Wanjin Lady

Chapter 82 Want both and want
Wen Wan left Zhao Heng behind and went to Wen's father's courtyard. At this time, Wen's father was looking at the account book, and Wen Wan pushed the door open and walked in, bringing with her a gust of autumn wind.

Wen Wan sat down and got straight to the point. "Dad, I saw Concubine Liu walking with a middle-aged man today. If I'm not mistaken, the old man of the Liu family should be planning to arrange a marriage for Concubine Liu."

——Crack.

The account book in Old Man Wen's hand fell to the ground with a thud, his face dull.

Wen Wan bent down to pick up the account book and put it back into Old Man Wen's hands.

Father Wen looked panicked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. "Don't try to fool me. Concubine Liu has only been home for a month, how could the Liu family arrange a marriage so soon?"

"Father!" Wen Wan hadn't expected her father to be so indifferent to Concubine Liu. Although she, a eunuch, was anxious, the emperor showed no sign of anxiety. "Concubine Liu is a dismissed concubine. Not to mention a concubine, even a woman who has been divorced or abandoned can't stay in her parents' home."

Father Wen immediately retorted, "Butcher Liu regards Liu Yiyi as the apple of his eye and would never make random arrangements—"

Wen Wan's face turned cold. "Butcher Liu can tolerate Liu Yiyi, but what about the Liu family? Can the Liu family elders tolerate a dismissed concubine living in her parents' home for a long time?"

Speaking of the Liu family, Wen Weiming immediately thought of the group of elders of the Wen family.

He was just seriously ill at the time and was still breathing, but the elders dared to come to his house to make trouble, and some even forced him to agree to the adoption.

When Aunt Liu returned home, the situation was even more dangerous than Wen Wan's at that time... I'm afraid!
Seeing Wen Weiming's face turn pale, Wen Wan finally felt relieved, thinking that he might have turned around.

I had originally expected to see a domineering CEO chasing his wife to the crematorium, but instead, Father Wen lowered his head, clutching the account book tightly. After a long moment of contemplation, he said, "I... I can't let your mother down... If we could maintain the same situation as before, I would naturally take her back without hesitation. But she... I can't give her what she wants."

Wen Wan's breath was stuck in her throat.

She seemed to... underestimate Old Man Wen's feelings for the original owner's mother.

Wen Wan's mother had been married into the Wen family for more than ten years but had no children. Wen's father had to bear the pressure from his grandparents alone, and finally had Wen Wan, his only child.

After Wen Wan was born, her father did not despise her because she was a girl. He held Wen Wan in his hands and raised her like a jewel.

In later times, Old Man Wen would also deserve the title of "good man".

"Dad, are you worried about me? My mother died early, and Concubine Liu came to my house a long time ago. She has been working hard for the past ten years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. What's more, I am the instigator of this incident. If I don't give Concubine Liu an explanation, I will feel guilty."

Wen Wan didn't want to put too much pressure on Old Man Wen, so she pursed her lips and added, "This only represents me personally. I don't know what kind of person my mother is, or whether she agrees with her daughter's opinion."

At the mention of Bai Yueguang, Father Wen's eyes blurred, as if a rain had fallen after a long drought, and spring had come back to the dead trees. His dark, wrinkled face was ironed smooth by a puddle of spring water. "Your mother... is an extremely good woman. There is no better girl in the world."

Of course the original owner’s mother is good.

Bai Yueguang, who could make Old Man Wen never forget her for ten years and resist the pressure from the elders of the Wen family and refuse to remarry, must be an invincible existence.

It’s just that Old Man Wen…his mind is on the original owner’s mother…so his body is always busy.

I love you, but that doesn't stop me from having children with another person.

I give you my whole heart, but my body always feels lonely——

Father Wen was deeply affectionate, immersed in his image as a romantic, unable to extricate himself. "Madam Liu is very good. But she is still not as good as a finger of your mother."

this moment.

Wen Wan felt sorry for Aunt Liu.

It’s not worth replacing the original owner’s mother.

