Chapter 22(1/2)

"How do you know?" Wen Tian looked at him suspiciously, with a clear expression saying that he didn't believe it.

Chu Xiangtian curled his lips and smiled at him evilly, "Want to know?"

Wen Tian nodded honestly. Although he felt that Chu Xiangtian, a bandit, would not know about the government affairs, he would not lose any piece of meat after listening to it.

Who knew that Chu Xiangtian reached out to pat his head and said with a smile: "I'll tell you later."

“…”

Wen Tian opened his eyes wide in anger and saw the bandit leader's happy smile on his face. He grinded his teeth hard, and wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

But he couldn't beat him at all. His eyes fell on the man's strong chest. Wen Tian gave him a fierce look with his eyes, and left with a angrily swaying his sleeves.

Zhou Chuanqing turned out of the wing room and felt a headache when he saw it. "What are you always teasing about?"

"Don't you think he was cute when he glared at someone?" Chu Xiangtian touched his chin, recalling the young master's eyes widened and glared at him, his cheeks slightly bulged, his eyes raised upwards, his pupils were black and bright, just a pair of long ears that were straight up.

He tickled in an unknown way, and Chu Xiangtian's face was filled with a smile that he could not look directly at.

Zhou Chuanqing: “…”

Wen Tian walked home angrily with her sleeves. When she passed by a book shop, she saw the books placed at the door. She paused in anger and turned around and entered the book shop.

The shopkeeper came up with a smile on his face and asked him what book he was looking for.

There are many books in the bookstore, with bookshelf on three walls, and there are a lot of books on it, both new and old.

Wen Tian glanced casually, feeling dizzy, but thinking of the little unwillingness in his heart, he clasped his fingers tightly in his sleeves and asked the shopkeeper what books he wanted to buy for the examination.

This was the first time the shopkeeper was asked this. He looked a little weird. This rich young master who had never studied hard. He asked tentatively: "Have you read all the four books and five classics?"

Wen Tian nodded uncertainly, "The Master has taught some."

The Fu family has a private school, but he didn't like reading since he was a child. He was playful when he was young. After a few years, he was reluctant to go there. Fu Youqin was unwilling to force him, so he simply invited his master to teach at home. Wen Tian didn't listen much, but instead learned from Wen Shuyue who was listening to the class and became a famous talented woman.

Thinking of the days when he was abandoned before, Wen Tian regretted not listening to the teacher's lectures carefully. Now he picked it up again, and he didn't know if it was too late. After seeing Wen Zeming on the Huachao Festival, he had the idea of ​​taking the college entrance examination. He didn't do anything else, but just wanted to fight for his mother.

He still remembers clearly that after Wen Zeming passed the scholar in his previous life, the Wen family held a three-day banquet. Everyone would praise the young master of the Shrine family as a terrifying person. Bai Ruihe even came here in person to send an invitation to his mother, and proudly invited them to have a drink.

They were struggling to survive, but Wen Zeming, who occupied the magpie's nest, rose step by step, stepped on them hard and even crushed them into the mud.

He would never forget that feeling of shame.

It’s not that he hates the unfairness of the world, but after calming down, Wen Tian also understood that it was his own incompetence that led to the tragedy later. If he is more successful, he can take his mother and sister away from home. Not to mention wealth, he can at least be together in the whole family.

After rebirth, things happened one after another, and these thoughts were suppressed in my heart. Until that day I saw Wen Zeming, the shame and unwillingness suppressed in my heart appeared again.

He doesn't believe that he can't do what Wen Zeming can do.

With his hands tightly clenched into fists, Wen Tian took a deep breath, put aside his face, and humbly asked the shopkeeper what book to buy.

The shopkeeper thought he was just joining in the fun, but seeing that he was very sincere, he still chose a few books for him seriously. "These are all basics. You can take a look first. If you can see through it, you will come here again. I will choose other books for you."

The few books I took casually, the height of the stacking could cover Wen Tian's face. He paid the money and went home with difficulty.

Without alarming others, Wen Tian sneaked back to the yard with a book in his side door. Although he was determined to study hard and get a good fortune, he was actually not sure about himself. If he alarmed his family and failed the exam in the end, it would be too embarrassing.

Wen Tian was thinking about a little plan. It would be better to watch it yourself first, and then tell her mother and sister when she was taking the examination.

After cleaning out the gray study room, Wen Tian had nothing to do at home, so he locked himself in the study room to read books all day long.

