Chapter 35 Wen Qiyan, you've fallen in love with me, haven't you? ...
As Ji Wanyuan finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Wen Yunqin didn't believe it at first, but looking at Ji Wanyuan's expression, it seemed to be true.
He carefully analyzed the expression on her face to see if she was sulking...
He had known Ji Wanyuan for many years, and his first stirrings of romantic feelings were because of her. He had always cared for her more than anyone else.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, he was still able to discern many of Ji Wanyuan's words and actions.
He could discern her true intentions from her subtle gestures, habits, expressions, and tone of voice.
For example, on the day he returned home, she and her brother lagged behind. When her brother grabbed her wrist, she frowned. Or yesterday, when the Lin family girl came to visit, she spoke gently and cared for her deeply.
He couldn't figure it out yesterday, but now, with her words, he's starting to understand.
Only someone who dislikes their elder brother can smile so sincerely at their former rival.
Looking at her angry face again, and hearing her clear and decisive tone, I realized that this was a perfect opportunity to see her.
Wen Yunqin quickly realized that Ji Wanyuan was not joking, but really... disliked her brother, even hated him.
What exactly happened in Beijing during the years he was away?
Her heart was no longer with her brother!
Thinking of this, Wen Yunqin's heart suddenly raced for some reason, and he was about to ask further.
But then she saw Ji Wanyuan's personal maid, named Emerald, tugging at her clothes, calling out "Miss" in a halting manner, and winking at her to turn around and look.
The two looked in the direction she was pointing, and there stood a silent man with a frosty expression under the crabapple tree.
That man in the moon-white robe with crimson clouds could only be Wen Qiyan.
Ji Wanyuan's heart skipped a beat. "...!!!"
Shouldn't that scoundrel be busy in his study? Why is he here?
She hadn't noticed how long she'd been there. Luckily, she hadn't blurted out anything about the stories in the novel to Wen Yunqin, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as she had let out a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a pang of anger again. Had she said something she shouldn't have?
She said... she no longer liked Wen Qiyan, she hated him.
Ji Wanyuan felt inexplicably guilty, "..."
But soon she became serious, picked up her teacup to take a sip, but she had already drunk all the tea, so there was no tea left.
Why was he looking at her like that? She didn't say anything wrong; was it a mistake to not like him anymore?
After Fei Cui stepped aside, Wen Qiyan's icy gaze fell upon Ji Wanyuan.
She didn't want to look him in the eye. Although she had a clear conscience, she still felt guilty for talking about people behind their backs and being caught red-handed. So she simply looked away, turned her back to Wen Qiyan, and didn't get up.
After regaining his senses, Wen Yunqin stood up and greeted Wen Qiyan, who was walking over.
Wen Qiyan's gaze remained fixed on Ji Wanyuan beside him, and he did not respond to his words.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Wen Yunqin tried to smooth things over, "Sister-in-law—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Qiyan's gaze shifted to him, and he interrupted him with a nonchalant "Yun Qin."
Wen Yunqin didn't continue speaking; he met Wen Qiyan's cold gaze.
His brother looked at him with an expression that was not just indifferent, but extremely hostile.
Wen Yunqin was not unfamiliar with such a look, because he had seen it once before, and it remained fresh in his memory to this day.
That was many years ago. His elder brother called him to the study and coldly questioned him about where he had been yesterday.
He said he didn't go anywhere in particular, just had a casual get-together with friends for drinks.
Upon hearing this, his elder brother said that he was spending his days loitering outside and not focusing on the imperial examinations. He had already discussed it with their father and planned to send him to the army for training.
He immediately retorted, saying he did not want to go to the military camp.
His elder brother remained silent, his gaze fixed on him with the same coldness he had shown before.
After a long while, his elder brother asked him why he didn't want to go. Before he could answer, he sneered, "Is it because of Miss Ji?"
He remembered those words for many years because his elder brother saw through his feelings for Ji Wanyuan and revealed them in a single sentence.
"..."
If there's any change in my brother's eyes compared to many years ago, it's that they've become even colder and more chilling.
Combining the suspicious things he had seen at home over the past two days, Wen Yunqin suddenly realized something.
