Fucheng, Ding family.
Lin Wenxiao sat alone in front of the desk and wrote.
But he stopped writing, as if his thoughts were not flowing smoothly. After a while, he finally put down his pen, stood up and stood in front of the candlestick, lowered his head and thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
The study door creaked, and he looked back to see his wife Ding Xinyao coming in with a bowl of soup.
"You didn't eat much for dinner, so I asked the kitchen to cook some plum soup for you to appetize and stimulate the body's fluids. You can try it." Ding Xinyao put the soup bowl on the table with a smile.
She is much younger than Ming Xi. She has just turned nineteen this year and has a bright and charming appearance. She is Master Ding's favorite little daughter.
In Fucheng, it is common for a rich girl to get married at the age of sixteen, but Mr. Ding allowed his daughter to pick and choose until she was eighteen. He wanted to find a good man for his daughter, but in the end he chose a married man like Lin Wenxiao. married man.
Lin Wenxiao knew very well that his father-in-law had always looked down on him. It was only when he passed the scholar examination a few months ago that his father-in-law changed his opinion of him.
Therefore, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds in the Ding family, and is considerate to Ding Xinyao - Ding Xinyao wanted to continue living in her parents' home, so he stayed with her in her parents' home. Master Ding needed the aroma of books to improve the reputation of the Ding family, so he studied hard and became a scholar. .
He put in all the effort and everything was under control.
The fame he wants will be further advanced sooner or later.
The wealth he wants is backed by the wealthy businessman Ding family.
He also has a wife, a son, and almost everything a man can have.
But...
Lin Wenxiao suppressed the gloom under his eyebrows, walked to the table, picked up the bowl of plum soup and took a slow sip. He looked at Ding Xinyao from the corner of his eye and said casually, "Is Qi'er asleep?"
"Well, I've been put to sleep." Ding Xinyao smiled, sat down comfortably, and looked at the page he just wrote, "...Huh? Are you writing a letter to Master Qi? Are you...are you apologizing?"
Ding Xinyao immediately put down the paper and looked at Lin Wenxiao worriedly, "Did something happen in the academy? Are your classmates ostracizing you?"
Lin Wenxiao smiled softly and replied: "Don't worry about some small things. Once I explain them clearly to Master, it will be fine."
"What's a trivial matter? Do you think it's a trivial matter? But I think it's a big matter!" Ding Xinyao snorted, took his hand and asked, "No, you must tell me today that you have to apologize to the Master for what happened. "
Lin Wenxiao put down the plum soup and said in a gentle tone: "It's already hard for you to take care of your children every day. I don't want you to worry about these trivial matters anymore. It's getting late. Go back to the house and rest."
"I don't," Ding Xinyao said with glaring eyes. "When we got married, you said you wouldn't hide anything from me."
Lin Wenxiao laughed and let her pester him for a while before he said calmly: "Do you really want to listen?"
Ding Xinyao nodded: "Listen!"
Lin Wenxiao said: "Don't be angry after hearing this."
She punched him angrily, "Don't be angry, okay, just tell me!"
Lin Wenxiao suppressed his smile slightly and said, "This matter has something to do with my ex-wife."
Ding Xinyao was stunned for a moment, her face a little ugly, "What? She...she is still pestering you?"
Lin Wenxiao said slowly: "She is not pestering me. She is my little sister. I met her on the street. The two had some quarrels. During the dispute, she...she said some unpleasant things, so the academy has been busy these days. There are some rumors in it, so I want to write a letter to Master to explain the reason."
Ding Xinyao looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of unpleasant words could spread to the academy?"
Lin Wenxiao remained silent.
Ding Xinyao became more and more angry. She stood up and grabbed his arm and asked: "Tell me! Tell me quickly, what nasty things she said! If you don't tell me, I won't let you sleep today!"
Lin Wenxiao whetted his appetite and then told Ding Xinyao: "She said we will have a child in eight months after we get married."
Ding Xinyao's face turned completely white, and then turned red with anger.
"This bitch..." Ding Xinyao clenched her fingers and said with suppressed anger, "What's so strange about giving birth to a baby in eight months? There are some children in this world who are born earlier! She couldn't give birth to a son herself, so she arranged it with such malicious intent. I, this matter... I will never let this matter go!"
Lin Wenxiao let out a long sigh and said: "Forget it, she and I have a bad relationship. Now that the relationship has been severed, why bother to involve her anymore? I just hope that after explaining it clearly to the master, I can continue to study with peace of mind and be with her." You continue to live peacefully."
Ding Xinyao's eyes turned red after hearing this, "No, I can't watch her bullying us like this!"
"Xin Yao, I know that she has slandered your reputation and she deserves to die, but..." Lin Wenxiao said carefully, "But, she has already reaped the consequences. If we continue to pursue it, it will only add to the troubles."
Ding Xinyao hurriedly asked: "Why did she reap the consequences?"
Lin Wenxiao explained: "It's a long story. After my little sister had a quarrel with her on the street, she went home and complained to my second sister. As you know, my second brother-in-law is a reckless man and knows this. Afterwards, I was so angry that I went to find trouble with the Ming family, and also called a group of brothers. Who knew that the Ming family used some evil methods to force my second brother-in-law's group of brothers to stay, and now they are cultivating wasteland in Heshang Village? Because this fact is It’s too unbelievable, the brothers who escaped have already gone to Taiqing Palace and want to ask Master Duan to come down the mountain and get rid of the evil spirit attached to Ming’s body.”
After Lin Wenxiao finished speaking, he sighed again and said: "Xinyao, you know, I am a scholar, and I shouldn't believe in things about strange powers and gods, but I thought, since Duan Zhenren takes action, why should I go to fight with her again? Entanglement? Although she and I are married,... no matter what fate she ends up with, it should be her own cause and effect."
After Ding Xinyao heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She did not expect that her husband's ex-wife would be possessed by an evil spirit, and someone had gone to Taiqing Palace, so this story must be true.
She thought about it, and finally her eyes returned to Lin Wenxiao, with a touch of sadness floating on her cheeks, "You are so kind-hearted. The Ming family must be evil themselves to attract evil spirits."
Lin Wenxiao gently held Ding Xinyao's shoulders and said with a smile: "That's it, it's already so late. I'll take you back to the house to rest."
"Aren't you still asleep?" Ding Xinyao asked.
Lin Wenxiao's face showed a little bit of appropriate distress, but then quickly returned to a smile and said: "I want to finish writing this letter..."
Ding Xinyao's face collapsed, and she grabbed his hand forcibly, preventing him from writing, "Stop writing, Duan Zhenren is going down the mountain anyway, and I'd like to ask him to come to my house to perform a ritual ceremony to remove any bad luck. I'd like to take a look. , who in the academy dares to talk nonsense anymore."
Lin Wenxiao hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite Master Duan..."
"It is not easy for others to invite him, but it is very easy for my Ding family," Ding Xinyao said proudly, "The first incense in Taiqing Palace on the first day of the new year is all the incense burned by my Ding family."
Lin Wenxiao looked at her deeply, "That way, I feel relieved."