When he calmed down and did something, time always passed particularly quickly. Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. When Wen Tian was reading a book in the study again, Dai Fu hurriedly ran in to report the message, saying that Wen Boli was back.

Wen Boli came back a few days earlier than expected. He put down half of the book he saw, Wen Tian stood up and said, "Go ahead and take a look."

*******

Wen Boli got off the carriage and felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right. The servants at home were secretly looking at him and glanced around. No one of his confidants in the mansion saw him. Today, they came to serve him were two unrecognizable faces.

He frowned unhappily, and Wen Boli showed the majesty of the head of the family, "Where is the wife and the young master?"

The servant replied respectfully: "Mrs. I'm going to the shop, and the young master is in the East Courtyard."

Hearing this, Wen Boli felt even more weird. Fu Youqin had never interfered in the family business for so many years. What are you doing in the shop now?

He walked towards the inner courtyard with his hands on his back. Wen Boli suppressed a trace of anxiety in his heart and ordered: "Call the young master to the study."

He hurried back from Hongfa Temple, which actually had something to do with Wen Tian.

At this time of year, he would stay in the village for half a month with Wen Zeming and his son. Bai Ruihe and him were childhood sweethearts. The two had already agreed to each other for life in private. However, later he met Fu Youqin. Fu Youqin was talented and beautiful, and there was a Fu family behind him. At that time, he was just a poor scholar whose parents died and almost couldn't afford to marry Shu Xiu. For the sake of his future, he reluctantly separated from Bai Ruihe and married into the Fu family.

I thought I would never meet Qingmei since then, but I didn't expect Bai Ruihe was infatuated with him. Not only did she not blame him, she was even willing to wait for him without getting married. Wen Zeming was greatly touched. He secretly found a place to settle Bai Ruihe, and out of making up for her, she got pregnant with her own child first.

More than ten years have passed in a flash. He endured humiliation and suffered more than ten years in the Fu family and gained the trust of the two elders of the Fu family and Fu Youqin. But in fact, he had long disliked this kind of life of acting, and he was even more disgusted with Fu Youqin who was always holding on. If it weren't for the Fu family's property, he would have married Bai Ruihe into the family.

Bai Ruihe is considerate and sensible, and can think of everything in his heart, not to mention that he has a competing son. Thinking of Wen Zeming's future and comparing Wen Tian's coquettish arrogance, a trace of disgust flashed across Wen Boli's face and quickly hid it.

Now is not the time to turn against each other. Bai Ruihe has a good relationship with the county magistrate's wife. The county magistrate's wife recommended him to the county magistrate. As long as he can get the county magistrate's appreciation and find a job, there is no need to accompany them to play again.

Wen Tian heard the servant report and said that Wen Boli asked him to go to the study room and knew that nothing was good. Sure enough, when he arrived at the study room, he saw Wen Boli looking at him with an unpleasant expression.

After giving a perfunctory greeting, Wen Tian didn't even call her father and asked directly: "Is there anything to ask me for?"

Seeing his perfunctory look, Wen Boli looked even more ugly, and he felt more dissatisfied with him, "What is your attitude?"

"The poetry, books and etiquette you teach you is in vain?"

He slapped the table angrily, "No wonder I just returned to the town and heard people say that you were making trouble everywhere with those playboys!"

Wen Tian lowered his head, his eyes rolled, and almost immediately understood the reason. It was probably because Wen Zeming went back to complain. Wen Boli was here to ask him for guilt on behalf of his good son?

After understanding the causes and consequences, Wen Tian not only didn't feel angry, but even felt absurdly wanted to laugh.

He raised his head and asked with a smile: "Who is gossiping behind the scenes again? Although Li Qingnian and the others love to play, they are still responsible. It would be bad if they wronged the good people."

Wen Boli was angry with his disregarded expression, and even the image of a kind father was not enough to maintain it. He said furiously: "Do you think I don't know the good things you did at the flower-watching banquet?!"

"Flower Appreciation Banquet?" Wen Tian pretended to be puzzled, "What's wrong with the flower viewing Banquet? We just drink wine and enjoy flowers and violate the royal law?"

"you!"

Wen Boli was choked by him and couldn't speak. He could only stroke his chest and breathe. After a while, he continued: "You and those playboys rely on their power at home to bully the common people, thinking they could cover it?"

"That's how your mother teaches you normally?!"

Wen Tian's face darkened, "Then are you asking me for the sake of that bastard now?" Wen Boli said that he could not take it seriously, but he would never agree to say the word "mother".

