Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 30

Wen Yanzhi was startled, and quickly explained: "Second Miss, don't misunderstand, I go there because I can't push my friends to invite me, and I'm not romantic..."

Xie Wanqing nodded, "I'm just asking casually, you don't need to be so nervous."

Wen Yanzhi blushed suddenly at what she said, feeling extremely embarrassed.Seeing his expression, Xie Wanqing smiled lightly, "After all, Mr. Wen is a person who has read thousands of books, so he is naturally not the kind of person who is addicted to wine and sex. I just asked because I had nothing to say just now." In that case, it's my fault for embarrassing you."

Although her voice was cool and gentle, Wen Yanzhi's mood was calmed down by her little by little, and he was no longer agitated.

Xie Wanqing looked at the sky and bowed to him shortly, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, Mr. Wen take care."

Wen Yanzhi hurriedly stopped her, "If Miss doesn't mind, I can take you back, the carriage is here."

Xie Wanqing originally wanted to decline, but the little maid beside her squeezed her and gave her a wink, to the effect that she should get along with Wen Yanzhiduo.Xie Wanqing blushed a little, and cast a reproachful glance at the little maid, but when she turned her head, she still nodded to Wen Yanzhi.

Wen Yanzhi was overjoyed, and smiled gratefully at the little maid, which actually made her blush.

The two got into the carriage, Wen Yanzhi also had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.Xie Wanqing sat there quietly without saying anything.

When they reached the gate of Xie Mansion, the carriage stopped. Wen Yanzhi had never found Xie Mansion so close.

Just as Xie Wanqing was about to get out of the car, Wen Yanzhi jumped out of the car first, and then extended his hand to her.Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and looked around subconsciously, except for the maid beside her who was giggling with her lips covered, there was no one else there, so she stretched out her hand and put it in Wen Yanzhi's hand.

As soon as Wen Yanzhi touched her hand, he subconsciously clenched it. Xie Wanqing missed her step because of his movement and nearly fell down. Wen Yanzhi hurriedly grabbed her hand.The fragrance of Xie Wanqing's hair lingered on the tip of Wen Yanzhi's nose, but his hands tightened a bit, and he whispered in her ear: "Wanqing..."

Xie Wanqing was startled, quickly pushed him away, and then ran back to the mansion without looking back, looking very embarrassed.Only then did Wen Yanzhi realize his frivolous behavior, and he was secretly annoyed.

After that, he never met Xie Wanqing again until they got married.

When they got married, the scene was grand, and Wen Yanzhi felt as if he was in a dream. It wasn't until he stumbled into the bridal chamber drunk and saw the red figure that he felt that the dream had become a reality.

When he took off the hijab, he hesitated for a long time, as if he was afraid that he would see another person as soon as he took off the hijab, and it took him a while before he made a move.When he lifted his hijab and saw the carefully carved face below, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Wanqing kept her head half down, that side face in Wen Yanzhi's eyes seemed to return to the night when they first met, the world was silent, only each other.

Many years later, Wen Yanzhi still thinks of this scene from time to time, Xie Wanqing sitting quietly in front of him in a bright red wedding dress, with drooping eyebrows and blushing cheeks.

After the wedding, Wen Yanzhi became more and more refined, and his whole person became more restrained.Master Wen was very satisfied and felt that this daughter-in-law was really the right one.

Xie Wanqing also lived up to expectations, she became pregnant within a year of marriage, the whole Wen family was overjoyed, Wen Yanzhi even came home on time every day, the two were very affectionate.

That period of time is a day that Wen Yanzhi and Xie Wanqing will never forget in their entire lives.

It's a pity that all of this ended on the day Wen Yanzhi took Xie Wanqing back to Xie's house to visit relatives, and Wen Yanzhi's knot began to forge from that day on.

At that time, Wen Yanzhi was walking in the back garden of Xie's house bored, when he suddenly heard voices, he subconsciously walked a few steps towards the source of the voice, and walked closer when he heard Xie Wanqing's voice among them up.

