In the main hall, not only Wen Qingmo and Li Xiangyun were sitting there, but there was also a girl dressed in a colorful dress beside them.

It is Wen Qingmo's daughter, Wen Ruqian.

When she saw Wen Si'er raising the curtain and coming in, she stood up and nodded very perfunctorily, and said nonchalantly: "Brother."

Wen Sil just sneered in his heart and didn't pay much attention. Instead, he cupped his hands to Wen Qingmo and said, "Uncle and aunt are fine."

Sitting on the seat, Wen Qingmo looked him up and down, then stroked his beard and said after a moment.

"No courtesy. Now that you are back, you should cultivate your moral character. I heard that King Qiansha is your examiner this time. You must be careful with your words and deeds so as not to embarrass the Wen family again."

He spoke righteously, but Wen Sil could see a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

I'm afraid that he is currently angry that the person he sent to assassinate him is not doing well!
Without waiting for Wen Si'er's answer, Wen Qingmo added, "I heard that Si'er has gone? I have already said that her family is not suitable for exile."

"Yes. In order to save me, Sisi was injured by a thief and thrown into the river..." Wen Si'er endured his grief and anger and dealt with it calmly.

Wen Qingmo saw that she really had a sad look on her face, and quietly looked at Li Xiangyun, seeming a little relieved.

Solving each one counts as one!
Suddenly a cold swishing voice came from over there: "I thought that the eldest brother took the second sister here to protect her. Why is it that he is so powerful when he teases the maid, but he is so powerless when he encounters a thief?"

Wen Si'er's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, becoming extremely sharp in an instant.

Li Xiangyun felt guilty and quickly pinched Wen Ruqian to tell her to shut up.

Wen Ruqian shook her handkerchief and dealt with it with a chuckle: "I just remembered this suddenly. It's just a joke. Brother, don't take it seriously."

It was clear that they framed my brother, but they still had the nerve to talk about it?

Wen Sil stared at her closely, from the gorgeous embroidered skirt to the beaded hairpin on her temples, and suddenly said: "Three sisters are right. I will definitely make the thieves who hurt our brothers and sisters pay with blood, but before that, first Give me back the hairpin on your head. It belongs to Sisi."

When they heard about the thief, Li Xiangyun and Wen Qingmo looked a little uncomfortable.

Wen Ruqian just pressed her hand on Zhu Chai and said angrily: "Why is the eldest brother so stingy? They are all your sister. Aren't the things that belong to the second sister belong to me?"

Wen Sil didn't say anything and walked directly to Wen Ruqian.

The sound of "pop" was extremely crisp.

A bright red palm print appeared on Wen Ruqian's face. She had been pampered since she was a child, and she screamed in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?! You are crazy!"

Wen Qingmo also stood up from the pear wood chair and shouted: "What are you doing, beating your sister for a little jewelry!"

"Uncle doesn't know something. I beat her just for the sake of being the lintel of our Wen family!"

Wen Sil said confidently, staring closely at Li Xiangyun and her daughter, "I told my aunt yesterday that there were some gifts given by the emperor that I didn't think of at the moment, and this is the one on my third sister's head."

"Yesterday during the assessment, King Qiansha specially reminded that Her Majesty the Queen values ​​human ethics and told me not to mess up the right and wrong. These days, the third sister is always claiming to be the legitimate daughter of the Wen family. If she is allowed to wear this beaded hairpin again. , when others see it, don’t they think that the British government is disrespectful to the Queen?”

She looked at Wen Qingmo again: "If I don't beat her today and spread the word, the people will say that my uncle has not raised her properly. How will you behave in the court then?"

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and seemed to be entirely for the sake of the government. Not even Wen Qingmo could refute it.

He couldn't help but speak harshly to his daughter: "If you don't return that hairpin and show off in the market, are you trying to ruin my official reputation?"

"Dad, I didn't..." Wen Ruqian had no choice but to take off the hairpin and return it, even though she was reluctant. Wen Sil ordered the maid to put away the pearl hairpin and put it back in the courtyard.

Li Xiangyun came out to smooth things over: "Ming'er, your sister is young and ignorant. She just thinks that the hairpin is beautiful. As the eldest brother, you won't argue with her, right?"

Wen Sil laughed and didn't answer, which made Li Xiangyun very embarrassed.

Wen Qingmo coughed slightly and changed the subject: "Sir lost her footing in the river. Has her body been found?"

Wen Si'er shook his head: "The river is rushing and I can't find him anymore."

"There's nothing we can do about it. You don't have to worry too much. The family will build a tomb for her and perform a ritual ceremony to pay her respects."

Back in the courtyard, Wen Sil ordered Xiao Yun to buy things for the funeral ceremony.

When a direct descendant of the Duke's family dies, a ritual ceremony is not enough.

In the evening, mournful music sounded and echoed everywhere. Xiao Yun was burning paper money when he saw Li Xiangyun coming angrily from a distance.

"Stop! What are you doing!"

She heard noises in the house, ghosts crying and howling at night, which made her upset but not unlucky.

Wen Sil, dressed in plain white, stood up, obviously showing off his condolences.

"Can't Auntie see it? Sisi is in such a pitiful state, so naturally we have to hold a funeral for her."

Li Xiangyun endured the anger in her heart, took a deep breath and said: "I know you care about Sisi. But her body has not been found. A burial mound is enough. Now that the family is in a state of unrest, your uncle will be charged when he comes back from drinking. of."

She didn't dare to yell at Wen Sil's servants, so she took all her anger out on the servants.

He pointed at Xiao Yun and scolded: "What a bunch of stupid idiots! The master is so dizzy that you don't even have to be alert, so you are just messing around here! When the master comes back, I will have to skin you!"

The meaning of criticizing Sang and Huai is beyond words.

Wen Si'er protected Xiao Yun behind him, stepped forward, and stared at her closely: "Sisi is my closest relative by blood. She died in a foreign land, how can a single ritual be enough? I asked the master, if She doesn’t sleep well underground, so she will go home and take a look.”

She deliberately said the words "go home and see" very slowly, and she saw Li Xiangyun's expression change.

The candlelight was dim, and when the night wind blew, she really shivered a little.

Li Xiangyun subconsciously crossed his arms, looked around, and said bravely: "This... don't think about it. After all, you have just returned from exile. I am also afraid that your uncle will find out and blame you."

With that said, she once again drove the servants away: "What are you doing here? Go back! I'll see you when the master comes back later!"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Sil scolded: "Who dares to leave!"

For a while, the atmosphere was at a stalemate, and no one dared to take a step.

This made Li Xiangyun so angry that he couldn't do anything good in the past few days since Wen Chengming came back!
Wen Sir glanced around coldly, and finally his eyes fell on Li Xiangyun, and spoke word by word.

"I'm afraid Auntie's memory is not very good. Sisi is the fiancée of King Qiansha. To slight her is to neglect King Qiansha. Could it be that Auntie wants to make enemies of the Wen family?" (End of Chapter)
