Chapter 363: With your thick skin and your cheap mouth
Buying a painting is fake, having some ulterior motive is real.
Wen Yan said, "Auntie Shuang, please reply to an invitation for me. Pick a day when the store is free and invite her over for tea."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away and let you know when the time is confirmed." Aunt Shuang responded and went to do her job.
Finish the sugar water.
Wen Yan stretched lazily, and the customers in the store were about to leave.
Wen Yan suggested taking a walk in the front yard.
Ning Tan touched his face and shook his head: "My face... I'd better not go."
"We are finally free, but I don't know when we can play together again.
Let's go.
If you're afraid of being noticed, why not wear this instead?"
Wen Yan took a veil and gave it to Ning Tan.
Ning Tan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
It was because she had been locked up in a small square courtyard for so many years, and she really wanted to see the light of day outside.
The two of them put on warm clothes, Ning Tan put on a veil, and then they went to the garden together.
Ning Tan was so fascinated by these small gardens that he couldn't take his eyes off them. He praised Wen Yan highly, "How did you come up with the idea of arranging the courtyard like this?
It’s so beautiful!
If I were to get together with my sisters, I would also choose this place."
Wen Yan shook her head happily: "Actually, these are not the most popular ones. The Ice Skating and Hundred Flowers Gardens are booked every day, otherwise I could take you to see them." After the two of them finished speaking, they prepared to go to the next garden.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the garden, they met the guests who were about to leave.
"Wen Yan! Why are you here!" A female voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Wen Yan turned around and found that it was an old acquaintance Zhu Lele.
Huo Yaoxing's cousin and the eldest daughter of the Zhu family.
In her previous life, because Wen Yan married Huo Yaoxing, Zhu Lele always regarded her as a thorn in her side.
Even though they no longer have any conflicts of interest in this life, she still hates Wen Yan to the core under the instigation of Wen Ruyue.
Finding fault with Wen Yan everywhere.
Her help in making the wedding dress was indispensable.
She suffered several losses at the hands of Wen Yan and was severely punished several times. Only then did she restrain herself a lot and stop causing trouble for Wen Yan.
At this moment, Zhu Lele's anger, which was about to explode, finally found an outlet.
"Miss Zhu, please call me Liu Wenyan."
"Tsk, that's hilarious. Everyone knows you grew up in the Wen family. You ate and lived in the Wen family, grew up in the Wen family, and now that you're married you want to cut ties with the Wen family. You're such an ungrateful, ungrateful person."
"I've already repaid all the money I spent at the Wen family over the years. That's evidenced by Aunt Lan Xin, who is close to the Empress."
"You... can pay back the money, but what about the feelings you've had over the years? What about the training they've given you? You were able to climb into the capital's powerful circles and make so many connections. Isn't that taking advantage of the Wen family?"
Wen Yan found it funny: "Are the connections you're talking about the kind of people like you who pick on me, scold me, and ruin my reputation every time we meet?
If that's what you're talking about, I'm sorry, I don't want it."
"You...you talk nicely, but you're still a snob.
There is a shortage of charcoal in the capital city right now. You clearly have millions of pounds of charcoal in your hands, but you do nothing to help them and watch them freeze to death.
You are such a cold-hearted woman!"
"You are so kind, and there are so many poor people in the capital. You must be willing to share your Zhu family's money with them!"
"Why should I give my money to those poor bastards?"
“So, why should I give my charcoal to those people?
Because you are thick-skinned?
Because of your bad mouth?
Or is it based on your generosity towards others?"
Wen Yan waved her hand impatiently: "Miss Zhu, you are too dumb with your words, so stop making trouble here. Hurry up and leave, don't make me ask someone to throw you out!"
Zhu Lele's face turned red and he ran away in shame.
However, among these guests, there was a woman who secretly glanced at Ning Tan several times: "You..."
She also walked towards Ning Tan.
Wen Yan took a big step forward and stood between the two of them: "Miss, please stop. The maid in the shop has acne on her face and it will scare you."
"Really? Sorry to bother you." The female guest smiled apologetically and left with her companion.
After this incident, Ning Tan didn't dare to hang around outside and simply returned to his residence.
The sky gradually brightened.
Wen Yan sent Ning Tan back to Ning's home.
The carriage stopped at the corner gate of the Ning family's house.
After being away for many years, I miss my hometown every day, which makes me feel homesick.
The handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled by her.
Wen Yan patted her hand: "Don't worry. I'll send someone to notify your biological parents, and they will come to pick you up."
In her previous life, when her biological parents learned that she was in trouble, their first reaction was to go out of town to rescue her.
However, her clan members refused to rescue her, saying that she would bring disgrace to the family.
In the end, it was her eleven-year-old little brother who crawled out of the dog hole and asked Meng Chifei for help.
Ning Tan nodded nervously.
A moment later, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, someone is coming."
"Please get the people into the carriage."
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman came in with her head bowed.
She froze just as she was halfway in, and cried out, "Tan'er! My Tan..."
Wen Yan covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Madam, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Ning Tan's mother's tears fell one after another like beads from a broken string.
When Wen Yan let her go, Ning's mother rushed over and hugged Ning Tan tightly.
Ning Tan couldn't stop crying.
Both mother and daughter cried in a suppressed and restrained manner. Wen Yan watched from the side with red eyes.
She quietly exited the carriage and said to the maidservant standing by, "Please tell Miss Ning that my mission has been successfully completed. I will take my leave now."
The maid looked at her and nodded proudly.
It is indeed a family of noble character; even the maids have a sense of pride.
Wen Yan left with her maid.
In the carriage.
The Ning family's mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.
After the two of them calmed down, Ning's mother asked, "Why did you get involved with Wen Yan? And you even asked her to take you back. If others saw you, would your reputation be ruined?"
My daughter is already in this state now, we must not make things worse.
"Mom, it's not what you think.
If it weren't for Liu Wenyan, what you'd be seeing now would be my corpse."
Then, Ning Tan told the story of the robbers in detail.
After hearing this, Ning's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Qian... How dare she do that to the Qian family!
You are just your fiancée, and it is already very loving and loyal of you to have done this. Yet they still want to destroy you!
How vicious! "
Ning Tan held his mother's hand tightly and said, "Mom, it's not that simple.
In the third year that I was guarding the Qian family's mausoleum, the nephew of the Qian family's mistress came to study at the Qian family's school. He met me once at an ancestral worship activity and...he was attracted by my beauty.
Although I had been avoiding him, the mistress of the Qian family still saw through her thoughts.
The mistress of the Qian family naturally wanted to give me to that nephew as a concubine in exchange for a favor.
The second wife of the Qian family thinks I am fickle.
Five years have passed, and she still hates me, thinking that I was the one who killed Qian Xun.
She said I didn’t deserve a new life and that I should spend my whole life atonement for Qian Xun’s sins.”
As Ning Tan spoke, tears began to fall again.
