Under Liu'er's puzzled gaze, Yuan Xueqing softly uttered one word, "Money."
After a while, she whispered again: "If there is one more thing to add, it would be 'power', but this thing is too far away for women. At the moment, I can only grasp the previous one."
Liu'er was silent for a long time, but in the end she didn't say anything and went in silently to make the bed.
When Yuan Xueqing came back to her senses, she remembered that she had only eaten half of her dinner, but now she had no appetite at all, so she was still sitting at the table thinking about things.
Liu'er turned around and looked at her master's emaciated figure in front of the lamp, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in her heart.
They had only been married for a few months, and the master seemed to have become a completely different person. He looked like he had aged several years.
Where can any newlywed be in such a situation? This Wen family...
I really should have thought about it carefully at the beginning, but now...
Thinking of his wife, who still didn't know where she was, Liu'er couldn't help but worry about Yuan Xueqing. How could she be able to withstand so many things that were placed on her alone?
Yuan Xueqing let out a long sigh, then washed up as usual, and took Qiao Yuning out early the next morning. She walked around the street twice before looking for the address given by Chang Lin.
When Qiao Yuning looked at the yard outside, she just wanted to laugh. This yard was so similar to the one she lived in back then.
Liu'er stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a girl came over and opened the door a crack. She timidly poked her face out and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Liu'er was angry in her heart, but thinking about what her grandma said, she suppressed her anger and managed to remain polite and said: "Miss Su lives here? Our grandma came to see her."
When the maid heard this, she frowned and her expression became more alert, "Who are you? What kind of grandma does our girl not recognize?!"
"Since we can call your master's name, how can we admit to the wrong door?!" Liu'er almost couldn't hold back her temper. In the end, she bit her lip and said in a lowered voice, "Just go inside.
Just tell me that the fourth grandma of the Wen family is here to visit Miss Su!"
The girl's expression suddenly changed, and without saying a word, she closed the door with a bang.
Liu'er suddenly became furious and hurriedly walked to the carriage.
Yuan Xueqing and Qiao Yuning had already seen what was going on here in the carriage, and there was no need for Liu'er to come over and repeat it. So the two of them looked at each other, and neither of them thought of the possibility of being turned away directly.
We can't let these two women just wait here day after day, right?
Fortunately, after a while, the door opened.
This time, a young and beautiful woman came out directly. She was wearing a light blue long coat and her hair was styled like that of an unmarried girl. Just standing there made people fall in love with her.
It is a temperament immersed in a scholarly family, and his words and actions seem to be infected with a bit of bookishness.
Sure enough, he was Wen Liang's type. Qiao Yuning laughed in her heart. This person seemed to only like girls with this kind of temperament.
"I didn't know grandma was here, but I didn't come out to greet her. I asked grandma to make atonement." The woman saluted the carriage. "The place is simple and we can't entertain you well. I hope grandma won't dislike it and come in to have a rest for now!"
Yuan Xueqing actually saluted and said hello in a decent manner. Yuan Xueqing glanced at Qiao Yuning, and then she held Liu'er's hand and got out of the carriage. Qiao Yuning followed her and got off the carriage.
The woman obviously didn't expect that there was someone behind Yuan Xueqing. She took another look at Qiao Yuning's dress and bowed again, "It turns out that Sister Qiao is here too."
Qiao Yuning glanced at her critically, and without saying a word, she followed Yuan Xueqing in.
This is how some people are, even if it is something they don't want, when others see it as rare, they suddenly feel treasured again.
This is the case for Qiao Yuning. In fact, in her heart, Wen Liang has long been nothing and is not included in her future plans.
She really did not like this man anymore, but now she saw that Wen Liang had found a young and beautiful woman as his mistress, and she felt very dissatisfied.
After all, if a man is looking for a woman outside, he probably thinks that the woman at home is not good, which inevitably makes her want to compare.
So when he saw Su Jinyan, he naturally didn't have a good look on his face.
Su Jinyan was not angry, however, and told her servants to tie the carriage to the hitching posts, and then followed them in.
Facing Yuan Xueqing's looking around and the disdain on Qiao Yuning's face, Su Jinyan ushered them into the living room with a decent smile, then ordered the maid to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you two
My sister will come over. Nothing is prepared here. I bought snacks in the alley in the morning. If you don’t mind, just use some of them!"
Only then did Yuan Xueqing take a serious look at Su Jinyan's appearance. She was indeed an iconic beauty.
It would be right if Wen Liang liked this type of woman, but it is not entirely right.
The woman in front of her does indeed belong to the weak group, but she is very different from Qiao Yuning. Su Jinyan looks weak, but her eyebrows are somewhat generous. It seems that her weakness only comes from her body, not her soul.
And the spirit is strong.
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. After all, if she was truly a self-reliant woman, how could she be someone else's concubine?
"What's your name? How long have you been following our master?"
Su Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face.
Qiao Yuning had some narrow thoughts and looked at her beautiful face with interest.
What was a pity for her was that such a look only stayed on Su Jinyan's face for a short while, and then she said calmly and generously: "My little girl, Su Jinyan, was in trouble at home, so she fled to the capital. Thanks to Brother Wen, she rescued her.
Only then did we have a place to stay.”
"What did you say your name was?" Yuan Xueqing squinted her eyes, as if she didn't hear clearly.
Su Jinyan smiled faintly and replied again in a very good-tempered manner: "Su Jinyan, the beautiful brocade and the beautiful color were chosen by my father."
Yuan Xueqing immediately frowned and involuntarily connected it with another thing.
Qiao Yuning saw that Yuan Xueqing was deep in thought, so she grabbed the conversation and said, "How long have you been following our Fourth Master?"
Before Su Jinyan could reply, a voice suddenly came from the yard, "Ayan?"
