Chapter 424 Good Tea
When Shi Xuan prescribed medicine and treated her, he often targeted her.
Wen Zhenyi took out the stove and boiled water to make tea: "Drink something hot to warm yourself up."
"Is this the fine tea sent by Grandpa Wang?"
"That's right. Now, every year as long as there is good tea, he will send us some. He doesn't worry about not having enough to drink."
Wen Zhenyi sat across from him, holding the tea set made by Song Huanhuan. "It's a pity that we didn't meet Huanhuan when we went to the provincial capital."
"They went to the tea mountain together, and we can still see them when we come back."
“The tea sets she makes now seem very popular.”
"It's not just popular, people are scrambling to buy one, and the price is not cheap."
"Yeah?"
"That's right. A set of her tea sets costs a hundred taels, but you still can't buy it even if you have money."
"It's good to know that she is doing well. Now they are living in harmony with each other, have their own children, and she can do what she likes."
"The Wang family doesn't have such messy things going on. Families that can take concubines after the age of 40 without any children have very upright family traditions."
Wen Zhenyi raised the cup and smelled the tea: "Good tea."
Shen Hanxing waited for her to finish a glass and then refilled her glass: “Come to think of it, this set of cups she gave you can be considered her matchmaker.”
Wen Zhenyi smiled and touched the lines on the cup, then turned to look at the two sleeping at the stern: "Logically, they are her matchmakers."
"That's right, they are all over this tea set."
Cream and Coco seemed to know someone was talking about them. They looked around, but didn't find anything unusual, so they continued to sleep together.
Chen Hanxing looked at the two: "How long do they live?"
When Coco was pregnant, Wen Zhenyi had asked about the lifespan of minks and learned something about them: "About eleven years."
Chen Hanxing frowned: "They have been with us for most of our lives."
"Yeah, it's not as naughty as before." Wen Zhenyi still remembered how Zhongli Zhuang looked when he gave it the cream.
Chen Hanxing changed the subject: "The next city is Meng Caidie's in-laws' home. Do you want to go see her?"
"Go. I haven't seen her since she got married. I only received letters from her occasionally, and they have become less and less in the past two years." Wen Zhenyi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Alright, let's go and see if we can give an explanation to Yongyuan and the others."
"Did they let you come and see it this time?"
"They did say a little bit. Meng Caidie writes to them less often now than before. When they asked her if something happened, she didn't say anything in her letters. They are inevitably a little worried. Now they can't leave and can't go see her, so they asked me to check on her when I pass by."
"That's true. For the past two years, I've always felt that the content of her letters was a little strange, but I can't put my finger on it."
"Do you remember what she wrote to you before?"
"I do remember the most recent one, but it didn't contain much."
Shen Hanxing hesitated: "Yi Yi, write it out for me to see."
Wen Zhen nodded slightly, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a letter to Meng Caidie. It was just a few short sentences.
When Shen Hanxing saw these lines, his brows furrowed, “I’m afraid I have to go this time.”
"What's wrong?" Wen Zhenyi looked at him with some confusion.
Shen Hanxing placed the paper in front of her: "Look at the beginning of each line."
Wen Zhenyi glanced at the words at the beginning of each line: "Save me and my child one by one."
"yes."
Wen Zhenyi frowned tightly: "What on earth happened?"
Chen Hanxing shook her head: "We can only find out when we go there. When was this letter sent to you?"
"She sat in front of my happy mother for three days. I didn't notice it at that time and wrote her back." Wen Zhenyi was very upset now. Why didn't she notice this?
Seeing her face full of self-blame, Shen Hanxing quickly comforted her: “This has nothing to do with you, and you didn’t expect that this would be a message for help hidden in the letter.”
"The year is almost over. Will she really be okay?" Wen Zhenyi was extremely worried.
"Do you remember what you told her? Never give up on your life. I think she'll be fine."
Wen Zhen had a dream one night. She dreamed that Meng Caidie was skinny, with disheveled hair, and was locked in a yard. Her eyes were blurred.
Outside the yard there was singing and dancing, and the laughter of young girls could be heard everywhere.
A child wearing tattered clothes was pushed to the ground and beaten until he was covered with wounds, just for holding a steamed bun in his arms.
After those who bullied him left, he stumbled to Meng Caidie's yard with the steamed buns in his hand: "Mom, I brought you something to eat."
Wen Zhenyi woke up suddenly and turned over and sat up in bed.
Shen Hanxing was also awakened. Seeing that she was covered in sweat and looked a little dazed, he wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Wen Zhenyi turned to look at him dazedly: "I dreamed that Caidie was imprisoned in a dilapidated yard, and her child was beaten."
Shen Hanxing held her in his arms and whispered to comfort her: "It's just a dream, don't think too much."
“The picture was so real that it made me feel like it wasn’t a dream.”
"We'll be there in a few days, and I'll know then. Don't think too much about it now."
Wen Zhen nodded and lay down on the bed.
Shen Hanxing held her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead: "Go to sleep, it's okay."
Wen Zhen nodded slightly, found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep again.
Chen Hanxing was not asleep. Ever since Wen Zhenyi came back from the gates of hell last time, he could clearly feel that she had become much weaker, and he didn't know when she would recover.
I just hope that Meng Caidie is not as bad as she dreamed.
Wen Zhenyi has been a little absent-minded these days.
Old Lady Wen was a little worried and asked Shen Hanxing privately.
When she knew the reason, she also frowned: "I hope that girl from the Meng family is okay."
"Grandma, this is what I'm worried about too."
When they arrived at the dock of Meng Caidie's in-laws' home, Wen Zhenyi and his wife took Shi Xuan and Wen Yongman with them, and the four of them went straight to Meng Caidie's in-laws' home.
Liu Mansion.
Wen Yongman went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the side door beside the main door was opened. A servant stuck his head out and looked at the visitor: "Who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for your young lady Meng Caidie."
"The young lady is not here. You can come back another day." After saying that, he was about to close the door.
Wen Yongman pushed the door closed with one hand: "Where did she go?"
"How would we servants know? Let go of your hand." The servant said angrily without being able to close the door.
