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

Both Wen Qingzhi and the emperor got the results they wanted, so the meeting ended happily.

The emperor said that he remembered their old relationship and felt sorry for Wen Jiazhong and her future, so he rewarded her with some jewelry.

Wen Qingzhi got on the carriage and said to Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, I want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"it is good."

The emperor ordered them to leave the palace together, so Wen Qingzhi naturally had to go back to the marquis' mansion to receive the order.

The carriage was shaking constantly on the road, and Wen Qingzhi felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage came to a complete stop, and Xiao Yi's voice came from the side, "Azhi, we're here."

Along the way, Xiao Yi's heart was never at peace.

His thoughts were in a mess, and he thought thoroughly about everything that had happened to Wen Qingzhi and the Wen family over the years.

All these years...has he missed something?

Wen Qingzhi stepped out of the carriage and landed on the ground. Xiao Yi wanted to reach out to help her, but before he could reach out, he retracted his hand.

There were many people standing in front of the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion, including common people from the capital and clan servants.

It looks like they are here to watch the fun.

As soon as Wen Qingzhi got off the carriage, everyone started pointing and talking, making a lot of noise and talking at once.

"I heard that the girl from the Wen family lost her virginity before marriage and was abducted."

"Will the Yuan family still want her?"

"Poor thing, Miss Wen is the only one left in the Wen family. Who on earth could be so heartless?"

……

"Don't take gossip to heart."

Xiao Yi was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after hearing this, so he sent people to disperse the onlookers.

In your heart?

How could she go in if she didn't even have a heart?

Looking at the cautious Xiao Yi, Wen Qingzhi just found it funny.

This person clearly cared about "herself", but he tried to avoid suspicion everywhere. Even when calling her "Azhi", he dared to speak in a low voice.

She walked to the door, but it was still closed. Xiao Yi's subordinates went forward and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door was opened from the inside.

The man who opened the door grabbed his back with one hand and picked his teeth with the other. He picked out a piece of vegetable and threw it out.

Wen Qingzhi thought for a few seconds and realized that this was his family's doorman, Zhang Liu, a relative of Aunt Zhang.

He is the one who looks down on Wen Qingzhi the most and even wants to bully/humiliate her several times.

"How dare you come back? You've been gone all night. Which wild man have you been fooling around with?"

He looked at Wen Qingzhi, her small face, the one he thought about day and night and that appeared frequently in his dreams.

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Yi angrily scolded, "You bold and cunning slave, who are you to speak to the daughter of the Wen family in such a way?"

The fist clenched in his sleeve seemed ready to hit the face of the person in front of him at any time.

The man stared at Xiao Yi intently, his drowsy eyes gradually becoming clearer. He hurried over and knelt before Xiao Yi, "Your humble servant greets the prefect!"

"roll!"

Xiao Yi was filled with anger. This slave knew to kowtow when he saw him, but acted condescending when he saw Wen Qingzhi.

He has been busy with official duties in the past two years, and Wen Qingzhi is engaged, so they rarely interact with each other. He didn't expect that she was living this kind of life!

Wen Qingzhi didn't say anything. After entering the mansion, she watched the servants come out one by one and salute Xiao Yi.

"girl!"

A little maidservant, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing light grey clothes and with her hair in buns, ran out and threw herself on her, "Woo woo, young lady, you're finally back!"

The little maid raised her head, her face covered with snot and tears, her eyes red and swollen, sobbing, "Wow, it's my fault, I didn't take good care of you!"

She remembered that the little maid was called Chunyu, and was the personal maid left to her by her mother.

He is well-behaved, obedient, willing to endure hardships, and loyal to her.

In the Marquis' Mansion where everyone looks down on Wen Qingzhi, Chunyu is the only one who treats her as a lady.

Because of this, she was disliked by others and lived as miserable a life as Wen Qingzhi.

Her collision almost knocked Wen Qingzhi down, but fortunately Xiao Yi supported her from behind and prevented her from falling.

"Your girl is injured and can't stand your hitting."

Hearing this, Chunyu looked up and saw the horrifying scar on Wen Qingzhi's forehead. She cried out "wow" and cried even louder.

"Miss, wuwu, why are you so badly injured? Does it hurt? This servant, this servant, will go get you a doctor right away!"

She turned around and was about to run to find a doctor, but was stopped by Wen Qingzhi.

She has a terrible headache and needs to rest.

"Lord Xiao sent someone to check it out, and it's nothing serious. I'm very tired, take me to rest."

She turned back to look at Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, you've seen what's going on in the mansion. I want to borrow two people from you to help me guard the door."

"it is good."

Xiao Yi agreed and raised his hand to call people forward, "These two are my capable subordinates, Han Shuo and Han Yan."

"You two will stay in the Marquis' Mansion for the time being and obey Miss Wen's orders."

"Yes!"

"Meet Miss Wen!"

Wen Qingzhi hummed, "Chunyu, help me go back and rest."

She felt dizzy and was afraid that she would faint in the next second.

"Yes Yes!"

Chunyu supported her and walked towards her courtyard. She glanced back at the two people following behind her and hesitated, "Miss, it's not good to have a man from outside the courtyard..."

"It doesn't matter."

Wen Qingzhi walked unsteadily to her dilapidated courtyard. The moment she entered the house and got on the bed, she relaxed completely and fell asleep on the bed.

The window paper of the dilapidated courtyard rustled in the wind. It was late autumn now, and the maple leaves in the yard were red and looked like blood when they fell to the ground.

"Has the Marquis' Mansion fallen into decline?"

Han Yan suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Chunyu was startled and met Han Yan's dark eyes.

She hesitated again and again, biting her lips, but couldn't squeeze out a word.

"Don't bite it, it will rot if you bite it again."

Han Yan is only eighteen years old this year and has an active personality, which is completely different from his brother Han Shuo's cold personality.

He is active and playful.

Being reminded by Han Yan, Chun Yu's face instantly turned red, and she stumbled when she spoke, "No, no!"

"The Marquis' Mansion is not in decline!"

Yes, she is not in a bad state, but her daughter is a fool and everything in the family is decided by Aunt Zhang.

Even the courtyard where the girl lived before was taken away by Nanny Zhang, leaving the girl with a corner to live in.

But she didn't dare say this, she couldn't say it.

The person in front of me... I don’t know if I can trust him. What if he is in cahoots with Aunt Zhang?

She has suffered enough losses and cannot bear it anymore...

"Not in such a state of poverty, your daughter lives in such a shabby yard?"

Han Yan pointed at the broken window paper and said, "My brother and I live in a better place than your daughter."

“Han Yan!”

Han Shuo scolded, "Don't talk too much."

Han Yan said "Oh" and secretly retreated to Han Shuo's side, guarding him obediently.

Several people stood at the door until evening, but there was no sound from inside the house.

Chunyu was worried about Wen Qingzhi, so he went into the room several times to check on her, and even checked her breath. He only left after finding that her breathing was stable.

Wen Qingzhi slept until the middle of the night. When she woke up, she opened the [Peony Evil], changed the medicine, and came out without disturbing anyone outside. She called Chunyu in and ordered, "Call everyone in the mansion here."
