Shen Miao listened and began to feel embarrassed.
Shen Wan was deliberately making things difficult for her!
“I… I don’t know how to heal her…”
The Shen family’s clinic relied entirely on Shen Wan. Shen Mingyuan and Shen Miao had never considered what would happen if she weren’t around they just assumed everything would be fine as long as Shen Wan was there.
This mess was entirely Shen Miao’s doing, and Shen Wan had already pleaded on her behalf. Were they really going to drag their faces over to ask Shen Wan to heal someone’s face?
Shen Miao realized that she had truly lost today.
Shen Wan had spoken favorably for her in front of the General, and from now on, Shen Miao would probably be constantly blackmailed over this incident.
With others around, Shen Mingyuan just wanted to resolve the matter quickly. Since the General wasn’t going to pursue it, there was no reason to continue discussing it.
Shen Mingyuan pulled Shen Miao aside and gave a sheepish smile. “Wanwan, we’ll think about this matter later. Today is your wedding. Your uncle will apologize on behalf of your sister. Don’t let your sister’s actions ruin such a happy day.”
Shen Wan felt that her goal had already been achieved, so she said nothing.
With Yan Xiao present, they would have to figure out later how to deal with the little maid’s face.
Seeing them struggling a bit lifted Shen Wan’s spirits considerably.
She had been woken early by the General’s household staff to dress in her wedding gown, and had even been taken around outside by Yan Xiao.
She was tired.
She wanted to return to her room on the second floor to rest, leaving the courtyard to Yan Xiao and his guards.
Going upstairs, she noticed the household staff moving her belongings out of the room one by one.
Before she could ask, an older servant explained, “Madam, now that you and the General are married, your belongings need to be moved to his bedroom. If there’s anything you want moved that isn’t, just let me know.”
Shen Wan went to the bed and bent down to take out a wooden box hidden underneath.
It was her dowry from Yan Xiao.
She had kept it with her ever since the day he dragged her back from the train station, fearing that if it were left in the Shen household, it would inevitably fall into Shen Miao’s hands.
There was so much money inside that hiding it in various places wasn’t a problem…
She just needed to find a safe spot.
A place where she wouldn’t have to worry every day about it being stolen.
When Yan Xiao lost control of his desires, his boundary-crossing acts had always been more like “threats” than real harm.
When things reached a critical point, he always knew when to stop.
Realistically, they might have just kissed or held each other’s waists.
Now that they were officially married, she was his lawful wife would Yan Xiao really take advantage of this to do whatever he pleased?
Knowing his temper, he probably would.
Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry.
Her hair was slightly messy, with fine strands escaping the bun at the back of her head.
They brushed against her neck, making her feel ticklish.
She raised her hand to touch it. “Do I have to continue living here?”
Did she really have to share a room with Yan Xiao?
“That… Madam, you’ll need to discuss that with the General.”
Sharing a room with him would inevitably lead to… certain things.
Although Yan Xiao had never forced her, Shen Wan knew that resistance during intimacy could be frustrating.
And if he got frustrated, he would get angry, which would only lead to conflict.
But she couldn’t bring herself to address this with him proactively…
Yan Xiao’s bedroom was more spacious, with a small balcony and a brand-new dressing table tucked in the corner.
The dressing table seemed to have been specially prepared for her arrival.
Shen Wan sat on the bed.
She hadn’t eaten anything since waking up that morning.
She looked at the older servant waiting by the door.
“Your name?”
“You can call me Aunt Tao, Madam.”
“Aunt Tao, is there any food left from the wedding feast? I’m a little hungry…”
It seemed like Aunt Tao had been waiting for her to ask.
“The food was prepared in exact portions, Madam. There’s probably none left. If you’re hungry, I can inform the General.”
She was hungry just bringing her something to eat would be fine.
Why did she need to tell Yan Xiao at all?!
