Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 15

The moment Yuzhi saw the red mole, she immediately thought of the young man she saw at the back mountain of Mingyue Nunnery.If it wasn't for him at the time, it might have been really difficult to wake up after the fall.But at that time, Wu Jili hadn't followed his mother to settle in Houshan, and they arrived there about a year later.

Although that age is when a boy grows up, the change shouldn't be that great. Thinking about it carefully, Ji Li's appearance doesn't seem to be very similar to him.Yuzhi was already a little vague about that boy's appearance, but she vaguely remembered that he was older than Ji Li later on, and seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.Yuzhi frowned and pondered, it can't be said that people can grow back, right?Moreover, the boy's words were very glib, and Ji Li was always gentle and courteous, so it was even more unusual from this point of view.

Yuzhi was thinking about whether there was any connection between them. Que Ya'er quickly walked up behind her, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of her clothes, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, what are you in a daze for? My lord is still waiting." What about you." After speaking, she looked at Wu Jili in front of her.

Yuzhi came back to her senses and looked back, Wen Zhaoling was looking at her.She didn't dare to stay any longer, turned her head and smiled apologetically at Ji Li, "I'm going back soon, I'll catch up with you when I have time, by the way, is Aunt Wu okay?"

Ji Li smiled slightly, "Fortunately, some time ago I always complained that I was unwell and said that I would go back to my mother's house to visit relatives. Now that I am back, I am much better." Speaking of this, his eyes dimmed slightly, because this time he came back. After that, everything has changed.

Yuzhi nodded to him, "Since that's the case, I'll go to Mingyue Nunnery when I have time and I'll go see her again. You give her my regards and I'm leaving."

Wu Jili pursed his lips and nodded.Yuzhi turned around and walked towards the carriage, just after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped her again, "Yuzhi, I... I couldn't congratulate you when you passed, I'm really sorry..."

Yuzhi smiled and shook her head, "It's been so long for what you're being so polite to do." After speaking, she smiled at him again, turned around and walked quickly to the carriage.

Wu Jili watched her get into the car, and then met Wen Zhaoling's sweeping gaze. He felt a little oppressed in his heart, and suddenly clenched his left hand, which had been behind his back, and creaked the scroll in his hand.

The carriage drove forward slowly, and when he passed by him, he turned his body slightly and lowered his head without taking another look.When the sound of the horse's hooves was away from his ears, he stretched out his hand behind his back to his eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the scroll in his hand was not broken.

It was a painting he made for Yuzhi, and he originally wanted to give it to her as a congratulatory gift, but unfortunately now that she is married, this painting is of herself, in front of her husband, how can he get it?
Wu Jili raised his hand and gently stroked the scroll. Naturally, he couldn't compare to a wealthy family like the Wen family.His eyes touched a little vermilion on his right wrist, he was slightly stunned, and after a closer look, he realized that it was a little bit of cinnabar that was accidentally stained on the portrait last night when he was polishing the portrait.He stretched out a finger and vigorously wiped away the vermilion, as if he wanted to wipe away the memories of being with Yuzhi, feeling a little bitter in his heart...

Yuzhi hasn't spoken since she got into the carriage, originally because she was still thinking about the red mole on Wu Jili's wrist, but now because she saw Wen Zhaoling's serious face.

"Bo Yu, what are you thinking?" Presumably no husband would like his wife standing on the street talking to other men, so when Yu Zhi asked this question, her tone was quite cautious.

Hearing her question, Wen Zhaoling seemed to wake up suddenly from contemplation, raised his eyes and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm really sorry, if I didn't hurry back, I can let you get together with your old friends for a while."

This made Yuzhi feel embarrassed. He didn't expect him to be so considerate. Not only did he not blame himself, but he even apologized to himself.Yuzhi felt that she was lucky to be able to marry such a husband.

Seeing her looking at him with emotion, Wen Zhaoling handed her the steamed stuffed bun that Que Yaer bought just now, "Hurry up and eat, aren't you hungry?"

Yuzhi took one and pushed the rest towards him, "Eat it while it's hot."

Wen Zhaoling grabbed her hand, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Yuzhi, why do I feel that in this scene, we are like an old couple who love each other."

