Mei Xiang hurried over with a few storybooks in her hands, walked through the circuitous corridor, and her goal was the elegant figure on the gazebo.She quickened her pace, walked up the stone bridge, passed the blooming lotus pond, came to the gazebo, and bowed slightly.

"Young master, this servant has brought the scriptures." Mei Xiang whispered to the young man who was sitting on the railing of the pavilion feeding the carp under the lotus pond.

"Put it on the table." Wen Yelan stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to the stone table in the center of the gazebo, his eyes still looking down at the flopping carp in the water.

"Yes." Mei Xiang quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Yelan, feeling in her heart that the young master's feeling has changed since he fell into the lake and woke up a month ago.She carefully placed the stack of notebooks in her hand on the table, then bent over and retreated to the corner.

Wen Yelan threw all the fish and food in his hands into the water, and the hundreds of carps surrounding them started to fight for each other. He clapped his hands, walked slowly to the stone table and sat down.

Mei Xiang took out her handkerchief and stepped forward, Wen Yelan stretched out her hand, and she gently wiped his palm with the silk handkerchief.

"Is Madam awake?" Wen Yelan changed one hand to wipe her, and poured himself a cup of tea with the other hand. He put it under his nose to smell the tea, and then slowly put it between his lips and took a sip. , the richly soaked Biluochun permeates the taste buds, sweet and refreshing.

Mei Xiang lowered her head, kept moving her hands, and answered Wen Yelan's question earnestly: "Reporting to the young master, Madam is not awake yet, sister Mei Qing said Madam slept late at noon today."

"Well, Madam will tell me when she wakes up." Seeing that her hands had been wiped clean, Wen Yelan waved for Mei Xiang to stand aside and pour tea for herself.

Mei Xiang took the purple clay pot, opened the lid, and poured the little tea and tea dregs inside into a small wooden bucket on the side, took out two forefinger Biluochun from the iron box, added it into the pot, and poured Half a pot of hot water.Pour out the tea that was brewed once, and refill it with hot water. After steeping for a while, he poured the hot tea on the teacup and handed it to Wen Yelan.

White hot air was floating on the teacup, Wen Yelan blew on it lightly, and took a sip along the rim of the cup.Mei Xiang stood half a meter away from him, lowering her eyes just enough to see his thin lips flushed red by the hot tea.Wen Yelan stretched out a small section of his tongue and licked his lips lightly. Mei Xiang blushed for no reason when he saw his red lips and teeth, and felt that the young master seemed to be getting more and more handsome.

Wen Yelan took out a notebook from the notebook that Mei Xiang brought and flipped through it casually.He propped his chin back with his right hand, and only half of his waist-length black hair was tied with a light blue hair band. He tilted his body slightly, and his long black hair was spread out on the stone table.

While Wen Yelan was watching in a daze, a little boy who looked anxious ran up in front of the lotus pond.Mei Xiang frowned, walked under the gazebo, and met the flustered servant.

"What happened? In such a hurry?" Mei Xiang asked in a low voice.

The young man approached her and whispered, "Miss Mei Xiang, please inform the young master for me, this slave has a serious matter!"

Mei Xiang frowned and stared at him twice, and said to him: "Wait quietly." After speaking, she turned and walked into the gazebo.

Mei Xiang lowered her head slightly, calling softly to Wen Yelan who was reading the script intently: "Master, Daqing has something important to report."

Wen Yelan stopped turning the pages of the book, he raised his head, his dark eyes fell on the person standing outside the pavilion for a few seconds: "Let him come over." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again, and his eyes fell back on the script.

Mei Xiang folded over her belly, bent over, and walked down the steps to welcome Daqing in.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yelan's voice was clear and low, and the eloquence was pleasant.

Daqing stood in front of the stone table, bowed, looked at Wen Yelan and said cautiously: "Young master, the eldest lady did go to Ju Wanfu this morning to see Mrs. Zhang's family."

"What did they talk about?" Wen Yelan turned over a page of the script, and Mei Xiang handed him the poured tea.

Daqing hesitated for a while before answering: "The eldest lady plans to let the young master marry you."

"The idiot youngest son of the Zhang family?" Wen Yelan's drooping eyes flashed a trace of coldness.

Mei Xiang was very surprised to hear that the eldest lady actually asked the eldest young master to marry the youngest son of the Zhang family?Don't say that Zhang Ding is a man, just say that he is greedy for money and lustful, lingering in brothels and singing prostitutes, his body has been hollowed out, and his face has no color.A few days ago, he even fought with the National People's Congress over a brothel girl, so now he can't even get out of bed.

"Yes... yes..." Daqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It seems that Mrs. Zhang wanted to find someone to discipline her son. After she found out about it, she came to the door and said... let her think about it. Eldest young master."

"Master, this..." Mei Xiang didn't dare to think that the eldest lady would do such a ridiculous thing. Although the eldest young master is not his own son, she can't push the eldest young master into the pit of fire.

Wen Yelan waved his hand, and Mei Xiang shut her mouth worriedly.He looked up at Daqing and asked, "What did Mrs. Zhang say?"

"Mrs. Zhang didn't agree on the spot. She said that she would go back and ask Zhang Ding, and only after Zhang Ding agreed to continue the conversation. After Mrs. Zhang left, the lady's face was very ugly. She dropped the glass and said, young master...you must marry away..."

"Well, I see, you go down and continue to be watched." Wen Yelan's face was expressionless, as if what he heard had nothing to do with him.

Daqing glanced carefully at Wen Yelan, then at Mei Xiang, who shook his head, and he bowed his head and left in salute.

"Mei Xiang, go and see if Madam is awake." Wen Yelan raised her eyes to look at Daqing's leaving back, and said to Mei Xiang.

