Chapter 444: Wen Yan became the biggest beneficiary
It seems that the Lan family in the previous life did not hold this spring banquet.
Wen Yan took the invitation and looked at it. Five days later, the Spring Banquet will be held at the Lan family.
She accepted it with a smile: "Please tell your master that I will be there on time."
The maid snorted coldly, turned around and left arrogantly.
Wen Yan looked at her departing back and thought in his heart.
In her two lifetimes combined, she had never had any direct contact with the Lan family.
What is the purpose of sending such an invitation specially?
Are you trying to win over Ying Zhilin, the new top scholar?
If the Lan family had been more respectful to the virtuous and humble, Lan Hong would not have reached this point today.
The Lan family has other plans.
If you can’t guess, then just go there.
With Wen Yan's instigation, it only took four or five days for Lord Wen to get his concubine out of prison.
On that day, he welcomed his concubine into the house with the same courtesy as a concubine.
Jiang Xinkui naturally disagreed.
The main gate, corner gate and back gate of Wen Mansion were all strictly guarded, and concubines were resolutely not allowed to enter.
The Wen family lost all face.
After Wen Yan got the news, he rushed over with a basket of melon seeds and tea to see what was going on.
When she arrived, she saw Lord Wen and a sedan chair parked at the gate of the mansion.
Standing next to the sedan chair was a delicate young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
If it’s not the concubine who was replaced, then who else could it be?
"Father, forget it. Mother doesn't like you having a concubine. Even if you enter the mansion today, life for mother and me will not be easy.
As long as he can occasionally see his father from a distance, the son is willing to be his concubine."
"The reputation of the Wen family is important, father. I don't want to embarrass you." The boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, looked aggrieved, which made Jiang Xinkui look even more jealous and selfish.
Lord Wen's carefully maintained beard was now trembling with anger.
His well-maintained face showed signs of fatigue due to days of hard work and the anger at the moment.
In a fit of rage, Lord Wen simply disregarded the family's reputation and sat at the gate of the mansion, covering his face and crying, accusing Jiang Xinkui of being jealous, sarcastic, and mean over the years.
It was said that she persecuted and tortured every concubine, was not kind to her illegitimate sons and daughters, and was disrespectful to her elders and relatives.
He also dug up Wen Yan's past affairs. All the rumors about the exchanged marriage, rubble dowry, and wedding dress were fabricated and spread by Jiang Xinkui.
In short, Lord Wen exposed all of Jiang Xinkui's scandals.
In this case, Jiang Xinkui had no intention of opening the door to welcome his concubine.
In the end, it was Lord Wen who called some thugs to break down the door violently and carry the person in.
Jiang Xinkui did not show up from beginning to end, but he has already been labeled as a bad person.
The biggest beneficiary of the whole farce was Wen Yan.
The previous stigma and doubts have been cleared up.
Her reputation, which was both good and bad, was reversed at this moment.
Wen Yan ate as much melon as he could and went home happily.
Just as I was about to enter, I heard a voice behind me: "Wait."
Wen Yan turned around.
Then she saw Ying Zhilin, dressed in green official uniform, running towards her.
The setting sun cast a golden glow on him, making him look like a fairy descending to earth.
He rushed to Wen Yan, sweat on his forehead, and panted: "Fortunately, we made it in time."
Wen Yan asked, "Why are you running so fast? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ying Zhilin adjusted his breathing and waved at her.
Then he took out a handkerchief from his arms.
He opened the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing a ball of paper cuttings inside.
After unfolding it, it turned out to be a small portrait of Wen Yan.
"I made this on my own time today. I hope you like it."
No matter how impatient Wen Yan was, she couldn't say it at this moment.
She put the little statue away: "I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it. I'll prepare other gadgets tomorrow." He waved at Wen Yan, turned around and strode away.
He wanted to go back to Huaihua Alley to oversee the renovation work.
After Wen Yan returned home, he put the portrait in the book.
Wen Yan felt satisfied after a day of sightseeing.
I slept very soundly that night.
Things were not so peaceful at the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion.
Huo Yaoxing suddenly broke into Wen Ruyue's room, raped her roughly, and then left.
All action, no emotion at all.
When Wen Ruyue learned about her mother's family scandal, she began to behave herself.
He was angry but dared not say anything about Huo Yaoxing's brutality.
However, the next morning.
Huo San came over with a bowl of medicine and stared at Wen Ruyue as she drank it.
Wen Ruyue knew her situation and didn't dare to resist. She could only look at Huo San pleadingly: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Huo Sandao: "It's good medicine for your health."
Wen Ruyue was immediately overjoyed. She touched her bulging belly and said, "As expected, my husband still likes me. He was just in a bad mood a while ago, so he pestered Jiang Rouer, that little concubine."
Her mother taught her.
To live in a wealthy family, beauty and pampering are not enough.
You need power and money.
Jia is still young, and the power of the mistress of the marquis's mansion will not fall into her hands for a while.
Then she can only focus on making money.
Wen Ruyue pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered her previous life, when Wen Yan cooperated with Tianyi Cloth Shop, making many clever and creative clothes and making a lot of money.
Let Huo Yaoxing see how powerful Wen Yan is, and he will never be able to leave her again.
What Wen Yan could do in his previous life.
Why can't she do it?
She has many more memories than Wen Yan. As long as she makes those popular styles now, she is not afraid of not making money.
Are you still afraid that the prince won't be devoted to you?
Wen Ruyue instantly had an idea.
He called his personal maid and nanny and told them to go out and do the work.
Huo San completed his mission and returned to report: "Master, this medicine is extremely cold. If the Madam drinks three doses, I'm afraid she will never get pregnant again."
"So what?" Huo Yaoxing looked gloomy.
Having children will make it difficult to deal with them in the future.
Anyway, Wen Ruyue is of no use to her, so there is no need to use a child to restrain her.
**
Wen Yan thought that the affairs of the Wen family would end here and things would be quiet for a while.
All grudges and hatreds will be resolved behind closed doors.
Wen Yan even thought about how to plant spies in the Wen family so that their exciting internal struggle could be spread throughout the capital.
However, when she went out for breakfast with Ying Zhilin the next day, she heard new developments.
"Hey, did you hear?
Mrs. Jiang from the Wen family escaped from her home last night and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint."
“It is said that she never refused to let her concubines into the house.
It was Lord Wen who had the intention of making his concubine his legal wife.
He directed and acted out yesterday's farce just to throw mud at Jiang Xinkui and then find a reason to fire her after a while.
The concubine can be promoted to be the wife."
“I felt weird yesterday.
How could a woman in such a large Wen Mansion be so powerful that she could block all the doors? It turned out to be the thief crying "stop thief".
Since Mrs. Jiang knew about their plan, why didn't she stand up and stop it and clarify it yesterday?
Instead, it allowed Lord Wen to succeed?
Madam Jiang can't do that, but there's still her family, the Jiang Mansion."
"It's said that Madam Jiang and everyone in her courtyard were drugged by Lord Wen and then tied up with ropes. In the middle of the night, with the help of a loyal servant, Madam Jiang crawled out of a dog hole and ran to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the crime."
