Chapter 355 Compassion(1/2)
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. If you want to take revenge, you can go it alone. Do you think I don't know about your frivolous ways? You are just a concubine and you are worthy of making conditions with me."
Shen Qianxue looked down on Wen Qing from the bottom of her heart. She knew a little bit about what happened these few times. This woman really had no bottom line in order to achieve her goals.
"I heard that Zhi Ji and Gao Yejing are about to get married. Are you sure you don't want to fight? Are you, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, going to give up the man you like to someone else?"
Wen Qing felt that she couldn't let it go, and the two of them just had sympathy for each other.
"What, why didn't I know they were getting married?"
"How dare they let you know you are like this? Don't blame me for not reminding you. When they get together, there will really be no place for you."
Wen Qing once again added fuel to the fire.
"It doesn't matter if I argue. He doesn't like me. It's useless. It will only make him hate me more."
Shen Qixue was a little frustrated.
"Since ancient times, how many men have had three wives and four concubines sincerely? Your father is nothing like your mother. Men only have beauty in their eyes, and only rights in their hearts. There is no one who can bring him rights and one who can make him rise to the top. Which woman do you think he will choose?"
"You, what happens to my father and my mother is none of your business."
Shen Qixue's mother is the pain in her heart.
"I'm just making a metaphor. Don't be angry. I know you are unwilling to give in, so I came to you."
Wen Qing felt much relieved when she saw that Shen Qixue had taken the bait. Not only did she want to take revenge, but she also wanted this Shen Qixue to get retribution. This was the price for laughing at the details like she just did.
"In that case, what do you want to do?"
"Let's do this, and then..." Wen Qing approached Shen Qixue and softly talked about her plan.
"Miss, let's go back early. Madam is still waiting for you at home."
Su Jin saw that it was already late, they came out secretly, it would be bad if the master saw them.
"Su Jin, go ahead and wait. I'll be right back."
"Okay, I understand. I'll see you the day after tomorrow." Shen Qianxue was so excited that she couldn't control herself. Gao Yejing was almost hers, and he could never marry that annoying woman again.
"Then I'll leave first. I'll take this hairpin as a thank you gift. Thank you Miss Shen for being so generous."
Shen Qixue stroked the cat's hair and sat there thoughtfully.
"You are such a vicious woman. You have plotted against your own sister like this. You made the wrong calculation this time. I want to see how capable you are."
Shen Qianxue didn't believe the words of such a vicious woman. If she didn't have a foresight, she would be implicated, and even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to escape.
"Wen Wan, what are you doing?"
Ye Xiaoxu patted Wen Wan on the shoulder.
"See Crown Princess."
Wen Wan's first reaction was to salute, after all, she was his sister-in-law now.
"There are only two of us here, why are you still saluting us? It's not like being a stranger."
"Why are you here at this time, before it's time to eat?" Wen Wan hid her face and snickered.
"Do you think I'm just here to get some food? Yehua has been very busy recently, and I don't even have anyone to talk to."
Ye Xiaoxu supported her chin with one hand and dipped the other hand into the tea in the cup to draw circles on the table, like a resentful woman.
"I'm kidding you, look at the new flowers I planted recently. It took me a lot of effort."
"It's really unique. Other flowers are pink and red, but it has black and purple flowers. It's black and sexy. What's its name?" Ye Xiaoxu couldn't help but become interested in this pot of flowers.
"I named it Lingxiao flower. Its petals can be ground and used to wash your face. It is very good for the skin. The rhizomes can detoxify many kinds of poisons."
Wen Wan has been studying medicine with great concentration. She is amazed by the magic of these plants, which always leads her to many unexpected discoveries.
"It's indeed a rare thing. I'll take a pot back with me later. You won't mind, right?"
"Princess, I have discovered something." Yan Yi hurriedly walked in.
"You all go down first. It's enough to leave Zhiji here to take care of you."
There are not many people that Wen Wan can trust 100%.
