Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 369: Little thing, I found you

The folding fan suddenly lifted Wen Yan's wrist, and as the sleeve slid down, her slender wrist was exposed.

She wore a white jade bracelet on her wrist, which made her skin look more delicate than snow.

The man's eyes fell on the bracelet.

"you……"

Holding a folding fan in the middle of winter is really quite impressive.

Wen Yan slapped open the folding fan with his backhand: "Sir, please respect yourself."

The man looked at Wen Yan and raised his eyebrows: "You are quite angry."

He had a gentle smile on his face, but the arrogance of a superior could not be concealed in his every move.

"No one can keep a good temper when they meet a frivolous person." Wen Yan glared at him with anger in her eyes.

Wen Yan asked Su He, "Do you know this person's background?"

Su He whispered back, "His name is Xie Congyi, and he's from Cangzhou. It's said he comes from a prestigious family, is exceptionally learned, and was the top scorer in the Southeast Prefecture."

No wonder even his hair reveals arrogance.

This little conflict caused many customers in the store to look over here.

There were also scholars who spoke up for Wen Yan: "Sir, your behavior is indeed beyond the bounds for a woman."

Xie Congyi glanced at the scholar, and seeing that half of the people in the store looked at him unkindly, he suddenly burst out laughing: "I think you have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to offend. My little one at home..."

He pointed at Wen Yan's wrist with his folding fan, forcibly changing "concubine" to "little sister," and continued, "Little sister really likes white jade objects. I just caught a glimpse of the beautiful white jade bracelet on your wrist and wanted to ask you where you bought it. But you wanted to leave, so I lost my composure in my haste. I hope you will forgive my disrespect."

It was clear that the arrogance of the Celestial Dragons was written all over his body, but he acted like a well-educated, courteous person.

Wen Yan had seen many people like this who were good at putting on a show in her previous life. She saw through them at a glance and found them hypocritical, artificial and disgusting.

Others can't see it.

All the malice I had towards him just now turned into apology.

Xie Congyi looked at Wen Yan, the flesh on his handsome face twitched, and his smile became more humble: "I am sorry for being rude, and I apologize to the young lady here." As he said that, he took out a ten-liang silver ingot and placed it on the counter.

"What do you mean?"

"Any more apologies would seem empty. These ten taels of silver will be my apology."

If Wen Yan continued to hold on to it, she would appear narrow-minded: "Behavior in a hurry is understandable. Since it was an unintentional mistake, I will not pursue it this time.

However, this young man still needs to change his bad habit of acting in a hurry.

Otherwise, if you meet someone who knows Kung Fu, you might end up with broken arms and legs.”

"Thank you very much for the money." Wen Yan picked up the silver and handed it to Su He, "Use it to buy some meat buns and share them with everyone at noon."

"Okay, miss." Su Hehuan responded quickly and said to the other guests, "Everyone, don't leave at noon. Everyone who listens will get a share!"

The other guests also cheered, saying, "Boss Liu is so generous!"

Xie Congyi's brow twitched. She really was: taking his money and doing her own good deeds.

She is really a scheming woman.

The man's brow twitched suddenly, and he forced a smile: "So, girl, can you tell me? Where did you buy this bracelet?"

This white jade bracelet was the one Ning Tan gave to her.

Wen Yan's beautiful eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Half a month ago, I passed by Xuanruo Temple and helped a group of people with a small favor. They gave it to me."

"This bracelet is very valuable. I guess it's not just a small favor." The man's brows were relaxed, and the scrutiny in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Wen Yan played dumb: "Maybe. So, if you want to know where the bracelet came from, I don't know either."

Wen Yan nodded to everyone and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Miss, I'm going out to order some buns. Let's go together." Su He turned to a scholar, a regular customer, and said, "Please keep an eye on the shop for me. I'll be back soon."

Su He ran away after Wen Yan.

Xie Congyi narrowed his eyes slightly and followed.

After Wen Yan left Yidian Mo, he went straight to the north city gate.

She entered a teahouse on the street, told the waiter the name of a private room, and was led into the private room on the second floor.

As soon as she entered the private room, she saw a woman wearing a veil standing by the window.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman turned around and called out affectionately, "Sister Yanyan, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a while."

"Sister Ning Tan." Wen Yan trotted over and held her hand.

Xie Congyi followed her to the door of the private room and heard Wen Yan calling out, "Sister Ning Tan."

Xie Congyi's lips curled up into a determined smile: "Little thing, I finally found you! You're really good at hiding. It turns out you've escaped back to the capital."

He winked at the servant beside him.

The servant turned around and pushed open the door of the private room next door.

"Hey, don't..." Seeing this, the waiter hurried forward to stop him: "This private room has been taken..."

Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open by the servant.

The guest in the private room was startled and stood up, shouting, "Who are you? This is my private room. Who let you in? Shopkeeper, shopkeeper..."

The man yelled at the top of his lungs.

The servant took out a banknote and threw it in the man's face: "Stop shouting, take the banknote and get out of here."

The man unfolded the banknote and saw the number on it, his eyes suddenly widened.

Without a second's hesitation, he led his men and quickly left the private room.

Xie Congyi walked into the private room, and the servant told the waiter, "Go and prepare a pot of good spring water."

The waiter has seen all kinds of playboys in a place like the capital.

Although these two people are unfamiliar, their arrogant and proud attitude shows that his family background is not simple.

I'm afraid he doesn't even take the ordinary dignitaries in the capital seriously.

The waiter nodded repeatedly and ran off to prepare it.

Wen Yan’s private room next door.

Wen Yan looked at Ning Tan and sat down holding his hand, talking affectionately for a long time.

Then they got down to business.

Wen Yan asked, "Sister Ning Tan, how are things going between you and the Qian family?"

"It has been settled privately. The two families have signed the divorce papers and have also put forward the marriage proposal.

From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Qian family."

"That's great!" Wen Yan was overjoyed, but she was also curious. "That Second Madam thought of hiring someone to kill someone, which shows how vicious she is. The Qian family is so calculating, they won't let go easily. You must have paid a huge price!"

"The Qian family was naturally unwilling at first." Thinking of that negotiation, Ning Tan couldn't help but touch his cheek.

But as soon as she touched the veil of the veil, she forced herself to stop.

A feeling of anger and hatred spread in her heart.
