Chapter 559: When you feel sleepy, here comes the pillow

This house is indeed bigger than the one owned by the Yingzhi Lin family.

The area is 80% larger and has a special garden, a waterside pavilion and an exquisite orchid pavilion.

Although the house is several decades old, it is well maintained.

The beams and rafters are all new.

The arrangement of flowers, plants and trees was not to her taste.

But these are all small things. After buying the house, you can just rearrange it.

"I want this house. Madam, please name a price."

The lady thought about it and decided not to ask for an exorbitant price. "We're all neighbors, so I won't play all that fancy tricks with you. Just take the market price and give me a round number of 20,000 taels of silver. How about that?"

It's a fair price.

"Deal. Did you bring the deed to Madam's house?" Wen Yan rummaged through his bag and quickly pulled out a large stack of banknotes.

He counted out 20,000 taels of silver notes and looked at his wife expectantly, hoping that the payment could be completed right away.

"Yes, yes. I'll send someone to get it now." The lady winked at the maid.

The maid took the order and left.

After a while, the house deed was brought.

Just as the two parties were about to exchange the money for the goods, they heard a burst of laughter from the courtyard gate: "Sister Lin, I heard that you wanted to sell the house, so I came here with enough cash..."

The visitor was Mrs. Zhou from the Censor's family at the end of the alley.

Mrs. Lin looked embarrassed: "Sorry, Sister Zhou, I have already agreed to sell the house to Mrs. Liu next door."

"Madam Liu?" Madam Zhou looked at Wen Yan. "Don't you already have a house to live in? Why are you fighting with me for it? Why don't you just give it to me first?"

Wen Yan looked puzzled: "Doesn't Madam Zhou have a house at home? Why do you want to buy one?"

Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands and said, "Hey, it's not what I want, it's for my younger brother..."

"Oh, I'm not buying it for myself either. My husband's younger brother is getting married in two years, so I have to buy the house in advance."

"You...you are deliberately imitating me!" Mrs. Zhou snorted angrily, and inadvertently glanced at the banknotes in Wen Yan's hand and the house deed in Mrs. Lin's hand.

"Businesses require payment and delivery. The banknotes and deeds are still in your hands, which shows that your deal isn't complete. So I still have a chance."

Madam Zhou looked at Madam Lin and said, "Sister Lin, you won't sell this house to someone else just because we've been friends for over twenty years, will you?"

Wen Yan opened her eyes wide. What’s going on? This Madam Zhou wants to steal the deal!

She was quick-witted and snatched the title deed from Mrs. Lin's hand and stuffed the banknotes in her hand into Mrs. Lin's hand.

Wen Yan waved the deed in front of Madam Zhou and said, "Look, now the payment is complete!"

Mrs. Zhou didn't know whether she was shocked or angry, her lips trembling: "You...you are cheating!"

Wen Yan stuck out her tongue at her: "All's fair in war!"

"Thank you, Madam Zhou, for your kindness. Madam Lin, once you've moved everything, just remember to come to my house and let me know."

Wen Yan waved at them.

Afraid that Mrs. Zhou would continue to pester her, she picked up her skirt and ran away.

Mrs. Zhou stamped her feet in anger.

When Yingzhi returned from Linxia Yamen, Wen Yan had already obtained the house deed with the owner changed at the Yamen.

When they were resting at night, Wen Yan showed him the house deed as if he were presenting a treasure.

"Several of my colleagues wanted that house, but I didn't expect that you would get it in the end." Ying Zhilin said in surprise as he looked at the title deed.

Then he looked at Wen Yan with admiration, as if she was the most powerful woman in the world.

Wen Yan pinched his face.

Ying Zhilin tilted his head and kissed her wrist.

Wen Yan took the opportunity to open his face: "I haven't finished my story yet."

"I won't shut you up. You say yours and I do mine." Ying Zhilin put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He bit her earlobe and his hot breath fell on her ear.

Wen Yan's fingertips were numb.

A bad man can always learn things by himself in this area.

"After the Lin family moves out and the yard next door is renovated, I'll move in next door."

Ying Zhilin was stunned.

He held Wen Yan's face, and they looked at each other: "Don't you like this yard? Why did you move next door?"

"My stepmother knew about our situation. She gave me a lecture, saying that you were the top scholar after all, and it was too unfair for you to follow me like this without knowing the reason. She asked me to remarry you."

Ying Zhilin's eyes lit up: "What does this have to do with you moving next door?"

As long as he can be with Wen Yan, he doesn't care about status.

"You know, I don't want to be tied down, it makes me feel uneasy.

I moved next door and it didn't affect anything.

You can come over anytime you want to see me."

Ying Zhilin curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.

Wen Yan felt a little guilty: "I know this will damage your reputation. After I move over, I will have people spread the news of the divorce so that you don't have to worry about it."

"Are you going to announce the news of our divorce?" Ying Zhilin asked blurt out.

"We were originally..."

Ying Zhilin suddenly let go of Wen Yan, turned around and lay down with his back to her.

He pulled the quilt over himself and snorted coldly.

Wen Yan originally wanted to coax him.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

She lay down in her spot, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Ying Zhilin waited and waited, but Wen Yan didn't try to coax him, so he turned over in anger and wanted to talk to Wen Yan about everything.

But all he saw was Wen Yan's sleeping face, accompanied by a slight snoring sound.

Ying Zhilin gritted his teeth.

What a heartless person.

I just said I liked him on the first day of the new year, and I wanted to break up with him in half a month.

Wen Yan is a heartless woman!

Ying Zhilin was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he could only kiss Wen Yan fiercely before lying down unwillingly.

After lying there for a while, he felt more and more upset, and only felt comfortable when he hugged Wen Yan tightly in his arms.

After that, Ying Zhilin started a unilateral cold war.

Wen Yan took the initiative to talk to him, but he turned his head away and snorted coldly.

Wen Yan ignored him, so he turned his head away and snorted coldly.

Wen Yan was so annoyed by him that she lost her temper.

Just ignore him.

After being sulking for two days, Ying Zhilin finally calmed himself down.

Life returned to normal.

Wen Yan was racking his brains, thinking of how to tie Huo Yaoxing and Gu Saisai to the same boat.

In their previous life, this pair of dogs caused the tragic death of mother and son in order to be together.

In this life, she also wants them to sink together.

Now Huo Yaoxing is at home mourning for his wife, and she can't take the initiative to visit him.

For a moment, she really didn't know where to start.

That day, Wen Yan met with Mrs. Sheng, tried a few new incenses, ordered some spices, and then went home.

Halfway through the journey, Yue Sheng suddenly said to Wen Yan, "Miss, we are being followed."

track?

Who could it be?

Huo Yaoxing?

Not likely.

He always comes to me directly when he has something to do.

Those are the three in the palace.

Is it Ji Xiangyun?

Or Lan Tingxue?

Or is it Gu Saisai?

But that doesn't matter.

These three people are bad in the same pot.

If there is any news, once one person knows it, the other two will know it.

Wen Yan smiled and said, "That's great. Someone brought me a pillow just when I was sleepy."
