"But …" Miss Wen held the handkerchief in her hands tightly, her hesitant expression clearly showing on her face.

Having been taught a lesson by a woman, who wouldn't follow the rules of being filial and respectful? Who would have thought that one day, from an equal perspective, they would persuade their father to bring their mother home?

However, everywhere in the world, parents who had lived by the teachings of morality were everywhere, and everyone was looking forward to the prosperity of their families!

There was a father who had abandoned his wife and son to marry again, and an aunt who had given him a niece as a concubine!

"Elder sister, you also know that since ancient times, good things never go out of doors, bad things spread far and wide. Even if you don't consider the future of the Wen family, you should more or less think about how you came to your husband's house!"

Like the last straw that overcame the camel, Miss Wen bit her white lower lip and finally made up her mind.

"Alright, I'll go speak with my father!" After saying that, his face changed again. "But no one can persuade mother, how can mother follow father back like this?"

With Madam Wen's strong personality, she was indeed very likely unwilling to return with Master Wen. However, looking at the extent to which Madam Pingwen doted on Miss Wen, as long as he made clear the interest in the matter, at least Madam Wen would care about her daughter's reputation and wait until her daughter left the pavilion before arguing with Master Wen.

After making up my mind, I smiled and held Miss Wen's hand to persuade her: "Big sister is really muddle-headed. You and Lady Wen have a deep relationship. If big sister goes there, Lady Wen will definitely take pity on big sister. She will only wait for Master Wen to pick her up before coming back with her."

I didn't say anything, but once I finished speaking, Miss Wen's tears once again fell like beads with a broken string, gently falling down.

"It's not like I don't know what my sister said, it's just that …" Miss Wen looked troubled, she hesitated for a moment, "My rich second aunt has already taken our silly old lady's cards, not only did she send a bunch of trusted servants to follow behind me all day, but she is also looking at the door to prevent me from stepping out."

"Elder sister has the 'A' word in her hand. It's the proper master of this family again. Even if she forced this door, what can she do?"

Even if that Second Young Madam Fu had brought along all sorts of tricky slaves, he couldn't just have all the servants listen to her orders. After all, Madam Wen had been in charge of the family for more than ten years. How could she not even have a head of her own?

Hearing my question, Miss Wen became even more depressed: "It's not that I can't get out, but as long as I take a step out of the door, she would make people call me 'Mother' in the street, and call me 'unfilial'. When my mother-in-law was sick, she would not serve me, and instead, she would run to my sister's house. My reputation is still secondary, but how can I let my mother suffer such injustice in vain! "

Miss Wen's eyes were filled with tears.

Who would have thought that this Second Young Madam Fu was actually so quick-witted? He completely learned from that slut on the streets who was trying to be shameless and scolding others!

"How about this!" While helping Miss Wen wipe the tears on her cheeks, I consoled her softly. "Grandma Fu Er can control my sister's feet, but not my legs. I'll go and help my sister this time!"

"Really?" Miss Wen's teary eyes were as clear and transparent as the sky. She looked at me with sparkling eyes. "Can I really trouble little sister?"

I suddenly had the feeling that I had been tricked!

"Of course it's true!" I laughed self-deprecatingly, "If a junior like us were to tell Lady Wen that we would lose face, it would be better to let my grandmother come over. "Firstly, it's the elders who have offended Lady Wen, and secondly, Lady Wen can understand things, and secondly, if you and I appear, we can't avoid provoking criticism. Second Young Madam Fu can't say anything disrespectful, so what do you think about this, sister?"

"That would be even better!" Miss Wen's smile was somewhat bitter. "As expected, little sister is considerate."

With the appearance of our elders, this matter is no longer a scheme between the two of us, but the support between the two families.

After agreeing that I would go and advise Lady Wen and Miss Wen would go and persuade Master Wen, I gave her a few words of consolation and a few words of advice. Coincidentally, Ancestor Wen Cheng had woken up, and after washing his face and hands, he was brought over by a servant girl.

He had been hiding his thoughts at such a young age, and his identity was special as well. If someone was willing to give him some advice, it would be unknown what he would look like in the future!

Just as they were talking, Qiu Yu brought up a plate of yellow apricots and placed it on the black chess table. Miss Wen picked up the biggest and most red apricot for the sitting Wen Chengzu, but Wen Chengzu repeatedly smiled and raised it up to Miss Wen's mouth for her to eat. Miss Wen's eyes reddened as she smiled and said, "Seeing that little brother is so sensible, it's worth it no matter how bitter it is!"

Be sensible?

He was sensible, but he didn't know what it was that he understood!

Looking at the pampered and grateful smile on Miss Wen's face, I retracted the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Miss Wen valued this Heir so highly, which was exactly what she was excited about. If I pour a bucket of cold water on her, she would not be grateful, but rather, might ruin our friendship. Perhaps this little gongzi would one day pass on to the name of Lady Wen. The Wen family's husband and wife were both kind people, and after receiving the education of their parents, their future accomplishments were unknown.