Aunt Liu sacrificed herself to become Father Wen's concubine, and was treated as inferior for no reason. After working hard for ten years, she only got a sentence "I'm not as good as her"?
As expected. In this world, there is rarely any right or wrong, only closeness or distance.

Wen Weiming himself has two daughters, but he is still willing to exploit other people's daughters.

It can be seen that there is no such word as empathy in the world.

Love is quantum entanglement, the seven emotions and six desires, jealousy and possessiveness; it is a plum that grows on barren land, so sour it makes your teeth ache; it is an almond that is uncooked and bitter beyond measure; it is a magnolia flower in autumn that seems beautiful but can never be picked. A wise person never falls in love.

Father Wen was completely oblivious to Wen Wan's silence and continued, "Before your mother died, she and I agreed not to marry again in this life, but to continue our relationship in the next life... If I marry Liu Yiyi, how will I face your mother in the afterlife?"

Well, got it.

Old Man Wen is the typical example of someone who wants it all.

He wanted the reputation of being a romantic, but also wanted Aunt Liu's warmth and support without any competition.

It's the kind of beautiful thought.

Wen Wan didn't want to discuss this issue in depth with Old Man Wen, so she just said directly, "Father, do you plan to take Concubine Liu back?"

Wen Weiming looked embarrassed when his daughter questioned him.

He knew he was in the wrong, and felt guilty, so he didn't dare to look Wen Wan in the eye. "If she is willing to be like before, I am willing to welcome her back to the Wen family."

Same as before?
Does it mean that Aunt Liu will continue to be willingly exploited by the Wen family?

Old Man Wen was willing to do it, but Wen Wan was not!

"Since father has made up his mind—" A faint smile appeared on Wen Wan's face. The candlelight on the table danced in the young lady's eyes, making her pupils look bottomless. "Then it will be easy for my daughter."

Wen Weiming's eyelids twitched.

"Yangcheng is short of a manager. I think... Concubine Liu is quite good."

Aunt Liu's fresh chives...she has been craving them for a long time.

Wen Weiming wanted to object, but then he thought of Aunt Liu's situation in the Liu family, so he moved his lips and remained silent.

If the news got out that his concubine, who had been dismissed, was now working as his servant, Ping County would be filled with rumors again.

He was half buried in the ground, so he didn't care about his face. But Wen Jing was still young, and the people in Ping County were as venomous as a poison. They would say all kinds of dirty words. How would his daughter cope with it? Would it affect her future marriage?

Old Man Wen has to consider these practical issues.

However, Aunt Liu did not work, and the result of returning to her parents' home was that she was forced to marry again.

Wen Wan saw the struggle on Old Man Wen’s face.

Fortunately, Old Man Wen finally had some conscience. Between Concubine Liu and his own face, he hesitated for a moment and finally chose Concubine Liu.

He closed his eyelids helplessly and said with a tired look, "Everything is up to you. I only have one request, don't involve Wen Jing in these rumors."

Wen Wan did what she said and took Wen Jing, Chen Ma and others to the Wen family courtyard the next day.

This small courtyard was originally prepared by Old Man Wen for Wen Wan's marriage, but unfortunately Old Man Wen later decided to marry into the family, so the courtyard has been vacant ever since.

Fortunately, before the elders of the clan remembered that the Wen family had this property, Wen Wan transferred it to Aunt Liu's name in a lightning-fast manner.

However, thanks to Yuan Liulang, the fact that the Wen family owed a huge debt to Xinlong Money House is now known to everyone in Ping County.

The elders finally calmed down and no longer coveted the Wen family's property.

Everyone knows that the Wen family is a hot potato now, and whoever takes it over will be in trouble!

On the way here, Wen Wan and her group went shopping for gifts. Little Wen Jing knew that Aunt Liu loved desserts, so she generously spent more than a hundred copper coins to buy a box of mung bean cakes for Aunt Liu.

Wen Wan felt something was wrong. Wen Jing's red envelopes were all taken away by her, and she didn't give her much pocket money on a daily basis. Where did this little girl get so many copper coins?
