reborn wife

Chapter 56

To be honest, Wen Zhiru is really a little wronged right now.

Obviously it was Jin Yihui and that woman who were not clear about it, but why did it turn out that he was unreasonable in the end?

He still misses the elder son who was always hugging him a few days ago, although he was a little dishonest, but very doting.

But under the current situation, of course he couldn't put down his face and go to Jin Yihui to ask for peace.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he lost the mood to do anything, so Wen Zhiru decided to go back to bed and continue sleeping with his head covered!

This sleep lasted until dusk, and Wen Zhiru woke up from hunger.

The morning hangover was almost gone, and he was thinking about ordering someone to get something to eat, when a servant came to report that dinner was ready, and the magistrate invited him and the prince to eat in the front hall.

Wen Zhiru tidied up and came to the front hall, where the prefect Liu An and Jin Yihui were already sitting.

Alienated for a whole day, seeing Wen Zhiru now, Jin Yihui really wanted to ask him to sit next to him, so as to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between the two, but Wen Zhiru saw the lingering ghost at a glance. Standing behind Jin Yihun, Mu Wanqian, who looked like a little daughter-in-law with lowered brows, sneered in her heart, and sat at the farthest position from her.

After all, Liu An knows how to do things, but I haven't seen her for a few hours. Mu Wanqian has already changed into an expensive satin dress, and there are many golden jade beads on her hair. It is a little more bright and moving.

If you don't say it, you really look like a noble lady.

There were only three people sitting at the dinner table today, and even Liu An's original wife was not there. No matter how shameless Mu Wanqian was, she would not feel that she was qualified to sit at this table, but she had already followed Now, at this moment, he can only follow behind Jin Yihui, serve him tea and water, and serve his meals.

Liu An quickly noticed the weird atmosphere at the dinner table today. Of course, he couldn't think of such a deep-seated reason, but simply thought that Wen Zhiru looked down on Mu Wanqian's background, and felt that she had insulted the status of the eldest son.

But about the relationship between men and women, he is not good for an outsider to say anything. Fortunately, the son of the virtuous king really has no love for this woman surnamed Mu. He is betting on the right treasure this time. Current affairs know how to repay kindness.

Since the scene was embarrassing, Liu Zhifu could only pretend to bring the topic to official business, and asked whether Jin Yihui had gained anything from his investigations of public sentiments in the past few days, and lamented hypocritically that he was really not a competent parent official, otherwise the people of Shanxi You can live better and so on.

Jin Yihui also followed his words and asked about the so-called official warehouse built ten miles outside the city that Miss Xiangying of Tianxianglou mentioned that day.

When Liu An was asked this question, he felt a bit of a "thump" in his heart. Luckily, the building was already empty, but Liu An was still vague, saying that the weather has been bad for the past few years, the county is barren, and the official warehouse has long been exhausted. The food is almost wasted, trying to muddle through.

Jin Yihui also understood that he couldn't really ask Liu An anything, but seeing his flickering attitude, he had some confidence in his heart.

It seems that there must be an opportunity to go to a private interview in person...

Satisfied with wine and food, Liu Zhifu ordered someone to bring freshly brewed tea and fresh melons and fruits.

Mu Wanqian acted obediently as a qualified background all night, and Jin Yihui became more and more indifferent to her since she woke up in the morning. She also understood what the other party was thinking about, and always wanted to give him some time, doing both left and right. At this point, now I should show a gentle and submissive side, and wait for him to accept it slowly.

But when the topic changed, Jin Yihui's first request was for Liu An to send Mu Wanqian back to Xu's house.

"Actually, Mrs. Xu and the son haven't seen each other for many years, so it's time to catch up on the old days. There are plenty of rooms in the house, and the officials can order someone to clean up a room for Mrs. Xu to live in for a few days."

"Lord Liu, Mr. Wen and I are here for official business, how can we use the public for personal gain? Besides, Mrs. Xu is married and a woman, and it is always inconvenient to live in the government office."

The sweetheart overturned the jar of jealousy, and he had already made a fuss that he couldn't handle. After last night, this Mu Wanqian didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp. Think about it well.

But where is Mu Wanqian willing to leave? She managed to climb up to this level of relationship and follow Jin Yihui. Even if she is a concubine, it is better than being a widow like she is now. What's more, if she can return to the capital and have her mother Backing up, Prince Xian will always give her some face for her father's sake.It doesn't matter whether Jin Yihun likes himself or not, as long as he lives comfortably in the future.

Thinking of this, Mu Wanqian's eyes immediately turned red, and she began to cry with a trembling voice, "Wanqian knows that she is humble and is not worthy of staying with the prince, but if she goes back... her in-laws... her in-laws will blame me again, Blaming me for killing their son, and beating and scolding me frequently, I am now alone, and... dare not tell... my mother, for fear that she will worry, I might as well... hit one head... to death here .” As he spoke, he put on a look of wanting to die.

The maid in Liu An's mansion hurried over to grab Mu Wanqian.

