Even though she didn't care about love at all, she could feel that Song Shang seemed to treat Wen Yu differently.
Also, this is so normal!
I wonder how many people have been asking about Wen Yu these past two days!
Is there really something wrong between them? If so, it’s no small matter!
She looked at Song Shang with no surprise, trying to see something.
After listening to this, Song Shang smiled, nodded casually, and didn't respond.
He has no qualifications and no position now, so he cannot show anything in case the situation gets out of hand.
Anyway, I have connections in the Song family and I can know about any movements.
Engagement? Haha, there is always a way to delay it.
Mrs. Wen saw that there was nothing unusual about Song Shang, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or a little disappointed.
After she came to Beijing, she had to rely on Song Shang even more for things here. When she discussed it with Wen Qian before, Wen Qian meant: wait until he has established a firm foothold before making a decision. If it goes well and helps Song Shang, then it will be a good thing for both of them.
If he doesn't make good progress, then he will give the advantage to Song Shang.
But no matter what, Song Shang is very important to the Wen family.
She had an idea last night. Although she couldn't give Wen Yu to him as a concubine, what if he really had feelings for her? That would be a hindrance , right? Since she hadn't found out yet, she didn't mention it anymore and got back to business.
…
After returning to her residence, Old Lady Wen called the girls over and told them, "Get everything ready. We'll go back early tomorrow morning."
Wen Jiao looked at Wen Yu and sneered: "Big sister, where is your white horse? Aren't you going to take it back?"
"If my second sister hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten! Grandmother, can I take the white horse back with me?"
Mrs. Wen was stunned again, "That's your cousin's thing, how should I know?!"
After hearing this, Wen Yu walked to the door and said, "Xiao Ji, go to the bamboo garden and find Madam Xu. Ask her to ask my cousin for me, saying that I want to take the white horse back with me, is that ok?"
"You have such a big face!" Wen Jiao shouted at the top of her voice.
"Second sister, are you willing to let me take the white horse back or not?" Wen Yu was confused.
"What's it got to do with me?"
"But...you just asked me!"
Wen Jiao was speechless.
Old Madam Wen frowned, "What's the fuss? Go back and clean up!"
…
The next morning, the girls got dressed and prepared to get on the bus at the second gate.
Then, Wen Jiaozhen saw the little white horse being led by the old man riding a donkey beside Wen Yu.
Sun Ying has been a bodyguard all his life and has traveled all over the country, so he has seen many good horses.
However, he was the only one who could hold the reins in his own hands.
Looking at the beautiful horse, his face was full of smiles and he loved it very much. Although he couldn't ride it, it was very cool to be able to pull it!
Wen Jiao's face suddenly darkened.
Mrs. Song and Song Shang came to see him off in person, and asked the family to send out two cars, and took a lot of things back.
Old Madam Wen shook her head and laughed, "You! What are you doing? It seems like I'm here to take advantage of you~"
"What are you talking about? I wanted you to stay a few more days, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
"There will be a ceremony at Tianlong Temple in two days, and we will be able to see each other again."
Everyone said goodbye, and Song Shang watched Wen Yu get on the car, wrapped tightly, as the car swayed away into the distance...
But the wonderful feeling she brought to me never left...
…
After returning to the Wen family, Mrs. Wu went out to pick up Old Mrs. Wen.
Li and the maid helped Old Madam Wen get out of the car, and Wu hurried forward to pay her respects.
"Mother, you've worked hard on the journey. Is Mrs. Song all right? Isn't the house very lively?"
Mrs. Wen was really tired after this trip. She nodded and said, "Everything is fine. Is everything okay at home?"
"Everything is fine at home..." Mrs. Wu had something on her mind but couldn't say it, so her face looked a little unhappy.
"I'm really tired from the journey. I'll take a rest first. You can go and do your work." He turned to Li and said, "You've taken care of me these past few days. Go back and take a rest!"
The girls also went back to their rooms.
Wen Jiao was snorting angrily, and wanted Wu to see it and ask her actively.
Unexpectedly, after the old lady left, Mrs. Wu's smile also fell, "You all go back and rest!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"..." Wen Jiao became even angrier!
…
Wen Yu returned to the courtyard and walked into the house. She saw that it was clean inside and out, and there were even flowers in the vase. She couldn't help but feel very happy. "The house is clean and beautiful inside and out. It's really different now that Qinghe and Xiangshu are here! This lady will give you a big reward!"
After hearing this, Hong Xing's face became even uglier.
Wen Yu divided the things she brought among them and sent them away.
Xiao Jiniang said, "Miss, there are a few things..." Her temperament has changed a lot these days, and she walks and behaves like a person who is in charge of things.
"Young Master Zhang Jiangqing sent me a message. He said that the task you assigned to him has basically been completed. Please contact him when you return. It may be urgent. Another thing, Hong Xing returned home one day, and I took Li Tan and took down the things she hid in the Peony Pavilion..."
Wen Yu's face became solemn.
"What is it?"
"It was some powder. At the time, I couldn't tell what it was. I took it to the pharmacy to ask, but the young doctor couldn't figure it out either. Later, I asked his master to identify it. He said it was... a kind of dried mushroom ground into powder, which grows in the southwest and is not found here. If you eat it by mistake... you will die very quickly."
Wen Yu was not too surprised. Hong Xing had met Aunt Xu and was hiding outside secretly. She was definitely not a good person.
But I still didn't expect it to be this!
If Xiaoji hadn't been activated in time, I really wouldn't have discovered it! I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Things have been going smoothly for me lately, and I'm feeling a little proud!
In fact, the danger is always around us and has never left!
Little Jiniang said, "The old doctor said that this mushroom tastes very delicious. If it is put in the soup, it will be particularly flavorful. But it dies very quickly, and the symptoms are not obvious."
Yuan... is really thoughtful and has a long-term vision!
The trap was set early, so even if I died, no one would suspect her.
"Where's that thing?!"
"I thought that this thing was too dangerous and it was not a good idea to leave it like this. If something went wrong, it would be all over. So I decided to replace it with ordinary mushroom powder and put it back to its original place."
Wen Yu nodded repeatedly, saying this was the best way.
"I took the mushroom powder to the yard rented by Xiaoji's father and climbed up the ladder to put it on the beam."
"Well, you did a great job on this matter." Wen Yu was quite relieved that she had not found the wrong person after all.
"Girl, do you want to see it? Should I bring it back?"
"No rush, just leave it there for now. Don't throw it away... just be careful not to eat it by mistake."
"It's well packed and out of reach of ordinary people. Don't worry."
"Yeah. We still have to keep an eye on Hong Xing."
"yes."
"Ask Li Tan to find Zhang Jiangqing. I'm back. Let's see when he can do it."
"Yes. Oh...there's something else at home."
"What's the matter?" Wen Yu looked at Xiao Jiniang's smile and felt a little embarrassed.
"The second master's matter..." She didn't know how to tell a girl.
"Let's talk, in our own room."
"The second master is out there and has taken a fancy to a widow with a son of seven or eight years old. The family has fields and shops, and is a well-off family. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also quite capable. It is said that the second master is very interested in her, but she ignores him!" Xiao Jiniang laughed.
"The second wife may know about this. She hasn't looked very well these days."
"Oh..." Wen Yu thought, this is the type that Wu is afraid of, right? !
She was not afraid of her second uncle looking for a maid or a prostitute. She was most worried about someone who was rich, talented, and good-looking. "Go and find out more about it."
"yes."
