Chapter 12 There is indeed something wrong between Liu and Wen Ling
The King of Qi got off the carriage swiftly and walked towards the door of the Wen family.
Everyone in the Wen family saluted King Qi one after another, and their eyes were full of implicit expectation when they looked at him.
The King of Qi was wearing a dark red robe today and holding a folding fan in his hand, exuding his nobleness from head to toe.
His appearance is somewhat similar to Gu Chenran, but not as delicate and more rugged.
If not compared with Gu Chenran, among ordinary people, her appearance is also the best and can be regarded as majestic.
His features were clear and fresh, just like when he first spoke, he seemed to be the type of sunny and cheerful big boy.
After Qi Wang Gu Qijun asked the Wen family to get up, he looked at Gu Chenran with surprise in his eyes: "Royal brother, why are you here at the Wen Mansion today?"
Gu Chenran sat down and nodded to him, as a greeting to his brother.
Gu Qijun didn't seem to care about this kind of courtesy which was almost a sign of neglect, and his eyes were even full of concern for his younger brother.
Gu Chenran took Wen Ling's hand and said, "Today I am accompanying my wife back home."
Only then did Gu Qijun notice Wen Ling.
He looked at Wen Ling, with surprise in his eyes.
He had been to the Wen family before, but had never seen Wen Ling.
At Gu Chenran's wedding, which could be described as "absurd", he only sent someone to deliver gifts but did not attend.
So this was the first time he met Wen Ling. He really didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who was famous for her stupidity in the capital, had such a beautiful appearance.
His gaze unconsciously lingered on Wen Ling for a moment longer.
After this long pause, everyone in the audience had different expressions.
Gu Chenran's eyes darkened slightly.
It was Wen Yao who spoke first: "Dad, please invite everyone in. We are all honored guests. It's so rude to stand at the door!"
Wen Tingyun then said, "Yes, yes, yes, please come in quickly, my Lords. Let's go in and sit down and talk slowly!"
No matter what the Wen family thinks now, they have to welcome the two princes in respectfully.
Liu regretted her decision to the core.
She had already calculated that Wen Ling would die on their wedding night.
Unexpectedly, she was not dead, but alive and well, and even brought Prince Chen back home!
Otherwise, she would never choose this day to invite the King of Qi to visit!
Wen Ling walked into the gate of the Wen family in a dignified manner, amid the Wen family members' disgusted smiles but having to force themselves to smile.
She smiled happily and said to Liu: "This is the first time in all these years that my mother has welcomed me home so politely!"
Liu's back teeth were broken, but she could only smile: "Ling'er, what are you talking about? Wasn't it inconvenient for you to go out before? How will mother welcome you?"
It implies that you were a fool before, why are you pretending?
The eldest brother Wen Haitian deliberately fell behind a few steps and warned Wen Ling in a low voice: "Wen Ling, you were bad when you were stupid before, and you are even worse now that your brain has healed.
Today is the big day for Yao'er to get married to the King of Qi. I advise you to behave yourself today and don't try to play any tricks to harm Yao'er again.
If anything goes wrong today, I will make sure you are responsible! ”
His tone was full of disgust, as if Wen Ling was not his half-sister, but some unforgivable enemy.
But Wen Ling remembered that the relationship between the brother and sister was very good when they were young.
When Wen Ling was still retarded, he saw Wen Haitian accidentally fall into the water.
In the middle of winter, it was Wen Ling who dived into the water and rescued him at all costs.
Wen Ling fell seriously ill at that time, and no one cared about him.
If it weren't for Tingyin's mother, her wet nurse, who used her dowry as hers and secretly asked a doctor to prescribe medicine for her, Wen Ling might have died at that time.
When Wen Haitian found out about this, he felt extremely guilty and distressed, and said that he would definitely have a bright future and would protect his silly sister for the rest of her life.
But when did it start to change? Was it when his own sister Wen Yao grew up and began to slander her for taking advantage of her stupidity to bully others?
Or did it start with Liu telling him over and over again how much suffering her biological mother had caused her and her son to endure outside the mansion?
Wen Ling did not respond, but just looked at Wen Haitian quietly.
Wen Haitian, who was originally very angry, suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason when he saw Wen Ling's overly clear gaze.
Then he came to his senses and said angrily, "Don't act pitiful. You have always acted pitiful since you were a child. Now this trick doesn't work on me anymore!"
"Just remember what I said!"
Wen Ling just looked at him and said, "I don't feel pity for you. You are the one who feels pity for me. You are deceived and can't tell good from bad. You will regret it soon."
Wen Haitian suddenly felt that Wen Ling was very strange after she was no longer stupid.
In the past, no matter what he said, even if he was afraid, he would just nod timidly.
Now Wen Ling, although not angry, made him feel inexplicably...uneasy.
Wen Haitian glared at Wen Ling, flicked his sleeves, and quickly caught up with King Qi in front of him.
The Wen family’s mansion is small, with a small bridge and flowing water. It is compact and ingenious, and the layout is unique, showing the owner’s taste.
After passing the central courtyard, Wen Ling was taken away on the grounds of gender differences. She was separated from Gu Chenran and followed Liu and Wen Yao to the inner courtyard.
Liu and Wen Yao walked very quickly in front, as if they were a little slower and Wen Ling would report the poisoning on their wedding night to the King of Qi.
No one noticed that Wen Ling, who was following behind, took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and played with it slowly in his hand.
The person contained in the wooden sign was the hanged ghost Gao Zhi.
Of course, the wooden sign was replaced. The wooden sign made of the urine bucket was just to disgust Gao Zhi, but not to disgust myself.
If it weren't for Wen Ling's control, Gao Zhi would have wanted to rush out from the wooden sign and strangle Wen Yao and Liu in front of him.
Wen Ling signaled Gao Zhi to stay calm.
As she followed behind, she was also observing Wen Yao and Liu carefully.
I discovered that the luck on both of them was much stronger than that on ordinary people, especially Wen Yao.
It’s just that their luck is very mottled, as if it is the luck of many people merged together.
When the auras of many people merged together, Wen Ling thought of the black heart at the center of the soul-sucking formation.
That black heart is also the hearts of thousands of children fused together.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with Wen Yao and Liu. They must be related to the person behind the soul-sucking formation set up in the palace!
She would have to strengthen Gao Zhi's soul later, otherwise these two people had such strong luck that Gao Zhi might not be able to hurt them.
After arriving at the inner courtyard, Liu took the seat at the head and asked Wen Ling to sit below her.
As soon as she sat down, Liu smiled and said, "Ling'er, I didn't expect that you are really like what the Taoist priest who passed by said that year. You are no longer stupid after getting married. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"
The smiling Liu at this moment seemed to be a different person from the Liu who had persecuted Wen Ling before.
