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

Xu Shihuan and Si Xi worked hard together, and it took a long time to dress Wen Yian up like an old farmer. Afterwards, he took Wen Yian to the place arranged by Diao Yingxue.

On the way, Xu Shihuan met several acquaintances. They greeted Xu Shihuan warmly and inadvertently asked what was going on with Wen Yi'an, who was dressed as an old farmer.

"When I was in Hezhou, I met some refugees who borrowed two taels of silver from me. They said they had relatives in Yong'an City and would pay me back. Originally, I didn't expect the money to come back, but I didn't expect it. Ah, these people are so trustworthy."

Hearing what Xu Shihuan said, Wen Yian quickly gave a simple smile to several people, and reached out to take out a few radishes from the sack, ready to hand them to their hands.

"No, no, since Mr. Xu is busy, we won't delay you any longer."

These people didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. They quickly said a few polite words and left in a hurry. At this time, Xu Shihuan lowered his voice and said:

"I didn't realize it, but you are quite clever."

With this layer of disguise, the next journey for the two of them can be said to be smooth. After countless turns, the two finally arrived at the shop Diao Yingxue mentioned. Xu Shihuan stepped forward and knocked on the door. When someone responded and said the code, the door opened with a creak.

"You two guests, please take a seat inside!"

After entering the house, the shopkeeper took the two of them to the backyard. After making sure that no one was around, he tentatively spoke:

"Second Young Master?"

Wen Yian straightened his back and called his uncle honestly. Seeing Xu Shihuan's confused look, Wen Yian quickly introduced:

"Master Xu, this is a relative from my mother's side of the family. His surname is also Diao."

"Uncle, this is my brother Wen Yidi's wife, Mr. Xu."

Hearing that she was Wen Yidi's wife, Uncle Diao's eyes became evasive, as if he was trying to avoid something. When Xu Shihuan told Diao Yingxue the deal with him, he took a deep breath and said:

"Let's go into the house and talk, Yi An, just don't come in and go around by yourself."

"Uncle, I..."

Wen Yi'an never expected that his uncle would even want to hide it from himself. He wanted to fight for it again, but was frightened by the anger in Uncle Diao's eyes and dared not speak. Seeing Xu Shihuan and his uncle entering the house one after another, and hearing the sound of the house being locked, Wen Yi'an suppressed his curiosity and did not move forward.

"Master Xu, please sit down first. I have to find this thing slowly."

After Uncle Diao finished speaking, regardless of whether Xu Shihuan sat down or not, he moved the bookshelf in the room. It seemed that there was some secret passage hidden here. But after waiting and waiting, Xu Shihuan did not wait for the sound of the mechanism, but what he waited for was the sound of the wall being cut open.

The token Diao Yingxue mentioned was actually built directly into the wall. Judging from the appearance of the wall, it seemed that it had not been taken out for more than ten years.

Uncle Diao raised his hand tremblingly and carefully opened the wooden box he took out. He saw some things for children and a yellowed letter inside.

"The things are all here. Take a look and you will understand everything. That kid Wen Yian doesn't know anything about this. If Wen Yidi has any grudges in his heart, just ask him to come to me and don't involve Yi. install."

Xu Shihuan took the letter and read it carefully. While she was reading the letter, Uncle Diao also talked about this past event.

Looking through the list of prisoners in the sky jail, Xu Shihuan noticed that in the Wen family, both husband and wife often had the last name Wen. It can be inferred from the surname that those born in merchants often marry into merchants.

But Diao Yingxue was an exception.

Her father was a minor official near Yong'an City. A family like hers would not look down on merchants like the Wen family, but they would not let the Wen family bother with their plans.

But while accompanying her mother to visit relatives in Yong'an City, Diao Yingxue met the second young master of the Wen family, who later became Mr. Wen, and he could never forget it.

So she looked for opportunities again and again, just to meet Mr. Wen. As time passed, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

However, although the Diao family loved Diao Yingxue, they did not lose their principles. She can marry a few years later, or even stay married for the rest of her life, but she cannot marry a businessman.

After months of quarrels with her family, Diao Yingxue gradually backed down. Just when she was about to bow her head to her parents, something suddenly happened to the Diao family.

The imperial court allocated money to build roads, and corruption continued layer by layer. When it came to her father, only a few hundred taels of silver were left. But the road had to be repaired, and there was no other way. Master Diao could only act in a wrong way.

A road built by relying on speculation will never stand the test of time. Not long after the road was repaired, there was a heavy rain. After just a few days, the road became full of potholes again.

It happened to be the imperial examination, and many candidates were trapped halfway because of the road. Because there were so many people trapped, Lu's incident could no longer be concealed and spread to the emperor's ears.

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered people to arrest Master Diao. There are only two ways before the Diao family, either to make up for the lost money or to lose their lives.

Master Diao is just a minor official. How can he get these tens of thousands of taels of silver? The Diao family tried their best, but all they could raise was a drop in the bucket.

In despair, the second son of the Wen family came forward and proposed to marry Diao Yingxue. The amount of the betrothal gift was just enough for the Diao family to fill the money hole.

That afternoon, Diao Yingxue, wearing a pink dress and sitting in a small sedan chair, entered Wen Mansion through the side door. With the Wen family's betrothal gift, the Diao family finally saved their lives.

But for the Diao family, they were still worried about Diao Yingxue's marriage. The only thing that comforted them was that this uncle was the second son of the Wen family. A thankless official position like Huangshang was inherited by his elder brother.

After waiting and watching for several years, Diao Yingxue finally felt relieved and even considered having a child. At this moment, the eldest young master of the Wen family ended his own life and that of his child in an extremely tragic way.

From that day on, the second young master of the Wen family assumed the position of Huangshang. His and Diao Yingxue's children have also become candidates for the next imperial businessman.

For this reason, Diao Yingxue took Bizi Decoction almost all year round, regardless of the harm to the body. But as time goes by, there will always be times of negligence. By the time she found out she was ill, she was almost three months pregnant.

"Yingxue didn't want this child because the doctor said that she had been drinking Bizi Decoction for too long. After the child was born, it would be difficult for her to have a healthy body."

Uncle Diao sighed, seeming to regret his choice back then.

"But at that time, Yingxue was not too young. We, the Diao family, feel that since this child is here, it is God's will. If this is the case, let's give birth and give it a try."
