A few days ago, Chu Yan had encountered a situation where Princess Ning got up late.
But at that time, there would be a maid taking her to the study and serving snacks and tea, instead of just letting her stand in front of the main room like now, with no one paying attention.
Before she came to the capital, her mother-in-law once commented on Princess Ning: "Although we have known each other since childhood, we have not spent much time together. She does a good job in the scene, and no one can find anything wrong with her."
At that time, Chu Yan thought that Princess Ning was at least a decent person, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Was she the one who caused Li Han to get entangled with Shen Yin? Was it she who made Shen Yin pregnant? Did she keep Shen Yin outside as a foreign wife?
It was clearly not her fault, but he used this method to punish her as if it was her fault.
Xiangyi lowered her voice and said in Chu Yan's ear: "It's really too much! The banquet has been decided, why should the young lady suffer this injustice?"
Chu Yan shook his head at her: "I'm waiting here, not to show weakness or to please, but to do it for everyone to see."
Hearing this, Xiangyi didn't persuade her any more, she responded in a low voice and stood with him.
An hour later, the door of the main room finally opened. Cui Yuan seemed to have just realized that she was outside. She said with a surprised look on her face: "Why is the princess outside? Come in quickly."
She led Chu Yan into the house, then turned around and scolded the maid in the distance: "How did you do this? You actually let the princess wait outside like this?"
The maids apologized one after another, and Chu Yan said softly: "I don't want to disturb others, and I can't blame them."
"That means the princess is kind-hearted."
Cui Yuan snorted coldly: "Next time, watch your skin carefully!"
"How unbecoming is it to yell and scream so early in the morning!"
Princess Ning walked out of the back room and saw that Chu Yan had lost her usual kindness and enthusiasm. She only glanced at him lightly and then looked away.
Chu Yan pretended not to see her and greeted her as usual, without even changing his attitude.
Princess Ning snorted coldly: "Han'er was born from my belly. He is dirty, and I am not clean at all. I feel wronged by you for pretending to say hello to this dirty person like me every day." .”
Chu Yan's expression did not change when he heard this, and he just said in a low voice: "It was Yan'er who was so angry and spoke so unscrupulously that she hurt my aunt."
Princess Ning punched the cotton and frowned at her: "Chu Yan, Han'er did something wrong about Shen Yin, but how many lustful men are there? Han'er already knows his mistake and is willing to do it for you. Aborted that child, why did you hurt his heart over such a trivial matter?"
What a small thing.
The deceptions that the mother and son had worked together in the past had become her ignorance and hurt Li Han's heart.
Chu Yan smiled: "What my aunt said is absolutely true, but it is Brother Han's blood after all, and it is his first child. How could he get rid of it so easily? Yan'er also thinks about Brother Han, lest he act impulsively. Do something you regret."
Princess Ning frowned when she heard this: "Chu Yan, you must understand what I mean."
Chu Yan nodded: "Yan'er understands that although the marriage has failed, the friendship between the two families is still there. Yan'er is willing to treat Brother Han as his own brother."
"you!"
Princess Ning suddenly became angry, waved her sleeves and said: "Go down, you don't have to come back in the future!"
When Chu Yan heard this, he raised his head and looked at her with a flustered and confused expression: "Aunt, what did Yan'er do wrong? If it was what happened yesterday, Yan'er already knew that she was wrong. Before coming, her mother and concubine specifically explained However, I want to serve my aunt as my own aunt, didn’t my aunt say the same thing before?”
Princess Ning couldn't get up or down immediately after taking a breath.
She looked at Chu Yan's innocent face and sneered: "I have underestimated you. Okay, if you want to come, I won't stop you, just come!"
When Chu Yan heard this, she immediately became happy. She took two steps forward and came to her side, saying politely, "Aunt, don't be angry. Yan'er has no one in the capital. Only aunt treats Yan'er the best."
Princess Ning was about to explode with anger, but Chu Yan was acting like this, so she didn't even know what excuse to make for the attack!
She took a deep breath, looked at Chu Yan and said, "I am in a bad mood today, please go back first."
Chu Yan nodded obediently when he heard this: "Then tomorrow, Yan'er will come to accompany my aunt again."
Princess Ning nodded with a smile on her face. After she left, she smashed the tea cup in her hand: "As expected of the daughter she taught, she is even more hypocritical than her!"
Chu Yan smiled silently when he heard the sound of the tea cup breaking.
Who said that if you give someone a hard time, you have to go head-on?
There is no airtight wall in the world. When Chu Yan stood at the door for an hour, before noon, the news spread throughout Prince Ning's Mansion.
Li Yuan said in a low voice with some indignation: "It's obviously the eldest brother who did something wrong and let down Sister Chu's sincerity. Why does the princess still treat her like this?!"
Li Xin also said angrily: "Fortunately, we helped my eldest brother get through. Now it seems that we didn't do too much, otherwise we would have become sinners!"
Although Zhang and Jiang were from Princess Ning, they shook their heads when they heard this.
The two scolded Li Yuan and Li Xin in a low voice: "It's not your turn to comment on the princess's affairs. Don't forget that your marriage is in her hands."
When Li Yuan and Li Xin heard this, they were so aggrieved that they stopped talking.
Zhang said in a low voice: "If word spreads about what the princess did, I'm afraid it will be even more criticized."
Mrs. Jiang hesitated and said, "Why don't we go and persuade the princess?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at her and said: "Today is different from the past. We can't protect ourselves, and we are not as close to the princess as before. It's better not to bring trouble and cause trouble."
Ms. Jiang sighed, shook her head and stopped talking.
At noon, Li Han came to the main courtyard and ate with Princess Ning.
Princess Ning looked at him with hatred and said: "Last night, you said you were going to deal with Shen Yin's matter, but you didn't come back until noon. Is this how you dealt with it?!"
Li Han glanced at her and said awkwardly: "She has no relatives, and that child is the only one in the world who is related to her by blood. My son really can't do it."
Princess Ning put down her chopsticks with a snap, and was about to have a fit when Li Han said quickly: "Concubine, please don't get angry first, and listen to your son. What his son means is that if he can save Yan'er, he will abort the child immediately. If he can't, he will abort the child immediately." , it doesn’t matter whether it’s aborted or not, what’s in Shen Yin’s belly is his son’s flesh and blood after all.”
Hearing this, Princess Ning fell silent.
After a moment, she said: "Then don't fight."
Li Han was stunned when he heard this: "What does the mother-in-law mean by these words?"
Princess Ning waved her hand, and the servants in the room immediately retreated.
She whispered: "As you said, Shen Yin is indeed pitiful. If she is forced to beat her child, Master Shen's disciples will definitely be prejudiced against you, which will be detrimental to your career."
Li Han frowned: "But Yan'er..."
Princess Ning snorted softly: "She has something to say today, which reminds me that she has no relatives in the capital. If the uncooked rice becomes cooked rice, no one can seek justice for her. Although right now The world doesn’t value a woman’s chastity, but as a noblewoman, she can’t tell this matter to outsiders, right?”
