The image of Chen in my mind was clearer than ever before.
Then he thought of Yuan and the little things when they first met.
After comparing them this way, he realized that there were too many "coincidences" between him and Yuan...
I always meet the beautiful her and always hear her say things that please me.
She was sad when he got engaged to Chen.
I was moved and surprised when she threw herself into my arms like a moth to a flame.
From that moment on, he was determined to create everything for her. He even went so far as to...
I wiped my tears silently, and I didn’t know when was the last time I cried.
He has always believed that the two most useless words in the world are: regret.
However, at this moment, his heart was cold and painful, and he wished that nothing had happened. What was going on? In the morning, he got in the car and went out to pick up Wen Huan.
The old lady also did not sleep all night, sighing...
The sun rose and it was just noon when there was a commotion at the door.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps, “Something happened to the old lady!”
Old Mrs. Wen was feeling uneasy and was startled by the sound.
The man at the front door ran in and said, "Prince Wu's Mansion has sent our second daughter back!"
The old lady's heart skipped a beat. It's bad!
"Where's her dad?!"
"The master has been out of town and hasn't come back yet!"
"Didn't you meet him? Hurry up and ride to find him!"
As soon as he gave the order, two people helped Wen Huan in.
Wen Huan couldn't stand even with her cloak on. The person next to her loosened his grip on her and she sat down on the ground.
The hat fell off, revealing messy hair.
The old lady looked at her quietly.
The servants were so frightened that they dared not make a sound. At this time, a person who looked like a female official came in.
When she saw this man, the old lady looked nervous: "Sir! What...what happened?"
The female official was very arrogant. "Wen Huan, last night at midnight, she had a secret meeting with Li Duoxin from the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, and was discovered by the queen. Therefore, she was sent back!"
Duke Xingguo’s Mansion?
Old Madam Wen's face turned pale, but she was secretly thinking, "Xingguo Mansion? Whose family is this?"
"This..." She was at a loss for words.
"Sir!" Wen Yu came in. She was waiting for news at home: Sure enough, everything went well.
The female official didn't move, her eyes squinted. "Who are you!?"
"My daughter Wen Yu is Wen Huan's sister!"
"Are you her sister?" the female official said sarcastically.
"Yes. I just heard from the adults that Wen Huan was caught meeting someone secretly by the Queen?"
"yes!"
"Sir, Wen Huan is just a little girl, invited by the Wu Wang Mansion to visit the Wu Wang Mansion's courtyard! I don't know what the rules of the palace are. But even for a small family like the Wen family, it is impossible for a girl to leave the courtyard in the middle of the night. I don't know how the palace provided the opportunity and venue for a private meeting!"
"How outrageous!" the female official became anxious.
Old Mrs. Wen was shocked. She was so bold to say that.
"Sir, you sent the person back like this, and you don't allow us to ask a few more questions? Although the Wen family is not a high-ranking family, they are also a law-abiding family. Moreover, the guests invited by the Wu Palace must be of noble character and clean background. How could such a thing happen in such a good life?!"
The female official said: "If she is caught red-handed with solid evidence, will Your Majesty still wrongly accuse her?"
"Your Majesty's character is of course a role model for women. She would never do such a thing! So, it's even more strange! Maybe there is a misunderstanding, or someone may have framed her. I hope Your Majesty will investigate further!"
"Humph! I saw it with my own eyes, what else is there to investigate?"
"Last time in the East Palace, everyone has heard about what Li Duojin, also known as Jin Zi, did. He was escorted out of the Duke's Mansion by people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could the Wu Palace invite someone who has done such evil things? Moreover, he appeared in the place where boys and girls sleep at night..."
Gold is good for both men and women, so this is even harder to hear! The female official felt a little guilty: "Of course the queen will investigate further! The Wen family, please ask your own daughter as well!"
When Old Lady Wen heard the word "gold", she remembered that this was the person who owned the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion!
