The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
I saw Aunt Ding and the people from the second room walking directly to Mrs. Liu and paying her respects.
"Old Madam." Ding looked very humble.
He, along with Wen Qinglian and Wen Qinghe, also said hello.
But Madam Liu only looked at Madam Ding, the hatred in her eyes not concealed at all.
Madam Wan and Mrs. Liu were sitting at the same table.
Seeing this situation in front of her, Wan's whole heart was in doubt.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Liu finally stopped making trouble.
She just said a faint 'hmm'.
Ding was very smart and took the second wife down.
The storm calmed down so quietly.
Wen Qingzhu looked away and understood.
The last time was Mrs. Liu's birthday party, and Wen Guanbin accommodated her.
This time was the day when Wen Guanbin was promoted, and Mr. Liu always wanted to give Wen Guanbin a face.
Wen Qingzhu waited with peace of mind for the luncheon to begin.
Many relatives came over from the first and fourth bedrooms, and even the second bedroom had relatives who needed He to entertain them.
The third room was particularly deserted, and my grandfather was not from the capital.
After his death, the aristocratic families with whom he had become friends no longer communicated with each other.
Under normal circumstances, there should be no guests to entertain in the third bedroom.
But at this time, Aunt Wu stood up.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at the place where Aunt Wu stopped.
I saw an elegantly dressed woman holding a five or six-year-old girl.
Aunt Wu enthusiastically held the woman's hand, took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the girl.
"That is?" Wen Qingzhu was very sure that he had never seen that woman.
But the girl in the woman's hands was somewhat similar to Aunt Wu.
After a while, Aunt Wu led them over.
Stopping in front of Wen Qingzhu, Aunt Wu introduced the woman cordially: "This is the third master's seventh lady."
"Miss Seven." the woman asked politely.
Aunt Wu said to Wen Qingzhu again: "Miss Qi, this is my concubine's sister-in-law. Today she is coming with her brother to celebrate the master."
"Mrs. Wu." Wen Qingzhu did not stand up, but responded lightly.
Mrs. Wu's face immediately became a little ugly, and Aunt Wu's face became even stiffer.
At this time, Wen Qinglan became a little smart: "Auntie, you should pay your respects to the old lady first. Miss Seven is a junior after all, isn't she?"
But when Lu Tao next to him heard this, he felt angry and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Miss is indeed a junior, and she must be a junior with a serious master. A relative of an aunt comes here and is not afraid of being shabby, for fear that others will not Do you know that your own mother was someone else’s concubine?”
"You bitch!" Wen Qinglan couldn't help but yelled out.
Her voice was not quiet, and the table next to the old woman was there.
Mrs. Liu raised her eyes and looked at Wen Qinglan very dissatisfied.
Aunt Wu had a headache, so she quickly pulled Wen Qingzhu and scolded her: "You are a young lady of the Wen family! You must be educated and sensible!"
Wen Qinglan felt aggrieved and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She doesn't want to see you being scolded, aunt!
Mrs. Wu next to her held Wen Qinglan's hand and comforted her gently: "Auntie knows that you feel sorry for your mother. Don't be sad. In a few days, Auntie will post a post for you. Then when you come to Wu's house to play, you won't have any trouble." People are waiting.”
"Okay." Wen Qinglan glanced at Wen Qingzhu provocatively.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't even bother to pay attention to them.
Wan, who was at the next table, glanced here quietly.
Shaking her head secretly in her heart, Wen Qinglan really couldn't see the situation clearly.
No matter how nice the Wu family is, her surname, Wen Qinglan, is not Wu.
Aunt Wu took Mrs. Wu and her daughter to pay their respects to the old lady.
Mrs. Liu's expression was indifferent, she didn't say much, and she didn't give Mrs. Wu a gift for her daughter.
At this moment, Mrs. Wu felt a little upset.
Her husband's biological sister became someone else's concubine, and she didn't want to come.
