The paranoid prince plays me every day

Chapter 7 Repairing the Stepmother

When Wen Sui led Shuangxi home, he heard the concierge inform him: "Master, Master Hou is back."

Wen Sui responded, handed Double Happiness to the porter, and ordered: "Feed it some food, and send it to my yard when it's done."

The concierge quickly complied, and went down with Double Happiness in his arms.

Wen Sui went back and took a bath, washed away the dust from the outside, cleaned up, and went to see Wen Changming.

The relationship between him and Wen Changming was originally very good, but after Wen Sui's biological mother passed away, Wen Sui didn't show a sad expression, and he didn't even shed tears for Li Yue, which caused the father and son to separate.

But Wen Changming is weak by nature, and his personality is not strong. His dissatisfaction with Wen Sui is simply a squib. what to say.

When Wen Sui arrived in Wen Changming's courtyard, he could already hear Li Yirou's son Wen Yu's crisp laughter, he paused, and walked into the gate.

Wen Changming hugged five-year-old Wen Yu and showed him the white wintersweet flowers in the yard, with Li Yirou beside him. They were really a happy family of three.

Although it was Wen Sui's fault that Li Yirou was able to marry Wen Changming, Wen Sui still found it very dazzling when he saw such a scene.

Seeing him, Wen Changming immediately put down Wen Yu. Wen Yu was dissatisfied, stretched out his arms and said coquettishly, "Daddy, hug me."

Wen Sui said, "How old are you, and you still need to be hugged by Daddy, are you still not weaned?"

Wen Yu's face was pulled down by the words, Li Yirou smoothed things over and said: "Okay, Yu'er, don't make trouble with your father anymore, come here."

Li Yirou had always been strict with Wen Yu, so Wen Yu was afraid of her, and when he heard her words, he ran up to her side and hugged her waist.

Li Yirou said empathetically, "You father and son haven't seen each other for a while, now we have a good chat, we'll go down first."

After speaking, he coaxed Wen Yu a few words, took him down, and left space for Wen Sui and Wen Changming.

Wen Changming coughed and asked, "Did you study hard during my absence?"

He put on such a stern father's posture, but he was actually a squib, but he still couldn't show his effectiveness. He was like a paper tiger, which could be scary at first glance.

Wen Sui just knew it, so he said casually: "Yes, my child can write a good handwriting now."

Wen Changming was a little surprised and looked at him silently.

Wen Sui said, "What's the matter? Don't you believe me?"

Wen Changming continued to look at him, and Wen Sui said calmly: "I also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting along the way. If you don't believe me, let your son show you."

Wen Changming said, "Please."

Wen Sui smiled, and asked someone to prepare paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and with the pen in hand, he wrote Wen Changming a list of being a teacher.

When Wen Changming saw it, his eyes widened slightly, and he was indeed shocked by Wen Sui, "...Who did you learn from? The progress is not small."

Wen Sui said: "I didn't learn from anyone. I practiced casually with the copybook. Writing is really self-cultivating."

Wen Changming also really felt that Wen Sui was not as impetuous as before, so he couldn't help feeling relieved, but also a little melancholy, because his wife couldn't see the child's growth.

At this time, Wen Sui suddenly said: "Father, if I say that I want you to reconcile with mother, what do you think?"

Wen Changming was stunned. After a while, he asked, "Are you having a conflict with your mother?"

Wen Sui asked back, "Do you like her?"

Ordinary parents would not be happy to hear Wen Sui say these words. After all, this is a matter in the father's house. How can a son intervene at will?But Wen Changming is very different. He is too uninitiated, and it is easy to listen to the words of those close to him. After his wife is gone, his son is the closest person to him. Although he does not regard his son as the backbone, it is easy for his son to say about his choice.

Originally, Wen Changming had made up his mind not to remarry, but he couldn't stand Wen Sui's pleading, so he married Li Yirou.

Although Li Yirou is his wife now, she is only slightly better than strangers. Wen Changming knows that this kind of woman has a gentle personality like water, and probably cannot bear his fragile and crying personality, so he always puts on a majestic air in front of her. Afraid of revealing their secrets, they simply slept in separate rooms, even the courtyards between the two were the farthest away, and if they were close, it was pitifully rare, but even so, there was warmth.