Liu An persuaded: "Mrs. Xu, if you have something to say, why are you so overwhelmed? If the Xu family and his wife dare to make things difficult for you, there will always be the elder son who will make decisions for you, right? The elder son has a kind heart and has known you for many years. How could I have the heart to push you into that dire situation?"

Of course, if this play is performed well, there must be an audience to support it. Jin Yihui was unmoved, but Wen Zhiru couldn't help but said: "Liu Zhifu's words are wrong. You are the parent official here, and the people of Taiyuan Prefecture are suffering. , it should be up to you to come forward, shouldn’t it? It’s too much to bother the crown prince with such a trivial matter.”

"This..." After all, Liu An is used to scrambling in the officialdom, and he can speak eloquently without ambiguity. The conflict between the two elders of the Xu family and Mrs. Xu is someone else's housework after all, it's not easy for lower officials to intervene!"

"It's not easy for you, a parent official, to intervene, so the son of the world is even more of an outsider."

Mu Wanqian seized the time and continued to pretend to be pitiful, "You guys don't need to worry about Wanqian anymore, it's Wanqian's life that is hard to blame, and she can't blame anyone." She cried so much that her heart was broken, and she wanted to keep hitting the wall while being pulled by the maid.

It's a pity that people who should watch such a wonderful drama are always indifferent.The matter was caused by him, so what's the point of pretending to be noble in clothes now?

The fire in Wen Zhiru's heart hasn't subsided yet, so naturally he won't let Jin Yihun stay out of the matter, "My lord, Mrs. Xu is your old friend after all, look at this..."

Jin Yihui frowned, and replied in a low voice: "I will order someone to intercede with the two elders of the Xu family, so that they will not embarrass you anymore. Later, I will personally write a letter to your mother. If the Xu family Er Lao Yunken, let the Mu family send someone to pick you up and return to the capital!"

"But..." Speaking of this, Mu Wanqian became anxious, what she wanted was not to go back to her mother's house!

Only Wen Zhiru sneered in his heart.

Does this mean that when something happens, you rush to drive people away so that you can get rid of the relationship?

How can there be such a good thing in this world!These two people disgusted me all day, and now I want to settle the matter with these two sentences?

Now that a good show starts, there's no reason why it shouldn't end, right?

"It will take a month to send a letter from here to the capital. Since she will return to the capital sooner or later, it will be inconvenient for Mrs. Xu to travel alone. Why don't you stay in the government office first! When the time comes, I will be with you The son will go back together, and there will be someone to take care of him on the way."

"... Zhiru!" This time it was finally Jin Yihui's turn to be restless.

Wen Zhiru, what kind of disease is he suffering from?Things have come to this, what does he mean by keeping this woman?Is he determined to continue fighting with himself?

"Oh, that's right." Facing Jin Yihun's questioning, Wen Zhiru pretended not to hear it, and continued on his own, "I think that since Mrs. Xu is an old friend with the son and familiar with the son's daily habits, It just so happened that we left Beijing in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring any servants with us, if Mrs. Xu doesn't mind, I will trouble you to help take care of the son's daily life in the next few days!"

"Do not--"

"I don't mind, I don't mind! Wanqian thanked Mr. Wen for his success!"

Jin Yihui was about to refuse, but Mu Wanqian would not give him a chance to say this, so she nodded in haste.

Jin Yihun glanced at Wen Zhiru slightly annoyed, and finally said nothing.

******************************************************************************

The days of the Cold War were still going on, Wen Zhiru was finally happy to have a leisurely time, and all private soldiers cases were left to Jin Yihui to work on himself.

Although it was Jin Yihun who said the words "calm and calm" at the beginning, it was Wen Zhiru who actually implemented it.

Many times Jin Yihun wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Wen Zhiru and ease the relationship, but he blocked him lukewarmly, so that Jin Yihui couldn't even concentrate on investigating the case.

On this day, the heavy snow that had been falling for many days finally stopped.

The sunshine after the snow is really beautiful. Wen Zhiru is sitting in the yard basking in the sun and eating pastries.

A cold cloud suddenly jumped down from the roof, blocking the large swath of sunlight in front of Wen Zhiru.

Wen Zhiru didn't even look up at him, but waved away the girl who was serving him, and asked in a low voice, "But what did you find?"

"Yes, master. This subordinate followed Madam Xu for a few days and finally found something useful." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of densely written paper.

Wen Zhiru briefly glanced at the above content, hesitated to speak: "She has..."

Leng Yun: "Yes, what is written on it is indeed correct. Do you want to expose her now, Master?"

"No hurry." Wen Zhiru put the paper away, "She is dreaming of the princess concubine right now, wouldn't it be too cruel to disturb her so soon?"

Leng Yun: "Then... Shizi, do you want to inform me?"

"Inform him? If he wanted to, he should have found out about this woman long ago. Why bother me to do it myself?"

"But if the crown prince is kept in the dark, if things break out, this..."

"Trouble! Of course you have to make a fuss, you have to make a fuss! If this thing doesn't make a fuss, how will this scene end?" At that time, it will depend on whether you, a flirtatious son, can calm down.

