Chapter 429: Substituting
"Okay, I swear." Lord Wen really raised three fingers and pointed to the sky to swear.
Wen Zeduan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
My father didn't care at all and used me and my sister to swear such a vicious oath!
The woman kissed Master Wen on the cheek with satisfaction and asked, "Where is my brother Hui? How is he?
Did that old bitch Jiang Xinkui treat him badly?
Wen Zehui is Jiang Xinkui's youngest son and is twelve years old.
Because I had a child in my old age.
Jiang Xinkui treated him like a treasure.
Even Wen Ruyue had to stand back in front of Wen Zehui.
"Don't worry, Jiang Xinkui doesn't know that Zehui, the one he loves so dearly, is our son.
Now she still treats Zehui like her own son, holding him in her hands for fear of dropping him, and holding him in her mouth for fear of melting him."
"Then find a time to bring him out so I can meet him. I think Hui is going crazy missing him."
The woman leaned into Master Wen's arms, and Master Wen's bones softened and he agreed without hesitation: "Arrange it. I'll arrange it when I get back."
"What about this bastard? The older he gets, the more he looks like that old bitch Jiang Xinkui.
He already looks about 70% similar to Wen Zeduan. What if he runs away one day and is discovered...
In my opinion, why don't you find a time, use an outing as an excuse to take him out of the city, find a secluded place, and give him to..."
The woman gestured with her hand in front of her neck.
Lord Wen did not agree immediately, but looked at the bastard with a hesitant look.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. If he killed the dog bastard, wouldn't he be worse than an animal?
He was about to refuse.
The woman wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and began to sob.
"I knew you still like that bitch. I won't live anymore. Let me die with Mi'er..."
"Oh, my sweetheart, I promise you, I promise you everything, isn't that enough?" Lord Wen hugged his wife and went back to the house.
The bastard listened to the whole thing.
He was so frightened that he dared not move.
He was afraid that if he made even the slightest noise, he would alert the 'couple' and they would kill him immediately.
After people enter the house.
He collapsed to the ground as if exhausted.
Tears fell one after another like beads from a broken string.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at the wall.
He wanted to find the person he had just met, he wanted to ask for help.
Even if it means helping him report to the police.
But no.
He didn't see Wen Zeduan.
Just when he was in despair, he heard a soft knocking sound next to him.
He turned around nervously and saw the man.
He turned around and immediately kowtowed several times to the man on the wall, then made a begging gesture, asking him to save him.
Look directly into that face again.
Besides shock, there was also heartache in Wen Zeduan's eyes.
This boy turned out to be his biological brother.
The younger brother at home, whom he loved and cared for so much that he would call a doctor even when he was bitten by a mosquito, turned out to be an impostor.
The fake one is enjoying a good life at home, while his own brother is living worse than pigs and dogs here.
How dare they?
He actually fooled his mother and his siblings like this.
How dare they treat me like this!
Wen Zeduan made a reassuring gesture to him and slid down the wall.
His legs softened as he stepped forward, and he fell to the ground.
But he didn't dare to delay. He held on to the wall, climbed up with trembling legs and continued to run home.
He wants to go back now and tell his mother everything.
He wants to rescue his brother...
Do you really want to rescue your brother?
Although the mongrel is about 70% similar to himself, they did not grow up together after all, so there is no extra affection between them.
Zehui at home is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is even praised by the teacher for his talent for reading.
If you have to choose someone to be your brother, how can a bastard who grew up like a dog compare to Zehui who is good in everything?
wrong!
The father's reaction was wrong.
Ever since Zehui showed his talent for studying, the family's resources have always been biased towards him.
He used to feel that his father was partial to him, even though he was the eldest son.
His father said to him, "You are the future head of the Wen family. Train your younger brother to be a better person so that he can help you in the future."
Only now did he discover the trick.
I'm afraid my father has already considered passing the Wen family to Zehui.