But Wu Shan also said that Aunt Wu had paid a lot for the Wu family.
Now she needs help, and the Wu family should help her.
After saying hello to Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wu didn't want to sit at the same table with Wen Qingzhu at all.
Aunt Wu naturally saw it and took them for a walk in the yard.
Wen Qingzhu looked thoughtfully at the backs of Aunt Wu and her group.
In her memory, Wu Shan's wife was the eldest daughter of a minor official.
Although Mrs. Wu's character is snobbish, her family tradition is relatively upright.
I have always secretly looked down on Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu invited Mrs. Wu to the Wen family many times, but Mrs. Wu kept refusing.
Later, Wu Shan was promoted and made a fortune, and Mrs. Wu even refused to recognize the marriage contract between Wen Qinglan and Wu Shan's eldest son.
If Wen Qinglan hadn't become Jiang Yuancheng's concubine later, Mrs. Wu would have wanted to sever ties with Aunt Wu.
Later, when Jiang Yuancheng gained power, Mrs. Wu had to curry favor with Aunt Wu and Wen Qinglan for Wu Shan.
For the sake of her uncle, Wen Qinglan reluctantly interacted with Mrs. Wu.
But when Mrs. Wu saw that Wen Qinglan had become the crown prince's concubine, her desire for love grew even more.
Before she left the capital, she seemed to have heard that Mrs. Wu's daughter had become Jiang Yuancheng's mistress
"Miss, what are you thinking about? They have gone far!" Lu Tao endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help but remind her.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, picked up the tea cup and took a sip to hide the strange look on his face.
After his expression returned to normal, Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered some uncomfortable things."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside announced: "The Lord of Pingshu County is here!"
Everyone looked over in an instant, and County Master Pingshu walked forward surrounded by her maids.
Mrs. Liu and others hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him.
"Greetings to the Lord Pingshu County." Ms. Liu wanted to kneel down.
The maid Qing Hu in front of Liang Pingshu hurriedly supported Ms. Liu: "Mrs. Wen doesn't need to pay a big courtesy. The county master came here on his own this time and does not represent the Liang family."
Although Mrs. Liu has never seen any big scenes, she still understands the etiquette and rules.
"Thank you, County Master." Mrs. Liu bowed and thanked.
Pingshu County Chief saw so many people here, and his eyes quickly swept around the crowd.
His eyes finally stopped on Wen Qingzhu, pointed at her and said, "Mrs. Wen, I'm here to see Miss Wen Qi. Can you take Miss Wen Qi away for a while?"
"Ah?" Ms. Liu didn't react for a moment.
Wen Qingzhu thought of Mr. Wei Zheng's affairs and hurriedly walked to Mrs. Liu: "Grandma, the county master has something to do and wants to take his granddaughter away."
"Is that okay?" County Master Pingshu was not used to this kind of situation, and her tone was a little stiff.
Ms. Liu thought she was angry and nodded quickly: "Of course, it's Xiao Qi's blessing to be able to go out with the county master. Come on, send Miss Qi off -"
Before she finished speaking, Liang Pingshu interrupted her directly and said: "No need! I have a carriage, and I only need Miss Seventh."
Before Liu could reply, Wen Qingzhu was pulled away by Liang Pingshu and turned around.
Liang Pingshu has practiced martial arts since she was a child and is very fast.
Wen Qingzhu was pulled by her, but he was able to keep up steadily.
In just ten breaths, Liang Pingshu had already taken Wen Qingzhu away.
Lu Tao was startled and wanted to follow.
But he was pulled by Shaoyao beside him: "Don't go! The county master obviously doesn't want others to follow him!"
Lu Tao was anxious: "But the county leader can't just take people away like that!"
"It should be fine. Don't you remember what happened at the Liang family last time? The lady also left for a while." Shaoyao thought more than Lu Tao.
After leaving Wen's house, Wen Qingzhu followed Liang Pingshu into the carriage.
