He was not a high-ranking official, and did not have a good position. But this was just what he wanted, and he was preparing to have a feast with his two brothers in a corner on the first floor, when something happened.

He was unhappy, and just stood there with a gloomy face, and he was quite imposing.

"What happened?!" he asked.

Old Madam Wen screamed, "Someone has kidnapped my maid in public! Hurry up and catch the thief and murderer!"

"Who is the thief? Who is the murderer?"

"She is a thief..." The old lady pointed at Yan Zhu. But the murderer... she didn't even see clearly, and the person was gone, so she pointed at Wen Yu: "The person was killed in this store, go ask her!"

Wen Yu said, "Master Zhang, Madam Wen lost her heirloom in the store. Please start your investigation from here!"

Zhang Jiangqing was followed by his brothers. When he signaled, one of them took out the desk paper he had with him, while another moved the table and chairs and went to ask for pen and ink.

Wen Ruoqing walked to Yan Zhu and said, "Zhu Zhu, I'm sorry. This matter is directed at me." He smiled bitterly and said, "You accepted me as your foster father... You didn't get any benefits, but you got yourself into trouble."

Wen Yu and Gu Yue were by her side. Yan Zhu was not afraid and just shook her head gently.

Hu Fei chuckled and looked at Yan Zhu with an expression that said, "What did I say?"

Wen Ruoqing was filled with anger and rolled his eyes at him fiercely. He would settle the score with him later! Zhang Jiangqing sat down, picked up a pen, and prepared to start writing, "Who is the victim? What happened?"

At this point, Old Lady Wen hesitated.

She just wanted to make a scene, ruin the recognition, throw dirty water on others, and make them sick to death. But she didn't think about going to the authorities! People in the capital have a lot of things to deal with, how could they go to the authorities? Isn't it embarrassing to ask and answer in public?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Jiangqing asked again: "Who is the victim, please tell me your name!"

"Why are you asking me if you don't want to catch anyone or commit crimes? My maid..."

"Madam, if there is any theft or murder, the officials will have no choice but to investigate. Tell me your name, identity, where you live, and what you did!"

Zhang Jiangqing is full of momentum!

Wen Yu looked at it and was quite happy.

Seeing that the old lady was hesitating and not saying anything, Old Master Wen pulled her and said, "Master Zhang, this old woman drank too much, so she is a little confused and talking nonsense. It's nothing serious. I'm sorry everyone, Ruoqing... you guys continue!" After saying that, he tried to pull the old lady away.

"Wait!" Wen Yu and Wen Ruoqing spoke at the same time. They looked at each other again, and Wen Ruoqing said, "Yan Zhu is innocent, she was just dragged down by me. We must make things clear!"

"Yes!" Wen Yu said coldly, "The words have been spoken, and there must be a result. Otherwise, how can Zhuzhu live with such a bad reputation! The old lady has something to hide, and she is afraid of the officials. She is reluctant to speak... But the wine and food in the kitchen are ready, so don't waste everyone's time. Why not let Lord Zhang be a witness! What kind of heirloom of the Wen family... It's not that our Zhuzhu is bragging, she really doesn't look down on it!"

Old Madam Wen was secretly delighted and immediately shouted, "Just you? You think you are so great just because you opened a restaurant and a dim sum shop?"

She took out a piece of jade and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Jiangqing. "This is the treasure of the Wen family. It was given to Princess Xian'an by Emperor Huiren when she got married. There are two pieces in total, with the same pattern on the front and the words on the back. One is: Xingchang Gongbei, and the other is: Chuanzi Xiangdong! Today, I talked to Yanzhu for a while, and when I looked back, I found that one piece was missing, but I didn't know she stole it. I just found out from someone's words. Now, just look around her neck to see if it's the Xingchang Gongbei piece!"

When Yan Zhu saw Mrs. Wen take out the jade, she was really shocked. She thought her jade was lost, so she quickly took it out to see, and it was still there! Mrs. Wen was sharp-eyed: "Look! She took it out! This is it!" She rushed over and wanted to take it away.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, her arm went numb, followed by a sharp pain. "Ah?" She had never experienced anything like this before. She hugged her arm, screaming and jumping.

When the old lady took out the jade, Wen Ruoqing felt a little dizzy in front of her eyes. She sat down quickly, and when she saw Yan Zhu take it out, her head started to hurt... She broke out in a cold sweat.

Old Master Wen hurried over to help his wife up. Old Mrs. Wen was crying and snotting. She cried to him, "They beat me in public! How can I survive? I have suffered so much injustice in this life of following you!"

Old Master Wen had never suffered this before. Although he had no ability, he had been a rich and idle man all his life. Now that he was old, he had to suffer this humiliation in front of others...

He listened to the old lady's complaints and muttered, "You're going to suffer all your life following me? Then don't follow me. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's up to you!"

After saying that, the old man turned around and left...

"You're leaving?!" The old lady looked at him with tears in her eyes. "No! You can't leave!" If he left, what would she do? The old lady stumbled after him.

