Wan Tianyun finished speaking in one breath. He knew about this matter the day before yesterday.
Wan Tianyun doesn't like Shuang'er. No matter how good-looking Wei Qingtong is, he has no interest in her. However, Shuang'er is so beautiful and has no backing, so naturally there are people who covet her.
When Old Man and Old Lady Wei were still alive, although their lives were terrible, at least they would not easily be willing to marry Wei Qingtong off.
Now, only Wei Qingtong and his two brothers are left in the Wei family. The two brothers had gone to other places to hide, and when they came back and saw that their parents were dead, they took their anger out on Wei Qingtong.
The two of them were lazy and easily influenced by others. These days, they were thinking about letting Wei Qingtong marry Su Kai, the nearly fifty-year-old head of the Su family, a famous wealthy businessman in the city, as a concubine.
Su Kai was also very strange. He obviously had many concubines at home, but he suddenly insisted on taking Shuang'er back home with great fanfare. It was said that in order to please Wei Qingtong, he even gave a lot of betrothal gifts.
Wan Tianyun just doesn't believe that there is nothing fishy about this.
Wan Tianyun came here with his mother when he was six years old. Before that, Wan Linming already had a concubine. Wan Tianyun was taught by his mother how to consolidate his position since he was a child. How could he not know about these private methods in the harem?
Previously, Yu Wanchun's scheme against Xie Shu and Wei Qingtong caused a sensation in the city. How could a man like Yu Langjun not become suspicious when he learned about this?
If he wanted to deal with Wei Qingtong without bloodshed, there were many ways to do it.
Therefore, when Wan Tianyun said this, his tone was full of certainty.
After finishing speaking, Wan Tianyun leisurely admired Xie Shu's expression.
No matter how Xie Shu disguised herself, at this moment, hearing that her ex-lover was going to be sold as a concubine and that her husband was involved, how could she not be shocked?
However, to Wan Tianyun's surprise, he still did not see any flaws on Xie Shu's face, which was as smooth as jade.
Not only that, his tone was so indifferent that it was almost mocking: "It seems that Master Wan did not listen to what I just said. I don't know what Master Wan meant by this, who he was referring to, and where he heard these nonsense from that made him talk so much."
A gossip? How dare Xie Shu say that about him!
Wan Tianyun's first reaction was disbelief, then he became furious and subconsciously raised his hand to teach Xie Shu a lesson.
But before he could get close to Xie Shu, Xie Shu held his wrist tightly and he could not move forward.
The opponent was so strong that he almost crushed his bones, showing no mercy.
Wan Tianyun grimaced in pain, and at the same time he suddenly realized that Xie Shu was not afraid of him, or rather, he did not care about his identity as the son of the prefect, otherwise he would not have done this in their Wan family.
Wan Tianyun felt a strange fear in his heart. When he came to Jinling, his father had already held a high position and felt guilty towards him, so he indulged him a little. No one in Jinling dared to provoke him.
Wan Tianyun has also developed such a carefree and unruly character. This is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Wan Tianyun looked at Xie Shu. The expression on his face was as cold as frost and snow, and his eyes were like cold stars, which made people afraid. At this moment, he had never felt the taste of regret so clearly.
Wan Tianyun was sweating profusely, and couldn't tell whether it was because of the pain or something else. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Xie Shu... let me go... I, I was wrong. I apologize to you... isn't that enough?"
Wan Tianyun had no choice but to give in. He had just sent everyone out of the room in order to trick Xie Shu into talking. In this situation, how could Wan Tianyun dare to remain tough?
Even though this is somewhat embarrassing and not in line with Wan Tianyun's style, there is no one else around after all. Besides, since he has already done this, shouldn't Xie Shu just quit while he's ahead?
However, Xie Shu's gaze towards him remained calm and unmoved. At this moment, Wan Tianyun felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Just when Wan Tianyun almost couldn't help begging for mercy, Xie Shu suddenly loosened his grip a little. Not only that, he also showed a faint smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Wan, there is no need to apologize. Brother Wan has always been straightforward. I can understand that he acted impulsively due to a disagreement. It's just that in Jinling, everyone knows Brother Wan's temperament. If Brother Wan acts like this in the future, it will be very inappropriate. Even if you don't care about Brother Wan himself, you should consider the reputation of Lord Wan... What do you think, Brother Wan?"
Wan Tianyun saw that Xie Shu really didn't care anymore, and just took a breath, when he heard Xie Shu's words, Wan Tianyun felt uncomfortable and had an inexplicable sense of weirdness. Why did he say such admonishing words? It was simply incomprehensible...
And in the end, Xie Shu's question seemed no less than a threat to Wan Tianyun, so Wan Tianyun had no choice but to swallow his anger and said, "Brother Xie is right, I'll remember it."
The next second, a familiar scolding voice suddenly came from behind: "Asshole, what did you do just now?"
The person who walked into the room was Wan Linming. He was wearing a dark blue uniform. He had a stern look on his face and looked solemnly at Wan Tianyun.
Wan Tianyun never thought that his father would come at this time! He didn't know how much of the scene just now was seen by his father. After this thought, Wan Tianyun also reacted immediately. No wonder Xie Shu's attitude suddenly changed!
