On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Chapter 119 Don’t let father know about this matter

The days in Hezhou were like an unrealistic dream for Wen Yidi. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after finishing Powu's dumplings and setting off the last firecracker, he knew it was time to wake up from his dream.

On the way, Wen Yidi still stayed in Xu Shihuan's carriage, playing the role of "book boy" conscientiously. But some things are different from when they came.

Back in Yong'an City, the emperor did not reward Xu Shihuan lavishly, but instead rewarded Wen Yidi with many things. However, everyone knew that the emperor wanted to wait for the results of Xu Shihuan's examination to be rewarded.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the legitimate daughter of the Xu family can pass the Jinshi exam, her career will be prosperous.

During the period of departure, several minor and minor things happened in Yongan City:

One is the matter of King Jin marrying his concubine. Originally, Li Yunfeng and Gao Zimo's marriage was scheduled for spring. But for some reason, Taifu Gao hurriedly entered the palace before the Chinese New Year and couldn't kneel in front of the emperor's palace.

The next day, King Jin received an imperial edict and ordered the two to get married as soon as possible. The wedding came in a hurry, and it coincided with the Chinese New Year. The wedding day was like a robbery.

Even so, there are still many sharp-eyed people who saw the clues. Gao Zimo's belly was slightly bulging, and he looked like he had seen better days. In this way, the scandal between the two people at the poetry meeting can be regarded as a reality.

However, those rumors about King Jin not being promoted were self-defeating.

"Whose child is this? His little finger-sized thing is so easy to use? Why don't I believe it?"

Xu Shihuan asked with surprise on his face after listening to Wen Yidi's gossip about Li Yunfeng and Gao Zimo.

Wen Yidi said helplessly:

"Shihuan, can we forget about this? You said it's appropriate for you to talk about this in front of me?"

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan smiled and seemed a little embarrassed. In front of her, Wen Yidi would never say anything obscene, but she...

"There is one more thing about Duan Qinglian."

Wen Yidi didn't want to continue discussing this topic with her, so he went on to talk about other things.

This winter, it is indeed surprisingly cold. The firewood stored in ordinary people's homes was burned out before the winter was over. In order to protect the family from the cold, the men in the family had no choice but to go to the mountains to chop firewood.

The firewood in the nearby mountains has been cut down, so we have to go further. Even so, the firewood at home was still not enough.

The common people had no choice but to gather at the city gate and beg the court to give them a way to survive. Speaking of this, Wen Yidi's expression changed slightly.

On the day he returned to Yong'an City, he heard from his subordinates that because merchants were driving up the prices of charcoal fires and cotton-padded clothes, Mr. Wen was sent to the palace by the emperor and severely punished.

Until now, his father is still bedridden, and it seems that he is really seriously injured.

But even if merchants lower the price of charcoal fires, most people still cannot afford them. The emperor originally wanted to use money to send the gathered people away, but he was worried that if he started this way, they would gather at the city gate to make trouble if something happened in the future.

When the emperor was in trouble, Duan Qinglian got a lot of firewood from nowhere and distributed it with his own hands to the people gathered at the city gate.

Although firewood is not expensive, getting so much in such a short time is not an easy task. Everyone knows that Duan Qinglian has expert guidance behind her.

But no matter what, she solved a troublesome problem for the emperor and gained a good reputation among the people. She really killed two birds with one stone.

"The third prince is really dedicated to Duan Qinglian."

Xu Shihuan couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect Li Yunli to do this for Duan Qinglian. But after hearing this, Wen Yidi's eyes became a little complicated. As far as he knew, the firewood that Duan Qinglian gave to the people was secretly prepared by the Wen family.

He was certain that the only connection between the third prince and the Wen family was through him. Or, it was the third prince who had been lying to him. Or, there is another relationship between Duan Qinglian and the Wen family.

The third prince couldn't lie for someone like him, so the answer must be the latter.

He was not in a hurry to tell Xu Shihuan his speculations. The test was coming soon, and he should not let Xu Shihuan be distracted by these things.

He will slowly investigate the Wen family's affairs by himself.

"Anyway, please pay more attention to Duan Qinglian. I don't know if she will give you a stumbling block when you try."

Wen Yidi's instructions were serious, and Xu Shihuan also knew that he had good intentions. After all, he had to be on guard against others. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say:

"As for your life experience, the people sent by my grandfather are still investigating. If there is any news, they will inform you as soon as possible. You must also be careful during these days. After all, I have not passed the examination. If something happens, I will not It’s convenient to come forward to protect you.”

The two of them warned each other for a long time before Wen Yidi got into the secret passage and returned to Qiongxian Tower.

"Sixi, I will invite all the shopkeepers from each shop over tomorrow night. I have some important things to ask them."

Si Xi responded and was about to make a list of people to invite when she heard her master add:

"This matter must be carried out quietly, and try not to let the master know."

"Yes, master."

For some reason, Si Xi's heart was full of uneasiness. He had a strong feeling in his heart that something would be different after his master went out this time.

No matter what happens, he will stand by his master's side. He has seen all the suffering his master has suffered over the years and his kindness to his servants.

There were some words that it was not convenient for him, a servant, to say. However, the Wen family has really owed a lot to the eldest young master in recent years.

He was just worried that even if his master found out something, he would still be soft-hearted for the sake of his upbringing. If so, it is the master himself who suffers in the end.

A wound that oozes pus will only get worse if you don't work hard to clean it. I hope the eldest young master can be ruthless and not give up halfway.
