Chapter 532: All the energy is spent on me
When Wen Yan arrived at "Jingming Tower", the expression on her face seemed to have returned to normal.
She greeted everyone with a smile and started her day's work.
Today, Huang Yinger brought new goods.
In addition to some ornaments and handicrafts, there are also some elegant items.
For example, glass paperweights, glass brushes, glass brush washers, tea sets, etc.
Perhaps it was because of the poems and paintings of the poetry club yesterday that most of the guests today were scholars or those who were just trying to show off their knowledge.
Today's customers are not as crazy as yesterday's, but they are still coming in an endless stream.
The store wasn't too busy.
Wen Yan handed over the affairs of the store to Pei'er and Suhe.
The two men led two young eunuchs who were dressed in disguise and did a very good job.
Wen Yan locked herself in the accounting office.
She wasn't as calm as she looked.
The son's swollen body.
Huo Yaoxing described the humiliation before his death.
The unforgettable scenes kept flashing back before her.
Huo Yaoxing said that those were all done by Gu Saisai.
She only half believed it.
A ruthless person like Huo Yaoxing would do anything for his future.
In my previous life, I had nothing else to help him except money.
After returning to the capital, money no longer played a big role in his career.
He needs connections and power more.
Gu Saisai's mother is the emperor's sister and the empress dowager's most beloved child.
Gu Saisai is naturally the apple of everyone's eye.
The Gu family is rich and powerful.
As long as he can make Gu Saisai happy, he can get any support and promotion he wants.
Marrying Gu Saisai was the most profitable option chosen by Huo Yaoxing.
That's why he abandoned them and their son without hesitation.
Since he has chosen to sacrifice his own son, why would he pretend to protect him?
He would only stay by the lake with Gu Saisai and have fun together.
In order to curry favor with Gu Saisai, he even complained that his son's performance was not trying hard enough.
As for Wen Ruyue.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside the dragon's bed?
No matter whether it was Gu Saisai or Huo Yaoxing who ordered her around, her fate would be death.
What a good case of while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
They are really calculating.
Kill Wen Yan to make room for Gu Saisai as the main wife, and at the same time get rid of the annoying concubine.
The son died, and Gu Saisai's child was the eldest son.
“Hahahaha…” Wen Yan laughed softly, and as she laughed, tears began to flow. “What kind of beast did I marry in my previous life?”
But she quickly wiped away her tears and sat up straight.
Huo Yaoxing, you are paving the way with the lives of my mother and me, right?
It turns out that she only wants to ruin your future, make you poor and miserable all your life, and never achieve your goals.
This time, she changed her mind.
She wanted Huo Yaoxing to rot and stink in the gutter!
As for Gu Saisai.
The princess is high and mighty, and is insolent.
Doesn't she do whatever she wants and take everything she sees?
Wen Yan exerted a little force and broke the pen in her hand: "I will pull you down from the altar, step you into the mud, and let you accompany Huo Yaoxing for the rest of your life."
Even though there weren't many customers in the store today, all the goods were still cleared out by mid-afternoon.
Wen Yan counted the accounts and didn't expect that he still made more than 18,000 taels of silver today.
Wen Yan handed the silver and account book to the man in black and took them into the palace.
She also finished work early and went home.
On the way, I took a detour to buy gourd chicken and plum wine.
The house is very lively.
The relatives who went out for a trip came back early.
Wen Yan was in a bad mood. After greeting them, she said, "Don't call me for dinner." Then she went back to her own backyard.
Zhang Gan's mother said a little awkwardly, "The child is ignorant, please don't mind it, my two relatives."
Grandma said, “How can I not be sensible?
The child is in charge of such a big business, and the people who come and go are either rich or noble. The child must be exhausted after a day of socializing."
Wen Yan collapsed in the rocking chair, eating gourd chicken and drinking.
The sky gradually darkened.
The gate creaked open.
It was Ying Zhilin who had just returned home from government office.
When he walked under the eaves, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
He didn't even have time to take off his official robe as he squatted beside Wen Yan.
Her face was flushed and she smelled of plum wine.
He wanted to take the wine glass from her hand: "Why do you drink so much?"
Wen Yan retracted her hand and dodged him: "Don't worry, I'm not drunk."
Ying Zhilin coaxed, "I know you're not drunk, but drinking too much is bad for your health. Can we stop drinking?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "No. I'm in a bad mood and want to drink."
Ying Zhilin: "Then I'll drink with you."
Wen Yan shook the wine jar to make sure there was still half a jar left before raising three fingers to Ying Zhilin: "You are only allowed to drink three cups."
"Wait for me, I'll go get a wine glass." Ying Zhilin got up and went back to the house.
After changing out of his official robes, Ying Zhilin came out with a teacup and sat in the rocking chair.
Wen Yan moved a few times, adjusted to a comfortable position, and rested her head on Ying Zhilin's shoulder.
Wen Yan handed the cup to him: "Fill it up for me."
Ying Zhilin Yiyan filled her glass.
Wen Yan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then handed it over.
Ying Zhilin poured wine while observing her expression: "Are you in a bad mood? Did someone cause trouble in the store today?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "With such a big backer in the store, who would be so blind as to cause trouble?"
"So you're still drinking here?"
Wen Yan smiled, did not answer, but tilted her head and looked at him.
Ying Zhilin is indeed very handsome.
Wen Yan couldn't take her eyes off him.
Huo Yaoxing's provocative words suddenly rang in her ears: "Gu Saisai has fallen for Ying Zhilin.
Between a bright future and a money-grubbing woman, who do you think he will choose?
Oh, by the way, you are a woman who has been slept with by someone else.
Tell me, if I tell Ying Zhilin that I not only slept with you but also gave birth to a child for you, do you think he will still want you?
Wen Yan didn't remember how she fought back against Huo Yaoxing.
At this moment, she just stared at Ying Zhilin's profile and asked naturally, "Ying Zhilin, if I had been married to someone else and had given birth to someone else's child, what would you do?"
Ying Zhilin thought seriously for a while and asked her, "Is your ex-husband as good-looking as me? Does he have a good figure like me?"
Wen Yan: “Ah?”
Ying Zhilin analyzed seriously, "I think your criteria for choosing a man are rather superficial, focusing particularly on looks and figures."
"How could I!" Wen Yan immediately denied it.
Ying Zhilin raised his head and said, "Why not? Before you decided to accept me, you often stared at my face and figure in a daze.
You decided to try it with me because I'm great in bed, right? "
Wen Yan: “…”
Good man, he knew it so early!
Her face flushed red and she looked away.
Ying Zhilin lifted her chin and asked her to look at him: “As for the child.
Giving birth is a near-death experience for women. The fact that you have already given birth to a child means that you are in good health and the risk of childbirth is not high.
Of course, I'm not forcing you to give birth to a child for me.
If you want to have a baby, you can have one; if you don’t want to have one, you don’t have to.
Having Xiaohai is enough to carry on the family line.
Besides, I want you to devote all your energy to me rather than raising a child with you."
After Ying Zhilin finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed her.
