Border Cook

Chapter 541 Losing Face

Wen Yixuan came here this time to emphasize this matter, and at the same time see if there is anything else that can be manipulated about Lu Qiyan after getting married.

For example, his wife.

But now it seems that this plan has completely failed.

Just as Lu Qiyan said, he had already investigated everything clearly. Xia Mingyue's background was unknown, but her connections were strong. She was not someone who could be provoked at will. One even had to be on guard against her and cooperate with Lu Qiyan more, so that Lu Qiyan would not get into trouble and ruin the Wen family's plans.

But on the surface, Wen Yixuan naturally could not admit it, and only said, "Third brother is right, it is me, the second brother, who was rude and reckless."

"My second brother is just thinking about Yuzhu and me. It's all for a reason. You can't blame him too much."

Lu Qiyan said, "It's just that I heard Fan Honghui mention a few days ago that the emperor is quite dissatisfied with the Cui family at this time. In addition to the fact that the Cui family is indeed too arrogant now, it seems to have a lot to do with the previous An family."

"Yes." Wen Yixuan nodded. "The An family was completely defeated. The Cui family suppressed the murder of Cui Wendong by An Jingzhong. Everyone thought that the Cui family had an alliance with the An family, so the emperor was naturally afraid of them."

"Since the emperor is suspicious of many places, if my second brother appears in Changzhou City and is noticed by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid this memorial will be delivered to the emperor."

Lu Qiyan continued, "In my humble opinion, it would be better for Second Brother to leave as soon as possible to avoid any trouble."

"As for father and elder brother, please also tell my second brother that I, Lu Qiyan, was able to save my life and protect my younger sister thanks to father's help. I will never forget such a great kindness."

Lu Qiyan emphasized the last four words, as if to express his determination.

Seeing Lu Qiyan's solemn and resolute tone, Wen Yixuan's expression lightened, "Don't worry, I will definitely convey it."

He added, "It's just that as a man, living in this world, the most important thing to care about is nothing more than the word friendship. I hope that you will value friendship and don't forget your original intention."

"Don't worry, second brother. I will never forget my original intention." Lu Qiyan's face was serious. Then he stood up and bowed to Wen Yixuan. "I have been out for a long time. I need to go back as soon as possible to prevent my wife from worrying too much. I'll take my leave first."

Wen Yixuan said "hmm", raised his hand and ordered someone to send Lu Qiyan out.

Lu Qiyan bowed again, turned and left, heading straight for the private room where Xia Mingyue was.

The servant who sent Lu Qiyan out returned after seeing him enter the private room and hurriedly replaced a new pot of tea for Wen Yixuan.

This pot is the Huading Yunwu tea that Wen Yixuan likes to drink. It has a clear and ethereal taste and is a top-notch tea.

Wen Yixuan took a sip and nodded repeatedly, "Sure enough, this is the only tea that I can drink."

The pot I just drank was really hard to drink.

If it wasn't for the purpose of scare Wen Yu, he really didn't want to let such inferior tea stain his fine Ru kiln tea cup.

"You are right, sir." The attendant said with a smile, "What kind of tea should be drunk by the right person? Matching is the most important thing in this world."

"Not bad." Wen Yixuan nodded.

In this world, the word "matching" is indeed the most important thing. A mud-legged man like Wen Yu, who crawled out of a pile of corpses, is only worthy of drinking inferior tea. He can only be a minion of the Wen family and serve the Wen family all his life.

However, Wen Yu’s current power is indeed too great.

If he borrowed the power of the Fan and He families and established his own business in the future...

But they have Lu Yuzhu in their hands, his own sister who is more important than his life, so he probably wouldn't dare to do anything.

Furthermore, if that day really comes, they still have a trump card in their hands.

I'm not afraid that I won't be able to completely restrain Wen Yu by then.

If things really got out of hand, Wen Yu would be doomed, but his Wen family would be able to withdraw completely. And taking a step back, there was nothing wrong with working for the Wen family. If he found a backer, he might not get as much as the Wen family could give him. Wen Yu was a smart man after all, and he shouldn't be so confused.

It would do him no good to fight to the death.

Wen Yixuan felt more at ease when he thought about it. He drank a few more cups of tea and stood up. "Let's go."

"Sir, are you going back to your residence?" The servant packed up his things.

"Notify everyone, pack their bags and return to Shuixianzhou." Wen Yixiuan said.

"Yes." The attendant replied, but he was also a little worried, "But if you do this, will it make you look..."

Somewhat afraid of his kindness?
If you tell the Second Young Master to leave and he leaves, does he still have any face left?

"Do you need me to tell you?" Wen Yixiuan glanced at the servant unhappily.

It's really something that I don't see clearly.

He originally thought that what Wen Yu said made sense, and he didn't want to be angry because the Wen family got into trouble and had to leave, but his subordinates had to break this window paper.

Do you think his face is not enough and you have to step on it?
The attendant saw that Wen Yixuan's face was full of anger, and even had a hint of murderous intent, so he didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly lowered his head, "I admit my guilt, please calm down, sir."

Wen Yixuan did not respond either. He just snorted coldly and walked away.

Before leaving, he paused for a moment in the private room where Lu Qi Yan was, and then strode away.

Lu Qiyan, who was in the private room, naturally noticed Wen Yixuan's departure and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He could also roughly guess the purpose of Wen Yixuan coming here.

The demonstration was to remind him that the Wen family still had a very important handle on him.

Maybe, he also wants to see if Xia Mingyue is suitable to become the second Lu Yuzhu.

He had just deliberately brought up Xia Mingyue's current situation one by one in order to test Wen Yixuan's attitude and to remind him not to act recklessly.

Judging from the current situation, Wen Yixuan has probably already investigated it thoroughly and knows the whole situation, so he shouldn't keep an eye on Xia Mingyue in the future.

Xia Mingyue is safe, at least for the time being.

Lu Qiyan exhaled again.

Xia Mingyue noticed that Lu Qiyan was worried at the moment and tilted her head, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Fortunately, I can handle it." Lu Qiyan had no intention of telling Xia Mingyue about this.

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue didn't plan to ask any more questions, "That's good."

Properly maintaining some privacy of each other and respecting each other is one of the most important ways to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.

"If you are not in a hurry to return to the barracks, how about we go to the orchard for a walk tomorrow?" Xia Mingyue suggested.

In the hot summer, the peaches in the orchard are almost ripe, and the apples, pears, etc. are already hanging with fruits. Looking around, it is bound to be a scene of abundant fruits, but just thinking about it makes me feel that it is a unique landscape.

"Okay." Lu Qiyan nodded with a smile, "But there is only one thing, you are not allowed to climb the tree to pick fruits."

Xia Mingyue's body hasn't fully recovered yet. If she suffers from too much heat, it would be making things worse.