Wen Changming also knew that he shouldn't show weakness in front of the child, but when Li Yue was still there, when he was holding Li Yue and crying, it was not uncommon for Wen Sui to see him, and he was even kicked out of the room by Li Yue. The two of them were still crying together because of their past experiences. It is impossible for Wen Changming to show a strict father's face in front of Wen Sui.

He sighed and said, "I just thought you were more stable, why are you talking such nonsense?"

Wen Sui was quite proud of being favored, "Father, tell me, do you like Li Yirou?"

Wen Changming raised his voice a little, "Why do you still call your mother by her first name?"

Wen Sui: "Father! Answer me, do you like her or not?"

"..." Wen Changming replied, "I don't like it."

Wen Sui said: "It's fine if you don't like it, Dad, you and her will be separated."

Wen Changming asked, "Why?"

Wen Sui said straightforwardly: "I don't like her."

This reason is too childish, Wen Changming can't understand, "Just because of this?"

Wen Sui nodded, and Wen Changming said, "Nonsense."

Even so, he was not angry.

Wen Sui looked at him and said, "Why don't you ask me why I don't like it?"

Speaking of this, Wen Changming thought of something, "I heard that you are forcing Rui'er to study? Get up at the fourth watch?"

Wen Sui told Wen Changming what his donkey Wen Rui said again, and Wen Changming was persuaded, "It should be so, you are too playful, otherwise you would have become a talent long ago."

Wen Sui said: "Don't worry, I still have the Hou Mansion to inherit, but Rui'er has nothing, so I worry about him."

Wen Changming nodded, and Wen Sui returned to the original topic, "Father, if you really can't do without Li Yirou, you can give the right of housekeeper to the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is capable and has money at home, unlike some people The butler's gimmicks are all about gaining benefits."

Wen Changming's mind was a little dull, "Who will benefit from it?"

After asking, I felt the taste, "You mean your mother?"

"It's my aunt." Wen Sui corrected, "That's right, although my aunt and mother are sisters, they have very different personalities. If you don't care, Dad, our Hou Mansion will be evacuated."

Wen Changming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Of course Wen Sui didn't have any proof, he was busy looking for Prince Gou these days, and he didn't have time to deal with Li Yirou.

However, he read the whole book from Wen Rui's perspective, and knew that this stepmother usually withheld food and clothing from the other two households. Many shops and restaurants with very high profits were made by her with fake accounts, and a lot of money was made, most of which were sent back to her uncle's house, and a small part was filled into her small coffers.

Wen Sui said: "If Dad doesn't believe it, please invite some accountants to check the account books."

Wen Changming didn't suspect that Wen Sui was framing Li Yirou. He knew that Wen Sui was actually somewhat similar to himself. Although he was not smart, he was honest and didn't know how to pretend, but sometimes he was too heartless.

He's not a bad person, and he usually has a good relationship with Li Yirou, but now he suddenly doesn't like her, he must know something.

Wen Changming was decisive in this regard, and he immediately went outside to find a few accountants with the best skills.

On the other hand, Li Yirou practiced handwriting with Wen Yu for a while, seeing that his handwriting was not as correct as before, his complexion was already unsightly, and he felt his eyelids twitching, and a bad premonition emerged very quickly in his heart, and then disappear.

The big maid beside her, Hongmei, was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately comforted her: "Madam, you should rest for a while."

Wen Yu was also beside him and said: "Mother, my son will practice calligraphy well, you go and rest."

Li Yirou shook his head, glanced at Hongmei, and said in a cold tone, "Hongmei, you go out."

Hongmei's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know where she had offended Madam, but she didn't dare to say anything else at this time, so she agreed.

After Hongmei left, Li Yirou picked up the ruler and hit Wen Yu with a stern tone: "Why did your handwriting deteriorate so much! I asked you to tie a sandbag around your wrist to practice handwriting, but you didn't do it?"

