"Ahem." Jiang Wang coughed lightly: "Miss Wen is right. Brother Yan and I do have some friendship. Well, let me be fair..."
Wen Tinglan interrupted him gently: "Generally, the words that follow this sentence are not very fair."
Jiang Wang was defeated.
"That's too much!" Yan Fu stood up angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was going out to seek revenge on the spot: "Who is talking too much in your ears? Tell me, and I will teach those people a lesson!"
Wen Tinglan glanced at him: "Sit down and talk."
Yan Fu sat down honestly.
Then she asked: "Why don't you ask what they said?"
"What else can I say?" Yan Fu seemed to be filled with anger, and he was particularly indignant: "I'm just jealous of your beauty, dignity, grace and virtuousness! Ting Lan, don't worry about it. An excellent girl like you is the most attractive.
The long-tongued woman is jealous!"
Wen Tinglan did not accept this idea at the moment, and only said: "Oh, I didn't hear what you said. I only said that some people say that they want to seize love with a knife, bully others with power, and are shameless."
She still had a gentle smile on her face.
But Yan Fu could no longer remain vague.
Jiang Wang sat aside, his limbs also very stiff.
He knew the ins and outs of Yan Fu's marriage.
It was after the Yan family broke off their engagement with the Liu family that they got married to Wen Yanyu, a court official.
In the whole incident, Yan Fu could not help himself.
But no one can say out of conscience that the woman named Liu Xiuzhang of the Liu family was not harmed. It was precisely she who was the most innocent and the most injured.
It's normal for someone to fight for Liu Xiuzhang. Her close friend Jiang Wuyou chased Yan Fu and beat her up several times.
But when some words fell into Wen Tinglan's ears, it was obviously impossible to hear them well.
Yan Fu said: "Tinglan, this matter..."
"Heh." Wen Tinglan seemed not to have heard anything. She chuckled to herself, then looked at Yan Fu and asked, "Young Master Yan, I don't deny that I'm attracted to you. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you like someone. But tell me.
Look, did I force you to come to your door and ask for marriage?"
There was no grievance visible in her gentle eyes.
But her gentle smile, for some reason, makes people feel sad.
Yes, Liu Xiuzhang is very pitiful.
But what did Wen Tinglan do wrong in this marriage?
Former Prime Minister Yan Ping got married to Wen Yanyu, a court official. This was a major event that attracted the attention of both the government and the public.
Yan Fu has no independent power in this matter, he can only implement the interests of the Yan family.
Wen Tinglan should have been lucky because she could marry the person she loved. But gossip is like a knife, and gossip is like a cone. It cuts into the body and pierces the heart, causing pain and pain.
Why can't Jiang Wang persuade him? Because he has no way to talk, and gossip is nothing.
Gossip can hurt people, but it is not that easy to deal with.
He persuaded Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou overseas, but it was impossible to silence everyone.
"Tinglan."
Yan Fu did not evade anymore, and looked at Wen Tinglan seriously: "I was the one who went to the Wen family to ask for marriage, and it was me who went to the Liu family to cancel the engagement. I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Wen Tinglan looked away, stood up, and only bowed to Jiang Wang: "Mr. Jiang, Tinglan was rude today and made you laugh. I will apologize to you another day."
"I dare not say that." Jiang Wang quickly stood up.
Wen Tinglan stopped talking or looked at Yan Fu, turned around and left.
Yan Fu was still sitting in the top position, motionless.
Jiang Wang sighed: "Are you okay?"
Yan Fu raised his hand: "It's okay."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Wang asked.
"I'll write a post for you right away. Don't worry, there will be no problem with the Yellow River Meeting." Yan Fu answered the question.
"Well, okay." Jiang Wang was a little worried, but that was all he could say.
Yan Fu calmed down for a moment, pushed the tea cup, took out the paper and pen, and spread it on the table next to him.
The paper was made of fine snow-reflecting paper, so it was named after the mist reflected in the snow. The writing brush was filled with precious light, and when he started writing, his movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, comfortable and natural.
There is something clearly on his mind, but his demeanor is still impeccable.
After writing, I knocked on the table with my fingers, and a servant walked in.
Yan Fu handed over the written paper and ordered: "Give it to Mr. Wu, he knows what to do."
The servant took the paper, folded it carefully, and went out without saying a word.
Yan Fu put his hand on his forehead and was lost in thought.
After settling the matter that he had promised Jiang Wang before, he fell back into sadness.
Jiang Wang sat aside and accompanied him silently. He really couldn't think of any good way to deal with such a thing.
I don't know how long it took, but Yan Fu finally figured it out. He raised his head and saw Jiang Wang.
Still wearing that gentle look, he asked in a tone of voice: "How about accompanying me to Fufeng County?"
Before Jiang Wang could say anything, he added, "I don't dare to go alone."
The legitimate son of the Yan family in Bei County and the grandson of the former Prime Minister Yan Ping, what could be so terrifying within the scope of Qi State?
What can make a person like Yan Fu say "dare not" is definitely not power or money.
In Fufeng County, there was a person who made him feel guilty.
Jiang Wang just said: "Let's go."
It happened to be the right time, and at such a time, he naturally wanted to accompany him.
Moreover, during this trip... the one thing that was truly difficult to face was Yan Fu himself. No matter how good his relationship with Yan Fu was, he could only be a bystander in this matter.
From Linzi to Fufeng County in the western part of the empire, we have to cross several counties in between.
Jiang Wang didn't have time to experience the Yan family's luxurious carriage this time, because Yan Fu pulled him directly and flew there.
Jichuan, Qiuyang, Yinqiao, Baolong, Changming and Fufeng flew directly over Qijing and drew a straight line.
Jiang Wang's current identity alone is enough to fly directly to most places in Qi without being blocked. Not to mention Yan Fu's background.
Fufeng County borders Donglai to the north, Qingtou to the south, and Pingxi to the west. It is a relatively prosperous county.
Although the Liu family has declined at the level of the entire Qi State, it is still an undoubted prominent family in the local area.
Yan Fu did not come directly to the door.
Now that the engagement between the Yan family and the Liu family has been terminated, it would be rude to come to the house rashly.
Although Yan Fu was eager to settle the matter as soon as possible, he still handed over the greeting card and asked for the host's consent.
And he and Jiang Wang randomly found a restaurant to sit down and wait for the news.
Yan Fu didn't stop talking along the way. He talked about the legend of Baolong County for a while, the history of Fufeng County for a while, and evaluated the political abilities of the previous governors of Fufeng County. But after arriving at Fufeng County, he became quiet.
Jiang Wang could feel his nervousness, but there was really nothing he could do and he could only drink with him.
What neither of them expected was that the head of the Liu family came over in person...
The two of them were drinking one cup after another, when suddenly several people entered the restaurant and negotiated with the store owner. After a while, all other customers in the restaurant had left.
Then several teams of well-dressed guards began to set up defenses from outside the restaurant, guarding various key positions.
That posture was like that of a prince on a patrol.
When the middle-aged man with a somewhat dashing face walked into the restaurant and Yan Fu quickly stood up to greet him, Jiang Wang realized that this man was actually the current head of the Liu family...
