqing was at the end.

The people in other carriages also came out one after another and got off the carriages.

Suddenly, there were more and more people on the street.

Everyone moved slowly towards the Princess's Mansion, all wearing plain-colored clothes and accessories.

Today, the vermilion lacquered gate of the Princess's Mansion has had all its gilded decorations removed, and white lanterns are hung on both sides.

Shen Wanwan raised her eyes to glance at the plaque on the door frame. The six characters "Princess Pingyang's Mansion" were still there, but the black cloth that covered half of it was like a stone, weighing heavily on her heart.

The last time she came to the princess's mansion, a large number of royal guards surrounded the gate.

At that time, she knew very well that she could not enter the princess's mansion through the main gate, so she took a big detour and climbed over the wall from the backyard.

But only three days later, he came to the princess's mansion again to pay his respects.

Things in this world are so unpredictable!

She could still vividly remember the scene of Zhao Ziyi hugging her and crying, begging her to help rescue the princess from the clan prison.

She didn't know the specific situation at the time and didn't dare to agree directly.

If it were now, she would nod and agree without hesitation.

No one expected that the princess would leave so suddenly and decisively.

The princess should have known that the emperor would not let her die, but she still chose to take this path.

Shen Wanwan sighed silently, tightened her grip on Nangong Xiyu's hand slightly, and walked up the stairs.

Xie Leqing was thinking more than Shen Wanwan. Her emotions were complicated and her face was pale and haggard. It was obvious that she did not get enough rest last night.

Pei Guangguang held her hand. It was very cold and he could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

"Mother, are you okay?"

He rubbed her hands caringly.

Xie Leqing came back to his senses and shook his head, "Mom is fine."

He took a deep breath before stepping over the threshold.

As I stepped on the bluestone road, I could clearly feel the sad atmosphere hanging over the princess's mansion becoming even thicker.

After entering the hanging flower gate and walking around the corridor, you can smell the intermittent sandalwood and the suppressed sobs of the old maids.

In the warm room, the bright silks that used to be hung have now been replaced by plain gauze.

The rosewood coffin was placed in the middle.

Many people came to pay their respects.

In addition to the ladies of the major mansions, there were also many officials appointed by the imperial court.

Princess Pingyang was not convicted, and she is still the most honorable princess of the Nanyao Kingdom, so it is natural for her to come and pay her respects.

Shen Wanwan saw Zhao Ziyi kneeling on the mat, crying her heart out. She almost collapsed on Pei Wanning beside her.

Xie Moxuan was squatting beside the brazier, throwing paper money into it, his face looked very bad.

The wounds on his body had not healed yet. After a whole day's journey yesterday, he returned to the city and went to the princess's residence to accompany Zhao Ziyi to keep vigil for Princess Pingyang.

When the mourners saw this scene, they were all stunned, but no one expressed their doubts on the spot.
