The carriage immediately became very quiet, and only the hustle and bustle of the street outside could be heard coming in through the gaps in the carriage.
The two sisters didn't look at each other, their eyes fell on the cushions of each other's seats, and the air was filled with embarrassment and surprise.
No matter how rich her imagination Qiao Yuyan was, she never imagined that things would turn out to be like this.
That Zhang Lun, he actually... actually...
Qiao Yuyan, who has lived two lives, has not experienced anything between men and women. As a married woman in her previous life, topics related to this matter will not be avoided by her.
So compared to her cousin, she is much more accepting of that aspect, but even so, she has never heard of humans and animals...
"you……"
The two people spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
It was Qiao Yuyan who spoke first, "This matter has nothing to do with us. You... just pretend you don't know. Even if you meet the girl who is also present today, don't mention what happened today."
"I'm not stupid." Qiao Yurong replied with a blushing face. After saying this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
After a while, he still couldn't help but say, "The Tingtao Courtyard is right next to the lotus pond. You...you went there to pick lotus pods today. Fortunately, you didn't let him meet you, otherwise who knows what would have happened."
Woolen cloth!"
Qiao Yuyan was also thinking about this matter.
Today she met Zhang Lun. Although this man was very lustful, she could also see that he was not unclear at the time. In such a state, why would he do such a thing? The conclusion was ready to come out.
But she was a little curious, who came up with this idea?
Neither King An, Song Jingshu, nor Wen Tingyuan seemed to be the ones who could come up with such an idea.
When she thinks of Wen Tingyuan, Qiao Yuyan thinks of Mr. Wen Liu.
Her mind began to feel like a mess of weeds. She forced herself not to think about it and instead turned to today's events.
"By the way," she suddenly remembered, "do you know that Miss Yuan?"
"Eh? Haven't you seen it before?" Qiao Yurong asked doubtfully, "Have you forgotten?"
Qiao Yuyan's expression said everything, Qiao Yurong had no choice but to say: "That day at the Qushuiliu Shang Banquet, two..."
After saying that, she paused and continued angrily: "Qiao Yuning introduced me to you!"
When she said this, Qiao Yuyan remembered why she felt familiar to Miss Yuan when she saw her. But wasn't this person the one who played particularly well with Qiao Yuning? Her name seemed to be Yuan Xueqing?
She had met Yuan Xueqing several times in her previous life, and she even came to Qiao's house as a guest.
The two of them had always been good friends in the previous life, but later she seemed to have married a member of a noble family in Beijing, and they still kept in touch.
If she was on good terms with Qiao Yuning, could it be that she had lured Zhang Lun here in order to avenge Qiao Yuning?
When I get back, I still need to ask someone to go out and inquire to see if the Yuan family has any relationship with Zhang Lun. If so...
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, which meant that she had really underestimated the abilities of her concubine.
By the time she got home, Mrs. Xu probably knew what happened, as her hand holding Qiao Yuyan was trembling a little.
As soon as she arrived at her room, Ms. Xu sent everyone away and asked in surprise and fear, "Tell me the truth, have you...have you met Zhang Lun?"
Qiao Yuyan quickly poured her a glass of water, "No! I just heard Rong'er talk about today's events, and I felt the same fear as you, mother. Fortunately, I took the wrong road and didn't go there at all."
Then he quickly said: "I accidentally stepped into the mud puddle, my skirt and shoes were all ruined, and my feet were injured. Uncle Wen discovered me and carried me to the yard of Third Young Master Song."
.I really couldn’t go out in that state, so Third Young Master Song asked someone to find these clothes, shoes and socks for me, and also asked someone to pick a lotus pod for me, and then he covered up the matter."
When Mrs. Xu heard what she said, she breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good. This is really unheard of."
After saying this, she murmured, "It's really unheard of."
Qiao Yuyan took this opportunity and asked quickly: "Mom, Uncle Wen...How can Uncle Wen be the sixth master of the Wen family? And why don't you let people know that we know him?"
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter. From the letter from Jiangzhou, she knew that her daughter had a very good relationship with Wen Tingyuan, and she was afraid that she couldn't turn around now!
"Hey, actually I don't know much about your Uncle Wen's situation. Your grandmother wrote to me about everything, and she told me because you have a good relationship with him."
Xu thought for a moment and then said: "I only knew that he was an illegitimate son. His father was a high official in the court and his biological mother was long gone. Later, his father passed away and he was tortured by his aunt and almost died. He escaped from death several times.
, and later secretly hid it in our house."
"ah?"
Of course, Qiao Yuyan knew that Mr. Wen Liu was not the biological son of the old lady of the Wen family, but she only heard that he was born to the concubine of the old lady of the Wen family. That aunt passed away very early. He had been studying abroad and did not grow up in the Wen family.
"I don't know the specific situation, but you also know that the Xu family is a merchant family after all. The so-called people do not fight with the officials. Your grandmother has told me long ago not to let anyone know about this matter. It offends a Wen family.
, I’m afraid our family won’t be able to do business in Beijing.”
Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "I just learned that Zingyuan is a child of the Wen family today. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered what the old lady said to me before, and it turned out to be true."
"What words?"
"Don't you wonder in your heart why Mrs. Wen is so disgusted with an illegitimate child, and even wants to kill them all? Speaking of which, the Wen family does not have children born from concubines."
Qiao Yuyan nodded lightly. Just now when Mrs. Xu mentioned that Wen Tingyuan was an illegitimate son, she felt a little hard to accept it. When she heard that he was being hunted by his aunt, she felt very uncomfortable.
How could Uncle Wen have such a life experience?
But he was always so calm, and sometimes she even felt that there was no sparkle in him.
"I heard that in the past, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen had a very harmonious relationship. They were a couple that was envied by everyone in Beijing. Mrs. Wen had the final say in the whole back house. But suddenly one day, a woman brought her to the house.
A child came to the door and said it was the second room where Mr. Wen was staying."
Perhaps as a woman, Mrs. Xu could sympathize with such a situation, and her face showed a bit of sadness, "Old Mrs. Wen trusted Old Mrs. Wen very much, and immediately felt that she was being blackmailed, so she drove him away directly.
, Who would have thought that when Mr. Wen came back and learned about this, he became furious, chased her out personally, and built a house outside to accommodate the mother and son. "
"It's...Uncle Wen and his mother?"
Mrs. Xu thought for a while and nodded, "It seems like that's it. This incident happened too suddenly, and it was probably hard for Mrs. Wen to accept it. She had a big fight with Mr. Wen, who has always had a good temper.
He was so insistent on this matter that the couple almost turned against each other because of it." This chapter has been completed!
