Chapter 176 You are a lowly person! How can a husband be unjust?
If one day.
You invite your good friend who studies hard in the same private school to have dinner together, but when he comes, he keeps complaining to you about what the "shrew at home" does.
May I ask, how do you feel at this moment?
Secretly delighted inwardly?
Show a disdainful expression?
Or are you thankful to have escaped unscathed?
I don’t know how others will react.
But at this moment, Gu Tingye, who was playing with the broken pieces of the cup in his hand, and Qi Heng, whose face was flushed and lips were tightly pursed, seemed to be able to tell something.
"stop!"
Gu Tingye, who was really fed up with Yang Wenyuan's chattering, finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to stop Yang Wenyuan from chattering.
"This is your own family matter. There's no need to keep mentioning it in front of us."
Gu Tingye didn't say "complaint".
Because combined with Yang Wenyuan's expression and tone, it didn't sound like he was complaining, but more like...
More like showing off!
Gu Tingye suddenly seemed to understand something and cursed in his heart:
Damn, damn it!
"Hey, we're all brothers!"
It was also the first time for Yang Wenyuan to show his affection in front of others. He didn't expect that it would be such a pleasant thing.
Apart from the fact that it is easy to lose friends, it can be said that there are no disadvantages at all!
Seeing that Yang Wenyuan wanted to speak more, Qi Heng couldn't listen any longer.
Although he longed for Yang Wenyuan's sweet and beautiful marriage life and hoped that he and Minglan could have the same life in the future, he did not have the tendency to be masochistic when being shown off by others, let alone Yang Wenyuan's high-intensity output.
"I'm here to discuss something important with you this time." Qi Heng spoke quickly while Yang Wenyuan was taking a breath.
"Oh? Was it you, Yuan Ruo, who brought them together?"
Yang Wenyuan was surprised. He saw that it was Shitou who came. Plus, it was almost New Year, so only Gu Tingye had the leisure and elegance to invite people out for drinks. So he had a preconceived idea from the beginning, thinking that Gu Tingye was bored at home and deliberately urged them to go out for fun.
I didn’t expect it was the good boy Qi Heng.
"Ok!"
Qi Heng nodded, and then continued:
"The Spring Examination is coming soon, so I thought that on the second day of the New Year, if everyone has free time, the three of us classmates will invite each other to visit Mr. Zhuang at the Sheng family. What do you think, brothers?"
Seeing Qi Heng's anxious face, Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye at the table smiled at each other with unfathomable smiles.
Are you here to visit Mr. Zhuang?
You are obviously coveting Minglan's body, you are despicable!
Among all the young men in Sheng's academy, except Changfeng, it is still unknown whether he knows about it, but Yang Wenyuan, Gu Tingye and Changbai have long been aware of Qi Heng's intention to spy on Minglan.
We even discussed it privately.
Now that Qi Heng suddenly did this, in the eyes of Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye, this was Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew it!
It was obvious that he was using the name of Mr. Zhuang to go to the Sheng family to see his beloved Minglan, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"I agree!"
Gu Tingye has always been instigating and encouraging the relationship between Qi Heng and Minglan.
She wished she could control Qi Heng's hand and let him elope with Minglan.
This is not enough.
If Qi Heng and Minglan got on the carriage.
Looking up, I saw that the coachman driving the car must be Gu Tingye himself.
Gu Tingye immediately said generously:
"I have nothing to do at home anyway, so it would be nice for us to go visit the Sheng family together."
After Gu Tingye finished answering, the two people present immediately fixed their eyes on Yang Wenyuan.
Yang Wenyuan shrugged and replied:
"Have you forgotten that Hualan is the daughter of the Sheng family? I will be indispensable when you go to the Sheng family on the second day of the New Year."
"Okay, it's settled then!" Qi Heng said happily.
Looking at his happy expression, he might be thinking about something good.
night.
Zi Ze Ju.
Hua Lan looked at Yang Wenyuan, who walked in with a slight smell of alcohol and a food box in his hand, and a hint of surprise rippled in her beautiful eyes.
His earmuffs were still worn by Yang Wenyuan!
He cast a questioning look at Chang Qing behind Yang Wenyuan, but received only an affirmative nod.
That's not right.
I forced the earmuffs on my husband's head, just as the book said, women should occasionally show some harmless temper, which can better promote the relationship between husband and wife.
Why did Yang Wenyuan do it?
Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?
Seeing Hualan's silly and cute expression, Yang Wenyuan felt more and more proud. He immediately laughed and handed over the food box containing soft cheese.
"Fanlou's soft cheese is your favorite!" Yang Wenyuan's face was tense, and he deliberately moved the earmuffs in front of Hualan.
"Oh……"
Hua Lan took the food box handed to her by Yang Wenyuan with hesitation, but she couldn't hide her surprise. Even though Chang Qing nodded, she still asked without giving up:
"Sir, you haven't taken off your earmuffs all afternoon?"
"No ah!"
