Chapter 267 Some Things Never Have Standard Answers

Lu Xinran had no idea what kind of shock this news had caused among the people.

But the veins on the side of Song Junyan's head, who was sitting below the emperor, began to throb again.

How come this guy has been so diligent these days!

Who on earth provided her with the list that made her eat so many melons so frequently?

He has already seen the darkness that will befall his future.

Otherwise, let's give the position of Shuntian Prefecture Governor to someone else. He doesn't really need it now.

The Queen Mother lost all interest in the excitement in the scene when she thought of the past. The Empress, who had been paying attention to her expression, also vaguely knew something about the past, so she whispered a few words to the Emperor.

The emperor rarely rejected the empress's suggestion. Seeing that it was getting dark, he waved his hand, stood up, helped the empress dowager up, and left.

The emperor and the empress dowager left and returned to the palace. All the officials and their families also stood up and after a few brief words with their colleagues and relatives, they also said goodbye and left.

Lu Xinran followed the Lu family and always felt that the looks from the people passing by were inexplicably complicated.

Especially the people from the Wen and Cao families. She raised her hand and touched her cheek. Could it be that... there was sauce on her cheek when she was eating just now?

After returning to Lu's house, Pei patted the two sisters on the shoulders and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

In the following days, all kinds of news spread like wildfire in the capital. Cuizhu would go to the streets every day to get the news and then come back to tell her.

"Girl, a big thing happened to the Wen family recently."

Cuizhu imitated the storyteller in the teahouse and narrated vividly what happened in the Wen family.

"When the first lady of the Wen family found out that the concubine had dared to swap her child, she ignored the objections of the first master of the Wen family and ordered her men to beat the concubine to death."

“Wow!”

Lu Xinran turned aside in shock: "Beat him to death? What about that illegitimate child Wen Tian?"

After all, she has raised him by her side for more than ten years and they have a deep relationship. How should she deal with it?

When Cuizhu mentioned Wen Tian, ​​she subconsciously glanced at her expression. Seeing that she was just curious, she spoke carefully.

"The eldest lady naturally couldn't bear to let her down. After all, she was raised by her side, and the fifth girl has always said that she really doesn't know her true identity."

Don’t you know?

Lu Xinran pursed her lips. She didn't read Wen Tian's booklet that day, so she didn't know whether what she said was true or false.

But none of this matters to her.

"But after the abandoned Sixth Young Master learned his true identity, he cried for several hours. He hated the Fifth Young Lady who had taken his identity and threatened that he would be the only one left in the family, and forced the Madam to give him an explanation."

“Did you give it to me?”

Lu Xinran was curious and wanted to know if the wife of the Wen family would choose the adopted daughter who had been raised by her since childhood like Zhao if she had the same experience.

Cuizhu shook her head in regret: "I don't know, I just found out this much, maybe the Wen family hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet."

After more than a decade of misplaced life, it is not so easy to put everything back in place.

"Well, then you should find out more during this period of time, and you must tell me the results as soon as possible."

She wondered how many Zhaos there were in the world.

After watching for a few days, the Cao family finally came to cancel the engagement.

Regardless of Wen Tian's character, this marriage cannot continue.

They also didn't want to follow the footsteps of the Wen family and become the topic of conversation among people in Beijing after dinner.

However, the Cao family's cancellation of the engagement seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Mrs. Yuan. She no longer struggled and went to her mother-in-law for help, asking her to find a middleman to marry the girl off far away.

Most of the dowry that had been given to Wen Tian was taken back, and they were just mother and daughter. In the end, she couldn't bear to see her live a hard life in her husband's family, so she left her a last bit of dignity.
