In Jinsong Pavilion, Wen Guanbin presided over the overall situation.
But the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue, smiled slightly and said, "Father, I suggest you give the housekeeper's rights to Aunt Yue."
"Third Master!" Aunt Wu looked at him with tears in her eyes, "I don't know what I did wrong to make the seventh lady hate my concubine."
Wen Qingzhu sighed and stopped talking. Looking at Aunt Wu, she knew that Xiyuan didn't know what happened last night.
On the contrary, it was Aunt Yue who spoke up and said, "I don't care if I am a maid or a concubine, as long as I can share the burden with Third Master."
As soon as these words came out, he and Aunt Wu were at loggerheads.
She lowered her head and glanced at Aunt Yue secretly.
Of course Aunt Yue saw it, but she didn't care.
She had received the news last night.
No one's attitude is important now, only the attitudes of Wen Shuquan and Wen Qingzhu are the most important.
Not long after, Wen Qinglan hurried over.
She bowed every time she entered the door, acting extremely well-behaved.
After sitting down, Wen Guanbin was silent for a while, and finally decided: "Then let Aunt Yue take care of the house."
Aunt Wu is unwilling to give in, why!
But Wen Qinglan quickly grabbed her and told her not to speak.
After the matter was settled, Wen Guanbin looked at Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue and said, "You two, take inventory of the things at home. Prepare everything that is valuable and cannot be thrown away."
After hearing this, Aunt Wu was shocked. What did this mean
But Wen Guanbin was tired and raised his hand to let them go down.
After everyone walked out of Jinsong Pavilion, Jasmine happened to come over.
"Miss, the young master's things have been moved back to the east courtyard, and the front wing has been cleaned."
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "As for Alai and Aqi, let them temporarily work with Manager Cao and Manager Tian. I will make arrangements to take care of Mingxuan."
"Yeah." Jasmine responded and stepped back.
Aunt Wu and her daughter next to them stopped even more.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, turned and left.
After everyone left, Aunt Wu asked Wen Qinglan in surprise: "Why did Wen Mingxuan move to the east courtyard? Shouldn't the young master of the Wen family live in Zimingtang?"
Wen Qinglan stared at Wen Qingzhu's back and said quietly: "Auntie, things are going to change for the Wen family. We'd better let my brother move back to the west courtyard."
"Moving back to the West Courtyard? But the location in the West Courtyard is not big!"
…
In the wing of the east courtyard.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu arrived at the door, he saw Wen Mingxuan moving books.
"Mingxuan, why did you do it yourself?"
Shaoyao next to him stopped and grabbed the thing in Wen Mingxuan's hand: "Miss, this servant also said that if the young master is not allowed to do it, he insists on doing it himself."
When Wen Mingxuan saw sister coming, he walked over, touched the back of his head and said, "Sister, I think sisters Shaoyao are working very hard. If the maid helps, I won't do it."
Wen Qingzhu touched his head: "It's not that I didn't let those servants take action, but I sent all those servants, wives and maids out. The east courtyard will be quiet from now on, so you can rest assured and study."
"Would it be too much trouble?" Wen Mingxuan felt a little embarrassed.
Wen Qingzhu led him to the front hall and sat down. After letting the little maid serve tea, he asked the servants to retreat.
She looked at Wen Mingxuan and said earnestly: "It's not that sister is troublesome, but it is very necessary. There are some things that you will understand when you are twelve years old."
Although Wen Mingxuan didn't understand, he was very aware of Wen Qingzhu's good intentions.
Since Sister A said she would make him understand at the age of twelve, then he should wait until he is twelve.
Anyway, I turned seven this year and turned eight.
In another three to five years, I will be twelve years old.
Wen Qingzhu was very pleased to see him so well-behaved.
In her previous life, she always complained that Mingxuan was not smart enough to help her.
In fact, it was really because she was not smart enough and her demands on Mingxuan were too high.
Looking at the moving figure outside the door, Wen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed.
These ignorant little maids thought they could hide it from her eyes.
From just now, those restless maids kept looking at Mingxuan.
It seems that Jasmine has to come over and take charge of the side room.
Two days later, late at night.
Xiaoman climbed over the wall and entered Yanyuan, but was discovered by someone arranged by Tian Chong.
The man pressed Xiaoman against the wall, took a look at the lantern, and said in surprise: "Miss Xiaoman?"
Wen Qingzhu had said hello before, and Xiaoman in the second room was not an outsider.
Xiaoman nodded: "I came here to ask Miss Seven for help. Now the old lady wants to sell all the ladies directly!"
"What!" The man quickly let go and let her in.
After arriving in the east courtyard, Lu Tao quickly led Xiaoman to the backyard.
Wen Qingzhu was cleaning up the account books and was shocked after hearing what Xiaoman said.
Putting down the account book in her hand, she was silent for a moment and asked, "Did Aunt Ding and Grandpa react at all?"
Xiaoman explained with red eyes: "Aunt Ding didn't say a word, but grandpa disagreed. After all, they are all his granddaughters."
"What about the second uncle?" Wen Qingzhu asked again.
Xiao Man suddenly became excited: "The second master actually dared to speak out to protect the wife and ladies this time. He even said that he would not let the old lady sell the ladies after he left the house!"
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't believe that Wen Zhongcong had the guts from the bottom of his heart.
But Xiao Man said with certainty: "It's true! If it weren't for the second master, the old lady's people would definitely take action!"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and felt something was wrong.
She knew Aunt Ding's methods, so it was wise not to say anything at this time.