The person who spoke was Xie Wanqing's direct sister, Wen Yanzhi didn't hear what Wen Yanzhi said earlier, but what he said later made him feel like falling into an ice cellar.

She said: "Second sister, you are really lucky. You said you wanted to marry a champion, and you really married a champion. I saw that you were in love with your cousin before, and thought you would marry him. He changed someone immediately after he failed the exam, and God really favored you, he really sent you a champion man, I heard that your brother-in-law is very kind to you..."

Wen Yanzhi froze, so Xie Wanqing married him only because he was the number one scholar?He suddenly remembered seeing her smile at her cousin Tanhualang a long time ago, and felt uncomfortable no matter what he thought about it at this moment.

"Second sister, why don't you talk? Am I wrong? You really said that. None of us were as loud as you at that time. Only you said you wanted to marry a champion."

"Yes, I did say..."

Wen Yanzhi paused, turned around and strode away.

Xie Wanqing didn't know that he had been here before, she just glanced at the person in front of her very impatiently, "Sister, you can tell me how many years have passed, I heard that Daddy told you about a very good family, Why do you keep targeting me?"

"I'm targeting you? How do you say that? As a big sister, I married later than you. It's a bit embarrassing, but I don't mean to target you at all." She married late, in fact, according to the Xie family's big sister. The marriage of the Wen family was supposed to be with her at the beginning, but her father made the decision to let her second sister marry him. He told her that he was just an ordinary official, so how could she hold her head up.

Xie Wanqing didn't pay attention to her anymore, just stared down at the half-cold tea in her hand, smiled lightly, and fell into memories.

She had met Wen Yanzhi before. A long time ago, she only heard him say in high spirits that he must become the number one scholar in high school, and she remembered that sentence forever.So later, when someone asked her what kind of husband she wanted to marry, she pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "The number one scholar."

It's a pity that she was too introverted and didn't tell Wen Yanzhi anything.And one day more than 20 years later, when Wen Yanzhi asked her if she was going to resign, she hadn't realized it. It turned out that he had already believed in his heart that what she valued was his title and official position, not his people.

People cannot be suspicious. Once there is a gap, more distrust will pour in.Although Wen Yanzhi tried his best not to admit what he heard, the seeds of suspicion still took root in his heart.

Since returning to Wen Mansion that day, there has been a lot of discomfort between him and Xie Wanqing.Xie Wanqing didn't notice it at first, but when her stomach got bigger, she felt something was wrong.

She grew up in a big family like the Xie family, and all men have three wives and four concubines. She should understand this truth, and even at this time, she should considerately find a concubine for her husband in order to fulfill her duty as a wife.But she really didn't want to do that. At first, she could pretend that she didn't know anything. Anyway, Wen Yanzhi had a deep relationship with her, and had never mentioned this matter. Now that he suddenly changed his attitude, it was inevitable that he would think too much.After all, his body is heavy, how can a man have a peaceful time?

Xie Wanqing wanted to have a good talk with Wen Yanzhi many times, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.She was really worried that Wen Yanzhi really agreed to marry a concubine just because of her probing question, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

Wen Yanzhi didn't want to ask her what she said that day, but he just had the same thoughts as Xie Wanqing, worried that his thoughts would be solid, but he still didn't dare to ask after all.

One day after retiring from the court, Wen Yanzhi was about to return home when he suddenly saw Tanhualang walking in front of him. His heart moved and he went forward to chat with him.

Although the two were in high school at the same time, they had never had any relationship, so Tan Hualang was a little surprised when he saw Wen Yanzhi greet him at first, and it took him a long time to recover and salute him.

After Wen Yanzhi talked to him about a few political affairs, he brought the topic to Xie Wanqing, "Wanqing often mentions you in front of me. I think your cousin has a deep relationship with her."

