Chapter 1111, The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Twenty-three)
Ye Yueying originally wanted to send Hongmei to Madam Wang's room, but when she saw Master Wang coming with his two sons, she immediately returned to the room.
When Mrs. Wang saw her son and grandson coming together, and soon after, her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters arrived, she guessed what they were here for, so she leaned on the kang and didn't get down, looking like she was ready to rest.
Mr. Wang first asked about Madam Wang's health, then asked about her and Ye Yueying's trip out of the house today, and finally turned to Xiao Wu and the other man who sent them back home.
"I heard that mother and Yueying were sent back by the two young masters today?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at her son, then glanced at the other people in the room who were listening attentively, and said "hmm" lightly, without any intention of saying more.
Mr. Wang knew that his wife had not allowed his niece to attend the banquet at the Yan Mansion. His mother would definitely be angry, so he had to be humble:
"Mother, we have just arrived in the capital and are unfamiliar with the place. These days, I have been trying to find a way to find out when the Crown Prince will meet Yingying and me, but unfortunately, I am incompetent and have not found a way yet."
"If your brother-in-law is related, you and Yingying should have told your son earlier so that he could plan ahead. The end of the year and the beginning of the year are critical times for officials to report on their work and be transferred. If your son can meet the Crown Prince earlier and arrange his work earlier, it will benefit our family and Yingying."
"Mother, I wonder which families the two young men who brought you back today are from?"
Madam Wang looked at her son, who was smiling apologetically, and sighed inwardly. She said perfunctorily, "Yingying and I don't know the identities of those two gentlemen. We only know that they are the officials in charge of the Ren Feng case."
"Don't think too much about it. He just happened to run into Yingying and me today, and seeing that it was snowing, he was kind enough to say goodbye."
The implication is that Mr. Wang should not have any rash ideas.
Master Wang understood what the old lady meant and felt a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no hope for the Yan family. He had thought that he could find new connections, but unfortunately his expectations were in vain.
Young Master Wang didn't think so, especially when he heard his grandmother say that the two people were the officials in charge of the Ren Feng case, his eyes lit up.
After arriving in Beijing, he specifically inquired about the Ren Feng case and heard that the chief officer was the Jinling Guard.
Could those two be Jinling Guards?
Thinking of this, Master Wang couldn't help but breathe heavier. Although the officials were afraid of the Jinling Guards, who among them didn't want to win them over?
If they could establish a relationship with Jinling Guard, why would their family have to worry about not being able to gain a foothold in the capital?
Seeing that the old lady looked like she wanted to sleep, Master Wang left with his wife and children.
Back at the main courtyard, Miss Wang curled her lips and said, "I knew it. How could an orphan like Ye Yueying possibly hook up with a young man from a good family?"
"Second sister!"
Mr. Wang looked at Miss Wang Er unhappily and said, "You are a girl, so don't be so harsh in your words. It's not good for you."
Miss Wang Er looked at Mr. Wang Da in shock. She didn't expect that her eldest brother would scold her for Ye Yueying.
Not only was she surprised, but everyone else was also surprised.
There was no way. In the past, when Madam Wang and her daughter spoke ill of Ye Yueying, Young Master Wang always remained silent.
Young Master Wang did not want to explain further, but said to Master Wang: "Father, we should not go out for the next two days."
Master Wang looked puzzled: "Why?"
Young Master Wang: "Didn't the steward say that Young Master Xiao would come to get an umbrella?" Seeing that Master Wang frowned, he explained in a low voice.
"My son thinks that those two young masters are very likely Jinling Guards!"
Mr. Wang's expression brightened, and he rubbed his hands together, "It's time to stay home, it's time to stay home." He paused and looked at Mrs. Wang, "Take good care of Yueying. Whether our Wang family can make further progress depends on this time."
Mrs. Wang did not dare to refute and nodded reluctantly in agreement.
"Sister, do you think that Mr. Xiao will really come to our house again?"
In the past two days, Mrs. Wang gave Ye Yueying a lot of the fabrics and jewelry she bought while shopping, which made Miss Wang Er very dissatisfied.
Miss Wang remained silent.
Miss Wang Er sneered, "He came back under the pretext of getting back that broken umbrella. It's a pity that Master Xiao could come up with that."
