Li Yun jumped up to refute, but was firmly held down by Wen Fang. The surrounding people could not help but scold: "This Li Lii's daughter is also shameless! It's really carved from the same mold as his father! "

"Rotten roots and rotten seeds, they are all not good stuff!"

"?"

In the time it took for half a cup of tea to burn, the dust had settled.

Wen Jiu's eyes were filled with tears, "Thank you all, fellow villagers. Wen Jiu will be going to the Xie's Mansion today, please take care of my father, mother.

Everyone agreed. Not everyone had this kind of kindness in their hearts, but since things had come to this point, they would not lose a single bit of their flesh. It was a matter of anger to stand up and criticize those lacking in conscience.

A few sedan bearers and attendant of Xie's Mansion at the side watched in a daze.

The attendant whispered: "Young Master, this Lady Wen is really powerful, would it really be alright if we placed her beside the Fifth Young Master?"

This Miss Wen is so good at making trouble? Could the body of the Fifth Young Master handle it?

Xie Heng's eyes revealed a slight smile, "Not bad, she can get lively all by herself."

attendant: Is that a compliment?

"Jiu ?"

The one who was the most worried was Mrs. Wen. She pulled Wen Jiu and refused to let go as she said while wiping her tears, "Everyone knows that if you enter that Xie's Mansion today, even if you manage to come out clean, your reputation will be ruined. How are you going to get married in the future?"

Wen Jiu didn't want to be a widow for Xie Qi in his previous life and ran away.

After being chased and cursed at for half her life, she had lived until she was 29 years old and hadn't gotten married. Right now, things were much better than in her previous life, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Mother, the Xie Family is doing very well. You don't have to worry about me. Take good care of Father." I'll think of something about the silver.

As Wen Jiu consoled Mrs. Wen, he explained the family's matters to the others, then bid his farewells to the others. Then, he walked in front of Xie Heng.

"Young Master Xie, I want to explain the situation to you through Xie's Mansion. Can you lend me a horse?"

didn't go to get married today, so he naturally couldn't get on the bridal sedan. In front of him, there was only Xie Heng riding a horse with the attendant behind him, for a total of two.

"You can ride a horse?"

Xie Heng was a little surprised.

There was not a single horse to be found in the entire Plum Village. Usually, when they were in the town or further away from the village, the best means of transportation would be ox-carts, and they would even brazenly come to the Village Chief's house to borrow money.

"A little." Wen Jiu nodded.

In her previous life, when she went on a business touring the north and south, if she didn't even know how to ride a horse, how could she have become the richest woman in Great Yan Dynasty?

Xie Heng glanced at the attendant beside him: "Go down and bring the horse back to Miss Wen."

The attendant said with a bitter face: "Young master, you gave the horse to Miss Wen, do you think I should go back in the palanquin?"

Xie Heng said unhurriedly: "If you want to, then sit."

attendant was afraid that this master would let him return in a palanquin, so he immediately did not dare to make a sound. He held onto the horse grudgingly and brought it back to Wen Jiu, saying worriedly, "Miss Wen, be careful, this horse is not as docile as those cows and sheep, don't throw it ?"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Jiu had already jumped onto the horse, "Young Master Xie, please."

The Xie's Mansion had long been prepared to welcome the bride in. The servant girl and attendant were busy in front of the door, there were not many guests present to congratulate them.

Wen Jiu and Xie Heng dismounted from their horses, and the old butler stood at the door and observed for a long time. When he saw the two of them, he immediately went to welcome them.

"Didn't Eldest Young Master go to pick up the bride? Why did this bridal sedan chair come back alone? "This young lady is ?"

"Wen Clan Jiu."

Xie Heng said: "Uncle Zhang, bring her to Xiaowu's place first. There are some problems, I need to speak with my aunt first."

As the youth left in large strides, the servants and attendant s on his left and right saluted him one after another.

With a stomach full of questions, Housekeeper Zhang could only swallow his words, and turned to Wen Jiu: "Miss Wen, follow me."

Wen Jiu followed Housekeeper Zhang and passed through the long Nine Winding Corridor, the bridge, the fake mountain, and after walking for almost an incense's time, he had not seen any heavy scenery.

Xie Family was a well-known family, as for how much money they had, no one could really say. He had only heard from the elder that the Xie Clan had settled here a hundred years ago. The number of high-ranking officials who had come from their families could not even be counted on one hand.

After a long time, Housekeeper Zhang brought her into a courtyard that was four in four and stopped in front of the main house.

"Please wait for a moment, Miss Wen, I will go ask for your presence."

The room's door was closed, and two attendant s who were a little over ten years old were anxiously leaning against it, exhorting, "Fifth Young Master, the bride is almost here, quickly open the door!"

"If you don't change your wedding dress, you will miss the auspicious time!"

"Just treat it as pitying us. If you don't open the door, the Madam will beat us to death!"

Housekeeper Zhang lightly coughed, "What are you doing?"

Two attendant s pulled on Housekeeper Zhang from both sides, "Uncle Zhang, please come over and persuade Fifth Young Master! The Young Master knew that the Madam was going to bring the young lady from the Wen family in, so he shut himself in! "He refused to come out no matter what. He insisted that we go and tell Madam that he would not take a wife if we were to send Lady Wen back!"

Housekeeper Zhang lightly knocked on the door: "Fifth Young Master, Miss Wen has arrived. Please open the door, we'll talk after we meet."

The young man's weak and hoarse voice came from inside the room, "I'm already a dying man, why waste another person's life. Although I don't know what method my mother used to find such a girl, this marriage was absolutely impossible. Cough cough ? "Cough, cough, cough ?"

He was coughing so much that Housekeeper Zhang and a few other attendant s started to panic.

Wen Jiu's heart also tightened as he walked to the door, and said warmly: "Even Fifth Young Master has never seen Wen Jiu, how do you know that I didn't volunteer?"

Housekeeper Zhang and the two attendant s looked at her fixedly. The young man in the house coughed and his surroundings quieted down.

Wen Jiu patiently waited for Xie Qi's response. Separated by a door, she could feel the slow change of the sickly youth.

After a long time.

The door opened and a fifteen or sixteen year old boy leaned against it. His gaze fell upon her body. He was a bit uncertain, but also had a bit of anticipation.

It was clearly a hot summer day, yet he was wearing a three-piece shirt without any sweat. He was so thin that he seemed weak like the wind. His skin was somewhat sickly white, which only added to his handsome appearance.

Wen Jiu had never known that Fifth Young Master, who should have been her husband, had a face that did not lose to Xie Heng's.

If Xie Qi had been a little better off, and grown up a little bit older, he would definitely be a person who would "ride a horse while leaning on a bridge, and train every inch of his body with his red sleeves".

Xie Qi asked her: "Is it because my mother is forcing you to do so?"

Wen Jiu replied, "No."

Xie Qi asked again, "But what difficulties do you have in your family? "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me how much money you need right now. I'll get someone to take it for me. I'll look for a good fate when I get home."

Wen Jiu said: "The problem has been solved."

In her previous life, she had lived for nearly thirty years. She had seen so many different types of men, yet no one had ever treated her with this kind of gentleness. Moreover, the current Xie Qi could only be considered to be young, as he was around the same age as her.

Xie Qi did not know what to do, and after staring fixedly at her for a while, he said slowly: "Since I've grown up, the food I eat the most is medicine. If the wind is cold, I can't leave the house, and the sun is too big so I can't bathe. My house was just a wall away from the street, and I listened to the hawkers hawking, and the flower girls singing like larks, but I had never seen a stranger. Miss Wen, do you really want to marry such a Xie Qi? "