Yuzhi froze for a moment, caught the narrow smile in his eyes, and blushed immediately.Wen Zhaoling smiled and let go, and she immediately buried herself in the buns.

When the carriage arrived in the downtown area, there was a lot of voices outside the carriage.Yuzhi just ate two steamed buns in a row, slightly choked and flustered, and was holding her chest to breathe, when suddenly she heard the voice of a woman crying from the lively crowd outside, she was startled, Suddenly hiccupped and couldn't stop it.

Wen Zhaoling reached out and patted her on the back, and asked her with a smile: "What's the matter? No one is robbing you, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Yuzhi waved her hand, hiccupping and replied: "No, it's not... outside...someone is scolding... scolding the Wen family..."

"Calling the Wen family?" Wen Zhaoling gave her a strange look, listened attentively, then shook his head and smiled after a while, "That's right, it's quite ugly."

Yuzhi continued to hiccup, thinking that she didn't know who the Wen family had offended, the woman scolded so badly, it couldn't possibly be a family member of a dignified family.

The two soon returned to Wen's house. Yuzhi held her breath and interrupted Wen Zhaoling along the way, and finally stopped the annoying hiccup before entering the door.

Back at Bo Yuju, the two tidied up a bit, and were going to go to Mrs. Tai to say hello together, who knew that not long after entering the house, they saw Fuqin running over in a panic, seeing both of them there, Obviously heaved a sigh of relief, and without paying attention to saluting, he hurriedly said: "Young master is back, everyone in the family is waiting for you, madam, please go to the front hall as soon as you come back, and the young mistress will also accompany you." go."

Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi looked at each other strangely, not understanding what made Fuqin, who had always been steady, so flustered.

The two adjusted their clothes casually and hurried to the front hall, only to see Fuqin and the nuns who were serving by Mrs. Tai's side were guarding the door, and there was no servant around, both felt a little strange in their hearts.

At this time, everyone in the Wen family, except Mr. Wen, who was an official outside, went to the front hall. When they saw Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi walking in, they all turned their eyes over.The two saluted Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wen who were seated at the top, then walked to the first seat on the left and sat down, waiting for Mrs. Tai to speak.

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wen have not spoken all the time. Yuzhi is a little strange. She glances at Mrs. Jin who is sitting across from her. Her eyes are red as if she has cried, but her face has an expression of unbearable hatred. He stared at Wen Zhaoye who was beside him.Yuzhi tilted her head to look at Wen Zhaoye, but he was drooping his head dejectedly, unable to see clearly the expression.Look at Li Shi on the other side of Jin Shi, her expression is flat, she can't see why, but Ah Qin who is sitting next to Li Shi has a smiling expression, seeing Yu Zhi looking at her, she smiles back.

After waiting for a long time to no avail, Wen Zhaoling had no choice but to ask, "Grandmother, mother, what happened?"

Mrs. Tai had a gloomy face and snorted heavily. Mrs. Wen also looked at Wen Zhaoye with a straight face and sighed.Seeing this, Wen Zhaoling had no choice but to turn around and ask Wen Zhaoye, "Zhonghe, what happened?"

Wen Zhaoye looked up at him very quickly, then lowered his head again.

Mrs. Tai seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and she finally opened her mouth, but she said to Wen Zhaoye, "You also have times when you are embarrassed? Now this matter is causing a lot of trouble in the city, how do you let our Wen family gain a foothold in the capital?" Mrs. Tai The more she spoke, the angrier she became, the last sentence was matched with the sound of her palm slapping the corner of the table, which made people's heart jump.

"Grandma, what exactly did Zhonghe do to make you so angry?" Wen Zhaoling's voice was still calm.

"Alas..." Mrs. Tai sighed, "You little brother who doesn't live up to expectations, it's fine to search for flowers and ask willows in the capital on weekdays, but this time you almost got killed."

Wen Zhaoling glanced at Wen Zhaoye in surprise, "Zhonghe, is this really the case?"

