Chapter 162: Bad things can turn into good things, ask for rewards!
Pingyang Houfu.
Zi Ze Ju.
Yang Wenyuan brandished a gun in court.
The weather is cold now.
There is a light snow every three days and a heavy snow every five days.
If we continue to attend classes as usual at this time and catch a cold, it would be counterproductive.
So although the Sheng family's private school did not suspend classes like last year, the time was also changed.
There are five days of study and two days of rest. There are only twenty days of school in a month, and the rest of the time is holiday, so Yang Wenyuan can do morning exercises in winter.
The snow in the courtyard was cleared by maids all the time, and Yang Wenyuan's lower body was extremely stable, so even though it was winter, Yang Wenyuan was still able to wield the spear with great force, and every move was full of power.
Under the white roof not far away.
A stunningly beautiful young woman was wearing a white fox fur coat, leaning against the door, looking over here with a smile on her face.
Her hair is like dark clouds, her eyes are like almonds and her cheeks are like a crabapple intoxicated by the sun.
Yang Wenyuan was about to finish his morning exercise.
Hualan entered the house in advance, and gently picked up the copper stove that was burning charcoal at the door, poured the hot water in it into the prepared washbasin, soaked the sweat towel in her hand, wrung it dry, and handed it to Yang Wenyuan who was following behind her.
"It's so cold, there's no need to do morning exercises every day. What if you get blown by the evil wind and catch a cold by accident?" Hua Lan was nimble with her hands, but she was slightly annoyed as she spoke.
Yang Wenyuan's face still had some heat left over from the exercise, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He smiled heartily when he heard this:
"It's okay. Don't you know my body?"
After saying that, he winked at Hua Lan and continued:
"Besides, I have a lot of energy and I have to move around, otherwise..."
Hua Lan's eyes were full of pouting as she glared at Yang Wenyuan fiercely.
But at the same time, I was thinking that my husband was too "thick" and never stopped when he was doing things. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone...
And these days, Mrs. Chen's indirect hints -
Madam Chen: Just because I don’t allow my husband to take a companion room doesn’t mean I don’t support my nephew taking a companion room!
Perhaps Yang Yuqing and his wife agreed to the family with the intention of expanding the family branches.
Hualan also heard that Madam Zheng, who was very famous in the city of Bianjing, also took a concubine for her husband, Marquis Zheng.
Under the influence of her father Sheng Hong, Hua Lan was not very opposed to the idea of staying in the same room with her husband. With the influence of the people around her, she was not very opposed to it either.
However, since Yang Wenyuan hasn't mentioned it for a long time, Hualan is not going to bring it up on her own initiative. After all, no one wants someone who competes for their favor to suddenly appear in the house.
But I can't endure it any longer, otherwise I will get a bad reputation for being jealous.
Hualan has been secretly thinking about it in her mind these days. She plans to consider candidates first, and then hire a companion after she becomes pregnant.
Speaking of pregnancy, Hualan also has a headache.
It has been almost two months since I got married, but there is no movement in my belly.
Although two months is normal, considering the Yang family’s current situation, the sooner the better!
The sooner she gives birth to a child, no matter it is a boy or a girl, the more her position as the eldest wife will be consolidated. Otherwise, it will still be somewhat unstable.
Yang Wenyuan naturally didn't know that Hualan had so many ideas.
Yang Wenyuan is extremely satisfied with his current life.
As for the heirs...
As a person with a modern soul, Yang Wenyuan was actually somewhat happy that Hualan had not yet become pregnant.
After all, he had only been a psychological father to others in his previous life, and he had never touched upon the field of being a physical father. Naturally, he didn't want to have a rebellious son so early...
But if it is a small cotton jacket, it would feel pretty good.
After Yang Wenyuan finished washing and having breakfast, Changqing, who had not returned home the night before, returned to the Marquis' Mansion shrouded in cold.
"My Lord, the matter has been investigated!"
In the study, Chang Qing took the hot tea handed to him by Yang Wenyuan and drank a few cups of it. Then he immediately said:
"It is true that the money was loaned in the name of the eldest lady of the Sheng family, and the manager sent to manage the money was caught in the dark room by me after I had been waiting for him all night.
After several rounds of interrogation, the man confessed that he was a manager of the Kang family's manor, and that the manor was the dowry that the eldest lady of the Kang family brought from the Wang family as a dowry. "
Only then did Yang Wenyuan nod.
As expected, so many conditions were met, and the one who lent the money was indeed Wang Ruoyu, who was manipulating the situation behind the scenes and lending money in the name of Wang Ruofu.
