Chapter 557: Endure with hatred
Pei Qiuyan has a strong ability to solve cases. If he gets involved in this case, everything will be uncovered in less than two days.
The fact that Ji Xiangyun and the other two had plotted murder could no longer be concealed.
Wen Yan is the Meng family's lackey, and the Meng family will take the opportunity to make trouble.
Her eldest brother is still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice...
Lan Fei gritted her teeth and compromised: "It's just a small misunderstanding between the younger generations, there's no need to take it seriously!"
"Mother!" Ji Xiangyun shouted anxiously.
The three of them have suffered such a great injustice, how can they just let it go like this?
Lan Fei grabbed her arm and said sternly, "Don't be willful."
Ji Xiangyun snorted unwillingly.
Concubine Lan relaxed.
That's the end of the matter.
Wen Yan and his wife said goodbye and left.
When he left, the emperor gave Ying Zhilin a small sedan chair and had someone carry him out of the palace.
The mother and daughter of the Meng family also left the palace together and escorted them to their doorstep.
Wen Yan said goodbye to the two of them: "Today is thanks to my sister and stepmother. It's getting late, you should go home and rest early."
Mrs. Bai glanced at Ying Zhilin and told him, "Go home and take good care of him."
The Meng family's carriage slowly left.
Wen Yan helped Ying Zhilin back to the room.
He closed the door and helped Ying Zhilin lie down on the bed.
Ying Zhilin, who looked weak just now, rolled over on the bed neatly.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at Wen Yan with sparkling eyes, as if saying: Praise me, praise me quickly!
Wen Yan pointed at the bloodstains on his clothes and said, "This is too clumsy. Fortunately, the emperor and empress protected us, otherwise we would have been punished for deceiving the emperor today.
But why did you carry this blood bag with you? What did you intend to do with it?
Ying Zhilin said confidently, "I did this because I was sure. As for the blood bag, just don't worry about it."
In fact, it was Ji Chengyuan's people who secretly stuffed it into his hands.
Wen Yan frowned. The palace was really not a good place to stay. She would try to go there less often in the future.
However, she felt very funny when she thought about how Ji Xiangyun and the other two hated her so much but couldn't get rid of her.
After washing up, they went to bed.
No words were spoken that night.
The first day of the first lunar month.
Wen Yan woke up to the sound of firecrackers.
She opened her hazy eyes.
Ying Zhilin came forward and kissed her on the lips: "Wen Yan, Happy New Year, everything goes well, harmony and happiness, and abundant wealth..."
Then, he stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.
He was already dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with his long hair tied in a loose half-bun, which fell to his waist as he leaned over.
His eyes were bright and her face was reflected in them.
On the first day of the new year, Wen Yan was very happy to see such a beauty as soon as he opened his eyes.
Her heart moved, and a warm current flowed into her heart, making her feel warm.
She took the red envelope and kissed him back on the lips: "Ying Zhilin, I like you."
Ying Zhilin was stunned for a moment.
Then he hugged Wen Yan, buried his face in her neck, and did not move.
Wen Yan patted his shoulder gently: "What's wrong? Are you under a spell?"
"Don't move. What if it's just my hallucination? You'll wake me up." Ying Zhilin buried his head in the crook of her neck and made a muffled sound.
Wen Yan gently stroked his inky black hair: "I said it, it's absolutely true."
Ying Zhilin then looked up at her cautiously: "You are not trying to coax me."
Wen Yan looked at him amusedly, "No."
"Then how do you prove it?"
"How do you want me to prove it?"
Ying Zhilin's hand had already slipped into her underwear: "This is how you prove it."
Wen Yan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "You're going to have sex in broad daylight right after waking up?"
However, she did not stop it.
Ying Zhilin gently sucked her earlobe, neck, and collarbone...
There was a knock on the door outside.
Ying Zhihai asked from outside the door, "Brother, Sister Pei'er asked me to ask if my sister-in-law is awake yet? Should we put the dumplings in the pot now?"
The passionate Ying Zhilin suddenly relaxed half of his desire, and fell on Wen Yan, letting out a helpless laugh.
Wen Yan also suppressed her smile and said to Ying Zhihai, "I'm up, Xiaohai, let Pei'er get into the pot."
"Okay!" There were sounds of distant footsteps outside the house.
Wen Yan pushed Ying Zhilin away and got up by herself.
Because Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin were not of high enough rank, they did not need to enter the palace to pay their respects on New Year's Day.
After breakfast, Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin took their families back to Songshan Village.
Ying Zhilin would not open the government office until after the Lantern Festival, so they stayed in the village for quite a while.
After returning to the village, Wen Yan’s greatest pleasure was staying in the Bagua Pavilion.
While watching the aunts doing the work at "Tianyi Cloth Shop", I listened to them talking about the gossip in the village.
What surprised Wen Yan the most was that Xianglian was pregnant.
"She worked in my shop every day, and I didn't even notice."
The aunts laughed and said, "It's not appropriate to tell anyone about it three months ago. We just found out about it."
The next day, Wen Yan went to Xianglian's house to visit her.
Xianglian's mother-in-law treated her with brown sugar water and snacks.
Wen Yan plans to give Xianglian a few more days off so that she can take good care of the baby.
Xianglian disagreed.
She said the work at Qingfeng Xiaolou was not tiring, and she also mentioned that pregnant women in the village were still busy working even when they were about to give birth. How could she be so delicate?
Wen Yan didn't force it.
It was a surprise to discover that Xianglian's idiot husband also got the job of trimming furs.
Although he is stupid, he is more focused than most people. He has good skills and is very fast.
Seeing that his family's life was getting better and better and they were happy because of her, Wen Yan felt very happy.
She sat for a while and then left.
She couldn't wait to go home and share her happiness with Ying Zhilin.
When I got home, I found out that he was in the study.
His cousin Ying Qizhen is here.
When Wen Yan went to meet and greet him, he saw Ying Qi crying on Ying Zhilin's shoulder.
Ying Qizhen quickly wiped away his tears, his face flushed red, and he greeted Wen Yan awkwardly.
Wen Yan almost didn't recognize him.
The calm and upright young man who had quietly come to report the news had changed a lot. He had lost a lot of weight, his eyes revealed fatigue, and his eye sockets were red.
Seeing this, Wen Yan felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
Ying Qizhen stayed for more than an hour before leaving.
Ying Zhilin returned to his room and took the initiative to tell Wen Yan, "I gave Xiaozheng two hundred taels of silver. I will give him another fifty taels every year in the future."
"Hasn't he already passed the examination for the scholar and is preparing to take the examination for the juren?"
It turned out that the people from the old Ying family were sucking blood from him alone.
Not only can I not concentrate on studying, but I am also tortured to the point of being listless.
He is the only normal person left in the old Ying family, and he has a good relationship with Ying Zhilin.
Ying Zhilin couldn't bear to see him die like this, so he recommended a college in another place to him and funded his tuition.
Ying Zhilin finished his story and said at the end: "I will use your money to support him."
After all, his annual salary was only two hundred taels.
Everyone wants to stay and buy things for Yanyan.
Wen Yan didn't care about spending this little money.
But she didn't expect Ying Qi to walk so fast.
The next day, people from the Lao Ying family came to their door and asked for the person!
