"Mother. Did something happen to Wen Huan?" Wen Feng asked.
"Let's talk about it when your brother comes back!"
Wu was a little gloating, but she didn't show it on her face. As expected, she saw the old lady glanced at her! Fortunately, if she messed with her mother-in-law at this time, it would be bad! The three of them waited for a long time without saying anything, and Wen Qian hurried in...
The people who went to see him had already told him about the matter on the way. So, he said nothing when he entered the door, just sat down with an extremely ugly face! "Let's discuss what to do!" said Mrs. Wen.
Wen Qian didn't say anything. Wen Feng and Mrs. Wu said they would listen to their mother in everything.
Old Mrs. Wen thought about it, asked Mrs. Wu to go out, and called Wen Yu over.
Wen Qian lowered his eyes and turned his head slightly to the side...not looking at Wen Yu.
"Yu girl, this matter is related to you, so just come and discuss it. No matter how it is handled, Wen Huan can't escape. So, she can't stay!" The old lady set the tone.
Wen Qian shuddered. He knew his mother's nature and methods. Now that the words were out, there was no room for maneuver.
At the beginning, when Yuan gave birth to Huanhuan, she was just a red and soft little ball... He saw it with his own eyes and felt the pain in his heart.
I hope that one day she will be able to sit in my arms and enjoy the company of my parents. I also hope that she will live a happy life.
So, she was given this name.
Is he going to die in his youth? "Mother, is there no other way?" Wen Qian made his last effort.
"Such as letting her become Jin Zi's concubine?"
"Mother……"
"Yu girl, what do you think?!" asked Old Lady Wen.
"Father, if she becomes Jinzi's concubine, my marriage will be ruined. You have to choose one!"
Wen Qian’s head was buzzing…
"Grandma, Wen Huan and I are not the same kind of people. Even if she wants to kill me, I will not easily decide her life or death. I once heard that my father wanted to marry Wen Huan into the Li family..."
Wen Yu looked at Wen Qian, "That was the marriage that father had taken the trouble to find for his daughter. I'm afraid she was very satisfied at the time, right? But later... she had no intelligence or wisdom, and she couldn't judge the situation. She behaved improperly, was cruel and ruthless, stupid and bold, and had no sense of shame. Father, what do you think should be done with such a woman?"
Mrs. Wen glared at her son and asked, "What now?"
"If the Wu Palace sends Wen Huan back, I'm sure they will reprimand Jin Zi. Last time, Jin Zi's father made a scene for his son's... reputation! What kind of a fuss did he make? The dignified Prince Consort's Mansion is sinking into oblivion. How does the Wen Family compare to the Prince Consort's Mansion?"
The three heads of the Wen family looked at each other... That was a nightmare! "Besides, the person who brought the gold was the old Duke. Sooner or later, they and their son will be in big trouble!"
Wen Feng nodded immediately. "That's right!"
Wen Qian lowered his head and said nothing.
"Father, what do you think should be done with her?"
Wen Yu asked Wen Qian directly. Didn't you teach Wen Huan yourself? Then don't hide behind the old lady! "No matter what kind of decision you make, you must make it quickly. Don't wait until rumors are everywhere and the Wen family can't go out before you get anxious!"
Old Madam Wen nodded: "Ayu is right! This matter must be pushed out! If they ask for it first, the girls of the Wen family will forget about getting married!"
Wen Feng was very dissatisfied. "Brother, to be honest, it is really unreasonable for Wen Huan to be raised by my sister-in-law. Although Wen Yu cheated me of my money, we are uncle and nephew and never treat each other as outsiders!"
His words really left Wen Yu speechless...
"But look at Wen Huan, she always looks so arrogant! It's as if she is born taller than everyone else! I find it funny. What is the basis for the relationship between my sister-in-law and her? She..."
"Second brother!" Old Mrs. Wen scolded him.
Wen Feng also reacted and shrank his neck in fear, almost letting it slip! But when he said this, Wen Qian was startled again.
At first, he was afraid that Wen Yu would bring up the past, and now, he was worried that Wen Huan would bring up those things... Everything he had now was hard-earned, and must not be ruined by the past! It seemed that Wen Huan could not be saved.
"Then let's do as mother said and get through this difficult hurdle with the Wen family first. Wen Yu's wedding is just around the corner, and we must not ruin it because of Wen Huan. Then we will have both ends covered!"
Wen Yu smiled secretly: Your love, after all, requires trade-offs!
"Grandma, since my father has made up his mind, we must hurry up. It will be too late when Jinzi's father comes to find us! Also, Yuan has an extreme personality, so I'm afraid we have to think of a way..."
"Wen Yu..." Wen Qian looked at Wen Yu in disbelief.
Mrs. Wen immediately said, "Boss, why are you looking at her? Have you forgotten the way Yuan looked at me last night? Do I have to be threatened by her in my life when I am old?"
"Mother……"
"Okay! You tell me, if you deal with Wen Huan, will Yuan become enemies with you? In my opinion, the future of her two sons is not as important as Wen Huan's marriage to a wealthy family!" said the old lady hatefully.
Wen Feng also said: "Brother, mother is right! You are so good to Yuan! How can she never be satisfied? Look at how I treat Wu. As long as I speak, Wu never says no and is always happy!"
