Chapter 13 Family Dinner

Chapter 13 Family Dinner

Liu had already figured it out on the way just now.

Even though Wen Ling knew that it was Gao Zhi who poisoned her, Gao Zhi was already dead.

There is no evidence since they are dead. Even if she comes back to investigate, she won't be able to do anything to them.

Thinking of this, Liu became bolder.

She and Wen Yao looked at Wen Ling with smiles that showed they were fearless.

But I didn’t expect that idiot Gao Zhi couldn’t even handle a small thing. I don’t know what went wrong, but he didn’t poison Wen Ling to death.

Wen Yao also calmed down at this time. She was caught off guard at the door just now and almost lost her composure.

She drank her tea slowly while persuading Wen Ling: "Sister, I know there were some misunderstandings between us before, but to be fair, you should actually thank me and mother.

After all, if mother and I weren't there, there would be no way that my foolish sister could become a princess, right? ”

It was not originally intended that Wen Ling would remain alive after becoming the princess consort.

Otherwise, is Wen Ling worthy of letting them sit here and drink tea with her?

If Wen Ling hadn't followed Prince Chen back home, and if Prince Qi hadn't come today, they really wouldn't want to even act!

Wen Ling seemed not to have heard their hidden meaning. After taking a sip of tea, she looked up at them, showing her small white teeth, and said sincerely: "Thank you, the prince is really good. On the first day I married, he gave me the power to manage the palace. He is really a good man!"

Liu, Wen Yao: "..."

No, this is not the effect they want!

This made them feel like Wen Ling was getting out of their control, which was not good!

Liu coughed lightly and said earnestly, "Ling'er, although you are married now, you are still young and don't understand many things.

For example, even if a woman is married, if she wants to live a good life in her husband's family, she must have her natal family to be powerful and have the support of her natal family.

Why do you think Prince Chen handed over the power of the family to you the next day? It’s because our Wen family has been in power recently, and your eldest brother just passed the imperial examination and was favored by the emperor and the princes! ”

"Really?" Wen Ling asked doubtfully, as if she was really convinced.

"Of course it's true," Liu's smile widened as she continued to persuade him, "And the Prince of Chen is not in good health. Many imperial doctors said he might not live past the age of twenty.

You are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. If you want to live a good life, you still have to rely on your parents.

So now you should be on the same page with us and listen to us.

We are all family, how can I harm you? ”

It turned out that they wanted Wen Ling to be a spy for them beside Prince Chen.

It's really vicious and painstaking. They want to squeeze out the last bit of Wen Ling's usefulness.

And who are the people behind them?

Gu Chenran is already a madman. Who would be so afraid of a madman that they would even leave spies around him?

Wen Ling looked straight at Liu and Wen Yao, a barely perceptible orange-yellow light flashed in her eyes, and she began to use her spiritual power to look through their past.

Since you can't guess it, why not just look at it directly?

Her words and spirits have the ability to see anyone's past.

Just when Liu and Wen Yao were feeling uneasy under her stare and could no longer pretend to smile.

Suddenly, a servant from the front hall reported from outside: "Madam, Miss, the lunch will be ready soon. The master invites the ladies to come over."

Wen Ling stood up in an instant: "It's time to eat, let's go over there."

Liu and Wen Yao: “???”

No, then what does all that they just said to Wen Ling mean?

Did she listen to it? What was her attitude?

Wen Ling didn't listen to them seriously in the first place, and they really thought she was a fool.

How could there be a good ending after being used by this mother and son?

She was just stalling for time, casting a little spell on them and marking them while they were not paying attention.

Those who are marked can see Gao Zhi's ghost.

Next, we went to the front hall to have lunch and watch the show.

When Wen Ling and his friends arrived at the front hall, the round table was already filled with delicious food.

It can be seen that in order to entertain King Qi, the Wen family put a lot of effort into preparing this table.

When Wen Ling saw the dishes on the table, her eyes lit up. It was worth the trip. It was truly worth the trip!

The men have already taken their seats. Gu Qijun and Gu Chenran sit at the top seats respectively, while the Wen family father and son sit below the direction of King Qi.

The Wen family said that this was a family dinner, so there weren't so many rules to follow, and men and women didn't sit at separate tables, they all sat together.

Gu Chenran waved to Wen Ling, motioning her to sit next to him.

Gu Chenran leaned close to Wen Ling's ear and whispered, "Try this table of dishes to see if they suit your taste. If you like them, I'll find the chef for you some other day."

"Thank you!" Wen Ling thanked happily, openly and without any shyness.

Gu Chenran also smiled.

They are husband and wife, so it is only natural for them to sit together.

But when Wen Yao saw Wen Ling sitting at the top and seemed to have such a good relationship with Gu Chenran, she was not very happy.

It’s true, I only focused on the fact that Prince Chen was a madman, but I didn’t expect that Prince Chen’s appearance was so outstanding.

In terms of appearance alone, he even outshined the King of Qi next to him...

Why did this bitch Wen Ling marry such a handsome husband?

Liu glared at Wen Yao, signaling her not to be confused in such a big occasion. If she was displeased with Wen Ling, she should stop thinking about it.

Wen Yao could only swallow all her thoughts.

It’s okay. When she becomes the Princess of Qi and moves into the Eastern Palace in the future, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to trample that bitch Wen Ling under her feet!

Wen Yao turned the peach blossom-shaped cake on the table in front of King Qi, and as if mustering up her courage, she said shyly, "Your Highness, this is the peach blossom cake that Yaoer made by herself. You tasted it last time and thought it was good. Yaoer knows you like it, so she made it again."

Wen Haitian teased with a look of disappointment: "Your Highness, don't listen to her words so lightly. Yao'er went to the backyard to collect dew before dawn to make this peach blossom pastry today. She was very dedicated!"

"Brother!" Wen Yao blushed as if her secrets had been exposed.

When King Qi saw Wen Yao's coquettish attitude, he was also moved.

The Minister of Revenue is already old, and Wen Tingyun, as the Vice Minister of Revenue, has a good chance of being promoted to the Minister of Revenue in the next two years.

The Ministry of Revenue is the purse of the imperial court. Marrying Wen Tingyun's daughter would be a good choice in the long run.

Gu Qijun smiled cheerfully: "Yao'er has been so thoughtful since she was a child!"

As he said this, he went to pick up the peach blossom pastry.

The Wen family has maids helping to serve the dishes. As long as the guests want to eat something, the maids will pick up the dishes in advance.

Just as the maid next to him was picking up food for Prince Qi, Wen Yao looked up at the maid.

This one look almost scared her to death.

This maid was none other than Gao Zhi, who was hanged by her order two days ago!

Gao Zhi, who was picking up food for King Qi, seemed to feel Wen Yao looking at her.

She looked up and met Wen Yao's frightened gaze, and she even raised the corners of her mouth to smile at her.

The corners of her mouth were stretched all the way to her ears, and her long tongue was sticking out, with saliva dripping from it.

The saliva just dripped onto the peach blossom cake...
