Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 302 I might have to take a concubine (1 more)
Xie Zheng and Song Wei were in the Imperial Academy together, even if they didn't usually work together, it would be a breeze for Song Wei to know when Xie Zheng and the others would leave the office.

So Xie Zheng didn't know how to answer the gentle question.

If he answered that the Hanlin Academy had something to do, he would be exposed in no time. If he answered that the Imperial Academy was very punctual, then he would not be able to solve the problem that he came back late a few days ago.

Seeing that he refused to speak out, Wen Wan smiled, "Is there something unspeakable?"

"I……"

Xie Zheng just uttered a word, and then he said softly, "It's not convenient for you to say it, don't force it, I just came from your house, go in, my brothers and sisters are waiting for you to go home for dinner!"

Hearing this sentence, Xie Zheng's face became more and more tangled, but there were some things that he couldn't talk to a gentle woman, so he moved his lips, and in the end he just hummed lightly from his nasal cavity, without saying anything else, and raised his head. Stepped into the gate of his own courtyard.

Wen Wan watched Xie Zheng's back disappear at the gate before turning around and walking in.

……

Song Wei got home early, and heard that Wen Wan was visiting the next door. When he saw someone, he asked her, "How is it?"

Wen Wan put Jinbao down, watched the little guy walk towards his father step by step, and then answered truthfully, "The matter of the second family's separation has basically been settled."

Song Wei smiled, "Wanwan settled it?"

A gentle "huh", "I want to say yes, will Mr. Song have any rewards?"

"What reward do you want?"

As Song Wei said, he stretched out his hand to support his son who had already walked in front of him, and then took advantage of the situation to hug him and sit on his lap.

Wen Wan said: "Leave the matter of rewards aside, let me tell you something else."

"Well, you said."

"Just before entering the door, I saw Xie Zheng."

Hearing this, Song Wei raised his eyes slightly to look at her, "Xie Zheng came back so early today?"

"I asked a few questions, but he hesitated and didn't give any substantive answers. I think he might have something to hide and it's inconvenient to tell a little woman like me. Would you like to ask me some time?"

Song Wei's tone was slightly lower, "Since you have already asked, then I don't have to do it again."

"Huh?" Wen Wan looked at the man suspiciously.

Song Wei explained warmly, "Xie Zheng is not a good liar. If he really did something to offend his conscience and was asked like that again, sooner or later he will take the initiative to confess."

……

After all, he is a mature man in his early thirties, Song Wei's control over people's hearts is far more precise than Wen Wan imagined.

Especially at the moment when Xie Zheng appeared in their courtyard, his gentle feeling became deeper and deeper.

When Xie Zheng went back earlier, he just greeted his parents casually, said he had something to go out, and went straight to Song's house after going out.

In the hall, the food has already been served.

Mrs. Song was setting the bowls and chopsticks, it was rare to see Xie Zheng coming over, she smiled and beckoned him to come in for dinner.

Xie Zheng forced a smile, "Auntie, I have something to do with my third cousin."

Song Wei, who had just taken his seat, heard the words, raised his eyes and looked straight outside the door.

When he looks at people, his vision is extremely penetrating.

Even Xie Zheng, when facing Song Wei like this, would suddenly feel that there was nothing to hide.

"Is there anything you can't say in the house?" Song Wei's voice was calm. Ever since he wore black gauze and became an official, under his calmness, he often revealed a bit of undeniable majesty.

Wen Wan thought, this is probably what other people call "official prestige".

Xie Zheng didn't take a step forward, as if he was guilty, he stopped looking at Song Wei, his eyes moved away slightly, and looked elsewhere, "If the third cousin is kind, I'll treat you, let's go to the tavern and talk while drinking. "

Wen Wan paused for Jin Baosheng Soup and looked at Song Wei.

But seeing the man standing up slowly, he said something to her and then he came and walked out.

The two cousins ​​quickly walked out the gate towards the tavern.

Mrs. Song looked puzzled, and looked at Wen Wan, "I looked at Xie Zheng with a strange expression, did something happen?"

What happened to Xie Zheng, Wen Wan herself couldn't explain it, she could only tell her mother-in-law, "Xie Zheng said it was a private matter, then let's leave it alone, it's a waste of time to think too much."

After speaking, I specially put a chopstick dish in the mother-in-law's bowl.

……

The Shuyuan Street where the Song and Xie families are located has the Hanlin Academy, an important government office, and there are no vendors or shops on the entire street, so the tavern is a little far away.

Even so, Song Wei and Xie Zheng walked over.

However, he remained silent all the way.

When he arrived, Xie Zheng ordered a jug of wine and a few dishes of side dishes.

The two cousins ​​sat opposite each other.

Song Wei looked at Xie Zheng on the opposite side, straight to the point, "Didn't you say you have something to do with me?"

Xie Zhengmo was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I might want to take a concubine."

