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

When he walked to the gate, Wen Yidi felt someone chasing him behind him. He turned around suddenly and found Wen Yian standing behind him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Wen Yidi wanted to say something, but then he thought again, Wen Yi'an and his parents were a real family, so what position did he have to speak up. So, he looked into his brother's eyes quietly without saying a word.

The two looked at each other like this for a while, and Wen Yian said with difficulty:

"Brother, if the emperor asks you who should temporarily replace you as the emperor's merchant, just say me. Those people you are optimistic about are not trustworthy. Parents, please don't worry about it anymore, I will take care of it."

While Wen Yian spoke, Wen Yidi's eyes showed full of shock. He didn't tell anyone about delivering the note to the emperor. But what Wen Yi'an just said seemed to be clear about what he did.

However, Wen Yian had no intention of explaining, but continued:

"Brother, since you have made a choice, stick to it until the end and never look back."

After saying that, Wen Yi'an turned and left without a trace of hesitation in his steps. Wen Yidi stood and thought for a long time before slowly walking out.

He had a premonition in his heart that once he stepped out of this door, he would never have the chance to come back openly. However, he couldn't look back, he didn't want to repeat his previous life.

Wen Yidi returned to Qiongxian Building, hurriedly filled his stomach, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, Sixi woke him up softly and said worriedly:

"Master, someone came to the palace just now and asked you to come into the palace tonight. The Emperor has something to say to you face to face."

Hearing this, Wen Yidi's sleepiness immediately disappeared. He quickly got up, packed up, changed into low-key and decent clothes, and followed the father-in-law into the palace.

"You wait here for now, the emperor will be here soon."

The father-in-law took Wen Yidi to a side hall, whispered instructions, and left in a hurry. Wen Yidi stayed here, feeling full of uneasiness.

In the past, when the emperor summoned him, he would always ask innocuous questions in front of everyone. Even if you hit him, it won't be too obvious. At most, it will make him kneel for a while longer and endure more ridicule from others.

But this time it was different. The emperor was actually prepared to see him alone. Along the way, the father-in-law took him along small roads, as if he was afraid that others would see him.

Wen Yidi had never thought about whether this time entering the palace was a trap set for him. But the father-in-law was clearly a popular person in front of the emperor, and the words he sent were consistent with the memorial he had written before. Logically speaking, there would be no problem.

After thinking about it, Wen Yidi could only muster up his energy, carefully observe the surrounding situation, and discover the problem as early as possible.

But he waited and waited, but instead of waiting for the person who wanted to harm him, the emperor was waiting for him.

"Wen Yidi, the humble minister, comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Before Wen Yidi knelt firmly on the ground, he heard the emperor's voice:

"Get up."

When he got up and stood up, he saw the emperor sitting on the chair in front of him with a tired look on his face, and he felt a little at ease in his heart. It seems that the emperor just felt tired and didn't want to go to all the trouble, so he met him quietly here.

I just don’t know what important matter the emperor has that warrants a chat with him in the middle of the night. Sensing Wen Yidi's anxiety, the emperor spoke slowly:

"You don't need to be afraid. I called you here today just to ask you a few innocuous questions. Just answer them truthfully."

Wen Yidi nodded, thinking that he didn't have the guts to hide it from the emperor. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. But he didn't expect that the first question the emperor asked would stump him.

"To the Wen family, who is more important, you or Wen Yian?"

After a long time, Wen Yidi hesitated and said:

"It must be me. After all, I am the eldest son of the Wen family. Even the position of Royal Merchant was passed down to me."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, the emperor seemed to suddenly become interested. He looked carefully at Wen Yidi's face and realized that Wen Yidi looked different from the Wen family in his impression.

However, he looked familiar, but the emperor couldn't remember who he looked like for a while. Since I can't remember it, I won't think about it anymore. After all, there are more important things today.

"So, you know all the shady things the Wen family does behind the scenes?"

As he spoke, the emperor picked up a booklet, threw it directly at Wen Yidi, and said angrily:

"Read this first, and then think about what you have to say."

Under the emperor's sharp gaze, Wen Yidi gently opened the book and found that the names of people were recorded one after another. Behind each person's name, there is a number.

After just flipping through a few pages, Wen Yidi realized that this was a poor student that the Wen family secretly supported. However, he has never been involved in this matter and does not understand the specific situation.

He looked through it carefully for a long time before hesitatingly said:

"Your Majesty, this is the account book of the Wen family's financial aid to poor students. The corresponding number after each name is the Wen family's expenditure on this student."

The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and his face became increasingly gloomy. Wen Yidi knew that what the emperor wanted to hear was not what he said, but what the emperor wanted to know was the secret behind the Wen family.

Unfortunately, Wen Yidi didn't understand what the Wen family was doing behind the scenes. Rather than risking his life to deceive the emperor, he preferred to tell the truth. He didn't want to anger the emperor, and the emperor had not yet nodded in agreement that he wanted to go to Hezhou.

It wasn't until a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Wen Yidi's forehead that the emperor continued:

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. Let's talk about what you said in the memorial about wanting to do business in Hezhou."

When this matter was mentioned, Wen Yidi's eyes lit up and he shared his thoughts with the emperor. When talking about the candidate to temporarily replace him as the Royal Merchant, Wen Yidi hesitated for a moment and then spoke:

"Back to the emperor, I have a younger brother named Wen Yi'an. Although he is two years younger than me, he is the most reliable in speaking and doing things. I think he is the most suitable candidate among these people."

Regardless of their own life experiences, Wen Yidi and Wen Yian's relationship has been pretty good since childhood. Wen Yidi himself had some doubts about the personal choices he had put forward before.

He must be familiar with the affairs of the Wen family, and he must also have a suitable identity in order to intimidate the people under his command. After thinking about it, Wen Yidi found that Wen Yian was actually the best candidate.

"Wen Yi'an?"

Hearing this name, the emperor suddenly smiled and whispered to himself:

"Yi Di, Yi An, the names chosen by the Wen family are still so disgusting."
