Chapter 114 Seven-day appointment
Yue Wenhui showed a guilty expression on his face.
Yue Xu's face turned red. He and Wen Yan really had no relationship. But for his own purpose, he still had a thick skin and bowed to Wen Yan: "Shopkeeper Wen, don't blame him. I have been running around for Yue Hanhe's affairs recently, but I have been turned down every time. I am really scared."
After not seeing him for just a few months, Uncle Yue has aged so much.
Wen Yan sighed, "I've heard some things too. Is that person called Hua Wenyi?"
Now everyone in Xiahe Town is discussing this matter, so it’s not surprising that Wen Yan knows about it.
However, Hua Wenyi's name was not something that could be easily spread. The Yue family had always avoided this name, so how could they possibly tell it to others?
Yue Xu looked at Wen Yan, and vaguely felt that her attitude was very different from the attitude of ordinary people when they heard this name.
"Madam Wen, how do you know this person's name?"
Wen Yan didn't answer, but only said: "Since it's an important matter, Brother Yue, just tell me directly. Although Wen Yan may not be able to help you solve it, I will definitely try my best to help."
"Okay, okay." Yue Xu grabbed Yue Hanhe's hand and said to Wen Yan, "You've seen Hanhe before, do you remember?"
Wen Yan nodded slightly, "Remember."
The girl in front of me was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and was in the process of blooming. Unlike the "Hanhe" in her name, she looked like a peach blossom about to bloom, very lovable.
Yue Hanhe saw Wen Yan looking at her, so she stood up and gave her a ladylike greeting: "Aunt Wen."
Yue Xu told Wen Yan again what had happened recently. In general, it was the same as what Wang He had said before, but as someone involved, Yue Xu knew more.
For example, this is not the first time Hua Wenyi has done this. If Yue Hanhe marries him, she will be his twentieth concubine.
Hua Wenyi has been the only son in the family. The Hua couple waited until they were in their twenties to have this child, and he has been doting on him since he was young.
No matter what he wanted, he was pampered and protected, which led to his developing a bad temper of not doing anything to achieve his goals.
I heard that he married nineteen wives, but now only three are alive.
Yue Hanhe couldn't help but have red eyes when she heard her father's tearful words. She looked at him lovingly, "Dad, my daughter is dead, and since I can't escape this fate, I'll just have to accept it. But you have to take good care of yourself, the family still needs you... Otherwise, I won't be at peace even if I'm alive..."
Wen Yan looked at Yue Hanhe's innocent and kind face. If she went there, she would probably not survive the next day.
Yue Xu sighed more times at the table than he had in his entire life. He looked at Wen Yan and continued, "I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life, but... Han He is only fifteen years old..."
It is so sad to hear it and makes people cry when they see it.
Wen Yan was thinking quickly in her mind, and the chopsticks in her hand never stopped moving.
Hua Wenyi does not hold any official position, so it is not worth worrying about. The main concern is his father who is an official in the Governor's Office.
In addition, although Hua Wenyi told a little lie, he did say it well.
His family members were related to important officials in the court and concubines in the harem, and their family members were more or less related to officials. Anyone who saw this would have to think carefully about whether they could touch him.
Wait until Wen Yan put down her chopsticks and started drinking tea.
Yue Xu asked, "Madam Wen, I heard that you know someone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Can you help to tell them?"
"Hua Wencai said that his sister was the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but that's not true." Wen Yan said slowly, "Before Hua Wencai was born, the Hua family adopted a daughter, Hua Jing, but she married the Duke of Zhenguo's illegitimate son, not the legitimate son."
"Although I know the prince, even if I ask him to help, do you think he would be able to let Hua Wenyi go?"
Wen Yan didn't make it clear.
Now that the emperor is old, the forces in the court are complicated and intertwined, and the struggle between the prince and the king of Chu has now reached a white-hot stage.
Behind the Hua family is the Wang family and their Chu Wang Party.
If Ye Qinghuai took action at this time, he would be pushing himself to the side of the prince.
Yue Xu asked himself, what was there that was worthy of this prince's effort?
All the belongings of the Yue family?
But Yue Xu himself began to refute his own ideas. In the eyes of these dignitaries, his Yue family was worthless.
Seeing Yue Xu's pale face, Wen Yan said slowly: "Actually, it's not that there is no solution, it just depends on whether Brother Yue dares to do it. If he succeeds, then you won't have to be bothered by this person anymore."
Yue Xu looked at Wen Yan and subconsciously asked, "What if it doesn't work?"
"If it fails, it will just be a loss of an opportunity for you."
Yue Xu was feeling uneasy, as this kind of low-risk, high-return thing didn't seem like a good thing.
He turned his head to look at his daughter, and finally stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Yan: "In that case, I'll trouble Shopkeeper Wen."
"But we still need to wait a few days for this matter." Wen Yan helped Yue Xu up, "I wonder what the deadline that person gave is?"
"After seven days, if we still don't agree, he will come and snatch us away."
"It's about time. Brother Yue is waiting for good news at home."
Wen Yan saw that it was almost time to pick up Wan Xuan. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered, "After this is done, remember to prepare some gold and silver as a reward."
In the afternoon, I picked up Wanxuan and took her home. I had to go to school in the afternoon.
When the two returned home, Xiangyun was gone and there were only two adults at home.
Under the grape vines, Wen Yangu was smoking a pipe, staring at the person opposite him without taking his eyes off him.
Opposite her was Yang Xiaojiao, who was sleeping in the sun.
There were bedding and clothes hanging on the clothesline at home, but the way they were hung didn't seem like something Wen Yangu would do.
Hearing the noise, Wen Yangu looked over, his expression a little unnatural: "You're back."
"Yeah." Wen Yan walked over and asked in a low voice, "What is this?"
"After breakfast in the morning, she started to sort these things out. She said that it rains a lot in Chunxing Village this season, and we have to hurry up and dry the clothes while the sun is shining, because it might rain again tomorrow."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "It seems that even after so many years of absence, mother still cares about this place. Otherwise, how could she remember it so clearly?"
Wen Yangu snorted, "Care about this place?"
He wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly remembered the scars on her wrists and ankles. Wen Yangu said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "When you were washing her, why didn't you tell me that she had injuries from abuse?"
Wen Yan blinked and said mischievously, "Are you feeling distressed so soon?"
After Wen Yangu turned away in annoyance, Wen Yan explained: "I saw her, but I didn't know her identity at first. Besides, when I heard you say this was my mother, I was so shocked that I didn't think of saying it."
Wen Yan took out a few packets of medicine and a box of ointment from the basket: "I have checked the wounds, most of them have scabbed over, but Wan Xuan checked a few of them and found some inflammation. The medicines are all for the symptoms."
Wen Yangu nodded slowly, and suddenly asked, "Xiangyun left after dinner this morning. Do you know where she went?"
"Yes, she's out doing something and won't be back for about seven days."
Wen Yan curled her lips, thinking of what she discussed with Xiang Yun yesterday.
It's time to start preparing for a counterattack.
