Chapter 332 Broken Yard
Shen Qiaoqiao came to Shen Yiyi and hooked her arm.
"Big sister, you are so lucky to be valued by the prince!"
After saying that, he picked up a phoenix head on the tray and was about to put it on his head, but it was snatched away by Shen Yiyi.
"This was given to me by the prince." She snatched it and stuck it vertically into her head.
Even though she didn't want to marry the prince, there was no need for him to give away the things he gave her to others.
Now she comes to show her goodwill in front of me, trying to take advantage of me. Does she really think she is still the original owner?
After saying a few nice words, she foolishly gave the things to others. Shen Qiaoqiao didn't expect Shen Yiyi to be so disrespectful to her.
"You..." Her face turned red with anger.
He glared at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction. In the past, he could get anything good from her just by praising her a few words. But now, she actually lost her face in front of so many people. It was so embarrassing.
Looking at the phoenix-head hairpin on the Crown Princess's head, which was inserted like a lightning rod, Eunuch An wanted to laugh.
"Princess, I will go to your yard and see if there is anything else you need."
"No need, I don't need anything." Shen Yiyi shook her head.
All she lacked now was a document to cancel the engagement, but she couldn't say that.
"Crown Princess, please let me go and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to report back to the Crown Prince."
Eunuch An said this with a respectful look on his face, then glanced at Shen Ze, who immediately understood.
"Since the prince is so concerned about you, why not let Eunuch An go and take a look."
It seems that Eunuch An came to visit Yi Yi on behalf of the Crown Prince. If he is not allowed to see her, I think the Crown Prince will not be happy.
"..." Shen Yiyi didn't say anything.
Mainly because he was in a bad mood, he just watched if he wanted to and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Seeing that the Crown Princess did not refuse, Eunuch An was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Wan.
"Eunuch An, since Yiyi said she doesn't need anything, then there's no need to bother you.
Besides, if she needs anything, she still has me as her mother, and I will buy it for her." Mrs. Wan smiled reluctantly.
If the eunuch were to go there and see that the girl's yard was shabby, and then go back and tell the prince about it, then her reputation of being harsh on her adopted daughter would spread.
How could anyone who could serve the prince be a stupid person? After hearing what Mrs. Wan said, he had guessed almost everything. Eunuch An's face also darkened.
"Madam Shen, we are following the orders of the Crown Prince. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"..."Wan.
She almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. This damn eunuch actually used the prince to pressure her.
"Since it is the prince's request, please come this way, Eunuch An." Shen Ze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
It seems that if Eunuch An doesn't see Yiyi's yard today, he won't give up.
Then let him go and take a look. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you really stop him from going, it will definitely make the prince unhappy.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty." Eunuch An smiled again.
Shen Ze walked out of the house together, and Shen Yiyi followed reluctantly behind.
"..."
The engagement has not been cancelled, which is frustrating. I don’t know how General Zhan will handle things.
Seeing so many good things being taken away, Shen Qiaoqiao looked heartbroken.
"Mother, I like those too. Go ask that damn girl for them."
She stared at the jewelry the servants were holding, each piece was a rare treasure.
If I could bring it to meet my sisters, they would definitely be envious of me.
Mrs. Wan was thinking about other things at the moment. When she heard her daughter say this, she glared at her in dissatisfaction.
"Let's talk about it later." She hurriedly followed after picking up her skirt, making Shen Qiaoqiao so angry that she jumped to her feet.
Shen Ze and Eunuch An followed Uncle Zhong and walked for a long time before they arrived at Shen Yiyi's yard.
At that time, I was shocked by how shabby it was inside.
"Who let the young lady live here?" He pointed at the yard and looked at Uncle Zhong with dissatisfaction.
Not to mention that the courtyard is so far away, it is so shabby and it is not a place for a legitimate daughter to live in.
Even the rooms where the servants lived were much better than this, and even Eunuch An was shocked.
"..."
No wonder the Crown Prince asked him to take a look at the Crown Princess's yard. It turns out the living environment of the Crown Princess is so poor.
Not only has the paint on the doors and windows fallen off, but some of the houses are leaking from the roof. It feels like no one has lived in this yard for a long time.
"My lord, the eldest lady has lived in this courtyard for more than ten years." Uncle Zhong said respectfully.
"It's been more than ten years!" Shen Ze stared at Zhong Bo in disbelief.
Looking at the yard in front of him again, he remembered that Yi Yi used to live in the yard next to her mother. How could she live here?
"Yes, the eldest daughter was sent to this courtyard in the second year after the lady passed away." Uncle Zhong still had a respectful look on his face.
"The second year after my wife passed away." Shen Ze frowned.
The year after his wife passed away was also the year he made Wan his principal wife. So as soon as Wan became the mistress, she brought Yi Yi here.
No wonder she said she often went hungry. The place she lived in was so remote and shabby, how could the food be good?
As soon as Wan arrived, she saw the look in the master's eyes that seemed to show he wanted to kill her, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"Master, this is not my fault. Yiyi was always angry back then because she said she didn't want to see me and that's why she lived so far away. And I also advised her not to..."
"Shut up!" Shen Ze was completely furious.
Now he didn't want to listen to her explanation, because he wouldn't believe it no matter what she said.
But since there were outsiders around, I couldn't lose my temper and had to hold back my anger.
"Someone, come, help the Crown Princess clean up." Eunuch An's tone was not as respectful as before.
Who could tolerate the fact that his Crown Princess lived in such a poor condition?
"Eunuch, there's no need to clean up. I'll clean up a yard for my daughter later." Shen Ze looked at Eunuch An.
How could the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion live in such a shabby courtyard, not to mention that Yiyi is the future crown princess.
Eunuch An was about to nod in agreement when he was stopped by Shen Yiyi.
"No, I'm used to living in this yard and don't want to move anymore."
Shen Yiyi shook her head. Although the yard was a little shabby, it was quiet and far away from them.
It is more convenient to sneak out from the backyard, and basically no one will find you, so I don’t want to change the yard.
I don’t want to be stared at by those people all day long, making it difficult to do anything.
"Yiyi, I know you have been wronged over the years, tell me now.
Whichever yard you like, I will have someone clean it up for you." Shen Ze looked at Shen Yiyi.
His tone was much gentler now, and he felt even more guilty in his heart. He had indeed owed his daughter a lot over the years.
"I've already said that I'm used to living in this yard and don't want to move." Shen Yiyi shook her head decisively.
Why didn't you do that earlier! If I had been so kind to the original owner earlier, she wouldn't have died of depression.
Now she has gotten used to living there, and it is convenient when she goes out, but she doesn't want to live close to them and be bothered by them.
