Chapter 95 Where can I put the face of the stepson of the Zhenbei King and the eldest son of the Wen family?

Wen Yueyin touched something soft.

To be precise, it is not only soft, but also wet, with a sticky touch.

Wen Yueyin laughed and said, "Could it be malt sugar?"

Xie Yanchen shook his head, "That's not right."

Wen Yueyin asked again: "Could it be a fruit cake?"

She pinched the thing out of curiosity, but heard it make a "quack" sound.

Wen Yueyin was stunned.

"You're so stupid." Xie Yanchen opened the box, "It's a toad."

Wen Yueyin looked at the toad in his hand.

The next moment, she suddenly let out a shrill scream, threw away the toad in horror, and jumped three feet high as if she had been electrocuted!

Countless toads jumped out of each red lacquer box.

The guests let out the same shrill screams, beating their chests and stamping their feet as they ran around, knocking over all the tables, chairs and benches!

Wen Xingluo is also afraid of toads.

Xie Guanlan subconsciously wanted to hug her, but Chen Lezhi was closer to Wen Xingluo and was always ready. When she saw him move out of the corner of her eye, she became even quicker and pulled Wen Xingluo into her arms, then picked her up sideways in a graceful and neat manner.

Xie Guanlan was silent.

A sneer appeared on his thin lips, and he put his hands behind his back without saying a word.

It seems he has to put pressure on King Hanzhong.

His daughter has nothing to do. Why does she run to other people's territory all day long?

Wen Xingluo stared at Chen Lezhi blankly.

They were all girls, but she just picked her up!

She praised: "Lezhi, you are really strong and powerful!"

Chen Lezhi grabbed Wen Xingluo and said proudly, "That's nothing! My brother can pick up the little girl with one hand! And Ningning, you are so light and soft, it's easy to pick you up!"

Light and soft body...

Xie Guanlan’s mind flashed through the two times he had held Wen Xingluo in his arms.

She is quite soft.

After the chaos was finally calmed down, the wedding procession finally returned with the bridal sedan.

Because Wen Qingsong was captured, Wen Rufeng and Xu Miaomiao had no parents to worship, so they had to ask Master He to take the seat of parent temporarily.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, the young girls went to the new house to accompany Xu Miaomiao.

When Wen Xingluo entered, he saw Xu Miaomiao sitting on a new bed covered with longan, peanuts and lotus seeds. Wen Qingsong's arrest obviously did not affect her mood. She looked at the dragon and phoenix wedding candles in the new house and smiled.

Just as he was watching, Wen Yueyin suddenly came in and eagerly grabbed Wen Xingluo's sleeve, "I heard that Daddy was thrown into jail?!"

Wen Xingluo said gently, "Yes, sister. Not only did he imprison mother, he also forced her to give birth to a child. That's why he was arrested. He may even lose his official position."

"How could this happen?!" Wen Yueyin couldn't believe it.

According to the process of the previous life, my father should have become the chief clerk of the county magistrate's office after the flood.

But now, not only did he fail to get promoted, he was also arrested!

She murmured, "How ridiculous! Since Mother married Father, she should have obediently given birth to children. Otherwise, what use is she? What's the difference between her and a hen that doesn't lay eggs? Ultimately, it was her own disobedience that led to her imprisonment. How can she blame Father?!"

"Sister, please be careful with your words." Wen Xingluo's face was slightly stern. "Even if a woman gets married, she still has the right to choose whether to have children or not. It is not entirely up to the man to make the decision."

Xu Miaomiao suddenly laughed.

She spoke in a resounding voice, "Wen Xingluo, I've often heard my husband and sister Yueyin say that you're selfish, barbaric, and ignorant. Seeing you today, I can see that it's true. In my opinion, the matter between my father-in-law and mother-in-law is a purely family matter. The coercion, the imprisonment, even the physical violence, is just a matter of marital interest. I really can't understand why you've taken it to the government, causing my father-in-law to lose his job for nothing! If children aren't united, how can we carry on the family's prosperity? If I were you, I'd quickly persuade your mother to write a letter of apology, forgiving my father-in-law!"

Wen Xingluo looked at her.