Looking at the Wen Chengzu in Miss Wen's arms, I couldn't help but secretly sigh a few times.

After being sent out of the gate by the Wen family's siblings, I led Mother Song back to the Yang Mansion. On the way, she whispered to me, "Miss, is it that the Wen family has something to request of our family?"

I was alarmed. There isn't even a servant in front of me, how would she know about this?

Mother Song saw that my face was unsightly and hurriedly explained, "Miss, don't misunderstand! I saw Miss Wen respond with so many gifts, with her white eyebrows and red eyes. Why are you giving so many things to us? "

I thought of my flowery appearance in exchange for a box of silks and silk satin can not help but smile, Miss Wen came to beg me there is really no way! He was clearly someone who didn't want to owe others.

"It's fine, Miss Wen is just being too polite!" I smiled and comforted Mother Song, then closed my eyes and tried to think of a way to tell Grandmother about it.

But when I got to the gate of my grandmother's courtyard, returned the carriage to my grandmother's house, and returned Miss Vane's salute to my grandmother, I was truly taken aback.

The two bronze chests were both as tall as a person's calf. Inside the chests were actually some jade hairpins with golden hairpins in them. The bracelets were colorful, and the gems shone brilliantly. The other box was filled with thirty to forty ancient books. The title page was a little yellow, so it was hard to find so many rare items in his family's antique shop.

The green bandit saw that the box of ancient books had changed color:

"Miss, how can this be!"

What a sharp person!

No matter how exquisite the jewelry was, it was something that could be bought with money. As for this ancient book collection, it was the most difficult to obtain. It required several generations of treasures to obtain. If one were to bring back such a box, wouldn't that mean that they would take away the person they loved, and would inevitably take advantage of that person? Not to mention that ever since the Sacred Ancestor began, there had been word prisons here and there. Although they weren't large in scale and were concentrated in the south, who knew when they would burn their own heads!

"Since they gave it to us, we might as well keep it!" Lan Yu didn't mind, smiling as he squatted down to look through the books in the box.

This maid had followed the green bandit for a long time, and had already read the 'Three Character Classic' and 'The Hundred Families'. However, she had lost a bit of experience in the matters of the world.

"Go!" Get a carriage outside, then get a few women to bring the box of books back to Miss Wen! " I hastily instructed the two maidservants to close the box.

The green bandit curtsied and walked out of the courtyard.

"Wait!" I suddenly remembered that Miss Wen had told me that the entrance of the house was being guarded by Second Young Madam Fu. I hastily called two maids over.

Seeing the two maidservants walk out, I didn't hear my words at all. I hastily pointed to a young maidservant beside me. "Go, quickly call them back!"

Although that rich Second Young Madam was impetuous in her actions, she was still a rich merchant in the end, so she might have some idea of the value of this book. If I send it back like this, not only will Miss Wen lose her face, but she will also make me lose my reputation as someone who can take advantage of someone else!

Two maidservants stood in front of me, followed by four or five stout women carrying boxes into my grandmother's inner room.

Grandmother was playing with a pile of colorful little clothes and socks on the table with her reading glasses. When she saw me enter, she laughed and said, "I heard that you were busy outside for a long time. Why did you only come in now?"

"All of you, go out!" I waved to the people in my grandmother's room, and she nodded slightly.

When everyone in the room had left, Grandmother and I told her everything we had seen and heard that day in detail. We then opened the box and showed Grandmother what was inside.

Not only did Grandmother not rebuke me as I thought, but there was also a faint smile on her face.

"Then what are you going to do with the two boxes?"

Why did my grandmother's first words were not to blame me for being nosy, but to ask me what to do with this thank-you gift.

"Granddaughter doesn't have any good ideas." I lowered my eyelids. "I just wanted to bring Grandmother to Miss Wen's house when she went to Fourth Aunt's place. When Lady Wen returned home, she would enter those boxes without anyone noticing."

Grandmother slightly shook her head. "I've given you a thank-you gift. If you return just like I did, what will you think?"

Right, didn't this mean that they were going to cut off all ties!

"Why not leave that golden artifact behind and return the book to its owner?" I thought of something while I sat on the kang in front of my grandmother and beat my legs.

"Child, you are still too young!" Grandmother smilingly squinted. "Why don't you pack all the gold and silver toys in your family box and find a similar ancient book to return it to her. It will both help you build a good relationship and not ruin your reputation!"

I would like to do that, but there must be …

"This gold and silver item is still okay, but the ancient books are hard to find."

"Look at me!" Grandmother smacked her forehead. "I actually forgot about that!"

"You don't need to care about this matter, I'll take care of it myself."
