Chapter 265
The first day of October.
The Wang family returned to the capital.
Even if there are still many clan members to attend funerals at the old house in Fangshan, the Wang family must come back to prepare for the wedding.
Between funerals and happy events, only each person knows the warmth and warmth in their hearts.
Wang Xiao's main responsibility is to familiarize himself with the route and practice kneeling.
Tao Wenjun was extremely busy, arranging big and small things all the time, and his whole body was spinning.
When Wang Zhen came back from seeing the guests off, she saw her giving orders like a general. She handed her a glass of water in person and said, "Since the clan has said that everything can be kept simple, why do you have to worry so much?"
Tao Wenjun said angrily: "I'm happy with it, isn't it?"
"Okay, okay, aren't I afraid of tiring my wife?" Wang Zhen smiled bitterly.
Tao Wenjun suddenly remembered something and frowned: "The night before... the female general next to third brother, do you recognize it? I looked familiar from a distance..."
"I didn't pay attention." Wang Zhen responded casually, looked at the sky and said, "The people from Huguang should be arriving soon, right?"
"You can go to Beijing in the evening. The guest house in our mansion is full. After you pick them up, arrange for them to stay in my cousin's yard in the west mansion." Tao Wenjun said.
"Madam, you are really considerate of everything." Wang Zhen complimented her casually, stood up and said, "I'll go out to the capital to welcome you."
Tao Wenjun looked at Wang Zhen's back, but he was still thinking of that woman, and regretted not stepping forward to take a look at her the night before.
After a while, the custom-made brooch for Wang Xiao was delivered. Thinking that she had something to explain to Wang Xiao, she personally went to her third brother's yard to deliver it...
Tang Qianqian woke up on Wang Xiao's couch. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ying'er sitting there pretending to embroider, but she was secretly looking at herself.
Tang Qianqian smiled and said: "I didn't sleep much in the village the past two days, so I borrowed your young master's bed to catch up on my sleep. Do you mind?"
Ying'er said quickly: "Sister saved the young master and the Wang family. Ying'er is very grateful. How can I mind..."
She was afraid that Tang Qianqian wouldn't believe her, so she added, "I just thought my sister was beautiful, so I took a second look at her."
With that said, seeing that Tang Qianqian was about to get up, Ying'er hurriedly went over to help her, helped her put on her clothes and handed her water to wash her face, which was quite attentive.
Tang Qianqian smiled again and said, "I'll do it myself. You are Xiaolang's favorite, so I won't ask you to serve me."
Ying'er blushed and didn't know whether Tang Qianqian was joking or trying to beat herself up. She was quite at a loss.
The next moment, she was pulled by Tang Qianqian to sit down.
"Look at you, why are you panicking?" Tang Qianqian smiled and said: "My dear, you don't have to be afraid of me. If you see my little, lazy, greedy maid, you will know that I am not a caretaker.
.”
Ying'er's face turned even red, and she added, "The young master said the same thing, saying that my sister is the easiest to get along with."
Tang Qianqian untied a jade pendant from her neck, put it on Ying'er, and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't bring anything else, so I gave you this jade pendant..."
Ying'er lowered her head and saw that the jade was shiny and translucent. She knew that this was not an ordinary product, so she quickly said: "This is too precious, and Ying'er can't accept it."
Tang Qianqian patted her hand and said with a gentle smile: "It's not a valuable thing, but I've kept it for two years. People support jade, and jade also supports people. If you accept it, you recognize me as your sister."
Ying'er felt that the jade pendant was still warm, and she was a little surprised. She lowered her head and smiled, and couldn't help but said something silly: "If my sister wears the jade pendant, Ying'er can also change."
Is it beautiful?”
"Silly girl, you are already very beautiful..."
Ying'er secretly glanced at Tang Qianqian, feeling very close to her.
Within a few words, she felt that this beautiful and easy-to-get-together sister suddenly rose to the top of her heart.
Tang Qianqian managed to get rid of Ying'er with just a few words, but in her heart, she felt that it was not difficult to film such a simple little girl.
While we were talking, something difficult came up.
"Is third brother here?"
With these words, the door of the room was pushed open, and Tang Qianqian came face to face with Tao Wenjun...
The brooch in Tao Wenjun's hand fell to the ground.
Her mood is really complicated.
Even though she was born into a wealthy family, twenty thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money to her.
At the same time, this incident was also a huge blow to her self-esteem.
She actually never thought that one day she would see this female liar again.
"Young Mistress, this is... Ying'er's friend." Ying'er was quite loyal and planned to conceal the male-female relationship between Sister Tang and the young master.