Wen Zhaoye still kept her head down and did not speak, Aqin rushed to the side and said, "Oh, there is nothing wrong with this, brother, let me tell you." She got up and walked to Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi, with a smile on her face It seemed a bit abrupt at this time, "Brother, the matter is actually very simple, that is, the second brother fell in love with a prostitute, accidentally enlarged the woman's belly, and then she came to the door crying and asked the second brother to marry her. The second sister-in-law After humiliating her severely, the prostitute was so angry that he went back and found short-sightedness. Fortunately, he was rescued, so he just kept doing nothing and made the whole city know about it. Maybe he is still alive now. The downtown area is cursing angrily!"

Yuzhi and Wen Zhaoling looked at each other silently, knowing what to expect.Do you dare to believe that the person who scolded the Wen family just now in the downtown area is that whore?

Yuzhi actually took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. She hadn't liked Wen Zhaoye's slutty appearance before, so it would be nice to let him suffer a little bit now.She looked at Ah Qin, put her hands around her mouth to cough, but avoided the eyes of Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Tai and smiled at her.Ah Qin winked at her, then retreated to her seat.Yuzhi turned her head to look, and Mrs. Wen really looked at her with disgust.Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Aqin's words, and someone finally explained the whole story of this embarrassing matter clearly for her.

After these words were finished, the hall became more and more quiet. Wen Zhaoling coughed and looked at Mrs. Tai who was sitting at the head, "How does grandma plan to deal with it?"

Mrs. Tai sighed, "Now that your father is not at home, you are the pillar of the family, so naturally I have to ask you what you mean." She looked at the jade branch next to Wen Zhaoling, and sighed even harder, "Your husband and wife just got married not long ago. Such a big incident, this is really... oh..."

Yuzhi quickly comforted her: "Grandma doesn't have to worry about it, the most important thing now is to deal with uncle's affairs."

Mrs. Tai nodded, and glanced at Jin with displeasure, "If all my granddaughters-in-law were as sensible as you, they wouldn't have made things so out of hand."

Jin heard that she was blaming herself, and her red and swollen eyes began to cry again, feeling extremely wronged, "Look at what grandma said, she is just a brothel woman who wants to enter Wen's house, and she is holding the child everywhere Me, I said I can't have children, I was just angry and just said a few words to her, why are you still blaming me now?" The more she said, the more wronged she was, and the tears shed more and more, but Mrs. Tai is an elder, She can't talk too much.

Although Yuzhi didn't have much contact with the Jin family, she could see that she was a very proud person. Now that she was wronged like this, it was all thanks to Wen Zhaoye, so she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

Wen Zhaoling pondered for a while, and said, "In my opinion, it's a good thing that people are safe now. If this incident really killed someone, it might endanger my father's official career."

Mrs. Wen glanced at him appreciatively, "Boyu still has a long-term view, and this matter should be put down as soon as possible."

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "Suppression also needs a way to suppress it. If it is confirmed that the woman in the brothel is indeed pregnant with Zhong He's child, then she still has to take it back and give birth."

Jin yelled almost immediately: "Brother, how can you say such a thing? She is a whore, and you want to take her back?"

Wen Zhaoling glanced at her, "Why don't we lose the blood of the Wen family?"

Jin was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to find anything to refute.Mrs. Wen, on the other hand, coughed as if feeling unwell.

Wen Zhaoling heard her mother's movement, and turned to look at her suspiciously, "Is there anything else you want to say, mother?"

Yuzhi was slightly taken aback, always feeling that although Wen Zhaoling's words were gentle, they seemed to carry some inexplicable meaning.Looking up at Mrs. Wen, her complexion was very bad, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly pulled.

Wen Zhaoling smiled, "This is just my idea. Of course, it's up to grandma and mother to decide what to do."

Mrs. Tai sighed, "Then let's do this first." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and stared at Wen Zhaoye, "You are not up to date, you stabbed such a trick by yourself, but now you don't say anything, are you ashamed?"

Wen Zhaoye's head drooped even lower.

Mrs. Tai waved her hand, "Okay, you guys go back first, I'll let Ah Luo handle this matter." She said and called Ah Luo outside.The nanny who had been guarding outside the door came in and took orders to do it.

Yuzhi supported Wen Zhaoling and was about to leave, but just as she got up, she met Jin's hateful eyes again, and her heart trembled. Boyu's handling of this obviously offended her.
