Chapter 26(1/2)

The four of them sat at the same table to eat. Wei Yang held the mentality that since he had been cheated, he had to eat more and make a profit. In addition to saying a few words at the beginning, he was all lying hard afterwards.

Chu Xiangtian was disgusted and moved away from him a little, and then grabbed the last chicken leg into Wen Tian’s bowl.

Wei Yang stretched out his chopsticks but threw himself into the air: "..."

Chu Xiangtian had no psychological burden and glanced at him provocatively, turned his head and asked Wen Tian to eat more meat. The young master was too thin, and his bones were all arm. It would be better to gain weight if he gained weight.

Wen Tian obediently chewed the chicken leg, and glanced at Zhou Chuanqing opposite him, and still felt a little unbelievable. There was a Tanhua hidden among the bandits in Xishan Village, which was simply incredible.

No wonder everyone in the village called him a military advisor at that time. Those who could pass the exam must be smart.

After taking a bite, Wen Tian couldn't help but ask Chu Xiangtian in a low voice, "Why... Zhou Chuanqing is a bandit?"

How could a person who can pass the exam go to the bandits' den if he is not an official in the court?

He didn't ask loudly, but Zhou Chuanqing was so clear that he was close to him. They could hear clearly and silently looked up at him. Zhou Chuanqing could only pretend not to hear.

Looking at the young master's curious eyes, Chu Xiangtian reached out and poked his cheek, leaned closer to him, and asked in a low voice, "Want to know?"

Wen Tian nodded vigorously, and he was very curious.

Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhou Chuanqing with malicious intentions. He began to make up stories without blushing.

"Zhou Chuanqing was actually a poor scholar before going up the mountain. He fell in love with a lady at first sight on the Flower Festival. The two made an appointment to wait for Zhou Chuanqing to come back to take the exam, and then come to propose marriage..."

"But..." Chu Xiangtian deliberately stretched his tone, looked at Wen Tian's eyes falling on him with concentration, and continued to write down, "But when he put the list on, he came back from the capital, he found that the lady was forcibly married to her concubine by a local official. When the lady learned that he was back, she secretly came out to meet him for the last time, and died of illness shortly after returning..."

"Zhou Chuanqing wanted to sue the high-ranking official and rob the civilian daughter, but he had no way to ask for advice everywhere and was framed and lost his fame, so he became a bandit in anger."

Unexpectedly, seeing Zhou Chuanqing so elegant and calm, there was such a tortuous story behind her. Wen Tian secretly looked at Zhou Chuanqing and regretted asking this question. If he heard it, he would reveal his scars again.

He felt very sympathetic in his heart, but he had to try hard to hide his emotions and prevent Zhou Chuanqing from seeing it. Wen Tian's expression on his face was quite complicated.

"..." Although he wanted to pretend not to know, he was forced to listen to the whole process and was secretly stared at by Wen Tian. Zhou Chuanqing felt that the food could not be eaten.

In his heart, Zhou Chuanqing put down his chopsticks and asked Wen Tian to divert his attention, "When will Mr. Wen start class?"

Wen Tian subconsciously sat upright and pinched his fingers embarrassedly, "It's OK at any time, I'm just learning by myself now."

"Then it will take three days." Zhou Chuanqing thought for a while and said, "I still have some things to deal with in the past two days. I will visit the mansion in three days. Then check your foundation and then determine how to teach you."

Wen Tian nodded in surprise, his eyes curled up with a smile.

After a few people finished their meal, Wen Tian called the waiter to check out.

Seeing Wen Tian paying out the silver from his purse, Wei Yang turned his head in disbelief and stared at Chu Xiangtian, condemning the bandit leader with his eyes.

Forget it if you are cruel to your brothers, but you are so stingy to Xiao Qing'er!

The point is that such stingy and shameless bandits can even deceive the great beauty. The great beauty is willing to spend money to support him. Why don’t she have such good luck?!

Wei Yang was heartbroken and deeply felt that he had lost.

"You won."

He said something without thinking, Wei Yang left with his hands behind his back with a deep face. Wen Tian looked at his deep back inexplicably and said strangely: "What's wrong with Lord Wei?"

Chu Xiangtian said lightly: "It's probably because he's overeating."

Zhou Chuanqing: “…”

Wen Tian: "???"

The three of them went downstairs together. Zhou Chuanqing separated from them halfway. After Chu Xiangtian sent him home, he also said that there was something else to do, so he left again.

When they walked in alone, the housekeeper in the yard was directing a few servants to move a plaque. Wen Tian leaned over and looked at it, and saw that they were carefully carrying a square plaque.

On the mahogany plaque, the two big words "Fu Mansion" are engraved with gold powder.

The door plaque is covered with ancient traces, and the golden font is also a bit mottled. Wen Ji directed the servants to carefully lay the plaque flat so that the carpenter can paint the door plaque again.

"Uncle Wen, what are you going to do?"

Wen Ji wiped his sweat and told his servants to take a closer look, then Gu Shang replied, "This is the door plaque in the Fu Mansion before, but it has been a few years since the wife asked her to pull it out and repaint it."

Wen Tian had a vague guess in his heart, but his eyes still couldn't believe it. He suppressed the rolling thoughts in his heart and asked, "Is mom in the backyard?"

Wen Ji said that he is here.

"I'll go find my mother!" Without caring about the rules and etiquette, Wen Tian took a step and ran quickly to the backyard, rushing to confirm his thoughts.

Fu Youqin was looking at the account books in the study, and Zhuangzi Shop had collected all the books these days, and she was checking them one by one.