She didn't hit hard, but it still made Wen Yu's eyes turn red, and he defended in a low voice: "Mother, it's the doctor who said it was bad, it hurt too much to the wrist."

Li Yirou hit him again, "Still quibbling, I said you didn't eat well, so you stopped eating? I said you didn't live well, do you have to die?"

Feeling depressed in her heart, she made her voice sharper, "Look at you, I told you that you have to be hundreds of times better than your brother before your father will take a look at you, but what about you? , take my words as a deaf ear, if you wait like this for your brother to become a Marquis, you can only be driven out of the Marquis Mansion and become a beggar!"

Wen Yu defended in a low voice: "Brother treats me very well and won't let me be a beggar..."

Li Yirou waved the ruler, "Say more!"

Wen Yu endured the pain and didn't speak any more.

Li Yirou threw away the ruler, hugged Wen Yu with a calm expression, and said, "Silly boy, your brother is so domineering and ignorant by your father, how can he deserve the position of Marquis of Pingyang, this position should be yours, you now Too young to understand, when you grow up and become ten thousand times better than your brother, your father will see you, and begging for a piece of money from others is far worse than standing up for yourself."

Whispering in Wen Yu's ear again, "You have to be cruel to others, and even more cruel to yourself, in order to achieve great things, your mother and I are like this...you are what you are today. So what about your brothers, your brother is the eldest son of the original spouse, Your mother and I are just a continuation, and I will always be inferior to his own mother. Although you are also a legitimate son in name, you will always be inferior to your brother. Your status is different. He treats you well on the surface, but actually looks down on you, you know? He also looks down on you Mother, otherwise, how could I have never looked at you and me just now? Silly boy, don't be deceived by him, you can get close, but always beware of your brother, understand?"

Wen Yu actually disagreed in his heart. After all, the eldest brother really loved him like a younger brother. Although he was only five years old, he could still tell who was good to him. It is true that he loves Wen Rui more, maybe blood relationship has a little influence, but it is not to the extent of looking down on him.

Thinking like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he was afraid of being beaten, he nodded timidly, and Li Yirou gently hugged him into his arms, and his tone became more gentle, "I will practice calligraphy tomorrow, and I will tie two Sandbag, you know?"

Wen Yu was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey her, so he agreed.

After Li Yirou checked Wen Yu's homework again, she left Wen Yu's room.

Seeing that it was not early, he sent someone to invite Wen Changming to have dinner in her yard.

After waiting for a long time, he was told by the maid who came back that Master Hou had gone to eat in the yard of the young master.

Li Yirou's face immediately darkened.

Although Wen Changming didn't have any concubines, he didn't like to get close to her, obviously...

Li Yirou glanced at herself in the brass mirror, obviously she was five points similar to Li Yue, even if she was Li Yue's substitute, she would not be unacceptable, why did it get to the point where she felt bored even looking at her?

Li Yirou felt resentful and mournful in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

It doesn't matter, Li Yirou thought to herself, anyway, she doesn't have any feelings for Wen Changming, all she wants is glory and wealth, as long as Yun'er can get ahead and inherit the Hou's mansion, she will have no regrets.

Li Yirou cleared up her mood, ate dinner by herself, and asked her maid Hongmei to give Wen Yu a cup of tonic soup, and said: "Look at the young master, let him sleep until Haishi."

The red plum should go down.

At this time, Li Yirou's eyelids were still twitching, but for some reason, she sent someone to call Wen Changming's personal servant to inquire about some news, but this servant who had received a lot of favor from her at this time actually kept his mouth shut and said nothing. It made Li Yirou quite annoyed, but she had been maintaining the image of a kind and gentle mistress, and she couldn't put on face with him, so she let him go down with a good voice.

After the person left, he returned to the bed with a gloomy face and tossed and turned.

The accountant Mr. Wen Changming invited was very powerful, and he cleared the account books in one night. The difference between the accounts that Li Yirou settled was about 90 taels. This amount is not small. income!

Wen Changming was amazed. In his eyes, Li Yirou's image of a gentle little woman was completely shattered, and she became a horrible woman who was greedy, ambitious, kind-hearted and cruel.

