"Brother, how are Biqiu and my niece?" Wan Jinlan wanted to see Fang Biqiu very much and wanted to hug his niece, but unfortunately, given his current situation, he could only think about it.
Speaking of Fang Biqiu and his daughter, Wan Zhijing smiled. "They are both doing well. Madam Ji is looking for a house now. When Biqiu recovers, she will move out of the Li Mansion. You will have the opportunity to meet Biqiu in the future."
"Brother and sister-in-law, have you ever thought about escaping back to Kyoto? If you two are interested, I would be happy to escort you."
Wan Zhijing flicked her head and Wan Jinlan let out an "ouch".
"What are you going back for? I don't believe you don't know what your husband wants to do. You're playing tricks on me." Wan Zhijing said with a smile.
Wan Jinlan snorted, "Brother, you really mean well but I take your kindness for granted. You're a man, so forget it. But in the future, Biqiu and my niece will have to live an uneasy life with you."
At that time, Prince Guangling's men went to Xuzhou to take his family as hostages. Although Wan Zhijing and Fang Biqiu escaped, they were separated from the refugees. When he and An Xi found Fang Biqiu again, she was already at the border between Yongliang.
Coming to Liangzhou was a coincidence, but I didn't expect that my sister and Xiao Feng would also come here.
Maybe this is God's will.
Looking at the sister in front of him, she was wearing a coarse cloth shorts and didn't dare to show her true face. She had lost a lot of weight and didn't look like the noble lady she used to be.
Wan Zhijing naturally felt sorry for his sister, "If you hadn't married Xiao Feng, you wouldn't be suffering from all the hardships you're facing now."
"Brother, why are you saying this now? He couldn't have predicted what would happen later. He took good care of me on the way, and besides, I was the one who provoked him in the first place."
Wan Jinlan unconsciously said a few words for Xiao Feng, earning a roll of his eyes from Wan Zhijing. "Well, a girl can't be kept when she grows up, and a sister who is married off is like spilled water."
Wan Jinlan chuckled and twisted his arm.
She felt extremely relieved these past two days, which was the happiest moment for her since she learned of her father's death.
After the brother and sister parted ways, Wan Jinlan went to visit Old Man Lu again.
Old Man Lu's yard was very lively at this time. Wan Jinlan was lying on the wall and saw Wang, who was extremely powerful as described by Old Man Lu.
Wang was pretty and charming, with a gentle oval face and a plump figure. She looked to be in her early thirties. She spoke slowly and calmly, and had the demeanor of a wealthy and noble lady in the capital.
"My father is not happy with his daughter-in-law, so he wants to move out. I am so ashamed. My father just said that I did something to make him unhappy, and that I will change."
"If my daughter-in-law causes discord between my father and my husband, then I will be the sinner of the Lu family."
Wang used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes from time to time, with an expression that said, "I'm wronged, but I can endure it as long as you are all well."
Old man Lu stood aside with a dark face, unable to speak for a long time.
Lu Yan, a handsome middle-aged man with a broad forehead, a high nose, thick eyebrows and large eyes, was upright and righteous. He angrily said to his father, "Dad, can't you just stop worrying about me? What are you doing all day? I'm already busy with my official duties, and now I have to deal with the trouble you cause when I come home. Can't you just be quiet for a while?"
Not to mention Lu Yuan, Wan Jinlan's blood rushed to his head.
This cousin's mind is so far away that he doesn't even remember that Old Man Lu is his biological father!
When Wan Jinlan first met Old Man Lu, he had the impression of a hermit, a master, because of his musket. Now, with his slightly bent back, Old Man Lu looked like an ordinary old man troubled by the issues of father-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Old man Lu was no match for Wang at all and could only be beaten by her.
Wan Jinlan seriously suspected that Old Man Lu was almost bullied to tears.
Lu Yuan was filled with grief and indignation, feeling that his son might have been born in vain. He raised his head and angrily said, "I just want to live in the village. You and I don't have to quarrel every day, and Wang Shi doesn't have to be on guard against me every day. What's wrong with that?"
Wang continued to wipe her tears, "Father, when did I ever start to be on guard against you?"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "You're not on guard against me. Why don't you let me get close to my grandchildren?"
Wang was about to continue speaking when Lu Yuan suddenly said, "I really don't know what you're doing. Let me move out and live a free life. No one in the Lu family's backyard will give you trouble. I'm about to leave, and you still want to disgust me. You're really opening my eyes."
Wang was extremely angry.
If this old man hadn't come, Lu Yan wouldn't have made a fuss with her, blaming her for not being able to tolerate the child born by his ex-wife. That's why he decided to send everyone away, and that's why the two of them died.
But if Zhang hadn't been divorced and refused to leave the Lu family for her son's sake, she wouldn't have been so unwilling to even take in a child. It was just a toddler, she could have just taken care of him. Why would she have kicked him out? It would have damaged her reputation! Now, everyone is blaming her!
Just because Zhang died, everyone blamed her!
If Lu Yan had not been coaxed into changing his mind by her, who knows what would happen to this mansion now.
Wang Shi had hoped that Old Man Lu would move out, but he had come without telling her and had caused her so much trouble. Now that he was moving out, she had to make him feel bad. The worse the relationship between the father and son was, the happier she was.
Wang didn't expect that Old Man Lu, who never confronted her head-on, would accuse her like this. Her hands were shaking, her breathing was so rapid that she couldn't speak, and then she fainted.
Lu Yan hugged Wang and exclaimed, "Yunniang, Yunniang."
Lu Yan looked at Old Man Lu with a look of annoyance, "Father, do whatever you want. As a son, I shouldn't dictate your decisions."
After saying that, Lu Yan picked up Wang with difficulty and walked out. Because Wang's skirt was too long, Lu Yan accidentally stepped on it, stumbled and fell to the ground, and took Wang with him.
The servants cried out in surprise and hurried to help the two.
The scene looked noisy, and Lu Yuan watched without any intention of going over to help.
Wan Jinlan almost laughed out loud.
Old Man Lu was hurt again and walked towards the house dejectedly.
After everyone had left, Wan Jinlan sneaked into the house and comforted him, "Don't be sad, uncle. You have so many worries now because of this small house. When you are busy in the future, you won't have time to think about these useless things."
Lu Yuan looked up at her, "Useless?"
Wan Jinlan's nonsense was full of twisted theories. "Aren't things that make you unhappy useless?"
After a while, a servant knocked on the door and Wan Jinlan quickly hid.
The servant came in and presented a hundred taels of silver. "Master, this is what the master asked me to bring. The master also said that the master can leave whenever he wants. When he buys a house in the village, don't forget to send someone to inform me."
Lu Yuan nodded and let the person go.
Wan Jinlan looked at the sky. It was already late, so he could only leave tomorrow.
Wan Jinlan said, "Uncle, I will be waiting for you outside the city at the end of the Mao hour tomorrow morning."
Seeing his dazed expression, Wan Jinlan said again: "Uncle, do you want to see my husband and talk to him? I can arrange it. He is in this city now."
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. We'll see each other someday."
Wan Jinlan sighed in his heart, thinking that Old Man Lu was hurt by his cousin.
At night, she sneaked back to Xiao Feng's current residence.
She had just sat down and was looking at the inner room when she saw him walking in wearing a white undergarment, his body covered in moisture.
