Chapter 625: Who Is the Reinforcement Shao Yanru Invited?
"It's Mr. Wen San!" Qu Le hesitated for a moment and said dissatisfied, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Wen San. He actually got together with the eldest lady. I used to think he was quite smart, but why now? I think he is a little stupid to let the eldest lady deceive him!"
"It's Mr. Wen!" Shao Wanru corrected her with a smile. Although it was a little surprising, it was not very surprising. Qiu Yu was something Shao Yanru could not take for granted, and Wen Xichi and Shao Yanru should have a good relationship. !
The two houses were originally neighbors, and the children of the two houses had known each other since childhood and played together. Later, when everyone got older, it was inconvenient for them to interact more for leisure.
In the last life, Shao Wanru was married to Wen Xichi. Once, after Wen Xichi drank medicine and fell asleep, she walked around the house casually, not daring to go any further. She just walked around. She had seen There is a small blocked door at the wall, which should have allowed people to leave.
On the other side of the wall is the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, which shows that the relationship between the two mansions was very good at the earliest, and a small side door was even opened between the two mansions to facilitate the children of the two mansions to be together. Playing together, Shao Yanru and Wen Xichi are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
In her last life, she just lived carefully and didn't meddle in other people's business at all. Even if she saw it, she wouldn't ask any more questions. She just had some guesses in her heart, and she was panicked and scared for a while.
Because of Qin Yuru, she had no good impression of Duke Xingguo in her previous life, but she felt that Duke Xingguo was rich and powerful. Maybe the side door would be opened at some point, and Qin Yuru would come through that side door. I don’t know how to trouble myself anymore!
Every time she thought about this, she was so scared that she couldn't even eat. Later, Wen Xichi sensitively discovered that her mood was wrong. After asking her for a long time, he learned that she was laughing because of the blocked door, and then comforted her and said When the two families were young, they opened the door to facilitate the children's play. Later, when everyone grew up, it became inconvenient, so the door was naturally blocked.
Since it's blocked, of course it won't open again, so she can rest assured.
Thinking of what happened in the previous life, he would not feel anything wrong with Shao Yanru contacting Wen Xichi. Qiu Yu and Shao Yanru had no contact at all in the past, but Wen Xichi was different. Their friendship since childhood was considered helpful. She and others won't think anything of it!
"Then the box was delivered?" Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows, no longer pursuing the relationship between Wen Xichi and Shao Yanru. In the last life, Wen Xichi must have been ill by this time, and in this life, he reminded him of the relationship between him and Shao Yanru. He escaped a disaster and was able to repay the friendship he had in his previous life.
"Yes, it's that box. This slave looked at it. Sister Yujie said that this box is not yours, but the nun sent by Yuhui Nunnery said that it was found in the quiet room where you lived before. She said that you were there. I’ve lived in the quiet room for so long, who’s not yours?”
Qu Le also said calmly that several maids knew about Shao Wanru's matter, and this matter had been arranged early. If it broke out at this time, there was nothing to panic about.
"There are a lot of people watching? Isn't it a little far away from other pilgrims?" Shao Wanru said calmly. He had just woken up, his long hair was hanging down, and he looked more and more lazy with a bit of generosity. Her palm-sized little face is as pretty as a beautiful picture, and every smile is full of charm.
"It was such a big fuss. Two nuns from Yuhui Temple and two ladies-in-law from Xingguo Palace were both very loud. They seemed to have just come here all the way. They attracted people when they came here. Besides, they also Master Youwen brought two people from the Criminal Department with him, so you can tell at a glance that something is going on, and it is a big deal, so naturally a lot of people came to watch the fun!"
Qu Le curled her lips and said, Miss Shao really made the best use of everything, even the nuns from Yuhui Temple. The appearance of nuns in the temple was originally a very surprising thing, but then listen to It looked like they were having an argument, but not many people came to see them. The door was already surrounded by people on three floors inside and three floors outside!
If it weren't for the fact that this courtyard is not accessible to ordinary people, or unruly pilgrims would have rushed in!
"Miss, please rest for a while and let them make noise!" Qu Le said, they are really not afraid of making a big fuss about this matter.
"No, go and ask Mr. Wen to come over, and I'll ask what's going on!" Shao Wanru thought for a moment and then ordered calmly.
"Go and invite Mr. Wen in? Why did you let him in? Since he came with the people from the Xingguo Duke's Palace, he will naturally help the Xingguo Duke's Palace. Miss, you don't need to pay attention to it. Anyway, your health is not good now, and it is not convenient to see outsiders. ." Qu Le said unconvinced. She originally thought that Mr. Wen was good, but now she thinks that Mr. Wen is really stupid. He is not the number one scholar. He didn't even see through the hypocritical and vicious face of the eldest lady.
"Since the people from the Criminal Department are here, they naturally want to meet them!" Shao Wanru shook his head and stopped Qu Le's negative behavior.
