Chapter 14: Curious

Chapter 14 Curious

At this time, Wen Rugui had already gone to court, Wen Rusheng flinched, asked a servant to find out where the yamen was, and ran over to wait.

Wen Rugui returned to the yamen and heard his subordinates report that the clan brother was coming.

Wen Rugui is a person who loves face. He doesn’t take Wen Rusheng seriously in his heart, but he cherishes his reputation in his hometown and doesn’t want to fall into disrespect for the poor family.

“Is there an urgent matter for my starling to find me?” Wen Rugui asked kindly.

Wen Rusheng glanced left and right, but hesitated.

Wen Rugui frowned.

Seeing my cousin’s pale face and unwilling to speak in front of outsiders, I’m afraid it’s a big deal.

He sent the others away, and said warmly: “There are no outsiders now, so feel free to tell me if you have something to do.”

Wen Rusheng glanced at the door and asked worriedly, “No one will hear me?”

“Don’t worry, mynah, I won’t.”

Wen Rusheng finally calmed down and said in a low voice, “Tenth brother, your youngest daughter is a monster!”

“What?” Wen Rugui thought he had heard it wrong.

“I said… your little girl is a man-eating monster!”

Wen Rugui was sure he heard it right, and his face sank immediately: “Mynah, are you still awake?”

“I didn’t sleep at all last night!” Seeing Wen Rugui’s disbelief, Wen Rusheng became anxious and gestured, “I saw it with my own eyes, your little daughter eats fingers, human fingers!”

Wen Rugui’s face became even worse: “If mynah is not feeling well, I will send you to see the doctor, but you can’t talk nonsense.”

Wen Ru stood up in a hurry, his face flushed with anxiety: “Ten brother, I really didn’t lie to you, I saw it in the garden last night when I came back!”

“What did mynah do in the garden at night?” Wen Rugui’s tone was cold, obviously Wen Rusheng’s remarks made him very annoyed.

“I came back to see Feng’er after drinking at night, and saw a shadow in his house. But there was no one in his house, so I went out to look for it, but in the garden I saw your little daughter eating people’s fingers— ”

Wen Rugui couldn’t bear it any longer, and slapped the table: “Mynah, you’re obviously drunk and dazzled, and now you’re talking drunk.”

“Tenth brother, why don’t you believe it?” Wen Rusheng was about to cry.

He didn’t dare to confront the monster, but the tenth brother is the monster’s father, so he could subdue her, right?

“What do I believe? I believe that my dignified servant’s daughter is a man-eating monster?” Wen Rugui’s face was ashen, and he couldn’t care less about maintaining a gentle mask.

Don’t say this is too ridiculous, even if it’s true, it can’t be known!

At this time, Wen Rugui was very tired of this clan brother.

After all, someone who has spent most of his life in a remote place learns to believe in gods and ghosts from ignorant women.

Believe that these things have nothing to do with him, and it is unbearable to be involved in his head.

“I swear I don’t have dazzling eyes, or I’ll be struck by lightning!”

Seeing that he made such a promise, Wen Rugui was angry and a little hesitant, and said lightly, “It happens that I don’t have much to do, so I’ll go back with mynah to have a look.”

Wen Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The two rushed back to Wen Mansion, and before they got off the carriage, they saw a young man walking towards the mansion with a servant.

The young man saw the two and bowed his hands: “Father, tenth uncle.”

Wen Rugui frowned and glanced at Wen Rusheng.

Wen Rusheng looked shocked, pointed at the young man and asked, “Feng’er, you, are you all right?”

Wen Feng was ashamed: “My son didn’t return last night, so you are worried.”

“Where have you been?” Wen Rusheng was surprised, completely forgetting that it was outside the gate, and asked loudly.

‘son-”

Wen Rugui lightly interrupted Wen Feng’s words: “Myling, if you have anything to ask Feng’er, just go back to the mansion and ask. There can’t be no one in the yamen all the time, I’ll go back first.”

“Ten brother, tenth brother—”

Seeing that Wen Rugui did not return to the carriage, Wen Feng looked puzzled: “Father, what happened to Uncle Ten?”

In his impression, Uncle Ten is a very kind person.

“Where the **** did you go last night?” Wen Rusheng was angry.

Wen Feng hurriedly dragged Wen Rusheng inside: “Father, let’s go in and talk.”

The father and son entered the mansion, and they saw Lin shi with their two daughters approaching after a few steps.

Wen Rusheng stopped abruptly, his gaze fell on Wen Hao’s face uncontrollably.

Wen Hao pursed his lips and smiled.

Wen Rusheng shivered and hurriedly looked back.

“Mynah and Feng’er went out together.” Lin Shi greeted with a smile.

Lin is a very simple person. In her opinion, this is her husband’s clan brother. No matter whether he is rich or poor, since he is here, he should treat him well, and no one should be wronged.

Wen Rusheng couldn’t help but glance at Wen Hao, but he didn’t dare, it was a wink in Lin’s eyes.

Lin’s face showed concern: “Mynah’s eyes seem to be cramping, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?”

“No need, no need.” Wen Rusheng hurriedly declined and almost fled back to his residence.

“Father, you are a little strange today, did something happen?”

Wen Rusheng’s face was dark: “Why didn’t you come back last night?”

“My son was drinking with a friend and accidentally drank too much. My friend stayed with me for one night.”

“Then why don’t you let the little servant come back and send a letter?”

Wen Feng glanced at the nervous servant: “Tingfeng stay and take care of me, or else I will trouble the servants of my friend’s house, I’m so sorry.”

“Feng’er, you don’t want to make some friends—”

“He is the son of Shangshufu.”

“That’s fine, that’s fine. But last night—”

“What happened last night?”

“Nothing…” Wen Rusheng swallowed what he wanted to say.

Is it really that he is dazzled?

In a spacious and luxurious carriage, Mr. Lin pulled open the drawer fixed on the wall of the carriage, revealing a full of candied fruit, and greeted his two daughters to eat.

Wen Chan couldn’t help laughing and crying: “Mother, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at my grandfather’s house.”

“You can’t eat it when you arrive at your grandfather’s house.” Mrs. Lin picked up a candied date and put it in her mouth, “The doctor said that your grandmother is getting old and she wants to eat less sweets, but your grandmother can’t keep her mouth shut…”

Listening to their mother talking about their grandmother, Wen Hao and Wen Chan looked at each other with mixed feelings.

Such peaceful and carefree days will soon be shattered.

Wen Hao only ate the third plum, and the General’s House arrived.

The mother and daughter got off the carriage one after another, and Wen Chan and Wen Hao hugged Lin’s left and right to go inside.

Lin shi suddenly stopped, pointed in the direction of Prince Jing’s mansion and said strangely: “I don’t know what kind of distinguished guest that old man is, but Prince Jing’s mansion actually opened the door.”

Wen Hao followed and looked over, puzzled.

In her previous life, her mother took her and her eldest sister back to her grandfather’s home, and she did not encounter any distinguished guests from King Jing’s mansion.

The accident with her grandmother and mother was imminent, and she recalled all the things that happened during this time.

“Fang Fei, go and find out who’s coming to Jing Wang’s mansion.”

After listening to Lin’s instructions, Wen Chan’s mouth twitched slightly: “Mother, there’s no need to inquire.”

Can you change your mother’s hobby of gossip?

“It’s easy to find out, save me from being curious all the time.”

Wen Chan reluctantly looked at Wen Hao.

Wen smiled: “I’m also a little curious.”

Wen Chan: “…”
