Chapter 1,136: Aren’t You Afraid that I Will Lie to You?
"Thank you, Master Wen!" Shao Wanru said in the accounting room.
"Princess Chen is so polite." Wen Xichi's eyes fell on Shao Wanru, his eyes clear and natural, "Can I ask Princess Chen a question?"
"Master Wen, please speak!" Shao Wanru said with a smile.
"I would like to ask, when Princess Chen came to Beijing and met me, she seemed to have good intentions toward me. Why did she trust me so much, a person she had just met, that she actually asked me to be my guarantee? Aren't you afraid that I would lie to you?"
The two of them had just met at Dieyi Zhai. Shao Wanru was just an eleven-year-old girl who had just arrived in Beijing. Wen Xichi was not the number one scholar at that time, but was just the third son of Wen Xiangfu. That's for sure. The strange thing is that the two people have never met each other before.
"I was young at that time. When I saw Lord Wen, I thought Lord Wen was a good person, so I asked Lord Wen for help naturally. Now that I think about it, it's really childish!" Shao Wanru thought about it and couldn't help laughing.
What she said was a bit old-fashioned, and she had not yet grown her hair. Her charming eyes were slightly curved, revealing a careless tenderness, but also giving people a light sense of alienation, without seeming too formal. Close without making people feel too distant.
"Then I'd like to thank Princess Chen for her kindness!" Wen Xichi retracted his eyes, smiled a little coldly, stood up and arched his hand towards Shao Wanru. "I still have something to do in the yamen, so I'll take my leave now!"
Shao Wanru stood up and bowed with a smile: "I have to thank Mr. Wen for what happened today. If it weren't for Mr. Wen, what would have happened!"
Of course, what happened today was planned by her. She wanted to take down Wei Dahai in one blow and cut off Wei Dahai's thoughts. But thanks to Wen Xichi's preparation, he had prepared everything that should be prepared, so that Wei Dahai and his wife could Even if he had other ideas, he didn't dare to say them.
Even if the official document and the official official from the Ministry of Justice testified, Wei Dahai would not be able to win if it were sent to the court, let alone Aunt Dong who was wholeheartedly on his side.
"Princess Chen is very polite. If Wei Dahai continues to cause trouble with this in the future, Princess Chen will send someone over on her own!" Wen Xichi turned around and left with a businesslike look.
There were many people in Dieyi Zhai, all talking about Wei Dahai and his wife and Aunt Dong just now. When they saw Wen Xichi coming out, someone let out a low moan, obviously recognizing Wen Xichi.
He leaned to the side and walked a few steps to avoid Wen Xichi. Then his eyes fell on the tent room with the door slightly closed, and then looked at Wen Xichi's back. A trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes. Shao Wanruo He was a seducer. Not only did he hook up with Chu Liuyue, but he also got in touch with Mr. Wen San.
"Princess!" The maid called in a low voice, drawing her eyes back, and her eyes fell on the several pieces of gauze in front of her, which she had picked randomly just now to avoid being noticed.
Shao Wanru is actually here to help people get justice?
She came late, and what she heard was roughly the same, which aroused her curiosity. She stayed here to listen to the gossip, but she didn't expect to see Wen Xichi coming out of the house where Shao Wanru was.
Wen Xichi is one of the few noble sons and young talents in Beijing. Princess Yuan'an also admires Wen Xichi very much. She even thinks that if she marries, she should marry such a noble son. Of course, it would be best if she marries a prince. Yes, after all, what she yearns for in the future is the position of the high-ranking queen.
"It's all done!" Princess Yuan'an said casually. After letting the maid pay the bill, she left with the maid. She stood at the door and looked out. She didn't see Wen Xichi. She should have They left early, with a dark look in their eyes. Chu Liuyue, Zhang Qilan, and now Wen Xichi...
"Princess, is it time to go back to the mansion?" The maid reminded her carefully. The princess left the mansion secretly. The eldest princess didn't know yet. The wedding was approaching, and the eldest princess didn't want the princess to go out casually.
"Let's go!" Princess Yuan'an nodded, not wanting to wander any further. After getting on the carriage, she thought for a while and then ordered the maid, "Go to King Zhou's courtyard outside the city!"
In the past, Chu Liuzhou often stayed in the other courtyard outside the city. When I asked before, I knew that Chu Liuzhou was also in the other courtyard these days.
"Princess, this... this is not in line with etiquette!" the maid hurriedly advised.
"Wordy!" Princess Yuan'an frowned displeased and glanced at the maid with a sharp look. The maid was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and did not dare to say another word of advice.
The carriage turned a corner and headed out of the city. At the intersection, Wen Xichi appeared at the intersection with his hands behind his back. He watched the carriage leave from a distance. The mark on the carriage was from the residence of Princess Ruiping. It seems that it is Princess Yuan'an.
When she was in Dieyi Zhai, Wen Xichi seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of her eyes, but she avoided it quickly and didn't find out who it was. If it were before, Wen Xichi would have just smiled and passed by, not caring who was there. Pay attention to him, but avoid him, but now that he is working in the Ministry of Punishment, he is naturally more vigilant and specially keeps an eye on him.
