Chapter 450: Why not prepare in advance?

Ji Xiangyun frowned. "Why haven't I seen the number one scholar yet? Didn't you send him the invitation as I asked?"

Miss Sun from the Lan family quickly said, "Your Highness, we will do everything according to your request.

As for why he didn’t show up, we don’t know either.”

"Go and find her for me quickly! The Lan Mansion is so big, can't it even handle such a small matter?" She wanted Ying Zhilin to see with his own eyes how his wife was being abused.

She just didn't believe that even though Wen Yan was so dirty and had no use at all, and would even hold him back and bring him ridicule and abuse, he could still insist on not divorcing her and abandoning her!

At Wen Yan's seat.

A maid came to pour tea for Wen Yan.

Suddenly.

The maid's hands trembled.

The tea poured on Wen Yan's clothes.

The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It's just that my clothes are a little wet, it's no big deal." Wen Yan waved his hand generously.

But he sneered in his heart.

The highlight is finally here.

The maidservant was terrified and said, "Miss, please follow me. I will take you to change your clothes."

"Thank you!" Wen Yan stood up.

The maid led her to the backyard.

Pearl followed closely behind.

The two of them walked through a corridor.

Pei'er, who was following behind, was suddenly bumped by someone.

When Pei'er steadied herself, she found that Wen Yan was gone.

She panicked and caught the person who bumped into her and asked, "Where is my daughter? Have you seen my daughter? Where did she go?"

"Oh, I saw her walking this way." The person who bumped into her led Pearl to another path.

The master and servant walked in different directions, getting farther and farther away.

**

Hanlin Academy.

Ying Zhilin found another cookbook.

He came across an interesting dish and was about to memorize it so that he could make it for Wen Yan to try in the evening.

suddenly.

His heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and he felt panicky.

The image of Wen Yan smiling at him when they parted in the morning flashed through his mind.

like……

It seems like something happened to Wen Yan!

"Brother Ying, what's wrong with you?" a colleague asked with concern.

Ying Zhilin pushed his colleague's hand away and staggered to his feet. "Please ask for leave from my superiors for me. I have something important to attend to and need to go home."

After saying this, he stumbled out of the Hanlin Academy.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, he rushed all the way to the "Qingfeng Xiaolou".

The maid guarding the door saw that he looked unhappy and hurried forward to ask, "Sir, why are you here?"

Ying Zhilin asked, "Where is your boss? Where is she now?"

The gatekeepers only took care of things at the door and had no idea where Wen Yan was.

Ying Zhilin said anxiously: "Go find Aunt Shuang and ask her to come see me immediately."

"Okay, we'll go right away, don't worry." Seeing that he was so anxious, the old woman trotted in to find someone.

After a while.

Aunt Shuang came out.

"Sir, you are so anxious to find me, what's the matter?"

"Where's Yanyan? Where is she? Did something happen to her?"

Ying Zhilin covered his chest, feeling more and more uncomfortable there.

"The young lady went to the Lan Mansion for a banquet today."

"Lan Mansion?" Ying Zhilin couldn't believe it. "Why didn't she tell me that she was going to the Lan Mansion too?"

He discussed this matter with her last night, and she had clearly received the invitation, but she didn't mention it at all.

She still didn't believe herself. Ying Zhilin felt a pain in her heart and even breathing became difficult.

"Bring me a horse, I will go to her."

"Okay... Sister Li, go get the best horse in the stable for your son-in-law. Forget it, I'll go myself." Aunt Shuang turned around and went to the stable in the side yard.

When it comes to the young lady's safety, I'd rather kill the innocent than let him go.

After a while, Aunt Shuang brought the horses.

Ying Zhilin mounted his horse and headed straight for Lan's house.

Wen Yan was led into a room by her maid.

The maid said, "Miss Liu, your clothes are on the couch in the room. I won't disturb you from changing." After that, she closed the door.

"Hey...won't you help me change clothes?" Wen Yan asked.

She wrinkled her nose and sniffed; the incense in the room smelled wrong.

It seems that a large amount of joy incense is mixed into other incense.

If she didn't know how to make perfume, she wouldn't be able to smell it.

She took out a wet handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

The only response she received was the sound of the door closing.

"Hey, is this how you treat guests?

How can you let a guest change clothes alone in a room?" Wen Yan angrily shook the door.

A maid's disdainful snort came from outside the door.

Wen Yan cursed a few more times, then turned and walked towards the incense burner on the table.

She wanted to find water to put out the incense burner, but the teapot was spotless, without a drop of water.

She had no choice but to carry the incense burner and walk towards the back window, ready to throw it out.

Before she opened the window, a click sound came from behind it.

Then the window opened and Pearl was standing outside.

"Miss, they deliberately tricked me away." Pei'er complained in a low voice as soon as she saw Wen Yan, "I pretended to be obedient, and when they locked me up in the house, I found a chance to sneak back to find you."

Wen Yan was puzzled: "We should be in different directions. How did you find it so quickly?"

"Well, I memorized the way on purpose." Pei'er touched her nose and didn't dare to look Wen Yan in the eye out of guilt.

"Is there water outside?" Wen Yan asked.

"There's a jar at the base of the wall, and it has water in it."

Wen Yan handed her the incense burner: "Throw it in. Be careful not to inhale its smoke."

"Okay." Pei'er pinched her nose with one hand and threw the incense burner into the water tank with the other.

Only then did Wen Yan dare to let go of the handkerchief and feed herself a handful of pills.

The Lan family came with ill intentions.

How could Wen Yan not prepare in advance?

She went to Tonghetang specifically and asked Dr. Lin to buy a lot of detoxification pills.

The wet towel was also wet with tea before she came.

However, a feeling of restlessness still rose in her body, but fortunately she could still hold it back.

It must be because I stayed in the closed room for too long and inhaled too much incense.

Pearl climbed into the house through the window and closed it carefully.

Wen Yan asked, "What's the situation now?"

Pei'er whispered: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is in the next room.

Miss, what shall we do next?"

Wen Yan walked around the room.

Finally, he took a tea bowl, pressed it against the wall, and eavesdropped on the movements in the next room.

Pearl followed suit.

After a while, I heard voices coming from next door.

"What's going on over there?" Ji Xiangyun asked.

"Don't worry, cousin. They've already gotten into the room. The incense in the room was very overbearing, and she drank the special tea, which doubled the effect.

Don't worry, in a quarter of an hour she'll be lying on the ground, pining for a man."

"Is the man ready for her?"

"Don't worry, cousin, I've already made all the arrangements. As soon as there's any noise coming from the next room, the people downstairs will immediately send someone in.

You don't need to worry about these little things."