Back then, his elder brother sent him to the military camp, probably not only because he and Ji Wanyuan had been exchanging information about his likes and dislikes with her, nor just because the Ji and Wen families were at odds, but also because... his elder brother had already taken a liking to her.
They couldn't bear to see him by Ji Wanyuan's side, so they sent him to the military camp under the pretext of helping him gain experience.
Thinking of this, Wen Yunqin's gaze gradually changed. He narrowed his eyes and no longer looked at his elder brother with such brotherly respect.
"..."
Ji Wanyuan had her back to them and didn't see the hidden currents and turbulent exchanges between the two.
She was already considering whether or not to leave.
But Jade, who was standing next to her, was terrified and started pulling on Ji Wanyuan's elbow again, not daring to call her "Miss".
Ji Wanyuan had no choice but to look over.
At this moment, Wen Qiyan spoke, his voice very calm, "When I came over just now, the servants beside Father were looking for you."
Wen Yunqin knew that Wen Qiyan was not lying to him; it was about his appointment.
My father had told me after breakfast that he should come to the South Study to see me this afternoon.
"Thank you for the reminder, brother," Wen Yunqin replied.
Before leaving, he said to the young woman who hadn't gotten up, "Sister-in-law, Yunqin has other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Just as Ji Wanyuan was about to answer, Wen Qiyan's cold gaze swept over her, startling her into swallowing her words. She simply waved her hand and remained silent.
Wen Yunqin glanced at his brother again before lifting his foot.
Wen Qiyan noticed his gaze and met it quietly.
"..."
After Wen Yunqin left, Emerald was taken away by Qinghe.
Ji Wanyuan turned around and found that she was gone, leaving only his Wen Qiyan.
He looked at her without saying a word, his gaze still cold.
She couldn't help but feel nervous. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What did I say to you last time?" he questioned her.
Ji Wanyuan was about to answer subconsciously, but she quickly realized what she was saying and changed her mind, pretending not to hear, "What did you say?"
"Ignore it like the wind, is that it?" His gaze grew increasingly sharp, and his tone became fierce.
Even though Ji Wanyuan was bold, she couldn't help but be frightened by him at this moment.
She paused for a moment before saying, "You...you weren't in the study?"
How come Wen Qiyan arrived so soon after she arrived?
"If I were in the study right now, how could I have seen and heard such a wonderful show?"
What a show! So sarcastic and unhelpful.
"Wen Qiyan, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush with me. I don't understand."
"Also, my uncle and I are completely innocent. In broad daylight, what do you think we would do here?"
"If it can't be done in broad daylight, then it's okay to do it behind closed doors?" he sneered.
Ji Wanyuan felt that while sitting like this was comfortable, she still felt inferior in terms of presence.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
"What do you mean, 'in broad daylight' or 'behind the scenes'? Wen Qiyan, are you out of your mind? I told you to find the imperial physician last time, didn't you go see him?"
Emerald and Green Grass, who were guarding the arched doorway of the flower hall, dared not utter a sound as they listened to their masters arguing.
"If you dislike me so much, why do you want to stay with me?" She had yelled at him at the Ji family's house last time, but he didn't seem to care.
This time... she'll bring it up indirectly again.
Anyway, she just said that she doesn't like Wen Qiyan anymore, and he happened to hear it too.
He was unaware that she had foreseen the future and knew the Wen family's plans.
"Now that Qin Di is back, you want to divorce me, is that right?"
He finally brought up divorce.
Ji Wanyuan was surprised that he understood so quickly this time, and she suppressed her excitement and joy.
But she was unaware that the man opposite her was constantly watching her emotions. Even though she hid them well, he still noticed them in an instant.
The tall man leaned over her, and Ji Wanyuan was instantly forced close to the edge of the stone table. He suddenly lifted her chin and looked at her face.
Although the joy on Ji Wanyuan's face flashed quickly, he still saw it.
"Still pretending?" He asked sarcastically, no longer able to see through it.
Ji Wanyuan was nervous and scared, her full chest heaving.
She slapped the man's hand away, "Wen Qiyan, let me go! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will definitely have my father beat you up."