Tang Qianqian patted her tassel, stood up, and said with a smile: "Sister Wenjun, long time no see."
Tao Wenjun said: "How should I call you? Sister of the Yan family?"
Tang Qianqian lowered her head.
Tao Wenjun said in a businesslike tone: "You defrauded me of my money, which is resentment. But you came to save the Wang family the night before, which is kindness. Since kindness outweighs resentment, I will never give up the 20,000 taels of silver."
"Sister Wenjun, I...I don't sincerely want to lie to you, I have my own reasons..." Tang Qianqian raised her head, with tears in her eyes.
"Stop acting." Tao Wenjun said: "I told you that the Wang family owes you a favor. There is no need to act again, and I will never believe you again."
As she spoke, her eyes wandered around the room, and then she said: "The Wang family owes you the life-saving grace that I owe you. But my third brother is about to get married, so please stay away from him."
"Sister Wenjun..."
Tao Wenjun said: "Isn't what I said unreasonable? It is only fair to repay a favor, and it is also fair not to have anything to do with a married man."
Tang Qianqian stroked the hair beside her ears and thought to herself: But Xiaolang and I are both unreasonable.
Tao Wenjun picked up the brooch on the ground and put it on the table, and said to Ying'er: "When the third brother comes back, let him come to Tao Ranju."
Tang Qianqian pulled Tao Wenjun's sleeve and said, "Sister Wenjun, I was wrong, but I have always regarded you as my biological sister..."
"So you cheated me out of my money?" Tao Wenjun asked.
Tang Qianqian said coquettishly: "You said it yourself at the time, twenty thousand taels is not too much."
Tao Wenjun became a little embarrassed and said anxiously: "Don't you really understand? My sisters were there at that time, and they were used to making fun of them. I can still..."
"That's right." Tang Qianqian said: "They envy Sister Wenjun for marrying a good-looking and talented son-in-law, so they talk about how much money they earn every day..."
"That's enough! I won't believe you anymore." Tao Wenjun pulled back his sleeves, turned around and left.
Tang Qianqian looked at her back and sighed.
"I have to please this sister-in-law..."
It's night.
When Wang Zhen came back from entertaining the guests, Tao Wenjun took him and talked about the matter.
"...I don't know how this female liar got in touch with the third brother."
Wang Zhen was surprised: "There is such a thing?!"
"Although she risked her life to save her the night before, one code is one code, and you have to take care of your third brother..."
"That's what Madam said." Wang Zhen muttered, "Well, I'll go and take care of it myself. Xiao'er's marriage is about to happen, and we must not leave a woman to stay in the house."
Not long after Wang Zhen left, she came back with Wang Zhu.
"I met my second brother outside. He wanted to talk to his wife about something." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
Tao Wenjun was slightly stunned.
Wang Zhu saluted and said directly: "I heard that my sister-in-law has an affair with General Tang's daughter?"
Tao Wenjun wondered: "What is General Tang's daughter?"
Wang Zhu said: "The daughter of General Tang Bowang who led people to rescue us the night before."
"Her surname is Tang again this time? She plays the daughter of a general?" Tao Wenjun sneered, "I always thought that my second brother was smart, but he also fell into the trap of a liar."
"My sister-in-law doesn't know that General Tang has just been promoted to guerrilla general because he investigated a major salt smuggling case in Beijing and Tianjin and made great achievements..."
"Private salt case?" Tao Wenjun frowned, as if he thought of something.
But Wang Zhu said again: "I was involved in the private salt case, and I also made 20,000 taels of silver from it. I escaped last time. This time, General Tang's daughter has moved into the mansion, for fear of being a visitor.
Not good."
In a flurry of conversation, I could only click on a few pieces of information, leaving the rest to Tao Wenjun to figure out on his own.
Tao Wenjun thought about it over and over and suddenly felt a little stagnant.
"I see..." She murmured.
Then Tang Bowang tracked down the illegal salt and found his second brother, so he asked his daughter to pretend to be a salt merchant to find out. If he hadn't been on good terms with her, his second brother would have been in trouble last time.
Because of her friendship with him, Miss Tang was open to the Wang family. When the Wang family was in trouble, she risked her own life and brought people to rescue her...but she still blamed her for being a liar. How uncomfortable must she feel?
It’s really lard that blinds my heart!
Tao Wenjun thought like this, and recalled the happy time when she and Tang Qianqian were talking bad about people behind their backs, and then thought of her words "I have my own reasons", and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes...
When Wang Zhen saw his wife crying, she glared at Wang Zhu fiercely.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you treat Miss Tang to a meal?"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Zhu set out his goal...
