Upon hearing this, Yan Yunshu raised her eyelids and pierced Old Madam Yan with her icy eyes.
She pulled the corner of her mouth into a sneer and said through gritted teeth.
"Grandma, do you want Shu'er to speak out?"
Ha, you thought I was a kid who was easy to manipulate? You better pray that I don't stand up, or I'll kill you!
Then she put down her chopsticks slammed down and was about to start her outburst.
But she felt Wen patting her back gently. It was her mother trying to comfort her and tell her that she was there.
She suppressed her anger and listened to Wen's quiet words, "Mother only cares about the young master of the Zhu family and the children born to her. She is always inexplicably harsh on Shu'er and Yi'er. Could it be that the Zhu family is her natal family? Or, does the Zhu family have a child born out of wedlock?"
When Mrs. Yan heard this, her eyes went dark and she was about to faint.
The maids hurried forward and pinched her philtrum.
After finally recovering from his shock, he raised his finger and pointed at Wen, "You, you..."
My whole body is shaking.
Yan Feng frowned, his face showing displeasure, and said to Wen, "Madam, such an unfounded statement is just too much."
This means that he wants to apologize to Wen and his mother.
Mrs. Wen refused to do so. She just looked at Yan Yunshu and replied,
"My dear husband, I have eyes, ears, and a heart. I can see, hear, and think."
It was a polite refusal.
"Madam." Yan Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and still tried his best to play the role of a good husband.
But he also had doubts.
What happened to Wen these days?
It's so different!
"Sister, your speculation is indeed a bit too much. I grew up with you since childhood, and the Zhu family is your mother's family. How could there be a child born out of wedlock?"
Wen looked at Zhu with a hint of an ambiguous smile on her lips. "Yes, when you were my maid in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion, you worked very hard and were very helpful... Oh, I've strayed from the topic. What I meant by saying this is that I don't think what these things between you and me have to do with my mother's illegitimate child."
Hearing Wen talking about the maid, Yan Feng coughed, and his confusion and anger deepened.
Didn't we agree earlier to keep this matter to ourselves and not bring it up again?
Why did he bring it up in public?! How will Zhu gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future?
Thinking about it, I felt very upset and muttered, "That's enough!"
The dining room was quiet, with only the sound of Yan Yunshu drinking soup.
The servants in the hall all lowered their heads, wishing they had another pair of ears so that they wouldn't hear these words.
Zhu is a very suspicious person. Now that they know these unspeakable things in Zhu's past, they will have no good days.
As for Zhu, after looking around, she looked at Yan Feng aggrievedly, her face flushed red.
Then, she started crying to Wen again, "It really has nothing to do with it, but it's just that my sister is making groundless assumptions about mother having a child out of wedlock..."
A cold look flashed in Wen's eyes, and she smiled.
"You are filial."
Zhu replied with tears in her eyes, "My sister only knows that there is order in terms of age and distinction between the high and the low."
Wen smiled and took Zhu's hand.
"Poor sister, you're crying again," she took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhu's tears, then continued, "Don't be so sad. Just now, sister said that mother had a illegitimate child, but she was just talking nonsense out of anger. That illegitimate child is a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat, a filthy bastard that everyone can kill. Mother is dignified and virtuous, how could she have a illegitimate child!"
Wen wiped the last tear from Zhu's face and said with a smile, "Sister, don't you agree?"
Zhu's face turned pale.
Her eyes were filled with panic and fear, and she was filled with overwhelming hatred that she could barely contain.
"Sister, tell me, is what my sister said right?"
Wen looked at Zhu's face inquiringly.
Zhu frowned, but under the pressure from Wen, she could only nod.
"That's what my sister said."
Wen returned to his seat with satisfaction.
Then he looked at everyone with satisfaction.
Aunt Zhu was secretly tugging at Yan Feng's clothes. Yan Feng knew that this was because she cared about Zhu Nianyan and wanted him to know more about the big golden pig. After all, it was Wen who reported the case, and the big golden pig also belonged to Wen and Yan Yunshu. Although Yan Feng was the prime minister, it was not easy for him to go to the Dali Temple to inquire about the matter directly. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would use his connections to find out indirectly.
So Yan Feng opened his mouth and was about to ask in detail.
Yan Yunshu put down the soup spoon in her hand, rushed before Yan Feng, and acted coquettishly with Wen.
"Mom, I'm done drinking!"
Seeing that Yan Yunshu had finished her dinner, Mrs. Wen didn't want to stay any longer, so she took Yan Yunshu up, hurriedly bowed, turned around and left.
Yan Feng followed.
Then I heard Yan Yunshu say, "Mother, Yunshu still wants to sleep with you today."
Yan Feng paused, but still caught up.
In front of Fanghua Garden.
"Madam, madam."
Wen stopped and looked at Yan Feng.
Yan Feng's expression changed, and his face was filled with hypocritical affection. "Madam, your husband has something to tell you."
Mrs. Wen looked at Yan Feng, then at Yan Yunshu, feeling very embarrassed. "My husband, if you have anything to say, please say it here, okay?"
Yan Feng didn't mind that only eleven or twelve-year-old Yan Yunshu was there, so he squinted his eyes, smiled innocently, and asked, "I wonder what's going on with the big golden pig?"
Wen replied, "It's only been two days, and there's not much progress."
"Madam, do you know when the Dali Temple will go to interrogate the young master of the Zhu family?"
Wen sneered in the darkness, "I don't know, but..."
Yan Feng quickly responded, "But what?"
Wen smiled and said, "However, the Dali Temple just inspected Mother and her courtyard today. I believe they will first return to verify Mother's testimony before continuing to interrogate Young Master Zhu. Given this, I suspect it will take another three or four days."
After saying that, he looked at Yan Feng.
She knew that he was asking about this matter so eagerly in order to make preparations for going to the Dali Temple to inquire about it. Now she answered him like this, it was just because she knew too well that he was a prime minister who relied on others for everything, and she was not worried at all that he would know. The Dali Temple wanted to collect evidence as quickly as possible, the sooner the better, otherwise there would be changes. They would definitely investigate Zhu Nianyan and Zhu Nianyan's yard tomorrow.
So he deliberately said it was a few days later so that Yan Feng would stray from the time and start looking for a way a little later.
Although, even if he found a way, the ending of this matter would not be what she wanted!
But she just wanted Yan Feng to have a taste of that.
A feeling of despair.