Xu Miaomiao dressed up beautifully today. She married into the Wen family with great fanfare. She thought she would become the mistress of the Wen residence, she thought she would be an official's wife, and she thought her future life would be as grand and lively as today.

Little did she know that marrying Wen Rufeng was the beginning of the tragedy in her life.

The girl's almond-shaped eyes were cold, but her voice remained gentle. "I hope that when my sister-in-law finds herself in the same situation as my mother, she can still say that this is 'the interest between husband and wife'."

Xu Miaomiao laughed in anger. She pointed at Wen Xingluo with her red nail polish-covered finger and said to Wen Yueyin, "Look at her, she's still here gossiping! Luckily I didn't prepare a red envelope for her, otherwise it would be like feeding an ungrateful person! I'm going to make a decision today as the eldest sister-in-law: From now on, Wen Xingluo is not allowed to come back to the Wen family!"

Wen Xingluo didn't care about her red envelope, and even less about returning to the Wen family.

She waited to see what would happen to Xu Miaomiao.

She slowly left the bridal chamber and went to find Chen Lezhi.

Passing by the yard, Wen Ruyun was looking through the gift account.

He curled his lips into a wicked smile and said to Wen Rufeng, "Although father has been arrested, we received over a thousand taels of silver in gifts today! The officials and gentry in Rongcheng are very generous. Big brother, we are rich!"

The first sentence of the invitation sent by Wen Rufeng pointed out his identity as the stepson of the King of Zhenbei. Therefore, many officials came to the wedding banquet for the sake of the King of Zhenbei and were very generous in their spending.

With the money, Wen Rufeng felt a little relieved and confident.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wen Xingluo passing by the corridor. He sternly ordered, "Xingluo, come here."

Wen Xingluo asked calmly, "What?"

"Although Father made mistakes, he is still our father. As a son, how can I watch him suffer in prison? I remember that you were the most filial to Father, so I will decide. You will go to Mother on our behalf and ask her to write a letter of forgiveness for Father."

Wen Xingluo said faintly, "I seem to have told Big Brother that you can't be my master."

Wen Rufeng's face turned pale, "You——"

Before he could say anything, there was a commotion in the yard.

The guests swarmed over and said sternly:

"Wen Rufeng, we gave you face and kindly came to your wedding, and this is how you treat us?! Plain noodles with pickles, who are you looking down on?!"

Xie Shian also came over and squatted under the locust tree with Chen Lezhi, each eating a bowl of noodles with relish.

He replied cheerfully, "Of course I look down on you!"

The guest angrily swung his sleeves, "I've never heard of such a way of treating guests in my life!"

Chen Lezhi was also very happy, "Now you know!"

Wen Rufeng was stunned. "What are these vegetarian noodles and pickles?"

An official with a bad temper flipped over a basin of bread on the spot, "What are these vegetarian noodles and pickles?! How dare you ask?! Don't you know that this is the wedding banquet you prepared?!"

Xie Shian shouted, "That's right, Wen Rufeng, don't you know about your own wedding banquet?"

Wen Rufeng stared blankly at the soup all over the floor.

No, how did his grand and dignified wedding banquet turn into a bowl of cheap noodles?

Chen Lezhi turned his head to the side, deliberately concealing his voice and pretending to be an ordinary guest, and shouted: "Return the gift money to us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests' eyes lit up.

Yeah, Wen Rufeng didn't even give them face, so why should they give such a huge gift money?!

Thinking of this, everyone rushed forward and snatched away all the gift money like whirlwind!

Wen Rufeng was pushed around, her wedding gown was wrinkled, and the big red flower on her chest fell to the ground.

After the guests scattered like birds and beasts, he slumped to the ground in a panic, tightly hugging the only remaining silver ingot, and wailing at the top of his lungs, "You are all robbers! You are all robbers! Is there any law left? You are committing a crime!"

He rubbed his red and swollen eyes, then suddenly glared at Wen Xingluo angrily, "I asked you to prepare a wedding banquet, but what did you prepare?! Do you know that all the people attending the wedding today are well-known figures in Rongcheng?! Where can I, the stepson of the Zhenbei King and the eldest son of the Wen family, put my face?!"
