Chapter 197 They're all older than her
Xiao Tong coughed strategically twice, then lowered her head and didn't reply.
Because she was in a hurry, Shen Sangwan didn't study it carefully, but she felt relieved after learning the reason.
At first, she thought there was something wrong with her cheat system, which caused problems with the items she acquired. Now that she knows she just didn't read the instructions carefully, she felt relieved.
Shen Sangwan hurriedly returned to Weiyang Palace and, as expected, saw Wen Yuening sitting upright and waiting for her.
Upon seeing the other person, Shen Sangwan immediately softened her voice, her tone choked with grievance, "A-Ning—"
【...】
This will be yet another thing that will shock Xiao Tong about Shen Sangwan.
This change of expression from my master... no, this pretense... doesn't seem right either.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a way to describe Shen Sangwan's fawning behavior at this moment.
It was the first time Wen Yuening had ever seen Shen Sangwan in such a disheveled state. Hearing the faint sound of sobbing in Shen Sangwan's voice, she was so frightened that she thought something had happened and quickly went forward to inquire.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Sangwan was soaked to the bone by the rain, and her skirt was covered in mud.
"Your Highness, what is this...?"
"Waaaah, Ah Ning—"
【yue～】
Xiao Tong covered his mouth with his hand, trying to suppress his discomfort. Afraid that his noise would disturb his master's performance, he quickly found a corner to hide.
"Your Highness, is something wrong? Why are you so soaking wet? I'll go and have someone prepare hot water right away."
The wind was strong at the entrance of the palace. As Wen Yue Ning led the person inside, her eyes scanned the other person back and forth.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that he was not injured.
After the person was seated, he quickly went out to have the palace maid prepare hot water.
Back in the inner palace, she found a soft handkerchief and wiped the rain off Shen Sangwan's face.
The somewhat disheveled Shen Sangwan didn't dare to hug Wen Yuening, so she could only keep wailing.
When the other party asked for the fifth time, Shen Sangwan sniffed and said intermittently, "Yesterday I found Consort Lan, who had disappeared for a long time, in a secret room in the Ming Prince's mansion. Because I was worried that Shen Yujing might have other tricks up his sleeve, I took her to the manor where the Ming Prince's wife was temporarily staying outside the city."
I didn't expect Lin Wanyi to have disappeared when I went there. So I thought I'd try to get something out of Consort Lan, but I ended up wasting time. Ah Ning, I... I was supposed to come back last night, but it was dark and the country roads were difficult to walk on, so... so..."
Shen Sangwan rattled off the speech she had rehearsed countless times on the way back, but whether it was due to nervousness or instinctive fear of Wen Yuening, her words were somewhat hesitant.
"I was planning to return to the palace at dawn today, but then it started to drizzle. I was afraid that A-Ning would worry, so when I saw that the rain was lessening, I immediately turned back. But the country roads were slippery, and I still slipped and fell. Luckily, the horse was alright. Waaah, A-Ning, can you please not be angry with me...?"
Hiding to the side, Xiaotong exclaimed, "Wow!"
As they approached the city, Shen Sangwan clearly stumbled and fell off her horse. He cursed her inwardly for being so careless, falling even on such a flat road.
I never imagined it was just a ploy to play the victim and appease Wen Yue Ning.
My master's preemptive strike was brilliant.
This not only gives the other party a way out, but also positions oneself as the pitiful and weak party, thereby gaining the other party's pity.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a sneaky guy!
When Wen Yuening heard that Shen Sangwan had fallen off her horse, she was so anxious that she wanted to take off his clothes to check his injuries.
"Hey—Ah Ning, Ah Ning, I...I'm fine. I didn't fall badly. The ground was all soft mud, so it didn't hurt much."
But Wen Yue Ning wouldn't listen to Shen Sang Wan's explanation and forcibly took off her clothes.
"No...no...Ah Ning, this isn't good!"
Shen Sangwan felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
Why did you have to choose such a pitiful excuse? You had to trip up and fall down. Now look what you've done, you've only made things worse for yourself.
Seeing that resistance was futile, Shen Sangwan gave up and let the other party rip off her clothes.
Just as she said, the injury was not serious, only slightly red and swollen.
"Fortunately, it's not too serious. Apply some ointment to remove bruises and reduce swelling, and it will be fine in a couple of days."
After all, she planned her own fall, so how could anything have happened?
Shen Sangwan squinted and smiled as she tried to close her clothes, but Wen Yuening refused to let go.
"Ah Ning?"
"Your Highness still has some bruises on your back. Would it be alright if Yue Ning helped Your Highness take a bath?"
Shen Sangwan gave a "polite" smile.
Are you polite?
He questioned it in his heart, but dared not say it aloud, and could only nod and agree with a pout.
The palace maids poured hot water into the wooden tub one after another. After Wen Yuening dismissed everyone, she personally removed Shen Sangwan's clothes one by one.
I feel like a shell-less, boiled egg.
Upon hearing this comment, Wen Yuening also sized up Shen Sangwan, who indeed resembled a peeled hard-boiled egg.
Because of the rain, Shen Sangwan had been soaked all the way and felt cold, so she stepped directly into the wooden tub.
Only its head was sticking out.
I felt very comfortable as my body was enveloped in warmth.
The only thing he was somewhat afraid of was Wen Yue Ning, who was watching him intently from outside the bucket.
She always felt that the other person wasn't being kind and was just simply wiping her back.
Sure enough, Shen Sangwan opened her eyes after soaking for only a short while and saw Wen Yuening untying her belt.
"Ah Ning, what are you doing?"
"What else can you do in the side room if you don't take a bath?"
Shen Sangwan felt that she had gotten too wet in the rain on her way back, which caused her brain to become waterlogged and her hearing to become a little impaired.
"But... there's only one bucket?"
Even at this point, Shen Sangwan still hadn't realized that the bathtub she was in wasn't the small one she usually wore, but had been replaced with an "extra-large" one.
Wearing only her undergarments, Wen Yuening walked over step by step, leaned down over the edge of the bathtub, and whispered in Shen Sangwan's ear, "This Yuanyang Bath was originally prepared for His Highness last night, but unfortunately His Highness did not return last night, so we can only..."
Taking the opportunity, he bit Shen Sangwan's already red earlobe, startling her so much that she quickly retreated. Then she got up and tried to escape, saying, "I...I'm done washing. If Yue Ning wants to wash, I'll make room for you."
Wen Yuening pressed down hard on Shen Sangwan's shoulder, "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Before she had even taken off her undergarments, Wen Yuening stepped directly into the bathtub, forcing people to the other side of the edge.
The hot water soaked her undergarments. Shen Sangwan had her head down, and all she could see was the softness that was faintly visible, which made her swallow several times in a row.
He even subconsciously reached out to pinch it.
These other two seem to be bigger than hers.
Wen Yuening, who was in the middle of flirting, changed her expression upon hearing this.
"One or two? Your Highness, who else—"
