Wen Renying and Youshi also nodded. Wen Renying knew that Li Ruoshui was strange, but it didn't stop her from liking her poems.
Wen Renyang spoke slowly, "Poetry is just a minor art after all."
Xiaocao smiled, "Indeed." As expected, Xiaosi is the most caring, while others only hurt her heart.
Wen Renying had come to her senses, "Fourth sister doesn't like it?" Was there any special reason, or was Fourth sister also...
"I am a rough man and I don't understand poetry. Seventh sister can also understand that this is the rough man's jealousy of those talented women." Xiaocao said self-deprecatingly with a smile.
Wen Renying heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that her fourth sister also had a problem. "It is quite enviable."
Having said that, no one took it to heart.
Xiaocao is not someone who can perform drills. The reason why he was not noticed to be abnormal just now was because of the position where he was standing and he tried not to show his emotions when he spoke. However, it would be better to stop here. If he continued, he would be exposed.
He went upstairs and went straight into the private room, closed the door, and blocked himself off from all attention.
The shopkeeper personally led the way and seemed very attentive. Everyone ordered tea and snacks. The shopkeeper said, "Please wait a moment," and then left.
My legs and feet can finally have a good rest. I've been standing there for so long that they feel numb.
Xiaocao held up her head. She had been in surgery for several hours, or even more than ten hours, but she had never felt this way.
While they were chatting among themselves, they didn't know that there were other people in the Tianzihao, two private rooms away. One of them was Xiaocao's late husband who was supposed to be dead, a man with a fake surname of Xue, but whose real surname was Wei and whose name was Tingyu.
Prince Wei wanted to see Xiaocao all the time, but today was indeed a coincidence.
Because of this coincidence, they were able to see a very unique drama.
"The Crown Prince's brother-in-law has long been famous, but today is the first time I know that he is such a powerful character. If he gets angry, he can be so difficult to deal with. But given his broad knowledge, it's no wonder that His Majesty's expression was almost unable to hold back, and he even bestowed him with a gold medal, giving him the privilege of meeting the emperor in front of the palace. The gold medal has been there for four or five years, and he has never used it. Many people have probably almost forgotten about it, but looking at his expression just now, do they think he is going to use the gold medal?" Although they were in a teahouse, the person who was speaking was leisurely peeling peanuts and drinking wine.
Wei Tingyu sat quietly in the wooden wheelchair, without saying a word, looking as if in a trance.
"Brother, don't you have anything to say?" The man's eyes rolled and he suddenly smiled maliciously, "Brother, when you die, why not entrust your sister-in-law to me? Don't worry, I will take good care of her. Every year on your death anniversary, I will bring him to burn paper and incense for you. When our son and daughter are born, I will bring them to kowtow to you as well."
Wei Tingyu's gaze stabbed at him like a knife, and there was really a tendency to cut him into pieces. "Jin Wenjie, if you want to die, I don't mind sending you to the underworld to wait for me first."
Jin Wenjie immediately shut up, but after a glass of wine, he couldn't help talking again, "What are you going to do about that kid Yuan Qiyu? Although there is a 70% chance that his future will be ruined by your brother-in-law, he has a big backer behind him, so his life will not be bad. And it may be ruined for a while, but not for a lifetime. If we make an enemy, Wenren may be implicated."
Before, when Yuan Qiyu humiliated Wei Tingyu's wife, the look in Wei Tingyu's eyes that looked like he wanted to tear her into pieces was truly chilling. It would be strange for Wei Tingyu, a man with such a vicious heart and ruthless hands, to let Yuan Qiyu go.
Wei Tingyu's slender fingers stroked the edge of the teacup. His hands, like his face, were abnormally pale, with little flesh, and the skin looked very thin, with blue veins faintly visible.
At this moment, he was not angry, but quiet and calm. His fancy clothes, which were much thicker than those of ordinary people, made him look extremely noble.
“When a person dies, everything is gone.”
Jin Wenjie almost jumped up when he heard this. "No, ancestor, please don't do anything rash. Yuan Qiyu has registered with Prince Dun. If you touch him, you will definitely have to go through Prince Dun. Prince Dun is the prince, and you are just a minister. If His Majesty knows about it, won't all your previous efforts be wasted? Do you still want your wife to live a peaceful life? And it is related to your Pingyang Marquis Mansion. If you let go and see the King of Hell, won't your mother become a punching bag?"
Wei Tingyu glanced at the other party and said nothing, as if he had given up this terrible idea. In fact, if he wanted to do it, he would naturally make things seamless.
However, even if the person in front of him is a life-and-death friend, who is more like a brother than a brother, he will not reveal his plan to him. It is not because he does not trust the other party, but because he does not want the other party to get involved.
"Master, the second young master is coming soon, and he is bringing Prince Dun with him."
"Got it." Wei Tingyu responded, sat for a while, pushed his wooden wheelchair out of the secret door, avoided everyone's attention, and went to the backyard.
Jin Wenjie groaned and scratched his hair. He didn't understand what Wei Tingyu was thinking. He was a sickly man who couldn't move easily, but he still took risks. He sighed and followed him helplessly. In order to deal with him, his half-brother not only tricked him out, but also used an excuse to transfer the people around him. This bastard knew everything. It would be fine if he didn't avoid him, but he also played along with him. He had to go and protect him.
What Wei Tingyu didn't know was that not long after he left, Xiaocao behind him also left the private room because she needed to go to the toilet and change clothes. She refused the company of her sister and sister-in-law, and took two maids with her. She went up the other side of the stairs and went out the back door, with a maid leading the way in the backyard.
Almost at the same time when Xiaocao went downstairs, Prince Dun and Wei Tingyu's half-brother Wei Jincheng entered the teahouse. Before and after every imperial examination, similar places were where people from all sides would recruit talents. If they didn't show up in person, they would also place people there. So, of course, they were the first to know about the previous affairs between Yuan Qiyu and Wen Renyang.
Prince Dun was not angry. Instead, he went upstairs with a smile and went to the private room of the Wenren Family. Wei Jincheng naturally went to see his brother as per the "agreement", but he didn't know what expression he would have when he saw himself.
The yard was also decorated very elegantly. After changing clothes, Xiaocao couldn't help but turn around.
But this turn was a big deal. Someone was kidnapped right under her nose. She felt inexplicably panicked. Although she didn't see the face, Xiaocao recognized the wooden wheelchair. Prince Wei, Marquis of Pingyang, was the person she wanted to meet to confirm certain things. As a doctor, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. It would have been fine if she had no ability to save him, but the situation was still to be determined.
Out of habit, Xiaocao always carries a lot of self-defense items when she goes out. She never takes off her silver needle bracelet, and she also has anesthetics and homemade sprays in her purse. When she followed her adoptive father, she went in and out of the mountains and forests and numbed many ferocious beasts. Over the years, she has improved it more than once. It only takes seconds to knock over an elephant, let alone a human. The amount she has on her is enough to deal with dozens of people. If the amount is small, it can be taken through breathing, and if the amount is large, it can be taken through the skin. Both are effective quickly.
"Young lady..." The maid was a little confused.
The sound was a bit loud, and Xiaocao subconsciously turned around and pressed the spray bottle in her hand. The maid's hands and feet immediately became weak after spraying, and within three breaths, the two maids fell down. Xiaocao was silent, looked around, and didn't find anyone. She quickly pulled them into the flowers to hide them, took a breath, and trotted out from the back door.
