Chapter 571: Ying Zhixue regrets
When Wen Yan finished melting the jewelry and came out of the Ministry of Industry, the north wind was howling and heavy snow was falling from the sky.
"It's over. The carriage stopped at 'Yidianmo' and we have to walk back." Wen Yan muttered and was about to rush into the snow.
Then she saw Ying Zhilin coming towards her with an umbrella.
Ying Zhilin was holding a fox fur cloak in his left hand and an umbrella in his right hand.
"Why are you here?" Wen Yan tilted her head and looked at him.
"I left the government office and went home to look for you, but there was no one at home. I found 'A Little Ink' and learned that you were at the Ministry of Works, so I came to pick you up."
Ying Zhilin walked to Wen Yan and held the umbrella over her head: "You hold the umbrella first."
Wen Yan took the umbrella.
Ying Zhilin then put the cloak on her.
After carefully tying the straps, he took back the umbrella and put his arm around her shoulders: "Come on, let's go home."
Along the way, many people watched the two of them sharing an umbrella.
A few days later, rumors spread that Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin were getting back together.
Ying Zhilin told Wen Yan the rumor in a daze: "You've ruined my reputation. Shouldn't you be responsible for me?"
"Don't joke with me!" Wen Yan rolled his eyes at him.
**
Time flies, and the Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
Wen Yan was busy for a while before the New Year.
Each store closes its accounts, divides the money, gives benefits to the employees, and interacts with each other.
However, what consumed her most was teaching Ying Zhixue the etiquette of gift-giving during festivals and social interactions.
New Year's Eve.
The Meng family invited Wen Yan to celebrate New Year's Eve together, but Wen Yan refused.
Although she has a good relationship with the Meng family, Wen Yan feels lonely when she sees them having so much fun together.
Wen Yan also declined the Liu family's invitation and promised to go back to visit them on the second day of the New Year.
Wen Yan, Pei'er and her daughter, and Yuesheng prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together.
There was a sudden knock on the gate.
Wen Yan went to open the door.
Then I saw Ying Zhixue standing outside the door.
"Sister-in-law... Sister Wen Yan, my brother invites you to come to my house to celebrate New Year's Eve." Ying Zhixue has become much more polite since being trained by the two maids.
"No need. We are almost ready." Wen Yan smiled at her and closed the door.
Ying Zhixue pursed her lips and returned to her home.
Ying Zhihai glanced behind her and said, "I was right, sister-in-law won't come."
"You know it again." Ying Zhixue rolled her eyes at him unhappily.
Ying Zhihai raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, my sister-in-law loves me the most.
If I go there, I'll just hold her legs and throw a tantrum, and she'll have no choice but to agree."
Ying Zhixue's expression was frozen as she lay beside the stove without saying a word.
Wen Yan returned to the kitchen and continued peeling garlic.
Pei'er said, "Ms. Ning Tan is really good at this. Look at what she has done with Ying Zhixue."
Wen Yan couldn't help but smile when she thought of Ning Tan's methods.
The first time Ning Tan met Ying Zhixue, he knew that she was hostile to Wen Yan.
From then on, every time she was taken to various gatherings, she would specifically make friends with the girls who were headed by her sister-in-law or stepmother.
Then, we patiently persuade them to talk about the miserable life they lead at home.
How their sister-in-law and stepmother tortured them.
Hearing about those methods and tricks, Ying Zhixue was terrified, as if she was dying again and again.
Later she thought back to Wen Yan's attitude towards her. Although this sister-in-law was not close to her, she never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, and she had never bullied her.
After arriving in Beijing, not only were many clothes and jewelry bought for her, but two retired maids from the palace were also hired at great expense to teach her etiquette and rules.
She also put aside her pride and asked Ning Tan to take her to various banquets and parties to see the world.
In comparison, my sister-in-law is as kind as a living Bodhisattva.
When she thought about her attitude towards her sister-in-law again, Ying Zhixue regretted it so much that she wished she could go back and slap herself twice.
After Ying Zhixue came to her senses, she always wanted to find Wen Yan to apologize and ease the relationship.
Unexpectedly, news came that my eldest brother and his wife were getting divorced.
Wen Yan couldn't help but smile when she thought of Ying Zhixue's embarrassed look.
When the sun sets.
Su He returned home and the reunion dinner began.
After the meal, they prepared tea, snacks and cakes and stayed in the warm room to stay up all night.
"Miss, there is some progress on the matter you asked me to do." Before Su He came back today, he went to confirm it in person.
"Huo Yaoxing has become addicted to gambling and can't quit.
Not only did he lose a lot of money every day, but when he returned home today, he found that his house had been robbed and a lot of gold, silver and treasures were lost.
It is said that the loss was about 100,000 or 200,000 taels.
Even the Dali Temple was alarmed."
Wen Yan and Yue Sheng looked at each other tacitly, and both suppressed the smiles in their eyes.
Yuesheng laughed at them because they stole treasures, while Wen Yan laughed at them because once you get involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, there is no way back.
Huo Yaoxing, you are finished!
After the first month of the year, Ji Chengyuan traveled to the border and took over the Northern Frontier Army.
Before leaving, Ji Chengyuan went to see Pei'er specially.
Ji Chengyuan took out a box of snacks and placed it in front of Pei'er: "I brought this for you, snacks from the palace."
"Thank you." Pei'er devoted herself to the snack, took out a piece and took a bite, "It's delicious."
Ji Chengyuan looked at her lovingly.
He liked the way she ate and thought everything she ate tasted delicious.
After Pei'er tasted a piece of each, she put them away and looked at Ji Chengyuan and said, "You came to see me today, but what do you want me to do?"
Ji Chengyuan took a deep breath before saying, "Actually, my last name isn't Yuan."
Pei'er nodded: "I know."
"When did you find out?"
"It's just a guess! But what's your real name?" In fact, she overheard it when the brother-in-law and the young lady were chatting.
"Ji Chengyuan is the first son of the current emperor."
"Oh, then I have to call you Ji Gong from now on--" Pei'er was stuck.
She was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly slid down to her knees and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Ji Chengyuan's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling: "What are you doing? Is there any need to be so formal about our relationship?"
"There is a distinction between the ruler and his subjects, and the common people dare not overstep their bounds."
Ji Chengyuan helped Pei'er up: "I'm going to ask you a question. You must follow your heart and answer me truthfully, okay!"
Pei'er looked around guiltily:
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Would you like to marry me, become my concubine, and go to the Northern Frontier with me?"
"Be your concubine?" Pei'er widened her eyes in surprise.
She was stunned for only a moment, then waved her hands and said, "No. I am a simple-minded commoner and cannot adapt to the life of a noble in the palace."
Ji Chengyuan felt bitter in his heart. He interrupted Pei'er and said, "Think about it carefully and answer me when you have thought it through."
"I've thought it through. I can't be your concubine."
"Take at least a quarter of an hour before answering me."
Pearl pursed her lips, then put on a serious face and started thinking seriously.
A quarter of an hour later, Pei'er said to Ji Chengyuan with a serious face: "Your Highness, you are very kind, but I like doing business and my brain is not very smart. I can't handle the twists and turns in the harem.
Compared to the luxurious life in the royal harem, I prefer to be a free female manager.
Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness."
Ji Chengyuan took a deep breath.
"I hope you get what you want."
After saying that.
Ji Chengyuan got up and left.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the northern border to train troops.
Huo Yaoxing in the capital city has a growing gambling addiction.
Not only did he lose all his money, he also sold his house and furniture and moved to the chaotic west side of the city with Gu Saisai.
