Recently, Wen Yuan also had her own troubles. She discovered that her parents seemed to be trying to bring her and her cousin Ling Wufeng together.
Wen Yuan never hid anything in front of his parents and said whatever he had to say.
That day she found her mother and asked her and her father if they were planning something these days.
"Yuanyuan, Wufeng and your childhood sweetheart grew up under the watch of your parents. He has a very good character. Why don't you... reconsider?"
Wen's mother thought she was considerate and considerate, but Wen Yuan didn't think so. She only saw the obstacles her parents had placed on her.
"I love Shen Huaiyan." Wen Yuan stretched out his right hand in front of his mother. The palace sand symbolizing a woman's chastity had disappeared. "My daughter has failed her parents' teachings over the years, but she truly loves Huaiyan. I hope my mother won’t interfere with me and him.”
Hearing the sound outside the door, Wen Yuan turned her face slightly and her eyes became more determined, "Please mother, please don't put people your daughter doesn't love between me and Shen Huaiyan again."
But when she opened the door and left, there was no one outside. Wen Yuan could not mistake it. The figure was similar to her cousin and should be Ling Wufeng.
So the last sentence she just said was specifically meant for Ling Wufeng.
After Wen Yuan walked away, Ling Wufeng walked out from behind the rockery in the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard his aunt sigh.
In fact, he came earlier, and he heard everything Wen Yuan said word for word.
Ling Wufeng tried to hide his disappointment with a smile, but Mother Wen still saw the loneliness in his eyes.
"Wufeng, come and sit next to Auntie." Mother Wen gently raised her hand and patted the wooden bench next to her.
Now she didn't know where to start. When she thought that the Shou Gong Sha who had just seen Wen Yuan had indeed disappeared, the world was spinning and her whole body was light and airy, as if she was dreaming.
After a long while, Mother Wen raised her eyebrows and said with difficulty: "Yuan Yuan is stubborn, my aunt will find another husband for you."
How could he force his own daughter to Wu Feng now? After all, she was already with Shen Huaiyan...
Mother Wen looked at Ling Wufeng, remembering the days when she taught him carefully and treated him as her own son, her eyes were full of love and compassion.
She didn't even react before she sighed again.
Who knew that Ling Wufeng's feelings for Wen Yuan were far deeper than they thought, "Aunt, Wufeng doesn't care about other things."
He thought about it for a while, but still did not tell his aunt that he had just heard the mother and daughter talking outside the door.
Ling Wufeng truly loved Wen Yuan, and he also believed that he had the ability to take good care of his sister, so he once again expressed his feelings to his aunt, "No matter who my sister likes now or what she does, Wufeng can accept it calmly, as long as... It’s good that she’s my sister.”
He didn't believe that his feelings for Wen Yuan since childhood were no match for a monster who stepped in halfway.
Even if my sister loves the fox demon so much now, she must be bewitched by the evildoer!
As long as the monster Shen Huaiyan is eliminated, my sister will be fine, and she will still cling to herself and be the lovely girl she was before.
A crazy plan sprouted in Ling Wufeng's heart, and now he just waited for his master to arrive in the capital.
Mother Wen didn't know Ling Wufeng's inner plan, but just seeing his willingness to be a substitute made her agree with him a little more.
Over the years, this child has been somewhat sincere towards her daughter. She and her husband have clearly seen that when looking for a son-in-law, it is better to find someone who knows everything about her.

The Princess's Mansion is right next to Prince Dingnan's Mansion. Although Wen Yuan is returning to the palace, he is actually just stepping from one home to another.
"Where is the young master?" When he came back and did not see Shen Huaiyan, Wen Yuan searched all over the princess mansion.
Chunhua respectfully handed Wen Yuan a letter left by Shen Huaiyan before he left, "Young master said it was all written in it. We will find out when the lady opens it."
After speaking, the person bowed and left. Only Qiuyue was still looking eagerly, wanting to see what was written in the letter.
When Chunhua came back, she was still holding the papaya and white fungus soup that Shen Huaiyan had told the kitchen to prepare before leaving, "Miss, this is what the master specially ordered the kitchen to prepare."
When Chunhua handed the spoon to Wen Yuan's hand, Chunhua couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The master said that the weather has been dry recently, and the papaya and white fungus soup is the best for nourishing the skin and moistening the throat, so I asked the young lady to eat more. The master really cares for the young lady." "
Chunhua has followed the young lady since she was a child. She only hopes that the young lady can find someone who will treat her wholeheartedly. Only when the young lady is well, can they, the servants, have hope.
Through this period of observation, Chunhua found that Shen Huaiyan was devoted to the lady, so she felt relieved and was no longer as guarded against men as she was at the beginning. She didn't care that Shen Huaiyan was a monster. Sometimes people were worse than monsters when they were bad.
The letter left by Shen Huaiyan said that he would go into the mountains to practice in seclusion for a period of time, and asked Wen Yuan not to worry about this...
"Hey, how can I not be worried?" Last time I said I would come back in three days, but who knows how long it will take three months to come back. The letter didn't say how long it would take this time.
