After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since Emperor Wuzong passed away.

Over the past three years, the Shen family has become an unassailable social class in Yanjing City.

Shen Li, the head of the Shen family, is the Grand General who commands 200,000 troops in Longxi.

The eldest son, Shen Tingchuan, was a highly decorated general who guarded the southwest and served as the General of the Southwest Cavalry.

The eldest daughter, Shen Ning, is the current Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The second son, Shen Yan, became the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

The youngest son, Shen Feng, has also achieved some success after three years of training in the military.

As the youngest daughter of the eldest branch of the Shen family, Shen Wan became the most honored lady in the entire Yanjing City.

During those three years, she stayed by Madam Ye's side, learning to manage the household and overseeing the family affairs of the Shen family.

To prevent her from being bullied in the future, Shen Ning specially arranged for someone to teach her horseback riding and archery.

He even taught the art of balancing things within the inner quarters.

Three years have passed, and the little girl who used to cry easily has grown into a graceful young woman.

He gradually developed a kind of resilience.

Whenever the noble ladies gathered, those who had bullied Shen Wan in the past would always surround her and say flattering things to her.

But Shen Wan had long understood this, and she was never arrogant because of it.

Every time the Princess of Huainan saw Shen Wan, and thought back to the time when she broke off the engagement, she felt a little regretful.

After breaking off his engagement with her, Xiao Ce, the heir of the Prince of Huainan, also broke off his engagement with the Lin family girl.

After breaking off two marriage proposals, word spread throughout Yanjing that the heir of the Prince of Huainan was cursed to bring misfortune to his wives.

As a result, the noble ladies of the capital were unwilling to marry him.

But every time he saw Shen Wan, he still felt a little resentful.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was prepared on a painted boat on Yun Gui Lake in the north of Yanjing City, and Shen Wan was invited to attend.

When she arrived at the painted boat on Yun Gui Lake with her maid, many noble ladies from the capital had already gathered on the boat.

The noble ladies enjoyed themselves immensely on the painted boat, admiring paintings, tasting chrysanthemums, and drinking flower tea.

As soon as Shen Wan boarded the painted boat, all the noble ladies who were enjoying tea and admiring flowers turned their attention to her.

The young girl has grown into a graceful young woman, dressed in a light green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which looks particularly lively in the breeze.

Yet, a hint of determination crept into those beautiful eyes.

"So it's Miss Wan."

A noblewoman spoke softly from the crowd.

Shen Wan led Liuli down to the second floor of the painted boat, intending to find a quiet place to enjoy tea and admire chrysanthemums.

Just as I sat down in a quiet corner, I saw a figure walking towards me.

"Miss, he is the heir of the Prince of Huainan," Liuli whispered.

"This prince of Huainan can't find a noble lady who is a good match for him, but now he's pestering our young lady."

Shen Wan put down her tea and snacks and looked at the handsome man who walked over.

"Third Miss Shen".

The Crown Prince of Huainan walked up to her and looked down at her.

Shen Wan looked at him calmly: "What is it, Your Highness? Please speak."

"I am already engaged to His Highness Prince Yi, so why is the Crown Prince so persistent?"

She paused, her tone calm:

"Is the young master now desperate, only thinking of going back to an old flame?"

The Crown Prince of Huainan was speechless for a moment when he saw the little girl speak so bluntly.

"No... I just saw you here and wanted to say hello."

Shen Wan sneered, "I'm perfectly fine, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about me."

"Your Highness should think about finding a decent marriage."

"Please, Your Highness, do not disturb me. I, Shen Wan, do not go back to what I have already given you."

Seemingly provoked by her words, the Crown Prince of Huainan's expression changed instantly, and he turned and left, suppressing his anger.

In another corner, a young man dressed in red watched the scene quietly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It's been three years, and the little girl has become quite tough."

The middle-aged man opposite him said, "Why didn't Your Highness tell her about your return to the capital this time?"

"That girl has been waiting for you for three whole years."

Su Linfeng put down his teacup with a half-smile.

"Here I am, young master!"

"I never expected that after three years, Xiao Ce, this persistent pest, still wouldn't let me get rid of him."

As the boy spoke, he slowly rose from his chair.

He looked at the middle-aged man opposite him: "I'm afraid I'll have to return to the border region later this time, since I'm going back to the capital."

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

As the sun set, Shen Wan finished enjoying the pastries, met the owner of the pleasure boat, and then disembarked with Liuli.

Just as I was about to head towards the north side of Yun Gui Lake, I suddenly heard a series of light footsteps behind me.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Shen Wan".

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Wan stopped in her tracks and froze on the spot.

She was somewhat incredulous.

She hadn't heard that voice in a long time; it had been three years ago.

Her body trembled slightly as she slowly turned her head, only to see a young man in red standing before her.

The boy was taller and bigger than he had been three years ago, and his roguish air was still there.

A pair of phoenix eyes looked at him with a smile, and his face was even more slender and handsome than it had been three years ago.

"Your Highness... Prince Yi."

Su Linfeng smiled and said, word by word:

"The three-year period has come to an end, and I have returned to fulfill my promise."

"Come... take back my jade pendant."

Shen Wan bit her lip tightly and nodded slowly.

She took the jade pendant out of her bosom and handed it to Su Linfeng.

"I have always carried this jade pendant with me, waiting for His Highness Prince Yi to come and collect it in person."

Su Linfeng slowly approached her, took the jade pendant, and looked at her current appearance, feeling somewhat speechless.

"Shen Wan, it's been three years, and you've changed a lot."

"She's not like that little girl who used to cry all the time anymore."

Shen Wan bit her lip and looked at him: "I heard that His Highness Prince Yi is now a junior general, accompanying my brother to recover the three prefectures of Yunzhou. He is truly remarkable."

"It's alright," Su Linfeng said casually.

"However, compared to General Huo, he is still somewhat inferior."

"Have you missed me these past three years?"

Shen Wan: "I..."

Su Linfeng smiled and said, "Fine, I know what you want."

-

Su Linfeng has served on the frontier for three years, achieving great military exploits, and is now a well-known young general in Yanjing City.

The wedding date with Shen Wan has also been set.

On the day of the wedding, the sound of string and wind instruments filled the front courtyard of the Shen family.

Shen Ning brought Jing'er to the Shen family in person to watch Shen Wan get ready.

As soon as Jing'er entered the room, she ran up to Shen Wan and called her "Auntie" in a clear, crisp voice.

Shen Wan held Jing'er on her lap and reached out to pat his round little head.

"Are you listening to your mother?"

Jing'er nodded: "I listened."

The little one looked at the things on the dressing table and reached out to grab them, but Shen Ning picked him up.

Shen Ning walked to Shen Wan's side and handed her a box.

"This is from your older sister."

Shen Wan opened it, glanced at it, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Sister, I can't bear to part with the Shen family."

Shen Ning asked, "Then Wan'er, are you willing to give up Prince Yi?"

"You waited for him for three whole years, and now that he's back, you should be happy."

Shen Wan nodded: "Mm."
