Chapter 83 Is giving her a gold hairpin something shameful?
Wen Xingluo was stunned.
She held the golden butterfly hairpin and suddenly looked at Xie Guanlan.
Xie Guanlan didn't even look at her and had already walked a dozen feet away.
Wen Xingluo hurriedly said goodbye to Miss Zhao and the others, lifted her skirt and went after him.
Miss Zhao and the others returned to the Xiling Tower boat to continue their feast and enjoy the scenery. Lai Zhongliang glared at Wen Yueyin fiercely, "Bah, what an unlucky thing! From now on, Miss Wen is not welcome in any of our Lai family's shops in Rongcheng!"
Wen Yueyin collapsed all over and knelt on the ground.
She murmured to herself, "How could this happen...how could this happen?"
They both lived under someone else's roof, so why did she suffer so much in the palace while Wen Xingluo enjoyed such a glorious life?!
Even a killing god like Xie Guanlan is willing to support Wen Xingluo!
That was the commander of the Southwest Military Division who shocked the world!
She clearly has the same face as Wen Xingluo, and she is clearly more talented. Her father and brothers clearly liked her more when she was in the Wen family, but why was the situation reversed when she came to the Zhenbei Palace?
Everything she longed for—the love of the Concubine Dowager, the partiality of the princes in the palace, the support of Xie Guanlan, and the precious status—all were taken away by Wen Xingluo!
It’s obvious...it’s obvious that Wen Xingluo was not as good as her before!
When did the gray little girl in the corner grow up to be as radiant as pearls and jade?
A strong sense of resentment surged in my heart, and the grievances of two lives came one after another.
Wen Yueyin covered her burning cheeks and sobbed.
Not far away, Wen Rufeng was still kneeling on the ground in a daze.
He looked blankly in the direction where Xie Guanlan and Wen Xingluo left.
His youngest sister was not liked when she was a child. He thought that she would be disliked and even sent back home if she went to the palace.
He and his younger brothers and sisters were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
But she was like a flower - no, she was more like moss. She attached herself to the huge rock of Zhenbei Palace and grew lushly until she stretched into a long, quiet and beautiful piece.
Weak, but cannot be ignored.
Wen Rufeng's heart felt damp, as if dark green moss had grown on it, pressing down on him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
He hated this feeling, as if his status as the eldest son of the Wen family was shaken and questioned.
After all, he is a man, the heir of the Wen family's legacy. How can he let a younger sister climb over his head and act so arrogantly?!
"Master Wen," Xu Miaomiao's gentle voice came from the side, "Commander Xie has gone far away. Can I help you up?"
Wen Rufeng came back to his senses and smiled innocently, "Thank you, Miss Xu."
Xu Miaomiao took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a distressed look. "Commander Xie is really something. You and he are brothers, but he looks down on you in every way. Bullying others with power is nothing more than this!"
"It's my incompetence." Wen Rufeng sighed, "If I could pass the imperial examination, he would surely look upon me with higher regard. Unfortunately, I can't ask Master He to be my teacher now. I don't know what the results will be of the provincial examination next year..."
Xu Miaomiao looked at his elegant demeanor.
After a long while, she suddenly mustered up the courage and said, "If Master Wen doesn't mind, I am willing to kowtow to you on the mountain steps."
Wen Rufeng seemed not to have heard clearly and asked stupidly, "What did Miss Xu say?"
"I..." Xu Miaomiao's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes shyly. "I admire Master Wen. I admire your talent, your kindness, and your honesty. Is it true that Master Wen can't guess what I'm thinking at all?"
Wen Rufeng suddenly clenched her hand, as if he was too excited to know what to do. He spoke awkwardly and stuttered, "You...you...I..."
Xu Miaomiao shyly pulled her hand back. "There are so many people watching. Girls are shy, so Master Wen should be more considerate. I'll go and kowtow to you on the mountain steps now. 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't despise the young and poor.' I believe that Master Wen will be able to make a name for himself in the future and put Commander Xie to shame!"
She looked at Wen Rufeng affectionately again before taking her maid to kowtow to Master He.
After she left, Wen Yueyin walked over to Wen Rufeng and said, "Brother, the Xu family is a famous tea merchant in the southwest. If you marry her, you can make up for the loss of grain that our family stockpiled last time."
Wen Rufeng weighed in: "It's a pity that her background is low, she's just a merchant's daughter."
"What's the big deal? Wait until Big Brother passes the imperial examination, and then we can marry another noble lady. Then we can say that we are seeking a son-in-law from the list of the powerful. Since you have little influence, you will have to demote your wife to a concubine, and the censors will not be able to say anything. That way, Big Brother will have both financial support and support in the court."
Wen Rufeng was still hesitant, "Will it make me seem too heartless?"
Wen Yueyin rolled her eyes.
fickle?
Isn’t this how he did it in his previous life?
Her eldest brother is always pretending to be a good person, but asking others to fight for him.
She coughed delicately twice and changed her tone. "What I just said was about the future. The main thing is that Miss Xu is deeply in love with Big Brother. If you don't marry her, won't she be sad? I think, whether it's a wife or a concubine, Miss Xu is actually willing."
Wen Rufeng finally relaxed his brows. "Yue Yin, you have a point. What if I don't marry her and she hangs herself in despair? It seems that I must marry her."
Wen Yueyin forced a smile and rolled her eyes secretly.
The other side.
Wen Xingluo's skirt fluttered like a flower.
She ran for a while before finally catching up with Xie Guanlan at the edge of Yuntai Lake.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the young man's sleeve. She gasped in the hot summer wind, "You lied to me."
Xie Guanlan's expression was calm. "What did I lie to you about?"
"Golden hairpin..." Wen Xingluo's eyes flushed, "When we were in the deserted village, you clearly said that the golden hairpin was not given by you!"
Xie Guanlan looked at her hand on his sleeve, then shifted his gaze to her face.
He asked, "Does it matter whether it was given by me?"
Wen Xingluo opened his mouth, and when the word "important" was about to come out of his mouth, he stopped abruptly in front of his lips.
She avoided his gaze, and the jade silk fan spun again and again in her hands, like the wind that could not stop in the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, like the girl's complicated thoughts.
After a long moment, she raised her head stubbornly and said, "People who tell lies will be tortured by lies for the rest of their lives."
Xie Guanlan's thin lips curved up, "This sentence is just to trick children."
Wen Xingluo felt depressed, but had no words to say.
After a while, she suddenly said, "I'm curious why you lied about this kind of thing."
There was a hidden sense of aggression in the girl's round almond-shaped eyes.
She stared intently into Xie Guanlan's narrow eyes, like a hunter gazing at his favorite prey. "Is giving me a golden hairpin something shameful for you? I wonder what his purpose is in covering up so much?"
