The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Before her marriage, Wen Shiyan did not cause any more trouble. No one told her about her visit to Du Mingxian that day, and the affairs of the inner courtyard were not told to Lord Wen, so he knew nothing.

Until the day of her wedding, this was the first time in a long time that Lord Wen had entered Wen Shiyan's courtyard.

The decorations were arranged very early on, creating a festive atmosphere, with boxes of dowry items to be taken away displayed in the courtyard.

Inside Wen Shiyan's room, Old Madam Wen and several daughters-in-law were present. Wen Shiyan had already tidied up. When everyone saw Lord Wen enter, Second Madam Wen left with several sisters-in-law. Cheng Yu looked at the man she had loved all her life, hesitant to speak.

The old lady was quite angry. "You still know how to come over," she said, her tone rather unfriendly.

"There's something I need to take care of," Lord Wen replied perfunctorily, glancing at Wen Shiyan again. "People from the Imperial Household Department will come to pick you up and then escort you out of the city."

"Father," Wen Shiyan said pitifully, staring at Lord Wen.

After all, he was a child he had watched grow up and had always loved. Wen Daren's heart softened a bit. "When you're out and about, be more careful and always put your own safety first."

"Yes."

Lord Wen had nothing else to say. Just then, a maid came in and said, "Master, someone from the palace has arrived."

"Alright." Lord Wen replied, then looked at Wen Shiyan, "Get ready to go out."

Wen Shiyan nodded gently. Madam Wen, not caring about being angry with Lord Wen, reached out and covered her head with a veil, saying auspicious words. Just then, Lord Wen quietly walked out of Wen Shiyan's courtyard.

Du Mingxian also came over. After all, she was still the eldest daughter of the Wen family. However, before she got close, she saw Lord Wen just come out, and the two met like that.

"Father."

"Hmm, no need to go in. People from the palace have already arrived, and she should go out now."

"it is good."

The father and daughter walked out, and the servants in the courtyard had already begun carrying the dowry towards the front yard. After they reached the front yard, Wen Shiyan arrived shortly afterward.

This marriage was different from the last one. The last marriage involved entertaining guests, but this one did not. Apart from the busy servants and people from the palace, the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, but it was still deserted and quiet.

Because Lord Wen refused to sit with Cheng Yu and be bowed to by Wen Shiyan, he skipped the bowing ceremony and left directly in his carriage afterward.

Whether it was a marriage alliance or not, the procession was quite lively as they left the city, with people from the palace and servants from the Wen family. The wedding procession was quite spectacular.

Cheng Yu kept crying in the front yard until the gate closed. Only then did she reluctantly turn back, wanting to talk to Lord Wen. But when she turned around, he was nowhere to be seen. The two people arranged by the steward forcibly sent Cheng Yu and Old Madam Wen back to their respective courtyards.

This made the two men particularly unhappy, and they both requested to see Lord Wen.

Upon receiving the news, Lord Wen was in Du Mingxian's courtyard, eating pastries that Du Mingxian had made for him. After finishing his meal, he still got up and went to see the two people, first visiting Old Madam Wen.

"You're really something. I'm your mother, and you treat me like this, even trying to have me imprisoned? I was wrong about what happened with Cheng Yu, but in the end, I was only doing it for your own good. Someone as outstanding as you deserves better. If I could do it all over again, I would do the same thing."

"It's just because you are my mother that I only restrict your movements and don't do anything else."

Madam Wen was furious when she heard this. "So what else do you want to do?"

"You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but if you really are doing this for my own good, why would you make me marry Cheng Yu? There are plenty of families with higher social standing than the Cheng family. I remember there were several families willing to marry their daughters to me. In the end, you just want to help the Cheng family, not for my sake."

Although the truth was revealed, the old lady was not at all ashamed, and even more self-righteous, "I am your mother, would you harm me?"

"Then tell me, Mother, what's going on with Shiyan? How could she not be my child? And how do you explain that my biological daughter was sent to the countryside for many years because of a child that wasn't even born yet?"

Even if Madam Wen had a lot of fallacies, she couldn't say anything more when these things were mentioned. She really didn't expect Cheng Yu to have such audacity to do such a thing.

“Mother is getting on in years, it would be best for her to rest peacefully in the courtyard.” Lord Wen added after saying that, “If Mother still wants Cheng Yu to stay in the Wen family, then let her suffer some grievances, or Mother doesn’t have to suffer grievances, I will just send Cheng Yu to jail.”

"You dare? No matter what, she is Shiyan's mother. Shiyan has just gone to marry a foreign ruler, and you want to send her to jail?"

A fierce glint flashed in Lord Wen's eyes. "Why not? Putting aside Shi Yan, even if she used the bastard in her womb to harm my offspring, I can still ask the Emperor to help me get revenge. If it's for the sake of Shi Yan's marriage alliance, I can do it secretly."

“I am a trusted minister of the Emperor. I am not afraid of the Emperor knowing about these scandals. I just need to vent my anger. My mother thinks that the Cheng family raised such a daughter. After I said these things to the Emperor, how can the descendants of the Cheng family have a good life?”

Madam Wen was filled with hatred and regret, but what could she do?

"Alright, as you say, I'll stay in the courtyard. Just give her a place to stay."

“Mother is willing to cooperate, and I am willing to give her face.” After saying this, Lord Wen left. Old Madam Wen wanted to scold Lord Wen for being unfilial, but these things were all out in the open, and there was no point in her saying anything.

After leaving Madam Wen's courtyard, Lord Wen composed himself and went to see Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was placed under house arrest, but she didn't have the same good fortune as the old lady. She used to have several servants in her courtyard, but she gave them to Wen Shiyan to take away, leaving only two maids by her side.

Servants are used to reading their masters' expressions and acting accordingly. Ever since the management of the household was handed over to Madam Wen, Lord Wen has not come to Cheng Yu's courtyard again. Some rumors have spread among the servants that Madam Wen did something that angered Lord Wen, and that he will never go to her courtyard again.

The housekeeper gave the kitchen an order to halve the food, clothing, and other necessities in Cheng Yu's courtyard.

After Wen Shiyan returned from her divorce from the Feng family, both she and her mother lived a miserable life. Later, because Wen Shiyan was going to marry a foreign ruler, only the food, clothing and daily necessities in Wen Shiyan's courtyard were restored, while Cheng Yu's were not.

In the past, if they had money, even if the household gave them little, they could send their servants out to buy things. But now, without money, Cheng Yu is living the most difficult life she has ever had since birth.

Before Wen Shiyan got married, she would go to Wen Shiyan's place to eat every day. Now that her daughter is gone, she's afraid life will be even harder.
