He opened his mouth several times to ask her what she thought of Hu Fei, but in the end he didn't ask.
On the way home, I suddenly felt heavy, as if I was a little afraid to face my husband. This was not a good thing...
I just got home and the maid was waiting at the door...my mother-in-law wants to see you.
Seeing Wen Yu coming in, Madam Qi waved: "You're back?! How's the store?"
"Everything is going well. My cousin's inn will open in three days. Please come and show your support!"
"Good! Master Song is really generous. He opened such a big inn without saying anything."
"Yes! In the capital, you can spend any amount of money. Look, Mr. Hu has a big house in the capital, but he still lives there!" She sat next to Mrs. Qi.
Madam Qi patted Wen Yu's hand and said, "This is fate! Zhuzhu saved a person casually, but he turned out to be an important person. She wanted to find a godfather, but she reunited with her biological father. Everything that happened to this girl was good!"
"Yes!" Wen Yu thought of her previous life... and sighed.
"Ayu...Mother wants to talk to you about something."
"Mother, please tell me."
"In the morning, Xiaowu came to see me..."
Wen Yu smiled and said nothing.
"Ayu, did you know that Xiaowu almost got engaged to Qin Lianyue?"
Wen Yu nodded gently.
Mrs. Qi sighed in her heart: Fortunately, I decided to tell her the truth! According to my silly son's idea, I can make up the money and everything will be fine... How can it be fine? The more I hide things , the worse it gets! Oh, my sons, each of them is stupid, and each of them is stupid in his own way! Why are you still making me anxious after they get married?
"He was worried that you would be angry, so he didn't want me to tell you. But, mother thought that such things should be made clear to avoid greater misunderstandings in the future."
Wen Yu didn't say anything.
"Alas. I thought those things were all over..."
Seeing her mother-in-law was a little sad, Wen Yu felt a little embarrassed: "Mother..."
Madam Qi patted her hands again: "I will tell you everything that happened before..."
So, Mrs. Qi sent Qi Wu to school under certain circumstances.
He also told me how he asked Du Liu to take care of him, how many years he studied there, when he would come back, etc.
"Xiaowu had only been in school for two years when Du Liu started talking to me about marriage. But at that time, I didn't want to. I said I was too young and would wait until I was older. During this period, I knew that Du Liu treated Xiaowu very well. The Qin family had an open-minded family tradition, and girls could study with boys. Xiaowu met Qin Lianyue and became very close...
When he was sixteen, he told me that he didn't want to pursue the imperial examination. So, the next year, he came back. He was almost old enough to get married. The one behind him... started to get on his mind.
Unfortunately, none of my relatives and friends had a suitable woman at that time. And that person calmly blocked other people who came to look for him. He also often held gatherings at home, and among the people who came, there were always a few unreliable people who walked around the garden.
After Xiaowu came back, he was busy outside. When asked, he didn't say anything. Sometimes he went out without saying anything, and no one knew when he would come back.
He is very methodical, but he is also a bit simple. I am just afraid that if I can't keep an eye on him, he will run into those unruly people. If they plot against him, how can he explain it? In a hurry, the Qin family is considered to know everything. "
Wen Yu laughed secretly. This was probably Qi Wu's request, right?! Humph...
"I took Xiaowu back to my hometown with the intention of taking care of this matter. As a result, I found out when I arrived that Qin Lianyue had actually been engaged to the Jiang family. This really caught me off guard! I was so angry! I felt like fate was playing tricks on me! Qin Lianyue's mother came to me and wanted to explain and reconcile, but I ignored her. But I was afraid that if I returned to the capital like this, the marriage would definitely fall into the hands of the next person! So I was anxious to find a match for Xiaowu locally. I looked at a lot of people, but I didn't like any of them, until... I met you!"
Madam Qi looked at Wen Yu tenderly. "Ah Yu, I can say that I fell in love with you at first sight. Not to mention, you are Yuan Yuan's savior. So, I took the initiative to contact the Wen family and personally proposed marriage to your grandmother.
Although there were twists and turns, fortunately, God has eyes, and good things will eventually come to fruition. In theory, my luck is not too bad, and I finally got a good daughter-in-law like you. Mother has been living a good life during this period..."
How could Wen Yu not be moved? "Mother, Wen Yu is luckier, she met you!"
Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law's eyes were slightly moist.
Wen Yu was thinking: How could she trick Qi Wu into giving her the chance?! It seems that if something went wrong, it wasn't her son's fault, it was someone else's fault! All mothers in the world are the same!!
"After learning that the Qin family and the Jiang family were engaged, I told Xiaowu that we would cut ties from now on! Whatever things should be destroyed, they should be destroyed, and whatever should be taken back should be taken back. This is also my fault. I didn't even know that such a large sum of money and valuables were not taken back!"