"After all these years, Miss Ji's ability to distort the truth remains as masterful as ever." He didn't let go, still holding her captive.
Because they were so close, the man's anger, hidden beneath his coldness, was clearly visible to Ji Wanyuan.
Ji Wanyuan didn't quite understand why he was angry.
Because she told his younger brother that she didn't like him anymore and hated him, and he felt ashamed.
But if that's all, Wen Qiyan's anger is a bit too much. Is he that utterly shameful?
It's not entirely true that she couldn't bear the shame. When she was shamelessly pursuing him before, she made a fool of herself and was ridiculed by people in the capital, but he never acted like this.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Ji Wanyuan remembered something Cao Xin had told her.
Cao Xin said that Wen Qiyan still has feelings for her.
Cao Xin also said that Wen Qiyan cared about her, even though he himself might not be aware of it.
I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, but the anger in Wen Qiyan's eyes was so intense that his eyes were red.
After this thought came to mind, Ji Wanyuan felt that his tone was also very sour and jealous.
If he's only worried that she, as a married woman, is getting too close to his brother and ruining the Wen family's reputation, then he might throw a tantrum in front of her. Regardless of when he arrived, he should know that there's not a single transgression between her and Wen Yunqin in their words or actions.
So, ultimately, his unease stems from what she said, right?
Thinking of this, Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but ask, "Wen Qiyan, are you jealous?"
She also mimicked his mocking laughter, retaliating in kind.
"You're so angry, and so bothered by me sitting face-to-face with my uncle, could it be that you've fallen in love with me?"
Upon hearing this, the enraged man froze, as if he had been struck by a stick.
No, it's two batons.
The count begins from the moment he stepped into the flower hall and heard Ji Wanyuan say that she no longer liked him and that she loathed him.
Anger surged through his chest, causing pain in his internal organs.
This caused him, who was always calm and restrained, to gradually become sharp. This sharpness was aimed at his younger brother, and also at the woman who said she no longer loved him.
Although I had previously considered that Ji Wanyuan's repeated rejections of intimacy and her avoidance of him, and her attempts to match him with others, might be because she no longer liked him, hearing it from her own mouth was a different matter altogether.
What made it even more difficult for him was that he should have felt relieved that Ji Wanyuan didn't like him; without her entanglement, he should have felt comfortable and happy.
But... there was no comfort or pleasure whatsoever, and he found that he couldn't accept it.
How could Ji Wanyuan not like him, or even hate him?
What did he do that she disliked? "..."
Wen Qiyan's heart was already filled with turmoil and chaos, but he sneered and said, "Me, jealous?"
"Ji Wanyuan, I would never fall in love with you, no matter who I love. Don't flatter yourself."
He gritted his teeth, as if retaliating for what she had just said.
After he finished speaking, he stared at her.
He tried to find any ripples on her face that might indicate she had heard those words, but he found none.
Ji Wanyuan was neither disappointed nor dejected; in fact, she was quite pleased.
"Really?" she laughed. "That's great! You'd better never fall in love with me, because I don't like you anymore, I hate you."
She smiled again and, looking him in the eyes, repeated it.
Then Ji Wanyuan noticed that after she finished speaking, the man in front of her became even angrier. This terrifying anger overwhelmed him, shattering his usual indifferent and cold demeanor, and causing his eyes to turn red and burn with fire.
Ji Wanyuan realized something was wrong. She scratched him and immediately tried to run away, but he grabbed her chin and tried to kiss her.
Ji Wanyuan had already been forcibly kissed by him several times. This time, she was somewhat prepared. With her other hand free, she immediately swung it away, intending only to resist and prevent him from succeeding.
Can………
Snap!
A crisp slap echoed through the flower hall.
The man's face was slapped to the side, and his movements froze. A handprint instantly appeared on his handsome face.
Not only was Ji Wanyuan stunned, but even Emerald and her attendant Qinghe, who had been listening and watching intently, were stunned. Emerald, in particular, had her jaw drop to the ground and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Her young lady actually slapped her son-in-law, and slapped him so loudly!
Ji Wanyuan realized something was wrong and tried to run, but Wen Qiyan's other hand was holding her, so she had no way to escape.
