Chapter 292: Being Scolded?
Ye Wenyan handed a painting to Feng Zhaolian and whispered to her, "I don't have anything to give you. This is a painting of Ah Heng. I processed it specially and it's very realistic. But maybe it's not what she looks like here, because I haven't seen what she looks like in the clothes of this era, so I can only draw her in my memory. But it's better than nothing. I'm giving it to you to keep a memory in your mind. It's also good to take it out and look at it occasionally."
Feng Zhaolian hugged her tightly, like a man hugging his beloved girl, elegant and heroic.
"Ayan, you still understand me. In fact, I still have a lot of things to say to you, and a lot of things in the past that I want to tell you. In this world, you are the only one who can make me say those words with confidence, and you are the only one who can truly believe those bizarre things that happened to me. If possible, I really want to stay here forever and not be separated from you. But no, Ayan, we can't do whatever we want in this life. We all have too many responsibilities in this life. While enjoying the new life, we must also bear those responsibilities. But don't worry, I will definitely come back to find you, and you are also welcome to our Guiyue!"
She finally let the man go, folded her arms in front of her, threw her head back and laughed. Her laugh was so hearty that everyone who saw it couldn't help but laugh along.
"I will be back!" Feng Zhaolian got on the imperial carriage, stepped on the railing outside the carriage, looked at Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei standing below and waved, "Wait for me, I will bring you Guiyue's specialties when I come back. Remember, don't marry yourself off easily, I will have to check what kind of man you find in the future! Okay, go back, I'm leaving now, remember to miss me."
Jiang Wanting said, "Let's go, you're not happy at all if you keep dawdling." But her eyes were sparkling, and she wanted to wipe the handkerchief in her hand. Chi Feifei also sniffed and waved at her, and reminded her, "When you want to get married, you have to be more discerning, and the person you find must be reliable. The mountains are high and the roads are long, so we can't go to the ceremony, nor can we add makeup for you, but if you come to Northern Qi again in the future, we will definitely make up for this gift to you. Feng Zhaolian, although it was annoying to pester us every day when you were here, but now you are leaving so suddenly, I really don't want to let you go. Have a safe journey, we will miss you."
People were waving at her. Feng Zhaolian was very satisfied with this scene. She enjoyed people's reluctance to leave for a while before turning around and walking towards the carriage. However, she stopped when the maid opened the curtain.
"Quan Qinghua." She turned around and called him, "Don't regret it if you don't follow me!"
Quan Qinghua still had that expressionless face and frosty eyes, and neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply said, "Goodbye."
Feng Zhaolian's originally good mood suddenly fell. She rolled her eyes at Quan Qinghua fiercely, then groaned and got into the carriage. She didn't look back until the imperial carriage was gone and she could no longer see it. The people who saw them off returned to the city one after another under the organization of Lin'an Prefecture Yin Chi Hongfang. Jiang Wanting pulled Ye Wenyan and said, "Let's go too!"
Ye Wenyan was still looking in the direction where the imperial carriage left. No one could understand her feelings. In fact, she was the same as Feng Zhaolian. Feng Zhaolian had no way to tell about her past life, and no one could tell her past. Although he had a master, Li Yuan, he didn't recognize or know the people and things in the past. He could listen, but he just listened.
Feng Zhaolian was different. She could participate and they could discuss Ah Heng and the immortal Xuan Tianhua together.
By the way, she hadn't told Feng Zhaolian that she had news of Xuan Tianhua, in the middle of the Wu'an Sea, in a place called Renxian Island. Of course, it was not easy to say, and she couldn't tell Feng Zhaolian that Xuan Tianhua was with Feng Qingqing. It sounded like the two of them had a good relationship.
The situation was a little complicated. She touched her nose and heard Jiang Wanting calling her, so she turned around and said, "You guys go back first. I want to stay here for a while and get some fresh air."
Jiang Wanting said, "It's so cold, how can there be any wind blowing through? Look at how pale your face has become. Forget it, you won't listen to me, so just stay here and we'll go first." After that, she told Zhuier, "Take good care of your young lady."
Jiang Wanting took Chi Feifei away. Ye Wenyan was still looking into the distance. She didn't know how long she had been looking, but she felt Zhuier pulling her sleeve. She came to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhuier twitched her chin. She looked in the direction she was looking and saw the Fourth Prince Quan Qinghua also standing at the place where they had seen him off, looking at her.
Ye Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then pulled Zhuier back without saying anything. But he heard the man behind him snort with disdain.