"Yes, young master." Mei Xiang bowed and hurried out of the gazebo.

Wen Yelan put down the notebook in his hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and sneered.The eldest lady finally couldn't hold back and wanted to force him to leave Wen's house, but it was about the same time as in her previous life.Wen Yelan thought of how in his previous life he learned that the eldest lady was going to force him to marry Zhang Ding, but when he was young, he said impulsively and refused to agree, and the matter finally went to the old man.At that time, the Zhang family also sent a message saying that Zhang Ding refused to marry him. In a rage, the eldest lady rewarded herself with twenty sticks and lay on the bed for half a month.

Zhang Ding has always liked women, so of course he would not marry a man.Wen Yelan was about to turn eighteen at the time, and the eldest lady was anxious, and she found a beggar from nowhere, and forced him to marry him who was still lying on the bed, depriving her of her position as the first son.

Wen Yelan thought of this, and the cup in his hand was crushed into pieces by him.He is the legitimate son of the Wen family, but as soon as his father died, the old man turned his heart towards the concubine, and it became more and more difficult for him and his mother to move forward in the Wen family.If he hadn't been pampered by the old man in his previous life, the eldest lady Pang would never have dared to treat him like that!

Even the heavens let him live a new life, he will never let go of those villains who framed him and his mother.If he doesn't want things from the Wen family, then neither can anyone else!

Half a month passed in a flash.

The Zhang family did not agree to the eldest lady as expected, but only said that Zhang Ding was unwilling.The eldest lady dropped things in the room for half an hour and beat and scolded all the serving maids.

Wen Yelan just chuckled when he heard this from Mei Xiang.

According to Wen Yelan's instructions, Daqing secretly searched for a beggar surnamed Xiao in the capital, but he found nothing until a murder case happened recently.

Wen Yelan was drawing in the study, and Mei Xiang was helping him grind.When Daqing came over, Wen Yelan had already finished half of his painting.Mei Xiang went over to make a pot of hot tea, while Da Qing stood aside, not daring to show his breath, quietly waiting for Wen Yelan to wash his hands.

After Wen Yelan dried her hands and sat on the chair, Mei Xiang handed her a cup of soaked Biluochun.Wen Yelan took it but didn't drink it. He just picked up the teacup, tapped the lid on the rim of the cup a few times, and said, "But did you find someone?"

Da Qing nodded and replied: "Yes, Eldest Young Master, we have found Beggar Xiao. It's just..."

"Huh?" Wen Yelan raised her eyes.

Daqing was swept away by his cold gaze, his heart trembled, and he replied tremblingly: "That's right, there was a murder case in the capital recently, and Beggar Xiao was detained in prison as a murderer. Our people can't get in for the time being." go."

murderer?Wen Yelan lowered her eyes, picked up the tea cup and blew on it, and sipped the rim of the cup.

"Does the lady have any contact with the government?" Wen Yelan asked.

Daqing shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet."

Wen Yelan tapped the tea cover lightly with her fingers. According to the time in her previous life, the eldest lady should have been in contact with Xiao Jin in the past few days.But when a murderer is involved, how did the eldest lady get Xiao Jin out?

"You keep watching, I think the mouse's tail will be exposed soon." Wen Yelan sneered.

"Yes." Daqing replied straightly.

"Knock Knock-"

Mei Lan, who was guarding the door, opened half of the door, and said softly to Wen Yelan, "Master, Madam is here."

"Yeah." Wen Yelan nodded and said to Daqing, "Go out and be careful."

Daqing nodded, opened the door and walked out.The serious expression disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the room. With a submissive look, he hunched his body and shrank away along the corridor.

Wei Tingyu walked through the corridor and walked to Wen Yelan's other courtyard. Wen Yelan was already standing at the door waiting.

As soon as Wen Yelan saw Wei Tingyu, she quickly stepped forward and held her hand, frowned, and said, "Mother, you are not fully recovered, why come here."

Wei Tingyu was happy to see her son, she kept stroking the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother doesn't know what's going on with her body? I've had enough medicine and rest these days, so I want to get up and take a walk."

Wen Yelan was quite helpless, touched her cold hand, and said, "Mother, Xiao Qi will be worried."

"My little seven is good, mother knows that you love mother the most." Wei Tingyu pinched Wen Yelan's cheek.

Wen Yelan sighed, supported her and said, "Mom, let's go in first."

They walked into the hall, and Mei Xiang poured Wei Tingyu a glass of water.Wen Yelan walked behind Wei Tingyu and gently squeezed her shoulder.

"Ma'am, have you taken your medicine today?" Wen Yelan turned his head to look at Mei Qing who was standing aside.

Mei Qing lowered her head and replied: "Reporting to the young master, Madam drank the medicine and fell asleep, and woke up and said that she wanted to see the young master."

"Hey, Mom just wants to see our Xiaoqi all of a sudden." Wei Tingyu reached out and patted Wen Yelan's hand on her shoulder.

"Mother, next time you want to see Xiao Qi, you can send someone to call, and Xiao Qi will come and find you." Wen Yelan said with his head lowered against her face.

"Okay, my Xiao Qi is the most obedient." Wei Tingyu said with a smile.

On the other side, Xiao Jin who was locked in the cell was still hanging on the wall, his clothes were in tatters, and his bare skin was covered with dense scars and bloodstains.

A whip swept across, and another new scar covered Xiao Jin's body.Xiao Jin stared fiercely at the two big men who were being tortured in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint each other's appearance in his mind.He bit his lip, and a small moan escaped from the gap between his lips and teeth.

Xiao Jin couldn't hold back, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"Brother, do you want to continue fighting?" A big man asked.

"Beat, keep beating until he confesses!" another big man shouted.

This enmity, one day he will ask these people to repay it!A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Jin's black pupils.