She stared at the man's handsome face, where the handprint was visible, and added weakly, "It was...it was you who started bullying me." She wanted to say that he brought it on himself, but the words just slipped out because she was afraid of sounding too arrogant.
Wen Qiyan, who had been beaten, remained motionless for a long time, and Ji Wanyuan became increasingly panicked. After all, they were outside. What if... the Wen family saw them and things got out of hand? What if it would have any impact on their Ji family?
She wondered if she should say something to ease the tension, and asked Wen Qiyan if it hurt. Of course it hurt; just hearing it made her feel pain, and his face turned red.
Just as Ji Wanyuan was at a loss for words, the man released her.
He didn't retaliate against her; he just stared at her for a while, then left with a cold face.
Ji Wanyuan watched the man's retreating figure, and thinking of the look he had left behind, she couldn't help but choke on her food.
"..."
Wen Qiyan remained silent as he passed through the arched gate, while Emerald took several steps back, head bowed, barely daring to breathe.
Only after the master and servant disappeared did Emerald dare to run in and help Ji Wanyuan.
"Miss……"
How did things get to this point?
She wasn't saying it herself, but her daughter was becoming increasingly lawless.
They actually dared to openly assault someone, especially in front of everyone.
Ji Wanyuan was stunned for a long time. After drinking two cups of tea, she suppressed her fear and said, "If Wen Qiyan uses this to make trouble for me, then I will go back to my father for support."
It would be best to end up in a divorce, since she had long since given up on being with Wen Qiyan anyway.
Moreover, there has been no progress on the matter with the Lin family yet.
Jade didn't know what to say, and sighed.
In the following days, Madam Wen discovered that Ji Wanyuan and Wen Qiyan were arguing again.
No one spoke to anyone else. Wen Qiyan wasn't even home. When asked what happened, he only said that his leave had come and he should be busy with official business.
When asked again by Ji Wanyuan, the young lady put on an act even better, asking her in return why she thought there was something going on between her and Wen Qiyan, since they had always been on good terms and things had always been like this.
Mrs. Wen, "..."
Having no other option, she went to ask Wen's father.
Mr. Wen was also at a loss and told her to stop worrying about it and focus on Wen Yunqin's affairs.
Speaking of this, the Lin family came to our door a while ago. Besides celebrating, they also had an idea: to arrange a marriage.
Let Lin Nianxi and Wen Yunqin meet.
The two families have been friends for generations, so it would be good if they could get married. However, when Madam Wen asked Wen Yunqin for his opinion, he bluntly said that he did not like Lin Nianxi and told Madam Wen to give up on the idea.
Madam Wen is troubled because she cannot do things that are difficult for others to do.
Besides the Lin family, many other prominent families also came to the Wen family, wanting to form a marriage alliance.
The Lin family kept urging them, and Madam Wen was worried about how to refuse.
After all, it's happened twice already.
Last time it was Wen Qiyan, and this time it's Wen Yunqin.
"Life seems peaceful, but it's always full of problems," Mrs. Wen complained.
Mr. Wen smiled and patted her shoulder to reassure her, but with his back to Mrs. Wen, a look of worry crept onto his face.
well……
Wen Qiyan's side has actually fallen into a dead end.
He pressed him for details about his relationship with Ji Wanyuan. It's been so long!
After a long silence, Wen Qiyan actually told him that this matter was somewhat difficult for him.
Disaster?
This was the first time he had heard his outstanding eldest son say that he found things difficult.
Why didn't you say it was difficult at the beginning, but now you say it is?
Further inquiry revealed exactly what was difficult and where one was lost in the maze.
He remained silent for a long time, but after being pressed, he finally spoke, saying that it wasn't the matter that was in a quandary, but rather that he himself was in a quandary.
So, it's a bit difficult for him.
Hearing this, and seeing his gloomy expression, there was nothing Wen's father didn't understand.
Madam Wen was right before; Wen Qiyan had developed feelings for the Ji family's daughter.
He couldn't bring himself to do it; he was still emotionally swayed by her.
The pleasures of love between men and women, and the emotions between them, are truly difficult to restrain and control.
