Chapter 10

Two tall carriages drove into Sifang Town. There was no shortage of people on the East Street at any time. The pedestrians and the vendors on the roadside watched the carriage slowly passing through the middle of the road, whispering in a low voice.

No one doesn't know the carriage in front. It was the carriage of the Wen family, but the one behind it caused speculation, especially the driver who drove the carriage, who always had a fierce aura, which made people frightened.

The kidnapped son of the Wen family is the latest topic of discussion among the people in the town. After the officers and soldiers retreated this morning, various versions of rumors spread quickly.

The dialogue between Chu Xiangtian and Fu Youqin evolved into various versions, "Mr. Wen and I hit it off at first sight" was twisted into "The bandit leader in Xishantou fell in love with Mr. Wen and wanted to leave people behind as the wife of the village."

The southern wind of Great Chu was prevalent, and dignitaries liked to raise male favors, while ordinary people made more brothers and lived together. Therefore, this rumor was rumored and conscientious.

The carriage passed through East Street and turned to the right into Fuxi Street. The people who came from the wind were chasing the carriage with their eyes. Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "The one who drove the carriage is the bandit leader in the west mountain!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd of people who were talking quietly exploded with a "bang".

"I just said that the coachman doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"It turned out to be the bandit leader, no wonder it looks so scary."

"Is that rumors true? That bandit is really with Young Master Wen..."

The people were talking excitedly: "Of course it's true. I think the bandits would agree to release the people. It is 80% necessary that the Wen family had to agree to the marriage between the two. Otherwise, how could Xishantou agree to release the people? And the bandit leader came back with him?"

This inference is reasonable and convincing, and the crowd quickly heard a voice of approval.

But some people sighed and said, "It's just a pity that Young Master Wen, a good young man, will be ruined by a bandit."

The crowd was filled with sighs. Wen Tian in the carriage heard the vague comments, and was both ashamed and angry. When the carriage stopped at the door of Wen's mansion, he refused to let Chu Xiangtian hug him, and asked Dai Fu to help him get off the car slowly.

Chu Xiangtian withdrew his hand, not knowing what he was angry about, but the young master looked good even if he was angry, so he didn't feel angry.

A brazier was lit at the gate of Wen Mansion, Wen Boli and Wen Shuyue were waiting with their servants.

Fu Youqin got out of another carriage and saw that Wen Tian was injured. She asked the servants to come over and carry him in with pain.

"I'll do it." Chu Xiangtian squatted down and wanted to carry him on his back.

But Wen Tian was also angry because of those shadowless rumors. When he returned home, he was crowded with people and had a lot of courage and temper. He naturally followed him. He casually pointed to a tall servant, "Lai Fu, come and carry me."

Then he said politely to Chu Xiangtian: "If you have time, Chu's boss will send me back. If I am injured, I won't send you there. Please go slowly."

He said politely, but his expression said, "Get out quickly, I don't want to see you again."

Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows in his stunning look and deliberately teased him, "I still have some things to do when Chu goes down the mountain this time. I wonder if I can take a break with your mansion?"

Wen Tian's eyebrows stood up when he heard this and said angrily: "No, Dai Fu, see off the guests!"

After he said that, he directed Lai Fu to go in with his back, ignoring Chu Xiangtian beside him at all.

Chu Xiangtian touched his chin and tickled. Unexpectedly, this delicate young man was quite good at pretending, and was as obedient as a little rabbit on the mountain. Now that he returned to the rabbit's nest, he immediately became majestic.

Seeing that he stared at Wen Tian with deep eyes, Fu Youqin asked the servant to go to the mansion to get a wooden box of foot long and hand it to Chu Xiangtian, "I thank you for your understanding of justice this time. It is inconvenient for your family to give you more things, and it is not worthy of respect."

Chu Xiangtian: "..."

Chu Xiangtian took the box and placed it directly on the Wen family's carriage. The box was not big and quite heavy. He guessed that the money contained in it was full of silver. "Mr. Wen and I are friends. These are just a small task between friends. Mrs. Wen, please be welcome."

Fu Youqin paused the smile on her face, probably not expecting that this person could be so shameless. She suppressed the displeasure on her face and said coldly: "Youling is young and cannot be the kindness of the family."

"If the head of the company thinks the money is vulgar, I have a farm near the west mountain and the environment is very good, so I will give it to the head of the company."

Chu Xiangtian couldn't tell that she was trying to separate her relationship. She smiled and refused. She thought about it and bowed to Fu Youqin, "Madam, can you take a step to speak?"

"Madam, why bother talking to this bandit?"

Wen Boli heard that they had been fighting for Jifeng for a long time, but he felt impatient. A few days after Wen Tian's accident, Fu Youqin had a fight with him to save the person, and then he did not give him a good look. Even his daughter followed suit and became much colder to him. He felt depressed in his heart, so he couldn't even maintain the demeanor of a gentleman, so he spoke directly to him.

A very good family member actually had something to do with a bandit, and his wife was polite to the bandit leader. When he thought of the rumors in the town in the future and the reputation he had built for hardship became a laughing stock, he felt that his face was thrown on the ground and stepped on it.

Chu Xiangtian glanced at him lightly, Wen Boli was frightened by his cold eyes and unconsciously took a step back.

Chu Xiangtian sneered and said to Fu Youqin: "Madam is not as good as a man."

Fu Youqin's expression remained unchanged, "If you have any questions in the head, you might as well just say it."

Chu Xiangtian smiled, "This place is inconvenient."

Fu Youqin thought for a while, but then withdrew from the servants. After the two turned to the carriage, they blocked their sight by using the carriage. Chu Xiangtian took out a token from his waist and showed it to Fu Youqin.

"Chu is in charge, so I hope my wife will take her in for a few days."

The token is rectangular, made of pure gold all over the body. The auspicious cloud patterns around it surround the huge word "Ministry of War". It is turned over and the back is engraved with the "Order of the Minister of War of Pingchu" with a fly head.

Fu Youqin looked shocked and suspicious, but forging the token of the imperial court's order was a serious crime of beheading. Chu Xiangtian could not commit himself and handed the handle to her. There was no possibility of fraud, that was the real one.

He sighed slightly, and Fu Youqin said, "Then Mr. Chu will stay in the guesthouse for the time being."

The two of them turned out from behind the carriage, and Wen Boli was gone, only Wen Shuyue and his servants were still waiting.

"Wenji, you arranged for Mr. Chu to stay in the residence hall. Mr. Chu would stay in the mansion for a few days."