Oh my God! How did she get involved with this devil?
Old Madam Wen was both ashamed and angry. She suddenly went up to him and slapped him twice.
Wen Yu stood aside and admired.
Wen Huan was beaten and woke up from his daze, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Look at the old lady, then look at Wen Yu.
"Tell me the truth, what's going on!?" the old lady asked.
Wen Huan just stared at Wen Yu without saying anything.
Old Madam Wen was not lenient with her, and she slapped her right away: "Why are you looking at her? Tell me! Otherwise..." She pulled a hairpin from her head and said, "If you ask me again, I'll pierce your eyes!"
Wen Huan shuddered and came to his senses: "Grandma, I don't know what's going on..."
"What do you mean you don't know? You don't want to tell me?" The old lady raised her hand.
"I'll tell you..." Seeing her grandmother about to take action, Wen Huan gave in. "But I really don't know what's going on... I want to be the concubine of Prince Yongqing. However, he clearly has a good impression of me, but there has been no news. That day, I saw him talking to Yan Zhu, and he seemed to be trying to please her. So, I got anxious. I wanted to take this opportunity to express my feelings to him."
"So I wrote a letter, using my left hand... and asked him to meet me in the garden. I put a zither there and played it. And then, somehow, what came was gold!"
"When he saw me..." Wen Huan cried, "He started talking nonsense. I felt something was wrong and wanted to run away. But he pulled me and tore my sleeves. Just like that... my clothes were in disarray and I was discovered."
"Have you lost your virginity?" Old Lady Wen asked coldly.
"No! Really grandma, I didn't!" Wen Huan explained anxiously.
"What did the princess and the others look like when they saw you?!"
Wen Huan's face turned red with embarrassment.
Jinzi had already pulled off her coat...
Inside, she wore a beige peony tube top, revealing her two beautiful arms...
Old Madam Wen shook her head. "Hong Xing wanted to poison Wen Yu. Was it you who ordered it?!"
Wen Huan neither admitted nor denied it, he just stared at Wen Yu blankly. "Wen Yu, are you happy now?"
"I'm glad I'm alive!"
"Grandma, Huanhuan is wrong! Find a way to save your granddaughter!"
Old Mrs. Wen sat there, looking dejected. Save her? It would be difficult for Wen Qian to escape from this.
“Take him away!”
The maid helped Wen Huan up and took him away.
"Mom! Go and deliver the letter to my mom!" Wen Huan's voice came...
"Wen Yu, what do you say we should do?"
"Grandmother, you should think about how father can get out of this matter! Letting your own daughter meet the prince of the Duke's Mansion in the middle of the night and sell her body to the rich and powerful to seek a future for herself. This is not very pleasant to hear!"
Sure enough, others would say so!
Old Madam Wen was so angry that she really wanted to kill Yuan and Wen Huan.
"If the Qi family doesn't care about this and still welcomes me in...my grandfather might also come to Beijing...no matter who gets into trouble, we can't let anything happen to my father."
Wen Yu felt happy when she saw the old lady's expression.
Originally, she planned to dig up old accounts and deal with Wen Qian as well.
But after talking to Jiang Pingting last time, he changed his mind. He still needs to use this person...
Just make sure he doesn't feel bad!
"Grandma, we should be thankful that the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion has a bad reputation. But the bad thing is that his family has power but no shame. If Jinzi's father comes to our house to make trouble like he did to the Prince Consort's Mansion, the Wen family will be disgraced! Of course, this is just my granddaughter's superficial opinion. The specifics will still be decided by grandma. At worst, we will return home in disgrace..."
Wen Yu stood up and left.
Go back to hometown?
Old Mrs. Wen's mind quickly went through everything happening in the capital: the Zhang family, the Song family, the Qi family, and the Cui family.
The palace, the shop...
When she wrote to the old man, her proud tone...
Is it all over?! Happiness and glory come quickly, but are about to be lost?
It really feels like a dream.
