The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Although Wen Jinyu was resisting her father's arrangement in her heart, she still remembered what her father had told her in the morning.

She mumbled reluctantly, "Sister, brother-in-law, please come in."

After hearing Wen Jinyu's greeting, he just nodded slightly, without showing much emotion on his face.

The prince frowned slightly, as if he had noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere.

At this moment, Master Wen keenly noticed this situation. He knew that the atmosphere at this moment should not be tense, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "The rain is going to get heavier, so let's go in quickly and avoid getting wet." As he said that, he took the lead and walked into the house.

Afterwards, everyone entered the house one after another.

Xue Jinhua has always been following the prince, and the intimacy between the two is self-evident.

However, Master Wen seemed to have something important to discuss with the Crown Prince, so he turned to Xue Jinhua and said, "Huahua, you haven't seen your grandmother for a few days, right? She must miss you very much. Why don't you and Jinyu go to grandma's room and have a good chat to relieve your boredom?"

Xue Jinhua smiled brightly upon hearing this and answered readily, "Okay! Then I'll trouble you to accompany me."

Although Wen Jinyu looked reluctant, she still stood up slowly.

After everyone left the room, Master Wen sighed deeply, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, and then he said solemnly to Master Qian: "Master, I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period."

The prince quietly looked at the forced smile on Master Wen's face, and just lowered his eyes slightly. Under the silver mask, there was a hint of imperceptible coldness.

"During this time, the madam has been living in my mansion, which has indeed caused a lot of inconvenience to my family, but I have also been doing my best to take care of her, and I have been thinking in my heart that it would be a great honor for me if I could have the opportunity to do something practical for the Second Master." Master Wen said sincerely.

In fact, ever since his wife came to his house, the entire mansion was no longer as harmonious and peaceful as before. Quarrels often broke out over trivial matters, and the atmosphere at home became somewhat tense.

However, Master Wen was able to handle officialdom with ease, and he knew that all this was because of Master Qian's face.

Now, he has helped Master Qian Er so much that he doesn't care about the scattered and insignificant rewards he usually receives.

What he wanted was a tangible benefit, an opportunity to make further progress in officialdom, and a hope to make his family more prosperous.

He believed that as long as he got this benefit, all the inconveniences and disputes he had experienced before would be worth it.

How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not know?

His eyes flickered, and he said softly, "The Wen family has indeed helped me a lot, and I should indeed thank Master Wen, but I don't know how Master Wen wants me to repay him?"

Master Wen was overjoyed and quickly responded, "Second Master, you don't know that I have been working diligently in Nanling for so many years, and my official position has never changed..."

So you are asking for an official position?

The prince's eyes were as cold as ice, like the water in a cold pond, and he remained silent.

For a moment, Master Wen was also confused and couldn't guess what was in his mind.

After a long while, under heavy pressure, Master Wen still gritted his teeth and said, "If this matter embarrasses you, then just pretend that I never mentioned it..."

"can."

Before Master Wen finished speaking, the prince spoke directly, "Master Wen has helped me so much, and his official position should indeed be promoted."

Master Wen was overjoyed. He was just worried that his attempt to repay a favor would cause Master Qian to dislike him, so he couldn't help feeling a little regretful after he finished speaking.

Now that he agreed so readily, Master Wen felt that he was worrying too much.

"Tomorrow, Huahua and I will return to Kyoto. Master Wen, do you know what to do next?" Master Wen's smile had not yet faded when the prince's tone was as cold as the winter wind, piercing the bone. "After arriving in Kyoto, I don't want anyone to mention the matter of Madam's family."

The smile on Master Wen's face froze instantly.

He knew clearly in his heart that Master Qian was warning him that after this promotion, the young lady would no longer have anything to do with their Wen family.

"Second Master, don't worry, the Wen family knows how to do it."

The prince then nodded with satisfaction, but Master Wen's back began to sweat.

It seems that the Qian family does not want to have anything to do with the Wen family. He is still relying on his status as the father-in-law of the Qian family to continue to enrich himself. This is simply a pipe dream.

