Chapter 285 – My Son Has Facial Paralysis (part 16)

Three days later, Li Su and Li Chen left the capital.

Half a month later, County Princess Wanyi got married.

This day was probably the most energetic day for Jiang Hewen in the past 20 years. The entire Jiang family was full of joy, and decorated with lanterns and coloured streamers. Although the wedding was not held at the Jiang family, it was held in the county princess’ mansion across the street. The Jiang family’s son became the county princess’ consort, which brought glory to the Jiang family.

After worshipping the heavens and the earth and paying respects to the guests, Jiang Hewen returned to the new house full of alcohol. Unexpectedly, he was stopped outside the door of the new house.

“County Princess Consort, the county princess is unwell and has gone to rest. Please go to the west wing to rest!” Yu Ning said softly.

Jiang Hewen was a little displeased. “Today is the wedding night of the county princess and I. There is no reason why the bride and groom are not together. Get out of the way!”

Another maid, named Yu Fei, who had ridiculed Jiang Hewen for the dog, said quickly, “County Princess Consort, have you forgotten that this is the manor of the county princess? What the county princess says is the law.”

“You!” Jiang Hewen looked at the reaction of the two maids, the soft and the hard, and suddenly felt like he had been splashed with cold water. He realised that his future marriage life was probably completely different from what he had thought.

Jiang Hewen really wanted to get angry. He wanted to yell and wanted to question County Princess Wanyi about who she thought he was. But when he looked at the strong guards who were staring at them, Jiang Hewen didn’t dare to do that.

Jiang Hewen also wanted to leave in a fit of anger, but he also knew that the people in the county princess’ mansion would not let him go. As soon as he left, he and Prince Kang’s mansion became the laughing stock of the town.

After weighing his options, Jiang Hewen could only go to the West Wing with humiliation. He endured a sleepless night.

It was hard to stay up until dawn. Princess Wanyi still hadn’t gotten up, even though it was late morning.

Jiang Hewen became impatient. On the second day of the wedding, the new daughter-in-law was supposed to go and see her in-laws and brothers-in-law. His parents and eldest sister-in-law must be waiting. Although she was a county princess, there were also many county princesses who were virtuous and displayed female virtue, who took the initiative to visit their in-laws on the second day after marriage. Wanyi was so arrogant that she refused to even pretend?

“Go and ask when the county princess will wake up.” Jiang Hewen couldn’t help but point to a maid.

The maid glanced at him but did not move. She remained in place.

Just as Jiang Hewen was about to get angry, the door was opened. “The county princess has woken up. County Princess Consort should have breakfast together.”

Jiang Hewen had no choice but to go in.

At the dinner table, Jiang Hewen looked at County Princess Wanyi’s beautiful face, but the anger in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. “Will County Princess be going back to the Jiang mansion after breakfast? My parents and sisters-in-law are still waiting for us!”

County Princess Wanyi didn’t even look at him. “If the consort is homesick, move back to the Jiang family’s mansion! If I have need of you here, I will call for you. Yuning, pack things up for the consort.”

Jiang Hewen didn’t expect that County Princess Wanyi would not even pretend, and that he would be kicked out of the County Princess’ mansion on the second day of the wedding! He couldn’t bear it anymore. He put down his chopsticks suddenly, stood up, and said angrily, “County Princess, aren’t you going too far? What did I do to offend County Princess for County Princess to humiliate me like this?!”

County Princess Wanyi was eating her own meal comfortably and didn’t take Jiang Hewen seriously at all.

It wasn’t just County Princess Wanyi, but even the maids serving next to her were very calm. No one cared about Jiang Hewen’s feelings or attitude.

Such a feeling was something Jiang Hewen had never experienced before. When he and Li Su were marrying before, the people in the general’s mansion were very polite and warm when they saw him.

Jiang Hewen felt that he was about to explode.

“County Princess!”

County Princess Wanyi finally raised her head. “Since you want to save face and you don’t want to go back to the Jiang family’s house, then someone will clean up a yard for the consort in the west. The consort can live in it. You all should carefully serve the consort. Don’t do any scandalous things that dirty my eyes. I’m not as good-natured as Eldest Princess Hengyang.”

Jiang Hewen couldn’t believe his ears. Not only did she refuse to fulfill her obligations as a wife, she also forbade him to touch other women! How could there be such a domineering woman in this world?!

“You’re too much! I’m going to find the empress dowager and the emperor. I’m going to find the eldest prince! I want, I want…” Jiang Hewen said angrily.

“Go then. If you have the ability to see the empress dowager and emperor, then go and file a complaint.” County Princess Wanyi sneered. “Take the consort away soon! I don’t want to be around this disgusting person!”

A few guards came over immediately and dragged Jiang Hewen out. At the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Hewen saw several men dressed differently from the others. All of them were handsome.

Jiang Hewen immediately understood what was going on. There was a violent tumbling in his chest. His eyes rolled back and he fainted with anger.

When Jiang Hewen woke up, he was already locked in a courtyard. There were several tall men standing at the door. The walls were eight feet high. There was everything in the room. There were two maids serving him. Three meals were delivered each day and the food was not bad.

But Jiang Hewen felt a burst of despair. How long would he be trapped here?

No, definitely not. He was an important person. He had a father and a mother. County Princess Wanyi wouldn’t be able to trap him for long.

When he managed to get out, he must expose Wanyi’s true face! He wanted everyone to see what kind of person County Princess Wanyi was!

On the Jiang family’s side, Jiang Wande, Mrs. Jiang-Wang and the others waited for a long time, but they never saw Jiang Hewen or County Princess Wanyi.