Wen Yu said calmly: "Mother, I know!"
"You know? When did you know?" Mrs. Qi was shocked.
So, Wen Yu told Madam Qi what she had encountered in Tianlong Temple. "At that time, I didn't know my husband, nor did I see his face. Moreover, his voice was hoarse, as if he had returned from a long journey. So, when I met my husband later, I didn't recognize him."
After saying this, she thought: If I had recognized him at the beginning, would all these things have happened? If not, what kind of life would I have? She couldn't help but feel uneasy...
This marriage was planned by me. However, I fell in love with Qi Yang during my interactions with him. That’s why I feel sad and angry now.
If I follow my original intention, then I have actually gained a lot of things that I never dared to think of. Suddenly, I feel less sad and angry, but a little regretful...
Madam Qi smiled bitterly, "This is true, there is no coincidence in the world!"
"Mother! To be honest, Qin Lianyue has some tricks up her sleeve. From what I heard that day, she expressed her reluctance to marry into the Jiang family and her deep attachment to her husband. She also said that she would return all the silver and other items. But in that situation, it would be difficult for someone like my husband to take the things back."
"Humph! Her mother taught her this. I thought she would become a better person after marrying into the Qin family!"
"Mother, I didn't overhear what happened yesterday. It was Qin Lianyue who came to me on her own initiative."
"She's looking for you? What does she want to do with you?"
"She said that you were related to her mother, and that she and her husband were childhood sweethearts. The key point was that her husband treated her very well... He made kites in the spring, fans in the summer, and fireflies in the autumn, and there were other things in the winter... After she said that, I realized that her husband was the person she met in Tianlong Temple!"
"Bah! She's really gone crazy!" Madam Qi blushed with excitement. "It's true that Xiaowu gave her some silver and some valuable items. There were also some...snacks and toys that he brought back for the sisters.
As for making kites and fans, that's just nonsense! Xiaowu has a lot of homework! In addition to attending classes with the Qin family, she also has to practice martial arts. In her spare time, she has to practice riding, archery, and polo. How can she have the time to do those things for her! ? This shameless bitch, next time I see her, I will tear her mouth apart! "
Wen Yu smiled secretly. Who wouldn't be able to instigate? "Mother, she is indeed not right in the head. They are married, especially... she married off on her own and took things she shouldn't have. To be honest, she couldn't even hide from him! Why would she take the initiative to expose her scandal? Isn't she afraid that I would beat her up on the spot?"
Mrs. Qi thought of that scene and laughed: "She owes this!"
"If I wasn't worried about embarrassing us, I would have really slapped her!" Wen Yu also hated her very much.
"Her mother loved to play tricks when she was young. She would go around in circles even for the smallest things. As for why Qin Lianyue did this... I guess her life was not going well. Madam Jiang gave her husband two concubines. One of them is pregnant! She wants to give birth to a child first!"
Wen Yu frowned slightly, "I heard that the eldest son of the Jiang family is not in good health?"
"Yes! The eldest son's wife is Madam Jiang's niece. The aunt and niece are very close! Especially the niece, she knew that the eldest son Jiang was in poor health, but she still resolutely married him. Madam Jiang felt even more sorry for her. Although she was also very good to Jiang Er, she really had her eyes on the eldest son. She was so anxious to take a concubine..."
"You mean, if you give birth to a son in the future, he will be adopted by the eldest son?"
"Yes! This is Madam Jiang's idea! Otherwise, how could she agree to the marriage between Jiang Er and Qin Lianyue? Qin Lianyue's dream of becoming the Duke's wife would have been in vain!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sneered at the same time.
"It's just that mother... Qin Lianyue has deep feelings for my husband, but she chose the Jiang family because she was dazzled by power. Judging from her words and actions, she is quite self-righteous. I'm afraid she thinks... my husband has lost her, so he deserves to be sad and lost in a corner, and he will never forget her for the rest of his life!"
Madam Qi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she nodded frequently. Although it was a little far-fetched, maybe she really thought so!
"But my husband got engaged to me right away, without showing any sadness. A game of polo made my husband the center of attention in the capital. My talent and appearance are only better than Qin Lianyue's!" Wen Yu looked disdainful, "Plus, I'm afraid there have been many rumors about your love for me.
How could she accept that her husband had forgotten her? How could she admit her failure? That's why she came to me to instigate and show off. She was planning to ruin her husband's good life. If, as you said, her beautiful dream becomes a bubble again in the future, how could she bear it? Then, she would definitely go crazy..."
"Is it really as the Crown Prince said... to kill her?!" Madam Qi murmured, her expression slowly becoming firm.
Wen Yu heard it and said: Hmm. I have known the prince for so long, and he finally said something human.
"You don't have to kill her, but you can't just let her go crazy!" Wen Yu said coldly.
