Chapter 375: Wen Ge keeps crying
Yu Lingye: "Just a guess."
Lu Jiuyuan: "Your guess is almost right."
"After he became the crown prince, he took on countless prestigious tasks. All of these tasks required money, lots and lots of it."
"He needs money to buy off those stubborn old men in the court, and even more so to consolidate his position."
"Where does he get so much money?"
"With his limited assets, it is absolutely impossible to fill these holes."
"If Xiaoyao Island, a den of vengeance, had been constantly sending him money, it would be understandable."
Xie Yingmian: "He climbed up by stepping on his biological mother's family, squeezing out the last bit of value from them to climb onto the Queen Mother's patronage. He's truly been a ruthless person since he was a child."
Lu Jiuyuan agreed very much: "That's absolutely right."
Xie Yingmian said to Yu Lingye, "Then we shouldn't go."
"If we are recognized by the Emperor's men, it will alert the enemy. We will come again after Yan Qing has cracked the trap."
As Xie Yingmian spoke, she showed her small white teeth to Yu Lingye.
Gold is good.
She likes gold the best.
I especially like other people's gold.
Yu Lingye had the same idea.
Xie Yingmian fixed her gaze on Lu Jiuyuan: "You showed up at Xiaoyao Island so openly, aren't you afraid of being recognized by the Emperor?"
Lu Jiuyuan smiled and said nothing.
Yu Lingye said, "He is no longer the same as before."
Lu Jiuyuan nodded: "Indeed, I didn't look like this before."
"If my father stood in front of me, I'm afraid he wouldn't recognize me."
"When the elders passed on the kung fu to me, I needed to go through two stages: cleansing the bones and marrow, and then being reborn."
"Cleanse the bones and marrow, and reshape my meridians."
"I was reborn, and my body shape and face changed."
Lu Jiuyuan finished his words casually and asked Yu Lingye with a smile, "Actually, I'm very curious, how did you recognize me at first sight?"
Yu Lingye did not answer.
The appearance has changed, the figure has changed, and even the temperament has changed.
But, he is still himself.
Some things in your bones cannot be changed.
"When can we leave?" he asked.
Lu Jiuyuan: "It's dark."
"It's still early, do you want to eat something?"
“The seafood here is delicious, would you like to try it?”
Xie Yingmian couldn't refuse any delicious food.
By the time she and Yu Lingye had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already dark.
When it was time to send the guests off to Xiaoyao Island, they were placed in coffins as usual.
Along with the coffin's bumps.
They finally arrived at the teahouse on the pier in the late night.
The teahouse is not far from the affordable medical clinic, only a quarter of an hour's walk away.
Xie Yingmian was shaken around in the coffin and didn't want to ride in a carriage at all, so she simply took Yu Lingye to the clinic to stay overnight.
Her bedroom was designed when the clinic was built.
It is usually cleaned and you can move in directly.
By the time they finished washing and fell into a deep sleep, it was already dawn.
They were on the road almost all day and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
When we returned to Prince Ling's Mansion, it was already dark.
As soon as they came back, Wen Juexia hurried to meet them.
"Sister Mianmian, you are finally back."
"You haven't come back for a whole day and night, and we are really worried."
Xie Yingmian comforted him, "Don't worry, we're fine."
Wen Juexia looked at Xie Yingmian's energetic appearance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time you go to a dangerous place, you must take me with you. I don't have any special skills, but I have thick skin and can withstand beatings."
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely take you with me next time."
Wen Juexia took Xie Yingmian's hand and said, "By the way, Sister Mianmian, if you have nothing to do, go see Wen Ge."
"Wen Ge has been locked in her room since yesterday afternoon. She refuses to eat or drink and keeps crying. Tamamo and Zhuyue have taken turns trying to persuade her but to no avail. I don't know much sign language, so I don't know how to persuade her."
"Weng Ge always listens to you. Maybe you can persuade her."
Xie Yingmian frowned.
Wen Ge has always quietly done his job and never caused trouble to others because of his deafness and dumbness.
He rarely left the palace and even rarely appeared in front of outsiders.
"What happened yesterday at noon?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Wen Juexia said, "I heard from Yumo that Yumo and Wen Ge went out for a while. Wen Ge left for a while and when she came back her face was red and her eyes were swollen."
"After returning to the palace, she locked herself in the room, refused to eat or drink, and kept crying."
"Wen Ge can't speak. We don't know what happened and can only worry."
Xie Yingmian went to Wen Ge's room.
Wen Ge had probably been crying for a very long time, and she looked very haggard, as haggard as a broken rag doll that would break at the slightest touch.
Xie Yingmian said nothing.
She brought out the egg custard.
"I heard Xia Xia say that you haven't eaten anything since yesterday?"
"I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite egg custard. Would you like to eat something first?"
Wen Ge shook his head.
Xie Yingmian said, "Eat first, and then tell me who bullied you yesterday."
"Just crying won't do. If anyone bullies me, Xie Yingmian, I will pursue the matter even if you don't."
"Don't forget, you are mine now."
Wen Ge's tears, which had dried up, suddenly flowed out again.
She covered her face and sobbed loudly.
Xie Yingmian hugged Wen Ge and patted her shoulders gently.
Wen Ge cried for a long time and her emotions calmed down a lot.
She was really hungry and quickly finished a big bowl of egg custard.
"Princess, it's cold, it's cold." Wen Ge spoke awkwardly.
Xie Yingmian was not surprised to hear Wen Ge speak.
She had taken Wen Ge's pulse a long time ago and knew that Wen Ge's deafness and dumbness were not congenital, but were caused by poisoning.
The detoxification process is relatively slow.
From last year to this year, it took more than half a year to finally clear out the remaining poison in Wen Ge's body.
The poisoning time is too long.
It will take a long time for the ears and vocal cords to fully recover.
But, not speaking doesn't mean she can't speak.
"Would you like to talk to me?" Xie Yingmian said, "Your vocal cords are uncomfortable. Can you tell me why you are crying like this, whether by speaking, writing, or using sign language?"
Wen Ge nodded.
Her vocal cords hadn't fully recovered yet, her voice was hoarse, her speech was clumsy, and she wasn't used to it.
Speaking is not as fast as writing.
Wen Ge has been with Xie Yingmian for a long time and has been somewhat influenced by Xie Yingmian's personality.
She is willing to speak out about her own affairs.
Wen Ge took a pen and paper and wrote down his story completely on the paper.
After reading it, Xie Yingmian's face was filled with anger.
"You cried because you saw them yesterday at noon?"
Wen Ge nodded.
"They beat me, scolded me, and told me to die."
Outside the door.
Wen Juexia has good hearing.
She heard the entire conversation between Xie Yingmian and Wen Ge.
She knew that after Wen Ge's poison was cured, she could barely hear and speak.
She was shocked by what Wen Ge said.
"Who hit you? Who scolded you? Who told you to die?" Wen Juexia pushed the door open with a clang and shouted angrily, "Wen Ge, tell me who it is!"
