Chapter 293 The Prince's Son Has Arrived
"Can't you speak properly? Master is perfectly fine here," the First Madam said.
The maidservant quickly said, "Madam, that's not what I meant. I meant that something big has happened outside."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Someone from the Prince's residence has arrived," the maid said in one breath. "And it's the Prince's son himself. He's outside right now and says he wants to come in, so I came to tell you, Master."
The maid knew today that the Grand Elder had summoned the young lady. The Grand Elder's expression was very bad. Moreover, the young lady usually couldn't wait for the master's favor, so the master's summons of the young lady must not be for any good reason. And at this time, the prince's son also came, seemingly to see the young lady again.
"What?!" The First Elder immediately forgot about throwing away the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes widening: "Who did you say came?"
“It’s the prince’s son,” the maid said. “And the servants outside can’t stop him; he might already be inside the mansion by now.”
When the Grand Elder saw Chen Qin sitting there, he knew that He Yi had probably come to see Chen Qin. However, the Grand Elder already knew about Chen Qin's affair, so he naturally dared not let Chen Qin see He Yi. What if Chen Qin said something inappropriate? If only he could have discovered this matter earlier or put Chen Qin in solitary confinement sooner.
The elder was pacing anxiously, and Chen Wan said, "Father, I have a plan."
“This prince’s son must have come looking for my sister, and now that she has committed such a crime, we can’t let the prince’s son find out. If he finds out, the prince will find out too, and the marriage agreement between my sister and the prince’s family will be null and void. At that time…”
Chen Wan paused for a moment, then stopped talking and said, "So now Father can stay here and try to persuade my sister, or discuss with her. I will go out and see if I can stop the prince's son. Even if I can't stop him, it would be good to delay him for a while."
"Alright, alright." The First Elder was also in a panic and said, "Then you should go right away."
"My daughter is resigning."
Chen Wan looked smug, but she quickly concealed it and left.
After Chen Wan left, the Grand Elder looked at Chen Qin and said, "You caused this, and now only you can resolve it."
"Father is truly laughable." Seeing that the jade pendant hadn't been smashed by the Grand Elder, Chen Qinwei breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief and said, "How can you say that I caused this?"
"When the prince's son wants to come is his business. His legs aren't mine, so how did it become my fault?"
"As for the affair, I don't understand it at all. I have already explained it to you, but you still don't believe me."
The matter was nearing its end, and the First Madam was unwilling to let all her efforts go to waste. She said, "Miss, look at you, do you think Wan'er and I would deliberately harm you?"
"Isn't it?" Chen Qin looked down at her legs and said, "I said no, and that means no."
“It’s understandable that Miss doesn’t admit it,” the First Madam sighed. “But now that the Prince’s son has arrived, if he finds out about this, not only you, Miss, but your father will also be implicated. So you must not let him know about this.”
"Oh," Chen Qin replied casually, her perfunctory attitude obvious.
She thought to herself that He Yi not only knew about her "affair," but also knew everything about Chen Wan and the First Madam's plans, because He Yi was the one who had been cheated on.
The Grand Elder was unaware of Chen Qin's thoughts and was angered by her attitude, but he had to force himself to endure it.
The elder swallowed his anger and looked at Chen Qin, saying, "As long as you can properly entertain He Yi, I won't put you in solitary confinement."
"Did I have the chance to refuse?" Chen Qin retorted sarcastically.
The Grand Elder took a deep breath. If it weren't for the arrival of the Prince's son, he would definitely have confined Chen Qin today. But not now, he still needed Chen Qin to deal with the situation.
The Grand Elder forced a smile and said, "Qin'er..."
"Father, please just call me by my name." Chen Qin just wanted to roll her eyes at being called Qin'er by the Grand Elder. "Father, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to be so hypocritical."
The elder stopped pretending and said, "You just need to behave yourself, and here's this jade pendant."
The elder glanced at the jade pendant and said, "If you follow my instructions and behave yourself without causing any trouble, I will return the jade pendant to you after the prince's son leaves."
Chen Qin lowered her eyes, concealing the mockery within, and said, "Alright, then Father must keep his word."
"Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, your father will keep his word."
Chen Qin turned her wheelchair around and said, "Then..."
Just before turning around, Chen Qin glanced at the First Madam. Chen Qin's face showed no emotion, but the First Madam felt a sudden unease and shook her head.
Perhaps I'm making a fuss over nothing. After all, Chen Qin is a useless person who can't even move freely. What kind of trouble could she possibly cause?
However… the First Madam asked worriedly, “Master, will the Eldest Miss really obey? What if she…”
“No,” the elder said. “She will listen to me for the sake of this jade pendant.”
The First Madam breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master is indeed wise."
The elder didn't speak, but just watched Chen Qin slowly pushing the wheelchair and let out a cold snort.
Once he gets rid of He Yi, he certainly won't let Chen Qin off easily.
After Chen Wan went out, before she even saw the prince's son, she saw someone she never expected.
Chen Wan stared wide-eyed at He Yi, who treated the servants as if they were nothing. How did Chen Qin's lover end up here?
If it were before, it would be fine, but today the prince's son is also here, right outside. If the prince's son and Chen Qin's lover bump into each other, everything will be ruined. Chen Wan stood in front of He Yi, gritting her teeth and saying, "Why are you here?"
He Yi looked at Chen Wan, who was blocking his way, and pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Of course I'm here to find Qin'er."
Chen Wan almost choked, thinking that the person in front of her was not thinking straight, as were the servants in the mansion, but He Yi was even more stupid.
As Chen Qin's lover, how dare he swagger over to find her, as if he's afraid others won't know he's there to see her?
"I know," Chen Wan said with a dark face, "but why are you here today?"
"Why can't I come today?" He Yi asked, puzzled.
If it weren't for the fact that she needed to use this person to deal with Chen Qin, Chen Wan would have wanted to kill him directly. She thought that after learning about Chen Qin's engagement to the prince yesterday, He Yi would at least be heartbroken for a while before coming to find Chen Qin. However, she didn't expect that he would come after only one day.
"Don't you hate Chen Qin for getting engaged to someone else behind your back?"