Now that the matter has been confirmed, Yang Wenyuan has to figure out how to handle it.
Yang Wenyuan thought for a moment, then looked at Changqing.
Changqing looks haggard and tired now. It is likely that he has been busy all night on this matter and has not slept a wink since yesterday.
Yang Wenyuan has always been generous to his own people.
"You have worked hard all night, go and have a rest. I will give you a few days off. When you wake up, go to the front yard to withdraw some money and go home."
Seeing Changqing's grateful look, Yang Wenyuan, who never cared about such things, simply waved his hand and asked him to leave first.
Then he called the maid to bring more tea and told her to go and call Hualan.
This matter can only be resolved perfectly by Hualan stepping in to avoid damaging the relationship between the two families.
The couple must conspire first.
After a while, a fragrant breeze arrived.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly send someone to call me over?"
Hualan was wearing a long cloak and formal clothes, looking like she was about to go out.
Ever since Hualan met Madam Zheng at the polo match through the introduction of the British Duchess, Hualan has often visited the Zheng family to seek advice and learning from Madam Zheng.
The two have a lot in common.
The eldest lady of the Zheng family was in poor health, so Madam Zheng took over the family early. Both of them were in charge of the backyard of the mansion at a young age, and their ages were not much different, so they had a lot of common topics.
Yang Wenyuan didn't keep the secret and raised his hand to hand over the complaint he had obtained.
After Hualan finished reading, she repeated Changqing's investigation results.
Hua Lan listened carefully, and her happy mood of going out suddenly disappeared. She looked at Yang Wenyuan with embarrassment and difficulty.
"Sir, my mother was wrong in this matter, I..."
"Eh……"
Yang Wenyuan waved his hand and said directly:
"For our Marquis' Mansion, this matter is just a minor problem, and it has been dealt with now, so it is not a big deal."
When Hua Lan heard this, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with emotion.
"But it's not a big deal for us..."
Yang Wenyuan looked at Hua Lan seriously and continued:
"But it's not a good thing for the Sheng family and my mother-in-law. You know, your parents' relationship is not good. If my father-in-law finds out about this..." Hua Lan immediately showed a worried look.
Lending money at high interest is unacceptable no matter which official's home it is in.
Not to mention my own father.
Hualan sees her father very clearly.
She knew that her father always cared about two things:
One is the development of the family.
The second is your own reputation.
And the relationship between mother and father is not good.
If this kind of thing happens again, I will definitely hit rock bottom.
He certainly won't get divorced, but there's no doubt that the couple will become estranged and will be sleeping in different beds in the future!
This is naturally not what Hualan wants to see.
"What should I do?" Even though Hua Lan had a plan in mind, she was panicked for a moment because it involved her parents.
However, Yang Wenyuan had already made plans in his mind, and said directly:
"So this matter still requires your help!"
"Should I take action?"
Hua Lan pointed at herself, somewhat confused about what Yang Wenyuan meant.
Take action yourself?
Why did he do this? To kill his relatives for the sake of justice?
Yang Wenyuan didn't know what Hualan was thinking, otherwise he would have given her a slap on the head.
What do you think your husband is?
"Of course!"
Yang Wenyuan nodded and said affirmatively:
"You go back to the Sheng family alone and make this clear. Otherwise, if I go back with you, I'm afraid it will make both families look bad."
Hua Lan nodded, secretly blaming herself for having such wild thoughts.
But maybe it was because Yang Wenyuan was giving advice, Hualan simply stopped thinking about it and just waited for Yang Wenyuan to feed her.
Yang Wenyuan looked at Hua Lan strangely, who just nodded and remained silent, but he didn't care and continued to speak:
"And this is not without benefits!"
"Are there any benefits?" Hua Lan seemed to understand the essence of flattery.
"Ok!"
Yang Wenyuan nodded and asked Hua Lan:
"Your aunt played such a big role in this. Can't we now sever her relationship with the Sheng family in one fell swoop?"
Hualan's eyes lit up.
Once this matter was discovered and she had committed such a big mistake, even if her mother didn't want to, it would certainly not be easy for her to look for Aunt Kang to continue their "sisterly love"!
Ever since Wang Ruoyu's sarcasm and ridicule at the beginning of the year, and his subsequent blackmail of her mother's dowry, Hualan has never had a good impression of Wang Ruoyu.
In addition, this time he used his mother's name to lend money at high interest, so there is no blood relationship left at all.
Only hatred and disgust!
