Three days later, news came from the Penal Department Prison, asking the Wen family to pick him up.
Wen Shuquan and Wen Jihua rushed over immediately.
Mrs. Liu took everyone in the Wen family to greet her personally at the door.
The carriage stopped, and Uncle Wen got off first, waiting for the people inside to come out.
Wen Jihua in the car carefully supported Wen Guanbin, and the two of them worked together to help him down.
Liu and his party quickly caught up.
Mrs. Wan and Ms. Yang were supporting Ms. Liu on her left and right respectively.
"Master!" Ms. Liu held Wen Guanbin's hand and tears kept falling.
Uncle Wen was at the back giving some money to the escorting officials.
Wen Jihua supported Wen Guanbin, who was in a mess, and said hurriedly: "Mom, let father go in first."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Liu quickly got out of the way.
Wen Dahai had already brought someone over to help Wen Guanbin.
The group of people turned to leave, but Mrs. Wan held Mrs. Liu still and said, "Mother! Where is Bogui! Where is Bogui! How come only the master is back!"
Mrs. Liu turned around dizzy, glanced at Wen Jihua, and asked him hurriedly: "By the way! Where's the boss! Where's your eldest brother! Why didn't you come back with me?!"
Wen Jihua wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
At this moment, Wen Shuquan happened to see off the escorting officials.
He walked up to everyone and said calmly: "My father is not guilty, but my eldest brother was involved in King Jing's affairs and was detained. He is awaiting sentencing."
"What?!" Wanshi was confused and fainted again.
"Mother!" Wen Qingfang stood next to Wan Shi, shouted in surprise, and then hurriedly said: "Qiu Ling Chun Ling! Hurry and hold Madam!"
There was a moment of panic at the door of Wen's house, but everyone finally went in.
Except for the people in the big room, everyone was waiting in Fushou Hall.
After Doctor Song saw it, he walked out.
"Old madam, third and fourth masters, you don't have to worry. I just didn't eat well and slept well. I'm a little stressed. He just needs to rest for a few days and he'll be fine. He doesn't even need to take medicine."
"Thank you, doctor. Sorry to trouble you." Ms. Liu was very excited and quickly asked Song Yan to give Dr. Song some medicine.
Entering the main room, Mrs. Liu began to feel uneasy again.
She asked Wen Shuquan and Wen Jihua: "The boss has been following the master, how could he be involved in Prince Jing's matter? Did they make a mistake? Bo Gui has always been well-behaved and sensible."
Wen Shuquan and Wen Jihua looked at each other, and finally Wen Shuquan spoke: "Mother, the eldest brother has indeed committed a crime. There are all witnesses and material evidence. The eldest brother has personally signed the bond. Now he is in jail and awaits sentencing."
"How could it be? Isn't there some way? Didn't the master come out?" Mrs. Liu was very anxious. No matter what the eldest son was, Wen Bogui was always the eldest son of the Wen family and the son she valued most!
Wen Shuquan explained patiently: "Mother! It was the crown prince who came forward for my father to come out. Except for Lord Shangshu, my father was the first to come out. The evidence is conclusive and there is nothing we can do about it. Unless His Majesty speaks in person, no one who is guilty can be separated." Prison!"
"How could this happen!" Mrs. Liu leaned on crutches and kicked the ground hard, becoming angry and anxious.
Uncle Wen lowered his head and waited quietly for Mr. Liu's question.
About an hour later, Wen Guanbin slowly woke up.
He called Mrs. Liu, and Wen Shuquan and Wen Jihua went in.
After a while, a maid came out to report.
"Masters and ladies, please go back first."
Wen Qingzhu stood up and left with Wen Mingxuan in his arms.
Wen Qingxin quickly followed up, took her hand and whispered: "Sister Qi, can you lend me a step to talk?"
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the second room. They never looked away.
She stopped and asked Wen Mingxuan to follow Wen Mingliang back first.
Yang was still in charge of the family and left first.