"Master, this..." This is to push the prince into the fire pit!

"Why, are you still worried about him? Why don't you go and inform Shi Ziye?"

Leng Yun was shocked: "Subordinates don't dare!" It's not something ordinary people can resist when his young master gets angry.

"Yeah." Wen Zhiru took out a few banknotes, "Show me those people. They will be indispensable for this big show."

"Yes, young master, this subordinate understands."

******************************************************************************

Just after giving orders to Leng Yun, when she looked up, she saw Mu Wanqian coming from a distance, as if she had just returned from outside the mansion.

She has been pale these few days and looks very tired.

Wen Zhiru suddenly stopped her, "Mrs. Xu!"

Mu Wanqian stopped and walked to salute, "Mr. Wen is well."

"Madam Xu, are you used to living in the government office these days?"

"Thanks to the care of the prince and Mr. Wen, everything here is naturally fine."

"Madam Xu doesn't look very well, is she feeling unwell?"

"Uh...Maybe I was in a hurry just now, it's okay."

"It's hard to walk in the snow, Mrs. Xu should be more careful." Wen Zhiru signaled the servants to bring another chair and put it in the courtyard, "Sit down and rest."

"No need, it's rare that Mr. Wen has the pleasure of admiring the snow, so it would be bad for me to disturb you here."

Mu Wanqian actually didn't want to have more contact with Wen Zhiru, she knew from the first glance that the eldest son of the Wen family didn't like her, even when he suddenly proposed to keep her that day, there was a hint of conspiracy .

Now suddenly such a hot show of favor, I always feel something is wrong.

"Mrs. Xu will live in this government office for a while, and if they go back to the capital together, they will inevitably meet each other. Why do you have to see outsiders like this?"

"Then... I would like to thank Mr. Wen."

Mu Wanqian sat down here, and the girl immediately served tea and snacks.

"Today's freshly brewed tea, the tea just sent by Liu Zhifu, the son likes strong tea, and the ones he prepared before are always not to his liking. Mrs. Xu knows what the son likes best, why don't you help me to taste it? ?”

"Uh..." Mu Wanqian's face suddenly turned paler, and the hand holding the teacup trembled a little, "I'm just a woman from a humble family background, how can I know how to taste tea, I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Wen .”

Wen Zhiru didn't force it, "That's right, I'm not used to the taste of this tea." He pushed another plate of pastries over, "Today, I told them to put less sugar in the almond cakes newly made by the cook in the government office. Slightly sweet and delicious, but not too greasy. I heard that Mrs. Xu's cooking skills are also good, and you have taken care of my son's food these days, why don't you comment on it?"

"This... Wanqian has not been able to touch almonds since she was a child, and she would get rashes all over her body every time she ate them. The doctor also told her not to eat them. I am really sorry."

"Oh? Is that so?" Wen Zhiru squinted his eyes, and looked at Mu Wanqian finally showing impatience, "Madam Xu can't drink tea or eat snacks, but I didn't greet well and neglected .”

"Mr. Wen can't say that. It's Wanqian's blessing that has failed Mr. Wen's kindness."

"Since it's a good intention, why don't you try it?" Wen Zhiru slowed down when he said this, every word was threatening.

"Mr. Wen..." Mu Wanqian, who just refused with a smile just now, turned red in an instant, "I...I know, I'm lowly, even if I'm a servant, I'm not qualified to be by your side and the eldest son. Why do you have to be so hard on others?"

"It's difficult for others?" Wen Zhiru recollected this word, seeing the woman in front of her suddenly change her attitude, she seemed to understand something, the women in the boudoir play nothing more than these tricks, and they have to trouble themselves to accompany them in the show, " Yes! Now that you understand your identity, you shouldn't be shameless and insist on staying by the prince's side. Before your father-in-law's bones are cold, you can't wait to climb into other people's bed! There is no one more despicable than you in the world. "

"You... how could you... Hun..." Mu Wanqian suddenly raised her head, looked at the figure who was close at hand, with a look of grievance and heartbreak on her face, her tears couldn't stop.

"What's wrong with me? Is what I said wrong? Don't you just want to enter the palace in a delusional way? It's shameless to use such low-handed methods!"

"Zhiru! Enough is enough!" The son of the virtuous king, who couldn't bear to watch, finally spoke.

It's not that he feels sorry for Mu Wanqian, he just minds that a son of a family speaks so unreservedly.This is not the Wen Zhiru he likes.

Wen Zhiru followed Mu Wanqian's gaze and turned her head with a stiff expression, "You...why are you here?"

Jin Yihun had a serious expression and didn't answer.

Mu Wanqian thought that the other party finally couldn't bear to rescue her, and she just felt that her chance had come, so she was about to pounce on her while crying, "Woooooooh~~~~Hun, I...I don't have the face to live in this place." The world is over!"

Jin Yihui turned to avoid Mu Wanqian, and couldn't help scolding in a low voice, "If you really know your face, you shouldn't be here long ago!"

Mu Wanqian: "..."