Wan Tianyun was instantly angry and scared, not knowing how to argue.
Instead, Xie Shu stepped forward and said, "Master Wan, your son and I were discussing literature and science just now, and there were some disagreements..."
Wan Linming waved his hands. It was not like he had not heard how Xie Shu had advised Wan Tianyun. Besides, didn't he know what kind of person his son was? Wan Tianyun's mind was not on his studies at all, and it was even more impossible for him to argue about it.
But in front of others, Wan Linming couldn't say anything, and when he saw Xie Shu coming to the rescue, he softened his expression.
Wan Linming looked at Wan Tianyun again and said unhappily, "How do you study on weekdays? You even got into a fight with someone? If it weren't for Xie Shu's magnanimity and our friendship, I would have punished you! Why are you still standing here and getting in the way?"
Wan Tianyun held his breath when he heard this. His father's words made it seem as if Xie Shu was defending him, but it was clearly him...
But Wan Tianyun didn't dare to say a word at this moment. He wished he could get away quickly. So as soon as Wan Linming finished speaking, Wan Tianyun retreated obediently.
After Wan Tianyun left, Wan Linming let out a long sigh and said, "His character is really too arrogant, and I don't know how to correct it..."
Xie Shu did not respond immediately. In fact, his mind was not here.
Wan Tianyun's words just now did not leave any trace in his heart, but Xie Shu was very alert just now and did not reveal his emotions.
But Xie Shu had never thought that the original body's entanglement was more than this...
However, when various memories flashed through his mind, it turned out that there were actually some traces left since he came into this world half a year ago.
So, did you know about this early on?
At this moment, a storm suddenly arose in Xie Shu's heart, but in less than a moment, Xie Shu suppressed all his thoughts back to the bottom of his heart bit by bit, and no one knew what kind of stormy waves were beneath the calm surface of the water.
Xie Shu smiled again, and said calmly, "Don't worry, sir. Brother Wan was born into a wealthy family and everything went smoothly for him. Naturally, he is a little more arrogant than ordinary people, but he is not incorrigible. If you are willing, why not let Brother Wan experience the word 'difficult situation'?"
Wan Linming fell into deep thought after hearing this. In fact, Wan Linming knew that Wan Tianyun's behavior had a lot to do with him. It was just that Wan Linming had not been able to discipline Wan Tianyun properly over the years, until now Wan Tianyun had grown into this character, and Xie Shu's words just now touched his heart.
I can still protect him now, but if he is not in Jinling in the future, wouldn’t it cause a disaster?
As for Xie Shu's suggestion, Wan Linming took it to heart. At the same time, the scene of Wan Tianyun admitting his mistake just now flashed through his mind. He was still very surprised when he saw this scene. After all, his son had never experienced such a moment before.
Wan Linming's mind turned, and he had a little more appreciation for Xie Shu. His expression became more pleasant. At this time, Wan Linming asked, "What is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"
Xie Shu did not evade the question and said bluntly: "I am here to organize a literary club..."
Of course, Xie Shu did not mention the issue of funding, because the prefect could do much more than that.
What Xie Shu wanted from Wan Linming was the legitimacy of the literary society.
Xie Shu wants to set up a literary society, and in the future, other people will think of doing the same, so Xie Shu must ensure that his literary society is unique.
If there is government support, everything will be much easier.
Wan Linming stroked his beard slowly when he heard that. In fact, he had already guessed it before asking. He had been very busy these days. The emperor's dragon boat would arrive in Jinling soon. He was exiled to Jinling and had not seen the emperor for many years. He was afraid that he might have made some mistakes.
However, despite his busy schedule, Wan Linming did not forget to pay attention to the literary gathering held by Xie Shu. After learning that it was a great success, Wan Linming was delighted. After all, the passing rate of the annual provincial examination in Jinling was closely related to his political achievements.
Therefore, Wan Linming said with a smile on his face: "You have foresight and vision, and it is good that you can think of others from your own perspective. This move will benefit the students of Jinling. How can I not support it? How about this? I will mark out a piece of land as the community land of the literary society. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Shu immediately thanked Wan Linming. With the community land specially given by the government, the Wenshe was officially recognized from then on. The Wenshe was no longer a tree hanging in the air, but had real support.
Wan Linming then asked in detail: "Since your literary club is not restricted to students from Jiangnan, the cost is not small. I wonder what your plan is?"
Xie Shu knew that Wan Linming wanted to ask him if he had a comprehensive plan for the literary society, so he spoke cautiously, "To be honest, my lord, I have discussed this matter with my wife. If the literary society is to continue, it cannot have only expenses and no income, so I came up with an idea, which is to select articles and engrave manuscripts to support the society. However, it requires a large amount of capital investment in the early stage. My wife is willing to invest for me. As long as the literary society is named after the Yu family, it is equivalent to investing in it, and there will be dividends in the future..."
Xie Shu explained to Wan Linming the concept of shareholding and dividends. In fact, this concept already existed in ancient times, but the regulations were not as detailed.
Seeing that Wan Linming was listening with great interest, Xie Shu suddenly said with a smile: "I dare to ask, if Lord Wan trusts me, why don't the government also invest in it?"
