Chapter 13 Curious

At this time, Wen Rugui had already gone to court. Wen Rusheng came to find out the location of the yamen from the servants and ran over to wait.

When Wen Rugui returned to the yamen, he heard from his subordinates that his cousin was looking for him.

Wen Rugui is a person who cares about face. He does not take Wen Rusheng seriously, but he cherishes his reputation in his hometown and does not want to be accused of despising his poor family.

"Myna, do you have something urgent to talk to me about?" Wen Rugui asked in a friendly tone.

Wen Rusheng glanced around and hesitated to speak.

Wen Rugui frowned.

Judging from my cousin’s pale face and his unwillingness to speak in front of others, it must be a serious matter.

He sent the others away and said softly, "There are no outsiders here now. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

Wen Rusheng glanced at the door and asked worriedly, "Was anyone there to hear?"

"Don't worry, mynah brother, it won't happen."

Wen Rusheng finally felt relieved and said in a low voice, "Tenth brother, your little daughter is a monster!"

"What?" Wen Rugui thought he had heard wrongly.

"I say...your little daughter is a man-eating monster!"

Wen Rugui was sure he had heard correctly, and his face darkened immediately: "Myna, are you still asleep?"

"I didn't sleep at all last night!" Seeing Wen Rugui's disbelief, Wen Rusheng became anxious and gestured, "I saw it with my own eyes. Your little daughter sucked her fingers, human fingers!"

Wen Rugui's face turned even worse: "If you feel unwell, I'll take you to see a doctor, but don't say anything careless."

Wen Rusheng stood up suddenly, his face flushed with anxiety: "Tenth brother, I really didn't lie to you, I saw it in the garden when I came back last night!"

"What is mynah bird doing in the garden so late at night?" Wen Rugui said in a cold tone, and it was obvious that Wen Rusheng's words made him very annoyed.

"I came back from drinking to see Feng'er in the evening and saw a shadow passing through his room. But there was no one in his room. I was worried and went out to look for him. As a result, I saw your little daughter eating someone's finger in the garden——"

Wen Rugui couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table: "My brother, you are obviously drunk and dizzy, and now you are talking nonsense."

"Tenth brother, why don't you believe it?" Wen Rusheng was almost crying.

He didn't dare to confront the monster, but his tenth brother was the monster's father, so he thought he could subdue her, right?

"What should I believe? Do you believe that the daughter of a minister like me is a man-eating monster?" Wen Rugui's face turned pale, and he no longer cared about maintaining a gentle mask.

Don’t say such ridiculous things. Even if it is true, you can’t let others know!

At this time, Wen Rugui was extremely fed up with this cousin.

After all, he was a man who had spent most of his life in a remote place, yet he learned to believe in gods and ghosts like an ignorant woman.

Believing these things has nothing to do with him, but he can't tolerate it when they are brought to his head.

"I swear I'm not dazzled, or I'll be struck by lightning!"

Seeing him swear so confidently, Wen Rugui was angry and a little disgusted. He said calmly: "It just so happens that I don't have much to do, so I'll go back with Big Brother to take a look."

Wen Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The two rushed back to the Wen Mansion, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a young man walking towards the mansion with a servant.

The young man saw the two and bowed, "Dad, Tenth Uncle."

Wen Rugui frowned and glanced at Wen Rusheng.

Wen Rusheng was shocked and pointed at the young man and asked, "Feng'er, are you okay?"

Wen Feng looked ashamed: "My son didn't come home last night, I made you worry."

"Where have you been?" Wen Rusheng was so surprised that he completely forgot that he was outside the gate and asked loudly.

"son--"

Wen Rugui interrupted Wen Feng calmly: "My dear brother, if you have anything to ask Feng'er, go back to the mansion and ask. The government office can't be empty all the time. I'm going back first."

"Tenth brother, tenth brother——"

Seeing Wen Rugui getting on the carriage without even looking back, Wen Feng looked puzzled: "Dad, what happened to Uncle Ten?"

In his impression, Uncle Shi is a very kind person.

"Where did you go last night?" Wen Rusheng was angry.

Wen Feng hurriedly pulled Wen Rusheng inside: "Dad, let's go inside and talk."

The father and son entered the house and after a few steps they saw Lin and her two daughters coming towards them.

Wen Rusheng suddenly stopped and his eyes fell uncontrollably on Wen Hao's face.

Wen Hao pursed his lips and smiled.

Wen Rusheng shuddered and quickly looked away.

"Myna and Feng'er went out together." Lin greeted them with a smile.

Lin was a very simple person. In her opinion, this was her husband's cousin. No matter whether he was rich or poor, she had to treat him well since he had come and not let him suffer any injustice.

Wen Rusheng couldn't help but glance at Wen Hao, but he didn't dare to because it would be seen as a wink in Lin's eyes.

Lin's face showed concern: "My dear, your eye seems to be cramping. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"

"No need, no need." Wen Rusheng hurriedly declined and almost ran back to his residence.

"Dad, you look a little strange today. Did something happen to you?"

Wen Rusheng's face darkened: "Why didn't you come back last night?"

"My son drank with his friends and accidentally drank too much, so his friends invited me to stay overnight."

"Then why don't you send the servant back to deliver a message?"

Wen Feng glanced at the nervous servant and said, "Tingfeng, please stay and take care of me. Otherwise, I would have to trouble my friend's servants. How embarrassing."

"Feng'er, don't make friends with bad people—"

"He is the son of the Shangshu Mansion."

"That's good, that's good. But last night—"

"What happened last night?"

"Nothing..." Wen Rusheng swallowed what he wanted to say.

Is it really that he is dazzled?

In a spacious and luxurious carriage, Mrs. Lin opened a drawer fixed to the wall of the carriage, revealing a box full of preserved fruits, and invited her two daughters to eat.

Wen Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, it won't take more than a quarter of an hour to get to my grandparents' house."

"You can't eat it when you get to your grandmother's house." Lin picked up a candied date and put it in her mouth. "The doctor said that your grandmother is old and should eat less sweets. But your grandmother can't control her appetite..."

Listening to their mother talking about their grandmother, Wen Hao and Wen Chan looked at each other with mixed feelings.

Such peaceful and carefree days will soon be broken.

Wen Hao had just eaten the third plum when they arrived at the general's residence.

The mother, daughter and three others got off the carriage one after another. Wen Chan and Wen Hao hugged Lin on the left and right and walked inside.

Lin suddenly stopped and pointed in the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion, wondering, "I wonder what kind of distinguished guest that old man is. Prince Jing's Mansion actually opened its doors."

Wen Hao looked over and felt confused.

In her previous life, her mother took her and her elder sister back to her maternal grandparents' home, and they did not encounter any distinguished guests coming to Prince Jing's Mansion.

The accident that happened to her grandmother and mother was just around the corner, and she had recalled over and over again what had happened during this period.

"Fang Fei, go find out who has come to Prince Jing's mansion."

After hearing Lin's instructions, Wen Chan's mouth twitched slightly: "Mom, there's no need to ask."

Can my mother change her gossiping habit?

"It's easy to find out, and it saves me from being curious all the time."

Wen Chan looked at Wen Hao helplessly.

Wen Hao smiled and said, "I'm a little curious too."