Yang Wenyuan had done nothing wrong, so he felt very confident. He turned around and asked Chang Qing behind him:
"Tell me, did I pick it?"
"No!" Chang Qing answered very confidently, without any reluctance at all.
Hualan's doubts were still unresolved, but Yang Wenyuan didn't care.
After all, if you haven’t done it, you really haven’t done it!
"Let's eat. These are what I brought back from Fanlou. Let's eat them while they're hot!"
"Yeah~"
At the small desk in Zi Ze Ju.
While Cuichan was taking dishes out of the lunch box, Yang Wenyuan and Hualan talked about what happened in the afternoon.
Seeing that Qi Heng's actions became more frequent and bolder as the Spring Examination approached, Yang Wenyuan also told Qi Heng about his feelings for Minglan.
"What? It was the young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion who called you? I thought it was the second son of the Gu family..."
"Discuss going to Sheng's house together on the second day of the New Year? Why?"
"Ah?! Yuan Ruo is interested in Sixth Sister?"
After listening to Yang Wenyuan's story, Hua Lan felt that the world had become something she no longer recognized.
"Qi Heng fell in love with Ming Lan, how could this be possible?"
But after seeing Yang Wenyuan's solemn promise and the confessions of Gu Tingye and Changbai, Hualan nodded doubtfully.
"This is too surprising. I need to slow down first."
Yang Wenyuan nodded in understanding.
Yes, in the eyes of others, Qi Heng and Minglan are probably more shocking than Yang Wenyuan and Hualan.
After a while.
Yang Wenyuan was eating when he suddenly heard Hua Lan, who was deep in thought, raise her head silently and speak slowly:
"No, it's such a big deal. I have to talk to my grandmother about it next time I go back..."
Next time you come back?
Yang Wenyuan paused while eating.
Isn’t it just the second year of junior high school?
His throat moved quickly to swallow the food.
"No, this matter hasn't even started yet!"
Yang Wenyuan told Hualan that he was only sharing this interesting story with his wife from the perspective of an outsider. He didn't want to ruin this young love because of his family's reasons, so he quickly said:
"I am just making wild guesses. If you go home and tell your grandmother about this and it turns out to be wrong, how will it end?"
"You were so sure of what you said just now, weren't you? Are you going back on your word now?"
Hua Lan frowned and glared at Yang Wenyuan, saying viciously:
"If Qi Heng is really as bold as you say, then it concerns Sixth Sister's reputation! How can I, the eldest sister of this family, not care?"
Yang Wenyuan sighed helplessly in his heart.
I didn't expect that I would suffer the consequences after just being a gossipmonger.
"It's not that I don't allow you to say it, it's just that this matter is difficult to talk about."
Yang Wenyuan said earnestly:
"This hasn't happened yet. It's still in the conceptual stage. It's not even an attempted crime. Do you understand?" "Besides, even if it's true, you told your grandmother at home. What can she do?"
Yang Wenyuan pretended to spread his hands and analyzed:
"Should we kick Qi Heng out, or call Minglan back to Shou'an Hall?"
As he spoke, Yang Wenyuan put his hands behind his back and paced around the room.
"It's definitely not an option to drive her away. The Qi family is so big and powerful that the Sheng family can't afford to offend them. So we can only call Minglan back."
Hua Lan nodded, affirming Yang Wenyuan's analysis.
"Yes, don't let Sixth Sister go to the academy anymore. If things go on like this for a long time, the relationship will naturally fade away."
"How can it be so easy?"
Yang Wenyuan shook his head and denied:
"Qi Heng is not like me and Gu Tingye, among a hundred flowers..."
"Hmm?" Yang Wenyuan was about to speak freely, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he immediately took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"In short, Qi Heng has been raised by Princess Pingning since he was a child, and he has rarely seen maids of the same age. Now he has suddenly developed feelings for Minglan. The emotions that have been pent up for so many years have come to the fore. Now, let alone saying that he has fallen in love with Minglan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a crush on her."
"You suddenly took Minglan away from him. Where do you think he will vent his depression?"
Yang Wenyuan stopped in front of Hualan, rolled up his sleeves, slowly squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said word by word:
"If this continues, he might not even have the heart to study. Besides, even Princess Pingning has temporarily tolerated this poor couple. How dare you, a illegitimate sister, intervene..."
"If Qi Heng fails to pass the imperial examination in the future, who do you think the Qi family will vent their anger on?"
"Princess Pingning already knows?"
Hua Lan listened to Yang Wenyuan's words, her face became more and more embarrassed. Suddenly she heard that Princess Pingning already knew about it, and her eyebrows immediately knitted tightly, and she said worriedly:
"Then she won't do anything bad to Sixth Sister, right?"
Yang Wenyuan realized that his words of truth and "threat" had almost dispelled Hua Lan's thoughts, so he said in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, Madam. As long as we stand aside and respect the fate of others, and don't disturb Qi Heng's mood because of this matter before the Spring Examination, Princess Pingning will never blame us."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, though." Yang Wenyuan thought to himself.
