No one knows what Wen Tingyuan and Wen Qiong conspired in the study at the end.
All I know is that the lights in Wen Qiong's study were on all night, and in the early morning someone saw him walking out with Mr. Six, and then went to Mrs. Wen's Yi'anju.
He came back when Qiao Yuyan was having breakfast.
When she woke up early in the morning and found that he was not there, Qiao Yuyan actually knew something about it, but she just didn't know.
Wen Tingyuan has his own affairs, and obviously, his affairs are not trivial matters, let alone a filial piety that can be yelled about.
If she asked him about it, it would embarrass him and he would have to explain it to her or cover it up carefully.
Qiao Yuyan smiled and asked someone to bring bowls and chopsticks over, "This japonica rice porridge was cooked well this morning. I had someone make Jiangzhou's sour pickled Jerusalem artichokes some time ago. It goes well with the porridge. Come and try it."
Wen Tingyuan just looked at her with a smile, and as she thought, he sat down and had breakfast with her.
"Would you like to go with me to pay my respects to the old lady?"
After breakfast, Qixi brought a cloak and tied it carefully on Qiao Yuyan. Qiao Yuyan stood in front of the long mirror, looked at it, smiled and turned to ask the man who came after him.
Wen Tingyuan reached out and waved away the others, then walked to the mirror.
Qiao Yuyan knew that he had something to say, so she turned around and looked at him seriously.
"Yan'er, if in the future you find out that I have been hiding something from you, will you be angry?"
He spoke seriously, and Qiao Yuyan also suppressed her smile, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then shook her head gently, "No."
"So sure?"
"I think if you keep hiding it from me, it means that either there is no need to tell me this matter, or it is not good to tell me.
I believe that you will never do anything to hurt me, so why do I have to understand everything clearly? And you naturally have your own affairs when you are walking outside. I am a woman, after all, I don’t have enough vision.
It's okay if you don't know, but if you know, you have some different thoughts in your mind, wouldn't it affect your judgment?"
Wen Tingyuan looked into her eyes and felt that Qiao Yuyan already knew something.
But when she said that, he couldn't say any more.
Qiao Yuyan came over with a smile and smoothed the wrinkles on his collar, "Are you going out again?"
Wen Zingyuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Yuyan said softly: "Since I married you, I can't just think about a bright future. Although we are not a real couple, I still understand the principle of sharing weal and woe.
Just go. Although I can't help you much, I will never hold you back. Until the situation stabilizes, I will stay at the Wen family and won't go anywhere. You don't have to worry about me."
Wen Tingyuan took her hand that was on his collar and gently rubbed it twice. After a long while, he said, "I'll leave Cheng Feng to you."
"good."
Wen Tingyuan left quietly, as usual. He left the main room and went directly to the study room in the east courtyard, seemingly just to read a book.
Qiao Yuyan also went to Yi'an Juli to pay his respects as usual.
When Qiao Yuyan arrived, she clearly felt that everyone's eyes were on her.
Zhou opened her mouth several times to speak, but looking at Old Mrs. Wen sitting above her, she finally said nothing, but she could not hide the probing look in her eyes.
Even Mrs. Wen, who had always followed Mrs. Wen's orders, frequently looked at Qiao Yuyan.
But Mrs. Wen, who was sitting at the top, kept everything as usual and asked Qiao Yuyan if she had been frightened at Daxiangguo Temple.
"In the recent troubled times, the saint has not yet recovered from his illness. As a family that has received the emperor's favor, we should pray for the saint at home.
From today on, if you have nothing to do, don’t go out and wander around. Instead, stay at home and copy more scriptures, so that you can meditate and cultivate your character.”
Mrs. Wen quickly responded, "My daughter-in-law sent a few scriptures to each room early this morning. She just hopes that we can do our part for the saint at home."
Whether Mrs. Wen has sent her menstrual period or not is just a way of saying it means complying with Mrs. Wen's wishes. It also means that from today on, the inner house of the Wen Mansion will strictly restrict the women in the inner house from going out.
Even those who didn't go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion knew what happened last night, and everyone was still frightened. Naturally, they had no objections to this arrangement.
Keeping yourself safe is naturally more important than going out.
"By the way, Princess Jiahe has a rash?" Mrs. Wen suddenly turned to ask Mrs. Wen.
But Mrs. Wen was a little confused. When she met Mrs. Wen's eyes, she suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, you sent the maid over this morning to tell me."
Qiao Yuyan's heart moved and she secretly looked at Mrs. Wen's expression with her eyes.
I saw her telling Mrs. Wen very seriously, "This matter is not a trivial matter. Please post a post immediately and ask a doctor to come over and take a look to see if it's okay."
From what the maid said in the morning, I'm afraid it's measles. If measles really occurs, it will be very troublesome. This thing is very easily passed on from person to person, so we must not take it lightly."
Qiao Yuyan suddenly understood that once the fifth prince died, the seventh prince's family became the dominant one, and the succession to the throne was already a certainty.
But the fifth prince will die soon after his death. Before the death of the fifth prince, Princess Jiahe, who had the most fun dancing around, was probably targeted by the seventh prince's party.
No one can say what will happen while the Holy One is ill.
If Jiahe does something eye-catching again, it will directly bring trouble to the Wen family.
What else did Ms. Zhou want to ask, but Old Mrs. Wen suddenly turned cold and glanced across everyone's faces, "Of course officials will investigate the matter at Daxiangguo Temple. Until the investigation results come out, you all should take care of yourselves."
tongue.
It’s best to have a sense of what should be discussed and what should not be talked about randomly, so as not to accidentally drag all of us down!"
Everyone dared to say anything and quickly expressed their opinions.
Mrs. Wen even stood up and assured, "Don't worry, old lady, from today on, my wife will strictly control the people under her, and will never let a word be spread in our family."
"You have always done things safely, and I can trust you. These things must be done properly!"
Then Mrs. Wen dismissed everyone on the grounds of mental weakness. Mrs. Zhou wanted to stay and fulfill her filial piety but was rejected.
A large group of people came out in a mighty manner, and Qiao Yuyan could see that the probing looks on everyone's faces that she had just seen when they entered were now tightly hidden.
Who dares to disobey the order Mrs. Wen just gave.
After walking into her own yard, Pinlan asked softly: "Madam, what should we do now? In the Grand Xiangguo Temple, it is clear that Princess Jiahe wants your life."
Qiao Yuyan glanced at her and said, "Come into the room and talk."
