Chapter 89: Why are you arresting me?
Everyone suddenly realized.
Just now when I was paying my respects to Old Madam Jiang on her birthday, only Wen Ruyue was there, and Wen Yan was definitely not there.
Then what she said just now seemed very reasonable.
Wen Yan blinked twice.
Her beautiful starry eyes were filled with confusion: "What? Is the birthday celebration over already?
Just now, the Jiang family sisters kept pulling me to the flower hall to chat, and no one informed me that the birthday celebration had begun! "
Several sisters of the Jiang family had no choice but to stand up and testify for her: "Maybe the maid got it in the wrong place and didn't notify us."
Immediately a maid came out to admit her mistake.
Wen Yan watched them finish their performance with a cold eye before she stood up and walked to Old Lady Jiang with a wine glass in hand: "Grandma, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and long-lasting blessings."
As she spoke, she deliberately raised her arms high, revealing two bracelets on her wrists, one gold and one jade.
The hairpin on her head also shone brightly with her movements.
It made Wen Yan look extremely wealthy.
A strange girl asked bluntly, "Did you wear all your jewelry?"
Wen Yan boasted proudly, "My husband is just a poor scholar and cannot afford such expensive clothes and jewelry.
My mother prepared this for me because she couldn't bear to see me lose face in front of others."
Wen Yan sighed with emotion: "Everyone says that for us women, it is better to marry well than to be born well.
Marry a good husband and you will have no worries in the second half of your life.
But after I got married, I realized that marrying the right person is important, but having a solid and reliable family is even more important."
Wen Yan said as she snuggled up to Jiang Xinkui, “Fortunately, I have a very good grandmother who gave birth to the best mother.
My parents loved me. Even when I was young and did something wrong and hurt them, they still forgave me and treated me well.
The outspoken girl became more curious: "What did you do wrong?"
Wen Yan sighed: "It's about the wedding dress."
The girl was even more confused.
Wen Yan, however, looked regretful and unwilling to say more.
She just held Jiang Xinkui's arm greedily and looked at her with admiration.
Jiang Xinkui cooperated and hugged her lovingly: "Although you are not the flesh that fell from my body, you are the treasure that I hold in my palm.
Children make mistakes, so how could I be so harsh on you? Good boy, stop talking about those unpleasant things. Come and try this white jade snow dish, it's the specialty of the chef at Chunfenlou. If you want to eat it normally, you have to queue up for half a month in advance."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of shrimp dish and placed it in Wen Yan's bowl.
What a scene of loving mother and filial daughter.
Jiang Xinkui was very satisfied with Wen Yan's performance and became a little friendlier to her.
After that, Wen Yan stopped talking.
Soon no one paid any attention to her anymore.
Jiang Xinkui gave a look.
The maid who served the food trembled.
The soup spilled onto Wen Yan's sleeves.
Jiang Xinkui quickly asked someone to take Wen Yan to change clothes.
It was said to be a change of clothes, but it was just to separate Wen Yan from everyone else.
Wen Yan just found it funny.
Jiang Xinkui's method of getting rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose is really neat and efficient!
Wait until Wen Yan leaves.
The person arranged by the Jiang family in advance came forward to sing a duet with Jiang Xinkui: "Sister Kui, I just heard Yan mention the wedding dress, what's going on?"
Jiang Xinkui sighed helplessly.
"That child thought we would no longer want her after we recognized Ruyue. She was scared, so she deliberately did things like selling the wedding dress just to get us to pay more attention to her."
"That child has misguided ideas..."
"Blood ties can't be faked. How can the companionship and affection of more than a decade be faked?
In fact, the scholar she married was not a bad one.
Although our family is a little poor, why would a family like ours care about these things?
So, after she got married, she separated from the family and lived on her own, becoming the mistress of the house.
As long as that scholar passes the imperial examination and my master helps her a little, she will definitely have a good life."
The ladies nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
An adopted daughter who has taken over someone else's nest can plot for her to this extent.
The Wen couple has done a great job.
Ask yourself, if you were in this situation, you would have been very merciful if you didn't kill the person who harmed your own daughter.
Wen Yan, who had not yet walked far, heard the discussions at the banquet and smiled.
Go ahead and say it.
The more beautiful your words are now, the more severe the backlash will be in the future.
Wen Yan was taken to the guest room to change clothes.
They brought her an old piece of clothing that belonged to Miss Jiang San.
Wen Yan didn't even look at it and changed into her own cloth clothes.
She asked the maid who brought her here, "Can I leave now?"
The maid shook her head: "My aunt said that you have to leave with her."
Wen Yan doesn't want to waste time here.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly pointed out the window: "Look what that is?"
The maid looked in the direction of the sound, and as soon as she turned her head, she felt a pain in the back of her neck and fainted.
Wen Yan put her on the couch, then quietly left to find Meng Chifei.
Wen Yan is quite familiar with the Jiang family.
Before her identity was exposed, she often stayed here with Jiang Xinkui.
She followed the route she remembered and after several turns she arrived at the cross-courtyard. There was a small corner gate there that was not guarded tightly, so she could easily get out.
"Is that Miss Wen Yan?" A gentle male voice suddenly came from the pavilion next to them.
Wen Yan turned around and was stunned for a moment: "Master Qingchuan, why is it you? The banquet in front hasn't ended yet."
Qingchuan.
The son of the Bo family.
She knew in her previous life that Qingchuan liked her.
But the two were not destined to be together.
Later, they became business partners and always helped each other.
Qingchuan gave a bitter laugh: "They started to make me drink, so I took the opportunity to hide away."
"Oh!" Wen Yan nodded. "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. By the way, remember to keep my presence here a secret!"
Wen Yan made a hushing gesture at him, turned around and walked towards the corner gate.
"Wait." Qingchuan called her.
"You have anything else to do?"
Qingchuan said: "There are people guarding the corner gate."
Wen Yan frowned: "It's too late to change to another door now."
I guess some guests have left the table and are walking around.
Wen Yan looked at Qingchuan, her eyes sparkling: "Master Qingchuan, please do me a favor and send the old woman guarding the gate away!"
Qingchuan already had a crush on Wen Yan, so how could he refuse her request? "Okay, I'll help you."
He turned and walked towards the corner gate.
Wen Yan hid behind the moon gate.
I don't know what he said to the old woman guarding the gate, but she left with a confused look on her face.
Wen Yan took the opportunity to slip out from the corner door.
When closing the door, Wen Yan said to Qing Chuan, "Do you want to make money? Wait for me at Tianyi Cloth Shop tomorrow morning."
After saying that, without waiting for Qingchuan's reply, she disappeared out the corner door.
Leave Jiang Mansion.
Wen Yan went to have a meal first, and then went to the general's mansion.
Meng Xiyan looked at Wen Yan who came to his door and couldn't help laughing: "I was just about to send someone to arrest you, but you came to my door yourself."
"Why are you arresting me?" Wen Yan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Of course it's because of Sun Rulan." Meng Xiyan's face changed instantly.
The smile disappeared and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
The hairs on Wen Yan's back stood up instantly.
Damn, it was exposed so soon.
