I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Yes."

Mrs. Li responded and stood respectfully aside, looking up at Wen Qingzhi from time to time.

Wen Qingzhi noticed her small movements and said, "Sister Li, if you have something to say, just tell me."

After much hesitation, Mrs. Li finally spoke: "Miss, today is the day you marry into the Yuan family... The Yuan family hasn't sent anyone yet..."

She swallowed the rest of the words back and couldn't say them out.

"The marriage won't happen, so don't worry about it, Mrs. Li."

After Wen Qingzhi finished the last mouthful of porridge, she saw Chunyu coming in from outside the door cursing, her little face flushed red and extremely angry.

If you look closely, you can see a conspicuous slap mark on the face.

Seeing Wen Qingzhi eating, she shut up and stood beside her obediently.

Mrs. Li felt distressed when she saw the slap marks on her face, but she did not dare to say anything in front of her master.

"Who hit you in the face?"

Wen Qingzhi asked as she flipped through the account books.

"No, no one hit me. I just bumped into you accidentally."

The spring rain lowered its head and lied.

"Then you are quite amazing, you can print your finger on the face."

Han Yan jokingly said, "If your master is willing to stand up for you, you should speak up. You'll miss it later."

Chunyu pouted, glared at him and said nothing.

"Tell me, who hit me."

Wen Qingzhi's voice became a little colder.

"Yes, it was...someone from the Yuan family who beat me."

Her voice was as small as a mosquito. "I thought the young lady's injury must be very painful, so I wanted to buy her some candied fruit to sweeten her stomach. But unexpectedly, when I passed by the Yuan family, I saw that they were decorated with lights and many people came to congratulate them. It seemed that they were celebrating a wedding..."

She was afraid that Wen Qingzhi would be sad, so she looked up carefully, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"talk."

Wen Qingzhi said.

"I heard that... the young general of the Yuan family's marriage remains the same, but the bride has been changed..."

“Spring rain!”

Mrs. Li scolded her, pulled her to her side and slapped her twice, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Girl, don't take it to heart. Chunyu is ignorant and is just talking nonsense."

Mrs. Li explained to Wen Qingzhi with a look of heartache in her eyes.

"Mrs. Li, don't be so nervous. The Yuan family never planned to marry me, otherwise what happened last night wouldn't have happened."

Wen Qingzhi looked calm and emotionless.

I saw her flipping through the account book page after page, her expression gradually becoming solemn, and her hands holding the account book tightened.

"Did the Yuan family borrow money from the Marquis' Mansion?"

Wen Qingzhi put down the account book and stared at Sister Li. "Sister Li, do you know about this?"

Seeing that she was asking about this, Sister Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "I know a little about this matter. It was handled by Madam Zhang. It happened a few years ago. At that time, the Yuan family was leading troops to fight against Beiliang. The young general of the Yuan family came to see you, saying that the war was urgent and needed some help from the Marquis' Mansion."

"Is it a loan, or a favor? If it's a loan, do you have an IOU?"

"Yes, I found the IOU this morning at Madam Zhang's place and put it away. If you need it, I'll go get it right away."

"There's no rush yet."

Wen Qingzhi recalled carefully, hoping to find something related to this period from 'Wen Qingzhi's' memory.

She closed her eyes tightly and thought hard with gritted teeth.

It seems like there really is such a period...

Yuan Shao came in person at the beginning, but he had no choice but to borrow money because the two of them were engaged.

Wen Qingzhi was childish at the time and said she didn't need to pay him back, but Yuan Shao was stubborn and said he never owed anyone anything, and he wrote an IOU to Wen Qingzhi...

But, not a penny has been paid back till now.

Okay, okay, isn’t this obviously a scumbag who wants to eat up all the family wealth?

"Han Yan, come out with me."

She put down the account book and told Mrs. Li to get the IOU left by the Yuan family.

"Miss Wen, are you... coming to collect a debt?"

Han Yan looked at her eagerly, as if he thought it was a good opportunity to watch the fun.

"Xing owes money, so I can't collect it?"

Wen Qingzhi sneered, "Haven't you seen what the Marquis' Mansion is like now? The money he borrowed is enough for me to live a good life for many years."

That’s almost half of the Marquis’s money!

A full hundred thousand taels!

"Han Yan, how does your Kung Fu compare to Yuan Shao's?"

Han Yan became serious and said, "If we want to fight to the death, how about 50-50?"

"That's not bad, but you don't have to fight hard."

She smiled, with faint dimples at the corners of her mouth, almost stunning Han Yan.

She said: "Today is the Yuan family's wedding, so naturally I don't want to embarrass myself."

"But just going there would be enough to embarrass them."

"but……"

Han Yan asked, "Whose family is this girl who would marry into the Yuan family? And she would marry you on your wedding day knowing that you are already engaged to him..."

"She never intended to marry me. Today's wedding must have been a wedding dress made for someone else."

Wen Qingzhi smiled, "Originally, they were certain that I would die. A bride without anyone to look after her can die, but the Yuan family's wedding cannot be interrupted."

"This is a gift from the emperor. Aren't they afraid of being blamed?"

"The Yuan family is currently in the emperor's favor, and the higher-ups won't really blame them for an orphan girl. At most, they'll be fined a few months' salary."

This is what really made Wen Qingzhi angry.

'Wen Qingzhi's' life means nothing.

After listening to Wen Qingzhi's words, Han Yan remained silent.

When Mrs. Li brought the IOU over and went out with Wen Qingzhi, he said, "Don't worry, Miss Wen, I will protect you at all costs."

Wen Qingzhi looked back at him and smiled.

Despite his young age, his tone is quite sophisticated.

Wen Qingzhi would never believe in something like risking one's life to protect someone.

After going out, the few of them walked on the street, attracting a lot of strange looks.

Chunyu said to Wen Qingzhi worriedly, "Miss, how about I hire a carriage for you? There are a lot of people on the street, let's-"

"No need."

Wen Qingzhi interrupted her and said, "It's not us who are wrong, what are we afraid of?"

She turned her head, looked at Chunyu's swollen face, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chun Yu was flattered and shook her head happily, "My skin is thick, no, it doesn't hurt!"

Her daughter cares about her!

Hehehe, that’s great!

Seeing her silly smile, Wen Qingzhi was helpless, "Silly."

"Who hit you? Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

"It's... Nanny Xia from the General's Mansion."

It's that old woman again!

good very good!

Wen Qingzhi narrowed her eyes, revealing a dangerous look. Even Han Yan couldn't help but take two steps back.

She has a murderous aura!

A martial artist like Han Yan would never mistake something like murderous aura!

But, how could she, a girl in the boudoir, reveal murderous intent...?

He doesn't understand.

But then I thought, anyone who encounters such a ridiculous thing would be angry, right?

Therefore, he could also accept the fact that Wen Qingzhi showed murderous intent.

Several people came to Yuan's house with confidence and saw that the door was decorated with lights and it was very lively. There were also many people coming and going to give gifts.

"Don't tell me, it's quite lively."

Han Yan looked around and said, "I'm really curious, whose girl would marry General Yuan at this time?"