Wen Sui had expected it a long time ago, but he never expected that Li Yirou would be greedy for so much money. At most, he thought it was just greedy for 10,000+, but he didn't expect there to be more than 90? ?

Wen Sui was shocked, and asked Wen Changming, "Father, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Wen Changming still had no idea. He looked at Wen Sui with a questioning look, "Foot ground?"

Wen Sui hated iron for being weak and said: "What's the point of restraining you, reconcile!"

Wen Changming hesitated and said, "Is the reconciliation too serious?"

Wen Sui said: "She has stolen more than 90 yuan! You can't get divorced anymore, you have to divorce her! Li Yirou committed the theft in the seven rules, you have a ready-made reason to divorce her."

Wen Changming was still hesitating, and Wen Sui's tone was a bit harsh, "Father, will you listen to me? I asked you to divorce Li Yirou for the sake of the Wen family. If you don't listen, she will make a bigger mess in the future." , don't regret it!"

It can only be said that the relationship between the father and son is too strange. How dare an ordinary son talk to his father in this tone, but Wen Changming is the one who likes it the most. If you say that the previous son did not have the slightest stern attitude and his personality was loose, He is a pure playboy who plays with cats and dogs, and it is difficult for people to feel trust and dependence.But at this time, it is clear that he has an appearance of being able to take charge, and with such a stern tone, it vaguely coincides with Li Yue's image.

Wen Changming immediately began to habitually rely on Wen Sui, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll divorce her, please speak softly, don't make it too loud, my ears can't stand it."

Wen Sui's tone immediately eased a little, "Is it true that she is going to divorce her or is it perfunctory?"

Wen Changming said: "Really rest, really rest!"

Wen Sui heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but be thankful that with Wen Changming's character, he only liked Li Yue's. Li Yirou had never understood the way the two of them got along, and Wen Changming's appearance was so heroic and majestic, which never made people suspicious. If Li Yirou learns from his true character, I'm afraid that with a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

Wen Sui urged Wen Changming to write a letter of divorce. After Wen Changming finished writing, he showed it to Wen Sui, "Do you think this is okay?"

Wen Sui nodded after reading it, "Yes."

Wen Changming asked, "What about Yu'er?"

Only then did Wen Sui think of Wen Yu. To be honest, he didn't hate Wen Yu. Wen Yu was very close to him at first, but from his previous life to the next few years, Wen Yu became much more indifferent to him, and even somewhat hostile to him. At that time, he was quite upset, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he might have been led astray by Li Yirou.

Wen Sui thought for a moment, then said: "Look at the third brother's own thoughts, if he wants to go back with his mother, let him go back with Li Yirou, if he wants to go with his father, let him stay at home."

Wen Changming said: "Yu'er is very good, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Wen Changming still has some paternal love for Wen Yu, and he was not willing to leave Wen Yu for a while.

Wen Sui said: "Then let's talk about it when the time comes."

Wen Sui said to Uncle: "Uncle Yu, call Li Yirou over."

He frequently called Li Yirou by her first name, but Wen Changming didn't stop him.

Uncle Yu knew that the weather in the mansion was about to change, so he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately set off to invite Li Yirou over.

Li Yirou was just about to have breakfast at this time, seeing that Uncle Yu came to invite her, she thought that Wen Changming was going to eat with her, so she was unavoidably delighted, she straightened her clothes, and then asked Hongmei: "Hongmei, look at my hair is messed up without?"

Hongmei smiled and said: "Go back to Madam, there is no chaos, Madam is shining today."

But Li Yirou didn't think it was good enough, so she picked a peacock emerald bracelet from the jewelry box, and inserted it obliquely into her hair.

After all, she still didn't have as little affection for Wen Changming as she comforted her. On the contrary, she liked Wen Changming, otherwise she wouldn't have tried her best to enter Li's house.

After tidying up, she said to her uncle with a smile on her face, "Let's go."

Uncle Yu glanced at her, knowing that she had misunderstood, but he didn't remind her, and followed Li Yirou to Wen Changming's yard silently.
