"Mother."
Mrs. Qi had just finished her lunch. Seeing her come back, she quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, "Ayu, have you eaten? How is Second Aunt at home?"
"Let's not talk about her for now! I came from the store and brought some pig's feet, they're still hot! Let's eat together!"
Mrs. Qi looked at Wen Yu's beautiful little daughter, and her heart was filled with joy. "Okay! Let me try it. Is it made by Zhu Zhu?"
"Yes! Fermented bean curd..." Wen Yu opened the box and scooped a piece into Mrs. Qi's bowl.
Mrs. Qi tasted it and found it salty, fragrant, soft and glutinous, melting in her mouth.
"Zhuzhu is really good at craftsmanship."
"Well, she especially likes to eat these sticky and chewy things. So, you can see her little face is so smooth!"
"Then let's eat more in the future..."
After they finished their meal, the food was cleared away and tea was served. Then Wen Yu let out a long sigh.
"What's the matter?"
"Ah... I want to tell you, but it's really hard to say it."
"Is there anything you don't want to tell me?"
"Mother, Princess Huiduan, do you know?"
"Of course I know! She is younger than me, and we had a pretty good relationship when we were still young. Later, she became a widow, and she was afraid of causing trouble to others, so she didn't try to meet up with me. And after I got married, I was unhappy and didn't have the heart to think about her. So we didn't see each other much anymore."
"What kind of person is she?"
Madam Qi laughed, "I looked straightforward when I was young, but in fact, I couldn't get out of the circle. But she is really a bit unconventional. She is talented and has good ideas. She only cares about herself and doesn't care about other people's gossip. I care about Xiaowu and his brothers, no matter what they are, and I arrange everything in detail. But she and her son are just like ordinary acquaintances, without the saying of loving mother and filial son! They both do whatever they want! Why did you mention her?"
"Princess Huiduan's husband is a good friend of the Moqing family. She is also very close to Madam Zhang. I heard that... a few months ago, my second uncle first met Princess Huiduan at the Zhang family. Later, they met again in our shop... and then, hehe, the two of them ate and drank tea, drank wine and watched dances, and they got along quite well. Now, my second uncle wants to divorce my second aunt... and wants to marry the princess!"
"What? There is such a thing?!" Mrs. Qi actually laughed out loud.
Wen Yu blushed, "Mother...my daughter-in-law is struggling with this!"
"What are you struggling with? Ouch..." She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
Wen Yu quickly wiped it for her and said, "Isn't this a good thing? If others heard that this happened in my daughter-in-law's family, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?" She pouted after saying that.
"What does it have to do with them? If anyone wants to gossip, just send them to Huiduan. If you have the guts, say it to their face! You can't twist their mouths!"
"Oh, that's a good idea."
"Tell us what happened quickly!" Mrs. Qi was very excited.
"It is said that Second Uncle fell in love with her and confessed his feelings to the princess. The princess said that you are qualified to say this to me first, and I will consider it. Look, Second Uncle went home and wanted to divorce Second Aunt! The whole family couldn't persuade him! Grandmother was worried, Second Aunt was sad! I was just afraid that something bad would happen, so I went to persuade her."
"Oh my, this Huiduan... really is something... He is so old, but he is still messing around with this!"
Although Madam Qi was sighing, Wen Yu could tell: Mother-in-law is envious?! No, she must have seen it wrong! "Grandmother has high expectations for my father, but dotes on my second uncle. He has no fame and does not work. At least he has the family wealth to support him, and he lives a carefree life. He plays musical instruments, sings, plays chess, speaks eloquently, and has good handwriting. He is good at everything. My second aunt is a person who puts her husband first, and whatever my second uncle says is what she does. She never interferes! But this matter... Let's not talk about what others will say. Just say, if it happens, if my second uncle dares to do anything wrong again in the future, he will be punished badly!?"
Madam Qi snorted, "Everyone has their own destiny! Huiduan and your uncle were destined to be together, so it's only natural that they don't live happily together. Similarly, your uncle divorced his first wife for her and ignored his children. If Huiduan makes trouble in the future, he won't have anything to blame."
"Oh, mother, you are so insightful!"
"You don't know, the princess's son is not someone you can easily mess with!"
"Really?" Wen Yu smiled...
…
Lord Wen was very angry because he arrived a little late and the pig's hoof flower belonged to someone else.
Yan Zhu was surprised: "It's past your usual time!"
"You can't come after a certain time!? Besides, even if I can't come, I will send Hu Zi to get it."
"Well, I've promised it to Mu Bo and his brother, so why don't you share it with them?"
Lord Wen was not happy, "But I just heard that you let Qi Wu's wife take a part of it?"
"That's enough. I also made glutinous rice balls."
"Well... okay." Lord Wen agreed reluctantly.
Mu Bo and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, then put down their chopsticks and picked up the pig's trotters that Mu Ling brought over.