Miss Wang spoke up, "That Mr. Xiao is most likely interested in Ye Yueying, and is using this lame excuse to come back."
Miss Wang Er showed disdain on her face: "That man must have a problem with his eyesight, otherwise how could he be interested in an orphan girl? And, two broken umbrellas are so rare, his family must not be very good."
At this point, Miss Wang became excited again: "Then Mr. Xiao's family might be a poor and destitute family. If that's the case, I'll have to ask my mother to help Ye Yueying."
Just as the two sisters were talking about this, a maid ran into the room in a hurry: "Miss, Miss, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Wu, who sent the old lady and cousin the other day, are here again."
The expressions of Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er both brightened.
Miss Wang Er grabbed the maid and asked, "What do those two young masters look like?"
The maid's face flushed slightly. "They are very handsome. Their appearance is secondary. The main thing is their aura. They are obviously the sons of wealthy families."
Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er glanced at each other quickly.
Miss Wang adjusted her hair and said, "Since we have guests, we should go out and meet them."
Miss Wang Er smiled sweetly: "That's exactly what my sister said."
Soon, the two sisters left the room together, first went to call Mrs. Wang, and then went to the reception room next door together.
Looking at the handsome Xiao Moxi and the suave Wu Yutang, the two sisters' hearts began to beat fast at the same time.
Originally, they thought that the Second Young Master Qi was quite good-looking, but compared with the two young masters in front of them, the difference was like heaven and earth.
In the living room, Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang sat casually, while Master Wang, the eldest and second sons Wang stood aside with reserved expressions.
Seeing Madam Wang coming with her two daughters, Xiao Moxi glanced at them and then looked away, while Wu Yutang looked at the three of them with a playful look.
Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang had seen this kind of people too many times. Before they could introduce themselves, Xiao Moxi spoke up: "I'm here to get an umbrella. Miss Ye, please come out and meet me."
This king?
This king!
These two words were like a bolt of thunder that struck the mother, daughter and their two children on the head.
Xiao Moxi usually doesn't like to use his status to bully others, but when he found out what kind of life Ye Yueying had been living in the Wang Mansion over the years, he felt very disgusted with the Wang family.
Why did they dare to bully Miss Ye? Wasn't it because she was homeless and had no one to rely on?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to support her. With him, the prince, around, let's see if the Wang family dares to bully her.
On the other hand, Xuehua had been paying close attention to the movements at the gatehouse these days. When she heard that Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang had arrived, she hurried to tell Ye Yueying.
"Miss, Master Xiao and Master Wu are here." He lowered his voice again, "The eldest lady has also taken the two girls to the living room."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying's expression changed and she walked towards the main courtyard.
She knew very well what kind of people her uncle's family was. They loved to study them. As long as something was beneficial to them, they would immediately cling to them and suck their blood.
At this moment, a picture emerged in her mind: Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang were like two fat fish, being pressed on the chopping board by the Wang family and ready to be slaughtered.
Not to mention Madam Wang and her two daughters who always dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
Xiao Moxi is a humble and polite person, how could he be a match for the three of them, mother and daughter?
Ye Yueying almost ran to the living room.
When Ye Yueying saw Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er standing pitifully in front of Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang in the living room, and Master Wang and others smiling apologetically, as if trying their best to sell them, while Xiao Moxi was completely defenseless, sitting on the chair like a good baby, looking like a lamb to be slaughtered, she was immediately furious.
"Xiao Moxi!"
Ye Yueying walked in quickly, came to Xiao Moxi, and looked at him with a frown: "What are you doing sitting here?"
Xiao Moxi was stunned, not knowing why Ye Yueying reacted so strongly: "Then I'll stand?" As he said that, he stood up.
After Xiao Moxi stood up, Ye Yueying's complexion improved a little.
After all, he is a man of eight feet tall, so he doesn't look like a lamb to be slaughtered when he stands.
Ye Yueying hurriedly bowed to Master Wang and Madam Wang: "Uncle, Aunt, Master Xiao is here to see me. I'll take him away right away."
Without waiting for the Wang family to speak, he gestured for Xiao Moxi to follow him.
Xiao Moxi didn't even look at Wu Yutang, and quickly followed him out with the lunch box.
Wu Yutang, who was left alone, watched the two of them leave with a puzzled look on his face. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "If you leave, what should I do?"
Be careful when making friends!
