Chapter 443: Mr. Wen has been suspended again
Jiang Xinkui cried bitterly.
She wiped away her tears and turned to glare at the outer room.
"It's you! It's all your fault!"
Like a heartbroken mother, she rushed over like a madman, rode on the concubine, slapped her, and screamed, "If you have something to say, come to me, why are you hurting my child!
He is the flesh that fell from my body, why did you hurt him?
Why!
Why!
The child is hurt, and the mother is heartbroken!
Wuwuwuwu...I failed to protect my child!"
The more miserable Jiang Xinkui cried, the happier she felt.
So many years.
She was finally able to beat this woman openly.
When Lord Wen saw his beloved woman being beaten, he wanted to rush over to help.
A kind-hearted person on the side of the road immediately held him down and said, "When women fight, at most they'll scratch each other's faces and hair, but no one will die. Why are you joining in the fun?"
After saying that, they detained Lord Wen tightly.
Lord Wen was pinned to the ground, helpless and furious.
Jiang Xinkui had had enough of beating her, so she turned around and sued her mistress.
Lord Wen was so angry that he went crazy. No matter how he yelled and scolded, he couldn't stop Jiang Xinkui.
After the concubine was beaten into a pig's head, she was taken away by the police.
"What do you want?
Do you have to destroy me to be satisfied? "As soon as Lord Wen was released, he rushed to Jiang Xinkui and raised his hand to hit Jiang Xinkui.
Jiang Xinkui was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Another round of crying and complaining about grievances.
It is said that she has been raising other people's children for more than ten years, while her own children live worse than pigs and dogs.
The emotions of the crowd were aroused again, and they all called him a scumbag.
He actually treated his own son like that.
Not worthy of being a man, not worthy of being a father.
soon.
The case was solved and the verdict was made.
The evidence of the concubine exchanging children was conclusive, and she was sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane and exiled to the northern border two months later.
Lord Wen was reluctant to let his beloved suffer the hardship of exile.
Make connections and ask for favors.
Finally, someone told him that if he didn't want to be exiled, he could atone his sins with money.
But the price is ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount. If you use it to redeem a concubine who has exchanged her own child with another, all eight generations of ancestors will be so angry that they will want to lift the coffin lid. If it gets out, people will laugh at you for a year.
Everyone felt that Lord Wen would never do such a stupid thing.
As a result, Lord Wen was really confused.
He began to raise money frantically.
The Wen family has been in business for four generations, and can be considered a century-old family.
Ten thousand taels is nothing to them.
But as the mistress, Jiang Xinkui is in charge of all the money of the Wen family.
Mr. Wen didn't get a penny.
He could only find a solution elsewhere.
He first borrowed money from colleagues, friends and relatives.
However, Jiang Xinkui spread the word that the Wen family would not help him pay back the money he borrowed, and that Lord Wen would have to repay it with his salary.
Mr. Wen's annual salary is only six hundred strings of cash, or six hundred taels of silver.
If one has to pay it back for seventeen years without eating or drinking, no one will dare to lend.
This matter reached the ears of the emperor.
The emperor was furious. During the morning court session, he rebuked him in front of all the civil and military officials: "You are just sitting there doing nothing.
You are the Junior Minister of Rites, but you have no sense of propriety or shame. You are not worthy of this position."
The emperor suspended him on the spot.
Let him reflect at home for a month before making a decision.
The emperor's words were like nailing him to the pillar of shame forever.
Lord Wen was very angry and blamed everything on Jiang Xinkui.
Even after being suspended, he did not rest.
Unable to borrow money, he started selling what he had.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xinkui had been prepared and replaced all the valuable things in his house.
Finally, he took the painting that Wen Yan gave him when she returned home and went to sell it.
In the past, that cat-playing painting by Master Wu Yunzi would have sold for at least two or three thousand taels.
However, some time ago, Ying Zhilin sold several of Wu Yunzi's paintings in order to buy a house, causing the prices of Wu Yunzi's paintings to plummet.
The "Cat Playing Picture" in Lord Wen's hand was just a practice work, so it was even less valuable and the price was cut in half.
Pei'er laughed so hard when she said this: "Miss, do you know? Old man Wen has been busy until now, and he has only managed to scrape together three thousand taels of silver. It's so funny."
Wen Yan also laughed.
Things were progressing pretty much as she expected.
But how could there be another child?
"What's up with that bastard? Is he really Jiang Xinkui's child?"
This incident in the previous life was only revealed a few years later, and there was no child named "Dog Bastard" at that time.
"I heard that the child was very thin and looked a bit like Jiang Xinkui."
Wen Yan frowned, thinking that this child had most likely been killed by his mistress in his previous life.
"The concubine will be exiled in half a month. Miss, do you think Old Man Wen can raise ten thousand taels?" Pei'er was curious but also gloating.
Wen Yan thought carefully while chewing on the lamb chops, and then said, "Since Master Wen wants money, let's help him."
Wen Yan whispered in her ear, "I'll write a list for you later. You can go and inform them one by one and tell them that Lord Wen can help them get official positions. The size of the official position depends on their sincerity.
Afterwards, go to the Wen family again and give Master Wen a message."
Pei'er was puzzled: "But this way, isn't it helping him? What if he really keeps his mistress here?"
Wen Yan tapped her forehead lightly: "The concubine and Jiang Xinkui have a deep hatred. Sending the concubine away like this would be too easy for them.
Leave the concubines behind and let them fight among themselves."
Wait until she has seen enough of the show, then reveal the explosive news in her hand.
Pei'er understood instantly, grinning and taking another lamb chop: "I will follow the lady's arrangements."
Rested for a night.
Wen Yan recovered fully refreshed.
As soon as she got up, Pearl came in with a lunch box.
"Greedy cat, you went out to buy delicious food so early in the morning?"
"I didn't buy it, my brother-in-law brought the breakfast to the door of the store early in the morning." Pei'er opened the lid of the food box, and the aroma of wontons wafted out.
Wen Yan stroked his forehead, knowing that Lin would not be able to calm down.
Wen Yan was extremely busy with nearly a month's worth of work backlog.
But she still found time to prepare two boxes of things and sent them to Dazhao Temple to Ning Tan and Concubine Gong.
Then he returned to Qingfeng Xiaolou with the pile of account books.
She had just arrived at the shop and hadn't even warmed up her chair when Aunt Shuang came to find her and said someone from the Lan family had come: "They're not here to book the yard, they're here to see you."
"The Lan family? Could it be the Lan family that gave birth to the imperial concubine?" Wen Yan frowned. "I have no connection with them at all, why would they come to me?"
"Do you want to see him?" Aunt Shuang asked.
"Please invite them in." No matter what they want to do, we have to see it first to know.
After a while, someone was invited in.
The fate of the Lan family seemed to be unaffected by Lan Hong's affairs, and even the maids were still as arrogant as ever.
After she entered, she threw an invitation in front of Wen Yan: "Here, it's the Lan family's Spring Festival Banquet, remember to come."