The reason why I am not eliminated now is probably because Zehui is still young and will easily be the first to be targeted.
so……
I am just a tool to guard Zehui's position.
This speculation made him very anxious.
He slowed down and started running again.
He must tell his mother all of this.
Everything in the Wen family should belong to him.
He doesn't allow Zehui to touch him at all!

Wen Yan and the others were not in a hurry, so the carriage was not moving very fast.
She patted Fourth Brother Liu's big bag and asked, "What did you buy from all these things?"
"Defective fabrics bought cheaply from a cloth shop, and a little ink, brush, inkstone, and paper."
They are all practical things, which shows that after arriving in the capital, he was not dazzled by the colorful world here.
We arrived at the county town at noon.
After having dinner at a restaurant in the county town, they continued on their journey.
They first went back to Liujia Village and sent Brother Liu Si home.
The Liu family was very happy to see Wen Yan and his wife.
When he learned that Ying Zhilin had passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer, he was extremely happy.
As Zhang Gan'niang laughed, tears began to flow.
Wen Yan wiped her tears: "Mom, let's not cry, good days are still to come!"
After she recovered from her illness, Zhang Ganniang nodded repeatedly and wiped away her tears with her sleeves: "Yes, today is a good day, and the days to come will all be good days."
Father Liu was so happy that he couldn't sit still. He immediately went outside to set off three strings of firecrackers, and then ran to the main hall to burn incense and kowtow to his ancestors.
It was as if the top scorer in the imperial examination was his own son.
When the villagers heard them setting off firecrackers, they came over curiously to ask what was going on.
Whenever Liu's father met someone, he would tell them, "My son-in-law has passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar! My Liu family has finally produced a top scholar."
The villagers were stunned when they heard this.
No matter how envious, jealous, or resentful they are in their hearts, they just throw out auspicious words without asking for anything in return.
Wen Yan quickly took a few sacks from the carriage and distributed candies and melon seeds to the neighbors.
The Liu family originally wanted to let Wen Yan and his wife stay here overnight and go back tomorrow.
However, Wen Yan refused: "Zhilin's success in the imperial examination is a big deal. The family will definitely have to open an ancestral hall and hold a wedding banquet. There are many things waiting for us to deal with when we return."
They are all important things.
The Liu family couldn't force them to stay.
He started preparing dinner and asked them to eat before leaving.
Father Liu was happy.
He took out the daughter's red wine that he had treasured for several years and pulled Ying Zhilin to drink two large bowls.
"After you finish your serious business, we will drink until we are drunk."
When dinner was over, the sky was already filled with clouds.
It’s time for Wen Yan and the others to leave.
Zhang Gan'niang was afraid that they would be too busy, so she asked her third sister-in-law and fourth brother to go over and help first.
Wen Yan held her mother and sister-in-law's hands and said goodbye: "We will definitely need a lot of things to do our business.
I'll order some tofu from you guys. Please prepare 100 kilograms first.
Chickens, ducks, fish and eggs are also prepared, the more the better.
Please order ten pigs for me first..."
Wen Yan ordered a lot of things.
Although they said they were helping, Zhang Gan's mother knew that it was her daughter and son-in-law who were actually helping them in disguise.
It not only allows them to make some profit from the price difference, but also gives them the opportunity to win some favors.
No one in the Liu family refused.
Wen Yan sat in the carriage, looking at the familiar winding mountain road under the setting sun, and said with great emotion: "The last time I left home, the road was blocked by heavy snow. I didn't expect that when I came back this time, the wheat would be yellow."
As they got closer to Songshan Village, Wen Yan felt a sense of security and satisfaction at being home.
It’s like returning to that place.
She is absolutely safe and carefree.
Wen Yan pressed his chest.
Just this small action caught Ying Zhilin's attention: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Yan shook her head.
It's not a physical discomfort.
But something in her heart seemed to be changing quietly.
