Mrs. Wen's words directly determined Wen Liang's character. No matter what, he did something wrong.
Wen Qiongyu said on the spot that Wen Liang would be severely disciplined and would first be taken to the ancestral hall to serve him, and then imprisoned for half a year.
This sounds like it's not a big deal, but in half a year, next year's spring has just been missed.
The real punishment for Wen Qiong is not to ask him to take part in next year's examination, which is a bit harsh.
Although Qiao Weisheng did not say that such a punishment was good, he did not open his mouth to persuade him, and his attitude was very obvious.
As for what happened today, as the eldest wife of the Wen family said, there were no outsiders. If this matter was revealed, the Qiao family would lose face, and the Wen family would not be much better off.
He tacitly revealed the matter completely.
For Qiao Weisheng, this was a relief.
Even though the two families seemed very satisfied with the marriage, Qiao Yuyan did not return home that night.
If a girl's family is promised a marriage for such a reason, and there are such unspeakable things, when she comes to the Wen family in the future, she will probably be criticized by others.
As for what happened today, Qiao Weisheng could be sure that neither the masters nor the servants would dare to reveal the matter again.
It can also be regarded as clearing the way for my daughter to join her husband's family in the future.
After Wen Qiong and someone took Wen Liang to the ancestral hall, they immediately invited Qiao Weisheng to have a meal at Wen's house as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Yuyan claimed that she had something to do at home and left quietly through the back door.
Mrs. Wen kept a polite smile on her face, sent her husband and Qiao Weisheng to another courtyard, and then came to the upper room with a cold face.
Old Mrs. Wen's face was full of evil spirits. When she saw her daughter-in-law coming, she didn't care that there were servants present, so she picked up the Ruyi she had and smashed it over.
The Ruyi carved from Hotan Jasper was immediately smashed to pieces, and Mrs. Wen quickly knelt down.
"Didn't you say that Shiro has no contact with the goblin from the Qiao family now? Didn't you say that you had already separated from him?"
Mrs. Wen also felt aggrieved. After the engagement between Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan was finalized that day, she told her son about it and made it clear to him that there was absolutely no possibility of him and Qiao Yuning.
She never expected that her son would go to Qiao Yuning and cause such a thing.
Now her mother-in-law is angry with her, and she can't even say a word in defense. What can she say?
Did the old lady say something wrong again?
"Old lady, please don't be angry again. It's not worth it to break your body because of that worthless child. No matter what, Shiro's marriage will have to go through me and his father. No matter what happens to that little witch from the Qiao family,
Will come to our house.
It’s not us who will have to worry about it in the future, but now we have to deal with it a little bit because of the relationship between relatives.”
"It will be your fiftieth birthday in half a month. I originally wanted to organize a good event for you. Now it seems that I might as well make the event bigger and invite all the imperial ladies from the capital."
Mrs. Wen's sudden change of topic made Mrs. Wen unable to turn around for a moment, so she had to look at her mother-in-law in confusion.
"Although the two families are engaged, I think there are probably not a few people outside who are doubtful. Let's just take advantage of your birthday to make a show in front of others and reassure the Qiao family."
This was the tone of discussion. Mrs. Wen's heart dropped to her stomach. Naturally, she was totally willing and nodded quickly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it some more, and then Mrs. Wen came out from the old lady's place.
"Go and call the servants who follow Shiro every day to my yard. I still have to ask clearly how their master behaves on weekdays."
"yes!"
Mrs. Wen was obviously very anxious to find out how her son got in touch with Qiao Yuning.
At this time, Qiao Yuning was also worried about why there was no news about their family at this time.
She was sitting in a private room of a teahouse. Ever since she bribed Yuehua'an's sister-in-law, she had often rested here.
It was close to the Wen family, and she and Wen Liang would occasionally meet here.
Last night, she accidentally overheard the conversation between Qiao Weisheng and Qiao Yuyan, and when she knew that Jingzhao Mansion had found out that Wen Liang had killed him, she almost broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
Immediately, he ordered people to pass the news to Wen Liang before the curfew, so that he could be prepared today.
Calculating the time, Qiao Weisheng has been in there for most of the day. Logically speaking, he should have asked all the questions.
Shouldn't you go out angrily and go home now?
She didn't believe it anymore. Can the Wen family really accept Qiao Yuyan after knowing that Qiao Yuyan was no longer innocent?
Then would Wen Tingyuan want such a wife?
Qiao Yuyan wants to steal her marriage, so he should see if he is worthy.
She was not worried at all that Wen Liang would confess her. During this period of time, she and Wen Liang had a deep relationship. When it came to important matters, Wen Liang would do his best to protect him.
Moreover, what she said at the time was that those five people had specially guarded her on her way back to the city from Yuehua Temple, wanting to be scornful of her. That's why she suspected that Qiao Yuyan had been bullied by those five people.
Therefore, in order to protect her reputation, Wen Liang will definitely not say anything detrimental to her.
It's just that this person hasn't come out, which is really worrying.
Seeing that today is the last day to go to Yuehua Temple, she will be free from tomorrow. If she can pull Qiao Yuyan down today, it will be considered as her revenge for so many days!
It wasn't until mid-afternoon that Qiao Yuning saw her father leaving the Wen family's door with Wen Qiong personally seeing him off.
The two of them looked no different from usual, nor did they seem to have had a serious conflict.
The weirdest thing was that she could tell that Qiao Weisheng had been drinking.
Speaking of such things, it is really strange that my father can still drink wine at the Wen family.
Qiao Yuning didn't dare to delay any longer, so she calculated the time and hurried home.
Of course, the first thing I did when I got home was to visit Mrs. Xu in the Furong Pavilion. I didn't expect that Qiao Weisheng was here instead of studying.
Qiao Yuning had some expectations in her heart and secretly observed her father's expression, but unfortunately she still didn't see any clues.
"What's wrong Ning'er?"
"It's nothing, I just think that starting from tomorrow, Ning'er will be able to stay with her mother at home all day long, and I feel very happy."
When she said this, she seemed to remind Qiao Weisheng, "Oh, Sister Ning doesn't have to go to Yuehua Nunnery from tomorrow? That's just right. Your eldest aunt of the Wen family will have her fiftieth birthday this year. She is afraid that the weather will be bad on that day.
, we decided to hold a birthday party in a few days, and you can go there just in time."
