Jiang Dejia pursed her lips slightly and explained as calmly as possible: "My father knew that after the fall of the Fushun Marquis Mansion, outsiders would look at the Xin family army with eager eyes and claimed that the Tiger Talisman was missing, but in fact it has been kept by the mother and concubine."
"But now that the Xin family army has been organized separately, this tiger talisman exists in name only." Wen Qingzhu felt that when Jiang Dejia came over, it was not as simple as just giving him a tiger talisman.
As expected, Jiang Dejia nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Miss Wen, although you didn't tell me, I know that Xin Chong is still alive. I think at this time, you should gather him and send him to help General Fu. Bar?"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, holding the tiger talisman in his hand, and suddenly chuckled: "It turns out that I underestimated Her Highness, so what does Her Highness want me to do?"
…
After leaving the incense shop, Wen Qingzhu looked back at the dark sign of the incense shop, feeling cold in his heart.
It turned out that she thought she was very careful in her deployment, but no matter how careful she was, she still couldn't guard against the thief.
Wen Qingzhu returned to the Wen family, and Jiang Yuancheng had left.
As soon as she walked to the front yard, she met Wen Shuquan.
When Wen Shuquan thought of Wen Qingzhu leaving the house without permission, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said displeasedly: "Zhu'er, where have you been?"
Seeing him acting coyly, Wen Qingzhu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Father, with his great powers, do you still need to ask where your daughter is? Isn't there someone who will always report to you?"
Hearing this, Wen Shuquan's expression changed.
Wen Qingzhu ignored Wen Shuquan and turned towards the backyard.
As soon as we arrived in the courtyard, we happened to hear Wen Qinglan scolding Xiaocui in the moon gate to the east.
Wen Qingzhu took a cold look inside and then walked quickly to the backyard.
After returning to the house, I happened to see Cao Yuzheng and Ye's mother arguing about something.
"Miss!" Shaoyao was happy when he saw her coming back.
Cao Yu's back stiffened, and he turned his head with difficulty. It took him a long time to utter two words: "Second Miss."
"Get lost." Wen Qingzhu stood outside the door, looking at Cao Yu with calm eyes.
He was here just to obey Wen Shuquan's order and prevent her from leaving.
Cao Yu's face turned ugly instantly.
But Wen Qingzhu had no patience and smiled sinisterly: "Manager Cao should know my methods."
His wide-open eyes were instantly filled with a looming murderous aura.
Cao Yu's head went cold, he hesitated, then turned around and retreated.
After entering the house, neither Mama Ye nor Shaoyao dared to ask any more questions.
Although Wen Qingzhu sat down expressionlessly, the coldness radiating from her body clearly told outsiders that she was in a bad mood.
"Sister, what happened?" Wen Mingxuan's voice murmured from behind.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little softer, turned around and waved Mingxuan over: "Sister, I have something to ask you."
"Yes." Wen Mingxuan walked to her side obediently, looking at her with a pair of bright black eyes worriedly.
"Sister, I'm asking you, can we move out and live by ourselves?" Wen Qingzhu's voice was gentle and without any inducement.
Wen Mingxuan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, anyway, I don't like my father and Aunt Wu very much. Aunt Yue and Sister Mei are okay, but they are too polite to me."
"Well, that's good." Wen Qingzhu said nothing, and Wen Mingxuan didn't ask anything.
The two of them decided the way to go in the future.
Wen Qingzhu asked Mama Ye to go out and invite Aunt Yue and the two over.
After explaining some things, he finally said: "Auntie and sister, please be careful. Sometimes, the person who kills you may not be someone else, but the person next to you or the father you admire."
When these words came out, Aunt Yue and Wen Qingmei were shocked.
The meaning of Wen Qingzhu's words is self-evident, it is to make them wary of Wen Shuquan.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered his servants to pack their things and leave.
In fact, there is nothing.
When they arrived at the door, Aunt Yue and her daughter, as well as Aunt Wu and her daughter, came out to see her and Wen Mingxuan off.
However, Wen Qingzhu had already said what he needed to say. He only looked at Aunt Wu and Wen Qinglan with a chuckle, and got into the car without hesitation.
Uncle Wen stood inside the door with an expressionless face, but he was shocked inside.
How did she find out
Haven't you already pretended to be enough
At night, Uncle Wen and his family gathered together to have dinner together again.
Last time Wen Qingzhu and Wen Mingxuan were there, Wen Mingqian felt very awkward.
But tonight's meal only made him feel horrible.
Everyone's expressions were gloomy. Wen Mingqian didn't understand why Wen Qingzhu and his brother left as soon as their mother died.
After a long while, Wen Shuquan made a decision: "After one year, if I don't renew my relationship, then I will fix one of you two."
As soon as these words came out, they were like thunder, causing everyone to be shocked and confused.
This sentence was very important. Wen Mingqian even muttered: "Why don't we just straighten my aunt upright? Why does it take a year..."
In this way, he is the legitimate son.
Uncle Wen looked over coldly, and Aunt Wu pulled Wen Mingqian's sleeve.
Only then did Wen Mingqian realize that something was wrong, and apologized in panic: "I'm sorry, father, your matter is not something a child should talk about."
The nave became quiet again.
After dinner, Uncle Wen asked Aunt Wu and the others to go down first, leaving Aunt Yue and the two in the room.
