Chapter 14: Being too sensible is not a good thing

"Yes, why not!"

Yang Wenyuan was confident and justified.

"He's a pedantic scholar who only knows how to read. How can I be afraid of him? Lead the way!"

Looking at his young master's heroic and high-spirited appearance, Chang Qing couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that since his young master started practicing martial arts, he has become more and more like a military commander.

Not only in his actions, but now his words are also becoming more and more consistent, and he has become the crude warrior that he once looked down upon.

Someone needs to correct this!

Yang Wenyuan walked quickly into the main room and saw Yuan Wenshao as soon as he entered.

He is of average looks, thin, and looks like a weak scholar.

Two punches should knock him out for a long time.

It was expected that Yuan Wenshao chose this time to come to the house, and he must be here to call for punishment. He was an enemy, not a friend, so Yang Wenyuan spoke without any politeness.

"Yuan Erlang, I remember that we didn't have any contact. How come you didn't send me a visiting card in advance, but suddenly came to visit me today?"

Yuan Wenshao glanced at Yang Wenyuan's muscular body with contempt.

Identity authentication successful - a rough and rude warrior.

"You ruined my marriage, and you're still playing dumb with me?"

Although Yuan Wenshao had no feelings for Sheng Hualan, after all, the two families had already discussed the marriage and the process had reached the stage of the betrothal ceremony. Sheng Hualan was almost certain to be his wife. But suddenly Yang Wenyuan appeared and ruined his marriage.

I heard that there was a rumor going around during this period that Yang Wenyuan was going to marry Sheng Hualan.

The reason is that ever since Yang Wenyuan returned to Beijing, there has been an endless stream of letters between Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Sheng family every month, and they are all expedited, making the post station earn a lot of money!

How could this make him angry?
Isn’t this equivalent to Yang Wenyuan stealing his wife?
So, after learning from Yuan Wenchun that the Sheng family was about to enter Bian Jing, he returned without stopping.

Revenge with unwavering determination!
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
You stole my wedding, so I'll ruin your wedding too!

"Erlang, don't talk nonsense. How could I have ruined your marriage? It was obviously your Yuan family who relied on the imminent marriage and acted arrogantly, angering the Sheng family and causing the marriage to fall through. How could you blame me?"

"I don't blame you? You and Gu Tingye colluded with each other, using the excuse of playing pot-tossing to let go of the geese I hunted, and took the betrothal gifts and loaded them on the ship. You still don't admit it?"

"It's not our fault. It was Yuan's eldest brother who instigated us to do this. If you want to blame someone, go find your eldest brother. Why are you looking for me?"

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshao became even angrier and stood up angrily.

How could he not know that his elder brother Yuan Wenchun was also involved?
However, the mother in the family had always favored the eldest brother since he was a child, and the eldest sister-in-law was crying and admitting her mistake. In the end, the father lifted him up high, put him down gently, and only punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days.

Even the ancestral hall was not fully kneeled.

As soon as my father left home, my mother released my eldest brother.

This made him so angry that he ran out of Bian Jing. He decided to turn a blind eye to the incident and went out to study. That's why he missed Yang Wenyuan and only met him today.

But this matter was not easy to mention to outsiders, so Yuan Wenshao could only point the finger at Yang Wenyuan.

"My eldest brother is wrong, but you are not wrong? If you hadn't done something too outrageous, the Sheng family would have been too busy trying to get close to our family, so how could we possibly cancel the engagement!"

Yang Wenyuan knew that Yuan Wenshao was angry and couldn't resist at this time, so he lowered his voice and said softly:

"We know we were wrong, but we were too young and impulsive at the time. We were provoked by your Dalang and just started to fight."

Yuan Wenshao glared and wanted to say more, but Yang Wenyuan said repeatedly:
"But now that the big mistake has been made, we might as well take a long-term view."

"The marriage is over, how can we make long-term plans?"

Hearing that Yuan Wenshao's tone was somewhat relaxed, Yang Wenyuan immediately hit the snake with a stick and continued:

"This marriage is over, but there are still other marriages to come, right?"

?

Do people say it?
Without waiting for Yuan Wenshao to get angry, Yang Wenyuan hurriedly said:
"Erlang, don't be angry yet, wait for me to finish what I am saying."

"Now the Sheng family marriage is over, but you have to get married. What will you do if something like this happens again next time?"

When Yuan Wenshao got the news about his brother Yuan Wenchun, he immediately rushed back to Beijing. Without even taking a breath, he went to Yang Wenyuan's house to cause trouble. How could he have considered this?

"You see, right? Given your elder brother's personality, he will definitely make things difficult for you in the future, so you must find a way to prevent future troubles. As long as you make your elder brother lose his greatest support, your future life will surely be much better, and your marriage will not have so many twists and turns." Yuan Wenshao felt that what Yang Wenyuan said made some sense.

There is no way to continue like this.

My mother, brother and elder sister-in-law always make trouble for me and treat me like a bastard.

But he is also the second son of the Earl's family and is born of the same mother!
Seeing that Yuan Wenshao was somewhat moved, Yang Wenyuan stepped forward and held his wrist with a firm look in his eyes.

"So, we have to find a permanent solution!"

"What method?" Yuan Wenshao asked hesitantly.

"Get rid of your brother's biggest leg?"

"Which leg?"

"Jianghu..."

Yang Wenyuan almost made a mistake in his words and immediately changed it back.

"Your mother!"

Yuan Wenshao was startled and hurriedly pulled back his hand, looking at Yang Wenyuan in disbelief.

"I'm not trying to kill your mother. I'm trying to make sure she's too busy to take care of herself and doesn't have the energy to care about you and favor your brother."

"What should we do then?" Yuan Wenshao looked interested.

"Find out what your father likes and find him a concubine. By then, your mother will be too busy with her backyard fire to care about you."

This was the trick Hualan used in the original plot, but Yang Wenyuan brought it up in advance.

However, Yuan Wenshao has not yet married and started a family, and has not experienced the difficulties of being caught in the middle. He is also a foolishly filial person, so he may not use this trick.

But not necessarily.

After all, the original plot didn't involve the Sheng family breaking off the engagement, not to mention that he was so angry that he left home.

Yang Wenyuan has already given the method, and it is up to him to decide whether to use it or not.

Seeing Yuan Wenshao frowning and looking uneasy, Yang Wenyuan added something quietly.

"You don't have to be the most obedient and sensible child in the family. That's often the most tiring."

"Where's your older brother? I think he's living a comfortable life."

……

Bianjing Wharf.

The boat docked and the Sheng family arrived in Bian Jing.

Coming to the majestic, ancient and prosperous city again, Old Lady Sheng sighed inwardly: After so many years, I am finally back.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?"

Little Minglan followed Mrs. Sheng's gaze, but saw only air and Li Fu, with a confused look on her face.

Old Madam Sheng smiled softly and said softly:

"When grandma and Ming'er were your age, they lived here. Now decades have passed, grandma is old, but I didn't expect this place to remain the same."

"Grandma, did you live here before?"

Little Minglan's cute face was full of envy.

"Are we going to live here in the future?"

"Of course, the Sheng family has an old house in Bianjing, and we will live there from now on."