Wen Guanbin was right to stop it, but it had little effect.
After all, he is the one Liu Shi hates.
He and Wen Qinghe were Liu's juniors and had no chance to question or object.
After all, only Wen Zhongcong has the ability to protect the second wife.
"What should grandma do?" Wen Qingzhu felt that this matter was a bit tricky. Mrs. Liu actually wanted to sell all the women in the second wife's house!
This is too exaggerated!
The He family may still be suspected. No matter how much Wen Guanbin ignores ethics, he will not touch Wen Qinglian and Wen Qinghe!
"The old lady was so angry that she sent people to chase them away. The master couldn't stand it anymore, so he was stopped!" Xiaoman was very worried.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange: "What about the second uncle? Isn't he protecting the second uncle and the others?"
Asked here, Xiaoman hesitated.
"Just say it." Wen Qingzhu noticed something was wrong.
After thinking about it, Xiaoman finally said: "The second master saw that the old lady was too cruel, so he knelt down and begged for mercy! But the second master still tried his best to save the lady."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu didn't understand.
Wen Zhongcong still didn't have the courage. If nothing else happened, Aunt Ding should have given the order in advance, forcing Wen Zhongcong to come forward.
However, he was used to being cowardly and did not dare to confront the old lady forcefully.
"What about inviting yourself to Zhuangzi?" Wen Qingzhu felt that Aunt Ding should have mentioned this opinion.
Xiaoman's eyes turned red again: "The old lady said that Zhuangzi belongs to the Wen family and they are not worthy of living there! And she also asked them to hand over all the things given by the Wen family!"
"Did Aunt Ding say anything to you?" Wen Qingzhu felt that Xiaoman definitely didn't come here simply.
Xiaoman nodded quickly, looked behind him warily, and then whispered: "It's not Aunt Ding, it's Madam. She said she wanted to ask the lady to borrow three thousand taels of silver. The Wen family can't stay any longer."
"Aunt Ding didn't say anything?" Wen Qingzhu felt strange.
Xiaoman was silent for a moment, and finally said with some hatred: "Aunt Ding doesn't care about the lady at all. She just wants to save the young master! But fortunately, the young master knows how to protect the lady and refuses to cooperate with Aunt Ding!"
Wen Qingzhu sighed, women in this era have always been the targets of sacrifice.
Now she feels more and more that women must rely on themselves, and what they get in their hands belongs to them.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, opened the door, and asked Lu Tao to go to the warehouse and take out five thousand taels of silver.
After she came back, she handed it directly to Xiaoman: "Let the second uncle use this money first. Remember not to let the second uncle or Aunt Ding find out, otherwise they may not be able to leave the Wen family!"
Xiaoman took the money, knelt down, kowtowed three times solemnly, and then hurriedly left with the money.
After Xiaoman left, Wen Qingzhu's heart sank.
Liu's reaction was even crazier than she imagined.
I don’t know if the family separation will go smoothly.
She really didn't want to do anything to Mrs. Liu if it wasn't necessary.
The day before the reward banquet, a shocking news suddenly came from the palace.
King Jing is in a severe coma and is in danger.
The emperor was furious and killed twenty-eight palace officials.
The prince who was present at the time was even more implicated, and the princess took the risk and knelt at the door of the royal study to plead.
The reward banquet was naturally cancelled.
The Wen family immediately focused their attention on Wen Qingzhu.
That afternoon, Wen Guanbin sent someone to ask Wen Qingzhu to come over.
After much hesitation, Wen Qingzhu prepared the poison and went to Zimingtang.
Wen Mingxuan was worried and insisted on going along.
Arrive at the door of Zimingtang.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly discovered that no one had cleaned the fallen leaves in front of him.
When the boy leading the way saw her stop, he turned around and said, "Miss Qi, please hurry up! The master's temper is very bad."
"I understand." Wen Qingzhu stopped sighing and followed quickly.
But as soon as they arrived at the door of Wen Guanbin's study, they met Wen Shuquan and Tian Chong.
"Father." Wen Qingzhu had already predicted that Wen Shuquan would definitely come.
After saying hello, they went to the study together.
Wen Guanbin was sitting behind the desk, staring coldly at the family of three.
After a while, he sarcastically said: "What, are you afraid that I will eat you? And you brought your father and Mingxuan with you?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing. It was better not to say anything at this time.
"Lao San, you take Mingxuan away. I have something that I need to talk to Xiao Qi alone." Wen Guanbin gave the order.
But Wen Guanbin and Wen Mingxuan both stood motionless.
Wen Guanbin suddenly became furious. He grabbed a few brushes in front of him and threw them at Wen Shuquan.
Uncle Wen ducked aside calmly.
Wen Mingxuan was startled, thinking that Wen Guanbin was going to throw Wen Qingzhu away, so he hurriedly ran to Wen Qingzhu to block him.
When he moved like this, everyone in the room was startled.
Wen Qingzhu was even more surprised and happy to be blocked, but his heart sank again.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Wen Guanbin staring at Wen Mingxuan and sneered: "What? Are you afraid that I will hurt your sister?!"
"My grandson is just worried." Wen Mingxuan was young and didn't understand many things, and Wen Qingzhu didn't tell him.
Regarding Wen Guanbin's impression, Wen Mingxuan always thought that he was a serious grandfather.
"Haha!" Wen Guanbin sneered, and suddenly his expression slowly returned to calm.
He looked deeply at Wen Mingxuan and then at Wen Shuquan.
There was a sadness in his heart, why wasn't his biological son such a brotherly brother
