Chapter 81
Unexpectedly, this fellow has the audacity to bring men to hijack the bridal sedan chair today.
What exactly does he want to do?
After washing up, Wen Shu collapsed onto the bed. She was exhausted after a long day and finally felt relaxed.
Before falling into a deep sleep, Wen Shu was still pondering what Pei Lingjun really meant. Whatever he wanted to do, it would soon be none of her concern.
...
"You bitch!"
Scalding hot tea mixed with broken porcelain shards crashed to the ground, and the servants inside the room knelt on the floor.
Jiang Xianyi clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly. The half-finished rabbit on it was red and its eyes held a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Is it that lady from the Wen family again?" Jiang Xianyi threw down her handkerchief, gritting her teeth. "Last time I met her at the Baihe Restaurant, Brother Jun left me alone there while looking for her, and now he's showing up in front of everyone to steal her away?!"
The personal maidservant beside her lowered her head and said, "Princess, please calm down. The young master may have his own reasons for doing these things. After all, he has been infiltrating the Wen family for some time now. It's just a temporary measure, who knows?"
As expected of someone who has followed Jiang Xianyi for so many years, he still has the ability to guess his master's thoughts.
As expected, Jiang Xianyi's expression softened considerably, but her complexion was still not very good.
"Whether it's a temporary measure or not, I just can't stand it..." she pouted, her eyes filled with resentment, "I can't stand him being so nice to other women."
As if thinking of something, Jiang Xianyi's expression changed slightly. "Do you think Brother Ajun could really have fallen for that illegitimate daughter of the Wen family?"
The waitress was taken aback, unsure whether to shake her head or nod.
The woman raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at the empty brocade box on the table not far away. Inside was the imperial edict bestowed by the Empress Dowager for the marriage. She had to go and see for herself what kind of relationship there was between her brother Ah Jun and that concubine's daughter!
The early autumn weather was still clear and bright. Ever since the incident at the Wen and Qi residences, the news had spread throughout Anyang City.
It is said that the young master of the Qi family already has a wife, and the lady of the Wen family, unwilling to be humiliated, broke off the engagement on the spot. In the end, a handsome lover kidnapped the lady of the Wen family and said that they would elope together.
But when Wen Shu appeared on the street the next day, the rumors no longer held water. So people started making up stories, saying that Wen Shu's lover had gotten Wen Shu's approval and would soon become Wen Shu's son-in-law.
Hanxiang's face darkened, and she said to the people in the carriage, "These people know nothing and just spout nonsense. They're ruining your reputation, Miss."
Wearing a straw hat, Wen Shu slowly got out of the car. "People can say whatever they want; what can you and I do?"
The two, mistress and servant, entered the medicine shop. After looking around, Granny Chen led Wen Shu to the backyard.
"Mother."
Granny Chen and Hanxiang waited outside, letting the mother and daughter talk.
Even while recuperating at the medicine shop, Zhou Yun, who was in the midst of the uproar over the Qi family affair, had heard some of the rumors.
"Shu'er, what exactly happened yesterday?"
When Zhou Yun saw that Wen Shu wasn't wearing a married woman's hairstyle and was still dressed like a young girl, her heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the rumors outside were true.
"Mother, don't worry. The marriage between the Wen and Qi families is probably off. Everyone at the Wen Academy has been extremely busy these past two days. If you leave now, no one will notice anything amiss."