At this moment, the shop waiter came up with the jug and side dishes. Song Wei took the jug and poured it for Xie Zheng and himself. His expression did not change at all, and his tone was contemptuous. "Tell me, what is the reason for your confusion?"

Xie Zheng couldn't help asking, "Don't third cousin be surprised?"

Song Wei smiled lightly, "I don't think it should be surprising for such a trivial matter as taking a concubine."

The long-standing psychological burden was said to be a "trivial matter". Xie Zheng seemed to have found a point of support, and his tense emotions eased a bit, and then he told the whole story.

……

Two months ago, Xie Zheng's eldest son Xie Feng suddenly foamed at the mouth and fainted after eating Xiangke's food. Xie Zheng was in a hurry to call a doctor and hired a carriage to go to the medical clinic. a girl.

"There are slight scratches on the face and a broken leg." Xie Zheng said, "I asked the doctor to use the best medicine for the wound on the face, and it has almost healed. It's just her leg, I'm afraid she will be a little lame when she walks. There is no going back to the way it was before.”

Then, taking a deep breath, "I can't help but be responsible to her."

"So, for the past two months, if you don't go home every day, you just go to accompany her?"

Xie Zheng nodded, "She has recovered a lot recently and needs someone to help her walk."

"She agreed to be your concubine?" Song Wei asked again.

Xie Zheng lowered his eyelashes, and after a while, he said "hmm" slowly.

"What about her family?"

"Her biological father died early, and she only has a bedridden mother. She usually sets up a small stall to do pancake business, and her life is very difficult."

"Two months, the combination of guilt and compassion made you fall in love with her?" Song Wei sipped his wine, speaking calmly, but Xie Zheng couldn't raise his head again.

Song Wei somewhat understood him.

For Yang, it is more of a man's sense of responsibility, but for that girl, he may really be in love.

In the era of men with three wives and four concubines, responsibility and affection don't have to be juxtaposed, as long as a man wants to, they can be completely separated.

Regarding this matter, Song Wei didn't think he had the right to speak, "As long as you can find a way to get her uncle, aunt and cousins ​​to accept her, I have no objection."

Mentioning this, Xie Zheng immediately put on a bitter face, "If I can think of a way, I won't come to my third cousin."

Song Wei said: "I can keep silent, and even agree to your concubine in a tacit way, but you can't ask me to help you with ideas, it's two different things."

Xie Zheng also knew that with Song Wei's temperament, asking him to come up with an idea was to embarrass him, but he had been thinking about it these days and couldn't think of any good solution, so he was almost driven crazy by himself.

The two sat quietly for a while, and Xie Zheng asked him, "If you changed your third cousin, what would you do?"

Song Wei said truthfully, "My situation is different from yours."

His responsibilities and emotions are all on the same person. Even if a situation similar to Xie Zheng's occurs, he will find a way to hire the best doctor and find ways to compensate in other ways, but he will definitely not feel bad for that girl. Love, and there is no need to worry about how to bring people into the door.

……

Today is a confession.

Even if he didn't get any useful advice from Song Wei, Xie Zheng was able to find someone to pour out the distress in his heart, which was considered a relief, at least his chest was not so oppressed, at least... Song Wei didn't directly blame him, but Yes is selected by default.

-

After Song Wei went back, he truthfully told Wen Wan what happened to Xie Zheng.

Wen Wan thought that the real situation would be as Song Wei had speculated before. Xie wanted to follow Hao Yun's example and take shortcuts because of too much pressure from his family, but he did not expect such a dilemma.

"Is there no other way?" Wen Wan felt faintly worried when she thought of Aunt Xie's strong temper that rivaled her own mother-in-law.

Song Wei said: "If Xie Zheng is purely for compensation, there may be other ways. The difficulty is that there may already be feelings between him and that girl."

Once there is affection, the balance in my heart will inevitably tilt towards that side, not to mention that the girl is a weak person. If the Xie family bites her to death and disagrees, it will only force Xie Zheng to love her even more. Maybe because of her, she turned against her family.

Shaking back her thoughts, she looked at the man's handsome side face gently, and asked suddenly, "What if you meet a husband? What are you going to do?"

Song Wei asked her with a smile, "So you can't wait for me to take a concubine?"

Who wants to serve a husband with another woman?Wen Wan snorted softly, "I just want to know how you would deal with the same situation."

Song Wei said: "If you don't get emotional, you won't have trouble dealing with it."

Wen Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and asked knowingly, "What does it mean not to be emotional?"

After five years of marriage, Wen Wan has never heard Song Wei say that he likes her. He said just now that he would not fall in love with other women. Is it a disguise to confess his feelings to her?
Thinking of this, Wen Wan felt sweetness in her heart, and her face was flushed.

The man didn't answer directly, and the topic changed quickly, "You said you want a reward during the day, what is it?"