Mr. Wen was a cunning man, so he naturally understood that this topic should not be continued, so he quickly changed the subject to other things.

However, from beginning to end, the prince remained calm and only occasionally agreed with a few words.

The situation was so awkward that it made one feel extremely uncomfortable, but it was still bearable.

As for Xue Jinhua, as soon as she left the room, Wen Jinyu's expression immediately changed.

"Sister, now that you have such a good son-in-law, shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

In the corridor of the Wen Family Garden, Wen Jinyu's tone was full of provocation, while Xue Jinhua frowned slightly, "Sister, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, don't play dumb with me. You know very well in your heart that I was the first person the Qian family proposed to marry. If you hadn't come back, all of this would have been mine. Now that you've taken advantage of me, don't you know how to repay your kindness?"

At this moment, Xue Jinyu was arrogant and looked down on everyone, as if she was the only one who mattered in the world.

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but find it ridiculous. Although Wen Jinyu didn't know that she was not her biological sister, and didn't know that she was the first person from the Qian family to propose marriage, she was so arrogant that it really made people feel sad for the deceased Miss Wen.

"So what do you think, sister?"

"How about this, you just give the betrothal gift from the Qian family to me directly, how about that?" Wen Jinyu said, "After you marry him, you will be Madam Qian, and everything in the Qian family will be yours in the future. I believe that sister won't be so stingy as to not even give me such a small thing, right?"

Something like this?

Qingyi and Sakura, who were standing by, couldn't help but twitch their lips after hearing this.

The betrothal gift sent by the Qian family is more than enough to marry a princess, but Wen Jinyu actually thinks it is just a trivial thing?

Moreover, this Wen Jinyu is simply ignorant. Why would she want something else but actually set her sights on someone else's betrothal gift?

"Sister, you are right. I am a stingy person. I will definitely not give this betrothal gift to you, my sister." Xue Jinhua refused without even thinking about it.

Wen Jinyu's expression suddenly turned ugly, and she shouted in embarrassment: "Wen Jinhua, you are grateful but don't want to repay me. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"Conscience? What kind of rare thing is that? Do you have it, sister?"

"Wen Jinhua, you have married someone above you, and you have thrown your family out of your mind after getting the benefits, right?" Wen Jinyu was so angry that she was like a balloon about to explode. "Even if you are married, you are still the daughter of the Wen family. It is your unshirkable responsibility to respect the Wen family."

"Oh, according to what my sister said, it was Master Wen's intention to ask for the betrothal gift from the Qian family?" Xue Jinhua directly misinterpreted her words and said, "That's perfect. I'm here today, so I can ask Master Wen in person."

"You...are simply going too far." Wen Jinyu stamped her feet in anger, as if she was going to stamp a hole in the ground beneath her feet. "I'm going to tell grandma right now and let her punish you."

Qing Yi asked cautiously, "Madam, do we still need to go see the old lady?"

"Of course." Xue Jinhua looked at the raindrops hitting the banana leaves like beads that had broken off a string, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Since I'm using the identity of the eldest daughter of the Wen family, I have to do more for her."

During this period of time, Xue Jinhua had already understood most of the Wen family's affairs.

Looking back to the past, when Mr. Wen was still a poor scholar, he had a special liking for places of romance and love, and it was here that he met Miss Wen's mother.

The love between the two was as strong as gold, and Miss Wen's mother even brought a generous dowry and resolutely married Master Wen.

Unexpectedly, Old Madam Wen looked down on this woman who came from a brothel, and insisted on forcing Mr. Wen to divorce his wife and then marry her niece from her mother's family.

Originally, I thought that Master Wen was truly affectionate towards her mother, but... when her mother returned all the dowry, Master Wen became cold and indifferent to her.

The Wen family relied on her mother's dowry to bribe people and was able to obtain her current position as a minor official.

However, the Wen family not only had no gratitude towards her, but instead felt disgusted with her.

He not only despises her low status, but also covets her generous dowry.

After doing so many bad things, he still tries to take advantage of others. Is there such a good thing in this world?