Tan Hualang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I was lonely since I was a child, my uncle raised me up, so I grew up with my cousin, and the relationship is naturally deep." Maybe he was afraid of Wen Yanzhi's misunderstanding, so he added: "It's almost like a brother and sister."

Wen Yanzhi smiled and remained silent.

He already had a pimple in his heart, no matter how he explained it, it sounded like he was trying to cover it up.

Wen Yanzhi bid farewell to Tanhualang and went back to the mansion. On the way, he ran into an old friend whom he hadn't contacted for a long time. Originally, he wanted to decline the invitation of several people and go back early, but after thinking about it, he suddenly agreed to go with them to the restaurant.

When he returned to the mansion at night, Wen Yanzhi smelled of alcohol, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Xie Wanqing sitting under the lamp waiting for him.There was a softness in his heart, and he suddenly felt that the awkwardness he had been making these days was unnecessary, even if she only married him because of her status, so what, the champion is him, not anyone else, and no one else can take her away .

Wen Yanzhi felt much more relaxed, walked over and sat down, gently shook her hand, "Why don't you go to bed so late? If you don't go to bed, the child will still sleep."

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips, and looked at him hesitantly, "Yanzhi, you...do you have the intention of taking a concubine?"

Wen Yan was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

"You have been late for many times, and you often come back smelling of alcohol." Xie Wanqing turned her face away, "I shouldn't ask these questions, I just..."

"If I want to take a concubine, what will you do?"

Wen Yanzhi's words made her froze suddenly, she turned her head and looked at him in disbelief, her face turned pale.

Wen Yanzhi's eyes are a little hazy, but his consciousness is clear. He wants to know Xie Wanqing's thoughts. As long as she says no, he will never think about the past again. After all, it proves that she cares about him. this person's.

But after hesitating for a long time, Xie Wanqing said: "If you really want to take a concubine, I can only agree." What can she do, is she going to be a jealous woman?Wouldn't that make her natal family be ridiculed, and even Wen Yanzhi would be ridiculed when she went out.

It's a pity that she didn't know Wen Yanzhi's thoughts, so after Wen Yanzhi sneered and went out suddenly, she was full of surprises.

Wen Yanzhi didn't return all night, Xie Wanqing felt that she must have said something that shouldn't be said.But if he didn't come back, he couldn't ask anything.

Something happened to the Xie family, Mr. Xie was impeached, the old man of the Wen family tried his best to help, but this person who couldn't see Wen Yanzhi at this time, Xie Wanqing felt somewhat uncomfortable.

When Wen Yanzhi came back, he described it as a bit haggard.Xie Wanqing originally wanted him to help the Xie family, but she heard that the matter was almost over, so she didn't mention it.

Not long after, her eldest sister sent a letter saying that her cousin who was Tanhualang was suddenly dismissed and investigated, so Xie's family was preserved, but it is said that the person who joined her cousin behind the scenes was actually Wen Yanzhi.

Xie Wanqing couldn't believe it, Wen Yanzhi had no enmity with her cousin, why did this happen?Her elder sister mockingly mentioned in the letter that it was because of her.Although it was just a guess, Xie Wanqing still felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't want to ask about this at first, but after all, she was her cousin who grew up together, and now it can be said that she did this for the Xie family, so she couldn't feel at ease no matter what.After much deliberation, I finally couldn't help asking Wen Yanzhi.

When Wen Yanzhi heard the question, his heart sank suddenly, and he remained silent for a while.

Xie Wanqing felt even more sad because of his performance.

"You do care about him." Wen Yanzhi left with only one angry word.

When he walked out of the Wenfu, he regretted a little, why didn't he tell her clearly, the affairs in court were already complicated, how could he pull her cousin because of his own personal grievances, it was naturally a helpless move to keep the Xie family, What's more, it was her cousin's voluntary.

Wen Yanzhi felt suffocated, and went out to get drunk again.