Before getting married, she also helped manage the family's property, so she is not unfamiliar with it and looks pretty fast.

"Mom, mom!"

Wen Tian ran over recklessly. Before he could breathe, he looked at her with anticipation and asked, "Mom, why are you moving the door plaque from the Fu family?"

Putting the account book aside, looking at the little son's eyes and expecting it, she smiled and said, "Didn't you guessed it? I'm going to exchange the plaque at the door."

The door plaque of the Fu family has been in the warehouse for more than ten years, and it is time to hang it back.

Wen Tian's eyes widened slightly, and a smile overflowed from his eyebrows, "Really?"

Fu Youqin touched his head, "Really."

As she said that, she hesitated again, "Since the door plaque has been changed, it is logical that the surname should be changed back, but if you are used to it..."

"Then I'll change it back," Wen Tian interrupted anxiously, fearing that she wouldn't let it change, "Sister must want to change it too."

Fu Youqin was amused by his anxious look, "Okay, then I'll choose a good day and change it together."

Wen Tian nodded heavily, even his hair was filled with joy.

"I'm going to visit the prison tomorrow and let you..." Fu Youqin paused, "Let your father write the bookmarks for Heli."

"Then I'll go with you." Wen Tian said,

He was worried that his mother would go to see Wen Boli alone. If his mother was soft-hearted by Wen Boli's words, or was bullied by Wen Boli, he would be there to take care of him.

Fu Youqin would tell him that she wanted to take him with her, but she noticed these days that Wen Tian was working hard to grow up, and she should no longer treat him as the bird in her arms and she would not let go.

...

The next morning, Wen Tian got up early to clean up and took a carriage to the county government office with Fu Youqin.

Wei Yang is taking over the county government for the time being, and Fu Youqin explained his purpose. Wei Yang was very reasonable and asked the prison guards to take them to the prison behind him.

The prison was built with stones on all three sides, and a vent window was opened near the roof. Only one door was fenced with an iron fence, which made a harsh creaking sound when opening it.

Dai Fu Wenji, who followed him, stayed outside, and the jailer locked the door and took them in. Even during the day, the light in the aisle was dim and the prison was very quiet. Occasionally, a few unknown wails and moans would come.

The jailer led them in for a while, stopped in the tenth row of prisons, and reached out and patted the wooden fence, with the chains on them jingling.

"Wen Boli, someone has come to see you."

The man sitting in the corner raised his head. His clothes were a little sloppy, his hair was scattered, and his eyes were red and blood-bloated. He was no longer the energetic Master Wen.

"Qin Niang?" Wen Boli squinted his eyes before seeing the person outside the prison clearly after staying in the dim prison for too long.

"Qinnie, Qinnie!" After reacting, Wen Boli rolled and crawled onto the wooden fence, looking at Fu Youqin through the gap in the fence, "Are you here to save me? Tell Lord Wei, I said I was wronged, I have nothing to do with Zhao Renhua, it was all done by that bitch Bai Ruihe, it has nothing to do with me!"

He grabbed the wooden fence and looked excited, saying repeatedly that he was wronged. Neither Fu Youqin nor Wen Tian made a statement, and just looked at him indifferently.

Wen Boli calmed down his excitement and looked at Fu Youqin hesitantly, "Qinnie, why don't you speak?"

Fu Youqin took out He Li Shu and said slowly: "You should mark He Li Shu."

Wen Boli widened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes seemed to be some kind of terrifying monster in the dim light, and a heavy "hoho" sound was heard in his throat. He whispered in a hoarse voice, "You are not here to save me."

"I won't sign."

Fu Youqin is now the only life-saving straw he can catch. If he signs, he will have nothing.

Fame, family business, wife and children are all things he should have, and he will never let it go.

With difficulty moving his body back to the corner of the wall, he lowered his head and stopped talking as he began.

"If you don't sign now, we will always have a way to let you sign." A fire of namelessness started to burn Wen Tian's heart. This person is always so selfish. "No matter how bad you are, you are a son-in-law, and your mother can still get married."

There was only heavy breathing in the prison. Fu Youqin patted Wen Tian's hand and spoke slowly, "I'm here today to ask for your opinion. You have to sign this book with Li, and you have to sign it if you don't sign it."

"Let's go." Bent over and put He Lishu in the fence. Fu Youqin turned around and left with Wen Tian.

Wen Tian was still angry, and only after he went out was about to ask, "What should I do if my mother is going to do?"

You can't just drag it off like this.

Fu Youqin stopped, pinched his cheek lovingly, and said gently: "It's enough for him to sign Lishu, it doesn't matter how you sign it."

Wen Tian opened his eyes slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart but was not sure.

"You have to learn more." Fu Youqin smiled and went to the county yamen hall to thank Wei Yang.

"Have everything done?" Wei Yang asked with a smile, and there was no majesty on his round face.

"It's done." Fu Youqin smiled politely, "Thank you, Lord Wei for being content with me."

Wei Yang waved his hand and wanted to say that Wen Tian and Chu Xiangtian were friends, but they were friends with him. When they were talking, they suddenly remembered that they didn't know Chu Xiangtian's identity, so they called him over.

Fu Youqin didn't mean to talk much, and after thanking her, she left with Wen Tian.

When they returned to the carriage, they did not leave immediately. They called Wen Ji, who was driving the carriage. Fu Youqin explained in front of Wen Tian: "You go find the prison guard just now and ask him to find a way to get Wen Boli and Li Shumark."
