Chapter 32

The sharp intuition spied something, which was fleeting, and she wanted to catch it but couldn't.

Wen Qiong put this matter on Wen Qiong's mind until she heard that Miss Zheng Er asked her to meet her as she wished.

Nanny Pang obediently delivered the envelope from Zheng Guogong's mansion, then turned and left, just in time to meet Nanny Song who came in with a basket in her arms.

"Girl, the tribute incense candles are all ready."

She put the small satchel on the table beside her, and picked up a few red purses from it.

"I heard that the ginkgo tree in the Taoist Temple of Jiuchong Mountain is already a hundred years old, and smelling the incense all the year round will definitely give birth to some spiritual wisdom. The old slave specially embroidered a few purses and hung them on the branches to win the prize."

She took out the red paper from her purse and placed it on the desk, "Girl, write down your wishes."

Wen Qiong hasn't revealed Wen Boqing's plan yet, so Nanny Song doesn't know the real purpose of this trip, and it's rare for her to take a long trip. Her happy eyes and smile lines are obvious.

"The journey will take about an hour and a half. I told Ah Yao to prepare a lot of gadgets to relieve boredom. We will set off after breakfast tomorrow, so we can come back earlier."

With white fingers pinching the red paper in front of her, Wen Qiong hesitated for a moment, her elder brother was worried that Nanny Song and the others' reaction would reveal the truth, and told them not to let them know about her escape.

Seeing Mammy's reaction now, Wen Qiong was a little confused, "Mommy, tomorrow..."

"Oops, I forgot!"

Mother Song remembered something, and hurriedly said, "The mountain road is difficult to walk, Ah Shen's horse riding skills are no match for the guards beside my uncle, Miss, remember to let Mo Ya go with her, so she can protect her along the way."

"Moya can't go."

Wen Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, closed the dowry booklet in front of her and walked out from behind the desk, deciding to explain to Nanny Song first, "Mommy, I have something to do tomorrow, what will happen then, Mommy?"Don't panic."

Nanny Song was puzzled and wanted to ask something, but seeing that her girl had her own idea, she held back and picked up the basket.

"The road on the mountain is bumpy, I asked Ah Shen to pack the carriage more comfortably."

Wen Qiong looked at the back of the mother leaving and sighed, then turned around and opened the letter paper sent by the second girl Zheng, and read it at a glance.

Zheng Ruyu asked her to meet at Changyun Restaurant at noon today.

She refolded the letter paper, stuffed it back into the envelope, tidied up the dowry booklet and account book on the desk, and put them in the copper-locked wooden box on the lower left corner of the bookshelf.

After being busy these days, finally got everything sorted out.

After returning to Wen Mansion, that person no longer sent secret guards to follow her in private, and even he himself went to Dali Temple to resume his post early this morning, and at noon to see Zheng Ruyu, it happened to be able to discuss with Mr. Xu about the shopthing.

Thinking silently in her heart, Wen Qiong unfolded the red paper handed by Nanny Song, dipped it in ink and wrote on it.

I just wrote one, and the half-closed door of the study was pushed open again. This time it was A Yao who came, "Girl! Girl!"

She rushed in and hurriedly said, "Someone made trouble at the gate of the mansion, saying that the eldest lady beat one of their young men to death."

Wen Qiong was stunned for a moment, "Madam Su killed someone?"

When mentioning the male servant, she immediately remembered that a while ago, the fake brothel girl who was redeemed by the eldest uncle, and later Su found out that she was a young servant, and kicked her out of the Hou's mansion.

But what happened to being beaten to death by the Su family now?!

With a slightly concentrated expression, she put down her pen and ink, and walked quickly towards the gate of the Hou Mansion, not forgetting to say, "Call Su Shi to the main hall."

Wen Qiong asked the servants to lead the troublemaker into the mansion first, don't let the whole city know about the trouble, but that person is vicious one by one in the mansion, and he is afraid that he will walk in and come out sideways, and he will not enter the mansion.

When she arrived at the gate of Hou's Mansion, she saw the man in his early thirties under the door, dressed in Qinlou Chuguan's clothes, leaning on a black coffin, screaming for grievances to the world, and her heart sank.

It was exactly what she had guessed.

Nanny Song quickly followed and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Su refuses to come."

Wen Qiong's eyes were slightly cold, "I caused trouble, so it's easy to shake my hands."

Since Mrs. Su is like this, then don't blame her.

Immediately, she stepped out of the mansion door, her voice raised slightly, "If there is any grievance, then go to the government office, and you will file the case in court."

Her tone was light, and the voice fell, and the crowd watching all around suddenly became quiet.

The young lady wore a gentle snow-green dress, her expression was calm, and she spoke softly, but loudly, "There is a grievance, there is a debt, and whoever caused the trouble will bear the burden."

"The rest of the people in the Hou family are not afraid of the slanting shadow, and don't want to get involved in the grievances between you. If it was really done by someone from my Hou family, this person will be punished by the officials."

According to Yao Xuanci's temperament, when encountering this matter, he would probably take it directly to the government, and would not tolerate it at all.

