Chapter 110 The Past

Return it to him? It turned out that he had been waiting for Lian Fangyu.

After hearing what Zhao Qing said, Lian Fangyu's tears, which had stopped flowing, immediately flowed again.

"Zhao Qing, get up!" Lian Fangyu bent down to help Zhao Qing up, then glanced at Wen Yingxue. She wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wen Yingxue.

Wen Yingxue frowned and said, "Mom, you're meeting old friends today, so I think you have a lot to say. You guys can chat, and Chu Bai and I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he nodded to Zhao Qing, grabbed Nie Chubai, and turned to leave.

"What? You don't agree?" Nie Chubai asked.

Wen Yingxue shook her head. Not to mention that she was not the real Wen Yingxue at all and did not stop Lian Fangyu from pursuing happiness, even if she was, she could not separate the two lovers.

"I just haven't believed Zhao Qing yet. What if his motives are not pure and my mother has been deceived? I should let someone investigate him first. If things are really as he said, then I won't interfere in their affairs."

They were originally a pair of lovers, although they were separated by fate. Now that they can rekindle their love, she can only be happy for Lian Fangyu.

Nie Chubai smiled, held Wen Yingxue's hand, and asked, "Okay, then where are we going next? Do you want to eat something delicious? I heard that the lotus leaf glutinous rice ribs and pork elbow at Zuixianlou are both delicious. Do you want to try them?"

Wen Yingxue: "Really? Then I must try it."

The two of them walked downstairs chatting and laughing. Just as they reached the corner, Wen Yingxue stopped.

Nie Chubai was confused, so he followed Wen Yingxue's gaze and saw Ai Ye sewing Wu Nan's torn sleeve downstairs.

Wu Nan's eyes seemed to be growing on Ai Ye's face.

Ji Yan rolled his eyes and stayed away from them.

"Nie Chubai, your Wu Nan wants to kidnap my little Ai Ye!" Seeing this scene, Wen Yingxue had nothing to understand. She turned her head and looked at Nie Chubai very unhappily.

Wen Yingxue felt a pang of sadness in her heart. It was as if the eighteen-year-old girl she had raised was about to be married off. She felt extremely angry and uncomfortable.

Nie Chubai smiled and said, "I don't think it's bad. Look at Ai Ye's expression. It's obvious that she is willing to be kidnapped by Wu Nan."

Wen Yingxue snorted. She was not blind. Looking at Ai Ye's amorous look, she must have fallen in love with Wu Nan.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Wen Yingxue was still very happy for Ai Ye because she saw that she had someone she liked.

"Ai Ye! Wu Nan, what are you two doing?" Wen Yingxue asked loudly on purpose.

Ai Ye had already finished her last stitch and was biting the thread. Frightened by Wen Yingxue's voice, her legs gave way and she nearly fell, only to be caught by Wu Nan around the waist.

"Miss! Why are you shouting so loudly? You scared me." Ai Ye embarrassedly withdrew from Wu Nan's arms and said coquettishly.

Wen Yingxue puffed out her cheeks, looked at the small leaf on Wu Nan's sleeve, and said sourly, "How come I didn't know you had this skill? You've never sewn clothes for me."

Ai Ye blushed and said, "I just learned this a few days ago. Miss, when your clothes are torn, they are usually thrown away directly. Why would you ask me to mend them?"

"Okay! You dare to refute what I said before you even get married. What will happen if you marry Wu Nan?" Wen Yingxue said teasingly.

Ai Ye's face immediately turned red.

Wu Nan was delighted and knelt on the ground to pay his respects. "Thank you, Madam, for your help. Since Madam has said so, Wu Nan will take it as your consent to give me the mugwort leaves."

Wen Yingxue waved her hand to let Wu Nan get up, and complained in her heart, this kid looked quite stupid before, how come he reacted so quickly now?

"How can I not agree? The girl is grown up and can't stay. If we keep her, we will just become enemies. When you two decide to get married, tell me and I will give you two a good wedding." Wen Yingxue said with a smile.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you, Miss."

Ji Yan looked at Wu Nan, who was grinning foolishly, and smiled as well. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations!"

Wu Nan bared his big white teeth at him.

Nie Chubai crossed his arms and said, "Everyone in the pavilion will come to your wedding banquet, so be prepared to spend a lot of money!"

Wu Nan smiled proudly and said, "Come on!"

"Since you are so generous, I'll give you a day off today and have some fun with Ai Ye." Nie Chubai smiled, then took Wen Yingxue's hand and walked away with Ji Yan.

The Zuixianlou's signature dish was indeed delicious. Wen Yingxue ate a large portion and even ordered another portion to take home. Lian Fangyu probably didn't have an appetite today, so she decided to take some home for her to try.

As expected, Lian Fangyu hadn't eaten yet. Wen Yingxue carried the lunch box and went to Lian Fangyu's yard alone.

"Xue'er, are you angry? Don't take what Zhao Qing said today to heart. I won't, I..." Lian Fangyu stood up nervously to explain when she saw Wen Yingxue.

Wen Yingxue patted Lian Fangyu's hand and said, "Mom, don't be anxious, talk slowly." Then she helped Lian Fangyu sit down.

"I'm not angry today. I just don't believe what Zhao Qing said. You are living in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion now. What if he lies to you? I just want to investigate him." Wen Yingxue explained.

Lian Fangyu hurriedly said, "Daqing won't do that. He's the most honest person. He's stubborn and stubborn. He doesn't lie."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I'm just taking precautions. If Zhao Qing is really as you said, then I can return you to him without any worries." Wen Yingxue said seriously.

Lian Fangyu stopped talking, her face a little red: "You, do you really agree with the two of us?"

Wen Yingxue nodded: "I agree. You are only 32 years old this year, and you have a long life ahead of you. Although I am your daughter, it is impossible for me to accompany you all the time.

Besides, haven't you always been thinking about Uncle Zhao Qing?"

Lian Fangyu had a big box with many shoes and sachets in it.

Wen Yingxue always thought that she made them as gifts for Wen Ze. Now that she thinks about it, she made so many shoes but didn't give any of them away. It seems that they were made for Zhao Qing.

"We knew each other when we were five years old. When we were seven or eight, we were both sold to a landlord as servants. Later, I was taken back by my father, and he also wanted to return his indentureship and followed me back.

He is honest, content and hardworking, so he has learned a lot of skills to make money.

A few days after I returned home, he came to propose marriage to my father and offered a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.

But before we could get married, my father passed away, and before I was even through with the mourning period, my eldest brother sold me to the Wen family.

You're right, I've always thought about him."

Lian Fangyu told Wen Yingxue the story of her and Zhao Qing.

After hearing this, Wen Yingxue felt a pang of sadness. The ancient times were truly not a place for human beings to stay.

If she were to be reborn as a peasant girl, who knows nothing, she would have been sold countless times by now.

"Mom, if he's not lying, I don't mind having another father." Wen Yingxue said.