Wen Yuan was in a bad mood because Shen Huaiyan suddenly left again, but when he turned to look at the cup of papaya and tremella soup, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't until the cup of papaya and white fungus soup bottomed out that Wen Yuan felt something was wrong. She stirred the few remaining white fungus and spring flowers with a porcelain spoon, "Why does this white fungus look so strange? It doesn't look like what I usually eat."
Chunhua only glanced at it and felt that there was something wrong, but this Tremella soup was cooked by Shen Huaiyan himself, so it shouldn't be...
"Miss, do you feel any discomfort?" Chunhua looked at Wen Yuan nervously and ordered someone to take the white fungus soup down for poison testing.
"No."
Wen Yuan stood up and stretched his muscles, and found that not only did he not feel bad, but he felt relaxed all over, as if all the muscles and veins in his body had been smoothed out, and even the air he breathed felt sweet.
The news brought back by the secret guards is that the white fungus soup is not poisonous.
"That must be some kind of tonic he added to me." Wen Yuan's face suddenly turned serious, "Chunhua, come in with me."
When the other servants saw Wen Yuan being so serious, they thought she was going to scold Chun Hua alone, so they all stayed away.
But after entering the side room, Wen Yuan quickly changed his face, his expression changed from the cold expression just now, he looked at Chunhua with a calm smile and took out a jade bracelet for her, "This is what she gave me as a reward when I went to the Queen Mother's place last time." bracelet, today is your birthday, you are eighteen years old. You and I have grown up together since we were young, and we are like sisters. You have been loyal to me over the years, so this is what I add to your makeup."
Chunhua was flattered. It was a jade bracelet that the Queen Mother had personally rewarded. When she introduced the servant, how could she accept such a valuable thing from her master? She immediately refused, "Miss, you must not do it. This is a hairpin gift given to you by the Queen Mother. It is extremely precious. Chunhua is just a maid, and wearing such an expensive bracelet does not suit her status."
"I've already said that you and I are like sisters. As a sister, I give my sister a bracelet. Who dares to criticize her?" As she said this, she put the jade bracelet into Chunhua's hand.
The emerald green jade bracelet does not look out of place on her white and clean wrist, but is very beautiful.
Looking at such a generous gift, Chunhua didn't feel that she deserved it, but was grateful for the lady's generosity. Perhaps this was the real difference between her and Qiuyue.
"Thank you, miss. I will put it away properly." Chunhua pulled off her sleeves and covered the jade bracelet. You couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.
Wen Yuan picked out two more hairpins from his jewelry, one silver hairpin and one wooden hairpin.
She put the wooden hairpin on the spring flowers herself and explained why she was not given a silver hairpin, "This is a huanghuali wood hairpin. Although it is not as bright and clean as the silver hairpin, the price of a hairpin is no less than a hundred gold. You can't tell Qiuyue." "
This is not Wen Yuan's nonsense. Huanghuali is precious and this hairpin was made by the skilled craftsmen in the palace. It is not comparable to the silver hairpin.
When Chunhua brought the silver hairpin to Qiuyue, she remembered the lady's instructions and did not show off the preciousness of her hairpin to her, let alone the jade bracelet.
"What about you, Chunhua? Have you got it?" She looked around and finally saw the wooden hairpin on Chunhua's head. Her eyes were full of contempt and pride, "Why are you a wooden hairpin...Miss? Too……"
After saying that, he covered his face and chuckled, and all the surrounding servants gathered around to flatter Qiu Yue.
I have completely forgotten what I, Qiuyue, did some time ago.
Wen Yuan treats her better than being close to Chun Hua. Naturally, he will not let her see all the good things, so it is not surprising that Qiu Yue does not understand the value of this wooden hairpin. As long as Chun Hua understands her position in Wen Yuan's mind. .
Giving her a silver hairpin was just for years of love.

In the blink of an eye, it's the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and today is Jiang Mian's wedding day. It should have been a day of joy, but it turned out to be Jiang Mian's nightmare.
Under the mandarin duck red hijab is a crying face.
Jiang Mian didn't understand why her brother and Jiang Zhichen still hadn't come back after so long. Did they not receive her letter?
Or that they don't care who they marry.
Jiang Mian had a headache when she heard the noise outside. For the first time in her life, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Shut up! What's there to yell about!"
The servants know that the young lady is not willing to marry Zhang Nanjin, but this is the order of the master and his wife, saying that they cannot cry in sorrow and everyone must be happy, otherwise they are not willing to get into trouble.
The servants, who were silenced by Jiang Mian's loud voice, buried their heads and did not dare to say another word.
The sedan chair set off from the General's Mansion. As soon as Jiang Mian sat down, she threw away the apple in her hand that Xi Po had asked her to hold. She didn't care about the apple that symbolized peace.
"It's already this hour, why hasn't Zhi Chen come yet? Do you really not care about me at all? Have all my thoughts been wasted for so many years..."
Jiang Mian covered her face and cried. Her sobs were heard by all the servants following the sedan chair. Even pedestrians on the roadside could hear it if they paid a little attention.
Only Zhang Nanjin, who was riding in front, was immersed in joy, and other people's flattery echoed in his ears, but he couldn't hear anything else.
In the end, the Zhang family went to the General's Palace for this marriage, and they didn't understand why the two elders were so anxious to marry off their daughter.
Or marry a man who is not from the right family.