Wen Qiong immediately left this terrible Hou's mansion. According to the grievances and grievances in the past, she didn't want to take care of Su's troubles at all.

After finishing speaking, regardless of what the man who was holding the coffin in a daze thought, he simply turned around and left.

She walked around the screen wall, and ran into the maid in Su's courtyard who was hiding behind the screen wall and eavesdropping. She just glanced at it and continued walking towards her own courtyard.

When Mrs. Su heard what Wen Qiong said in front of the Hou Mansion, she was so angry that she threw herself and smashed it.

After scolding her prodigal husband bloodyly, she was still not relieved, and rushed to Qingyu courtyard with a maid.

Unexpectedly, in the courtyard, Wen Qiong was told by the nanny Pang who was in charge that she had already left the mansion.

She ruthlessly kicked the gate of Qingyu Courtyard, "You bullying thing, you've only been home for a few days, how dare you treat me like this!"

Now all the people in the city know that her husband is not jealous of men and women, so it's all right for everyone in the Hou's mansion not to help her out, but to stand on the sidelines and watch her being sued by the young men of the Qin Louchu Pavilion and humiliated.

Su's expression was distorted with hatred, and his eyes were red, "There is no good thing up and down in this Hou's mansion!"

Wen's family wanted to let go of it, so she would find someone who could take care of it. This Hou Mansion is not just the concubine's final say.

It's noon now, and Changyun Restaurant is extremely lively. The lobby on the first floor is full of tables. Looking up, there are also many waiters in the Yage Pavilion on the second floor carrying delicious food back and forth.

Wen Qiong followed the guide to the food court on the third floor, and when she came up, there was a lot of silence in her ears. A Yao was stopped by the servant at the door of the Xiang Pavilion. She gave a comforting glance and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, she met a pair of beautiful and charming fox eyes. The woman was wearing a flowing golden feather and scarlet smoked skirt and sat on the main seat. When she saw Wen Qiong coming in, she sized her up unabashedly.

She looked at Wen Qiong, and Wen Qiong was naturally looking at her too. Compared with the side in the palace, Miss Zheng's eyes were more hostile, but not to the point where she wanted to skin her.

Zheng Ruyu has only met Wen Qiong a few times, and they only glanced at her from a distance. In her impression, she was a gentle woman with no sense of existence. Now that she looks at her... So what if she is attractive and temperamental, she is completely inferior to her in terms of beauty.

Immediately, he raised his chin in satisfaction and said arrogantly, "Finally, what deal do you want to make with me?"

Wen Qiong took a seat opposite her, ignoring the dissatisfaction in Zheng Ruyu's eyes, and looked at her calmly, "Miss Zheng thinks, how much gold, silver and treasure will it take for me to give up the position of Yao Xuanci's wife?"

Zheng Ruyu was taken aback when he heard the words, "Do you want to buy or sell this position?"

She thought that Wen Qiong would raise countless greedy conditions, and let her meet her demands before letting go. For this reason, Zheng Ruyu has made a lot of preparations these days, and even brought the gold medal for avoiding death that the old man won back then with him.

Wen Qiong smiled indifferently, "Business, isn't it just a transaction?"

Zheng Ruyu regained consciousness slowly, "Are you taking Yao Xuanci to sell money?!"

Zheng Ruyu couldn't believe it, "Wen Qiong, your husband, the number one scholar appointed by the emperor, is young and promising. He is the young minister of Dali Temple by himself, and he is also the son of the Marquis Mansion. How many noble women want to marry him as his wife?Are you blind to insult him with gold and silver? Do you have a conscience?!"

The person she tried so hard to get was actually bought and sold by this woman as a slave. It was so humiliating!

Wen Qiong glanced back at the door to make sure it was tightly closed, and then looked back calmly, "Miss Zheng Er, my eyes are fine."

"If you're dissatisfied, you don't have to do this business. As you said, there are many people who want to be his wife. I can find someone else. As long as I have enough money, I will pack up and leave."

She doesn't love power. After the Wen family was exiled, the only way for her mother to live well and for her brother to make a comeback is to carry the silver.

Wen Qiong just wanted to earn more money, even if the Wen family was still condemned and exiled in this life, she could spend a lot of money in exchange for her mother and brother to arrive in Suzhou safely.

In this way, she only needs silver taels.

She paused every word, "In my eyes, he is only worth gold and silver."

Zheng Ruyu was shocked by the indifference in her eyes. When this woman mentioned Yao Xuanci, she didn't even have a trace of affection.

Immediately, she immediately thought of the man who asked Bai Que to investigate——Xu Linshu, a young Jinshi who has a very good relationship with her brother, and heard that he looks handsome and gentle, and is a gentle scholar.

Looking carefully at the gentle woman in front of her, she suddenly felt different, and she couldn't help but hum in her heart.

A fickle woman does not obey women's morals.