Mr. Wen never expected this to go wrong.
The Emperor has already questioned him, and he made excuses for Wen Qiyan. It would be good for him to go to the government office to calm down these two days, and let's see how he reacts after he calms down.
During this time, Wen's father had to think of other ways.
At first, Ji Wanyuan noticed that Wen Qiyan was just not talking to her, but later he actually moved to the government office and stopped going home.
She couldn't help but wonder if it was thanks to that slap.
Did I wake Wen Qiyan up? So... is there any hope for a divorce?
The Wen family was quiet these past two days. Wen Qiyan wasn't home, and she couldn't find an excuse to go to the Lin family, so she simply went back to her parents' home.
Madam Ji was naturally happy to see her return. "You seem to have gained some weight since you last had some time ago," she said.
Ji Wanyuan suddenly lost interest in the pastries. "Mother, do you even know how to sweet-talk people?"
Madam Ji smiled and tapped her head, urging her to eat quickly, as these were all specially made for her.
Ji Wanyuan wanted to make a scene, but she was hungry, so she decided to eat instead.
While eating, she asked Madam Ji how things were at home these days, and if there had been anything unusual.
Madam Ji countered by asking if she had heard something.
Ji Wanyuan exclaimed in confusion.
"Your brother's wedding."
"Is my brother getting engaged? I haven't seen him for quite some time. Where has he gone?"
“Something happened in Youzhou, so your father sent him out.”
Youzhou?
Ji Wanyuan thought the name sounded familiar. When had she heard it before?
"What are you sending him out to do? Why didn't you tell me?"
Madam Ji paused. "It seems... to be a very thorny matter. I rarely concern myself with your father's official business."
Ji Wanyuan paused in her chewing as she suddenly realized something very important.
The emperor sent Wen Qiyan to get close to her and use her. What exactly did he want to find out about her father?
The storybook says... the Ji family was powerful and would be the first to be targeted, and the father was a remnant of the rebel party...
She had never thought about this matter before. Could it be that her father was secretly doing something that was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant and disobeyed the emperor?
She had thought too superficially before, only thinking that her mother should convey to her father that they must be grateful to the emperor, not to antagonize the Wen family, and to be obedient officials. But she never knew what her father was actually doing.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanyuan quickly swallowed the pastry. "Mother, why don't you ask Father?"
Madam Ji asked curiously, "Why did you ask me to inquire about this?"
“I…I care about Father.”
Madam Ji pinched the tip of her nose, "If you really care about your father, why don't you ask him yourself?"
Ji Wanyuan thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll ask myself."
There's been no progress with the Lin family, and she's almost four months pregnant. Relying solely on Lin Nianxi is too limiting; she needs to try multiple approaches.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
If this applies to pursuing someone, it's probably the same in other situations.
After deliberating for an afternoon, at dinner time, Ji Wanyuan asked Prime Minister Ji about Ji Lingyue's matter, asking what her brother had been sent out to do.
Prime Minister Ji placed a chicken leg on her plate. "Why did you suddenly decide to ask about your brother?"
"I... I'm just curious. Mother said that a lady from a prominent family came to inquire about my brother's marriage, but Father sent my brother away at this critical juncture. Of course I have to ask."
Prime Minister Ji told her to take good care of herself during her pregnancy and not to worry about these things, as they were all official matters of the court. He said, "What does a young lady like her know?"
Ji Wanyuan was furious, but couldn't find a way to provoke him.
With puffed-out cheeks, she was very unhappy and snorted, refusing to eat the chicken leg that Prime Minister Ji had put on her plate.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Ji said that she was about to become a mother but still had the mentality of a child, "If you don't want to eat the chicken leg, then give it back to your father."
Ji Wanyuan chuckled, "No."
He Xun, who had been eating silently since the start of the meal, suddenly spoke to her, "Brother Ling Yue went to Youzhou to appease the relatives of the Prime Minister's subordinates."
"The relatives of your subordinates?" Upon hearing the word "subordinates," Ji Wanyuan suddenly thought of her father's illness.
His mother said that he fell ill because one of his subordinates had died.
