Chapter 253 Looking for Mother
Shangguan Muwan never expected that he came here for the beauty, but ended up leaving with two jars of wine.
The only consolation was that the beauty also left with two jars of wine - Pei Minru heard that this wine was related to Feng Qingsui, so he immediately bought two jars.
"At least I'll have another reason to drink in the future."
He comforted himself.
There was another person who was feeling as emotionally agitated as he was tonight.
Wen Jiming knew that Qi Yuzhen was participating in the Lantern Festival Fireworks Competition, so he took his family to a nearby restaurant to watch the fireworks up close.
Qi Yuzhen's Colorful Auspicious Clouds won the first place without any dispute.
He was just about to invite Qi Yuzhen to come over and celebrate together, but his mother led a girl into the room. It was the sixth daughter of the Yu family who happened to be watching the fireworks in the private room opposite.
The Wen family and the Yu family are old friends. After he divorced Qi Yuwan, his mother had always wanted to match him up with Miss Yu Liu.
He made it clear that he already had a wife and children and would not marry another girl, but his mother just ignored him.
"Since Qi Yuzhen is not capable of being the mistress of the house and is unwilling to marry you, why are you still pestering her?"
His mother advised him so.
"Why not let her go, and let yourself go, marry a woman of equal status, and go back to your old life."
He didn't understand why he was obsessed with Qi Yuzhen, but he knew clearly that he couldn't go back.
"Mom, enjoy your meal. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Not long after Miss Yu Liu entered the private room, he stood up and left.
Mrs. Wen's face suddenly darkened.
"What's so urgent? Why do you have to do it on the night of the Lantern Festival?" she asked coldly.
Wen Jiming said without turning his head: "Mom, people have three urgent needs."
Madam Wen: “?!”
This evil creature.
In order to get out of this situation, he even came up with such a shameful excuse.
Really...
He must have been led astray by Qi Yuzhen.
Qi Yuzhen was born a concubine's daughter, and now she is living in the market, so she must have been tainted by the vulgar air. This evil creature not only stays close to Qi Yuzhen, but also lives next door to her.
It really makes her angry.
What good can Yoyo and Luming grow up to be if they stay with such a mother all day?
"Excuse me." She sighed at Yu Xueheng who was sitting beside her. "Since entering the Ministry of War, Ji Ming's personality has become more and more straightforward."
Yu Xueheng smiled and consoled him, "Brother Wen, your quick words and honesty are the hallmarks of a sincere gentleman."
Madam Wen patted her hands and sighed, "You are so considerate."
How many people would be vying to marry such a generous and gentle girl, but that evil fellow was blinded by greed and didn't even bother to look at her, insisting on circling around the petty-minded Qi Yuzhen.
She must get this evil creature back.
Wen Jiming left his mother and Miss Yu Liu behind as soon as he left the restaurant and headed straight for Ye Hai.
The fireworks workshops are setting up fireworks around the night sea.
At this time, the competition was over and the craftsmen in each workshop were packing up and preparing to go home.
He found Qi Yuzhen and took the things in her arms.
Qi Yuzhen was shocked.
Turning around and seeing it was him, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you here? You appear and disappear like a ghost, and you almost scared me to death."
Wen Jiming smiled and said, "Congratulations, you made the most beautiful fireworks in the world."
Qi Yuzhen thanked him and reached out to take his belongings.
Wen Jiming turned around and avoided her hand.
"I'll be fine."
Qi Yuzhen: "You're holding it the wrong way around, and you're about to spill all my ingredients."
Wen Jiming: "..."
He glanced down and turned the thing over awkwardly.
Seeing that he refused to let go, Qi Yuzhen bent down to pick up other things and said, "Let's go, the carriage is over there."
"good."
After carrying the things back to the carriage, Qi Yuzhen got on and said to Wen Jiming, "I'm going home first. You can go do your thing."
Wen Jiming glanced at the noisy crowd not far away and asked hurriedly, "Aren't you going to go shopping and see the lanterns before going back?"
Qi Yuzhen brushed off the fallen shells from her hair and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I've been busy all night and am so tired I don't even want to move a finger. How can I have the energy to go shopping? Go ahead and meet some more beauties. Don't waste this wonderful night."
Wen Jiming: "..."
He just wanted to hang out with her.
After Qi Yuzhen finished speaking, she asked the driver to drive away.
Wen Jiming stood there for a while, feeling that the excitement was all for others and he lost interest, so he returned to the yard he rented.
Because there was a five-day holiday for the Lantern Festival and he didn't have to go to court the next day, he had breakfast and went to the next yard.
Seeing that only Mother Qi, the wet nurse, and the two children were there, he asked softly, "Is Yuzhen still sleeping?"
Mother Qi shook her head: "Yuzhen went to the suburbs early in the morning."
The suburbs refers to the yard where Qi Yuzhen rented to experiment with fireworks.
Wen Jiming was puzzled: "The fireworks competition is over, why is she still so busy?"
The stunning colorful auspicious clouds were enough to make Qi Yuzhen's workshop popular. Instead of staying in the shop and selling fireworks, she went out to the suburbs?
Mother Qi said, "I don't know what she is busy with."
Wen Jiming took the child from her arms and said, "Auntie, the fireworks shop is doing a booming business, so let me take care of the child today."
Mother Qi was indeed too busy to handle it, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Wen Jiming brought the two children back to his own yard, enthusiastically spread out the picture album he made, and taught them to recognize flowers, plants and trees.
The two children were quite focused at first, but soon became impatient and started crawling around on the table, sometimes even climbing to the edge without noticing.
He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Fortunately, the nanny was watching, so he didn't fall.
Still frightened, he carried the two children to the bed and played with them using their toys.
I didn't do anything, but I spent the whole morning taking care of them, but I felt more tired than after a busy day in the office. What's more, the two children refused to rest at noon and cried for their mother. No matter how I tried to comfort them, it was no use.
"Okay, I'll take you to find mother."
He really had no choice but to take them on a carriage and go to the suburbs to find Qi Yuzhen.
The carriage stopped more than ten meters in front of the yard. He got off with the two children in his arms and walked to the gate. Just as he was about to explain his purpose to the guard, he heard a loud "bang", like a thunder bomb exploding, and even a few tiles on the gate were shaken off.
The two children cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.
His expression tensed and he kicked the gate, but it remained motionless.
After discovering that the gate was bolted from the inside, he said to the two guards, "What are you standing there for? Break the door and go in to save them!"
The two guards, unaware of his identity, stood in front of the door and said sternly, "This is a private residence. No unauthorized persons are allowed. Please leave immediately."
Wen Jiming: "..."
He hugged the two children tightly and shouted into the yard: "Qi Yuzhen, how are you?"
The courtyard door creaked open and Qi Yuzhen walked out.
When the two children saw her, they immediately leaned over.
"mother--"
Looking at the two children crying, Qi Yuzhen took one in each hand and coaxed them for a while before they stopped crying.
"Why did you bring them here?" she frowned.
Wen Jiming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound, but then he thought of the explosion just now and frowned.
He stepped into the yard and said with a stern face, "Let's talk inside."
