May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

The Wen family members are all quite formidable!

Wen Yuanshu rode in a carriage and went straight back to the Wen family.

Wen Heng and Madam Wen had already returned and were sitting in the front hall. When they saw Wen Yuanshu return, they went to greet her together.

"Yuan Shu!" Old Madam Wen was quite frightened.

When the couple returned, they heard that Wen Yuanshu had gone to find Hu Yanzhuo. They were so anxious that they wanted to go there on the spot, but Wen Yuanshu had already left someone at home. They managed to persuade the two elders to stay.

Seeing her return safely, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief.

"You child, you're getting more and more ambitious!" Old Madam Wen was furious and slapped Wen Yuanshu's hand. "Who is Hu Yanzhuo? How dare you go to him yourself!"

Wen Yuanshu felt rather aggrieved: "Mother, I didn't go alone."

She also brought Chunhua, two bodyguards, and a bunch of servants with her.

"Still talking back!" Old Madam Wen glared at her.

Wen Yuanshu pursed her lips and looked at Wen Heng for help.

Wen Heng coughed and averted his gaze.

Unable to rely on her father, Wen Yuanshu took Old Madam Wen's arm and softened her tone, pleading, "Mother, I only lost my composure because I was anxious. Please don't upset yourself..."

Old Madam Wen looked at her helplessly.

Over the years, as long as Wen Yuanshu acts coquettishly towards her like this, she can't get angry at all.

Old Madam Wen knew she couldn't spoil her like this, but after several attempts, she finally just took her hand and rubbed the reddened area twice: "Did it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Wen Yuanshu shook her head.

Old Madam Wen sighed and pulled Wen Yuanshu to sit down nearby: "You child, you can't do this again. You have no idea how worried I was!"

Wen Yuanshu felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

She nodded: "Don't worry, Mother, it won't happen again."

Wen Heng finally spoke with relief: "Yuan Shu, how was your trip there?"

Now, if we want to save Wen Jing, starting with Hu Yanzhuo is indeed the best way.

His pleading with the emperor would have limited effect; if Huyan Zhuo persisted, the emperor would likely still take action against Wen Jing.

As soon as Wen Heng finished speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Old Madam Wen: "How dare you ask!"

If he hadn't interfered, Lu Chengyuan might not have taken Wen Jing away at all!

Seeing that his words had reignited Madam Wen's anger, Wen Heng turned to Wen Yuanshu for help.

Wen Yuanshu snorted softly, decisively shifting her gaze and pretending not to see it.

Madam Wen's anger finally found an outlet.

It's pitiful that a dignified General of the Cavalry is now being scolded so much that he can't even lift his head.

Seeing that Old Madam Wen had vented her anger, Wen Heng skillfully seized the opportunity and stepped forward to soothe her, saying, "Don't be angry. Yuan Shu has already returned from Hu Yanzhuo's place, so she must have gained something."

"If there's any success, it's because my daughter is capable; you're just benefiting from it!"

"Yes, yes, I'll take advantage of this." Wen Heng quickly gave Wen Yuanshu a look. "Yuanshu, what did that guy say?"

After all, he was her own father, so Wen Yuanshu played along and said at the right moment, "Mother, don't worry, he has promised me that he won't make things difficult for my brother."

Now, Old Madam Wen became interested: "What did you say in the past?"

Wen Yuanshu then recounted the events at the guesthouse in the capital.

Old Madam Wen listened with a proud expression. After Wen Yuanshu finished speaking, Old Madam Wen turned to look at Wen Heng and said triumphantly, "Look at my daughter!"

Wen Heng's face was also full of smiles: "Just as intelligent as you."

“Of course,” Madam Wen smiled so broadly her eyes were almost closed. “Since Hu Yanzhuo has said so, then your brother should be fine too. Cheng Yuan is taking care of him over there, so we don’t need to worry!”

Upon hearing her mention Lu Chengyuan, Wen Yuanshu's expression changed slightly.

Madam Wen sensed something was wrong, patted her hand, and said, "Alright, you've had a long journey, go back and rest."
