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

Hearing her say that, Old Madam Wen became somewhat displeased.

Originally, I was thinking of taking Wen Yuanshu there to relax. Taking Wen Qinglan along would be fine, but if I brought the whole Yang family along, what would be the point of relaxing? It would just be a change of scenery for socializing, which would be so boring.

Seeing that Madam Wen looked unhappy, Wen Yuanshu said, "Mother, don't be angry. The Yang family treated Qinglan like this, so it's okay for us to be a little cold to them. It's a good opportunity to teach them a lesson."

Although Wen Qinglan came over and said that Yang Xun seemed unaware of the concubine's double-dealing, Wen Yuanshu did not believe it.

Yang Xun never does anything serious all day long. How could he not know what his wife is thinking?

It's simply a matter of turning a blind eye; they don't want to get involved unless things escalate.

This is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson and show him what's what.

Hearing her say that, Old Madam Wen finally felt a little better.

She's not good at socializing, but ignoring people is something she's used to doing.

After appeasing one of them, Wen Yuanshu turned and left.

As for the Yang family, everything went exactly as Wen Yuanshu had predicted.

Wen Qinglan went to report to Old Madam Yang, and Old Madam Yang was indeed intrigued, so she immediately called Yang Xun over as well.

"Going to the Taoist temple outside the city with the Wen family?" Yang Xun's brow twitched.

He subconsciously looked at Wen Qinglan.

Wen Qinglan shook her head: "I went to visit my cousin today and heard about it from her. She asked me if I wanted to come along, and I couldn't refuse in front of her, so I agreed."

Yang Xun's expression turned ugly for a moment.

Firstly, there wasn't much to do at the Taoist temple outside the city, and secondly, he felt a little guilty about going out with the Wen family.

Seeing Yang Xun's reluctance, Madam Yang said, "Even if the Marquis and the heir of the Wen family don't go, the Wen family is ruled by the women, and the Lu family's Madam Lu goes without saying. If you show your face in front of them, maybe the Wen family will help you out. Otherwise, it's not a long-term solution for you to just waste your time at home. You have to find something to do."

Yang Xun sighed and had no choice but to agree.

As the couple left Madam Yang's courtyard, Wen Qinglan said, "I need to send someone to tell my cousin. Husband, please do as you please."

After saying that, Wen Qinglan took the lead and prepared to leave.

However, Yang Xun caught up in two steps: "Qinglan, you are pregnant, you should not overwork yourself. I can have someone do this little thing. I will go back with you to rest."

Looking at the earnest concern on his face, Wen Qinglan felt a chill in her heart.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she had seen Yang Xun, and a long time since she had seen such an expression on his face.

“No need,” Wen Qinglan said. “My husband is busy with many affairs every day. There is no need for him to worry about such a small matter.”

After saying that, Wen Qinglan continued walking away.

Yang Xun sighed and quickly chased after him.

Yang Xun was, after all, Wen Qinglan's husband. Wen Qinglan didn't want to, and dared not, have too much of a falling out with him. After some sweet words, Wen Qinglan finally calmed down.

For the next two days, Yang Xun did not leave Wen Qinglan's courtyard, and the two seemed to have rediscovered some of the sweetness they had before their marriage.

Two days later, early in the morning, the entire Yang family was ready and waiting for the Wen family to come and call them.

It's unclear what went wrong with the Wen family; it was already halfway through the morning before they finally sent someone over.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, the Yang family members disembarked from their carriages.

At that time, the Wen family members had just come out of the mansion.

Yang Xun's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Chengyuan walking at the back.

He stepped forward and greeted Lu Chengyuan familiarly, "Brother-in-law."

However, Lu Chengyuan only glanced at him indifferently and didn't even respond.

Although Yang Xun lost face, he couldn't lash out.

Old Madam Yang took this in and looked at Old Madam Wen with a more cautious gaze: "Older sister, what's wrong with the young master?"