The word "Battle Beast" is like a thorn, piercing it tightly on Wen Boli's chest. He remembered Bai Ruihe's crying bitterly while holding his son, and Wen Ze's appearance was obviously embarrassed and humiliated but silent. Anger burned from his chest, and he picked up the teacup at his hand and threw it hard at Wen Tian.

"Who do you say is the bastard?!"

Wen Tian quickly avoided it, laughing without being angry, "I said Wen Zeming is a bastard, why are you doing so arrogantly? If you have a mother and a father, aren't you just a bastard?"

Wen Boli pointed at him with trembling hands, so angry that he couldn't speak. He closed his eyes and shouted outside: "Wenji, please ask me for family law!"

He looked at Wen Tian with red eyes, and his anger made him irrationally think about why Wen Tian’s sudden rebellion was. At this moment, he just wanted this disobedient son to teach him a lesson.

Wen Ji walked in from outside in response, but did not ask for the monk's Dharma as Wen Boli said. Instead, he looked at Wen Tian with a blessing, and then stood quietly on the side in a guardian posture.

Behind him, Fu Youqin strode in from the door, stepped forward and blocked Wen Tian behind him, and met Wen Boli without any permission, "Do your family law?"

She sneered, pointed at the surroundings and said proudly: "I want to see who dares!"

"My mother cannot tell her, she contradicts her elders... These are all good sons you spoiled!" Wen Boli said angrily: "Everyone says that a kind mother defeats her son! You still have to protect him?"

"My son of Fu Youqin, even if I go out of the sky, I can still bear it," Fu Youqin said coldly: "But you, you came back to question the enemy for the sake of that bastard, but you didn't even dare to give him a title, right?"

It is said that Ye couples have a hundred days of gratitude. Fu Youqin originally thought that even if Wen Boli changed his heart, he had many years of love, so there was no need to make too ugly. The couple originally focused on fate. If they were together, they would be separated if they were together, but they never expected that he would come back to ask Wen Tian for the sake of the wild breed outside.

The two children are her skeletons. Although she has become more pampered and has improved her temper over the years, she is not able to be bullied.

"Wenji, bring the person up." Fu Youqin led Wen Tian to sit down, and the maid behind him brewed tea, but bypassed Wen Boli alone.

Wen Boli looked at his wife who was drinking tea in a daze. Fu Youqin had already made it clear what he had just said. He had been hiding his lover and son for more than ten years, and his wife already knew about it.

No longer thinking about how they discovered it, Wen Boli subconsciously took a step forward, "Qin Niang, listen to me..."

"Let me go!" A young male voice interrupted him. Wen Zeming was tied with his hands behind his back and was escorted by his servants. Bai Ruihe's situation was slightly better, but there were two thick women pressing her shoulders and escorting the people in together.

Seeing the mother and son forced to kneel on the ground, Wen Boli's mind, which was not clear at first, exploded with a "bang".

"You, you..."

He looked at Fu Youqin who was sitting firmly on his head, then at Bai Ruihe who was kneeling on the ground in the study and cried silently. His face turned red, but his voice was guilty and short of breath because of his fault. "What are you doing? Let the person go quickly?"

The servant who was arresting the person stood on both sides with his hands down, and no one answered.

Bai Ruihe, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her tears, shouted "Brother Wen" sadly, and then silently lowered her head and shed tears secretly.

Wen Boli felt that his chest was blocked in one breath. He shivered for a while, tried hard to calm down his surging mood, and said to Fu Youqin: "My grandma Qin, if you are angry, why do you have to do such a thing that has dropped your identity?"

"Besides, tomorrow I am also the young master of the Wen family. What you do is hurting the entire Wen family's face."

"So do you admit that this is the outdoor room you raised?" The sound of putting down the teacup and the cup covers the wall of the cup, Fu Youqin pointed at the mother and son with their heads hanging down.

Wen Boli took a deep breath and did not deny it.

"I have been married to you for more than 20 years, and I have only taken Ruihe one. The mother and son have not even entered the Wenjia family. Why do you have to be so arrogant?"

Fu Youqin chuckled, her eyes strange as if she had never known him. She said warmly: "Wen Boli, open your eyes wide and look at it. This is the Fu family, not your Wen family!"

"Father doesn't want you to change the "Fu Mansion" to "Wen Mansion" before your death because you have a grudge in your heart. Youling and Shuyue also took your surname. Do you think that the whole mansion is just what you said?"

Her face suddenly sank, "I thought I could tolerate you even if you keep the outdoor room?"
