female national teacher

Chapter 323
The news of General Wen's death quickly spread to the Nie Mansion.

Wen Jinglan listened to the report from the maid beside her, "Miss, my master... died tragically at the hands of thieves. Now the Wen Mansion has hung a white silk, Miss, Madam, someone sent a messenger to tell you to return to Wen Mansion immediately."

The teacup in her hand fell to the ground in a moment of unsteadiness, and then broke into pieces.

The scalding tea splashed on the back of her hand, causing red marks immediately, but she didn't feel any pain, "What are you talking about? Father, he..."

"Miss, are your hands burned? Miss, don't be too sad, the master still needs you to avenge him!"

While weeping, the maid stepped forward to find the plaster, and then carefully applied the medicine to the back of her hand.

Like a puppet, Wen Jinglan asked her maid to apply the medicine for her.

She stood there quietly, as if being tapped on acupuncture points, motionless, but her brain was spinning rapidly, she always felt that her father's death was unusual.It is by no means as simple as what I see now!
No matter what, she had to go back to Wenfu.

Thinking of this, she reached out to wipe the tears on her face, and then walked step by step towards the courtyard where her husband Nie Chen lived.

Orchid Court.

It is the courtyard where Nie Chen lives. Because he likes Clivia, it is named after the Chinese character for orchid.

Wen Jinglan walked in and saw the attendants at the door. When he saw her, he cupped his hands, "Mrs. Lan is well. Young Master Chen is working on the account books with the store managers, and there are no outsiders."

"In that case, please inform me that my father was killed and passed away, and I need to go back to the Wenfu. I will definitely be back before dark."

Wen Jinglan said quietly, no matter whether Nie Chen agrees or not, she still wants to return to Wenfu.

The attendant was a little embarrassed, "Mrs. Lan, you are in a difficult situation. If you want to leave the mansion, you must get the consent of Master Chen."

At this time, a man about Wen Jinglan's age walked into the gate of Lan Yuan, he was Nie Cong, the young master of Nie's residence.

Nie Cong is plump and round, looking like a small ball from a distance.

When he saw the slim and handsome Wen Jinglan, he came in like a ghost, "A Dong, since my sister-in-law is going back to Wenfu, I will send her back, and I will also escort her back. Sister-in-law, let's go together." Bar!"

"Thank you, uncle."

Wen Jinglan's eyes turned slightly. Of course she saw the covetousness in Nie Cong's eyes towards her, but she could only pretend that she couldn't see it. Right now, she needs to leave the mansion. OK.

Just like that, the attendant was dumbfounded, watching them leave the Orchid Court one after the other.

After thinking for a while, he still braced himself and walked into the back room, then cupped his hands to Master Chen who was the only one in the room, "Master Chen, Mrs. Lan and Master Cong have gone to Wenfu together."

"Understood, let's go down."

"Yes."

After the attendants retreated, Nie Chen's gloomy eyes showed a trace of coldness, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a disdainful arc.

He reached out and picked up the ledger on the desktop, and continued to check it with lowered eyes.

……

Before arriving at the Wenfu, sitting in the carriage, I could hear waves of crying and howling.

Wen Jinglan's heart ached. Her father, who had always loved her, just passed away like this!

She swore secretly in her heart that the person who killed her father must pay the price!
When she arrived at the gate of Wen Mansion, she walked out of the carriage, looked at the white silk hanging on Wen Mansion, clenched her fists, and walked into Wen Mansion step by step, maintaining her composure.

In the lobby, my father's coffin was being placed there.

The mother was completely white, her originally pale face became haggard and haggard, a pair of reddish eyes stared straight at the coffin, her face was filled with unbearable grief, she wept, her body was on the verge of falling, her voice was as miserable as a cuckoo weeping blood , "Second Master, why are you willing to leave Lan'er and me behind? How can I let us live?"

Several concubines even knelt in front of the mourning hall, crying and shouting, "My lord! The slave family can't survive! The family has no money and food, how can the slave family survive!"

Those few helpless women all hugged each other and started crying, their faces turned pale from crying, and the sky was dark, which moved those who heard it.

Seeing this, Nie Cong didn't dare to step into the mourning hall. He said firmly to Wen Jinglan, "Sister-in-law, I won't go in. After you're done, call me at the door, and I'll take sister-in-law back home."

"Okay, uncle Lao."

Wen Jinglan's face was calm, and there was no disturbance in his performance.

People in the Nie family are cold-hearted, and it wasn't the first day she found out, so she would not believe that her husband, Nie Chen, would know nothing about his family's affairs. He would choose to avoid this matter at this time, which also shows that The position of the Nie family.

After Nie Cong left, Wen Jinglan walked into the mourning hall and respectfully kowtowed three times to her father.

After burning incense for her father, she walked to her mother, "Mother, you are tired, go back to your room and rest for a while. Lan'er has something to say to you."

"This……"

"Sister, let's go, there are concubines here to guard the spirit of the master, it's not in the way."

Seeing this, several concubines immediately stepped forward to persuade them.

Now all they can rely on is Wen Jinglan. If she doesn't care about everyone, everyone will have to be beggars, and even eating will be a problem.

Only then did Mrs. Wen nodded her head, her legs trembling, and then she stood up. The nurse beside her supported her daughter so that she would not fall to the ground.

After helping Mrs. Wen Er go back to her room to rest, Wen Jinglan dismissed Madam Yi, and then seriously asked Mrs. Wen Er, "Mother, who killed Father? Have you noticed anything?"

"The other party used only an ordinary sword, and it was fatal with one strike. Your father had no way to call someone, and that's how the other party got his hands."

Mrs. Wen Er's eyes were dark and fierce, her man was killed, how could she swallow this breath.

"Mother, is it possible that the enemy is looking for it?"

Wen Jinglan looked at her quietly, and suddenly asked this question.

If the enemy is really looking for them, then they can't continue to sit around like this.

Mrs. Wen Er narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, "I don't know if the other party is here for Xi Linghua. poison."

"Mother means, is there someone who knows how to cure the poison of cloud banning water?"

Wen Jinglan was a little stunned, she never expected that there would be someone who knew how to take this forbidden medicine.

Mrs. Wen'er looked indifferent, "There are people beyond people, and there is sky beyond the sky. I am very aware of the horror of the cloud forbidden water, and I also know that it is not difficult to solve. As long as you need Xilinghua and use the right amount, you can solve it. It's just that this precious Xi Linghua is only available in our family, so it's no wonder that others will take advantage of our Wen family."
