Chapter 16: The Whole Family Dies

Princess Jiarou, who has not seen her for ten years, and her niece Jing'an County Lord are not qualified to enter the palace, in this way, the guards do not feel that something is wrong, but take it for granted.

After all, after the death of Empress Gaozu, although the rewards of the court did not fall, and even more generous than ordinary county lords, His Majesty has never mentioned Wen Wan in public, so everyone knows that His Majesty does not like Wen Wan, but just looks at Empress Gaozu's face and gives Wen Wan some face.

Wen Wan sat in the sedan chair, and the conversation outside the sedan chair naturally couldn't escape her ears, but she still curled up lazily in the corner as if she hadn't heard it, looking at the prosperity of the capital outside the window.

In her previous life, she had always longed for the prosperity of the capital, and always looked forward to the day when she and Shen Zhiyuan could have their own home in the capital, not be secretly tormented by her stepmother, and leave the hypocritical and ruthless county government to have a warm and happy home.

But in the end, she was still ruined in the hands of her stepmother!

Thinking of this, her gentle eyes were dark and weird, her hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body was full of resentment, like a demon from hell.

Poof.

Suddenly, Wen Wanle blossomed, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and her smile was dazzling, how could she still be half resentful just now, and her smile was very cute and pleasant.

"People are dying, what am I still thinking?"

Outside the window, Zhihe's voice was wondering, "Miss, who died?" What are you laughing at? ”

Wen Wan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I just thought of the matter of the county order family in Rong'an County, Jiangnan, so I thought it was funny." ”

"......" Is that funny?

A family of thirty-seven people were all killed, the elderly, women, children and children did not leave a single one, of which six people died the most miserable, the county order and the steproom, the daughter born to the steproom, and three burly people, these six people were skinned alive, and then cut by a thousand knives, and were killed alive.

This brutal method also alarmed the Ministry of Punishment at the time, but it has not yet been ascertained who killed him.

However, the reason why the wife of the county order was bleeding heavily and caused the death of both mother and daughter was caused by the conspiracy between the stepfamily and the county order. And the three servants who died miserably were not ordinary guards, but bandits who were recruited, who had done everything before, rape, plunder, murder, and arson.

Zhihe said with palpitations, "I heard that the county order has a very good reputation, and the step-room often gives porridge and rice, and is also called a living bodhisattva, if it wasn't killed by someone, who would have known that this family was so vicious." I don't know who did it? ”

Wen Wan slowly took out a mint candy from her arms and put it in her mouth, and the cool taste instantly relieved her dry and itchy throat before replying.

"Maybe the mother and daughter who died in blood came back for revenge?"

When the words fell, I only heard a knock outside the carriage, and in the next second, I saw Zhihe covering her head and coming in with teary eyes.

"Miss, don't scare the slave, the slave is the most afraid of ghosts."

Wen Wan glanced at her, snorted and ignored her, and closed her eyes and rested there.

But after a while, I heard Zhihe chattering there.

"Amitabha, Amitabha, there is a debtor and a master, you die early and live early, but don't look for me. What's more, it's better for you to live than to die, so that you don't have to suffer that sin, and these days, there are many ways for stepfamilies to mutilate their stepdaughters......"

These words passed into Wen Wan's ears word for word, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his expression was as light as ever.

Wasn't that the case in my previous life?

She thought that her stepmother was very good to her, but who knew that after learning that her stepsister's fiancΓ© liked her, she chose to ruin her without hesitation, knowing that she only wanted to marry Shen Zhiyuan, a poor scholar.

"Wan'er."

A cry outside the window interrupted the gentle thoughts.

"Daddy." Wen Wan lifted the curtains, revealing a delicate and innocent smile.

Wen Sanye said softly, "Daddy wants to go to the palace, you and your mother go back to the house first, okay?" ”

Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "Won't Daddy accompany us back home?" ”

Wen Sanye shook his head: "Daddy, I have to go to the palace to report on my work." ”

"Then I entered the palace with my mother, and I haven't seen my uncle for a long time." Wen Wanxi smiled and said, "Daddy, don't worry, my body can stand it." ”

Wen Sanye looked at his daughter with sparkling eyes, and felt a little distressed. There are so many nieces of the emperor, but not everyone can enter the palace.

"Your uncle is busy, I don't have time to see Wan'er today, wait a while, let's go into the palace to see you, okay?"

Princess Jiarou rubbed her daughter's hair and said softly, "Wan'er, listen to Daddy, let's go back to Wen Mansion first." ”

Wen Wan looked at the few Wen Mansion guards scattered not far away, her eyes rolled, and she blinked pitifully.

"As long as the father is not embarrassed, the daughter is willing to do anything. But my father wants to come back early, I haven't seen my grandmother, uncle, and uncle for a long time, and I'm a little scared. ”

"It's okay, my mother is with you." Princess Jiarou turned her head and said to Third Master Wen, "Husband, go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait too long, don't worry about us." ”

Wen Sanye looked at the two uneasy and weak faces, and a feeling of guilt suddenly rose in his heart. Yes, knowing that his mother doesn't like his wife, and he doesn't really like Wan'er, but he lets his delicate wife and daughter go back to face their mother alone.

But the emperor's decree is greater than heaven.

"Madam, I have wronged you."

Princess Jiarou smiled softly, "It's okay, it's what a concubine should do, husband, go quickly." ”

The guards on the side also urged, "Third master, you better hurry up and enter the palace, it's not good to delay the hour, the old lady also understands, you can rest assured." ”

Wen Sanye listened, and did not hesitate, directly got into the carriage specially prepared by the Wen Mansion, and left quickly.

After Princess Jiarou looked around and found that there were no other carriages, she retracted her gaze very indifferently, turned around and got into the gentle carriage, and Zhihe Qiuhan also went down to guard it very well.

In the carriage.

"After all these years, why is my grandmother still so unproductive?" Wen Wan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but the ruddy cherry mouth spit out very mean words, "The elders didn't have time to greet them, and they didn't even come to the juniors." ”

"It's just an old woman with mud legs, and it's worth your upbringing?" Princess Jiarou peeled the grapes and said lightly.

Wen Wanbian flattened her mouth, "Isn't this a grievance for my mother?" ”

Princess Jiarou glanced at her daughter lightly, "I don't feel wronged, what are you wronged for me." ”

"Mother~"

Wen Wan was not happy now, and pulled Princess Jiarou's sleeve to be coquettish there.

Princess Jiarou stuffed the grapes into her gentle mouth, and the corners of her mouth curved, "The grapes can't stop your mouth." ”

Wen Wanjiao snorted and squirmed into Princess Jiarou's arms.

"Mother, I don't want to go to Wenfu. Over the years, we have given a lot of gifts every year, but I haven't seen the Wen Mansion return the gift, and every time the letter comes either openly and secretly scolding the mother for not being filial, or only caring about the father. I'm not a man, is that important? ”
