Chapter 399 Regret for the Appointment
Wang Xian grabbed her mother's wrist in disbelief and almost made a dolphin sound.

"Mom, have you forgotten who caused us to be like this?!"

Zhang quickly signaled her to speak softly and looked around to see if there was anyone around: "Your father is unreliable, your second uncle will definitely not care about us, and your grandmother doesn't even care about your father, let alone us. The only one who can make the decision in the entire Wang family now is your sister."

Wang Xian was so angry that even if it was true, she didn't want to live under the control of that little bastard!
"Mom, our Wang family is so big that it cannot fall into the hands of an outsider! Isn't my brother very knowledgeable? Grandmother will also hand over the Wang family to him because he is the only male in the Wang family. After all, he is an heir."

"My brother can't do that, but I'm still here! When I marry into a good family, my husband will take over the Wang family, and it will definitely be better than it is now!"

Wang Xian's lofty ambitions frightened Zhang so much that she opened her mouth slightly and was unable to speak.

It is unbelievable that my daughter would say such a thing. She actually wants to send the Wang family to outsiders. The Wang family is not without descendants. There are many men in the family. When will it be the turn of a son-in-law from outside to take charge of the family?

Zhang was so disappointed with her daughter that she felt for the first time that her spoiled daughter was so stupid and unfamiliar.

"The Wang family has not yet fallen to the point where a son-in-law from outside the family is in charge of the family. But you, you have been living a life of luxury for so many years, and I even hired a private tutor for you. Have you read so much that you are a fool? Your sister dared to speak up in front of the imperial envoy before she even reached the age of marriage. You are a few years older than her, but you have never thought that you have the ability to support the Wang family. When I am old, I can no longer rely on you, and I have to look at the face of my son-in-law's family?"

No matter how badly Wang Mengwu treated her, he never reduced her food, clothing and other expenses. She was unlucky because her husband was promiscuous and violent, but she had spent half her life nurturing and raising her daughter, but in the end, she didn't even have a brain!

Zhang was so angry that she had a heart attack, and Wang Xian's fair little face was full of grievance.

She didn't say anything. Her mother's words were full of accusations against her and admiration for the little bastard. Why?
Recalling that she and her daughter had been beaten by their father because of the little bastard, her face instantly turned cold.

"Mother, do you think there will be a way out by relying on your daughter? Grandmother has granted me an imperial decree, but she has never liked our eldest wife. If I were a boy, it would be fine, but unfortunately I am just a girl. Apart from finding a good marriage, what else can I do? Can I still take the imperial examination?"

Not to mention the eldest branch, my grandmother looked down on every branch equally. If she really wanted to train an heir, she would not have stayed in a corner for so many years and would never give in even if she was treated harshly.

"It's not yet to the point of relying on a son-in-law."

Wang Xian retorted: "Isn't the little bastard an outsider? What if the son-in-law of the Wang family is the imperial envoy, would mother still think so?"

Zhang's eyes widened and she quickly tried to cover her mouth.

"The Imperial Envoy is a close minister of the Emperor. How can we, a mere merchant family, marry him? My daughter, you should not aim too high."

Wang Xian said disdainfully: "According to what mother said, my grandmother was a noble lady from the capital, a model of a lady from a noble family, but she also married and moved to Jiangnan with my grandfather, and stayed in our small merchant family, didn't she?"

"Mother is afraid that you will fail to reach her height and end up hurting yourself..."

"Mom, you don't have to say anything. I have made up my mind! The Imperial Envoy will probably be in Suzhou City for some time. Our family must have dealings with the officialdom, otherwise it will be difficult to make a name for ourselves."

Wang Xian resolutely turned around and left, and Zhang could only sigh helplessly.

……

Yang Jinfan had a lazy sleep and just after he finished washing up, he heard the news brought back by Qing Xu and Chen Ning.

"Is she really planning to do this?" Yang Jinfan was a little unconvinced.

"It is absolutely true, young lady. She has dressed up and is leaving quietly. The carriage has just left."

"Follow her, let's go and see the show. Tell Bai Fu that Jun Ge is here tonight and ask him to wait for me in the room first." After saying that, Yang Jinfan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he called the little girls to go together. Deyuelou, the largest restaurant in Suzhou, was temporarily closed for some reason, and there was also a good restaurant next to the post station where the new imperial envoy rested. In recent days, it has always been crowded. I heard from the little beggars in the city that most of the people who come here to eat have something to ask of the imperial envoy.

Wang Xian had a veil on her face and was followed by a maid. No one knew who she was and they just thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family. She checked into a private room and the waiter greeted her warmly.

"Shuang'er, have you handed over the invitation?"

The maid beside her took the cloak and put it aside: "My lady, the people at the post station said they would give it to the imperial envoy. Our people handed over a lot of silver, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Well, don't save money when you should. If our Wang family can get in touch with this connection in the future, our future will be better than it is now." Wang Xian took off her veil, picked up the teacup, tasted it, and put it down again.

The maid was secretly delighted: "Young lady will be the wife of the imperial envoy in the future, so this money will naturally be nothing."

Wang Xian couldn't help but smile at this sentence: "Send someone to guard the door. If you see a carriage coming from the post station, send someone to greet it immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

"My benefactor, are you really going to let me go meet the one from the Wang family?" Qi Lang's handsome face was full of confusion.

Yue Pan raised her little head and nodded: "Of course and for sure. The young lady said that you have worked hard today, so we should not waste the opportunity to collect interest." As she said that, she placed a few banknotes on the table.

Qi Lang swallowed, not because he was greedy, but because he couldn't believe it.

I can't believe there are such stupid people in the world.

"Who paid for all these?"

Yue Pan nodded. It’s no secret that this guy was much more generous than her second uncle. If the young lady wasn’t always short of money from them, she would have been a little jealous.

Qi Lang was stunned: "Okay, let's meet then."

Anyway, if something goes wrong, there is still my benefactor to support me behind the scenes. This little money is just enough to buy him some roast chickens and rice dumplings with fermented rice wine.

When he was in the prison cell, the roast chicken given by his benefactor was particularly fragrant, and he can never forget the taste to this day. Later, he searched for delicacies all over the place, but could never find that taste again.

Qi Lang changed into casual clothes and went to the private room of the restaurant according to the address on the invitation. When he entered, he saw a woman sitting inside. There was no one else around. He hesitated for a moment.

A single man and a single woman, what are they going to do?
His eyebrows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death, and he walked in with his head held high. Seeing this, Wang Xian quickly stood up to greet him with a shy look on her face.

When those hands reached out, he immediately dodged to the side and said coldly, "What do you want from me, young lady?"

Wang Xian saw him avoiding her and realized that she had overstepped her bounds, so she quickly apologized: "Please forgive me, sir. I just wanted to thank you for coming to visit my grandmother. My grandmother is not mobile and has always loved me, so I asked her to express her gratitude to you on my behalf."

She stood up and poured a glass of wine for Qi Lang.

Qi Lang felt uncomfortable all over, staying in the same room with a strange woman, eating and drinking with her. If Yingying had a spirit in heaven, she would probably be angry!

He felt a little regretful for agreeing to keep the appointment with his benefactor.
