On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red
Chapter 56 The bell is like a knife but a mouth full of heart.
In the three days since Wen Yidi's disappearance, not only was the Wen Mansion a mess, but the Wen family's shops, large and small, seemed to have lost their backbone, and they always felt that there was something missing.
On weekdays, no matter how busy Wen Yidi is, he will take time to visit each shop and ask each shopkeeper if they have encountered any troubles, or give them advice on how to make the business better.
As for other shops, although they are not owned by the Wen family, they still have to listen to the ideas of the imperial merchant Wen family when encountering major events. The disappearance of Wen Yidi caused the entire merchants in Yong'an City to panic.
Fortunately, he's back.
After just one day's rest, Wen Yidi resumed his usual life. He is even busier than before. It wasn't until it was completely dark outside that he could return to Qiongxian Tower to rest for a while.
Qiongxian Building is a restaurant, where you can only eat food, but not stay in the hotel. But this is one of the most important places in the Wen family. Most of the receptions and news gatherings are done here.
Therefore, behind the warehouse in the backyard, there is a small room. Usually when he is too busy to go back to Wen Mansion, Wen Yidi will spend the night here.
Early this morning, Wen Yidi said hello to his family and said that he had been busy with too many things recently and decided to live in Qiongxian Building permanently. When the two elders of the Wen family heard the news, they only said to take care of themselves, but didn't pay much attention to it.
At this moment, Si Xi was lying on the small bed in Qiongxianlou, feeling very anxious.
As before, he followed Wen Yidi into the small room in Qiongxian Building. There are two rooms in this house, one small one is outside, where Sixi rests and keeps vigil. There is a larger room inside, where Wen Yidi reads his account books and rests.
As soon as Si Xi entered the room and was about to help Wen Yidi wash up, she saw his young master knocking on the wall of the back room a few times. Then, a secret door appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Sixi was so frightened that he froze in place. He is a son of the Wen family and has been with Wen Yidi since he could remember. He knew exactly what was in the Wen family's house.
But when did this secret door appear? He didn't know anything about it.
Wen Yidi looked at Si Xi looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but say:
"What are you still waiting for? Come here quickly."
Si Xi walked over quickly, preparing to follow his young master into the secret door.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yidi had no intention of letting him in. Instead, he handed him a rope and warned:
"If someone comes to see me, ring the bell immediately and find a way to hold the person back until I come back."
Sixi didn't know where Wen Yidi was going or how long he would be gone. But since the master ordered it, he had to do it well.
After explaining to Sixi, Wen Yidi entered the secret door with confidence. He raised his hand and pressed it, and the wall of the inner room slowly closed. After a while, no trace could be seen there.
After entering the secret door, there is a stone room. At the end of the stone chamber, there is a passage leading underground. Compared to the exquisite stone chamber, this passage is a bit rough.
Wen Yidi didn't show any pretense and walked down in three or two steps. But after a moment, he saw some light ahead and climbed up.
Then, he appeared in the backyard of Guan Mansion.
A person crawled out of the secret passage in the backyard, but the servants of Guan Mansion seemed not to notice and did whatever they had to do. Only Lingdang showed a complicated expression when she saw Wen Yidi, and reluctantly came forward and said:
"Miss is taking a bath. You go change clothes first, and then go to the room to wait."
Wen Yidi put on the clothes prepared by Lingdang and then entered the house. Lingdang rolled her eyes at him, brought a few steaming meals, and said:
"Eat! Miss, it will take a while."
Wen Yidi smiled kindly at her and said:
"I ate out in the afternoon."
Unexpectedly, Ling Dang's eyes suddenly widened and he said sternly:
"You can eat just as you are told. Look at how skinny you are. If you don't eat more to gain weight, I'm afraid of hurting my young lady!"
After saying that, she pushed the bowl full of rice in front of Wen Yidi, as if she wanted to stare at him as he ate.
Wen Yidi smiled helplessly. He looked at the dishes on the table and found that they suited his taste very well. Especially the old duck soup. He found it delicious last time and couldn't help but drink an extra bowl. He didn't expect to prepare it again this time.
At this time, two and a half hours had passed since he had lunch in the afternoon. Seeing this delicious meal again, he really felt a little hungry.
In just a quarter of an hour, Wen Yidi finished the meal brought by Ling Ding. Ling Ding put away the dishes and chopsticks and warned:
"I will guard the bell in the secret passage. If the bell rings, I will come and call you. Mr. Wen, remember not to wake the lady!"
After saying that, she walked out with the bowls and chopsticks in hand.
Wen Yidi waited for a while before Xu Shihuan entered the room. I saw that her long hair had been twisted to half dry, and she was wearing a navy blue cotton robe, wrapped tightly.
Seeing Wen Yidi waiting in the room, Xu Shihuan didn't show much emotion on his face. She wiped her hair and asked:
"Have you had dinner tonight?"
There was some surprise in Wen Yidi's eyes. He thought that the meal just now was ordered by Xu Shihuan, but he didn't expect that it was prepared by Ling Dang.
"I just ate a lot here, and it was brought here by Lingdang."
Only then did a smile appear on Xu Shihuan's face, and there was even some joy in his voice:
"This girl Lingdang is a sharp-tongued person. Although her words don't sound nice, her actual actions are not ambiguous at all."
What Xu Shihuan didn't say was that Lingdang was afraid that Wen Yidi was half-master. She thought she liked Wen Yidi's appearance, and today she came to ask if Wen Yidi had applied the scar-removing cream on time, saying that it would not look good if there were scars.
Wen Yidi did not pretend to be sentimental, thinking that Lingdang did all this for himself.
"She did it for Miss Xu's sake. Believe it or not, if you get tired of talking about me now, Lingdang won't even give me a piece of cornmeal."
Xu Shihuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wen Yidi say this.
"So, you must not fall out of favor, otherwise you won't even be able to drink saliva here."
The two joked for a while before getting down to business. One is that Wen Yidi pretended to have amnesia. Judging from the current reactions of everyone, most people still believe it.
The second was the sale of Hezhou’s cattle and sheep to Yong’an City. Wen Yidi had spent a lot of effort to receive some leftovers for making beef jerky from Hezhou. The scraps here can be made into snacks, but they cannot be sold on the table, and naturally they cannot be sold at a high price.
But Guan Jiajun in Hezhou raised a lot of cattle and sheep. They were unwilling to sell to merchants before because they were worried that the merchants would take advantage of them.
But now that Wen Yidi and Xu Shihuan were on the same boat, they no longer had such worries. With Xu Shihuan's relationship, Hezhou's cattle and sheep can be turned into nothing but silver in Wen Yidi's hands.
This shady business did not need to be given to the emperor 70%, but it all went into the pockets of Wen Yidi and Xu Shihuan. With this money, no matter what you do in the future, it will be much easier.