She was a little unhappy, "You said we should be treated as strangers when we meet, so how can strangers have emotions? Aren't strangers just strangers you don't know? Why do you look like you don't like me?" She turned around and asked in an aggressive tone.
Quan Qinghua didn't seem to expect her to be so quick-tempered. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Ye Wenyan then said, "Fourth Prince, we don't have any deep hatred. I also said that I can make compensation. As long as you don't always ask me to kill my second brother, I can agree to everything else. But you don't want to do it. You gave up this benefit and insisted on being a stranger to me. Then let's just be strangers and pretend that we have never known each other. Today is to send Princess Guiyue, otherwise I wouldn't stay with you, and you don't need to hum behind my back. Although I don't have eyes behind my back, I still have good ears. Real men, don't be so petty."
She chattered a lot and took Zhuier away. Only Quan Qinghua was left standing there, and she stood there for a long time.
Did he do anything to her just now? It seemed like he snorted, but the sound was too quiet. How did she hear it? Did he have ears on his body? This was too weird.
He didn't know why, but a question Feng Zhaolian had asked him suddenly popped up in his mind, as if the mysterious princess was whispering in his ear: "Are you interested in Ah Yan?"
He shuddered suddenly and frowned tightly.
Falling for Ye Wenyan? Are you kidding me!
In the First-Rank General's Mansion, Old Madam Ye was sitting in the room cursing her heartless nephew and niece-in-law.
This scolding has been going on from yesterday until today. I even didn't sleep well last night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed about what happened in the restaurant. I could hear my niece's wife saying that she was the mastermind behind all of this, and that her private seal was even on the purchase list!
The old lady was really angry this time. She started cursing as soon as she woke up in the morning. She even ignored Xiao and others who came to pay their respects and just shut the door and started cursing.
He was so tired from scolding that he stopped to drink some water and said to Jun Tao, "This kind of evil cannot stay in the Jiang family. I must immediately write a letter and send someone back to my hometown to ask my nephew to divorce this daughter-in-law."
Jun Tao advised her: "Old Madam, please think twice!"
Why would the old lady think twice about going in? What's more, she was just divorcing a commoner woman from her hometown. Why would she need to think twice?
Seeing her disdainful expression, Jun Tao said, "That lady seems to have a bad temper and not very smart. If she gets irritated by the divorce, she might spread the news about the restaurant. Those words may be unpleasant to hear."
The old lady was very angry. "So that's it? Will she continue to stay in the Jiang family? She was able to expose me this time, and who knows what she will say next time. I don't believe that the Jiang family can stay clean in Xiushan County."
"Then this matter should not be done by us." Jun Tao advised again, "The old lady no longer lives in Xiushan County. Although she cannot escape the relationship, at least she should not be too involved in the affairs over there. According to this servant, let's just forget about this matter. Anyway, Princess Guiyue has already returned to the country, so we should not take the initiative to cause trouble."
The old lady groaned twice, but she was no longer obsessed with interfering in the affairs of the Jiang family in Xiushan County. The more she thought about the restaurant yesterday, the angrier she became. "That restaurant is the signature restaurant of Lin'an Inner City. I will pass it on to my second son after I am a hundred years old. It is very impressive. I didn't expect that it would be taken back by that damn girl in less than two months, and I had to pay so much money to Princess Guiyue."
When she mentioned money, she panicked again. "When Gongzhong paid the money yesterday, did you notice the expression on the second daughter-in-law's face?"
Jun Tao nodded, "I noticed it, Madam, don't worry, the Second Madam didn't ask too many questions, and she paid as much as she wanted. But I looked at the account office a few more times, and it seems that there is not much money left in the bank account."
The old lady sighed after hearing this, "Yes, not much. Since the old man passed away, Xiushan County has come to ask for money several times. Fortunately, I was in charge of the household during that period, so I was able to spend the money smoothly. Now that the household is handed over to the second daughter-in-law, she has to listen to me in order to win over her husband. Even if she sees a problem, she can't say anything. But we must be careful of the first wife's family, and never let Mu Qianqiu contact the account office again."
Jun Tao nodded, "Don't worry, old lady. I will keep an eye on these things. There will definitely be no mistakes." The old lady looked at Jun Tao for a while, took her hand, and felt around again and again.
"My child, you have been with me since you were little. I watched you grow up. In my heart, you are like my own daughter. So I don't hide many things from you, and I rely on you. I just don't treat you as an outsider. I know that you are old enough to get married, but I can't bear to let you go. Just stay with me for a few more years, and I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you. As for who you want to marry, you can choose it yourself, or I can help you find one. You must find a good match."