Seeing that Hua Lan still remained silent, Yang Wenyuan continued:
"Don't worry, Minglan is a smart person. As long as Princess Pingning doesn't think that she is clinging to her precious son, then Sister Minglan will be fine."
After marrying Hualan, he had the experience of running around for Gu Tingye.
Yang Wenyuan no longer cared about other people's affairs.
Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but you also have to take everyone's feelings into consideration.
And if it is not handled properly, it will end up in a thankless situation.
Yang Wenyuan has no intention of being someone else's firefighter.
Instead of focusing on others, it is better to close the door and live your own life well.
As long as it doesn't involve you too much, you can just build a ladder at home and sit on your roof to watch the show.
Isn't this delicious?
If Wang Ruoyu had not been caught by his manager while lending money at high interest and had not used his own reputation to spread the news, Yang Wenyuan would not have bothered to cause trouble for her.
As for the Sheng family's affairs.
Because of his marriage to Hualan, some matters concerning the reputation of the entire family may affect himself, so Yang Wenyuan must take care of it if he can.
As for the original story line.
What kind of thing happened in the Sheng family that could involve my in-laws?
As far as Yang Wenyuan can remember, it seems not.
If we have to force an involvement, it would be that Wang Ruoyu used Wang Ruofu to poison Old Madam Sheng.
However, because of the loan sharking incident that Yang Wenyuan instigated, the two sisters of the Wang family have now broken up, and Wang Ruofu's relationship with Old Madam Sheng is also gradually improving. As for the poisoning incident, it is natural that the fetus was stillborn.
As for things like those between Minglan and Qi Heng, Yang Wenyuan naturally just stood by and watched.
After listening to Yang Wenyuan sorting out the clues, Hua Lan stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, he turned to Yang Wenyuan and asked weakly:
"You really can't tell anyone?"
"cannot!"
Yang Wenyuan nodded firmly and said:
"You'll be harming anyone you tell, even your grandmother."
"Ma'am, you don't want your grandmother to be in a dilemma about this, do you?"
Seeing that Hualan seemed a little depressed, Yang Wenyuan's serious expression changed and he immediately said with a playful smile:
"We should live a prosperous life behind closed doors, and let others decide their own affairs. Even a judge can hardly judge family affairs, and feelings are even more difficult to explain. What do you think, madam?"
"Yeah~" Hua Lan responded softly.
Only then did Yang Wenyuan sit down again.
He had been hungry for a long time, and having just talked so much, he felt even hungrier. He immediately started to devour the sumptuous meal in front of him.
But Hualan was obviously distracted by the sudden news and immediately lost her appetite.
He was already a slow eater, and now he was even slower, as if he could chew a mouthful of food for eternity.
Seeing this, Yang Wenyuan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Hualan's lips.
"Madam, can you please do me a favor? Ah..."
Hualan had never been fed by Yang Wenyuan with chopsticks before. She sniffed lightly with a blushing face and immediately smelled the fragrant aroma, which made her feel a little hungry.
She opened her cherry lips slightly and swallowed the food with a blush on her face.
"How is it?" Yang Wenyuan asked with concern.
"Not bad..." Hua Lan felt her cheeks were very warm and hummed softly.
She didn't see clearly what dish Yang Wenyuan picked up, but she felt that it was a bit too sweet, and it was always a new dish made by the chef of Fanlou.
"Ok!"
Yang Wenyuan nodded seriously, and then, seeing Hua Lan's shocked expression, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the chopsticks in his hand.
Facing Hua Lan's surprise, Yang Wenyuan said lightly:
"It's dirty, wipe it off."
!!!
Hualan felt her face getting even hotter.
But it was not shyness, but anger.
She immediately extended her index finger, pointed at Yang Wenyuan and said:
"You weren't like this before!"
dirty?
You clearly treated me like a treasure before!
"is it?"
Yang Wenyuan asked back in confusion, but suddenly he said:
"are you full?"
"I'm full!" Hua Lan said fiercely, then sat sideways with her hands on her hips, waiting for Yang Wenyuan to comfort her.
I just had a little appetite, but I was immediately filled up!
Yang Wenyuan nodded in understanding.
Then, seeing Hualan's very appropriate posture, he was secretly happy.
He immediately took a step forward and easily hugged Hualan around the waist.
"Ah~!"
Hua Lan felt her body suddenly float in the air, and her bare hands couldn't help but hug Yang Wenyuan's shoulders and arms.
"What are you doing?"
“Exercise!”
The maids and servants had already been dismissed. Yang Wenyuan walked towards the bed and said:
"You have a poor appetite, so you need to exercise more. When you are tired and take a rest, your appetite will return."
Looking at the "burning flame of revenge" in Yang Wenyuan's eyes, Hua Lan trembled.
"No, sir, I'm wrong... um~!"
Yang Wenyuan sneered in his heart: Where has the arrogance during the day gone?
It’s too late to beg for mercy now!
How can a husband not be upright? !
