Chapter 11 What if

west yard.

Wan Yan sat in the courtyard, frequently looking towards the side room.

The conversation between the adults and the two wives just now lasted for a stick of incense, and the two wives answered very vaguely about what to ask later.

Su Jizhi had no choice but to let the yamen servant take the three of them back to the west courtyard to rest.

Wan Yan secretly delighted.

The adults did not let her go back to the church.

What she didn't know was that the reason why the lord let her stay in the government office was because Miao Hong hadn't come back yet.

Wan Yan stretched out her head.

After returning to the yard, the two ladies entered the room and closed the door, discussing something in a low voice.

After a while, the door opened and the third lady came out.

Wan Yan met her gaze.

"Girl, thank you for sending us back. I don't know what the girl is called?"

"Xue Wanyan."

"Oh, Miss Xue." The third lady approached Wan Yan and whispered, "My sister and I want to ask Miss, how long are we going to stay here?"

Wan Yan was taken aback, the third lady was so polite, she probably regarded her as someone from the government office.

"Well...it depends on Master Su's arrangement."

The third lady sneered: "Yes, what the girl said is right. From Master Su's attitude towards us just now, is he happy or angry?"

"It should be said to be normal. Why is Master Su happy? And why is he unhappy?"

Wan Yan answered very decently, and the third lady slowly sat opposite Wan Yan and sighed.

"The eldest lady brought us to Tongshan Mansion, and I'm afraid she didn't want us to go back. Our sisters discussed it. If Lord Su can let us go, we want to leave Wei's mansion and never see the eldest lady again."

Wan Yan didn't expect the two of them to have such a plan.

"Didn't you enter the Wei Mansion because you were interested in Vice General Wei?"

That's how the topic opened.

The third lady lowered her head, her eyes full of sadness: "How should I say this, compared to my husband, the master is of course more powerful. After the accident of the husband, my life is difficult, and fortunately the master takes care of me."

Wan Yan has a deep understanding that when you are at a loss, life-saving straws are more important than anything else.

Rather than saying that Wan Yan sympathized with the third lady, it would be better to say that she sympathized with herself.

Compared with the two ladies, how stronger is she?
At least she still has freedom and can wander in the vast world. What does she have?
Still facing being sold!
Thinking of this, Wan Yan's eyes dimmed, and she felt lonely all over her body.

"Girl, can you talk to Lord Su? We didn't hurt the master, can you let us go?"

The second wife also came out and begged Wan Yan.

At this time, Wan Yan couldn't say that she was a fake, she couldn't help herself like the two wives.

Not to mention, she is still a suspect in killing Wei Zhengwu.

"I heard from you just now that your husband was once a member of the Weiyuan Army and participated in the suppression of bandits?"

The two women regarded Wan Yan as the steward of the Yamen in Tongshan Mansion. Although they were dressed strangely, judging from the way Mr. Su looked at her, the two of them were very familiar.

The second lady still wanted Wan Yan to speak well for them, so she answered Wan Yan's questions seriously.

"Yes, the girl is not very old, you also know about the suppression of bandits?"

Wan Yan doesn't know.

It's just because Su Jizhi has been asking questions about this.

But Su Ji's aura was too strong, Wan Yan felt that the two ladies were very afraid of him, and the adults didn't get the answer he wanted.

Wan Yan had noticed carefully just now, every time the two ladies finished answering the questions, the adults' faces became more serious, the corners of their lips were tightly pursed, looking very displeased.

Wan Yan thinks differently from adults.

She will follow his direction and use her own way to make the two ladies open their hearts, what if there is something to gain?

She is a person who tries her best to stay by Mr. Su's side.

"Just now, my lord has been asking about your husband's situation before the accident. Now that Mr. Su is not here, can you tell me?"

The second wife was puzzled: "Girl, we have said everything we need to say, and we have nothing to hide."

Wan Yan leaned on her chin, and under the banyan tree in the west courtyard, three people sat around the stone table.

The wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the light and shadow intertwine on the three people, and there is silence for a while.

"Look, the sunshine in early summer is so good. It was the same when you first married into Wei's mansion? Are you happy?"

The little girl's voice was sweet, and there was a moment of joy on the third lady's face.

"Well, although I was carried into the Wei mansion through a side gate, I couldn't hold my head up in front of the servants, but the master treated me pretty well in the first few months."

"Do you miss your husband?"

The third lady lowered her eyebrows, a little ashamed: "Now I feel more and more that the decision to marry the master is wrong."

"Why do you say that?"

"It feels like the master was able to marry us by accident. The master doesn't like us. The novelty at the beginning has passed, and the master has almost never appeared again. We have never seen him in the mansion."

"Does your husband treat you well?"

The third lady lowered her head, no one had talked to her like this for a long time, she even forgot what the old days were like, not because she didn't want to think about it, but trying to forget it.

"My husband is very capable. After suppressing the bandits and returning to Beijing, I got some money. Our family life is much better than before. We have never had children. We wanted to have a child, but something happened to my husband."

"After your husband's accident, Vice General Wei married you?"

"That's it."

Wan Yan understands the third lady's mood very well, doesn't she do the same?I want to cling to the adults and leave Jiaofangsi.

"Master Su asked just now, after your husband's accident, it is said that there should not be happy events, so why did you get married?"

The third lady covered her eyes: "That's not true. My husband is going to deliver things to Linfu for the master. Although the master is a deputy general, he has a close relationship with the prince. He is the prince's right-hand man. He was doing things for the prince that time."

Wan Yan was taken aback, and unexpectedly got involved with the royal family again.

The third lady had a sneer on her face: "Looking at myself now, it's a joke. Why did I make such a choice?"

Wan Yan thinks the same way, if she has the ability to live, why should she wrong herself and cling to a man?
"Vice General Wei married you, what did he say?"

"At first I thought it was...feelings, but now that I think about it, I'm so stupid. How could the master, who is a second-rank military general in the imperial court, fall in love with a little widow?"

After the third lady finished speaking, the second lady also lowered her head.

"That's why girl, we want to take this opportunity to leave Wei's mansion. The eldest lady doesn't like us, she will kick us out sooner or later, why are we still staying in the mansion?"

Wan Yan smiled, and asked in a different way: "I heard what you said just now, and your husband is in the hands of Vice-General Wei, so Vice-General Wei should have a high regard for you."

The two wives also couldn't figure it out, and Xue Wanyan couldn't figure it out either.

"You never thought of asking why?" Wan Yan questioned.

"Actually, I have also thought about it. If things are more real, they will definitely look different. We dare not think about it."

"Thinking of the worst?"

The third lady fell into deep thought: "It seems that the husband and the master had a conflict at that time. I can't say it, but I just feel it. The husband is depressed. If I ask him, he says it's okay. I didn't realize it until he had an accident. Did he notice it at that time?"

The third lady didn't say this to the adults just now.

Seeing that Wan Yan was so kind, the second lady couldn't help adding to the topic.

"Girl, if you think about it that way, it's strange that something happened to my husband. My husband is just a small mob, how could he guard so many valuables by himself? And he got out of the water, so people are fine, and the gold and silver were destroyed in one fell swoop? "
