Mr. Tian asked Xiaoji to put the wine safely on the table and stood by to watch.
He just stared at Wen Yu and didn't let her move towards the table.
For the rest, he just nodded.
Zhang Jiangqing's men and Li Jiang wrote the documents and paid the money to buy her body.
Mr. Tian didn't ask for much, but Wen Yu still paid double the amount and asked him to keep his mouth shut. She didn't want other people to know about it yet.
No matter what she said, the man surnamed Tian just nodded randomly, signed his name, and quickly had someone help Master Qing out, and that was the end of it.
Master Qing had been tied up for so long that he could hardly walk, so Xiaoji half-carried him out of the door.
Wen Yu gave each of Zhang Jiangqing's subordinates a generous reward.
Zhang Jiangqing originally didn't want them to take it, but the guys took it with a smile, so he didn't say anything.
…
When they got in the car, Master Qing looked at Wen Yu, speechless, tears streaming down his face.
Wen Yu saw a scary dark purple mark on her neck...
Wen Yu went back to Yan Zhu's courtyard and felt that this courtyard was a good place to rent! Yan Zhu was very happy to see them coming and was busy running around.
Master Qing entered the room and knelt on the ground, "Thank you Miss Wen for saving my life!" His voice was hoarse, and he had lost his usual calmness.
Wen Yu quickly helped her up, "We have known each other for a long time, so it can be considered fate. Master Qing, you don't have to do this."
"From now on, I will be your slave and will be at your disposal!"
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is that you have a good rest. Yan Zhu lives in this yard, and it's a good thing that you're here to keep her company."
“……”Master Qing nodded.
"I have entrusted your indenture to Master Zhang to see if he can help you become a civilian, but we will have to wait for some time to hear the news. In addition, the letter you asked me to deliver last time has been delivered. There is a reply letter, but I don't have it with me. I will give it to you next time I come."
"Wuwu..." Master Qing cried unabashedly. He hadn't shed tears for so many years, but now he shed them all at once. "Miss, my real name is Bai Yuqing. From now on, I will follow you and do my best."
"We'll get along slowly over time! Zhuzhu, Master Qing was frightened. You have to take care of her more these days."
Yan Zhu said, "Okay! It's great that Master Qing can live here!"
Wen Yu said, "I've been out for a long time today, so I have to go back. Master Qing, go wash up and take a rest! You and Zhuzhu, don't go out. If you need anything, let Xiao Jiniang do it."
"Why!"
Wen Yu sat in the car on the way home, feeling very satisfied.
Things are going really smoothly. Master Qing is here! Let her train some people first, and then ask Song Shang for money. Once we get to the capital, we can start working hard!
A good marriage, a good man, some money, and then... everything will be what you want.
…
As soon as I got home, the person at the door said politely, "Hey, young lady, you're back. The Qi family sent someone to the door, and the old lady is receiving them. Please come back and hurry over."
Someone from the Qi family?
Wen Yu went directly to the old lady's room.
Sure enough, the nanny beside the lady was there.
Wen Yu bowed according to the rules.
Old Madam Wen smiled kindly and asked, "Did you go out with Mo Qing?"
"Yes, grandma. I have something to discuss with Moqing."
"Mrs. Qi has arrived. She has just sent Madam Cui to deliver two carts of mountain products!"
Wen Yu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Cui."
"Miss Wen!" Aunt Cui smiled, as if the previous unpleasantness with Old Madam Wen had never happened.
Aunt Cui smiled and said, "I was just telling your grandmother that the Qi family doesn't have a separate courtyard here, so they rented an inn in the east of the city. The fourth and fifth masters of the family have been out on business these two days. It's not certain when they will be back! Madam said that she would like to invite Miss Wen to come over and talk when she is free. Our cousin has been clamoring to see you too! I wonder if the old lady can make it convenient for you!"
"Mrs. Qi is unfamiliar with this place, so the Wen family should take good care of her. It's her honor for Yu to accompany the elders. If you need anyone or anything, please tell me directly, don't be polite."
"Yes!" the nanny agreed with a smile.
"My maiden name is Song. We have two small restaurants here. The dishes are very special. If Madam Qi is free, please invite us to come and try them!"
"Mrs. Wen, you are so thoughtful. I will go back with you!"
After a few more polite words, Nanny Cui took her leave.
Old Madam Wen said to Wen Yu, "It's reasonable that the two families are discussing marriage, so it doesn't make sense for them to come to their house to accompany them. However, after all, the Qi family is a distant visitor. When we went to Zanquan Villa, they treated us very well. You...just do it yourself, just remember, be neither humble nor arrogant, and be generous!"
"Follow my grandmother's teachings."
"Go down!" Old Mrs. Wen smiled bitterly as she looked at her back.
Zhang Moqing, that girl, is steady and capable... Her father is a teacher, very arrogant, and people come from thousands of miles away to be his students.
Even Brother Feng of the Wen family is not good enough...
The two of them acted as sisters-in-law, taking care of each other, and could quickly gain a foothold in the Qi family...
Wen Yu's fate... there's no stopping it from getting better! Alas...
Wen Yu returned to the room and asked Xiao Ji to tell Yan Zhu to make some snacks and then take her to see Yuanyuan.
…
In the inn, Mrs. Qi saw Yuanyuan running out to pull two flowers that were brought in, and the smile on her face suddenly brightened.
Wen Yu stepped forward and bowed: "Because of Wen Yu's matter, Madam has been embarrassed, Wen Yu feels sorry."
Madam Qi held out her hand to her. Wen Yu walked forward and held her hand, saying softly, "It doesn't seem like a big deal now. As the saying goes, good things take time!"
She looked him up and down with satisfaction, and Wen Yu blushed.
"Haha, I didn't expect that you, Xiaowu, would have something serious mixed up with your thoughts. Isn't this fate?"
"The Fifth Young Master has been gone for a few days, and there is still no news?"
Mrs. Qi was very satisfied with the appropriate concern: "I haven't heard of it yet. But don't worry, he is doing things steadily! Sit down quickly!"
The two were talking, and Yan Zhu was playing with Yuan Yuan beside them.
She made red bean and osmanthus rice cakes in the shape of rabbits. Yuanyuan loved them very much, but said they were all lumpy and could not be eaten.
The two people argued endlessly about this issue.
Madam Qi looked at the snacks on the table and asked, "Did you two make all of these?"
"These are made by Yan Zhu. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake I make is pretty good, but the others are no match for hers. She can make anything delicious just by looking at it and tasting it. She also often comes up with new products, which are all delicious."
"Well, this girl is very clever and also very pretty!"
Yan Zhu argued with Yuan Yuan very seriously and refused to give in. Yuan Yuan couldn't win the argument, but she didn't give in easily and didn't get angry...
Wen Yu told Mrs. Qi about Yan Zhu's life experience.
Madam Qi was very emotional: "You didn't treat her as a maid, but as a relative or sister. This shows that both of you are affectionate and righteous people. Well... in the future, I will find a good family for her!"
Wen Yu was overjoyed and stood up to salute: "Thank you, Madam!"
"Hurry up and sit down! My family is in the military, and I know a lot of talented people. They don't care about family background! Yan Zhu is beautiful and intelligent, so she will definitely have a good marriage!"
The two of them drank tea and ate snacks, having a great time.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the inn. After a while, someone came in and said, "Madam, there is a little girl at the door. She said she is the daughter of Magistrate Zhang and is here to look for Miss Wen..."
I only heard a girl shouting loudly: "Sister Yu! Sister Yu, are you here?" The voice was anxious and sharp.