The two have been so awkward that it will naturally attract the attention of others. Not long after, Wen Yanzhi was called by his parents and asked him if Xie Wanqing, who had been neglected these days, had other women outside.

At first, Wen Yanzhi thought it was Xie Wanqing who went to complain to his parents, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy, but the result disappointed him. His parents told him that Xie Wanqing hadn't said anything.

Wen Yanzhi didn't speak, and the two elders thought that he really had another woman.Now that Xie's family is not as good as before, there is no need to be jealous, not to mention that Xie Wanqing is about to give birth, and Wen Yanzhi should have someone to take care of her.But Xie Wanqing is a good daughter-in-law, what Mr. Wen means is that even if he married a concubine, he should treat her well.

Wen Yanzhi casually said a few perfunctory words and left, but he didn't know that the news soon reached Xie Wanqing's ears.

The mother-in-law had already talked to her, but it was just words of relief, because considering that she was pregnant now, she was very careful about what she said.Naturally, Xie Wanqing couldn't take her face off, and after reluctantly complied, she walked back to the room in a nonchalant manner.

Her personal maid was so angry that she wanted to talk to Wen Yanzhi, but she stopped her.

In fact, when I think about it later, if I really went to him and made it clear at that time, maybe the fate of many people would have changed.

At least she won't beg her father-in-law and mother-in-law unbearably when she hears that Wen Yanzhi really wants to take a concubine later, so her eldest son won't fall to the root of the disease.At least Wen Yanzhi won't have a knot in his heart all the time, the relationship between the two won't keep going back and forth, there won't be any Wu family, and he won't involve his personal maid, and even affect their descendants...

Many years later, when the two finally had a chance to confided in each other, Xie Wanqing could only sigh softly to Wen Yanzhi, and said: "This is all my fault..."

It was all her fault, if she hadn't been too restrained and self-sufficient, she would have known Wen Yanzhi's thoughts earlier, let go of everything and explained it clearly to him earlier, and the relationship between the husband and wife would not have come to such an extent.

She once said to Wu Shi: If you must take away the whole Wenyanzhi, I can only let you go!She once said to her personal servant girl who loves her sisters: Since you have chosen to be with him, you should never recognize me as your master again.

But she refused to explain everything clearly to Wen Yanzhi, and never showed her emotions until the misunderstanding between the two became deeper and deeper, and it was finally difficult to understand.

She didn't know that the reason Wen Yanzhi was with Mrs. Wu was because when he was listening to the music in the restaurant, the woman holding the pipa smiled at him and said, "My lord, the little girl's name is Wanqin."

Wanqin, evening sunshine.

She didn't know that Wen Yanzhi chose the maid beside her just to make her quarrel with her, but she remained silent and said nothing.

The only time in her life that she showed weakness to him was only twice, one time when Uncle Quan died of illness, she cried heartbreakingly, and finally curled up in his arms and passed out.Another time was for Wen Zhaoling, her unprecedented kneeling.

She told Wen Yanzhi that it was her fault, Wen Yanzhi was silent for a while, then shook his head.

No one is wrong, their temperament is born like this, and no one can change it. The only thing to blame is that the two of them are too similar, they keep everything in their hearts, and they don't want to say it.

At the beginning, I looked at it for ten thousand years, but I didn't hold my hand until half my life.

Later, when the Wen family moved their family, Wen Yanzhi saw the original lantern from Xie Wanqing's unpacked box, and saw the words "Xie Wanqing" written on it.He was inexplicably surprised, he didn't expect the lantern to fall into her hands, and it was still preserved so well.

At that time, Xie Wanqing just entered the door, and she was slightly taken aback when she saw the lantern, but Wen Yanzhi turned her head and smiled at her gently, "Wanqing, next time on Lantern Festival, how about I take you to see the lantern?"

She smiled slightly and nodded slightly.The two looked at each other, as if they had met for the first time.