Everyone looked at Wen Ruoqing, who was sweating on his forehead. He stood up, staggered over, and picked up the jade on the table. Then he looked at Yan Zhu, who quickly took off her own jade and handed it to him.

He looked carefully and closed his eyes, his body still shaking.

Hu Zi was anxious: "Sir, please don't get sick!"

Wen Ruoqing opened her eyes again and tears streamed down her face.

Everyone was stunned. What did it mean? Could it be that Yu Zhen had something to say? "Yan Zhu, you... took your mother's surname? Your mother... can be called Yan, Hui, Xin?" His heart ached.

At this moment, Wen Yu and Yan Zhu were both stunned. Hu Fei thought: something bad is going to happen! "How do you know?" Yan Zhu asked.

Wen Ruo began to cry softly... and was unable to speak.

He looked so ugly when he was crying, a grown man crying like that! Then I thought about how he usually didn't obey anyone and would bully anyone he could get.

Everyone finally vented their anger: You have finally come to this day, let’s see how arrogant you can be in the future!

"Oh my God! I..." Wen Ruoqing's brain felt like something had pierced through a layer of window paper, allowing light to shine in and he could see everything inside clearly.

"Zhuzhu, where is your mother?!" he asked anxiously.

Yan Zhu was stunned. "My mother has passed away."

"Dead...really?!" Wen Ruoqing's tears flowed even more.

Wen Yu had completely understood, and couldn't help but sigh that the Creator always surprises people: "Master Wen, eighteen years ago, my grandmother and mother saved a four-month pregnant woman in the flood. Her name was Yan Huixin.

She said she wanted to go home with her husband, but a flood broke the dam and washed her away. My grandfather had people post missing notices around, but there was no news. My family wanted to give her money to send her back to her parents' home, or to her husband's home.

But she said that she had lived with her father, and when her father died, there was no one left at home. Her husband left home because he had a conflict with his family. She was afraid that her husband's family didn't know that he had married her, and if she went to look for him, they probably wouldn't recognize him. So, she stayed with my mother. Later, she and my mother died of illness..."

Old Mrs. Wen was shocked to hear this in the crowd. How could she not let go of the past after so many years?

She carefully recalled the past events. Fortunately, her family did not abuse Yan Zhu. So, what should I do? She was very smart and knew how to seize the opportunity. She rushed out immediately, "Sir Wen, I am Wen Yu's grandmother. I don't know the first part of what Wen Yu said about her grandmother saving people. But the latter part is true.

When Wen Yu's mother married, she brought Yan Zhu's mother with her. The Wen family arranged a small courtyard for them to live in. Speaking of which, Miss Yan Zhu was really born in the Wen family! Yan Zhu's mother..."

Mrs. Wen recalled carefully and finally remembered something: "She is good at making soup. When Wen Yu's mother was pregnant with her, she was very picky about food. Fortunately, Yan Zhu's mother was with her...the two of them were very good! Later, there was an epidemic in my area, and my daughter-in-law and Yan Zhu's mother died of the disease. From then on, the two girls lived and ate together like sisters. Miss Yan Zhu took classes with my daughter! She can read and embroider well. She also inherited her mother's talent for making snacks and side dishes! Wow, that's how this shop came into being..."

After hearing this, Lord Wen's chest rose and fell: "That's right! Huixin is a natural cook. That year, I was young and energetic, so I left home and wandered to Jiangzhou. Huixin's father was a financial advisor in the government office, and the father and daughter depended on each other for survival.

One day, my father-in-law was driving out with his account book, and his car flipped into a ditch. I happened to pass by and helped him sort out the account in a hurry. He was very grateful and invited me to dinner. I thought we were going to a restaurant, but he actually invited me home.

That day, I had the most delicious meal in my life... Haha, I actually stayed in the local area just for this.

Later I found out that the dish was not made by the cook, but by his daughter. I was so embarrassed that I bought a lot of things from the market and sent them to her before I finally met her. Later... Mr. Yan married his only daughter to me!"

His tears had not yet dried, but his face turned red.

How could it be so easy to marry him! My current thick skin was developed during that time!

"Later, Huixin got pregnant, and her father passed away. I thought that I had to give the baby in her belly a birth, so I planned to take her home. Zhuzhu..." He pulled Yanzhu, "You are my biological daughter! God has mercy on me, I now have a biological daughter."

He whimpered and cried loudly.

Yan Zhu was even more excited, "Is this true? Ah Yu, Gu Yue, am I dreaming? Is this true?"

Wen Yu also burst into tears, "I'm not dreaming, Zhuzhu, you found your father! You have a father now!"

Hu Fei's face was full of emotions. He wanted to say, "You are dreaming, this is fake!" But he thought more: This is really bad.

On the last day of February, father and daughter recognized each other.

What a great news! 　　I had some things to do at home, so I am not satisfied with what I wrote. I am sorry...
