Although he was long-winded and nagging, he was meticulous and down-to-earth in his work. He completed everything Wen Yu assigned him smoothly.

If he wanted to bring Laba home, he had to have some reason to do so, so he sent him to find Zhang Jiangqing to get a body contract.

Oh, Zhang Jiangqing is so useful! Wen Yu thought without any guilt: It would be inconvenient to go to Beijing without such a person. I have to find a way to get him there too...

When she got home, Wen Yu told Mrs. Wu in a gentle voice that this was the maid she had just bought, named Laba.

Wu had a gloomy face and pretended not to hear.

After sending people to investigate for a long time, they only found out that a person named Yan Zhu lived in the yard. He also bought some girls and hired a master to teach them embroidery and dressmaking.

It seemed that she was planning to open an embroidery shop, but nothing else was achieved. She had wasted several days' efforts, so Mrs. Wu was quite unhappy.

When Laba arrived home, Xiaoji was responsible for talking about the people and things at home. Then Wenyu secretly observed him for two days. She found that Laba was more reliable than the first impression.

Especially, she was able to come and go without a trace. Within two days, she kept reporting news to me...

The information I got was more secretive than Xiaoji's.

But many of them were unnecessary to Wen Yu, such as the second housekeeper and Li Baogui's young wife, who were babbling in the small house in the corner of the front yard...

For example, before going to bed, the old lady muttered to the maid: It is really a worrying thing to get along with the eldest daughter-in-law in the capital. Yuan is thoughtful and has good ideas, and her son trusts her. If things go wrong, it will affect the relationship between mother and son...

After hearing this, Wen Yu laughed secretly: It's not that the Yuan family is difficult to deal with, but your eldest son is stupid! Besides, you two will definitely not get along well, because I won't agree.

She also discovered that Hong Xing was particularly afraid of Laba...so she asked what Laba was about.

Laba scratched his head. "I don't know. I felt that she was acting strange that day. I looked at her and she almost cried..."

Don't think that Laba is carefree and not outstanding at all. But after all, he was trained in that kind of place, and he has suffered a lot, not to mention the sufferings he has endured, and he has also killed many people.

It's just because of his personality that he is not valued. But his foundation is there. He usually has a mediocre look. If he has a strange intuition, he can be sharp and vicious.

Hong Xing knew that Wen Yu was going to marry into a wealthy family. After some hesitation, she regained hope. So she behaved well recently, had good eyesight, was willing to work, and did not run around too much.

But Wen Yu brought Laba back and they became close, which made Hong Xing give up again.

The girl will definitely not reuse herself again.

In the future, when they get married, they won't take me along... At most, before getting married, the mistress will point out someone at random, give me some dowry, and send me off. Just like Xiangshu...

But how many years had he been by her side? Even if he had made no contributions, he had worked hard. Why was it that this was the result? Moreover, she had not listened to Aunt Xu's instructions. How could the eldest wife find a good deal for her? It was no use getting into trouble!

So, she began to think about how to do it without being suspected...

Then, she observed Wen Yu's every move and tried to imagine various possibilities...

Laba was sensitive enough to sense this aura, but he didn't know what Hong Xing was thinking, so he just looked at her intently.

Hong Xing felt that the man's eyes were like a knife that pierced through her, and she was so frightened that she was stunned.

…

That day, Wen Yu received a letter from Song Shang.

Just a few short words:

"It's already been done. It was not easy! Send him to the capital. Don't ask any more questions!! Tell the people in your hands to behave themselves!"

The tone is irritable, and even writing is full of anger!

Huh?! Master Qing's matter has been settled?! Wen Yu's heart was pounding. Although it was just a few short words, she felt how difficult it was. Who was Master Qing? How come both his aunt and nephew were such outstanding people?!

Let Xiaoji find Li Jiang and give Master Qing a message to reassure her.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiang sent someone to deliver the letter first.

Wen Yu took a look and replied with a few words...

After a while, Nanny Song came and said, "Miss, the old lady wants you to come over."

"Laba, come with me!"

Wen Yu brought Laba to the old lady's room, where Mrs. Wu was sitting, looking angry. Wen Jiao was also there, looking like she was going to laugh at the joke.

Among the girls in the Wen family, Wen Wan, who used to love to play the sidelines and watch the jokes, has been sticking close to Wen Yu recently, visiting her whenever she has time. Wen Su has also become closer to Wen Yu, but she is not as shameless as Wen Wan.

"Grandma." Wen Yu bowed according to the rules, "Second Aunt."

Old Madam Wen asked, "Wen Yu, let me ask you, who lives in the small courtyard you rented?"

"Grandma, after Yan Zhu's identity was clarified, Second Aunt said it was inconvenient for her to live at home, so she let her rent a small courtyard to live in. I wonder why Grandma asked this?"

