In the study of Marquis Changxing, a group of people were having a secret meeting. They had learned more about the plot, such as that the male protagonist of this picture book was the Third Prince. Marquis Changxing could talk about this Third Prince for three days and three nights, but for now, he would keep it brief and simple. In short, this person was gentle and respectful on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely cunning. In any case, Marquis Changxing, who was straightforward, did not like this kind of person.
If it comes to marriage, he would never let their innocent Yu'er marry such a person.
Furthermore, they sensed a crisis. Putting aside how the Third Prince framed the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, Chuanwen's outrageous and unpredictable manner meant they were doomed sooner or later.
The fact that the Emperor assigned him the task of investigating disaster relief funds is a prime example. If the investigation is successful, Chuanhai won't gain any political achievements; instead, he'll offend many people. If the investigation fails, the fact that he could hear Chuanwen's inner thoughts will certainly be seen as a clever trick to mislead the public.
It was at this moment that Zhang Yuan hurriedly knocked on the study door.
"Oh no! The madam has fainted from anger caused by the second young lady."
Well......
Marquis Changxing sighed in exasperation, rubbing his forehead. When would his ancestors ever stop causing trouble? But it conveniently provided him with a reason for being confined to his quarters.
When Chuanhai rushed over to see Wang Shi in her courtyard, the maid was also preparing to see the doctor out.
After asking the doctor about the situation, the doctor said it was just a case of sudden internal heat affecting the heart, nothing serious, and that the patient just needed to rest.
After seeing the doctor off, Chuanhai asked Chuanyu what was wrong. Chuanyu hesitated, unsure of what to say. Wang, who was leaning against the bed, snorted in annoyance.
"That girl has no respect for her elders; she actually dared to make veiled insults against me in public."
Ms. Wang got stuck again; please forgive her for not being able to say those three words.
Chuan Hai felt that Chuan Wen was not the type to cause trouble. Of course, he also knew that his wife disliked Chuan Rui and the others, and guessed that his wife had probably said something unpleasant.
He sighed, told Chuanyu to go back and rest, and then Chuanhai began to analyze for his wife that Chuanrui and the others were not bad people, that their return to the Changxing Marquis's mansion was a fact that could not be changed, and that Chuanrui would not compete with him for the title.
However, Madam Wang didn't listen to a word she said. Instead, she sneered and asked Chuanhai, "If they really aren't going to compete with you for this title, why are Xu Yan and Chuanwu getting so close to the wives and sons of officials in the capital? Isn't it because they want to steal your connections and compete with you for this marquisate?"
Chuan Hai was taken aback. He didn't know that. After a moment's thought, he realized that his wife must have misunderstood. Chuan Rui and his wife, along with their nephew, didn't seem like those kinds of people.
Wang sneered, saying that she had misunderstood, and that they should just wait and see, because one day their true colors would be revealed.
After a gloomy day, the drizzle finally began to fall. Chuanhai had the maid close the windows, told his wife to rest well, and then went to his study to worry about the disaster relief funds.
After Chuanhai left, Wang was so angry that she smashed two teacups and cursed Chuanhai for being a blockhead who was cheated and even helped the cheater count the money!
The slight chill in the air made Wang cough incessantly. After her maid told her that Chuanwen had been confined to his quarters, her coughing stopped, her liver-colored face regained its color, and even the air that had felt cold just moments before felt refreshing instead of cold. Happy, Wang finished one bowl of medicine and wanted to finish another.
My father-in-law is indeed very perceptive. However, confinement is too lenient; he should be punished severely according to family rules.
The next morning, Wang went to pay her respects to the Marquis of Changxing and his wife in high spirits, but she was dumbfounded when she arrived.
This is no longer the grand mansion of a marquis; it's practically the most bustling street in the capital!
There were stalls selling candied hawthorns, wontons, steamed buns and fried dough sticks, pastries, braised food, and roasted nuts. There were even people doing acrobatics!
Marquis Changxing was still there giving instructions, "Be careful, be careful, don't let your oil splash on my Wenwen."
"And you, and you too! Put more sugar on your candied hawthorns, my Wenwen loves sweets!"
"Hehehe, don't spit out that much fire from your mouth! What if you scare my Wenwen?"
"Oh, Wang Shi, what brings you here?" Marquis Changxing turned around and saw Wang Shi, and asked warmly, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come, come, let me tell you, this wonton shop has the best wontons in the whole morning market. You're in for a treat today."
Marquis Changxing asked the couple at the wonton stall to cook a bowl for their daughter-in-law first, and then told Wang to choose whatever she wanted to eat.
Wang chuckled, "This meal is better left uneaten!"
He couldn't help but grit his teeth inwardly. This wasn't just confinement; it was spoiling her rotten! Even the Marquis of Changxing had never spoiled Yu'er to this extent before!
Wang Shi forced herself to drink a bowl of wontons before making an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and went home first. Watching his daughter-in-law's departing figure, and then looking at the empty wonton bowl and the teeth marks on the spoon in the bowl, Marquis Changxing couldn't help but sigh at how good his daughter-in-law's teeth were. At the same time, he was extremely envious, as his teeth weren't even good enough to eat a skewer of candied hawthorn.
It rained all night yesterday, and the weather turned cool immediately today. Chuanwen didn't want to get out of bed and stayed up until the sun was high in the sky.
As soon as she got up, she was greeted by Changxing Hou with an incredibly loving breakfast.
Chuanwen opened his sleepy eyes and chuckled, "I'm not sleepy anymore!" He waved his hand and said, "One for each of you!"
"Okay!"
Marquis Changxing answered louder than the vendors at the stall. The old lady of Marquis Changxing drank tea and watched the grandfather and grandson playfully teasing each other.
But the next second, ding-a-ling, clang, splat, quack...
Chuanwen tripped on the hem of her skirt and fell. Marquis Changxing went to help her, but slipped and fell as well, knocking over a wonton stall. A stool hit Chuanwen's finger, and her scream startled the jugglers. A large spinning vat slipped from his foot and rolled onto the braised meat stall, spilling braised meat all over the ground. The soup scalded the feet of the fried snack vendor, who jumped and knocked the candied hawthorn stall askew. The candied hawthorn stall crashed down on Chuanwen's feet, and she screamed again.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was in chaos, filled with screams and cries of terror.
In the end, Chuanwen still managed to get one of each, but only with his left hand wrapped in bandages and his right foot in a splint.
Chuanyu looked at Chuanwen, who was still eating with great relish, and asked, "Sister Wen, why aren't you disappointed at all?"
"What's causing your frustration?"
Chuanwen glanced at Chuanyu and her group of girlfriends, and seeing them looking at his injuries with sympathy, he mysteriously leaned closer to them and asked, "Do you know how Grand Tutor Zheng lost his teeth?"
Everyone was bewildered, wondering what her lack of frustration had to do with Grand Tutor Zheng's teeth, and they honestly shook their heads.
"Grand Tutor Zheng is so old, it doesn't matter how he falls, right?"
Chuanyu thought that Grand Tutor Zheng was over sixty years old, several years older than her grandfather, so it wasn't normal for him to lose his teeth.