After the two of them sat firmly, the carriage started to move.
Wen Qingzhu steadied his breathing and began to think deeply.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu remained silent, Liang Pingshu stared at her more and more curiously.
After a long while, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Liang Pingshu: "Ask the county master whatever you want to ask."
Liang Pingshu shook her head: "You know what I want to ask, but I also know how you will answer."
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly, the county master was also a smart man.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in a yard.
After getting off the car, the grandmother who took Wen Qingzhu over last time was already waiting.
"Miss Wen, County Lord, please come this way." The nanny looked very anxious, turned around and led them directly into the house.
Arriving in the bedroom, Mrs. Wei was overjoyed.
"Miss Wen, you are finally here. You have found what you want."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and quickly walked to the table in front of Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei opened the box, and a blast of cold air came from inside.
Inside the box, there were ice cubes around it, and a dark purple, almost black grass in the middle.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, turned around and asked Mrs. Wei: "Are the rest of the things ready?"
Mrs. Wei nodded: "Everything is ready."
When they arrived at the inner room next door, Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to go out, leaving only Mrs. Wei in the room.
Placed in front of Wen Qingzhu were hundreds of herbs, the most important of which was the life-seeking grass in the ice box.
Life-seeking grass grows in the deep mountains of the Northeast and is extremely rare.
Just in time to restrain the poisonous poison in the southwestern Miao territory.
Wen Qingzhu is already perfect at blending herbs.
More than half an hour later, a bowl of thick black concoction was prepared.
Wen Qingzhu put it into another ice box, closed the lid, and carried the ice box to Wei Zheng's bedroom.
After putting the ice box away, Wen Qingzhu turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "The next thing is to trouble Mrs. Wei. Apply this bowl of concoction all over Mr. Wei's body. Except for the seven orifices, any exposed skin will be covered." Don’t stay.”
"Yes." Mrs. Wei nodded solemnly. Wen Qingzhu had already told her the precautions just now.
Wen Qingzhu withdrew, and when he walked to the door, he found the head of County Pingshu personally guarding the door.
"Qingzhu, are you okay?" Liang Pingshu looked worried.
Wen Qingzhu walked out, stood side by side with her, looked at the grass and trees in the yard and said: "Not yet, it will take at least half an hour. If the effect is good, the Gu can be lured out today. If the effect is not good, it may take several times. "
Liang Pingshu fell silent when she heard this.
After a long while, she asked: "Is the poison so difficult to cure?"
Wen Qingzhu sighed uncontrollably: "For those who cast the poison, it's easy, but for others, it's a matter of narrow escape. Mr. Wei's situation was discovered early, otherwise I would definitely deal with such a complicated poison." No."
Liang Pingshu looked at her sideways and said seriously: "You are already very powerful."
Wen Qingzhu did not deny it, but had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
If he was really powerful, how could he be deceived by Jiang Yuancheng in his previous life.
If it weren't for the teacher, I might just be a corpse in the wilderness.
Thinking of the teacher, Wen Qingzhu's expression suddenly became solemn.
She turned to Liang Pingshu and asked: "County Lord, have you ever heard of a great scholar? His name is Ji Shang."
"Ji Shang? Or a great scholar?" Liang Pingshu thought carefully.
Half a quarter of an hour later, she shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it. If he is really a great scholar, I should know about it, but that's not necessarily the case. I can ask Fu Yu for you."
"Thank you, County Master." Wen Qingzhu's expression softened.
Liang Pingshu noticed her change, hesitated and asked, "Is this gentleman important to you?"
"Well, it's like being a parent again." Wen Qingzhu didn't hesitate for a moment.
Liang Pingshu looked at the light in her eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Although she didn't have much contact with Wen Qingzhu, her mother grew up in the palace.
He has a very special temperament about him.
Liang Pingshu thinks this temperament can be described as a mask.
She suddenly felt that Wen Qingzhu was also like a mother.
