When he said this, not to mention other people, even Qiao Yuyan opened her eyes wide in surprise. He wanted to stay here together?
Mrs. Chen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. These women were discussing how to do things together. What would it look like for him, a grown man, to be here?
It's just that Wen Tingyuan is the elder, so she can't say anything, so she can only look at the fourth wife, Wen Shi.
Widow Wen was at home and always kept a low profile. She had only seen Wen Tingyuan once during his evening ceremony with Qiao Yuyan, and she didn't know how to speak at this time.
Qiao Yuyan saw the embarrassment of the others and felt extremely embarrassed. She quickly turned to Wen Tingyuan and said, "There can be many things going on in our inner house, but you still..."
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do. I'm just staying in the West Room. You guys are busy with your business."
Mrs. Wen looked at the west room. The meeting hall they arranged had a total of three main rooms, and three pavilions in front, which could just be used to make tea and pour water for the maids and women to wait.
The four of them were sitting in this room in the middle of the main room. There were some documents and other things in the east room. The west room was relatively spacious and there was nothing.
He opened his mouth like this, obviously he raised it after seeing their concerns, and he didn't mean to disturb them.
As a result, Mrs. Wen couldn't say anything more and quickly arranged for the maids to decorate the west room. However, Wen Tingyuan raised his hand to stop him. He pointed directly at Shi Ye and said, "Just let her come."
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh. This man never wanted any maids to handle his things. There was not a single maid in Tao Ranxuan's study. Even in the main room, his food, clothing and daily necessities were either done by Qiao Yuyan or he did it himself.
.
He doesn't even know these maids and women here right now, isn't it just because he's not used to them?
People in the Wen family are full of things, and even under the special circumstances now, many things are still unavoidable.
For example, Wen Ruzhen has been ill for the past two days and has not recovered even after being treated at home for two days. How and who to call the doctor?
For example, relatives far away in the south of the Yangtze River sent people to deliver things. They traveled by water for more than a month. They never expected to encounter a national mourning on the way. At this time, you can't ask people to go back. They are still at the inn.
How to take it over?
Another example is that now the children at home do not need to go to home school, and they are afraid of causing mischief everywhere, so they are simply sent to the fifth master and fifth wife's yard to take care of them together. Food and supplies are running out.
Another example is that according to the rules of previous years, a group of maids will be sent out to match people in the spring of next year. Although the matter has been delayed, there are still many people involved in various relationships, and everything must be done properly.
Although things have been divided, some things have to be discussed together, so when we are really busy, there is no time for leisure.
Fortunately, relatively speaking, the other three people are relatively easy to get along with. There is some suspicion between Chen and Chu, but Qiao Yuyan and Wen are elders after all.
There were two elders holding them down, but they didn't dare to go too far.
However, Qiao Yuyan and Wenshi have relatively harmonious personalities, and there is no chance that the two wives will bully their younger daughters-in-law.
After the day's busy work, Qiao Yuyan saw through the beauty of Mrs. Wen's arrangement. She originally thought that it was just because there was no one in the house that she pulled herself and Wen out, but it turned out that her old man had already planned it.
As early as the first day, several people had already discussed it. If there were any difficult matters to deal with, the ladies in charge would sort them out and bring them to the meeting hall to solve them face to face.
In the afternoon, the four of them went back to their respective rooms, and the maids and women went around to handle the small matters within their respective areas.
Because Wen Tingyuan was there, Qiao Yuyan did not have lunch with them. At about the same time, the couple returned to Tao Ranxuan together.
It had been like this for three days in a row. Things in the house were gradually coming to grips with it, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the faces of Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen are getting uglier day by day. Even Wen Qiongyu, who has always been very calm in front of everyone, inevitably has a look of displeasure on his face.
As usual, everyone picked up Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen in front of the Chuihua Gate every day, because the old people were really tired, so they just sat in Yi'an Juli for a while, and then went back to let the old people rest.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but feel worried when she looked at them.
"Today, a censor asked about the imperial edict in person. He said that when the late emperor passed away, there were no ministers or relatives or princes present, so the imperial edict should not be approved."
When Qiao Yuyan heard Wen Tingyuan's words, she was immediately frightened, "Who is it? Is he crazy?"
Although the late emperor's death was expected, the palace had always kept it a secret.
It's just that in the past, when the fifth prince was still there and the two princes were fighting, except for a few neutral factions in the court, most of them were fighting for the interests of their own interest groups. Therefore, almost no one mentioned the old emperor's health.
But after the fifth prince died secretly, there were several attacks on the seventh prince in the court. The focus of the attacks was that the seventh prince controlled the harem and did not let anyone visit the old emperor.
It's just that the battle for the crown prince has almost settled. Such attacks are neither painful nor unpleasant to the seventh prince. They are mostly people who want to please the new king and defend him.
But now, the old emperor is dead, and the enthronement ceremony will be held as soon as the mourning period is over. Even if there are doubts in his heart at this time, what can he do? At most, it is just to bury his loyalty to the old emperor.
If you choose to attack at this time, wouldn't you be destroying yourself?
"So... how's it going?"
Qiao Yuyan knew the result when she asked.
Wen Tingyuan glanced at her indifferently, and then sighed softly, "Shoot her on the spot!"
"ah?!"
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but let out a low cry when she heard the words. Then she thought that this matter was related to the court, and she quickly covered her mouth. Such matters were not something she could discuss. If anyone heard her, it would inevitably be another disaster.
But the seventh prince's behavior really shocked her. He shot and killed a court official at the late emperor's funeral!
"Politics has always been so cruel," Wen Tingyuan said softly, "It is not difficult to find a high-sounding reason to kill someone, even if it is in inappropriate circumstances. Fortunately, I was not detained.
The crime of treason, otherwise... the whole family will suffer."
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but shudder, and she immediately understood why Wen Qiongyu's face was so ugly.
It was just a matter of words, but blood splattered on the spot.
When she was shocked, Wen Tingyuan suddenly told her another thing.
