Wen Shengjun blushed angrily, turned his wheelchair, and faced Wen Jing with his back.
Wen Jing frowned and sighed, reluctantly leaving this "Wen Mansion".
Wen Jing assesses the situation and is a person who can bend and stretch.
Otherwise, he would never have the status he has today.
He did not deny that the change in his attitude towards his eldest son was because his eldest son now seemed to have "prospects" and had value.
In his eyes, family affection is far less important than interests.
He didn't get angry when his eldest son lost his temper or sneered at him. He just felt that his eldest son was too childish - even acting like a child.
Wen Jing did not give up his goodwill - he gave the banknote to Wen Jin and explained the situation.
"Please, Princess Huai, hand it over to Jun'er on your behalf. You brother and sister have a good relationship. Princess, please help me persuade him... He is my son, and his bones are broken but his tendons are still attached!" Wen Jing said to Wen Jin.
He thought Wen Jin would also reject the bank note.
He even prepared a basket of words to persuade Wen Jin.
But Wen Jin didn't give him a chance at all - she just put the banknote in her arms.
"Okay, I will definitely pass it on to the elder brother." Wen Jin said, "Is that all? Will you give it back later?"
Wen Jing was stunned by her.
What? Eight hundred taels, is that too little for her?
"Haha, haha. The house has a lot of expenses. When...when I have more money, I will naturally go see him again." Wen Jing faced his son's cold refusal and was not angry at all.
I just feel that my son is too naive. People who get angry easily are also easy to manipulate.
But facing Wen Jin, she stretched out her hand and took his money, which seemed to be too little...
Wen Jing is a little angry!
But this is Prince Huai's Mansion. Does he dare to get angry in Prince Huai's Mansion?
Wen Jing could only say thank you and leave.
Wen Jin was a little happy with the eight hundred taels of silver notes.
She is worried about hiring a cook and has no money to buy servants - why don't she give her a pillow if she doesn't feel sleepy?
That idiot brother didn’t even ask for any money. What a big grievance!
Wen Jin took the money to his new house.
"You took his money?!" Wen Shengjun almost got angry!
If his legs weren't still weak, he would really jump up.
He had never spoken to Wen Jin so loudly since Wen Jin changed.
Wen Jin nodded, "Brother, don't be angry. You can get the money back after you collect it. But I want to ask you two questions."
Wen Shengjun was breathing heavily, his eyes red.
"How could you take his money? How could you bow to him? Have you forgotten how he treated us before?" Wen Shengjun said angrily.
Wen Jin didn't answer the question.
"The first question is, can you sever the father-son relationship with him? If something happens to him, can you keep yourself from being implicated?"
Wen Shengjun's face tightened and he gritted his teeth.
After a while, he squeezed out from between his teeth, "This is not what I have the final say. Today's Holy Emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, so of course I..."
The Holy Father attaches great importance to filial piety, and a father can expel his children from the house.
But children must never deny their father.
Especially Wen Shengjun, he wanted to pursue an official career, and the name of filial piety was very important to him.
If word spreads that he is unfilial, his career dreams will come to an end.
"Second, if he gets old or sick in the future, can you stand by and watch with peace of mind?"
"I……"
Wen Shengjun's face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.
Wen Jin smiled, "My eldest brother is kind-hearted. If he is unkind, you will not be unjust. Just because of the grace of life, you will support him until he grows old."
Wen Shengjun took a long breath and said, "...Yes."
"So, what controls the eldest brother is not his money. It is the eldest brother's moral requirements for himself and his character."
"As for money, this money is an investment made by my father so that he can be taken care of when he is old. Since it is an investment, what is not good about it?"
Wen Jin shrugged, "Brother, you can think of it as a loan. Use this money to invest in your life. Make friends, study under teachers, and pave the way for your career. In the future, when my father gets old, I can give it back to him."
"Money is neither good nor bad, it all depends on where it is used. If the eldest brother uses this money to improve his own strength, then this money is good."
"Brother uses this money to eat, drink, whore and gamble. This money is evil, that's all."
"Why does eight hundred taels of silver put such a burden on my eldest brother?"
Wen Jin's smile was warm and relaxed.
Wen Shengjun looked at her blankly.
The solid wall he had built in his heart seemed to have been pried open by her.
There was a large bright light outside, shining in through this opening.
"Is... is it his investment in me?" Wen Shengjun murmured, "Should I use this resource to invest in myself?"
Wen Jin nodded, "Who is qualified to talk about fairness? People with strength. If brother wants to talk about fairness, he must increase his strength."
"Why did my father turn a blind eye to us before, but now he takes the initiative to give us money? Is his conscience aware of it?"
Wen Jin chuckled.
Wen Shengjun's face turned pale... He knew it was because his father saw Prince Shen and Prince Hailing!
It's because his father saw that he was more "strength" than before!
What confession? What to make up for? It’s just a fig leaf!
"You're right." Wen Shengjun's heart felt as if something made of glass was shattered with a "crash".
But in that broken place, a stronger heart grew.
"Anyway, I will support him in his old age in the future. I should accept the 'investment' he gave me." Wen Shengjun took a deep breath, "This is what 'a father is kind and a son is filial'."
"Before, I was pedantic! I yelled at my sister, and I hope my sister will forgive me." Wen Shengjun said with his hands in hand.
Wen Jin shook his head, "I'm not being pedantic. My eldest brother has a pure heart and values family ties more. There is no right or wrong, it's just different perspectives."
Wen Shengjun was shocked again by her open-mindedness and indifferent attitude.
Listening to her talk and getting along with her makes people feel... very comfortable.
Wen Shengjun couldn't help but confide his plans to Wen Jin.
"I want to go to Chongwen Academy to study..."
"Of course. Chongwen Academy is the highest academic institution in Daliang, with many famous scholars and scholars gathered there." Wen Jin nodded, "My brother wants to pursue an official career, and this is the shortest way."
"Brother, have you decided which great scholar you want to be your teacher? If you need someone recommended by Prince Huai or the Shen family, maybe I can help."
Wen Jin had a serious attitude and even thought of "shortcuts" for him.
Wen Shengjun's heart was filled with excitement, and he was both moved and ashamed. He still underestimated his sister!
Her realm is more enlightened than mine!
"I also met a few celebrities when I was studying. When my leg heals, I will go to Chongwen Academy to have a look." Wen Shengjun said, placing his hand on his lap.
Wen Jin thought for a moment and said, "Let's not delay. You have to sit down to study anyway. If my brother is not afraid of people looking at him, there is no problem in sitting in a wheelchair to study."
"Tomorrow, I will be free tomorrow. I will take my eldest brother to Chongwen Academy."
Wen Shengjun trembled, "No, no need. Still, let's wait."
Wen Jin looked at him with a smile, "Brother, are you scared?"
"I...I'm just not ready." Wen Shengjun felt guilty. He was a little scared, but he didn't want to admit it.
"What are you afraid of, brother? Can you tell me?" Wen Jin asked calmly.