Wen Xichi must have come here because of something, but I don't know if it was a coincidence that he was involved in this incident, or if he was being held hostage, or maybe he took the initiative to help?
The possibility of the last one is relatively small, but no matter what, if Wen Xichi came or not left, he must have something serious to do. Although he was not in good health, he had met a few people before.
Hearing what Shao Wanru said, Qu Le pouted, not daring to really disobey Shao Wanru's wishes. He put a cushion for Shao Wanru so that she could lean on it more comfortably, then lowered the gauze curtain, and then I found a screen to block the bed and went out to invite Wen Xichi.
Shao Wanru leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the quarrel outside. He was not very clear, but it seemed that the other people's voices were too noisy.
Then there were footsteps. When he reached the door, he seemed to pause for a moment, and then walked in slowly.
"Master Wen, please!" Qu Le had already set up a chair and a coffee table on the other side of the screen. After inviting Wen Xichi to sit down, he served him another cup of tea, then stood by the screen and looked at him warily. Wen Xichi leisurely picked up the tea cup, skimmed the tea foam with the tea cup lid, and took a sip.
"Lord Wen, please forgive me for not getting up to greet you!" Shao Wanru's very soft voice from behind the screen was a bit weak, and he felt that he was not in good health.
"You're welcome, Miss Fifth. Is Miss Fifth's health okay?" Wen Xichi put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, and asked softly, looking at the screen with his handsome eyes. On the screen, there were pictures of beauties from all four seasons painted on the gauze. Looking over, I couldn't see what was happening on the other side. Apparently there was something blocking my view on the other side.
"It's nothing serious anymore." Shao Wanru whispered.
Although this was said to be nothing serious, the situation still felt like it was a hindrance.
"Fifth Miss, can I ask you something about the past?" Wen Xichi said businesslikely.
"What's the matter?" Shao Wanru's voice behind the screen paused for a while before asking in a low voice.
"Who is the Fifth Miss enmity with?" Wen Xichi spoke very smoothly, as if what he was talking about was not such a serious topic, but just a common question about the weather.
"Enmity? Why did Mr. Wen say that?" Although Shao Wanru's voice was low, there was a hint of surprise.
Wen Xichi was silent for a moment, his eyes still falling on the screen of the Four Seasons Beauties. Something inexplicable slipped through his mind, but he couldn't catch it for a moment. He frowned and stopped beating around the bush and spoke frankly. Said: "When the fifth lady was in General Ningyuan's Mansion, she had problems with the eldest lady of Ningyuan General's Mansion and the Di family at that time. She also had disputes with the children of the prefect of Jiangfu. Later, after she recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, she also had discord with Duke Xingguo. , Miss Fifth, do you think what I said is right?"
"Master Wen, what do you want to say?" Shao Wanru's voice was still as calm as water, as if what Wen Xichi was talking about was not her business, but just an ordinary passerby's business.
"Fifth Miss is a weak girl, don't you think this enmity is too much?" Wen Xichi said. After finishing speaking, he squeezed the hand on his lap hard, and a trace of discomfort flashed in his eyes. , what he said just now sounded uncomfortable even to him, as if Shao Wanru was blamed for everything.
But he had checked before and found that Shao Wanru was actually a poor victim in these things, and she was just a poor girl who was almost destroyed several times.
"Lord Wen, what do you mean?" Although the voice was still weak, there was a hint of anger.
This reminded Wen Xichi of the earliest time, the little girl whose eyes lit up when she saw him, and felt inexplicably more and more uncomfortable.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, suppressed the indescribable and unexplainable feeling in his heart, and explained sternly: "I just want to find out who wants to harm the fifth lady. I don't want to blame the fifth lady. I also ask the fifth lady to speak out." Let me tell you, there may be another mystery behind what you did before!"
This statement is very official, but naturally it is vague.
On the surface, it seems that Shao Wanru's matter has been settled, but privately the matter has been sent to Wen Xichi. The Changxingcao matter is extremely involved. The Minister of Punishment asked him to ask Shao privately again. Wanru, starting from Shao Wanru, no matter what, this matter is indeed aimed at Shao Wanru.
There was silence in the screen, Shao Wanru's long eyelashes fluttered, and his watery eyes slowly opened, a hint of darkness flashed under his eyes. As expected, this matter is still being investigated. Chu Liuchen had told her so before, let her first He said that he would settle the matter, no matter who was right or wrong in this matter, he just said that since it was an accident, he would not pursue it!
Just be more generous!
What will happen next? Chu Liuchen also told Shao Wanru not to intervene, warning her that in her capacity, if she intervened rashly, she would die without knowing how.
But now, Wen Xichi has found something in front of him. It seems that he is going to tear a gap from himself. No matter what the next result is, if the gap is torn from himself, he will be involved in it. Yes, this is not a good thing for her.
So, how should we respond now?