Since he was young, Yao Xuanci has rejected her countless times. When he drove her out of the Marquis Mansion for Wen Qiong, did he ever think that his good wife was sitting in front of her, planning to exchange him for gold and silver treasures, ready toPack your bags and run away with your lover.

Thinking about it this way, Zheng Ruyu felt much happier, and looked at Wen Qiong with obvious contempt.

"How much silver do you want?"

Wen Qiong didn't know that Zheng Ruyu had thought so much, and she was keenly aware that her dislike for him seemed to have risen a bit, so she didn't care much.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, ten thousand gold bars."

Zheng Ruyu's complexion changed suddenly, and he slapped the table with gloomy eyes, "You are a lion, think of me as a banker, or take me for a fool?!"

"It's worth it for the second girl, isn't it?" Wen Qiong smiled slightly, "I know that the emperor gave you a marriage, but you failed to marry into the Hou's mansion as you wished, and even now you are infatuated with him.Lived in the Hou Mansion."

She watched the originally angry woman gradually sink into deep thought, and she was not anxious.

She is fulfilling them, Zheng Ruyu will not refuse.

At that time, what Yao Xuanci will lose is only a child of his blood and a woman who has disappeared with self-knowledge.

"The second girl can deliver the gold and silver tonight, and tomorrow not only Yao Xuanci will go to the Duke's mansion for a banquet."

Wen Qiong said calmly, and at the same time added another point, "And I will leave the Hou's mansion and the imperial city that day, and I will never obstruct your eyes again."

"If I renege on my promise, I will return the gold and silver to you without any loss."

Hearing her swearing, Zheng Ruyu held back the doubts in her heart, glanced at Wen Qiong's slender waist, and tried her best to restrain the jealousy in her eyes.

"Where's the baby in your womb?"

Wen Qiong gently raised her eyelashes, her gaze was slightly cold, "Miss Zheng Er, this is my child, and he will only be named Wen in the future, and his ancestral home is not the imperial city under your feet."

Looking for Zheng Ruyu to make a deal, the money is just passing by, what she needs is that Zheng Ruyu can hold Yao Xuanci back then, and give her brother more time to erase the artificial traces.

After saying this, she got up and looked down at those haughty and charming fox eyes, "I don't have much time, the second girl decides whether to make this deal or not."

"The marriage is bestowed by the emperor, unless I leave by myself, you can only continue to wait."

Zheng Ruyu gritted her teeth when she heard the words, and thought carefully for a long time, until Wen Qiong's legs and feet were a little sore, then she heard her say, "Okay."

If Wen Qiong breaks his promise, she will let Yao Xuanci know that the person next to his pillow has already given him a cuckold, and is even trying to elope.

Even if she can't get Yao Xuanci, Wen Qiong can't think about it!

Wen Qiong took out a very small folded piece of paper from her sleeve, gently placed it on the table, and said calmly, "The second girl sent the things here before 1:30."

"Tomorrow, Yao Xuanci will go to the banquet on time, and the second girl will know if I'm playing tricks on you."

She came to Changyun Restaurant not only for Zheng Ruyu.

After Wen Qiong left the pavilion on the third floor, she took Ayao to the backyard of the restaurant to find Xu Linshu, who was making plans.

The two chatted for more than half an hour on the matter of changing the shop to camp. Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Qiong bid farewell and left.

When we returned to Huai'an Marquis' Mansion, there was already a twilight in the western sky, and the fragments of sunlight poured down on the eaves and corridors of the roof, leaving mottled patches.

Wen Qiong changed her clothes to get rid of the smell of food and wine in the restaurant, and sat in the study with half-shoulder black hair, carefully writing the unfinished wish on the red paper.

The autumn wind is blowing slowly, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, which makes people feel refreshed. Just look up and look sideways, and you can see the sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted in front of the window.

She lowered her head, folded the red paper with her thin white hands, and stuffed it into the red purse.

If you are destined to go to Jiuchongshan Taoist Temple tomorrow, then bring your wish purse with you.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard the lintel of the wooden window being knocked lightly. Wen Qiong heard the sound and looked around, only to see the man in the black ink robe standing outside the window, looking at her with some joy in his handsome eyes.

She put down the red purse, "It's so early for you to return home, but you've finished all your official duties?"

In the past, he would return home by night, but now the sun has not set yet.

"I'll come back after I arrange things properly."

Yao Xuanci went around to the door, opened it and walked in, "What is Arjun up to?"

He twisted those red purses, and when he found the red paper inside, he wanted to take it out to take a look, but Wen Qiong raised his hand to take it back.

"The mother said that there is a century-old ginkgo tree on Jiuchong Mountain, which will become spiritual after absorbing the incense, so let me write some wishes and hang it on it."

She stuffed the last piece of red paper in and fastened her purse, "You can't peek at your wish, or it won't come true."

"Are you going to Jiuchongshan Taoist Temple?" The man was slightly startled, and then he frowned, "When are you going?"

"It's tomorrow." Wen Qiong was taken aback by his question, "You were woken up by me last night, I told you that time, how did you forget?"

last night?

Yao Xuanci froze.

He never woke up last night.