"What are you doing? When your elders ask you questions, you should answer honestly. Why are you hiding something shameful?" Mrs. Wu said sternly.

"Men and women who don't want to be locked up living together is just shameful!"

"Hehe..." Wen Yu looked Wu up and down and smiled. You also know this?

The look in Wu's eyes almost made her jump up! "Grandma, if you have anything to say, just ask."

"Okay. Let me ask you. Liu Lanzhou, did you take it?"

"Yes." Wen Yu replied.

She didn't hide it at all? "Really?!" Old Mrs. Wen was surprised. She didn't believe it even after Mrs. Wu's excited description.

"You...you took it? Why?"

"Grandma, before Lan Fang died, she entrusted her son to me."

"I entrust my son to you? Who do you think you are?" Wu shouted, "Besides, how did Liu Lanfang die? What did the rumors spread? It's not enough to stay away from such a person, but you brought him home!?"

"Second Aunt, you have so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

Old Madam Wen stopped her for a moment, "Don't talk about that for now. Wen Yu, did you really take Liu Lanzhou over?"

"Grandma, that's right. My granddaughter has already agreed with Lord Liu. From now on, I will be responsible for supporting Liu Lanzhou!"

"Bullshit..." Mrs. Wu shouted again.

Old Madam Wen frowned: "You are responsible for supporting her? Wen Yu... Don't say that you are an unmarried girl. Even if you are married, it doesn't make sense for you to support another man. Grandmother can't believe there is such a thing."

"Grandmother, after Lan Fang and Mrs. Liu left, Mr. Liu felt that he was unable to take care of Lan Zhou, so he wanted to send him to Fayuan Temple. You know, Lan Zhou is a patient, more than ten years old, and even meals need to be handed to him. If he goes, he will definitely not survive.

Lan Fang treats me...more closely than a sister."

After that, Wen Yu looked at Wen Jiao, who had a vicious look on her face, and laughed sarcastically: "My granddaughter once promised that if possible, she would help her take care of Lanzhou in the future. You also know about the Liu family's affairs... It was a tragedy on earth. So my granddaughter took Lanzhou over."

Wu said: "No wonder the Liu family came to our house with such a bad face, it must be you who caused it!"

"Second Aunt, I don't understand why you are so excited? What trouble did I get into? Did the Liu family call you over and scold you? Has your reputation been affected by this?" Wen Yu refused to give in.

Old Madam Wen stopped him: "Okay! Why are you talking so much? Wen Yu, Liu Lanzhou is a living person, not an object. Who did you discuss this with before you did it?"

"Although I had not discussed this with my grandmother before, she has taught her since she was young that when you are born in this world, you must be kind and righteous."

Old Madam Wen looked at Wen Yu with her eyes flickering, trying to see the true meaning of her words...

Wen Yu looked normal, generous and steady.

"So, I followed my heart and did it. I also signed an agreement with Master Liu. I signed and sealed it myself. If anything happens, I will bear the consequences myself!"

"Can you bear it? I haven't seen the elders say anything, but the younger generation has this attitude. Not to mention that you haven't gotten married yet, even if you marry into the Qi family, you can't treat your elders in this way." Wen Jiao interrupted.

"Wen Jiao, Zanquan Villa, you ran to the gate of Madam Qi's main courtyard to block Master Qi Wu. Did the elders also ask you to go?!"

"Ah!? You are talking nonsense! Grandma, mother! Wen Yu slandered me!?" Wen Jiao blushed.

"Oh! Slandering you? Do you think I'm the only one who saw that? Oh... I see. No wonder Second Aunt has such a sour face whenever she sees me recently. She pretended not to hear my polite greetings. Could it be that she blames me for snatching Wen Jiao's marriage?!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wu's mother and daughter shouted.

Old Mrs. Wen looked at this and felt a splitting headache.

"Grandmother, before this incident happened in the Liu family, there were rumors that Mrs. Liu abused her nieces and nephews. This was also the root cause of this evil incident.

If the elders are unkind and the younger generations are unfilial, it will inevitably lead to disaster. Looking at Second Aunt's appearance at this moment, it is really hard to imagine where the steady and decent head of the Wen family has gone? "

"Shut up!" Wu rushed towards Wen Yu excitedly.

When Laba stepped forward to block the way, Wu felt like she had hit a wall...

"You dare to do that?! You are rebelling! If I don't kill you today..."

Wen Yu smiled and said, "Second Aunt, I am not a sister of the Liu family. Want to use force against me? You should ask grandma and my father if it's okay!"

Wu and Wen Jiao were so angry that no one knew what they were yelling about...

Suddenly someone announced, "Madam, here comes Mrs. Jiewu from the corner."

Old Mrs. Wen said irritably, "No!"

But he heard a commotion outside, "Don't stop me! If I don't tell my aunt about such a big thing, the Wen family will lose face later, who will be responsible?"