If the fact that my family lent money at high interest rates was exposed...
If Yang Wenyuan hadn't been so understanding and caring...
If the elders of the Yang family knew about this...
If any of these things went wrong, life would be difficult for him and the Sheng family!
This isn't an aunt, she's clearly a debt collector!
Hualan secretly kept this grudge in her heart, waiting for a suitable opportunity to "repay" it.
Yang Wenyuan: You have a good personality, you are worthy of being my wife!
But Hua Lan was immediately in trouble.
How could she, as a daughter, not know about her mother's indecisiveness?
Even with this lesson, I'm afraid that as time goes by, the scar will heal and the pain will be forgotten.
And if my father knew about this, it would definitely be of no benefit.
Yang Wenyuan saw Hua Lan's difficulty and continued:
"Of course, we definitely can't tell my father-in-law."
"You won't tell your father?"
"Well, we just need to bring mother-in-law and your grandmother together and explain the matter to each other face to face. We can solve it directly in the backyard without bringing it to father-in-law. This way, we can solve the problem without hurting the relationship between the couple."
Yang Wenyuan became more and more inspired as he spoke, and continued:
"Then hand this big stick to your grandmother. Your mother will be afraid to use it. Even if she feels soft-hearted in the future, she will not dare to bring your aunt home again."
Taking advantage of someone's weakness is the best means of blackmail, especially for someone as straightforward as Wang Ruofu.
It should be noted that a nuclear bomb is most deterrent when it is always in the air, ready to go, rather than when it is launched all at once.
And Mrs. Sheng is the best candidate.
From her previous actions of inviting Nanny Kong and sending people to look after Wang Ruoyu who often came to the house, it can be seen that she is no longer indifferent to family affairs as usual.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s returned to her “home turf in Bian Jing” or because she’s grown older and softer and started making plans for the younger generations at home, but in any case, Mrs. Sheng no longer stays in Shou’an Hall motionless as usual, but starts to get involved in family affairs.
Moreover, Wang Ruofu had many dissatisfactions with Old Lady Sheng because of previous events, which led to a bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Now that Old Madam Sheng has such a big handle in her hands, Wang Ruofu will definitely not be able to keep a cold face anymore. She might even be more attentive than before.
Maybe this incident can become the fuse for improving the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
After listening to Yang Wenyuan's words, Hua Lan thought more and more that it made sense.
If we act in this way, maybe we can turn this bad thing into a good thing!
"So, when you get back, exaggerate the severity of the matter."
Yang Wenyuan smiled and said jokingly:
"The more serious you talk about, the more scared your mother will be, given her temperament. She will be even more afraid to associate with your aunt, and she will have to be careful to maintain her relationship with your grandmother."
"How can you frame your own mother-in-law like this?" Hua Lan knew the perfect solution to the problem. Her anxiety was instantly relieved. When she heard Yang Wenyuan's teasing, she immediately let out a coquettish sound.
But there was no blame in her tone, more like a woman's coquettish tone.
Yang Wenyuan chuckled when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said:
"Your husband helped you solve this big problem, don't you want to give him some sweet dates as a reward?"
When Hua Lan heard this and saw Yang Wenyuan's "obscene and lascivious" expression, she knew what Yang Wenyuan was up to. Her pretty face immediately flushed, and she huddled up in a ball, mumbling:
"It's still daytime..."
Yang Wenyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It sounds like it’s not possible during the day, but it may be possible at night?
In the past, Hualan had a conservative personality, and Yang Wenyuan had only unlocked the achievements of his limbs now. With what happened today, wouldn’t he be able to go snow-white again?
Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel his body getting hot again after his morning exercise. Maybe it was because the floor heating in the house was too hot.
"Okay, I'll talk to you when you come back!"
Yang Wenyuan forced himself to tighten his face and waved his hand:
"Aren't you going to look for Madam Zheng? Go quickly, don't get tired!"
Then Yang Wenyuan pretended to look towards the horizon and nodded to himself:
"Well, it gets dark early in winter, so remember to go early and come back early!"
Hualan felt that Yang Wenyuan's words were very meaningful, but after touching her cheeks which were getting hotter and hotter, Hualan decided not to think about it any further.
"We're not going to the Zheng family today, right? How about I just go back to my parents' home..."
Yang Wenyuan shook his head and interrupted:
"It's getting late now. You're going to the banquet today and you're going to the Sheng family in a carriage early tomorrow morning. If you dress up in a haggard manner, won't it make your situation look even more difficult?"
When it comes to acting, Yang Wenyuan is a professional!