Jiang Wande was impatient and asked Chen San to go to the county princess’ mansion to inquire. Chen San and others were originally scheduled to move to the county princess’ mansion with Jiang Hewen later.

Chen San went to the county princess’ mansion, but it was in vain. The people in the county princess’ mansion said that the county princess and the consort went to Prince Kang’s mansion early in the morning and had not returned.

When Chen San came back and said this, Jiang Wande had no choice. She was a county princess. How could he dare to treat the county princess as his daughter-in-law! He had to let everyone go.

Mrs. Jiang-Wang complained. “Hewen is also at fault. Even if he doesn’t come back, he should send someone to say something. He let everyone wait for a long time.”

Jiang Wande was a little puzzled and looked at Chen San. “Aren’t you going to move to the county princess’ mansion today? What happened?”

Chen San said, “Just now, the steward of the county princess’s mansion said that the county princess’ mansion has enough people serving, so we don’t need to go any more.”

Jiang Wande frowned. “This can’t be allowed. There’s no one around Hewen. You can go to the county princess’ mansion and keep watch. If Hewen comes back, you can go to Hewen and see what he has to say.”

Chen San nodded and said, “Yes, this one understands.”

But Chen San waited near the county princess’ mansion until it was dark. He did not see the county princess and the young master come back, so he had to come back angrily.

The next day, he saw the county princess’ sedan leaving the house, but he didn’t see Jiang Hewen. Chen San chased after them and asked. The people in the county princess’ mansion only said that the county princess consort and the county princess have a good relationship. The two were sharing a carriage.

When Chen San went back and said this, Jiang Wande was relieved. If he didn’t come back, then so be it. As long as Hewen and the county princess had a good relationship and had children soon, then he had nothing to worry about.

Later, they heard that the county princess and the county princess consort were going to move to another courtyard to relax.

Chen San hurried to catch up, only to see Jiang Hewen’s back. After going back and informing the family of this. Jiang Wande and Mrs. Jiang-Wang, on one hand, were happy that their son and the county princess were inseparable, but on the other hand, were also a little uncomfortable. When one married a daughter-in-law and forgot one’s parents, then there was something wrong.

Jiang Wande was better. After all, he was a man. There were many things outside. When he was busy, he wouldn’t think of these things. But Mrs. Jiang-Wang was different. She was a housewife who stayed in the house all day. Her eldest daughter-in-law and her were not close, and she had no one to speak to. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would be cranky.

After going back and forth, she became depressed.

After Jiang Wande learned the reason, he felt a little helpless. When he thought of other people marrying a daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed harmoniously. Here, Hewen deserted his family and he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Chen San, when you go to Hewen, tell him that his mother is ill and ask him to come back to visit.”

Chen San took those orders and left.

When he rushed to the other courtyard, he didn’t see Jiang Hewen, but he saw the county princess.

County Princess Wanyi looked tired. “The consort’s mother is ill. Originally, this county princess and the consort should have gone back to take a look, but unfortunately, when the consort was riding with this county princess yesterday, he accidentally fell from the horse and broke his leg. Now it is difficult for him to move.”

Chen San was very surprised. “Can this one see the injury of the county princess consort? This one can talk to the old man and his wife when I go back so that they don’t worry.”

County Princess Wanyi nodded. “This is natural. This county princess didn’t sleep last night and this county princess is a little tired. This county princess will go to rest first. Yu Ning, take him to see the consort!”

“Yes, County Princess.”

After County Princess Wanyi finished speaking, she went back to her room surrounded by her maids.

Yu Ning took Chen San through the corridor. They walked for about half an hour before coming to a courtyard. Yu Ning introduced Chen San. “The county princess consort is here recuperating.”

Chen San saw that the yard had a quiet environment and was a good place to heal wounds, so he felt a little relieved.

Yu Ning took Chen San into the yard. As soon as he entered, he heard Jiang Hewen’s pained roars, and Chen San’s heart skipped a beat. How badly was his young master hurt?! He was such a person who paid attention to his image every day. How could he be so rude?

Chen San couldn’t help but quicken his pace. He strode past Yu Ning and rushed in first.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Jiang Hewen was lying on the bed. Two burly men were holding him down and several doctors were surrounding him, seemingly trying to fix his bones.

When Jiang Hewen saw Chen San, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly let out a painful roar, “Ah!!!!”

Chen San couldn’t bear to look at the scene directly. It seemed that the young master’s injury was serious.

Yu Ning explained softly by the side. “The county princess has already ordered for someone to call a military doctor. The county princess consort injured his leg and the military doctor is more experienced in treating this kind of injury.”

Chen San nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes! The county princess’ arrangements must be appropriate. I wonder if my master may come to visit the county princess consort?”

Yu Ning thought for a while. “Of course this is possible, but before you come, let someone come over and say that the county princess is ready.”

Chen San nodded quickly. “That’s fine.” Then, Chen San took a few steps forward, wanting to see Jiang Hewen’s situation, but the doctors surrounded Jiang Hewen so much that he could not see Jiang Hewen’s face.

Chen San couldn’t say anything directly to Jiang Hewen, so he could only speak in Jiang Hewen’s direction. “County Princess Consort, everything is fine at home, but the old man and his wife are worried about you. You can rest and recover in peace. This one will go back and report to the master. In a few days, the master will probably come to visit the county princess consort.”

From an angle that Chen San couldn’t see, Jiang Hewen’s mouth was tightly covered. Jiang Hewen was unable to make any sound. He could only listen to Chen San’s voice gradually fade away.
