After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

As soon as Wen Zehai went out to attend court, Qu immediately became busy.

Today, because Wen Qianqian went to school with Wen Chengzhi, she didn't have to worry about taking care of Wen Qianqian.

Of course, Qu was not completely reassured, so she sent the dowry guards to secretly protect Wen Qianqian in school.

This way, she can do her work with peace of mind.

When the servants came to report that Wen Zehai had gone far away, she immediately ordered the servants she brought from the Prime Minister Fu to keep an eye on the old lady and Wen Zehai's people, and keep them in their own courtyard and not allow them to go out.

The statement used was that the fact that the old lady was beaten with a stick should not be spread outside, and they should just calm down and take good care of her.

Soon Ginkgo came in and reported.

"Young lady, the lord and the old lady's people are all under surveillance and will not leave their yard. We can start preparing now."

"Are they suspicious?"

"No." Ginkgo smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the old lady and the others. They had to play such a trick yesterday to make them believe that you detained them for the old lady's sake."

"That's good. Put up wedding characters everywhere, especially on the door of the mansion. Decorate it well so that everyone knows that there is a happy event in our mansion today."

"Yes."

Qu was also not idle, she personally helped to prepare the banquet.

The guests she invited were those who had come to celebrate Wen Zehai's promotion to the rank of thousand households the day before. There were not many tables, only five.

But for taking a concubine, it is decent enough.

What's more, Wen Zehai is only a fifth-rank captain.

The capital city is full of fifth-rank officials. If a bowl falls from the sky, four of them will be found to be fifth-rank officials.

This arrangement is the most suitable.

Wen Zehai usually left court at 9:00 p.m., which left Qu with a lot of time to prepare, but not too little either.

Fortunately, with the help of people from the Qu family, things went very smoothly.

Soon, the entire Wen residence was filled with a festive red color.

Someone passing by asked curiously: "What kind of wedding is this?"

The doorman was from the Qu family. He said with a smile, "My master wants to take a concubine!"

"Concubinage?"

The man was stunned and said, "Didn't Lord Wen swear to never take a concubine when he asked to marry the lady from the Qu family?"

"Who knows? We dare not discuss matters of the higher-ups!"

The servant's ambiguous answer made the man leave shaking his head.

And Qu had arranged for a tour to spread the news early in the morning.

The wandering Beggars' Gang had extensive connections, and soon many people in the capital knew that Wen Zehai had broken his promise to the Qu family.

The men in the teahouse had a new topic today.

"Have you heard? Captain Wen is going to take a concubine!"

"I know. Men are all like this. They like someone at the time, but they can't guarantee that they will like him forever."

"But Wen Zehai is different. He was born a peasant. If it weren't for the Qu family, how could he have become a thousand households today?"

"I heard that he was promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households this time, and it was also a reward that Prime Minister Qu asked for from Your Majesty."

"If that's the case, then Captain Wen is really a piece of shit! If it were me, I would definitely worship the Qu family as my ancestor and never dare to take a concubine. Isn't that ruining my own future?"

"Perhaps Mrs. Qu is too easy to talk to, otherwise Captain Wen wouldn't dare to do this! Tsk tsk, he really made a mistake and married the wrong person, ruining his life!"

"It's just that kind people are often bullied. If it were my guy, he would have eaten me!"

"It was reported the other day that Qu Shi was having a hard time in the Wen family. Her mother-in-law treated her harshly all day long!"

"There's still this? What is Qu waiting for? Waiting for the New Year?"

The tea drinkers had different opinions, all blaming Wen Zehai for his meanness and sympathizing with Qu's naivety.

No one noticed that a handsome man sitting at the most remote tea table listened to them for a long time, then suddenly stood up, put down five cents and left quietly.

When he reached the door, two beggars immediately came forward.

"Gang leader."

Yunyou nodded gently: "It's almost done, it can be passed to that woman's ears."

"Yes."

The two beggars looked at each other and walked quickly towards the east side of the capital.

Soon the two arrived at Xiangshun Lane.

Wen Zehai bought his private residence here, and the Han family of three also lived here.

Inside the house, Han was watching with great distress as her maid was burning an extremely gorgeous dress.

This dress was exactly the one she put on Wen Miaoxue on the day she entered the palace.

This dress is extremely heavy and valuable, but the old lady sent a message yesterday asking her to burn the dress.

She was reluctant, but had to do it.

"Madam, don't be sad. It's just a piece of clothing after all. When you go to your house in the future, there will be plenty of clothes like this. You can change new ones for Miss Miaoxue every day."

The maidservant was trying to comfort her.

She bought it when Wen Zehai and Han were on their way to the capital.

At first, she was somewhat disdainful of Han.

Just a mistress!

But now she has thought it through clearly. Only when Han is well, can she follow suit.

Only when Han entered the Wen Mansion would her life have hope.

Maybe in the future she can become a top-notch maid in Qianhu Mansion.

If she could be matched with a high-ranking guard, her life would be worth it.

So after realizing this one day, the maid Cui Xi paid extra attention to everything, and Han became more and more satisfied with her.

Sure enough, after Cui Xi's persuasion, Han felt much better.

"You're right. Our Miaoxue is going to be the queen in the future. She can choose the best clothes in the world. It's just a piece of clothing. You really don't need to take it to heart."

"Madam, you are right to think so. We still have a long time to live!"

"Um……"

As the master and servant were talking, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Why is it so chaotic outside?"

"I will go and take a look."

Cui Xi burned the last corner of her clothes, lifted up her skirt and ran out.

After a while, Cui Xi came back with a pale face.

Han saw that her face was not right, frowned and asked: "What happened?"

"lady……"

Cui Xi held Han's hand and said, "I told you to stay calm."

Han's brows furrowed even more tightly, and she became anxious.

"What happened? Tell me now!"

"The people walking outside are beggars. They said they were going to the Wen Mansion to beg for money."

"What wedding money?"

"The master is going to take a concubine, and a noble concubine at that!"

Han's legs went weak and she would have nearly collapsed to the ground if Cui Xi hadn't supported her in advance.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Han's face turned pale, but she grabbed Cui Xi's collar.

"What did you say? Say it again! Are you sure? Dahai is going to take a concubine?"

Cui Xi nodded with difficulty.

"I didn't believe it either. I confirmed it with them several times and even gave them some silver. They said they were right. It was the Lord Wen who had just been promoted to the rank of Qian Hu that was going to take a concubine."

Han's eyes went dark and he fainted.

"Madam! Madam!"

Cui Xi's exclamation was heard from the yard.

The beggars outside heard it and ran out of the alley laughing.