Why did Princess Yuanan avoid me? Shouldn't Princess Yuan'an be waiting to be married in the mansion at this time? He wasn't wearing a veil. Although he couldn't see clearly, his injury must have healed, otherwise it would be impossible not to wear a veil. Looking at the direction the carriage was going, he turned into the official road in the middle, speeding up and moving forward in an unstoppable manner, which seemed to be the way to go. Follow this official road to the outside of the city.
What's outside the city?
King Zhou’s other courtyard? This answer naturally appeared in Wen Xichi's heart. He pondered for a moment, then looked at the carriage leaving before turning around and leaving...
Shao Wanru didn't know what was going on outside, nor did she know that Princess Yuan'an had taken some things she saw out of context and had many imaginations about it, and she also told Chu Liuzhou about it.
"Princess, is this really okay? They won't come here again?" Aunt Dong was still a little worried, fearing that Wei Dahai and his wife would not give up. She was deeply disgusted with this couple and did not want to see them again. them.
"Wei Dahai doesn't dare. If we make trouble again, it won't be resolved privately. If we sue in court, they won't get any good." Shao Wanru smiled slightly and reassured Aunt Dong.
"But...but..." Aunt Dong has been very unsettled by them recently, and she always feels unsure.
"Don't worry, it won't happen anymore. This couple is not simple. It's not just about money. They are also busy with their niece's affairs." Seeing that Aunt Dong was still uneasy, Shao Wanru revealed a little bit of news, " If the prince of Qing Dynasty wants to marry the princess of Niao Kingdom, he must make his niece his concubine."
Mo Qiuyi, that is also a woman who cannot see through, how can it be simple!
"That's the best. It's best that they don't come here from now on." Aunt Dong made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said, since the princess said so, the princess of Ao Kingdom has just come to Beijing, Wei
Dahai and his wife seemed unable to concentrate on dealing with him, "When will the princess transfer the title of Dieyi Zhai to your name?"
"In just these few days, I will ask Yujie to come over and take you to the Ministry of Punishment to clear the case, and then get everything settled!" Shao Wanru said. When she wrote to Wen Xichi before, she was asking him to help investigate the previous involvement. Regarding the matter of the clerk in the case, since Wen Xichi just brought it up to talk about it, it shows that the problem is not big.
"Yes, I will wait for Miss Yujie to come over!" Aunt Dong nodded. She felt relieved that the issue of the ownership of Dieyi Zhai was settled.
In fact, it is just a matter of transfer of ownership, and everything else remains as usual. For Aunt Dong, it is best if there is no Wei Dahai to find her own reasons.
The matter was settled. Shao Wanru asked about the situation of the shop again before leading the people away. She had to ask Chu Liuchen to send someone to check on Wei Dahai. Is he so short of money? Even if he doesn't hesitate to confront himself, Princess Chen, there must be something more mysterious...
Wei Dahai and his wife returned to the house dejectedly. Both of them looked embarrassed. After everyone left, the two couples were speechless.
"What should we do now?" Wei Dahai touched his head and said distressedly. He did need money. A large amount of money was originally used to make up for it with Dieyi Zhai.
"Did Prince Qing say something?" Ouyang frowned tightly and asked after thinking for a while, with a very ugly expression on his face. "Is it possible that he really plans to make Qiu Yi a concubine?"
"That's what Prince Qing means. The one from Ao Kingdom must also have... bloodline, much higher than Qiu Yi's!" Wei Dahai said vaguely.
"What's so much higher? In fact, they are all the same. They are all the bloodline left by the princess. Why is it so much higher? If we really talk about it, Qiu Yi's bloodline is closer and higher. It's just that seeing the country of Ao That person has a high status and is so interested in it. How did he tell us before that he had clearly agreed to do something, but now he actually changed his mind!"
Ouyang slammed his hand on the table and cursed angrily: "You ungrateful thing, you don't even think about who rescued him, and now you dare to break off the engagement!"
Wei Dahai was silent for a long time before saying: "At this time, what's the use of being angry? You can't let him really ruin your marriage with Qiu Yi. Why don't you go to Princess Qing and tell them that we worked so hard to get them together?" The mother and son were rescued, but now they can't even be given a position. What does that mean?"
"It's all you. You could have asked Qiu Yi to marry you earlier, but you still said that you have to delay it, so as not to take advantage of King Chen. Now it's better, you have given them a reason to break off the engagement!" Ouyang didn't. said angrily.
"Don't worry, Prince Qing has to rely on us if he wants to get married. Proving our strength right now is the best way, but we are short of money!" Wei Dahai said.
"Sell those pieces of land first, and then go to Prince Qing's Mansion. I'll talk to their concubine about this!" Ouyang said angrily. Now she can only tear down the east wall and mend the west wall!
"Then let's do this for now. We still have to trouble Madam to go to Prince Qing's Mansion!" Wei Dahai said helplessly. Dieyi Zhai has no idea, and he doesn't dare to have any more ideas. Princess Chen has almost all the evidence. If he continues to rush forward, he is courting death. The fact that he has been able to live peacefully until now without any major incident shows that Wei Dahai has been forbearing!
