After the New Year, Aunt Xu came again.

Although Aunt Xu still had a look of disdain towards Wen Yan last time, her attitude completely changed this time.

It is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and the weather is particularly warm today. The snow has begun to melt and the ground has become a little muddy.

Although Nanny Xu came in a carriage, her feet were still covered in mud when she arrived at Wen Yan's door.

She didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore. When she saw Wen Yan opening the door, the smile on her face turned into a flattering one: "Madam Wen, you have also spent the New Year here. Can you go to the capital with me now? Our old lady misses you so much that she wrote to me and asked me to take you there."

Wen Yan glanced at the carriage behind her.

Madam Xu immediately moved aside and slapped herself on the mouth: "Madam Wen, it's all my fault. I rented the worst carriage because of such a small amount of money. Now I know I was wrong. This is the best carriage you can buy in Xiahe Town. It is covered with soft furs, all of the best."

"You're really paying attention this time." Wen Yan said with a half-smile.

The smile on Aunt Xu's face froze for a moment, and then she smiled even more: "Do you mean to go with me?"

Wen Yan nodded slightly: "Of course, didn't Mammy say she would take me to the capital to enjoy life? How could I refuse?"

Aunt Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was sent by a big family, and she was very good at handling things. "Miss Wen, you can just call me Aunt Xu. When do you plan to leave? I'll come pick you up."

She didn't dare to urge Wen Yan anymore, for fear that she would not do something well and make Wen Yan angry again.

Wen Yan had almost packed her things. She walked over to take a look at the carriage. After confirming that it could accommodate two people, she shouted to the inside: "Dong Ling, let's go."

Wen Yangu followed Wan Dongling and was helping her carry a heavy book box.

The last time Aunt Xu came, Wen Yangu knew why Wen Yan was unwilling to tell him last time. This child actually wanted to go deep into the tiger's den.

Wen Yangu certainly disagreed, but when he heard that the people of the Yang family were still determined to kill Yang and even hired assassins to kill Yang, he was speechless for a long time.

Being angry is also sad.

Yang is in this state now. I wonder how much has happened to her.

When Aunt Xu saw a girl who looked somewhat similar to Wen Yan coming out of the room, she smiled even more, "Is this Madam Wen's daughter? She's so beautiful."

If Wen Yan's appearance is mature and gentle, then Wan Dongling is like a lively little bamboo, with a strong character, tender and upright, which inadvertently adds a tough temperament to her face.

Wen Yan glanced at Aunt Xu, "Are you happy?"

The smile on Aunt Xu's face froze, and then she immediately said, "The old lady would be very happy to see you and your daughter. Our Yang family hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Wen Yan looked at her deeply.

He did not get on the carriage immediately, but said to Wen Yangu, "Dad, take good care of yourself at home."

"Okay, no matter when you come back, Dad welcomes you."

"it is good."

Wen Yan got on the carriage and officially went to the capital.

Wen Yan is not worried about Wen Yangu. Xiang Yun said that before leaving, he will find someone to look after this place and will not give that group of people any chance to take advantage.

It would take a long time to get to the capital. Wen Yan spent the whole day eating and sleeping, but she was still shaken by the carriage.

Fortunately, Wan Dongling was there. She read to Wen Yan, sometimes some short stories, sometimes some poems, so it wasn't boring.

After half a month, the group finally arrived in the capital.

Wen Yan had come here once before, and she was disguised as a Taoist nun that time. Different times, different moods.

Suddenly the carriage stopped and there was a commotion outside.

Wen Yan lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"

The driver replied: "It seems that someone is causing trouble ahead."

Wen Yan looked into the distance and could vaguely see that two people were arguing.

One of them seemed to be the shop owner in this shop, and the other one was leading a horse, wearing luxurious clothes, and was a rich young man from ancient times.

The shopkeeper shouted, "Everyone, come and judge for me. This man and his accomplices stole things from my shop without paying! Everyone, judge for me! There are five rolls of silk in total. If he doesn't pay now, who will?"

The young man looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was handsome, but his eyes were very clear. He was very confused when he saw the scene in front of him. "I didn't take anything from your store!"

"You still say you didn't take it?" The shopkeeper pulled the young man's clothes tightly, "Was the man in black clothes with you just now?"

The young master still didn't react, "Yes, they are together... He said he has a good horse and wants to take me to see it..."

The shopkeeper seized the loophole in his mouth and said, "What about the horse? There should be a limit to your nonsense, right?"

The nobleman's eyes turned red: "I don't know."

The shopkeeper had never seen a grown man cry so easily. Seeing him like this, he probably thought he had been cheated, so he couldn't help but say, "Forget it, forget it. Five rolls of silk, a total of one hundred taels of silver, give me all the money and I'll let you go."

The young master was in an even more embarrassed situation. Normally, his money came from his followers, and he had just sent his followers to buy him food. Now he was alone.

Seeing his expression, the shopkeeper had nothing to understand. "No way, young master, what you are wearing doesn't look like a poor man. How can you not even take out a hundred taels?"

Wan Dongling retracted her gaze and said to Wen Yan, "It seems that he has been tricked. This kind of deception is not uncommon."

Wen Yan nodded slightly, "This child is really pitiful. I think he forgot to bring money. Dong Ling, go and pay him."

Wan Dongling nodded and took the money over. "I'll give you the 100 taels on his behalf. Don't make things difficult for him. Let him go."

Yuan Lu was about to cry when he suddenly saw a slender, white and tender hand through his tearful eyes. He was stunned and looked at the owner of the hand infatuatedly.

A very beautiful girl.

Wan Dongling is not someone who would give money away for free. She only gave money to help this young man out of trouble. "Boss, this young man must have been cheated. I believe you can see that, but I don't give money for free. You should report to the government as soon as possible. Maybe you can get it back. If you do, remember to return the one hundred taels."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed. How could he not see that the man in front of him was actually cheated? But he also needed the money, and he couldn't just give it away for nothing.

Wan Dongling did not expose his thoughts, but turned to the young man and said, "Go away, and don't trust others so easily in the future."

Yuan Lu stared at Wan Dongling's back in a daze. After her carriage had left, he belatedly murmured, "I forgot to ask her name. How am I going to pay you back in the future?"

Not long after, Yuan Lu's servant came over with a lotus leaf chicken in his hand: "Master, I bought the lotus leaf chicken from the south of the city that you wanted to eat. It's still hot."

Seeing his master staring blankly into the distance, Xiao Ye couldn't help but wave in front of him: "Master? Master! Fifth Prince!!"

Yuan Lu came to his senses and immediately scolded: "Don't shout so loudly! We are outside the palace!"

Little Leaf muttered, "It's because you were in a daze the whole time. You didn't respond after I called you for a long time."

Yuan Lu smiled foolishly, "There is a beauty, I will never forget it after seeing her."