After withdrawing from the maid, Wen Qingxin asked her in a low voice: "Seventh sister, this happened so suddenly, will the fifth prince come to our house?"
"Didn't my sister tell me this? Why isn't even my sister sure now?" Wen Qingzhu asked with a smile.
Wen Qingxin tried her best to put on a smile: "This is not something that happened suddenly to the Wen family. I'm worried that the fifth prince may not be willing to come to avoid suspicion."
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "I don't know either. Come if you come. If you don't come, don't come."
She didn't mind at all whether Jiang Yuancheng would come or not.
If he doesn't come, there will be one less opportunity.
His arrival is just one more opportunity to split the Wen family.
At night, Wenjiahua Garden.
Wan woke up suddenly and shouted: "Bogui, Bogui!"
Qiu Ling was waiting in front of the bed and quickly helped Wanshi up.
Wen Qingfang who was outside heard the sound and ran in quickly.
"Mom, you're awake. It's okay. It's okay." Wen Qingfang sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Wan's back.
It was clearly the depth of winter, but Wanshi was covered in cold sweat behind her back.
"Qiuling, go get a basin of hot water. I want to give mother a scrub."
"Yes." Qiu Ling took the order and retreated.
The room fell silent, and Wan's eyes slowly turned resentful: "Wen Qingzhu must have done it on purpose! She just wants something to happen to our eldest brother! Her father is the one who can take the throne!"
"Mom! Don't be anxious. Everything happens slowly. I just asked my brother to go to my grandfather's house. They said that they are currently checking for people who are not involved. It may take seven or eight days or half a month to start. Verdict. With so much time, we can take our time."
Wen Qingfang's voice was very calm, which made Wanshi slowly calm down.
But she changed the subject: "Seventh sister seems to have a really good relationship with the Crown Princess. Our plan needs to be changed."
Wanshi was suddenly startled: "Do you want to give up? There are so many-"
"Shh-" Wen Qingfang suddenly raised her finger in front of her lips.
The door to the outer room was opened, and Qiu Ling opened the curtain and walked in with water in hand.
"Madam, Miss, do you need help from your servant?" Qiu Ling asked earnestly after putting down the water and towel.
"No need, go down and wait at the door until they are let in." Wen Qingfang waved her hand and wet the towel herself.
Qiu Ling retreated, and after closing the door, the sound of water could be heard in the room.
Wen Qingfang explained patiently: "In a few days, won't the fifth prince be coming over? We can take advantage of this opportunity... "
After waiting for two days, no one from the main room came to make trouble.
Wen Qingzhu was still a little surprised, how could Wan be so quiet.
Not long after, Jasmine came back with news.
"Miss, Mrs. Wanlao is here."
Wen Qingzhu quietly cut the flower branches: "Then she didn't go to visit her grandmother?"
"Not yet. I have been staying in Huayuan for almost an hour. I said I feel sorry for my daughter and I want to take a good look at her."
Wen Qingzhu sneered, why do you feel sorry for your daughter!
But they are all trying to figure out how to make Wen Bogui the best.
Wen Qingzhu got impatient with pruning, threw away the flower branches, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Who is it that talks nonsense around grandma and wants to learn how to arrange flowers and order tea?"
Jasmine hesitated and said, "It should be the Fourth Madam."
"No!" Wen Qingzhu immediately shook his head, "This kind of skill is indeed popular among nobles from aristocratic families, but the fourth aunt has no intention-"
Wen Qingzhu stopped mid-sentence.
Because she discovered a problem. Now Wen Bogui is in prison, and Wen Wen Shuquan and Wen Jihua are in charge of the family.
Yang may have other thoughts.
If Wen Jihua becomes the heir to the Wen family, then Wen Qing's status will rise accordingly.
It is understandable that Yang wants to find a better marriage for her.
After all, Wen Qingxin is only just over a year younger than her.
"Miss, another batch of flowers has been sent from Fushou Hall." Lu Tao came over and carefully reported to Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu has calmed down. She knows all these things and does them very well.
Just to prevent others from seeing it, she couldn't show it so quickly.
