It's another year of Chinese New Year's Eve, as if nothing has changed, but it seems like everything has changed. With the death of Xu Rouling and the departure of Chu Anning, the Wen family felt that it had returned to its previous coldness.

There were only three people at the dinner table: the old lady, Wen Zhili and Wen Zhichu. Last year's excitement seemed to be just a dream for everyone, and now it has changed back to these three people.

He Luo, Chunxiao and Qiao'er are still waiting on the side, in fact, this kind of scene is what they are familiar with. The old lady looked at the deserted home and sighed deeply.

Just as the three of them were about to eat, Wende hurriedly ran over, he gasped and said, "Old lady, eldest son, second son." Sir, sir, sir, is back. ”

"What do you say? Huan'er is back? The old lady stood up at once, and she hurried out.

Qiao'er walked over to help the old lady, the old lady's steps were a little anxious, and her eyes seemed to be a little wet. When she walked to the door, she saw a middle-aged man, dressed in a green cloth shirt, with a slender figure. There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and there were a few more strands of gray hair in his black hair.

His expression was serious, and he glanced at the people present. The pride in him, as well as the light temperament and gentleness, are exactly the same. This person is the man of the hour in the court, the former left minister of Lanping Country - Wen Huan.

Seeing Wen Huan, the maid and the little maid both saluted. Wen Huan just nodded faintly, signaling that they could stand up. He Luo actually hadn't seen Wen Huan, and Wen Huan had already resigned and left Beijing when she came. Now that I look at it, I find that Wen Huan is really good-looking, no wonder Brother Wen Zhili is so good-looking.

"Is what you believe true?" Wen Huan's eyes fell on Wen Zhili.

Although the other party was his father, Wen Zhili had no intention of standing up to say hello. He said softly, "Heluo, pour the wine." ”

Although He Luo didn't think it was very good, she wouldn't be disobedient to Wen Zhiru, so she brought him a glass of wine.

"I'm here to let you come back for a reunion dinner, not to ask you back." Wen Zhili ate the food by himself.

Wen Huan snorted coldly and said, "You are arrogant, you have been quite comfortable all these years, and you don't even pay attention to your father." ”

"You misunderstood this, and I didn't take you seriously before." Wen Zhili's tone was calm.

Wen Huan sighed, looked at Wen Zhichu again, and said, "I heard that you divorced Chu Fu's daughter?" ”

Wen Zhichu arrived at the glass of wine and said, "If you take a break, you will take a break, do I need to report to you?" ”

"You two have really grown up, and your wings have hardened. moved Xu Jingzhi, is this ready to move Jiang Heng again? Do you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick? Wen Huan was a little helpless.

Wen Zhili took another bite of food and said: "I can move whoever Wen Zhili wants, and there is no need to discuss with anyone to report." You might as well put away your fatherly appearance, I don't want to see this hypocritical appearance. ”

"Li'er! This is your father, how can you talk like that? The old lady spoke at this moment.

"My dad?" Wen Zhili put down the chopsticks, and the table was slammed, "You have been in a mess for a year after my mother left, I can understand, I know you love her." I thought you would take on the responsibilities of a father when you were sad, but you didn't. Another year later, you're gone, resigned, and gone. You left so happily, but you didn't know that only your old mother and two young sons were left in this Wen Mansion. Without your protection, do you know how we lived that year? ”

Wen Zhili smiled coldly and said, "Of course you don't know how those enemies of yours suppressed us. So I found people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, and when Liu Moxing's power was too great and the emperor was jealous, I wrote to impeach the Liu faction. In order to collect those evidences, Xiao Chu became a thief. When he stole evidence, how many times did he die nine times, do you know? He used to pay for me and the Wen family, do you know? ”

Wen Zhichu was originally drinking on the side, but when he heard this, he put down his glass and said, "Don't say it, no matter how much you say, he can't know." ”

"Don't say it?" Wen Zhili shook his head, "Don't say that he will never know, because of his irresponsibility, I have become the kind of person I hate the most." Whenever I use that kind of inferior tactics against others, stepping on other people's corpses and climbing up, I feel sick to myself. But what am I going to do? ”

Wen Zhili stood up and walked in front of Wen Huan, the two stood opposite each other, obviously father and son but like enemies. Wen Huan's eyes were filled with guilt and a hint of helplessness. In fact, he knows all about how hard Wen Zhili has worked over the years, he knows. He has only been the left minister for a few years, but his strength far exceeds that of himself back then.

Obviously, Ali is a very kind child, and so is Xiao Chu. They have been by Yun'er's side since they were children, and Yun'er has always taught them to be kind to others, hoping that they can become gentle and kind people.

They are indeed like that, very warm and kind. In the past, Ali was very afraid of seeing blood, and his whole person trembled with fear when he saw blood. When Xiao Chu saw someone injured, he would cry and beg him to save someone.

But now they only have indifference in their eyes. They have been completely changed by this officialdom, stepping on other people's corpses to climb up, and doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals. They have become the kind of people that Qin Yun least wants them to be.

Seeing the guilt in Wen Huan's eyes, Wen Zhili turned his face and said, "What the hell, I have already said it in the letter, and your willingness to come back naturally proves that you are willing to help me." I handed them over to you, if you let them have an accident, I will definitely kill you. ”

Wen Huan knew what Wen Zhili meant, and he also understood that he could really say and do it. He hooked his lips and smiled, "I understand, I will protect them without you saying it." ”

"Xiao Chu, you and grandmother tonight, follow ......," Wen Zhili paused, "Follow Dad and leave, obedient." ”

Wen Zhichu knew that the situation was wrong, he stood up and said, "What are you going to do?" Are you worried I'm going to drag you down? Or are you going to take another adventure? ”

"You don't have to worry about it, your departure is the greatest help to me." Wen Zhili's tone was serious, "I won't hurt you." ”

Wen Zhichu grabbed his arm and said, "I know you won't harm me, but are you ready to take risks again?" ”

"It's none of your business, you just have to be obedient. It's almost time, Daddy will take care of the rest, and it's time for me to leave. After Wen Zhili finished speaking, he directly shook off Wen Zhichu's hand and left.

Wen Zhichu was about to step forward, and Wen Zhili said coldly: "Lu Yu, be optimistic about the second master." Heluo, let's go. ”

Lu Yu didn't know where to come out and stopped in front of Wen Zhichu. Wen Zhichu still wanted to chase after him, but he saw that Lu Yu's sword was already out of the sheath, and said to Wen Zhichu: "Second master, don't force me to make a move." ”

Wen Zhichu knew that he was not Lu Yu's opponent, so he sat down directly on the side with some anger. Wen Huan also sat down, looked at the old lady and said, "Li'er has her own things to do, let's eat." ”