After there were no outsiders, Uncle Wen glanced at Aunt Yue's belly and said, "It's time for you to have a son."
If it had been before, Aunt Yue would have been ecstatic.
But Wen Qingzhu's abnormal behavior today made her afraid.
"Thank you, thank you, sir." Aunt Yue is not old and she can definitely have a few more.
But these words were spoken after Wen Qingzhu told her those words. The first thing that Aunt Yue thought of was that Wen Shuquan wanted to use herself to contain Wen Qingzhu.
"Come to the main room to rest tonight." Wen Shuquan left these words, got up and left.
"Best farewell, sir." Aunt Yue sent Wen Shuquan away.
After he left, she sat down in a cold sweat. Wen Qingmei didn't quite understand: "Although my sister reminded us, wouldn't it be better for us to have a younger brother? And my father said that after one year, it would give us a chance. , if I marry into the Wan family as my legitimate daughter, that would be—"
"Mei'er!" Aunt Yue has been with Wen Shuquan for more than ten years. She knows better than Wen Qingzhu what kind of person he is.
These four words, ruthless and ungrateful, couldn't be more appropriate.
Didn't the former Lu family also give birth to children for Wen Shuquan? What was the result
He was the one who personally sent the father-in-law to the guillotine. If Wen Qingzhu had not played a role later, the Wen Qingzhu siblings would have been beaten to death by Aunt Wu, and Wen Shuquan would not have been able to make any waves in his heart.
"What's wrong?" It was the first time that Wen Qingmei felt that her aunt was so scared, and her hands even trembled.
Aunt Yue was about to speak when she suddenly noticed a shadow flashing past the door.
Aunt Yue took Wen Qingmei back to her residence.
Close the door and send maids to guard the doors and windows.
Not worried about this, he took Wen Qingmei to the innermost small warehouse to talk.
"Meier, Miss Qi is no longer here, we can only rely on ourselves from now on. You have to remember that here, only Auntie and yourself are the most reliable. You already have an engagement. Try not to go out if you can in the future. In fact, it's opposite If you want to harm you, don't be polite, my aunt knows that you have secretly learned a lot from Miss Qi, and my aunt believes that you can protect yourself!"
"I... I..." Wen Qingmei hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.
Aunt Yue suddenly pointed to the ground: "Kneel down! You swear! Never take chances in the future! If someone offends me, I will offend him! When danger comes, we must nip it in the cradle! Even your father will Same! He wants to kill you! Kill him in advance!"
Aunt Yue's expression was so terrifying that Wen Qingmei could only nod.
In the following days, Wen Qingmei truly understood her situation.
When they arrived at the Xue family, Wen Qingzhu arranged Wen Mingxuan to live in Liushang Pavilion.
The environment there is elegant, with bamboo groves on the left, evergreen trees on the right, and flower beds tended by gardeners in the front. Facing the window at the back, a stream passes by, making it a good place to read.
Wen Qingzhu himself lived in Luoying Pavilion, with the peach blossom forest on the left and the maple leaf forest on the right.
There is an empty piece of land behind. I heard that a bean sprout was originally planted, but now it is planted with medicinal herbs.
There used to be a melon patch in the front, but now it has been turned into a flower garden.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the environment here and said as he walked: "The original owner was also a refined and elegant person. He reaped the benefits of melons and beans. There were peach blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn. He seemed to be a person with strong feelings and sincerity." .”
"Yes, I asked Uncle Zhong. He said that the owner of this house was originally a scholar. He worked as an official in the capital for a while. His wife passed away and he left here. In the past two years, he heard that he would not come back, so he asked someone to If you put it up for sale, the price will be no less than 30,000 taels of silver."
Lu Tao explained to Wen Qingzhu while supporting her.
I sat down on the veranda in front of the house and looked at the scenery of early spring, especially the peach grove, which gave me a completely new look.
I'm afraid that in another month, her Luoying Pavilion will be filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
"At first I thought others were talking too much, but after seeing it, Uncle Zhong took it for me without saying anything. Today it seems that it is indeed a good deal."
Every plant and tree here is carefully designed.
At first glance, it looks like nothing, but upon closer inspection, there is a lot of mystery inside.
Wen Qingzhu had learned Feng Shui from his teacher for a while, and the layout of the house was in line with the trend of Feng Shui.
Although it is close to the palace, the price is not low.
But this house only has five courtyards, one main hall, and a landscape of lotus pond and Jiuqu Bridge.
Taken as a whole, it is only the size of two Yanyuan gardens.
Under normal circumstances, twenty thousand taels of silver is already very high.
But the decoration inside was far less than ten thousand taels of silver.
Wen Qingzhu thought that he had taken advantage.
After a few days of calm, a thunderclap woke Wen Qingzhu up in the middle of the night.
She sat up sweating profusely, grabbing the brocade quilt and breathing heavily.
After a while, Lu Tao woke up outside, lit a candle, opened the curtain, walked around the screen, and lit Wen Qingzhu's bedside lamp.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's cold sweat, he quickly wiped it with a handkerchief for her, with a distressed look on his face: "Did the lady have another nightmare?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded, took Lu Tao's handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and said at the same time: "Bring me a glass of water."
Lu Tao responded, and as soon as he poured the water, he turned around and saw Wen Qingzhu walking out wearing a cloak.
"Miss! You need to have a good rest. You haven't slept well these days! If this continues, the people in the capital will all be well, but you will be sick."