Who exactly was this subordinate that caused my father to be so heartbroken that he fell ill, and even sent my brother to Youzhou to appease his relatives?
Youzhou is very far from the capital; it would take several days to travel there and back, even by fast horse.
Could it be because this person's death was related to her father?
Thinking of this, Ji Wanyuan was startled.
Ji Wanyuan kept staring at He Xun while she was pondering, her gaze so direct that it made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Madam Ji waved her hand in front of her eyes, and she finally came to her senses.
"Mom, you scared me."
"You scared He Xun." After Madam Ji said that, Ji Wanyuan noticed that the man opposite her was acting a little awkwardly under her gaze.
She coughed lightly. "I didn't mean to."
He Xun was usually a man of few words, but he smiled politely, which was a response to Ji Wanyuan's words.
Prime Minister Ji glanced at the two of them, then chuckled and had Ji Wanyuan serve He Xun some food as an apology.
Ji Wanyuan pursed her lips but did as she was told, using serving chopsticks to put a chicken leg on He Xun's plate as well.
He Xun looked at the chicken leg on the bone-jade porcelain plate.
"Thank you, Miss Ji."
He didn't call her Mrs. Wen.
Ji Wanyuan was naturally carefree and preoccupied with other matters, so she didn't notice for a moment.
Prime Minister Ji raised an eyebrow, then called to the crowd,
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
"..."
Ji Wanyuan tossed and turned in bed all night. She felt that things at home were complicated, but she didn't know what to do. She fell asleep while thinking about it.
The next day, Madam Ji entertained friends in the front hall, while Ji Wanyuan stayed in the backyard. Feeling bored, she simply went back.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Prime Minister Ji on his way home.
Upon learning that she was going back, Prime Minister Ji ordered He Xun, who was with him, to escort her.
Previously, Ji Wanyuan would definitely not have agreed.
But she hasn't forgotten what happened at the dinner table yesterday.
He Xun, having been by his father's side, must know quite a lot; perhaps we can glean some information from him.
So she readily agreed and even invited him to ride in the carriage with her.
Upon hearing this, He Xun asked, "Wouldn't this be a bad thing?"
Ji Wanyuan waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, this is the Ji family's carriage. When we arrive at the Wen family's residence, just don't stick your head out of the carriage. The driver will take you straight home."
If He Xun were riding a horse, how could she try to get information out of him on the way?
Jade also felt it was inappropriate, but she couldn't go against Ji Wanyuan's wishes. She tried to persuade her, but was glared at by Ji Wanyuan.
After getting into the carriage, Ji Wanyuan cleared her throat and prepared to begin.
She was so focused on the investigation that she didn't notice He Xun's unease.
With a quick glance around, Ji Wanyuan, still not one to beat around the bush, asked directly, "Do you know exactly how that subordinate died?"
He Xun paused slightly, "Why is Miss Ji asking this?"
“Because my father fell ill when he heard the news of his death last time, and now he’s sending my brother to Youzhou, I feel something is wrong.”
After she finished speaking, she added, "What I'm telling you today, you must not tell my father."
“If my father finds out, then I will…” She hadn’t thought of what to say, so she just squinted at him and threatened him.
He Xun wanted to laugh, but held it back and nodded, "Mm."
Ji Wanyuan urged him to speak quickly, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
"You knew that yesterday?" she said, disbelieving.
"I only found out from someone who works for the Prime Minister."
Ji Wanyuan, “…” So she’s wasted her time again?
Fortunately, He Xun said to her, "If Miss Ji is curious, I can help you investigate."
She suddenly remembered that He Xun worked at the Dali Temple.
"Okay! Well... thank you very much. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
As for how to thank me, we'll talk about that another time.
Ji Wanyuan had nothing more to ask, and the two remained silent for a while.
After the carriage stopped, she instructed He Xun not to show himself and to get off directly.
Ji Wanyuan thought she was being careful enough, but she didn't expect that someone would still see her in the Wen family's attic.
She didn't go to the main hall, but went straight back to the courtyard. As she passed the covered walkway, she happened to bump into Wen Yunqin coming down from the attic.
"Sister-in-law...may I speak to you in private?"
