tten by a mosquito the other day, and it swelled up into a red bump, even worse than in the summer."As the topic began to veer off course, Lanlan cried even louder."Woooo, it's not a bug, it's the cou...In the teahouse, someone said, "What does Wen's family mean Don't want a son anymore!"

"Can't be right The old master of the Wen family was bragging about Sir Wen at a banquet just the other day, calling him a genius, saying that the Wen family had produced a prodigy. Now that his son has made a mistake, they're going to abandon him" said another guest.

The young man carrying the teapot smiled slyly, looking around and whispering, "Who said the Wen family treated Wen Yushi well What I heard is quite different!"

My neighbor's sixth uncle's daughter-in-law's brother-in-law is a go-between. Last year, he took on a job to find a small courtyard for the Li family. The courtyard was registered under the name of the Li family's eldest grandson, but the person living there was Wen Yushi!

“What You’re saying that Wen Yishi now lives in the Li family’s place, not his own” exclaimed one tea guest in surprise.

Everyone else still wanted to ask, but the young man refused to say any more.

Someone, having understood, slipped some copper coins into the boy's hand. Only then did the boy continue, "It's true, if you don't believe me, go ask around! Ever since Mr. Wen returned to Xin Du, he hasn't stayed at his own home for a few days, and has been living in inns both before and after becoming an Imperial Historian."

Perhaps the Li family knew about it, couldn't bear to see it anymore, and didn't want to damage Wen Yushi's reputation, so they came up with this solution...

Some tea guests who weren't residents of Xin Du asked in confusion, "Why is the Li family so kind to Wen Yushi"

The young lads hurried over to pour tea and enthusiastically explained, "The Li family came here fleeing famine from the north. On the way, they met Wen Yushi and helped each other escape. They got along very well, and the eldest grandson of the Li family even took Wen Yushi as his teacher!"

"No wonder, Master Li has been guarding outside the Dali Temple prison all day long, it turns out that Mr. Wen was his son's teacher!" someone suddenly realized.

But some saw through it, "He is still loyal to the Li family, after all, there are many who have learned from others in the world, and few can do so much for their teacher."

"That's right," another person also sighed, "I heard that Old Master Li has a young master by his side today. He looks very handsome, probably the disciple of Wen Yushi."

Young men flitted about between the tables like butterflies, and then said, “The other day I heard that the Wen family is going to marry off Master Wen, but Master Wen seems to disagree, and there's quite a fuss about it…”

"Oh, I've heard about this too!" a guest chimed in. "It seems the woman isn't very gentle, but her family is quite well-off. The Wen family wants to move their eldest son aside and sees this marriage as a way to gain some influence. But Mr. Wen vehemently disagrees, making quite a scene!"

"If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't agree either!" the young man scoffed, "Let me marry a capable wife just so my father-in-law can help my brother It would be better for my brother to marry her then! What use am I to him"

Everyone started laughing, and someone said, “Don’t get so angry. This has nothing to do with you, just a little guy like you, hahaha.”

Thus, with a smile and some laughter, the conversation changed course.

But Wen Jia was partial, favoring the eldest son and treating Wen Yishi harshly, which was well known to everyone.

The Wen family is now shut up tight, ignoring Wen Yushi. There's reason for that.

For three consecutive days, Liu Zhiheng took Mrs. Cui to visit people everywhere, and on the petitions for clemency, he added seven or eight more names.

But they visited the Wen family twice in a row, but were turned away both times.

It is natural for a father to plead on behalf of his son when he makes a mistake. Even if many outsiders join the plea, it ultimately depends on the Wen family to submit the petition.

Having no other choice, Liu Lao Ye, as Wen Yu Shi's master uncle, went to the Wen family himself.

Everyone who heard about this was paying attention.

After all, Old Master Liu and Grand Scholar Cui were natives of Xindu. They had studied together since childhood and entered the capital to take office together. Like brothers, they have always been a beautiful story in Xindu.

After Mrs. Cui's separation, she lived alone in the manor and still received care from the Liu family.

Even though his old friend's disciples are in trouble now, Mr. Liu is still willing to help and run errands for them. It's truly admirable.

On the other hand, the warmth family, even when their own son gets into trouble, still has to rely on outsiders to come to their door and advise them. This is really shameful!

But in this world, there's always a more shameless person than the most shameless one!

Master Liu, accompanied by his son and niece, finally visited the Wen family. However, after only half an hour, the three of them left.

Mrs. Cui's eyes were red from crying, Liu Zhiheng cursed loudly, and Old Master Liu's face was ashen.

They were given to the head of the Wen family, also known as Wen Junyan, who held the rank of a fourth-grade official.

Grandfather Liu seemed to be unable to accept this, and asked loudly, "Junyan, as an old man who has watched you grow up, tell me the truth. Shao Yuan is your brother, your own blood brother! You really don't care about him"

Wen Junyan seemed quite embarrassed, bowing his head in reply: "Uncle Liu, Shao Yuan committed a grave offense. Although he is my younger brother, I am also a fourth-rank official, an imperial subject. I cannot disregard my loyalty to the Emperor just because he is my brother!"

“You’re farting!” Liu Zhiheng immediately got angry, jumping up and shouting, “The Emperor hasn’t convicted Shao Yuan yet, but you are calling him disrespectful! You said you were pleading for your brother, but that’s being disloyal to the Emperor, simply spewing nonsense!”

"Once this gets out, who else would dare to plead for Shao Yuan You won't even save your own brother, and you don't allow others to either. You're heartless, cruel, worse than a beast!"

When Wen Junyan was scolded and pointed at, he became unhappy too. He coldly said, "Our Wen family is helpless, please excuse yourselves."

Grandmother Liu gritted her teeth in anger, stepped forward and pulled her niece, saying: "Jinerou, let's go! Before, I even thought about marrying you to Shaoyuan, after all, he is your father's only disciple. Now it seems that this Wen family is a den of wolves!"

Even if Shao Yuan was a good person, this family is so heartless and cruel. He is definitely not a suitable match!

Mrs. Cui covered her face with a handkerchief and wept, her shoulders shaking violently. It was evident that she was heartbroken.

As they got into the car, the old and young man left Liu Ziheng fuming. He shouted, "Wen Junyan, you deserve to be struck by lightning! You've never been as intelligent as your younger brother, but because you are the eldest son, you've always schemed against him, manipulating the family to suppress him and praise you."

"How much hardship Shao Yuan endured, how many grievances he suffered! To conceal his talents, he remained in the Hanlin Academy, never daring to show himself. Now that he's returned to Xindu and became an Imperial censor, you're uncomfortable again. You forced him to marry a shrew just to pave the way for yourself and get transferred. When Shao Yuan refused, you drove him out of the house, leaving him without even a place to stay!"

"Now that Shao Yuan is in trouble, aren't you the happiest No one will say you're not as good as Shao Yuan anymore! You despicable and shameless wretch, even if you work your whole life, you won't be as good as one finger of Shao Yuan!"

"Everyone's eyes are open today. After this, who would dare to associate with you Even your own brother envies and plots against you! What a magnanimous heart and cunning plan!"

Wen Junyan was pierced in the windpipe, his face finally changed. He wanted to say something, but Liu Zhiheng didn't give him a chance, jumped on the carriage and quickly left.

Wen Junyan looked towards the corner of the street, where a number of people were peering out, clearly having heard what he had just said.

His face darkened even more, and he turned around and went back.th. He let out a long sigh and smiled, “I’m melting! I’ve been dreaming about this bite!”Jia Yin glanced at him, picked up her makeup box, tidied up the small accessories, and smiled, "There are many...