"But……"
"Don't worry! She won't die! Wen Yu is going to get married!" Old Mrs. Wen was impatient.
So, that was settled.
Then, she denied it! From now on, Yuan and she have become a thing of the past...
After taking the silver, Xiaoji told the executioner to tell Wen Huan how her father, who loved her the most, had abandoned her! She also told him how her mother could not protect herself and had a miserable end.
…
In just one day, when King Wu and his family returned from the villa, rumors were already flying everywhere.
Including but not limited to:
"Hey, you said Jinzi has such a bad reputation, why does Prince Yongqing get along so well with him? He takes him everywhere! It should be that King Wu has taken a fancy to the hidden chess piece in the hands of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion!"--said the Crown Prince.
"I think Jinzi and Yongqing have a special relationship. They are particularly... good friends! Hehe, what do you think of them..." - This was sent by Jinzi's friend.
"My friend also went to Prince Wu's villa, and was wondering: Miss Wen was clearly invited by a certain girl to learn the zither, so how did the gold appear there? Did the Princess Wu have any arrangements?" - Princess Huiduan was asked by Wen Feng to tell this.
"Last time Jin Zi made trouble in the East Palace, Princess Wu said that now it's her turn!" - The Crown Princess was also angry.
"Prince Yongqing is a playboy and incompetent. His behavior is even worse than his two elder brothers!" --The eldest son of King Wu, autobiographical gossip.
"The Princess Wu is pretending to be a good person, but she is actually a fool. She can't even handle such a small matter. How messy is the palace? Please invite her to me!" - The Queen Mother was unwilling to be lonely.
"We were all here to visit someone, how could this happen? Oh, luckily my grandmother was not feeling well, so I didn't go..." Some pretentious ladies.
"Alas, what a pity for the little girl from the Wen family. She was quite pretty!" someone sighed.
Of course, some people also said: "The eldest daughter of the Wen family is beautiful and well-behaved. She has a good relationship with the Qi family, but she acts very low-key. Why is it that the second daughter... always follows those people everywhere!?" - Wen Yu forced Qi Wu to disperse.
"You don't even know this? The eldest daughter was born to Master Wen's first wife! Wen Huan was born to his second wife, Yuan! When the eldest daughter didn't come to Beijing, Wen Huan kept saying that she was the eldest daughter! How shameless!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I remember it too! I recognize all of them sisters. To be honest...it seems that Wen Huan is older than Wen Yu!"
"Oh, there can't be anything here..." - The above messages were spread by Wen Yu herself.
Wen Feng was the first to find out and was scared to death. When she came back and told him about it, Mrs. Wen felt that her decision was very wise!
When Jinzi returned home, he complained to his father again, "It was clearly her who invited my son to the appointment! My son is innocent."
His father...Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
"It's just a concubine. Don't worry, Dad will get it back for you!"
Jinzi's wife raised her "son" to be fat and white, and was personally teaching him to recite the Three Character Classic: "When a man is born, his nature is good!" She glanced at the father and son who were confused and sneered in her heart.
Before Jinzi's father could leave, his grandfather came back, was reported by the censor, and was scolded by the emperor.
"I have a hidden chess piece in your hand?!" the emperor asked coldly.
Duke Xingguo thought to himself: Indeed, there is...
"I am wronged! I am old and incompetent, and I can't even take care of my children and grandchildren! Your Majesty, I will return home to retire!"
"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly. "Just this once!"
Duke Xingguo was also frightened, so he went home and scolded his son and gave Jinzi ten beatings.
Soon after, news spread that Wen Huan, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide while the guards were not paying attention.
At the same time, news came out that her mother went mad and fell ill after seeing her beloved daughter hang herself.
Wen Qian became the victim and everyone expressed their condolences.
Old Mrs. Wen suppressed her grief and personally arranged her granddaughter's funeral affairs, and returned Yuan to her hometown to recuperate.
She asked her most trusted Nanny Song to accompany her back, and instructed her in front of Wen Qian: "Once you finish this, you can retire. Keep a close eye on her, don't let her contact outsiders, and don't let her commit suicide. Also... don't let her suffer, make sure she has enough food and clothing. Then..."
Wen Qian went into the house and said goodbye to Yuan.
Yuan already knew everything and made a big fuss. If he hadn't been tied up, he would probably have committed suicide, right?
At this moment, with dishevelled hair and dirty face, he looked at Wen Qian silently. His eyes showed love and hate, resentment and disappointment...
Wen Qian said blankly: "You and Huanhuan are both too opinionated. No matter what I say, you only think the worst. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice..." He looked at Yuan steadily.
"I think you might regret following me. But who hasn't regretted it!?"
This sentence was a much bigger blow to Yuan Shi than Wen Huan’s death… The light in her eyes completely disappeared.
Accompanied by Qi Wu, Wen Yu went to the temple with her uncle's family and performed a ritual for her mother.
"Uncle, although my father has not been directly punished, he has become more haggard and has white hair these days..."
"Ayu, his evil deeds will be punished by God! After all, you and he are father and daughter... Your uncle is very satisfied with this result. If your mother knew about it, she would be proud of you!"