Master Wen sat back in his old place, "Zhuzhu, would you like to eat something too?!"
"Zhuzhu has already eaten!"
"Then sit here and talk."
"Okay!" Yan Zhu sat down with sparkling eyes.
"You have something to do today." Wen Ruo smiled lightly.
"Ah?! No?"
"Really?" Oh no, he saw it...
Yan Zhu blinked her eyes and waited until Master Wen had eaten and drunk enough before asking, "Master, Zhu Zhu hasn't asked me yet, do you have a daughter?"
Master Wen was startled, "Why do you ask this?"
"Please tell me!"
"No. I don't have a daughter and no wife." Lord Wen became indifferent, with an unpleasant look on his face.
"Oh... am I asking something wrong?" Yan Zhu was a little nervous.
Lord Wen was indeed unhappy. If it were someone else, he would probably lose his temper. But facing Zhuzhu... forget it.
"Why do you think of asking this?" His expression was also very different from his usual gentle and kind expression.
"I...um...I..." Yan Zhu was frightened and didn't know what to say.
Wen Ruoqing felt a little regretful. This place not only had good food, but also had a kind of... atmosphere that he really liked. Sometimes, in a trance, he felt like this was "home"...
However, if his weak spot is touched, this will be the last time he comes here.
"I really like the atmosphere here. I also know that you are not a girl who does not know your limits. If you have something to say, just tell me... If not, I will leave." He wiped his hands.
Gu Yue, who was eavesdropping outside, blinked and smiled. What he meant was... he would not come again in the future? That would be good...
Lord Wen suddenly became a stranger, and Yan Zhu was so scared, as if she was going to lose something important.
"Sorry, Lord Wen, the truth is this..." She spoke quickly, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
After Wen Ruoqing heard this, his expression relaxed.
"Hearing the methods you described, they really sound like the usual style of someone I know... Zhuzhu, this so-called Wen Xianggui has nothing to do with me. You can use any method you want to fight back. If you need my help, that's fine too!" He smiled.
"You looked so scary just now... I..." Yan Zhu relaxed, and her nose suddenly felt sore...
"Okay! Silly girl. I'm not angry, I just don't like that topic. If I have a daughter, I hope she can be like you..."
At this point, Wen Ruoqing saw Yan Zhu, who was about to cry, and it seemed that she overlapped with a figure in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and he felt a sharp pain like a needle stabbing him. He screamed "Ah!" and held his head with his hands.
Leaning on the table.
Yan Zhu jumped up: "Master Wen!? Gu Yue!" she shouted subconsciously.
Gu Yue flashed in and supported Wen Ruoqing who was falling to the ground.
Yan Zhu pointed and glared: "What's wrong with him?!"
Gu Yue saw Wen Ruoqing clenching his teeth and shaking deeply, as if he was in great pain... and seemed to be about to vomit. So he reached out and stroked the back of his neck. Wen Ruoqing dropped his hands and fainted.
"What's wrong? What happened to him?" Yan Zhu was panicked.
"It's nothing. It's probably a headache. Go get a doctor..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhu turned around and ran out. She ran into Song Shang and said anxiously, "Fifth Brother Song, Master Wen has fainted! Hurry and call a doctor!"
Song Shang said to the people around him, "Go and invite Mr. Huang!" After that, he went behind the screen.
Gu Yue lowered his head and supported Wen Ruoqing.
"Carry it to the private room upstairs!" said Song Shang.
Gu Yue hugged Wen Ruoqing with both hands, and walked upstairs. There was a soft couch in the private room, and he put him on it.
Yan Zhu followed closely, "Is everything okay? Gu Yue, you didn't hurt him, did you? He just ate a lot, didn't he choke?"
"Don't worry, I didn't hurt him. The doctor will be here soon. Don't worry..." Seeing Yan Zhu's anxious look, Gu Yue felt distressed and comforted her softly.
Song Shang said, "Is there anyone following him? We have to go to the Wen family to ask for someone."
Yan Zhu remembered: "Hu Zi is chatting with someone outside, quickly ask him to come up."
After a while, a 17 or 18-year-old young man came up. "Sir!" He was also startled.
Song Shang said, "Lord Wen seems to have a sudden headache and has already asked for a doctor. Does he usually have such symptoms? Is there any doctor he is familiar with?"
Hu Zi said: "The master was injured before, and he occasionally suffers from headaches. He doesn't need to take medicine on weekdays. Only when he is sick will the doctor use medicine and injections."
"It's not easy to move him now. Which doctor examined him? Also, have someone tell his family."
Hu Zi shook his head: "My Lord has instructed that these things should not be told to the family. Doctor He from Heyan Hall has been treating me."
"Hurry up and go to Heyan Hall to invite Doctor He." Song Shang ordered.
Yan Zhu got a small stool and sat next to Master Wen, looking at him worriedly...
Gu Yue stood aside, looking at Yan Zhu worriedly.
