After Wen Qiheng ran out, he didn't rush back to the manor until evening. As soon as he entered the gate, he was stopped by the steward who was waiting nearby:
"Young Master, Master and Madam are waiting for you in the flower hall."
The butler gave Wen Qiheng a meaningful look, and then said.
Why were you waiting for me?
Wen Qiheng looked completely bewildered.
"When you ran out this morning, there was a girl left in your study. She claimed to be your sweetheart and even took out the tokens of your love. So, young master, you should go and take a look!"
The butler was speechless. He never expected that the young master, who was always polite and self-disciplined, would do such a thing.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiheng's alarm bells went off immediately. Yes, when he left, that woman was still there.
Now they were even framing him! He was instantly filled with rage and rushed towards the flower hall.
As soon as I entered, I heard the woman making up stories about how she met him in Shangyang City.
He said they had gone boating on the lake and that he had taken her to Qiyao Mountain.
He said he had even vowed to marry her.
Wen Qiheng grew increasingly angry as he listened, so he went in and grabbed Jun Xiaoqiao, questioning her:
"Where did you come from, you vixen? Stop spouting nonsense."
"Uncle and Aunt, look at him. He has truly betrayed me. He made all the promises in Shangyang City, but now that he has a fiancée, he's denying it to the death. The tokens are in your hands. Do you think I, a weak woman, am going to try to trick you into marriage?"
Seeing Wen Qiheng's angry face, Jun Xiaoqiao wiped away her tears and cried them out. After she finished, she looked at Wen Qiheng with a heartbroken expression.
"Heng'er, how could you do this? Although this girl comes from a merchant family, we can all see her feelings for you. You've studied and received an education for so many years, how could you do such a thing?"
When Wen's mother saw Jun Xiaoqiao crying so hard, she couldn't help but scold Wen Qiheng. In her eyes, this girl was beautiful and had a lovely face. More importantly, she was sincere to her son and was much better than that Liu family girl.
So he started cursing without even knowing the facts.
"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense. I've only met this girl twice. How could we have such a deep friendship?"
Wen Qiheng stared wide-eyed at his always critical mother, unable to believe it at all.
"I think you'd better stop lying, brother. I saw it during the day. You two were kissing passionately in the study. If I hadn't called you 'brother,' who knows what you two might have done?"
“Oh, my sister-in-law said that you have already had an affair with her, and she is now yours. Brother, why won’t you admit it? You used to teach me that a person should be responsible, so why is it that you have no sense of responsibility?”
Wen Qiyu added insult to injury from the side. He used to be always disciplined by this older brother, but today he was finally able to turn the tables.
"I was framed by her! I didn't do anything, how could she have lost her virginity to me?"
Wen Qiheng stared in shock at the woman who was still holding his hand.
He ran away for half a day. What nonsense did this woman make up? She's willing to throw away her reputation like this?
“I think my elder brother is just making excuses. Father and Mother, look, he even gave his own personal jade pendant to his sister-in-law, and he still won’t admit it? I think we should call for family discipline.”
Wen Qiyu was quite adept at delivering a finishing blow. Back when he was forced into marriage, his older brother hadn't offered a single helping hand. He was determined to get revenge.
"Get out of here. We haven't even disciplined you yet, and we haven't settled accounts for your elopement. You're already showing off."
Minister Wen disliked Wen Qiyu from the start, so he reprimanded him without any politeness.
"Alright, I'll shut up. Now even your most favored son is running away from his marriage. There's an order of seniority. If you're going to punish someone, punish him first."
Wen Qiyu pursed her lips and continued applying eye drops.
"Now that the token has been given and she is yours, the Wen family naturally has to take responsibility. The wedding will be in three days, on the same day as that girl from the Liu family. Don't cause any more trouble for me. The Wen family can't afford to lose face."
Minister Wen ignored Wen Qingyu and made a direct conclusion: the marriage must go through.
Regardless of any grudges between Wen Qiheng and this girl, the Wen family must save face, and Jun Xiaoqiao is their opportunity.
Wen Qiheng: "..."
Wen Qiheng looked at his father's eyes and fell silent!
His father is holding a grudge against the Liu family, so anything he says now is pointless.
"Now that the marriage has been arranged, Wenlang, let's have dinner with Father and Mother. Mother just told me that she wanted you to come back so we could have dinner together."
Jun Xiaoqiao was very satisfied with the result. From meeting to getting married, it only took three days. Hmm, not bad at all.
She was very satisfied with the efficiency. In her eyes, if she wanted something or someone, she had to grab it quickly, otherwise what if someone else snatched it away if she was a step too late?
Wen Qiheng took several deep breaths, glanced coldly at Jun Xiaoqiao's hand that was holding his, and then ruthlessly shook it off.
He suppressed his anger and followed Minister Wen and his mother to the dining hall.
Just before entering, he saw Wen Qiyu's gloating look and immediately glared at him, as if to say that he was determined to settle accounts with him.
Wen Qiyu was already used to his brother's gaze, so he acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Jun Xiaoqiao didn't care about the man's arrogance. She naturally followed him in and sat down next to Wen Qiheng.
"My lord, don't be angry. From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly. Although I am a merchant, I still have proper etiquette. I will make sure you are satisfied."
Seeing that Wen Qiheng was still angry, Jun Xiaoqiao gently coaxed him. In her previous life, she had been a rich, beautiful, and talented woman since childhood, and she could recite such aristocratic etiquette with her eyes closed.
In the future, she will not only conquer the man in front of her, but also this family, especially that Wen mother, so today is the best time for her to make a good impression.
After saying those flattering words, she diligently served food to Wen Qiheng.
Seeing how gently she took care of her son, Madam Wen was overjoyed. The young lady from the Liu family had also visited the Wen residence before, but she always acted high and mighty. It seemed that it was best to call off this engagement.
This girl might truly be a destiny for the Wen family.
After Wen Qiheng learned what his father was planning, he didn't want to say a word. Since he was going to marry her anyway, why not?
So he wrinkled his nose at the dishes Jun Xiaoqiao served him and then ate them all.
Wen Qiyu watched from the side, all he could do was pout. His older brother was really hypocritical; he had been so resistant just now, but now he had actually accepted it.
Scholars are just so pretentious.
Jun Xiaoqiao barely ate anything during the meal, as she was busy taking care of Wen Qiheng and was covered in sweat.
Finally, even the two old people couldn't stand it anymore, so they told her to sit down and ignore Wen Qiheng. Seeing that she had done her job, Jun Xiaoqiao naturally stopped.
