With one sentence, the rooms on both sides fell silent. Qiao Yuyan was stunned. This gentle man really came out of his mouth. Where did he get the news? How could he say it with such certainty?
and……
Qiao Yuyan turned to look at Wen Tingyuan, only to find that his face was extremely gloomy and his knuckles were turning white from clenching the book in his hand.
Qiao Yuyan gently pulled his sleeve, then shook her head, and even smiled slightly.
The man in black who suddenly appeared that night was clearly one of Wen Tingyuan's people. In this case, it was impossible for Wen Tingyuan to believe those Wen Liang rumors outside.
As for Qiao Weisheng, she believed in her father.
Wen Tingyuan took a deep look at Qiao Yuyan, and then turned his attention back to the book in his hand, but the pages were never turned again.
Inside, Qiao Weisheng reacted first, but what was surprising was that his tone was very calm, "The Fourth Young Master is a scholar, and he got a degree not long ago. He should know that there is a certain amount of care in what he says and does."
The Wen Qiao family has known each other for many years, and Wen Qiong and Qiao Weisheng are also familiar with each other.
He knew the temperament of the current Uncle Zhongyong in front of him. No matter what the matter was, he always seemed to be open to discussion. Even if he was really in trouble, he would not tell others apart on the surface.
If he really got emotional, he would be a little angry.
But when he is really angry, he becomes calm again, just like the current situation.
Wen Qiongyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with his youngest son. Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, if he said it in front of Qiao Weisheng, he was either too naive or had no brains.
What's more, now that the Wen family is engaged to the Qiao family, the woman he is talking about is his future aunt. Even at this level, he should not say it on such an occasion.
Wen Qiongyu decided that from now on, he would keep his son by his side and discipline him well. Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter for such a mental city to have trouble in the officialdom. It would be more serious if it affects the family.
His face darkened and he immediately shouted, "You evildoer! Do you know what you said? Do you know what your words mean?!"
Wen Liang was unusually bold this time and was not afraid of his father at all, "Dad, what I'm telling you is the truth. My son has read books about sages since he was a child, so he naturally knows that a gentleman is sincere.
Moreover, my father and Uncle Qiao are elders, and I don’t dare to lie in front of my elders. Although what I just said hurt the face of the eldest daughter of Qiao, it will also embarrass Uncle Qiao.
But since you called me here today, isn’t it just to make things clear? What’s more, we are the only ones here, so why are we afraid that someone will spread the news to the outside world? "
"You still dare to quibble!" Wen Qiongyu was really angry. This confused son didn't even understand the current situation, so he immediately smashed the tea cup at hand.
"Dad, I didn't!"
Wen Liang actually didn't want to conflict with his elders at this time, but when he mentioned Qiao Yuyan, he felt angry.
If it weren't for that woman, he and Yan'er could obviously get married.
What's more, he is clearly a despicable villain who does one thing to his face and another behind his back. Not only does he often offend his Ning'er, but he also has a habit of buying people's hearts.
Now everyone praises her for being virtuous, but tramples Ning'er under their feet.
So after hearing Qiao Weisheng's clearly protective words, he even wanted to expose Qiao Yuyan's ugly side in front of his elders.
Why should that woman have to be defended by these elders after she has become a broken shoe, while his innocent Ning'er can only hide in the dark and feel in ecstasy?
Wen Liang was dominated by the dissatisfaction in his heart. He didn't see Wen Qiongyu's movements for a while, so it was too late to avoid him. His forehead was hit hard and blood started to flow.
Qiao Weisheng looked at their father and son, and his tone became calmer, "I only think that my betrothal of my girl to your family should be valued by your whole family, otherwise my brother would not have prepared it so quickly that day.
Objects.
Looking at it today, it turns out that's not necessarily the case. I don't know the attitude of other people in your house, but just looking at your son's appearance makes me very uneasy."
Wen Liang was so beaten that when he heard Qiao Weisheng's words, his mind suddenly became clear. Did this mean that the engagement was to be annulled?
Ignoring the fact that his forehead was still bleeding rapidly, he immediately went to see the two elders nervously.
Wen Qiongyu was surprised and said quickly: "Brother, please don't worry too much. Who in our family doesn't like your eldest daughter? Our old lady is still talking about when to discuss the wedding date every day!"
Qiao Weisheng did not speak, but stared at Wen Liang with a cold gaze.
Wen Qiongyu stepped forward and kicked Wen Liang, "What are you talking about? I don't know where you heard this crazy talk, but you took it seriously and dared to commit murder. You really
Do you think I dare not send you to see an official?
Could it be that you think you are invincible now that you have passed the Juren exam? Are you not afraid of everyone outside?!"
But Wen Liang frowned and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth. This has nothing to do with me. I just did this for the reputation of our family.
But it is true that Qiao Yuyan is not clear. Since my father and grandmother are willing to accept this marriage, and my sixth uncle does not mind, what do I have to object to? I did a good thing, but now I am being criticized by your elders.
, how to say this?”
"You bastard! Where did you hear the news? Are you going to make your mother angry to death?" Mrs. Wen suddenly burst in, her face full of anxiety.
Seeing the blood on his son's head, he paused for a moment, but immediately reacted and rushed forward to push him and teach him a lesson, "Please explain it clearly!"
She suddenly barged in, and the people in the room were caught off guard. After all, this was Wen Qiongyu's study. After all, Mrs. Wen was the wife of the back house, so it was against the rules to come here like this.
Before she could say anything, Mrs. Wen's voice came from outside again, "I didn't know that there were such capable people among my children and grandchildren. They dared to go behind the back of the elders in the family and send people to jail to silence them. Okay! That's true.
I’m capable!”
Old Mrs. Wen didn't know if she was angry, but her face looked very bad, and she was also using a cane.
Wen Qiong and Mrs. Wen quickly went to help him, but Mrs. Wen pushed him away, "You have raised a good son!"
After saying that, he sat down on the main seat and looked directly at Wen Liang, "Okay! Since you want to say that, then tell me the truth today! I want to hear what you mean by