"It's okay. From now on, you can just accept the things Fushoutang and Fuyuan send you." Wen Qingzhu stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the ice and snow.
The New Year is almost here again.
The matter with King Jing did not come to a conclusion, but Zheng Xu secretly asked her to meet.
In the Ruyi Teahouse opposite Wanrentang.
Wen Qingzhu patiently ordered tea. Zheng Xu sat in front of her and watched quietly.
"You are very good at ordering tea." Zheng Xu praised her.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and did not reply.
Ordering tea is Wanbi's specialty, and Wen Qingzhu can do it so that Wanbi can't find fault.
In the entire capital, I'm afraid no one has better craftsmanship than her.
After a cup of tea was poured out, Wen Qingzhu handed it to Zheng Xu: "Would you like to try it?"
Zheng Xu took a sip and was surprised: "This tea of yours—"
"You should be lucky that you drank the best tea in the whole capital." Wen Qingzhu put down the things in his hands and looked at the tea set in front of him, feeling a little solemn in his heart.
Although her tea-ordering skills are good, there are too many traces of being a concubine.
Zheng Xu might not be able to see anything, but the Crown Princess or the people in the palace would definitely be able to tell it at a glance.
Zheng Xu finished his tea and went straight to the topic: "Miss Wen, I have news to tell you in advance. Regarding Prince Jing's matter, the fifth prince has made meritorious service. The emperor was very happy and gave him a real job. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to the Yun family. It’s also about handling with care.”
"Didn't Mr. Lei impeach him?" Wen Qingzhu knew that the Lei family must know Jiang Yuancheng's character.
Zheng Xu shook his head: "No, I don't know the reason yet, but His Royal Highness is starting to doubt him."
Wen Qingzhu picked up the tea cup, looked at the clear and translucent light green juice in the cup, and said lightly: "Didn't you suspect him a long time ago? Why didn't you tell the prince in advance?"
Zheng Xu was silent for a moment: "I have no evidence. The Crown Princess mentioned this matter to the Crown Prince in a vague way before, but the Crown Prince believes that he saved the fifth prince, so the fifth prince will never rebel."
"Hey..." Wen Qingzhu sighed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still too young. Everyone knows the story of the farmer and the snake, not to mention that Jiang Yuancheng is not a snake, but a jackal!"
"Have you known this for a long time?" Zheng Xu stared intently at Wen Qingzhu's shining eyes.
Wen Qingzhu drank all the tea in his hand and then put it down heavily.
"Mr. Zheng! For the sake of the fact that we have cooperated many times, let me give you a warning! Jiang Yuancheng is very ambitious, and his methods and mentality may be far superior to the prince's. If you want to kill him completely, you'd better do it as soon as possible!"
Wen Qingzhu's eyes flashed with cold light: "Once his wings are full! Not to mention the prince, Prince Ning will die!"
Zheng Xu said nothing because he could see that Wen Qingzhu was jealous and hated Jiang Yuancheng in his heart.
"Oh, that's right!" Wen Qingzhu regained his gentle and kind expression, "I can do you a small favor. The Chinese New Year is only half a month away, and the royal sacrifices are about to begin again. Empress Zheng is very good at interrupting. This book You give it to the Crown Princess and let her prepare it for the Queen."
Zheng Xu took it and took a look and found that it was a book about flower arrangement.
The book is new and looks like it was newly printed.
"What's the use of this?" Zheng Xu didn't know Wen Qingzhu's intention.
Wen Qingzhu smiled gently: "Since the death of your sister, hasn't the emperor become more and more indifferent to the Zheng family? The Zheng family must be very uncomfortable in the court! This is your chance to turn around!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xu's hand holding the book tightened.
Why does Wen Qingzhu know so many things!
On the surface, the Zheng family is still highly regarded and has unlimited glory.
But only a few people know the actual situation.
For example, the Zheng family and the emperor.
Wen Qingzhu was very satisfied with his vigilance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this matter is good for you and me, so we don't owe each other anything."
