Chapter 241: Brother and sister have an affair

However, Meng Xiyan herself has good conditions, with a smooth figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Coupled with the blessing of his status and background, he is definitely in the first tier of Dayong women choosing a husband.

Wen Yan simply evaded the question, "Meng Xiyan is a general leading troops in battle. How could I possibly know his whereabouts?"

"How could you not know? You and Xi Yan's sister are good friends. Wouldn't you know if you asked her sister?"

Wen Yan was amused by her self-righteousness: "Who are you to me? Why should I help you find out? How much money do you give me for running errands?"

Ying Ximei curled her lips in disdain.

So what if Wen Yan grew up in a family of officials?

What flows in his bones is still the Liu family's lowly and mercenary blood.

I just asked her for some information, but she asked me for money.

"How much do you want?" Ying Ximei pinched her purse.

She had only thirty cents on her.

At worst, I can just give her twenty cents.

Wen Yan's eyes rolled around, and his attitude changed again. He spread his hands in front of her and said, "Two hundred taels, and I'll help you find out."

"Why don't you go and rob it!" Ying Ximei screamed.

"Wen Yan, wait until I marry Brother Xi Yan, and I will be the general's wife. I will never forget your kindness. When the time comes, promoting Ying Zhilin and making you the wife of a senior official will be just a matter of a word from me."

"Puchi——" Wen Yan laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at!" Ying Ximei said angrily.

Wen Yan sneered: "There is no mirror in my house, can you take a piss and look at yourself?

Who is General Meng?

As the eldest son of the great general who guards the country, he is extremely talented and invincible on the battlefield.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next great general of the country.

He could only marry with the emperor's decree, and he would marry women of equal social status. Not only could he marry the daughters of dukes or earls, he could even marry princesses and princesses.

You are a girl from the countryside, what can you bring to him?"

Ying Ximei's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Wen Yan said.

Feeling extremely ashamed.

At the same time, when she heard that he was going to marry another noble woman, her heart felt as if a piece was being cut out, and it ached.

But she couldn't just give up like that!

Without much thought, she said bitterly, "Even if I can't be his wife, as long as he likes me, I can be his side wife, or even a concubine!"

As long as Brother Xiyan's heart is with me, as long as I become Brother Xiyan's favorite woman, even if I slip a little through my fingers, it will be enough for you to know that Lin Feihuang has risen to prominence. "

Wen Yan looked at Ying Ximei as if he was watching a monkey show from a circus troupe.

She held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred taels. As long as you give me two hundred taels, I will help you get news about Meng Xiyan."

"Two hundred is too expensive. Two hundred wen is about right."

“Tsk… The noble ladies and rich girls in the capital are lining up to see him.

Not to mention two hundred taels, even if I offered two thousand taels, there would be people rushing to get news about him.

Moreover, Meng Xiyan is a young general who is being trained by the Ministry of War and has a promising future.

His whereabouts were protected, and anyone who dared to inquire about them would be charged with treason.

I'm going to help you get some information, what a huge risk!

Two hundred taels is a drop in the bucket.”

I will give you two taels of silver at most.

Wen Yan sneered, "Sister Ying Xi, what the hell are you thinking about?

Inquiring about the whereabouts of officials from the Ministry of War would be considered treason and a crime against the country.

You want me to hang my head on your waist and work for you for two taels of silver?

Oh, that’s not right. Treason against the enemy will result in the execution of all nine generations of your family.

I'm risking the lives of everyone here."

Wen Yan glanced at her second aunt with a half-smile.

"You... stop trying to scare me here. I won't be fooled." Ying Ximei was obviously lacking in confidence.

"I'm trying to scare you? Why don't you go to the government office and ask how many people will die if they collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

Ying Ximei's face turned pale.

Even my second aunt Ying Qing, who was standing by, was frightened.

Wen Yan stretched out his hand towards Ying Ximei and said, "Since you and Ying Zhilin share the same blood, and because you were once Ying Zhilin's aunt, I'll give you twenty taels of silver. No less. As long as you give me twenty taels of silver, I will go and get the information for you."

Ying Ximei definitely cannot come up with two hundred taels of silver.

Twenty taels can still be squeezed in.

Second aunt was shocked.

She quickly pressed down Wen Yan's hand and said, "No, niece-in-law, this is a capital crime, you absolutely cannot do it."

Wen Yan patted Second Aunt's hand and soothed her, "Second Aunt, don't worry. Fortune and wealth are sought through risk. General Meng's sister is my friend, so I can easily get the news."

Is this woman crazy!

She went back to her parents' home to enjoy the good life with Ying Zhilin, not to be beheaded.

But Second Aunt was not happy at all.

Instead, I felt a chill on the back of my neck.

Ying Ximei gritted her teeth and finally said, "Okay, I'll barely make up the twenty taels for you."

Wen Yan snorted: "Then hurry up. If you keep dragging it out, I'll sell the news to someone else."

"Just wait for me." Ying Ximei turned around and ran away with excitement.

Instead, it was the second aunt who looked pale and absent-minded.

Wen Yan suppressed her laughter and closed the gate.

After all the strangers left, Wen Yan's yard returned to peace.

A low laugh immediately came from the study.

The laughter of Brother Chen Qi.

Wen Yan immediately glared back: "What are you laughing at?!"

"I'm laughing at you because you have a bad conscience." Ying Zhilin went to Jinyang Prefecture to provide disaster relief, and this was known to everyone in the capital.

Wen Yan wanted to charge twenty taels of silver.

That Ying Ximei was such a sucker.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help laughing.

Wen Yan showed him his fist: "Laugh at me again and I'll hit you!"

Brother Chen Qi was not afraid of her beating him, but laughed even more exaggeratedly.

Then, he was greeted by Wen Yan's fist.

Wen Yan did not use his full strength.

Brother Chen Qi screamed exaggeratedly: "Have mercy, please let me go, it hurts, it hurts!"

Across the wall, Mrs. Jiang blushed, slapped her thigh, and yelled at Grandma Wu: "Oh my god, this is immoral, absolutely immoral!

Sister, don’t you want to do anything about it?

In broad daylight, the brother and sister were flirting and having an affair in the room. Although she is not your biological daughter, she is nominally your granddaughter-in-law!

Flirting with a wild man in the house in broad daylight, let alone your Ying family, even our Jiang family would be embarrassed to have a relative like you."

Grandma Wu was so angry that her chest was heaving.

His cloudy eyes seemed to have regained focus as he glared fiercely in the direction of Old Lady Jiang: "My granddaughter-in-law is upright and honest, so what's wrong with her joking with her brother?

Don't spread rumors about her, or I'll never forgive you.

My small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you, so why don’t you leave now.”

Mrs. Jiang was choked and her expression changed immediately. Her voice became sharp and piercing: "Old sister, are you trying to drive me away?"