"Tell me what's going on."
"According to the princess's instructions, I have been following Wen Qing and found that she and Shen Qianxue seemed to be discussing something together. Specifically, I only heard that it seemed to be about the lantern festival."
Yan Yi suddenly noticed a pair of fiery eyes staring at him beside him. "Xiao Xu, look at her, she just won't stop."
After a while, Shen Qianxue did not speak.
"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan looked at where Shen Qixue was looking and understood.
"It's okay, it's okay. What did you say just now? Why don't you stop talking?"
Ye Xiaoxu actually came here just to see Yan Yi. She was very sure that this Yan Yi was the previous Uncle Yan.
"Yan Yi told me that Wen Qing went to find Shen Qixue again, probably to get revenge on me. She is really persistent. Since she wants to play, I will accompany her to the end."
Wen Wan is no longer the coward she was before, now she has been reborn.
"That's natural. It seems that her punishment is still too light. She has been let go so many times, but she still refuses to change her ways."
Ye Xiaoxu had a look of disgust on his face when he mentioned these two people.
"Yan Yi, you go down and continue to observe their movements. I want to see what kind of tricks Wen Qing can do. This time I must let her slap her mouth."
"How are you, daughter?"
A middle-aged man was holding his seven or eight-year-old daughter in the room, his eyes full of guilt and regret.
"Do you want to save her?"
The door was pushed open, and a woman came out of the darkness.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to worry about who I am. You just need to know that I can save your daughter. Her disease is a bottomless pit. She needs a lot of money, and I can give it to you."
The woman folded her hands across her chest, looking determined to win.
"I'm just a lantern maker. How can I get such a great honor? I'm praised by noble people."
The man then thought about it, how could such a good thing happen? Maybe it was something evil.
"You are famous for your lantern craftsmanship. I need your help at tomorrow's lantern festival."
"I won't help you do anything harmful to nature, so just give up."
The man is still very stubborn.
"Dad, my daughter feels so uncomfortable, Daddy..." The little girl's face was red and she was a little out of breath.
"Ying'er, Ying'er, my good daughter, your father is unable to treat you. I'm sorry for you."
"The love between father and daughter is really deep. Your daughter is dying. Think about it for yourself. Xing'er, don't you think so?" The woman sat on the chair and played with the cat in her hand leisurely.
"Tell me what you want me to do. For the sake of my daughter, I won't hesitate to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire."
The man couldn't bear to see the little girl leave him, and he didn't want to see her continue to wander around with him.
"There is no need for you to go to the mountain of knives or the sea of fire. Tomorrow, this girl will take two people to your place to guess lantern riddles. You only need to find a way to sprinkle this medicine on her. If anyone asks, you just say it's Wen Qing.
I asked you to do it."
The woman handed him the paper bag containing the medicine.
"What's this?"
"You don't have to worry about it. You just need to follow my instructions. This silver is considered as a deposit. When the matter is completed, someone will give you a hundred taels of silver notes."
After the woman finished speaking, she left, leaving only the middle-aged man and the little girl in the room. The middle-aged man's hand holding the medicine could not help shaking.
"Daughter, daddy will treat you right now. Don't worry, daddy will definitely protect you."
Tears welled up in the man's eyes. Forced by life, this time he had to do those shameful things against his own conscience.
"Zhiji, let's go see the lanterns later, okay?"
Gao Yejing blocked Zhiji's way. "My slave, I have to serve the princess. You go ahead."
Zhiji's face and ears suddenly turned red.
"It's okay. Second sister-in-law has so many people waiting for her. I just need to tell her."
"I don't agree."
Wen Wan heard the conversation between two people in the room.
"Second sister-in-law, this lantern festival only happens once every three years. You can't beat us like this."
"Shen Qianxue also made an appointment with me, saying we would guess lantern riddles together."
The note in Wen Wan's hand said everything.
"Then please help the young lady dress up."
